Actually, I just smelled the smell of living people. It was just because the number of people was small and the movement was slow. I guess I didn’t care, so I didn’t care, but I didn’t expect the other party to talk to us on his own initiative.

Three figures slowly walked out of the woods next to the highway and walked to us staggeringly. I was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the person who came was three white-haired old men.

The two old men were supporting an old lady in an old black cotton coat. The two old men were carrying luggage rolls behind her back. The one who had just opened her mouth was the old lady. She looked like she was in her eighties and had difficulty walking on one leg and seemed to be unable to stretch her out.

When A Ying saw that the person coming was an old man, he quickly poured another cup of ginger candy water and handed it to the old lady. There was snow on the top of the heads and shoulders of the three of them, and it was obvious that they were also rushing to the road in the snow.

The old lady took the cup with her trembling hands, poured hot sugar water into one mouthful, coughed twice before thanking her.

A Ying poured a glass of water for the other two old men. I remained silent next to me, feeling strange. The age of the three people is probably over two hundred years old. I have never seen such a combination before.

The elderly and children can be given priority care in peaceful times, but in troubled times, they are the first groups to suffer. It is difficult for them to survive in the harsh apocalyptic environment. If the camp lacks rations, this group will starve to death first.

However, there are many survivors who survived in this time and space. There is nothing to make a fuss about if there is an old man who can persevere until today.

Ah Ying is cute and young, and it is the easiest thing for people to relax and guard. She took advantage of the three old people sitting down to rest and started chatting with others.

The old lady was so old that she was just breathing as soon as she sat down. The two old men who were helping her beside her drank water and thanked A Ying. She also sat next to the old lady and started chatting with A Ying.

It turns out that these two old men are both the old lady's sons. The old lady is 87 years old this year, and her two sons are also in their seventies.

After the outbreak of the virus, the old lady's two daughters-in-law turned into zombies. Fortunately, there were grandchildren, granddaughter-in-law, and children at home. No matter how difficult the days after the disaster were, they did not treat them too hard.

But just half a month ago, monsters began to rogue in this area, whether it was a village or a camp, the house caught fire in the middle of the night.

"Isn't the house fire artificial?" A Ying asked in confusion.

"No, no, no, no, no oil or firewood, where can there be a sudden fire? Sometimes it is still an empty house where no one lives. Someone saw a red shadow when he got up in the middle of the night." The old lady's voice was particularly suitable for telling horror stories. The old and low voice also showed a gloomy mystery.

"Then you didn't send anyone to investigate?" A Ying asked with a frown as if she was little.

"Look, even if we don't understand people in our village, there are people who have worked as a detective in the city, but no reason is found." The old lady took a little rest and closed her messy white hair, and the fear in her eyes didn't seem to be pretending.

"So, you gave up on the village?" A Ying's little head turned quickly and asked with his big eyes.

"What else can I do? Escape. Several nearby villages are burned out. If you don't leave, no one will leave." The old lady's eldest son sighed helplessly.

A Ying obviously didn't believe in any ghosts. She believed that this matter was promising, and I also summarized the rough process of the incident from their conversation.

The fires in the old man's mouth occurred not only in one village, but several nearby villages were burned out, including several small towns, but no one could find out the cause.

The two groups of people we met before seemed to be victims of the nameless strange fire. Their villages and camps were engulfed by the strange fire. They were displaced and had no choice but to migrate overnight.

But the old lady said that although the fire was serious, not many people were killed. What's more strange is that the fire was very small every time it caught, and the house would collapse only after someone ran out of the house.

In other words, often the entire village is burned out, but no one dies from a fire.

The more I heard it, the more I felt that this was not like a monster, but rather someone wanted to drive them out of their homes.

"Grandma, have these people who came out to escape discussing where to go?" I sorted out the matter and then asked.

"After discussing, representatives will be sent to meet in any disaster-stricken place, and they will be scheduled to move with the place. There are many people on the way, so there will be a way to take care of it."

I felt very bad when I heard her say this, and it was a big deal, so I hurriedly asked her where to move.

"Walking eastward for two hundred miles, we will reach the city. I heard that the body was cleared and the house was empty. Let's go and avoid it." The old lady's second son replied.

"Has the zombies in the city been cleaned up?" A Ying asked in front of me.

"Yes, I don't understand what kind of game it is, it's done by a group of young people." The old lady shook her head, looking confused.

"Corpsicle hunting game, sign up for the event, and someone will take you to kill zombies." The old lady's eldest son explained.

"I heard that they all have a grudge against zombies, and some people are looking for excitement." The old lady's second son added.

"You mean, someone organized volunteers to kill zombies everywhere?" I asked.

"It's probably what it means. It sounds like a young man making a fool at first, but now it looks like he's still effective." said the old lady's eldest son.

"They will leave after they kill them?" I asked again.

