The bus slowly drove toward the village.

Even before entering the village, Bai Xiqin saw an elderly man with a backpack walking out of the village from afar.

The old man seemed to have difficulty walking, stopping and going, and he held a sickle in his hand.

From time to time, he bent down to scrape the lush wild grass and put some wild vegetables into his backpack.

This old man looked somewhat hunched, with the complexion characteristic of a farmer, clearly a simple and honest farmer.

But it was indeed strange that he walked out of this mysterious village.

A normal person coming out of such a strange village makes it even more peculiar.

"Does he have any rotten aura on him?" Bai Xiqin looked down and asked Water Python, then opened a gap in the window for it.

The Zombie King looks just like a human on the outside, making it hard to tell, so relying on Water Python’s nose seems more reliable.

Water Python sniffed earnestly, then shook its head with certainty.

"No, Master, he’s a human, but he seems to often interact with monsters. His body carries a rotten smell!" Water Python said.

"Is it another village like Taovillage?" Bai Xiqin was somewhat surprised.

Humans and zombies should be at odds, yet such a village as Taovillage emerged.

Bai Xiqin was seeing for the first time a life mode where humans and zombies could coexist peacefully.

Could there be a second one now?

And the emergence of such a village is simple: a Zombie King appears in the village who happens not to be bloodthirsty and can restrain its instincts.

Do all Zombie Kings have such awareness?

Is the bloodthirsty instinct of zombies so easy to control?

It hardly seems possible.

Bai Xiqin cautiously glanced at the village and whispered, "Stop the car later, keep a distance from the elderly man, don’t get too close!"

"Okay!"

Bai Yifan was somewhat afraid, but hearing Water Python say the old man was human, he was no longer scared.

But he still followed Bai Xiqin’s advice and hit the brakes long before getting close to the old man.

"Grandpa, can you tell us where this is? We’re just passing through, and we’ve run out of water. Could we go in to fetch some water?"

Bai Xiqin’s face showed a gentle smile, and she smiled at the somewhat hunched elderly man ahead.

In the post-apocalyptic world, clean water is precious to urban people.

In rural areas, it’s not so precious; almost every household has a well, and the underground water is still clean.

But there are many mutant animals in the countryside. If you accidentally encounter a group of mutant rats or other social mutant animals, it’s a disaster. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Therefore, safety bases are generally still established in towns.

Some people do draw water from rural to urban areas, but the risks of the journey are too great, and it’s more convenient and safer to have a Water Ability User.

Thus, all safety bases particularly welcome Water Ability Users to join, offering generous treatment.

The hunched elderly man was stunned, looking at the bus in front of him, his gaze falling on Bai Xiqin’s face.

Because of the special glass on the bus, the interior couldn’t be seen from the outside, and he could only see Bai Xiqin poking her head out of the window, smiling at him.

His first reaction was that the girl was very young, probably of school age, looking harmless like a little girl.

At such an age, she shouldn’t be in this place.

He felt a bit melancholic, thinking if the world hadn’t come to an end, the girl would probably have been like his son, studying well, going to a good university, and having a good job.

"This is Sheep Village, there’s no clean water here. You’d better leave quickly!"

The elderly man hoarsely shook his head at Bai Xiqin, then walked onto the road, making a gesture of not letting them pass.

The elderly man’s face was shriveled, and he was thin.

Like most elderly survivors, he hadn’t had a proper retirement in the post-apocalyptic world.

Ordinary elderly survivors without superpowers can only rely on their children or a respectful safety base to survive in the post-apocalyptic world.

But such safety bases hardly exist.

Surviving in the post-apocalyptic world depends on strength and superpowers; there’s no safety base solely for benevolence and treating the elderly well.

Even Superpower Users find it hard to fill their bellies, so who would think of treating an elderly person well?

"But we really have no water, please let us go fetch some water!"

Bai Xiqin carefully examined the elderly man ahead, sensing a faint worry in his eyes.

Bai Xiqin wasn’t too concerned, as in the post-apocalyptic world, such expressions weren’t significant, and many people’s eyes were filled with despair.

"No, there’s not much water in the village either; better find another village!"

The elderly man’s voice carried a hint of stubbornness; to express his unwillingness to let the bus in, he picked up the sickle and gestured threateningly at the bus.

However, his frail arm waving lacked any real threat, appearing rather humorous.

But his steadfast gaze refused the Bai Family entry into the village.

The sky gradually darkened, the sun’s afterglow falling on the elderly man, appearing as if he were a sculpture standing for a long time.

"Sorry, Grandpa, but we really need to go fetch water. We’ll be out once we get it."

Bai Xiqin didn’t sense malice from the elderly man before her; the village contained zombies’ flesh, yet the elderly man was human.

This village was even stranger than Taovillage.

But Wang Liu and the two elders might be inside; the village definitely needed to be entered.

Bai Xiqin raised her hand, and the elderly man blocking the road was uncontrollably "floated" aside, then steadily stood on the roadside.

Bai Yifan quickly took advantage of the elderly man’s distraction and drove the bus into the village.

"Hey! Don’t go in! There are zombies inside!"

The elderly man looked shocked at where he had stood just now, then at where he was now.

This girl is a Superpower User!

Realizing this, the elderly man hurriedly chased the bus, yelling loudly, "Come out quickly! It’s dangerous inside! Don’t go in!"

The elderly man’s voice was filled with profound sorrow, unsure whether he was worried about the people in the bus or the "people" in the village.

Bai Xiqin glanced at the panicked elderly man in the rearview mirror, feeling a hint of surprise.

Could it be here like Taovillage, where humans and zombies coexist, hence the elderly man worries that Superpower Users entering the village would harm the zombies?

No!

Bai Xiqin immediately thought Wang Liu and the two elders had been captured here, so it couldn’t be peaceful coexistence between humans and zombies.

Yet seeing the elderly man freely coming in and out puzzled Bai Xiqin.

If they don’t coexist peacefully, how could this elderly man freely enter and exit?

Looks like only entering the village will yield answers.

Soon, the blue and white bus entered the village.

On both sides of every road were planted many apricot trees, besides apricot trees, each house’s courtyard also had a lot of spinach planted in front.

Yes, it was spinach.

Looking at it all at once, down the road, besides apricot trees, there was spinach.

"Why do Sheep Village people love spinach so much?"

Bai Zhengxuan glanced at the green roadside and strained his eyes to look into the courtyards.

Unfortunately, every household had tightly closed doors, no clues of the scenes inside.

"Spinach can replenish blood."

Liu Jing casually said.
