Chapter 576 Alien Race
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Cheng and Jiang Yueshen both felt a tightness in their hearts.
If the snow really continues for a month as the old village chief said, then their mission will be completely ruined.
In this poor mountain village, supplies are limited and the consequences of eating up all the resources are disastrous.
Jiang Yueshen immediately looked at the old village chief and asked, "Do you have a way to get out?"
The old village chief nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes.
I know a shortcut here that will take us out of this valley. Once we get out of here, it won’t snow outside.”
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. The snow was so heavy, and yet there was something so strange about it.
Jiang Yueshen thought to himself that perhaps the unique geography and climate here caused such strange weather phenomena.
"You go on."
Jiang Yueshen stared at the old village chief and urged.
The old village chief swallowed his saliva and continued, "If you are going west, I know the way.
But if we go east, I really have no idea what the situation is like down the mountain, nor do I know whether it is snowing there.
We have lived here for hundreds of years and have basically never been out, so we have never harmed anyone."
Jiang Yueshen listened, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring straight at the old village chief.
The old village chief felt uneasy at the look and added hastily:
"My young descendants have never seen humans before. They were curious for a moment and that is why they caused the misunderstanding. Please don't be offended, sir."
Jiang Yueshen snorted coldly, not believing his words at all, and said:
"If it's just a misunderstanding, how can you joke about human life?" The old village chief was so scared that he nodded repeatedly and kept admitting his mistakes.
At this time, Luo Cheng stepped forward, looked at the old village chief, and said politely:
"Old man, we really have to go west."
When the old village chief heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, I can lead the way for you. I promise to take you out of this snowy area within two days."
Luo Cheng and Jiang Yueshen looked at each other, and a hint of hesitation flashed in each other's eyes.
In the current situation, with the mountain blocked by heavy snow, they really have no better solution and can only choose to trust the old village chief.
Although this old village chief is a weasel and there have been unpleasant things between them before, it seems that at this moment, we can only rely on his power.
After Jiang Yueshen pondered for a moment, he said to the old village chief:
"Okay, we'll trust you this time. But you'd better not play any tricks.
If you dare to cheat us again, your descendants will suffer. "
The old village chief was so frightened that he trembled all over and said quickly, "No, no, I will do my best to lead the way for you adults."
Luo Cheng also said: "Brother Jiang, it seems that this is the only way for now. We just need to be more careful."
......
In this valley, time seems to be cast under a spell and passes by extremely quickly.
Just now it was a sunny day, but in the blink of an eye, the sun was like a tired golden ball, sliding rapidly towards the west.
After a while, it completely disappeared into the sky, and the night fell like a huge piece of black silk, gently but resolutely covering the entire world.
Luo Cheng stood in the center of the camp, his posture upright and his eyes determined. He quickly issued an order:
"Soldiers, go into the village and find a safe old house and start setting up tents. Everyone must pay attention to safety!"
The warriors responded in unison, and their voices echoed in the silent valley with an unquestionable power.
They acted quickly, like a group of well-trained cheetahs, moving around the village in search of a suitable location.
Jiang Yueshen turned around and said to the Black Evil God: "Old Black, check the surrounding area carefully to see if there are any hidden dangers."
The Black Evil God nodded, and his figure instantly disappeared into the night like a flash of black lightning.
Jiang Yueshen looked in the direction where Lao Hei left and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he could spend the night peacefully.
He holds the descendants of the old village chief in his hands, which is undoubtedly an important bargaining chip, giving him the confidence to deal with any possible changes.
He thought to himself that if this old beast dared to have the slightest intention of harming others, he would show no mercy and would kill all of his descendants to prevent future troubles.
Not long after, Lao Hei returned like a ghost and said in a low voice: "Wang, it's okay. There is no unusual movement around."
After hearing this, Jiang Yueshen's tense nerves finally relaxed a little and he nodded slightly as a response to Lao Hei.
Meanwhile, the soldiers' construction work was progressing smoothly.
They first set up tents for female comrades including Mr. Chen and Wen Ranran, with their movements being skillful and quick.
After a while, several tents were firmly stood in the relatively safe empty house.
The heating stoves brought by the army were also properly placed to provide warmth for Mr. Chen and the female comrades.
However, there are only three heating stoves in total, which seems a bit insufficient in this icy and snowy environment, but this is all we can do.
Luo Cheng walked into his tent and saw the only heating stove. He hesitated for a moment.
Then he took it out of the tent, came to Jiang Yueshen, and said:
"Brother Jiang, you can use this stove. I see you've been busying around for everyone else and haven't taken care of yourself."
Jiang Yueshen smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said:
"Brother Luo, that's not necessary. My physique is different from that of ordinary people, so I really don't feel the cold. You can keep it for use."
Luo Cheng looked at Jiang Yueshen's determined eyes and knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, so he had to give up. However, in his heart, he felt a little more respect for Jiang Yueshen's character.
Soon, night fell completely and the cold came like a tide.
To express his apology, the old village chief came to the camp, trembling with joy, holding some live chickens.
These chickens have bright feathers and are obviously pheasants from the mountains.
Jiang Yueshen looked at these lively pheasants and couldn't help but feel a little more curious about the old village chief, the weasel.
He thought to himself, this old guy really has some tricks up his sleeve. He knows to keep the food that cannot be finished in one meal and save it for slaughter later. This behavior is quite similar to that of humans.
Jiang Yueshen thought to himself, if these beasts had been hiding in this mountain den,
If they don't go out and harm others, they might be able to evolve into a unique alien race in time.
The soldiers in the kitchen took the pheasant and quickly started to get busy.
They slaughtered and cleaned the animals skillfully, then set up the pot and started stewing.
Soon, the rich aroma of chicken soup filled the entire camp, causing the soldiers to salivate.
In this harsh environment, everyone felt extremely satisfied to be able to eat such a delicious chicken meal.
Everyone sat together, enjoying the food and chatting happily.
Wen Ranran looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "After these weasels became spirits, their lives are almost the same as humans. It's amazing."
Jiang Yueshen smiled and said with a deep gaze: "This world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders.
Perhaps humans simply evolved early, walked out of the mountains earlier, and were able to reproduce rapidly, thus occupying the entire water planet.
But who can guarantee that there are no other alien races in other corners of the world?"
