"You mean, you've come into contact with many people before, but I'm the first one that Chen Ben feels he should be wary of?"

Jasmine didn't understand why I had such a big reaction. She nodded blankly and said as a matter of course.

"Yes, all of us were picked up by Chen Ben from outside one by one."

"I thought, uncle, you could become one of us."

I clenched my fists suddenly, then suddenly unclenched them, my heart full of doubts.

This matter is a bit too abnormal, whether it is what Chen Ben or Jasmine said.

I paused, then asked seriously.

"Everyone except me stayed in this small group, right?"

Jasmine nodded without hesitation and replied.

"Yes, except for you, uncle, everyone else stayed. What on earth did you do to make Chen Ben dislike you so much?"

I moved the corners of my mouth and showed a bitter smile. I didn't explain, but I felt more and more weird in my heart.

Although Tongtong and I behaved a little strangely, it wasn't annoying enough. I wondered what Chen Ben was guarding against.

While I was deep in thought, Lu Ruisheng, who was standing next to the disaster, fanned the smoke off his face and spoke lightly to everyone.

"Okay, it's time to start dinner."

Hearing this, the teenagers seemed to forget the tense atmosphere. They hurriedly took out bowls from the house and lined up one after another.

Jasmine was stunned for a moment, then she pulled Xiaojuzi and joined the team.

Seeing this, I couldn't continue asking Jasmine questions, so I had to give up and found two porcelain bowls from the box that Tongtong and I brought.

The two porcelain bowls were pressed in the box where the books were kept, along with chopsticks, spoons and other things. These were not things we brought with us at the beginning, but were purchased in the previous city.

Lu Ruisheng took on the responsibility of distributing the food. His facial features were like stiff ornaments, without any expression, and his hands were very steady. Could it be said that he was worthy of being a surgeon?

He held the small spoon and with unusually quick and precise movements, he quickly poured a spoonful of broth onto the teenagers in line, and then spoke in a somewhat cold voice.

"next."

I had no interest in this. After taking a few glances, I held my head and continued to think about the strangeness of Chen Ben.

But in the end, Tongtong and I got the most meat in our bowls, which must have been intentional on Lu Ruisheng's part.

Just as I expected, the taste of rabbit meat cooked with potatoes is hard to describe. It’s not delicious, but it’s not terrible either.

But those boys ate with great relish, not even a drop of soup was left. Jasmine seemed to be worried that I would be embarrassed, so she brought Xiaojuzi and sat in front of Tongtong and me.

I held the bowl and took a look at the meat in Jasmine and Xiaojuzi's bowls. Lu Ruisheng took good care of these two people, so there was quite a lot of meat in their bowls.

Little Orange couldn't see, so he sat obediently on a wooden stool with his mouth cutely open, while Jasmine patiently picked up pieces of meat and slowly put them into Little Orange's mouth.

Gradually, Jasmine gave all the meat in the two bowls to Xiaojuzi, leaving only some boiled potato cubes for herself.

Four rabbits were too much to share among fifteen people, including us.

Seeing that Jasmine's bowl was empty, I looked at the meat in my hand that I hadn't touched yet, so I picked up the bowl, poured the meat into Jasmine's bowl, and left some potatoes for me.

Jasmine looked at me in surprise, and then hurriedly wanted to pour the meat in the bowl back to me. I stretched out my hand to stop her action and signaled with my eyes to let her look at Little Orange who was chewing the meat hard.

Little Orange didn't know that his brother gave all the meat to him. If Jasmine made a sound, the child would probably know and he would probably feel guilty at that time.

Jasmine hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped struggling. Seeing this, I smiled slightly, lowered my head, and started eating the potatoes in the bowl.

Just as this was happening, a pair of chopsticks was handed to me with a piece of meat on it. I looked up and saw Tongtong looking at me seriously and speaking in the tone of Jasmine.

"Be good, open your mouth."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I opened my mouth obediently. Tongtong is a more stubborn person than me, and it would be futile to refuse. I bit off the piece of meat that Tongtong had picked up and whispered.

