Chapter 86

The village entrance of Xiaozhou Village, like most bases, was made of various building materials mixed with hard demon bodies. A high defensive fence, a city gate, an enemy building, and an arrow tower were all there.

The broken flag on the city wall had completely become a tattered cloth strip, and it was dragged on the wall. There were no guards on the city wall, only an old man who could be described as withered on the lookout. He glanced at the newcomers who appeared at the intersection, and determined that they were humans and not demons. Only then did he withdraw his eyes and continue to take his naps.

In a tall tower in the center of the town, two strange figures stood.　　

“Some people are here again. They are really greedy to a disgusting level,” a young man said.

Standing beside the man was a demon with a human face and a bird body. The pure and beautiful girl’s face was covered with black feathers. It was merged with the huge body with black feathers. She flapped her wings and made a tender and crisp voice in the tone of a child, “There is a person who makes me very attentive.” 

The girl’s clear eyes gradually changed in color, and the entire pupil showed a strange dark red, “It’s him, the origin of all this, the owner of Holy Blood.”

“Ye Peitian? How could he come here. If it’s him, he should be able to understand our pain the most, and we will have another strong partner,” the man said softly. 

His hair flicked by the night breeze, flashing past the paleness of his face.

Chu Qianxun and her party stepped on the muddy water on the road and passed through the narrow doorway. A small town with many ancient architectural styles was exposed within the wall. On both sides of the muddy road, old-style tile-wood buildings and brick-concrete industrial-era buildings were clustered together. Green moss and vines were climbing in. The streets and eaves were full of a dark and decaying atmosphere.

A demon corpse close to the human figure was hung upside down at the gate of the city. The corpse had completely dried up, looking dark and thin. His arms with sharp claws interlaced and hugged his shoulders tightly. The face looked very similar to humans, and it was frozen before death. He wasn’t like expressionless demons but had frowned tightly in pain.

Behind him was a pair of bat-like wings. One wing tried to wrap half of his body, and the other was broken and fell behind him.

While walking into the village, they saw several corpses like the hanging demons which made them uncomfortable.

There were almost no shadows of pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, one or two pieces of waste paper floated in the air, and it was stuck on the broken window of a certain house. It was thundered by the wind. There were only a few houses in the middle of a building, with a dim light on.　　

It was almost like an abandoned dead city, without the appearance of a human.　　

The people stepped on the water on the ground, and the sound of the splash of the pace echoed on the silent street, which was particularly clear.

In the dim alley by the road, a ragged man walked out. His look was dull, his beard was sloppy, and he was covered in stains. He was a wanderer. He dragged a half-mutilated demon’s body in his hand.

“He seems like a lunatic. Should we ask him and inquire about the situation?” A member of Kong Haobo’s group asked.

The man looked up and saw the crowd, froze for a moment, and suddenly said in madness, while waving half the corpse and rushed towards the crowd, “It’s you. You bad people. Give me back my son!”

Kong Haobo stunned the homeless man who rushed to them with a sword, kicked him aside, and looked at the man rolling in the mud. 

Kong Haobo frowned.

“There are still many residents here. We should look for a house with lights on and ask about the situation,” Liu Hezheng said.

Outside a lighted house, the owner heard about the identity of the outsiders, and opened the windows; “The Institute of Shennai is to the east of the village. Go find the answers you want by yourself. Don’t bother us, outsiders.”

On the side of another house, a tall simple grass shed was built. A huge demon in the grass shed was tied by his neck by an iron chain. The huge body curled up and squatted in the corner.

Seeing the strangers approaching, the demon raised his sharp clawed arm while showing a panicked expression.

A middle-aged woman opened the door of the house and walked out. She waved her broom impatiently, “Go away outsiders. Don’t come to disturb our lives.”

Then she walked out of the door carrying a pot of food and placed the steaming pot in front of the demon. The pot was filled with rough bean food, not the flesh and blood needed by a demon. But the demon took the hot pot and swallowed it.

The woman looked at the demon eating the food for a while, sighed deeply, and turned back to the house.

The young members of Genesis glanced at each other and slowly backed away a few steps.

“According to the information we have received, Shennai created demons that possess the power of demons and retain human consciousness in some way.” 

Liu Hezheng said, “Shennai attempts to use the power of these half-human and half-demon people to dominate the battlefield. The last time we saw the canine man, he was one of the products of this research.”
