Chapter 106 Cooperation and Passive Cooperation

The underground cave is a [secret room] that is located on a higher ground and needs to be reached through several narrow paths.

 This is the girl’s home,

The bonfire made of wood is burning, making a sound like the cracking of joints, and some wood will even squirm in the flames, like the limbs of a living person.

As for the source of the 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 did its best to illuminate the entire secret room of the grotto.

The water permeated by the carbonate layer will drip along the stalactites of different lengths, and is 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 campfire. The pig head mask cut open by the claws was temporarily put aside.

 “Besides drinking water, what do you usually eat?”

 “I eat this most of the time…”

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

Not to mention, even though there was some distance, Yi Chen could smell the aroma of meat from the roasted branches.

The girl asked with a smile, "You think I'm going to eat the 'refugees' in the cave, right?"

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

“I don’t know much about the value of utilization. I occasionally hear people outside the well mouth saying words like ‘refugees’, and then I throw them down.

 They basically have no strength and are almost dead. Either choose to float in the lake, or use your last strength to climb to the shore and wait for death.

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

These branches are terrible to eat, but they keep me alive.

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

 Speaking of this, the girl was so greedy that she drooled. She seemed to have not caught a chicken for a long time.

 “How did you get down there?”

“I don’t remember it very clearly. It seems that I have been down there since I can remember. Maybe my parents sent me down here to protect me from bad people.”

 “Aren’t your parents coming down?”

 “No, I’ve always been the only one...”

Yi Chen's eyes suddenly changed, catching a rather obvious contradiction.

“Wait a minute! You said before that your mother told you that the ‘gentlemen’ who help the village are 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 of information about your parents and even the village? "

When Yi Chen asked this question, the girl looked confused. At the same time, she bent her right leg and scratched her head with her big toe.

Then he looked at Yi Chen with a very serious expression:

“You are right~ I also feel very strange. Even though I have been down there all the time, there are memories of my parents and the village in my brain. I even remember clearly some of the things my mother said to me.

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

“It may have something to do with your long stay here... caused by overlapping and missing memories.”

"Oh~" The girl Leni looked like she didn't understand, and then she pulled out two burning sticks, gnawed one herself, and handed the other to Yi Chen, "Brother, do you want some?"

Yi Chen wanted to refuse, but he was indeed a little hungry. Moreover, roasted plants like this no longer smell fishy, ​​which is barely acceptable.

 After a short period of contact and conversation,

Yi Chen has determined that although the girl in front of him is a patient, she is completely harmless... She even has mature and correct views, a firm stance and independent thinking, and is more like "Patient Zero" than Granny Chicken.

And she is obviously different from Chicken Granny,

Chicken Granny lives because of "revenge", but the girl Leni simply lives here without any extra thoughts, like a blank sheet of paper that has never been saturated with the colors of the world.

“Brother, when you talk about [curing diseases], you should mean killing all the bad guys above, right?”

"That's right... this village is very sick and there is only one way to get rid of it."

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

“As much as I want to help you, I’m very afraid of going 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 to the village or come into contact with those guys wearing weird clothes, I'm willing to help."

“If I lure the village chief down, will you help me kill him?”

 “Village chief…”

 The girl scratched her head with her toes again.

"As long as you can lure the village chief down, and don't lure too many other things, I can really help you. Moreover, there is a place down here that can just trap a big guy like the village chief."

“Then let’s say it, I will be responsible for bringing the village chief down.”

 “Okay, when?”

"Now."

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

 The reason why he spent time in contact with the girl Leni also had a purpose.

 Because Leni has shown extremely high combat effectiveness and is very familiar with the underground caves under the village, as long as her position and character can be determined, we can try to cooperate.

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

 Leave aside whether weapons and clothing can be recovered,

Once the alarm in the village is triggered, all kinds of 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 cut firewood. It’s far away from the village and no one usually comes here.”

"Just wait for me near the wellhead. I will lead the village chief down as soon as possible."

 “Big brother, be careful!”

 After saying goodbye to Leni, Yi Chen decided to meet Granny Chicken again.

Since Leni said she had caught a chicken before, it means that the Chicken Granny’s residence should not be too far away.

  Put on the pig hood again (the incision has been sutured with plants), bypass the villagers patrolling in the forest, and arrive at Granny Chicken’s residence as quickly as possible.

　　Drilled into the chute inside the tree and landed in front of Granny Chicken.

Yi Chen immediately gave a detailed plan to disrupt the village and lure out the village chief.

However,

 Grandma Chicken just looked at him and didn't express any opinion on the plan.

 stroking her granddaughter’s head and blond hair that has turned into chicken feathers,

 Grandma Chicken slowly opened dozens of chicken eyes on her forehead, and her eyes gradually showed a kind of disdain, even contempt.

　　Full of disgust for the young man in front of him wearing a pig head mask and tattered shorts.

“Your operation has failed once, why should you let me risk the lives of the children to assist you? Your companions who are more powerful than you have been captured, and you want to kill the village chief alone?

Hahaha! Waste should have the consciousness of waste. "

 Grandma Chicken’s mocking voice echoed in the chicken coop area,

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

The conversation before was indeed true.

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

 Now, Jin has disappeared,

Yi Chen, who returned to the chicken coop alone and lost her equipment, was nothing to her. She was no different from the previous human teams who went to the interior of the forest to seek their own death.

“For the sake of the friendly exchanges we have had, I’ll give you a minute to leave my chicken coop...otherwise, I don’t mind turning you into chick feed.”

Hearing this, Yi Chen nodded meaningfully without replying.

  Chicken Granny’s change of attitude reminded him of the type of person he hates the most and is the most disgusting.

 Suddenly, he raised the butcher knife in his hand high and suddenly... swish!

 Blood splatter~

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

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

The old lady 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.

 At this moment... poof!

 A strong heartbeat was heard by Granny Chicken.

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

Through the gap between the bloodshot ribs, I could see a strange beating heart covered with black hair.

"What's this?"

 Just when she was doubting,

A mouth slowly opened on the surface of the dark heart, and an eyeball rolled out of its throat!

 Look at each other.

 A powerful spiritual force penetrated all of Chicken Granny’s eyes and bombarded her brain.

 When she came to her senses,

Yi Chen was already standing next to the chair, holding a **** butcher knife in one hand and squeezing the chicken embryo-like tumor that had just been removed from her body with the other.

Just like Granny Chicken’s attitude changed,

 The young man in front of her who once had a gentlemanly demeanor and used his junior status to converse in a friendly manner also changed his attitude. Turning into a pure butcher ended her life early.

Before she died, Granny Chicken continued to stare at the black heart between her ribs.

Two black bars that resembled arms were swaying, looking very happy.

The mouth on the surface of the heart was greedy for saliva, and at the same time, the last words heard by Granny Chicken were heard in her life.

“I can finally eat chicken-flavored grape skewers in advance...I’m so happy!”
