PFC Chapter 203 Welcome to the Village, Boy
Chapter 203 Welcome to the Village, Boy
The battle was over. Even after a long period of training, both of them were exhausted after this battle.
Taking advantage of this short period of respite, they split up and gave every room here a rough search.
After all, since the world-famous Remington M870 shotgun can be found in the village, there should be more weapons and ammunition.
After searching the entire village, they found that the village was so poor that the only thing left was... gems! ?
Emeralds, amethysts, rubies, sapphires, yellow diamonds, and all kinds of jewelry inlaid with gemstones.
Almost every household here has various types of rare gems. Apart from that, the village is really poor.
This was the first time for these two people to see such strange things in their lives!
But with a righteous heart, they refused to take any...even though they had killed so many villagers.
When they reunited after the search, they counted the supplies:
9mm pistol bullets, less than 30 rounds for two people in total; 12-gauge buckshot, 4 rounds.
In addition, there is the M9 bayonet that I carry with me, and the axe and hatchet that I just picked up...
The two couldn't help but regret why they didn't bring more ammunition when they set out.
Elliot picked up the chainsaw of the first chainsaw man that Leon had killed. Although there was not much fuel in it, it should be able to last for a while.
Beep, beep—
As Leon and Elliot's earphones rang, news finally came from liaison officer Hannigan:
"The Vulture team has found a way to the lake."
"First, find a giant windmill. It's just northwest of the village. The road is just past the windmill."
"——Windmill...? Got it."
Without further ado, the two immediately set off to the northwest of the village, where they had just met the first chainsaw man.
When they pushed open the door, they saw the "giant windmill" that Hannigan had mentioned.
"There it is," Leon said to himself.
There are pigs, cows, and chickens here, and it seems to be a farm; but because of the bell just now, there is no villager to be seen in the entire farm.
When passing by a cowshed, the two saw a blue glass badge with the "Ж" logo hanging on the beam, but they ignored it.
All the way to the northernmost part of the farm, at the base of the giant windmill.
There was a suspension bridge ahead, with an iron grille blocking the way; there was also a conspicuous notice posted on the wall beside it:
----
Blue Badge of Destruction
God, can someone please destroy the blue badges that the cultists are hanging everywhere?!
Reward: 3 Spinels
Note: Please find the merchant in the village to exchange the reward
----
After reading the notice, the two looked at each other: they just vaguely guessed that this symbol should be the villagers' belief or something like that, but they never thought that it was actually the masterpiece of cultists!
This village...is it controlled by a cult?
But they had no time to care about all that. The most urgent thing was to find Ashley by the lake and take her home.
Fortunately, there was a control switch inside the giant windmill next to it, and Leon went in and opened the gate.
After crossing the suspension bridge, the two came straight to an independent wooden house.
The double wooden doors leading into the cabin's courtyard were locked. They had seen this on the topographic map in the hunter's cabin before, and this did not seem to be the correct route.
After looking around, the sharp-eyed Leon discovered that there was a small road blocked by a wooden four-wheeled cart if he turned right after coming across the suspension bridge.
The "LAGO" (Spanish: Lake) sign erected next to it also confirms that this is the correct route.
There was also a dismembered cow carcass on the car, and a foul odor filled the air.
The two of them worked together to push the "ox cart" away, and went down along the path. After passing through a mountain tunnel, they finally arrived at the lake.
Similarly, this place looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.
There were all kinds of dilapidated stone houses without windows and roofs. Even the lakeside was piled with many broken wooden boats, and animal traps were rampant on the ground.
There seems to be a cave under the rock on the far left, and the entrance is blocked by an iron fence and an iron door, with the same insect-shaped "Ж" mark on it as the one in the village square.
Carefully avoiding the traps on the ground, the two followed the topographic map in their memory and came to the house that was crossed out on the map.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-
They didn't know what was going on in the room. Even from a distance, they could hear a sound like someone knocking on the floor.
"Is this the place?" Leon said to himself.
There was a brass lock on the gate, so Elliot simply started the chainsaw and removed the lock.
After pushing the door open and entering the house, Elliot strode directly into the house. When he was about to enter the inner hall, he was pulled back by Leon.
Ashley should be here. He was wondering why Leon pulled him, but he saw the latter pointing to the corner ahead.
It was a C2 door-breaking explosive covered with dark brown electrical tape and placed at the very bottom of the wall, almost blending into the wall.
