the last gentleman

Chapter 106 Cooperation and Passive Cooperation

The underground karst cave is a [secret room] with a relatively high terrain, which can only be reached through several narrow paths.

This is the girl's home,

The bonfire made of wood is burning, making a joint-like sound, and some wood will even squirm among the flames, like limbs of a living person.

As for the source of wood, you only need to walk more than 300 meters along the stone corridor outside the secret room to reach the woodland outside the village.

The light released by the bonfire tried its best to illuminate this grotto chamber,
The water infiltrated by the carbonate layer will drip along the stalactites of different lengths and be collected by a handmade wooden basin, which can be used for drinking and washing the body.

Yi Chen and the girl sat opposite each other in front of the bonfire, and the pig's head mask cut by his claws was temporarily put aside.

"Aside from drinking water, what do you usually eat?"

"Eat this most of the time..."

The girl directly put her arm into the fire, took out a piece of burning wood, shook it quickly to extinguish the flame, and put it in her mouth to chew.

Not to mention, although there is some distance, Yi Chen can smell a smell of meat from the roasted branches.

The girl smiled and asked, "Do you think I will eat the 'vagrants' in the cave?"

Yi Chen did not respond, but took the opportunity to ask: "Refugees? Do you mean the villagers who have no use value and are thrown down?"

"I don't know much about the value of use. Occasionally, I will hear someone outside the well mouth say something like 'refugees', and then I will throw them down.

They are basically powerless and almost dead.Either choose to float in the lake, or climb up to the shore with all your strength and wait for death.

I won't eat them. After all, they used to be from the village and knew their parents.

These twigs are tough, but they keep me alive.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you can catch chickens in the woods... that stuff is delicious! "

Speaking of this, the girl was so greedy that she drooled. It seemed that she hadn't caught a chicken for a long time.

"How did you get down here?"

"I don't remember very clearly. It seems that I have been down here since I can remember~ Maybe my parents sent me down to protect me from bad people."

"Did your parents not come down?"

"No, I've always been alone..."

Yi Chen's eyes suddenly changed, and he caught a rather obvious contradiction.

"Wait! You said earlier that the 'gentlemen' who Mommy told you to help the village were good people.

Since you have been here since you can remember and have never met your parents, why do you remember this sentence?And you seem to remember a lot about your parents, and even the village? "

When Yi Chen raised these questions, the girl had a puzzled look on her face, and at the same time bent her right leg and scratched her head with her big toe.

Then he made a very serious expression and looked at Yi Chen:

"You are right~ I also feel very strange, obviously I have been down there all the time, but my brain has memories about my parents and the village, and I even remember clearly some words my mother said to me.

I don't know if my brain is broken. "

"It may have something to do with your long-term stay here... caused by overlapping and missing memories."

"Oh~" The girl Lai Ni had a half-understanding expression, and then pulled out two burning wooden sticks, gnawed on one for herself, and handed the other to Yi Chen, "Big brother, do you want some?"

Yi Chen wanted to refuse, but he was really hungry.And roasted plants like this have no fishy smell, which is barely acceptable.

After a short time of contact and conversation,
Yi Chen has judged that although the girl in front of her is a patient, she is completely harmless... She even has mature and correct three views, a firm stand and independent thinking, and she is more inclined to "Patient Zero" than the chicken mother-in-law.

And she is obviously different from the chicken mother-in-law,
The chicken mother-in-law lives because of "revenge", but the girl Leni just lives here simply, without extra thoughts, just like a piece of white paper that has never been soaked in the colors of the world.

"Big brother, the [cure] you mentioned should mean killing all the bad guys above?"

"That's right...the village is dying, and there is only one way to get rid of it."

The girl just nodded slightly, without any change in expression.

"As much as I'd love to help you, I'm terribly afraid to go up there... My body resists the thought of the village, especially the bad guys in weird costumes."

Yi Chen suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to help me?"

The girl nodded seriously, "Well... as long as I don't go up to the village or meet those guys in weird costumes, I'm willing to help."

"If I lure the village chief down, are you willing to help me kill him together?"

"village head……"

The girl scratched her head with her toes again,
"As long as I can lure the village chief down, and don't lure too many other things, I can indeed help you. Moreover, there is a place below here that can just trap a big guy like the village chief."

"Then let's put it this way, I will be responsible for bringing the village chief down."

"Okay, when is it?"

"Now."

