The next morning, in a secret meeting hall in Lianshou Village, ten men and two women, a total of twelve villagers were sitting in a circle, discussing a major event that determined the fate of the whole village with a serious expression.

Xu Kang said: "Yesterday it was me, Zhang Yingzhuo and Liu Xuecheng, who were responsible for the duty outside the wall. According to the established plan, it is Luo Hongwei, Lei Guangji and Li Fengying today. If there is no problem, let's start."

These twelve young people are the only twelve remaining among the 24 former soldiers of the "Village Protection Team" in Lianshou Village. According to the agreement signed by the villagers with them, they can do not have to do farm work. The villagers will provide collective food, clothing, housing and transportation. They take turns to guard outside the wall in a group of three people every day. Their main responsibilities include observation and patrol. If a monster attacks, the villagers must be notified to prevent it as soon as possible. If a monster is caught, they will also be responsible for inspection.

Over the years, it has become a routine for taking turns to be on duty. Even if an exception is made occasionally, it is just a matter of individual team members who are looking for someone to serve for ordinary reasons such as sick leave or fact-free leave. There is no way to say that this time, the meeting was extremely difficult.

The middle-aged man named Lei Guangji looked embarrassed and lowered his head. After a while, he stammered: "Sorry, I don't want to do it anymore. Please ask Gao Ming."

Xu Kang was stunned for a moment and said to Lei Guangji seriously: "Old Lei, this is not what you said. You once told everyone to join the village protection team, but you persuaded everyone. Later, you have always performed well. The villagers trust you so much, why did you give up when you encounter some difficulties?"

"What does it mean to be 'a little difficulty'?" Lei Guangji said sadly, "This is to tie his head on his belt to play with them. Since this year, twelve soldiers have died, twelve! Yesterday's monsters didn't eat people, and they will definitely appear today... I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die..."

"No one wants to die!" Xu Kang said sternly, "Our villagers, do they want to die? They don't want to, so they handed over this sacred mission to us! Yes, no one wants to put themselves in danger, and I don't want to, but who made us eat this bowl of rice?"

"No, the price of this bowl of rice should not be like this!" Lei Guangji strived to say, "Our agreement is very clear. The responsibility of the soldiers of the village protection team is only observation and patrol, not including fighting with those monsters. However, now the monsters are becoming more and more powerful, and observation and patrol alone are no longer enough to protect the village. When will we be responsible for protecting the city gates start?"

Xu Kangyi said sternly: "But we do not protect the city gate. Once monsters attack, more people will die, including your and my family. Who told us that we are the strongest people in the village? If we don't take over, who else can?"

"This is a damn moral kidnapping!" Lei Guangji suddenly hammered the table with his hand, and then shouted, "I am not as noble as you! I joined the village protection team, but what I value is nothing more than nothing. At first, we only took turns once every eight days, and the task was extremely easy. Now we have to take turns once every four days, and we have to fight with our lives at all times, but has our treatment increased?"

"The salary has not increased, and it is also because the village's harvest is difficult..." Xu Kangshen sighed and said to Luo Hongwei and Li Fengying, "The village protection team is free to enter and exit. If Lao Lei insists on not following, I have no choice. What about you? What do you say?"

Although Luo Hongwei and Li Fengying, a man and a woman also showed a repressive look on their faces, they both expressed no objection.

At this time, Zhang Yingzhuo saw that the time had come, and immediately interrupted, "How about this, Lao Lei, today is indeed the most dangerous day, and that big monster is likely to appear. If you really don't want to be on duty, I can take you once today and don't need you to return to work. You should rest for a few days, but I would recommend that you consider it carefully when withdrawing."

Lei Guangji couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Zhang Yingzhuo with surprise and doubts, and asked, "When did you become so generous?"

"It's a special period, special consideration."

Seeing that the problem was solved, Xu Kang was relieved and snorted coldly: "So, Lao Lei, and everyone, people like Brother Zhang are real soldiers!"

...

After a cup of tea, Zhang Yingzhuo came to the pit where Chen Shuqing was trapped again. Seeing Chen Shuqing's weak eyes slightly closed, he shouted: "Miss Shuqing, I'm here again."

Chen Shuqing opened her eyes gently when she heard the sound. When she saw Zhang Yingzhuo, she was stunned and said nothing.

Zhang Yingzhuo threw a piece of air-dried bacon and a kettle onto the cage and said with a smile: "Are you hungry? Have you eaten something."

Chen Shuqing took the bacon and a kettle from the gap above the wooden cage, put the bacon next to his nose and smelled it. He immediately realized that the meat did not come from ordinary livestock, but it was not the meat of the fox clan, so he feasted on his stomach.

After recovering a little of his energy, Chen Shuqing said angrily: "What's your idea for me again today?"

Zhang Yingzhuo's smile suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you still don't plan to accept my conditions."

Chen Shuqing said seriously: "Yes, it's impossible for us to get married."