“You don’t have to learn everything.”

Hearing this, Tongtong smiled coquettishly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked like she was asking, "What can you do to me?"

In such an atmosphere, the breakfast ended like this.

Tongtong and I didn't let Chen Ben rush us. We packed our things quickly, holding the boxes we brought yesterday, and left the yard under Jasmine's reluctant gaze.

It was still early morning and the wind was a little cold.

Tongtong and I each carried a box and walked on the snow, and our shoes soon got wet.

Perhaps because she no longer had to stay in such a crowded place, Tongtong seemed very happy. She kicked the snow under her feet as she walked, like a little child.

But I was still thinking about what happened that day, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Tongtong glanced at me, tilted her head slightly, and asked.

"Are you still thinking about that group of people?"

I sighed, hugged the box, and said with a headache.

"That Chen Ben is so weird. I really can't understand why he is so against us."

"Are we two that annoying?"

After hearing this, Tongtong began to think about it seriously. After a moment, she suddenly kicked me and asked.

"That Chen Ben, after we met him, have you ever seen how he slept?"

I was startled when I heard that, then shook my head and said indifferently.

"I didn't notice that. He seemed to be sleeping in the wheelchair last night."

Tongtong heard this and asked me again without any pause.

"Have you seen his arms?"

I thought about it carefully and said it seriously.

"His arms were the same color as his skin, a sickly pale color, but other than that, there was nothing unusual."

"Have you ever seen him eat?"

Tongtong's questions kept coming one after another, and I needed to think carefully before I could answer them.

"I didn't pay attention to it. The guy seemed to be hiding during dinner and didn't let us see him."

After hearing my answer, Tongtong imitated me, frowned slightly, and spoke softly.

"That person gave me a very strange feeling. When he saw us yesterday, he looked very happy, but after we met, he quickly became cold."

"Maybe he decided to let us leave from that moment on."

I didn't agree with Tongtong's guess, but I thought it was very interesting to see Tongtong thinking seriously, so I didn't refute anything and asked with a smile.

"Do you have anything else to add?"

Tongtong frowned even more tightly, shook her head slightly, and said somewhat disappointedly.

"I can't really explain it. He's just very weird. And his arm, my intuition tells me there's something wrong with that arm."

As we were talking, Tongtong and I had returned to the jeep. It seemed that there was a light snowfall last night, and the body of the jeep was covered with a thin layer of snow.

I put aside my distracting thoughts and put the box into the trunk of the jeep. Just as I was about to discuss with Tongtong what to do next, a gray pigeon came into my sight.

The pigeon was perched on a branch by the roadside, and seemed to be looking at Tongtong and me. Perhaps it was a sudden inspiration, but I always felt that this pigeon looked very much like the one that Chen Ben released in the morning.

Then, I felt that this idea was too outrageous. In our opinion, all pigeons in the world might look the same.

I couldn't help but laugh at my own suspicion. After looking at the gray pigeon, I was about to open the car door. At this moment, I suddenly heard a low growl of a wild beast.

The next moment, there was a sudden roar in my ears. Before I could react, a huge force hit me and knocked me to the ground. Before I could react, I saw a gray wolf shadow pressing on me, and its sharp teeth bit into my neck with a low growl.

I felt a sharp pain, but before I could do anything, the gray wolf was torn in half in an instant.

My facial features were slightly distorted in pain, and I reached out to cover the wound on my neck, but I saw Tongtong holding the wolf's body that had been broken into two pieces with both hands, looking around vigilantly.

The immortal body worked quickly, but the pain could not be dissipated for a while. I covered my neck with my hands with a strange look on my face.

The wolf was extremely vicious, and his first intention was to bite me to death. His teeth had already broken the artery in my neck, and large amounts of blood quickly flowed out from the irregular cut.

It's so unlucky that there are wolves in this place. Is it because the disappearance of humans has caused the territory of these wild beasts to become so large?

But before the blood stained my clothes, the wound had healed on its own and no more blood flowed.

