1309 Strange Footsteps
The bodyguards returned from the city with a lot of food and seeds.
They handed these things over to the villagers and then went to rest.
Jiang Yu said to the cyborgs, “when the villagers have planted these seeds, you’ll be responsible for helping the villagers with the farm work. Did you hear that?”
“Yes, master.”
During dinner, the villagers carefully built a few temporary tables so that the cyborgs could have a place to eat.
However, the group of cyborgs stood at the entrance of the village in a daze, staring at them without blinking.
“What are you guys standing there for? Why didn’t you come over for dinner?” Jiang Yu shouted, “if you don’t come over now, the food will get cold. It won’t taste good.”
The people looked at each other and finally looked at Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun shook his head, “master, we’ll wait for you to finish your meal before we go eat.”
“Is this a rule?” Jiang Yu asked slowly after a pause.
“We’re the defective products of the experiment,” Zhou Yun explained. “Defective products can’t eat with their Masters.”
“What kind of stupid rule is this?” Jiang Yu walked over. “Don’t think of yourselves as defective products. Instead, you have to think of yourselves as upright people. Why can’t people eat together? Besides, the villagers also welcome you to eat with them, so you can come and eat with them.”
Some of the villagers also waved to them and said, “You guys come over and eat together. What master? Besides, you guys helped us farm today, so you guys should eat at the same table as us.”
Only then did Zhou Yun and the rest walk over, but they were all very careful.
After the meal, Zhou Yun and the rest rested in the temporary tent set up outside. They had already rested during the day, so they didn’t need to rest much at night. They only needed to be on high alert and keep an eye on the situation around them.
With their help, the bodyguards could rest better.
After an unknown amount of time, the night was already dark, and visibility was less than three meters. Suddenly, a series of soft footsteps entered Zhou Yun’s ears.
Because of the surgery, Zhou Yun and the others were more sensitive than normal people. Even if it was a very soft sound, they would still hear it very clearly.
“There’s someone nearby.” Zhou Yun reminded his companion in a low voice, “and it’s not just one. There are at least twenty of them.”
“I heard it too.” His companions also lowered their voices. “Could they be the accomplices of the group of people from before?”
“It’s hard to say,” Zhou Yun frowned. “I’ll keep an eye on the situation here. Find a chance to go to the village and wake the master up.”
“I know, boss.” His companion sneaked out of the tent in the dark. He quickly ran into the village.
Zhou Yun remained where he was, vigilantly watching his surroundings.
The cyborg who ran into the village found Jiang Yu’s room accurately and knocked on the door. “Master?”
Jiang Yu was already full of worries, so she did not feel sleepy until now. When she heard someone knocking on the door, Jiang Yu walked over and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”
The cyborg at the door briefly explained what had happened and said, “Master, boss Zhou Yun and the other brothers are still there. What should we do now?”
Strange footsteps?
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment. She quickly opened the door and said to him, “I’ll go to Zhou Yun’s place first. You go and wake up the bodyguards.”
The cyborg obeyed the order and quickly went to wake up the bodyguards.
Jiang Yu, on the other hand, went to find Zhou Yun without stopping.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the expression on Zhou Yun’s face was getting more and more serious.
Jiang Yu squatted down beside him carefully and asked, “What’s the situation now?”
“The footsteps are getting closer and closer,” said Zhou Yun. “But it doesn’t seem to be coming from the same direction. It’s coming from all directions. They seem to have surrounded the village.”
Jiang Yu’s expression turned grave when she heard that.
“Could this group of people be the accomplices of the group from before? If he’s really an accomplice of that group, ” she guessed, frowning, “then we’re in a very dangerous situation now.”
“Master, you don’t have to worry.” Zhou Yun consoled her, “if anything happens, we will protect you. We will also do our best to protect the villagers you mentioned.”
“But I can’t let you die in vain.” Jiang Yu said, “tell everyone to retreat to the village with me. No one is allowed to go out without my orders.”
“Yes, master.”
