Chapter 866 Gorge Village

Let’s talk about two things…

After a long and monotonous desert journey, a population gathering place finally appeared in front of the Hell Front Team.

Compared to the desert fortress that was as large as a small city, the place where Feng Bujue and his team came to could only be regarded as a small village.

The village is located in a mountain gorge. The towering rock walls on both sides protect the people here from the wind and sun, and also allow the village to avoid the eyes and ears of many robbers.

The various shacks, rock shelves, caves, etc. that are closely integrated with the terrain form a unique architectural style here.

The rabbits living here look like the kind of relatively peaceful residents. Most of them wear coarse cloth clothes or woven products, and their body shapes are obviously different from those slave traders in the desert.

It’s not that these villagers are different from those bandit rabbits, but because this group of people (rabbits) can only barely fill their stomachs through hard work on weekdays, their physique is naturally not as strong as those guys who rely on robbery to get enough food and clothing.

Dangdangdangdang——

"The slave traders are coming! Everyone, hide quickly!"

When the members of the Hell Front Team rode their motorcycles close to the entrance of the gorge, the sound of hammering iron immediately rang out in the village, and someone could clearly be heard shouting and warning the villagers.

"Brother Jue... we seem to have been misunderstood..." Seeing this, Xiao Tan turned around and said.

"It's because we were riding motorcycles." Feng Bujue replied.

"It's also possible that the people from the Corpse Blade Second Division entered the village ahead of us and said something to the villagers." Xiao Ling added.

"Eh?" After she reminded him, Xiao Tan immediately said in surprise, "Then wouldn't it be very likely that we would be ambushed?"

"Don't be nervous..." Feng Bujue continued in a very relaxed tone, "Even if the Corpse Blade people really came to this village, they only said some bad things about us to the villagers at most. You obviously overthink the ambush... Unless the enemy knew in advance that we would definitely come to this village, otherwise why would they ambush us?" He paused and continued. "Let's take a step back...assuming they really knew we were coming and planned to ambush us here..." He turned his head and pointed his eyes forward, "...then how could we see this 'alerting the enemy' scene in front of us?"

"Oh..." Xiao Tan understood it very quickly, "That's right..."

As they were talking, they had arrived at the entrance of the village, and the defense line formed by the villagers was in place.

A "movable wall" made of a mixture of scrap metal, stone and plastic products was put down, blocking the players' way. There were also many protruding sharp objects on the wall, which looked really like that.

Behind the wall was a row of "fully armed" villagers, both men and women. The weapons they held were mainly sticks and homemade spears (usually just a sharpened stone or metal spear head tied to the top of a long stick). The protective gear was various simple sports protective gear and homemade shields (including trash can lids, manhole covers, plastic plates, etc., and some shields had obvious holes on them). The few guys holding crossbows should be considered the most combat-capable among this group of people (rabbits), but they are obviously not good enough in front of the players.

"Stop! You bunch of slave traders! Don't get close to our village!" Before the players stopped the car, they heard a delicate cry.

Feng Bujue looked carefully and saw that the one who shouted was a female rabbit star holding a crossbow and standing in the middle of the defense line.

"Hehe..." Brother Jue smiled slightly and replied in a relatively gentle tone, "Don't get me wrong, we are not slave traders." He pointed at the motorcycle under his crotch. "We stole this car from a group of slave traders."

Who knew that the other party followed up with a sentence: "Then you are robbers?"

In a sense... this logic is really correct...

"No~ No~" Feng Bujue still maintained that calm and kind, even though he was stared at by dozens of hostile rabbit stars, he still seemed slow and methodical; and this calm and leisurely attitude... is undoubtedly part of his negotiation skills. "We four... are just travelers who came to your planet by accident. We were attacked by slave traders not long ago, so we had to resist with force. As a result, those guys were no match for us and fled, leaving the motorcycle behind."

"Who would believe you?"

"Don't think we are easy to fool!"

"Yes! Go back! Don't get close to our village!"

Obviously, these few words alone are not enough to convince these NPCs.

"Hehe..." Brother Jue would naturally not turn around and leave. He is brave enough, thick-skinned enough, and strong enough. No matter what you say... he just won't leave. "Everyone... you have no reason to doubt my words." He spread his hands and made a very sincere look, "Look... we are not Rabbit Star people at all. Let me say something unpleasant... what reason do we have to go to a deserted planet to be robbers?"

After this sentence came out, the noise of the villagers became lower, because Feng Bujue was talking about common sense... Even if those villagers had deep prejudices against outsiders, they could not deny this obvious fact.

"Everyone... we really don't have any bad intentions, we just want to stay in your village and rest for a while." Feng Bujue saw that the other party's attitude had eased a little, so he immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "If you are worried that we are going to plunder your food and water, then you can rest assured..." He said, lowering his head and winking at Xiao Tan.

Xiao Tan immediately understood and took out a few bags of snacks from his bag: "Yes, we have enough food..." He seemed to suddenly remember something, and then took out a large bottle of mineral water from his bag, raised it high and said, "Look~ We have water too."

When the Rabbit Star people saw the bottle of water in Xiao Tan's hand, their eyes turned red.

They haven't seen such clean and transparent water for a long time... a long time...

80% of the water used by the villagers on a daily basis comes from wells deep underground. This water is more or less polluted, and the amount is not much. Most of it has to be used to irrigate crops, and a small part can be used for drinking. The remaining 20%... is all treated recycled water. You can imagine how it is recycled... Anyway, this water can only be used for washing things, not drinking.

In short... For these law-abiding villagers living in the end times, a bottle of clean water is a luxury, far more valuable than gold.

And Xiao Tan didn't expect that his unintentional act would become a stepping stone for them to enter the village...

"In that case... you wait..." The leading female rabbit star was stunned for a few seconds, swallowed her saliva, and her attitude softened, "I'm going to ask the 'elder' first." (To be continued...)