I loosened my hand, looked at Tongtong who was still on guard, and spoke softly.

"Tongtong, did you find anything?"

Tongtong still looked around warily and spoke in a low voice.

"It's a very strange feeling. I feel like a lot of things are rushing towards this side."

"It's coming for us."

I grinned, stopped thinking about Chen Ben and the others, quickly took out my pistol, pulled the safety bolt, and looked towards the mountain.

I saw a mouse suddenly emerge from the white snow. Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, many other mice followed closely behind it.

This was not the end. Wolves, wild dogs, foxes, a group of flying birds, and all kinds of birds and beasts, like crazy, rushed towards Tongtong and me from afar.

I raised my hand and grabbed the gun, quickly stepped on a mouse to death, and pulled the trigger at a stray dog ​​running towards me.

Bang! Gunshots rang out, but the birds and beasts seemed to be deaf and rushed over one after another.

Tongtong's figure flashed and quickly appeared in the distance. She grabbed the tail of a gray wolf with one hand, swung the wolf's corpse like a broom, and smashed it at the mouse on the ground.

Amid the shrill growls of wild beasts, Tongtong spoke anxiously while swinging the wolf corpse.

"I thought of one thing. Chen Ben's body is not what it appears to be."

I stepped on the rats on the ground again and again and pulled the trigger of the gun in my hand, but compared with the increasing number of rats, it was just a drop in the bucket.

"Remember Chen Ke's arm? His arm is exactly the same as a normal person's."

A few mice had already climbed up my legs and onto my body and began to feast on my food, while Tongtong continued talking.

"As a disabled person with injured legs, his arm muscles should have degenerated due to physical reasons and lack of exercise."

"Although he didn't use his hands at all yesterday, his hands didn't look like those of a disabled person."

"Although he can move his hands, his arms should have been thinner than normal before."

"But whether it's his arms or his legs, they all look the same as normal people. He doesn't look disabled at all."

Hearing this, I stepped on a few more rats to death, but was still quickly surrounded by the swarming rats and completely overwhelmed.

As the mouse bit me, I struggled hard and subconsciously used my potentially dangerous mimicry ability to transform my body into that of a porcupine, except that the bone spurs that suddenly appeared were much denser than those of a porcupine.

The sharp bone spurs instantly pierced through the bodies of countless mice. I rolled on the ground, holding the pistol, and quickly shot at the beasts.

At this time, Tongtong was slaughtering the rats, birds and beasts at an extremely fast speed.

Only after I emptied my magazine did I have time to answer Tongtong's question.

"This is not surprising. Chen Ben's hands are not disabled, and he has a surgeon named Lu Ruisheng by his side. He knows how to save Chen Ben's body."

At this time, Tongtong no longer had any intention of continuing to refute, but instead slaughtered those crazy animals at an extremely fast speed.

After twenty minutes, all the beasts died at Tongtong's feet and the crisis was successfully resolved.

Tongtong glanced at me quickly and added again.

"That Chen Ben, we haven't seen him have a normal metabolism from yesterday to now."

"He doesn't sleep, doesn't eat, doesn't drink water, and has no metabolism."

"There is definitely something wrong with that guy named Chen Ben."

I shook my head, thinking that this conclusion was a bit too arbitrary, but when my eyes swept over, I found that the gray pigeon was still perched on the branch, staring at me quietly.

A hint of chill came over me. Looking at the grey dove, I suddenly felt a little cold and tightened my clothes unconsciously.

Chapter 158: The City Where Demons Live (I)

Tongtong's inference was still a bit arbitrary, but looking at the animal corpses all over the ground, I couldn't say anything to refute it.

This place exudes a weird atmosphere everywhere.

For example, Chen Ben, and these wild beasts that suddenly attacked. If it weren't for Tongtong and I here, I'm afraid that only two corpses would be left here.

The grey pigeon seemed to be tired of my face and was about to fly away with its wings flapping. At this moment, I suddenly raised my hand and shot the grey pigeon.

Gunshots rang out, and the pigeon's body was smashed into pieces and fell to the ground.