Zhang Yingzhuo stood up sadly, looked at the direction where monsters appeared and said, "Those monsters did not eat a villager yesterday. Today, there will inevitably be a big monster to kill me. I made a special trip to bet on my life and served a day for a guy who was unwilling to come out to serve you for a day. I didn't expect that I, Zhang Yingzhuo, still has no life..."

"Brother Zhang, let me tell you the truth. I already have a heart. If you are willing to be kind and let me go, we will definitely pick you up and leave this Shaoxing Mountain in the future and help you find a satisfactory wife again. You are a good person and will definitely live a good life."

"Haha, 'good guy'? Xu Kang just now praised me as a 'real warrior'. I have heard a lot of good words in my life, but nothing has changed. Now, who is really praising others in this world? After all, I just put a high hat on the other party so that he can do things for you and even die for you! Haha, sometimes, I really think that people are the worst monster in the world." Zhang Yingzhuo stood up sadly and murmured, "Well, there is only so much I can help you. I can't stay here all the time, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other two guys."

After saying that, Zhang Yingzhuo turned around and left, and never came back.

...

Then, Zhang Yingzhuo, Luo Hongwei and Li Fengying were on duty near the city wall. Shen Shi was the laziest time of the day, and suddenly, a terrifying monster sound suddenly cut through the tranquility of Shaoxing Mountain.

"No, it's the voice of the big monster. The monster is indeed here!" Zhang Yingzhuo took the lead in cheering up, and cold sweat oozed out of his back, saying to the other two, "We have to go back and notify the whole village, and the other two are stationed at the city gate."

This is an extremely sensitive topic. Whoever is responsible for returning to the village to report the news means that the chance of surviving is greatly increased.

After a while, Li Fengying said, "Brother Zhang, go back. You shouldn't be on duty in Japan today. Just let Brother Luo and I take care of you here."

Luo Hongwei looked scared, but he had no way to argue.

Zhang Yingzhuo also had a hundred hopes to go back, but the other party was a woman, so he could only say, "No, I am alone and I have nothing to let go. You have old age and young ones. They can't lose their daughter and mother, so you should go back."

"I understand, then, be careful." Li Fengying got a precious escape opportunity and no longer gave in. She immediately opened the city gate and entered it, leaving Zhang Yingzhuo and Luo Hongwei alone facing a huge tiger demon running.

Looking closely, there was a pale face on the tiger demon's forehead where the word "king" should have been written on it!

Zhang Yingzhuo did not dare to be negligent, so he jumped onto a big tree, and his eyes moved straight with the tiger demon.

The tiger demon ran very fast. Soon, it had reached not far outside the wall. Under the city wall was Luo Hongwei, who was still in shock.

Just when the tiger demon was more than ten feet away from the city wall, Zhang Yingzhuo shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

Luo Hongwei immediately pressed the mechanism on the city wall, and in an instant, dozens of sharp arrows shot diagonally from some small holes above towards the tiger demon!

At the same time, Zhang Yingzhuo pulled the mechanism on the shade of a big tree, and a huge net also fell from the sky towards the tiger demon!

The tiger demon only noticed the sharp arrow in front of him, let out a powerful beast sound, and stretched out his claws to hit the sharp arrow.

However, in the moment before this, the giant net had already covered the tiger demon. The tiger demon's giant claws had just knocked down a few sharp arrows, and his movements were suppressed. He suddenly got caught in a dozen arrows and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Luo Hongwei immediately said happily: "Haha, it's not that difficult. We have killed this big monster! Remember, it was the two of us who did it!"

After saying that, Luo Hongwei was about to step forward, suddenly, the tiger demon turned over and stood up again.

"No, don't get close to it!" Zhang Yingzhuo shouted in horror on the tree.

It was almost time to say that, the tiger demon raised his arm and shouted, and the giant net instantly cracked, and the sharp arrows inserted into the skin were all knocked away!

Luo Hongwei showed a look of ghost encountering a ghost and said in silence: "How come this monster... has become so strong?"

The tiger demon jumped up and roared towards Luo Hongwei. Before the latter could react, the tiger demon was pressed to the ground and vomited blood.

"Don't kill me, I don't want to die yet...please..."

The human face on the tiger demon's head looked at Luo Hongwei and made a majestic voice: "It's hairless... not delicious..."

Luo Hongwei shouted in a desperate voice: "Yes, yes, yes, I don't taste delicious!"

"It's not delicious... I have to eat it..."

With Luo Hongwei's heart-wrenching scream, the tiger demon stepped on him to death. Then, he made another strange baby cry, opened his huge mouth, bit Luo Hongwei into two pieces, and swallowed the first half into his stomach.

At this time, Zhang Yingzhuo saw this terrifying scene on the tree and was already scared to incontinence.

Fortunately, the tiger demon ignored Zhang Yingzhuo on the tree, but just stood up and used all his strength to attack the city wall.

This time, not just the city gate, but the wall on that side instantly shattered, revealing a spacious enough passage.

Then, not only the tiger demons entered the wall, but dozens of beast demons following behind also rushed in.
