Chapter 165 Our village chief is the most hospitable!
On both sides of the street, weeds and trees interweave to create a desolate scene full of green.

They grow wildly in the deserted world, as if telling a forgotten sorrow.

Cheng Long appeared quietly on the street, and frowned when he saw the bleak scene in front of him.

"What the hell is this place?"

"Why is there no one?"

As soon as he thought about it, a powerful spiritual consciousness like a tsunami poured out in all directions.

In an instant, all people and things within a radius of ten miles were in sight.

This desolate and dilapidated city is not actually empty, but people are hiding in dark corners. These people, who can be called "people", are all naked and wearing tattered clothes, like zombies.

Their breathing frequency is very high, and their breathing is very rapid, as if they have some disease. They may suffocate to death at any time due to air reversal and inability to breathe.

"So he was hiding in the house. No wonder there was no one on the street."

Cheng Long discovered these zombie-like people gathering in large numbers in dark corners, and the title of a movie instantly popped up in his mind.

--"I am a legend"!
"It can't be that bad, if we come to the Night Demon World, there will be no fun at all!"

Cheng Long sighed and walked aimlessly on the empty street. The surroundings were desolate with only weeds and trees growing tenaciously. There was an unspeakable loneliness in his heart.

Suddenly—

He stopped suddenly.

"If I remember correctly, the protagonist of the Night Demon world, Nefer, successfully developed an antidote vaccine at the end of the film, which can restore the Night Demon's sanity and turn him into a new human being."

"This is a great merit!"

"Never seems to live in Manhattan, I have to go over there and get involved..."

Cheng Long, who missed the customs of the other world and couldn't wait to start the second copy journey, became so excited that he couldn't control himself after he had a goal.

But it’s understandable.

Helping Nefer develop an antidote vaccine, healing the remaining night demons with instincts, allowing them to regain their sanity and transform into new humans with strength, speed, and physique far superior to ordinary people, will surely earn you a huge amount of merit.

This is much better than killing people or monsters.

"Since the Night Demons have a chance to transform into new humans, wouldn't it be killing innocent people if I kill them now?"

"Oh~~ Why think so much? Just don't provoke the Night Demons. Those Night Demons who dare to provoke me will be killed without mercy."

Cheng Long now is not a indecisive person.

As long as he doesn't actively hunt night demons, there is no such thing as being tainted by karma.

In fact, it’s not a big deal if you’re occasionally contaminated by karma.

Having accumulated so much merit, can’t I squander it?
……

"No way!"

"Why are there so many Chinese billboards? Isn't this Chinatown?"

After a while, Cheng Long, who was releasing his spiritual sense from time to time to search for survivors, suddenly noticed that the billboards on both sides of the street were all in Chinese, and he was completely numb.

He hadn't noticed these details before. The person who turned into a night demon looked more like a zombie, so he didn't observe carefully.

It was not until this moment that Cheng Long realized that the place he had landed was not North America, but China on the other side of the ocean.

"It's making trouble!"

"I'm going there to collect merits, not to seek Buddhist scriptures in the West. Is it necessary to arrange such a long journey?"

The more Cheng Long thought about it, the angrier he got. If it were three years after the outbreak of the Night Devil virus, by the time he arrived in Manhattan, New York, Naif would have already developed a vaccine.

But what if he has it?
He could only rush to the dock, choose a ship that could cross the ocean, prepare fuel, and rush to Manhattan as soon as possible. If that didn't work, he would kill a few Night Demons before leaving.

Now that we're here, it would be a waste if we don't leave behind a few corpses.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a shipping container suddenly fell onto the street.

After opening the door.

A hardcore off-road vehicle suddenly came into view.

Behind the car were a wide variety of daily necessities, piled together in boxes. Among these daily necessities were five motorcycles of different models.

"It's just you."

There were abandoned vehicles everywhere on the street, which was not suitable for driving an off-road vehicle, so Cheng Long chose a motorcycle for transportation.

Mr. Cheng, who was depressed because the landing site was too far away, stepped on the accelerator and sped along the deserted streets, looking at the unique city scenery. His mood gradually improved.

In the Night Demon world that has been shut down for who knows how many years, there is no industrial pollution and no man-made garbage. Even in the center of the city, the air is fresh.

Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in the Night Demon world is very weak, far less abundant than in the Hong Kong variety show world.

Relying on a nerve reaction speed that is several times faster than that of a cat, Cheng Long can cross it at a speed of 150 miles per hour no matter how bad the road conditions ahead are.

Soon, he drove out of the deserted city and into the suburbs.

About twenty minutes later.

A village appeared in front of us, and the roadside vegetable fields were full of fruits and vegetables.

Purple eggplants, red peppers, yellow corn, all kinds of colors intertwined together like a colorful painting. Every vegetable and fruit is plump and full of vitality. It is obviously not food that grows naturally, but is artificially cultivated.

