Chapter 148 Hot Spring Pool
In addition, as Wen Shouren just mentioned, other convoys had previously tried to stay in the village, which led to a conflict with this convoy, and the people of this hot spring village still live here.
Clearly, the remaining ability in this shelter sequence must be related to protecting the village!
Knowing that Wen Shouren had held back a trump card for them, Xu Wenchu and the others were not surprised. In this apocalypse, people would choose to hold back even their closest friends, let alone strangers.
Moreover, Wen Shouren's trump card was intended to protect his village; anyone would keep such a trump card in reserve.
Wen Shouren nodded, his voice calm, "Captain Xu, you are free to rest, soak in the hot springs, and replenish your supplies in the village. My abilities cover the entire village; you are safe here. Those strange entities chasing you cannot sense this area. However, Captain Xu, you must leave the village in five days!"
"Alright! Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief Wen!" Xu Wenchu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Wenchu and the others left Wen Shouren's house.
Afterwards, the group, as always, got into Xu Wenchu's SUV.
"So? Do you think there's something wrong with this village?" Xu Wenchu asked the group directly after getting into the car.
"From what we can see now, there doesn't seem to be any problem. It seems that this village hasn't been discovered by the supernatural only because of Wen Shouren's protection!" Su Wanyue said calmly.
"It seems that's the situation now. But seriously, this village is truly a paradise in this damn apocalypse! No weirdness, and we can live a self-sufficient life. Life couldn't be more comfortable! It's a pity we can only stay here for five days!" The old man seemed to have some feelings about it.
"Old man, you've already fallen in love with this village so quickly. I remember you were very opposed to coming here!" Wang Hu teased the old man as he said this.
"Hehe! I didn't know the conditions in this village were so good before I came! If I had known, I would have sent you here long ago!" The old man showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
"Don't get too excited yet. For some reason, something about this village feels off to me. Let's not let our guard down yet," Xu Wenchu reminded everyone.
"Something's not right? Captain Xu, do you feel something's off?" the old man asked.
"I don't know, but I just have a strange feeling that something's not right!" Xu Wenchu said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Something's not right, Xu the charlatan! Who cares! We're only staying here for five days at most. Who cares what's wrong with us? As long as we eat and drink well, that's all that matters!" Su Wanyue said nonchalantly.
"Sister Wanyue is right. Wen Shouren told us several times that we can only stay in the village for a maximum of five days. Why don't we rest here for two or three days and then leave? Even if something strange happens in the village then, it won't concern us!" Wang Hu said casually.
"Tiger is right. Even if something goes wrong in this village, we can retreat at any time!" the old man said.
"That's right, let's rest here for a few days!" Xu Wenchu nodded in agreement.
……
Time quickly passed and evening arrived. The kind villagers once again invited them to come in for dinner.
Xu Wenchu and his friends had already enjoyed authentic rural cuisine at noon today, and they were all looking forward to having it tonight!
They didn't refuse and went straight to the villagers' homes for a meal.
Not only Xu Wenchu and his group, but also Zhou Qingya, Wang Changjin and a few others went to the villagers' homes to have dinner together.
Meanwhile, the ordinary survivors in the convoy saw that the sequence transcendents and their relatives were going to the villagers' homes for dinner. In addition, after being persuaded by the people who had gone to lunch earlier that day, most of the people in the convoy accepted the villagers' invitation to have dinner at their homes.
Chen Zhifu and Li Meier were quite cautious. Before going to dinner, they specifically asked Zhao Hai about it. Only after Zhao Hai told them that there was no problem did they feel at ease and go to the villagers' homes for dinner.
As night fell, the hot spring village remained brightly lit. The villagers seemed to have a nightlife; lanterns hung under the eaves of several houses, and some people sat chatting at their doorways. This peaceful and serene scene felt like an illusion in the post-apocalyptic world.
After dinner, the villagers told the group that their hot spring village got its name from a natural hot spring in the village.
Upon hearing about the natural hot springs, the people in the convoy's eyes lit up—in the chaotic, windswept, and desolate world of the apocalypse, being able to take a hot bath was a luxurious fantasy.
Let alone hot showers, most people have been taking cold showers since the apocalypse began.
Moreover, they bathe very infrequently, and most of the time they simply wipe themselves clean with water.
Now, upon hearing about hot springs, everyone's face is filled with excitement, wishing they could fly to the hot spring pool right now.
The villagers led everyone to the back of the village, through a bamboo forest, where a faint smell of sulfur gradually filled the air.
The hot spring pool is nestled among the mountain rocks. By the moonlight and a few temporary windproof lanterns hung up by the villagers, you can see wisps of white mist rising from the surface of the pool.
It was a hot spring pool surrounded by natural rocks, roughly the size of half a basketball court. The water was a warm, milky white, with wisps of steam rising from its surface, creating a scene of ethereal beauty in the night. The pool was divided into several sections by the villagers using smooth pebbles, with bamboo curtains providing some privacy, clearly to separate the areas for men and women.
"Men on the left, women on the right, please feel free to do as you please." The villager leading the way smiled憨厚ly. "The water in the pool is constantly flowing and very clean. Everyone in our village cleans up after themselves, so please bear with us."
The hot spring pool wasn't small, but it couldn't accommodate so many people in the Star Train convoy. So, Xu Wenchu immediately made arrangements: the few of them who were of extraordinary rank, along with their relatives and the Chen Zhifu and Li Meier sisters, would enjoy the hot spring first. As for the others in the convoy, they would have to wait until they finished soaking before going to the hot spring.
As for why Li Meier was able to soak in the hot spring with the sequence extraordinary beings first, it was naturally because she was inexplicably excited when she heard that there was a hot spring.
She hadn't taken a bath in a long time, and now that she was enjoying the hot spring, she couldn't wait to find Zhao Hai.