Jin's situation is unknown, and Yi Chen has no time to waste.

The reason for spending time in contact with the girl Leni is also purposeful.

Because Lai Ni showed extremely high combat effectiveness and is very familiar with the underground caves below the village, as long as she can confirm her position and heart, she can try to cooperate.

It is too risky to directly deal with the village chief when there is nothing left.

Not to mention whether the weapons and clothing can be retrieved,

Once the alarm in the village is triggered, various butchers, scavengers and other special villagers will attack together.

If you want to kill the village chief, you must use all means and existing relationships, even if you need to bear the risks.

"This is where I usually chop firewood. It's far from the village, so no one usually comes here."

"Just wait for me near the mouth of the well. I will lure the village chief down as soon as possible."

"Big brother be careful!"

After saying goodbye to Lai Ni, Yi Chen decided to meet the chicken mother-in-law again.

Since Leni said that she had caught a chicken before, it means that the chicken mother-in-law's residence should not be too far away.

Put on the pig's head mask again (the incision has been sutured with plants), bypass the villagers patrolling the forest, and arrive at the residence of the chicken mother-in-law as quickly as possible.

Get into the slideway inside the tree and land in front of the chicken mother-in-law.

Yi Chen immediately gave his detailed plan to disturb the village and draw out the village chief.

however,
But the chicken mother-in-law just looked at him and didn't express any opinion on the plan.

Caressing the granddaughter's head and the blonde hair that has turned into chicken feathers,
Granny Chicken slowly opened dozens of chicken eyes on her forehead, and a kind of disdain, even contempt, gradually appeared in her eyes.

He was full of disgust for the young man in front of him wearing a pig's head mask and wearing tattered shorts.

"Your action has failed once, why should I bet the lives of the children to assist you? Your companion who is stronger than you has been captured, and you want to kill the village chief alone?
Hahaha!Waste should have the consciousness of waste. "

The mocking sound of mother-in-law chicken echoed in the chicken coop area,

Maybe she has never taken a fancy to Yi Chen, but she just wants to use Yi Chen as a "central axis" to adjust a powerful combat force like Jin and complete her revenge plan for her.

The previous conversation was indeed revealing,

But it is limited to her longing for her granddaughter and hatred for the village chief, and she uses this true feeling to cover up her hypocrisy.

Now, Kim is missing,
Yi Chen, who returned to the chicken coop alone and lost her equipment, was nothing to her, no different from those human teams who went to the forest to seek their own death.
"For the sake of our friendly exchanges, I will give you a minute to leave my chicken coop... Otherwise, I don't mind making you into chicken feed."

Hearing this, Yi Chen nodded meaningfully, but did not reply.

The change in Granny Chicken's attitude reminded him of the type of person he hated and disgusted the most.

Suddenly, he raised the butcher's knife in his hand high, and suddenly... Shua!

blood splatter~
This knife was not aimed at Granny Chicken, but Yi Chen himself.

The blade cut on the right side of the chest, tearing off a whole piece of meat, exposing the ribs.

The chicken mother-in-law sitting opposite was also very puzzled by the situation in front of her. She didn't know what the young man wanted to do, and even suspected that he was crazy.

Just then... Plop!
A strong heartbeat was heard by the chicken mother-in-law.

She stared at Yi Chen's self-harming chest with all her chicken eyes wide open.

Through the gaps in the bloodshot ribs, one could see a strange beating heart covered with black hair.

"what is this?"

Just when she was wondering,

The surface of the pitch-black heart slowly opened its mouth, and an eyeball rolled out of its throat!
look at each other.

A powerful spiritual force penetrated all the eyes of Grandma Chicken and bombarded her brain together.

When she regained her senses,
Yi Chen was already standing beside the chair, holding a bloody butcher's knife in one hand, and pinching the chicken embryonic tumor that had just been taken out of her body with the other.

Just like the attitude of the chicken mother-in-law changed,

The young man in front of her, who used to be a gentleman and talked friendly as a junior, also had a change of attitude.Turned into a pure butcher to end her life prematurely.

Before she died, the chicken mother-in-law continued to stare at the black heart between her ribs.

Two black strips suspected to be arms are shaking, looking very happy,
The mouth on the surface of the heart was greedy for saliva, and at the same time, the last sentence that the chicken mother heard in her life came out.

"Finally, I can eat chicken-flavored grape skewers in advance... so happy, so happy!"