When Elliot saw this thing, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
If this kind of one-way door-breaking explosive is accidentally triggered, at best the person's legs will be blown off, at worst the person will fly up into the air.
I thought there were only some villagers who were suspected to be controlled by cultists, but I never thought that someone could set up such a sinister trap.
I was careless, there are experts out there!
After carefully dismantling the bomb, we found out there was a living room behind it and the knocking sound came from behind a cabinet.
The two were about to move the cabinet away when they found what seemed to be a notebook on the ground.
Unlike most of the dusty objects in the room, the notebook looked brand new and had obviously been carefully maintained.
The two raised their eyebrows at this strange clue, and Leon leaned over to pick it up and check:
----
Three years ago, my baby daughter passed away just after giving birth to a son.
In the blink of an eye, several years passed and the child grew up a lot.
He was a child who was curious about everything and wanted to learn all kinds of knowledge; he even wanted to go hunting with me, so I had to watch him all the time.
Whenever we walked in the forest, he would pester me to tell him stories, and he was particularly fond of Don Quixote.
Although he is still young, the child is intelligent and insightful beyond his years. If he were not trapped in this remote place, he might become a scholar.
……
I'm old and confused, and I'm sure I shot the wolf through the head, but it pounced on me anyway.
I returned to the cabin, but the wound was swollen and discolored, and I couldn't bear to see my grandson's worried eyes.
My body won't obey me, I can even hear voices talking in my head, am I...going crazy?
I can't just die like this, what will happen to him if I die?
God, please bless him!
----
This seems to be the diary of an old man, recording many stories about him and his grandson.
On the fireplace nearby was a dusty photo frame. In the photo, a shrewd man with a mustache was sitting upright, and next to him was a little boy who looked very smart.
I guess they are the "grandson and grandfather" in the diary.
Elliot shook his head: "Alas, poor old man."
After putting away the diary, the two of them worked together to push the cabinet open, revealing a secret passage at the back.
In fact, it can’t be considered a secret passage. This should have been a room originally, but it was blocked by cabinets.
A villager was lying on the ground with an axe in his hand, hitting the floor hard with the back of the axe.
After a smooth journey, Leon saw an "enemy" after a long time. He walked up to him without hesitation and stabbed him in the back of the head.
The place he knocked turned out to be a tunnel entrance blocked by wooden boards. The two men used axes to remove the wooden boards and entered the tunnel together.
Soon, they found a sack of cricket pupae in the tunnel.
Leon walked forward and opened the sack, revealing a man with curly hair and an untidy beard and his mouth sealed with tape.
The flashlight shone directly on Louis' face, and Leon tore off the tape on his mouth.
"That really hurts, you know?" Louis gritted his teeth.
Leon responded: "It looks like you have a lot to say."
"You're right, little brother...By the way, did you bring any cigarettes? Or cigars will do?"
Finally meeting a normal person, Elliot was about to take out the cigarette he had asked the young policeman for, but Leon simply shook his head:
"Smoke less. Smoking harms people."
"——Oh, forget it, just help me untie it first."
As he said this, Louis was about to turn over and let Leon and Elliot help him untie the restraints, but he saw a dark shadow emerging from behind them.
"Fuck! Why is he here!?"
The two who heard the loud footsteps behind them turned around at the same time and saw an old man with a goatee who was at least 2 meters tall, wearing a leather coat and a round hat.
The two men raised their guns at the same time: "Who are you? Stand there and don't move!"
The next moment, the old man knocked the guns out of the hands of the two men at the same time, and before they could react, he picked up the two men at the same time, one with each hand, and threw them back.
Boom boom!
Leon, who had smashed a lot of debris, fainted on the spot; Elliot was in so much pain that his whole body felt like it was falling apart, and he lost the ability to resist.
Louis on the other end couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned his head away.
Elliot, who was still conscious, could only watch as the old man walked up to him and Leon and took out a syringe from his pocket.
There was a yellow, egg-like substance inside the syringe; the old man looked at Leon and then at Elliott.
After a moment's hesitation, he injected the eggs into the unconscious Leon's body, and turned to Elliot and said:
"Welcome to the family, son." (Welcome to this big family/Welcome to be a member of our family, kid)
After saying that, the old man stepped on Elliot's face, causing him to faint from the pain.
Several villagers then jumped down from the tunnel entrance.
The old man picked up Leon and Elliot with both hands, and the villagers carried Louis, and the group quickly left the place.
