Chapter 272 The enemy of my enemy is my friend
A large orange cat was staring intently at them.
If they hadn't looked closely, Chen Youdao and the others would have thought that the enormous body was a tiger!
Chen Youdao, Chen Hang, and the others stood there, their mouths agape.
They dared not make any movement, and even forgot to breathe.
They were terrified that the orange cat would pounce on them and eat them all up!
Just as the group was filled with terror, a faint voice rang out.
"You guys... you must all be from Chenjiayu, right?"
Chen Youdao and the others were startled, only then noticing that behind the orange cat stood a man and a woman.
This couple is none other than Su Chen and Zhao Yue.
"Ah...we are!"
Chen Youdao snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded.
"Target type: ordinary human male."
Combat strength rating: Weak.
"Target type: ordinary human male."
Combat strength rating: Weak.
"..."
Su Chen used scanning tests on all of these villagers.
They discovered that Chen Youdao and the others were just ordinary survivors!
As Chen Laoda had previously explained, all the able-bodied men in Chenjiayu had become evolved beings with the help of the village guards.
These people are not evolved beings; they appear to be from Shangchen Village and Xiachen Village.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes and asked softly,
"Are you from Shangchen Village and Xiachen Village?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Youdao was taken aback.
How did this young man in front of me know that?
"Yes, I am the village chief of Shangchen Village, and he is the village chief of Xiachen Village..."
Chen Youdao quickly explained.
"What are you doing?"
Su Chen asked.
Chen Youdao dared not hide anything, so he told the story of Chen Ada and the others' disappearance.
"I see……"
Su Chen nodded slightly.
"You don't need to look anymore, I've already killed all five of them!"
Su Chen's sudden appearance near Chenjiayu, accompanied by such a huge orange cat, was truly strange.
They had already suspected that Su Chen had killed the five Chen brothers!
But when Su Chen actually admitted it, Chen Youdao, Chen Hang, and the others couldn't help but gasp in shock.
It should be noted that Chen Ada and the other four were all evolved beings.
Back in the village, they were incredibly domineering because they had many brothers!
But unexpectedly, he would die at the hands of this young man in front of him!
But if even Chen Ada was killed by Su Chen, then wouldn't ordinary people like them be doomed?
Thinking of this, their legs went weak, and some even burst into tears!
"Alright, you don't need to be afraid!"
Su Chen saw through their thoughts and said calmly,
"I won't kill you, but don't even think about going back to the village anytime soon!"
These villagers did not have any ill intentions towards Su Chen.
Su Chen isn't some kind of serial killer, there's no need for him to kill them!
Hearing his words, Chen Youdao and the others were slightly relieved!
Just then, Chen Hang, who had been silent all along, suddenly mustered up his courage and spoke up.
"Um... Boss!"
"Is something wrong?"
Su Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at Chen Hang.
Do you have a grudge against the people of Chenjiayu?
Chen Hang tentatively explored the tunnel.
Upon hearing this, Chen Youdao paused for a moment, then understood his thoughts!
"I wouldn't say we have a grudge, so what's wrong?"
"If you want to deal with those people from Chenjiayu, we might be able to help you!"
Su Chen immediately became interested and chuckled.
"Chenjiayu provides you with food and lodging and protects your safety, so why are you helping us?"
"That's all nonsense! They're treating the people from our two villages like pigs!"
Chen Hang said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with hatred!
Before the apocalypse, the living standards of the three villages were actually not that different.
Thanks to their stored food, the villagers of Shangchen Village and Xiachen Village lived relatively comfortably during the apocalypse.
However, their peaceful days were shattered by the sudden appearance of zombies.
Unlike Chenjiayu, Shangchen Village and Xiachen Village do not have village soldiers.
They were no match for the zombies that suddenly appeared.
Just then, Chen Gang, the village chief of Chenjiayu, extended a helping hand to them.
He promised to help the villagers of the two villages and allow them to move into Chenjiayu.
In Chen Youdao and Chen Hang's view, Chenjiayu was located in a dangerous place and had a large number of hunting rifles and evolved beings.
Without much thought, the two led the villagers to settle in Chenjiayu.
Little did they know that in the apocalypse, the most treacherous thing is the human heart!
After moving into Chenjiayu, Chen Gang immediately turned against him.
He demanded that the villagers of both villages hand over all their supplies.
If they disobeyed in the slightest, the village soldiers would beat and kick them!
Chen Youdao, Chen Hang, and the others had no choice but to do as Chen Gang instructed.
Fortunately, Chen Gang did not go too far with the villagers of the two villages.
Although his attitude was usually a bit harsh, he made sure to provide three meals a day!
If things continue like this, Chen Youdao and Chen Hang won't say anything.
However, the problem lies with the village guardians of Chenjiayu!
"...According to Chen Gang, the village guardians need to eat people regularly, otherwise they will go berserk and attack humans at will!"
Chen Youdao said with a wry smile.
"But didn't your people capture a lot of survivors when they swept through the county town?"
Su Chen asked.
"Yes, but I never expected the village guards' appetites to grow so large!"
Chen Hang said bitterly,
"It turns out that it was enough to feed four or five people a month."
"Later on, we needed seven or eight, or even ten, people every month!"
"Even now, he eats two people every five days!"
"Boss, do you think anyone could stand this?"
Su Chen nodded in deep agreement.
If this trend continues, the village guards will probably have to eat several people every day!
"The captured survivors have been eaten clean!"
Chen Youdao's expression was grave, and he sighed.
"Chen Gang set his sights on the villagers of our two villages!"
"He made our two villages take turns selecting offerings to present to the village guardian!"
"If you don't comply, we will take action by force!"
"Tell me, how can we just swallow our anger?"
Hearing this, Su Chen completely understood!
The reason why Chengang kept the people from the two villages was to offer them as sacrifices to the village guardians.
Chen Youdao and Chen Hang were unwilling to be oppressed like this.
Just then, I appeared, and they decided to help me resist Chenjiayu!
"What do you think, sir?"
Chen Hang looked at Su Chen with anticipation.
If Su Chen refuses to help them, they will have no choice but to return to the village and continue to endure Chen Gang's oppression.
Until one day, it was offered as food to the village guardians!
"can!"
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Chen Youdao and Chen Hang are familiar with the situation in Chenjiayu, which is perfect for helping Su Chen.
Upon hearing Su Chen's immediate agreement, Chen Youdao and the others couldn't help but show their delight!