This time the three old men nodded together, and I lowered my eyes to cover the emotions in my eyes.

On the surface, they took advantage of this matter for nothing, but I always think that the fire is a conspiracy.

The city they are talking about is just on our must-pass road. If I were the one who traveled alone, I wouldn't mind taking the risk to see what happened, but now I have three children and must not jump into the trap.

Just as I was thinking about how to take a detour to avoid that city, A Ying took the initiative to ask to accompany the three old people, saying that we were just on the way and could send them a ride.

I suddenly wanted to give Gu Yu a thumbs up. This girl is completely unaware of the dangers of the world, so it would be right not to let her participate in the battle.

To help others, you must also see the situation clearly. It doesn’t matter if you put yourself in, but the fatal thing is to implicate others.

I really want to wake up Ah Ying. She wants to help others with kindness, but once she encounters danger, who will she protect?

If something happens to the young, if something happens to the old, she will feel uneasy in the future. If something happens to the young, if something happens to the young, she will live in guilt for the rest of her life.

The worst thing is that she can’t protect anyone, and everyone dragged each other down and finished playing together.

"Grandma, I think the fire in the village may be man-made. The city that was cleared out is probably a trap. I advise you not to go." After pondering for a moment, I raised my eyes and said.

"What?" The three old men were stunned by my words.

"Someone wants to lead you all into that city," I said.

"What's the use of us when we go?" This time it was the old lady's second son who was confused.

"It's hard to say about the use, but there's definitely no good thing." Good things have to be used to force them to go. This is clearly driving the sheep, and the fate of the sheep is self-evident.

I took a deep look at A Ying who wanted to speak again. She might be naive, but not stupid. When she received my warning gaze, she pursed her lips and stopped making a sound.

I will neither watch the three old men die in a cold manner nor let Nini and A Ying take risks for them, so I will not hide a word from me. As for whether to listen or not, it is their own business.

To put it in an old way, the three old men ate more salt than the few of us had eaten. After I put forward the facts, they would naturally think about the truth.

After thinking for a while, the old lady finally decided to go and thanked us. She was supported by her two sons and continued on the way. Her staggering figure gradually was covered by heavy snow.

After the three of them walked away, A Ying asked: "They knew it might be a trap, so why did they go?"

"Because they have no place to go." So even though they knew there was a fire pit ahead, they had to jump down with their teeth because there was no way out.

A Ying was silent. She should have thought that the three old men are now without relatives, have no physical strength, no resources, and have no resources. The nearby villages and camps have been burned. With their abilities, where can they go?

I waited for a while, but didn't hear A Ying say anything else, and I felt relieved and a little relieved. Fortunately, A Ying was not so naive that she asked me to help save people.

"Sister, are we going to wait until dawn?" A Ying was silent for a while, and finally asked.

"You're deadly after a night of freezing here. They came from there. The village should be nearby. Although the house is gone, the cellar will definitely be there. Find a place to hide from the wind and snow first."

The snow showed no sign of decrease. I was frozen in the wind and snow all night. I, Nini and Qiuqiu would be fine, but A Ying's body would definitely not be able to bear it.

Originally, I wanted to go to that city and rest, but now I can only find a place temporarily. Anyway, all the people in the village have been exposed, and the people who set fire to achieve their goal, there is no need to set fire again.

The village is not too far from the road, but it takes more than half an hour to walk. Under the dark night, the village burned into scorched earth has become one with the night.

As the old man said, the houses in the village were not allowed to live in at all. Even if there was a layer of snow on the dark building residue, it could not hide the pungent burnt smell.

It is impossible for ordinary fires to burn cement brick houses into pieces. I suspect that these houses were burned by supernatural fire sources.

"Supernatural fire source? What kind of fire?...ghost fire?" A Ying didn't know if he was influenced by the old lady, his thinking only diverged in the direction of supernatural events. He leaned towards me while speaking, and looked around vigilantly.

"Absolutely." Although I don't agree with her defining the supernatural fire source as ghost fire, it is theoretically very close. The so-called ghost fire is phosphorus fire. Of course, phosphorus fire is also a natural fire source. The supernatural fire source I am talking about actually refers to supernatural powers, fire generated by fire-based supernatural powers. Like Zheng Chao's supernatural powers in the past, they can burn the house into slag without medium.

But Ah Ying misunderstood what I meant and became even more scared. Half of her body shrank behind me and whispered: "There is ghost fire, isn't there a ghost too?"

I laughed and teased her and said, "Of course, there are ghost fires, and there are naturally... people behind it."

I took the word 'man' very seriously. A Ying realized that she had misunderstood and looked up and asked, "Who would do such a thing?"

"I don't know." Even though that is the case, I still have some guesses in my mind. For example, the cannibals are too wasteful to search for human flesh everywhere, and they are trapped in the same place. It is like raising livestock, which will make it easier to eat in the future.