The majestic divine consciousness poured out in droves... As expected, this village not only had survivors, but also more than a dozen newborn babies and several young and beautiful mothers who were sitting on stools feeding their babies.

A dozen half-grown children were chasing and playing in the fields behind the village. Their laughter echoed in this bleak and silent night world, giving people an extremely strong sense of separation.

When watching the movie "I Am Legend", Jackie Chan's biggest feeling was loneliness.

A man and a dog live in a deserted city full of hidden dangers. The loneliness left alone in the world can drive a person crazy.

Whenever night falls, the protagonist rushes back home, covers the doors and windows with heavy iron plates, and dares not make any sound.

Of those who were infected with the virus and became night demons, only a very small number could regain their sanity. Most night demons were ferocious "beasts" that did not distinguish between good and evil. After dark, the entire world became their hunting ground. The night demons had contributed to the desolation of the city.

but……

The tranquility and peace, the carefree children and the young mother happily feeding her baby are just the surface of this village.

Under Cheng Long's powerful spiritual awareness, the evil of human nature in the darkness has nowhere to hide.

In the center of the village, there are three residential buildings in a triangular shape, surrounded by a six-meter-high wall. The walls are covered with tiles inside and outside, making it extremely difficult to climb with bare hands.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The point is that in one of the villas, there were dozens of women who were naked and wearing anklets, each of them was covered with scars. There were also dozens of skinny men who were locked in iron cages like chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered.

Inside the other two residential buildings, there was a completely different scene.

The men ate big chunks of meat and drank wine with big gulps, while the women, with their upper bodies naked, snuggled in the arms of the men. From the women's dull expressions, it can be seen that they have long been accustomed to it.

It is also worth mentioning that there are no elderly people in this seemingly peaceful village.

There weren't even any men over forty.

Whether it was the man locked in the cage or the man seeking pleasure and drinking, they were all young men in their twenties or thirties, strong and healthy.

"Rumble..."

The roar of the track-level motorcycle caught the attention of several mothers.

They walked out of the room at the same time, holding their adorable children.

Cheng Long parked the car on the side of the road, looked at the mothers for a moment, and smiled: "When I saw you, I thought I had returned to the time before the disaster. Your village is quiet and peaceful, and full of vitality everywhere. It is simply the Garden of Eden in my dreams."

“Since this is the Garden of Eden in your dreams, then just stay. Our village chief is the most hospitable. As long as you are willing to contribute to our village, he will arrange accommodation and food for you and let you feel the warmth of home…” One of the young mothers with a round face and a large nutrition cabin responded with a smile.

She was still feeding the child, not shying away from it at all.

"Is it really possible?" Cheng Long's eyes lit up.

The round-faced mother smiled and said, "Of course, many people in our village are like you, fleeing here, and I am one of them."

"And I."

"Me too……"

The other two young mothers followed suit.

The three of them were all around twenty years old and looked very young.

"Then I'll have to trouble you sisters to lead the way. If it's appropriate, I think I'll stay." If the survivors of this village unite and work together to survive, Cheng Long might step on the gas and pass through this village.

But who made him a demon cultivator who was cultivating merits?

If you encounter injustice, you must intervene.

"Come with me!"

The round-faced mother, who was quite good-looking, smiled at Cheng Long. However, when she turned around, there was a struggle in her eyes, as if she had something to hide.

When they were halfway there, the round-faced mother saw that the other two hadn't caught up, so she immediately came up to Cheng Long and whispered, "Don't eat or drink when you meet the village chief. If he invites you to stay, just pretend to agree and then find a chance to leave. Don't ask why. Just do as I say if you want to stay."

"what's your name?"

"I told you not to ask..."

The round-faced mother didn't react for a moment. Halfway through her speech, she realized that Cheng Long was not asking why, but her name.

"My name is Yuanyuan..." Yuanyuan said as she walked, "I can't say too much. Remember, when you get to the village chief's house, don't eat."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Cheng Long nodded.

It can be seen that the girl did not want to harm anyone, but had to lead the way for some reasons. He guessed that if Yuanyuan had behaved abnormally just now and was seen by the other two, she would probably have been punished.

Giving advice in a place where no one is around is already the limit that Yuanyuan can do.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Yuanyuan, who had fed his child, pulled up his collar, then walked to a place similar to a security booth and said to the people inside: "Brother Niu, the person behind is a survivor who passed by our village. I'm bringing him to see the village chief."

"Is he the only one?"

"Yes, just one."

The gatekeeper called Brother Niu looked him up and down and found that Cheng Long's skin was whiter than a woman's and he was also handsome. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"go in!"

Brother Niu opened a gate, revealing a passage that was wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Come here quickly."

Yuanyuan turned around and waved at Cheng Long.
