Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Saving People

Since everything in the house was well-preserved, it meant that there were definitely people in the house. The golden light that had shined during the time halt had protected both humans and buildings.

Otherwise, most humans would not have survived 500 years without changing.

Wei Huo rushed over with his team. After walking for half an hour, Wei Huo and the others saw three lonely buildings.

They were beautiful houses in a new village. One of the houses had two stories, while the other two had three stories. There were also solar water heaters on top of the house. They could see the white water pipes connected from top to bottom. They could also see tiled walls.

The three buildings stood out in the dense jungle.

Xiao Bin, who was obviously surprised, said in shock, “This… Could even buildings have transmigrated? Could the people from this world have discovered that the buildings had disappeared?”

Soon, they saw several collapsed bungalows. The broken brick houses were occupied by plants and vines, and only the ruins of the walls were left. They even saw broken cement floors that were covered in moss. Wild grass and mutated dandelions grew out of the cracked buildings, and a tree even grew out of the cement floor. The cement floor was lifted, but there was nowhere to place it.

A group of people approached the ruins, where there were three well-preserved buildings. After taking a few steps, Wei Huo suddenly said, “Everyone stop and guard your surroundings!”

Everyone’s nerves were tense, and faint sounds were coming from the village. Soon, two giant hyenas jumped out of the forest. One of the hyenas had half a human corpse in its mouth, while the other hyena had come to snatch the maimed corpse.

The two hyenas jumped out of the jungle and saw Wei Huo and the Tree-Man behind him.

The two Epic-ranked creatures instantly stopped moving. They stabilized their bodies and kept glancing left and right. Their mouths were slightly open. With a sound, half of the corpse fell to the ground and rolled down a slope. It was a human corpse without a head, half a body, and no organs.

Wei Huo’s expression remained the same, but Xiao Bin and the others turned pale. They had seen corpses before and had witnessed really bloody scenes. As a medical intern, Mo Guyun had naturally seen such things as well. However, none of them had ever seen a corpse that had been eaten by hyenas and reached this state.

They felt disgust, faint fear, and boundless anger!

Wei Huo said, “Kill them!”

Wei Sha instantly charged forward. The two bronze short swords emitted light and drew a beautiful arc. One of the hyenas had its head cut off before it could even react. The other hyena did not scream in fear or show any sadness. Instead, it turned around and ran without hesitation!

The hyena jumped into the bushes, but Wei Sha chased after it. Wei Huo and the others followed them closely. They rushed into the bushes and saw a meadow.

It was a patch of ground that had been dyed red with blood. Upon entering this place, everyone immediately smelled a pungent scent of blood. Corpses, organs, skulls, and bones were everywhere.

On the grassland, seven to eight hyenas were still eating. They lifted their heads, and blood trickled down the corners of their mouths. The stench of hyenas mixed with the scent of blood made them want to vomit on the spot.

At that moment, Wei Sha charged forward. Probably because they felt that there were too many of them, the hyenas immediately launched a counterattack. However, this counterattack only lasted for a second. One second later, the three hyenas attempting to counterattack were slaughtered by Wei Sha.

At the same time, the Tree-Man attacked. He extended his claws and grabbed a hyena that wanted to escape. The hyena was about four to five times the size of a hyena before the time halt, but it was like a puppy in the hands of the Tree-Man. The Tree-Man opened his mouth and shoved the hyena into it. Without even listening to the hyena’s cries, he closed his jaw.

Ka-cha!

Everyone could hear the sound of bones breaking.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The Tree-Man started chewing. The sound of bones breaking and blood splattering could be heard from the bark. It was terrifying, but Xiao Bin and the others felt relieved.

He was just returning the favor.

There were a total of eight hyenas. Except for the one that was eaten by the Tree-Man, the others were all killed by Wei Sha. When she returned, a drop of blood was stuck on her pretty face, making her look even more murderous.

Wei Huo did not stay any longer. He approached one of the small bungalows and shouted, “Split up and search the other two buildings. See if there are any humans left. Mo Guyun, follow me!”

After saying that, Wei Huo used his hands to tear open the iron gate in front of him. He walked into the bungalow and headed straight for the second floor.

There were two rooms on the second floor, but Wei Huo walked straight to the innermost one. He opened a hole in the door and tore it open with his bare hands.

The room was the one Wei Huo had used the 8x scope to observe. He stayed in for over 10 seconds and walked out with a 10-year-old girl.

The girl’s face was pale, and her lips were cracked. She was expressionless and she was not moving. Her eyes were wide open. There was no fear, sorrow, or joy in them. She…

Mo Guyun quickly took the child from Wei Huo’s hands. The child was not dead yet. She was warm, she had a heartbeat, and she was not unconscious. She even turned her pitch-black eyes to observe Wei Huo and Mo Guyun. However, she did not even have the strength to open her mouth or move her body. It seemed like she wanted to say thank you, save me, or water.

She opened her mouth but could not say anything.

She was too weak!

“I’ll leave her to you!” Wei Huo handed the child over to Mo Guyun and turned around to enter the room. When he came out again, a 14-year-old young man who could fall down at any moment swayed behind him. The young man had a green telescope around his neck. On the sofa in the room, Wei Huo found a mirror and some eyeglasses. It seemed like the boy had sent him a message with the light to save his life.

“Thank you.” The young man thanked him in a hoarse voice. He was very strong. He did not need Wei Huo to carry him, much less to support him. He just lowered his head and walked out stubbornly by using his own strength.

As she watched this scene, Mo Guyun’s eyes turned moist. She said, “What a good child…”

However, Wei Huo interrupted her. “The foundation of this house is not stable. Retreat immediately. When Xiao Bin and the others return, they will help you rescue the survivors!”

Upon hearing that, Mo Guyun did not dare stay any longer. She carried the girl as she ran down the stairs. The young man followed her stubbornly. He looked exhausted, and his lips were cracked. Every step he took seemed difficult yet firm.
