Nightmare Attack

He didn't care at all about the vicious gaze following him.

The more Chen Xiaomeng looked at Jiang Cheng's face, the more annoyed she became, and she wanted to strangle him immediately.

Anping Town is not large, and the hotel is in the center of the town. Soon they reached the edge of the town, where an old man was leaning against the fence, smoking a cigarette.

It seems that the old man's life is relatively poor, his clothes are very shabby, there are patches piled on top of the patches, his trouser legs are stained with mud, his two slightly opened eyes look cloudy, and he may have lost his sight.

The fence behind them was dirty and messy. They had probably been raising livestock such as pigs and donkeys before, but now there was only messy straw mixed in the mud, and a stench came from time to time with the wind.

Pei Qian looked at the old man from a distance for a while, then walked forward very naturally with his hands behind his back.

Chen Xiaomeng thought about it and wanted to follow him to have a look, but was stopped by Zhou Rong.

Pei Gan, who came to the old man's side, leaned against the fence next to him without hesitation. After a while, the two old men of similar age started talking.

Gradually, the old man seemed to become interested, and even turned around and pointed at the fence, as if he was introducing something to Pei Gan.

Ten minutes later, Pei Gan said goodbye and left.

The simple old man trembled and took out a crumpled homemade cigarette from his patched pocket and wanted to give it to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian politely declined, but the old man seemed to have a bad temper and kept asking him to accept it. Pei Qian nodded, accepted it and thanked the old man.

Then he walked back to his team.

"Mr. Pei," Zhou Rong said as he walked away, "Do you have any clues about that woman?"

Pei Gan nodded and held the hard-earned cigarette in his mouth without smoking, as if he was feeling the taste of this era.

"That woman is not from the town, but from a nearby village." He said slowly, "She came here about half a month ago. She said that her husband was missing. Then she took a few portraits and looked around. She looked crazy. Everyone in the neighborhood has seen her."

Jiang Zhongyi hunched over and asked in a low voice, "Her husband disappeared in the town?"

Pei Gan shook his head, "No, it's in their village."

Benfu, who had never spoken, frowned, raised his head and said doubtfully: "Since he disappeared in the village, he should be found near the village. What are he looking for in the town?"

Penfolds' problems represent confusion for others, which is counterintuitive.

Everyone looked at Pei Qian. It was impossible for him not to be aware of such an obvious problem. After a moment of silence, Pei Qian paused and looked in one direction.

Following his line of sight, it was a winding dirt road. Maybe it had just rained last night, and the road was full of potholes and muddy.

Looking from a distance, there are mountains in the distance and lush dense forests at the foot of the mountains.

It was getting late, but there were no birds returning to their nests, and no insects or beasts were heard. The mountains and woods took on a strange sense of silence, as if they were dead.

After watching it for a long time, it’s even a little weird.

Zhou Rong seemed to realize something. He looked at Pei Gan with an indescribable look and said in a strange tone: "That village is in the mountains?"

Pei Gan nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "The man told me not to care about that woman, let alone sympathize with her. No matter what we came to do, we should leave as soon as we are done and don't meddle in other people's business."

Yu Man pursed her lips and suddenly asked, "Why?"

"Because of that village," Pei Gan turned around and stared at her with a long look. After a while, he slowly said, "He said that people can't interfere with the affairs in that village."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

The mission finally came.

It was getting late, and the sun set here faster than expected. Before I even walked back to the hotel, it was already half dark.

In such a strange world, darkness always gives people a meaning related to death. Everyone quickened their pace. The streets that were still familiar during the day suddenly seemed strange now.

Building after building is hidden in the hazy darkness, like a ghost in disguise, ready to choose people to eat.

The nightlife in that era was far less prosperous than it is now, especially in such a remote town. Everyone went to bed almost as soon as it got dark.

The lack of entertainment at night has also led to a high birth rate.

Of course, Jiang Cheng is the only one who is currently in the mood to worry about the country and the people.

Everyone else was rushing on their way worriedly.

Fortunately, Anping Hotel is a landmark building in the town. Large red lanterns are hung on all four corners, making it very conspicuous at night.

As they got closer to the hotel, they were surprised to find that not only was the door of the hotel open, but there were also many people standing outside the door.

About 8 or 9.

Among them, the boss I saw in the afternoon was standing in front of the door, with a red face and a wooden stick in his hand, as if he was arguing with another group of people.

The sound of quarrels mixed with dialects could be heard far away in the silent night.

As several people approached, some of the people arguing with the boss noticed them, and then the remaining people swarmed over.

"You are the experts who are here to help us!" A man about 60 years old was helped over.

He was obviously the one in charge of this group of people, and the others gathered around him, "I am the village chief of Xiaoshijian Village. Ahem, my surname is Liu."

The man who called himself Village Chief Liu seemed very excited when he saw them. He grabbed Zhou Rong's hand and refused to let go. He seemed to believe that these people in front of him were his saviors.

His whole body was trembling, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he was in tears.

Others around him also started to cry.

Zhou Rong acted very calmly, neither agreeing nor denying, but simply responded: "Hello, Village Chief Liu, what are you doing?"

A tall and strong man next to him said excitedly: "We heard that you have arrived in Anping Town. No, the village chief specially brought us here to greet you!"

The man was at least 2 meters tall, half a head taller than Jiang Cheng. He had a dark complexion and was extremely strong. Standing in the night, he looked like a door god.

The red lantern light made the bulging muscles on the man's body look angular.

Jiang Zhongyi, the thinnest among them, couldn't help but swallowed secretly when he saw it. He suspected that the man could pinch him to death with his muscles.

In the subsequent exchanges, several people confirmed that the so-called Xiaoshijian Village was the village mentioned by the old man Diyan, and that it was located in the mountains behind him.

And their identities are people invited by the village to help.

This "busy" must be the task itself.

Now that the mission location has been determined, it's time to set off.

They made an agreement with the village chief to meet in front of the hotel tomorrow morning, and then go with them to Xiaoshijian Village.
