Chapter 659 Under the Night
The sun sets, and the whole world is covered by the night.
In the bright lights of the big city, no one knows what kind of strange monsters are staring at the delicious flesh and blood in the dark.
James, with Polaris and Flash, kept walking on the country road. After the sun set, the three of them had already walked out of the city. According to the bright mark on the poker card, Dean's current location should be in the suburbs.
The three of them have been hiding all year round, and it is common to sleep in the open air. So even though the mountain road here is extremely tortuous, the few of them didn't say much, but just tried their best to speed up their pace, just to find the guy Zhang Ye said as soon as possible.
James was moving forward quickly, and he was also secretly alert.
Although this place is much safer than his world, this is a different world after all, and James naturally can't let down his guard completely.
In particular, Zhang Ye told him about the demons created by the Creator God and the monsters created by Eve in this world. The combat power of these guys is very terrifying. Although they seem to be not very threatening, ordinary people can also hunt demons as long as they master the method, but they will inevitably capsize in the gutter.
In James's more than 100 years of life, he has also heard countless legends and myths, including horror stories such as vampires, zombies, and ghosts, but most of them are lies made up by people out of boredom. Even if there are true ones, they are things done by mutants who cannot control their abilities.
Before mutants were completely exposed to humans, these creatures had been active in the myths of various countries, and were misinterpreted and adapted under continuous dissemination, and finally formed the appearance they are now.
After the mutant group was exposed, all myths and legends were nailed with the nail of "heresy", and even the always free United States did not allow the reading of the Bible.
Of course, this is only what happened in James' world. Here, in this world where mutants don't exist, those mythical monsters are real, and they are complete monsters, the kind that eat people.
"Is it that far?" Polaris went forward for a distance, and his face became a little impatient. "This is not the 'little' error you just said."
"It's almost there, believe me, it's almost there." James had a headache. He was in an unfamiliar place and had been moving forward for so long. If the three of them were not ordinary people, they would have given up long ago.
"Yes, it's almost there, just like you said eleven times before, there is nothing new." Polaris rolled her eyes. She had heard this sentence all the way, but the surrounding scenery was almost the same except for a dark forest. "I said when we left the city, let's just steal a car, it's faster, but you didn't listen."
"This is not the world we are familiar with. Stealing a car is easy to say. Do you think the police won't investigate us? Don't forget, our identities can't stand up to scrutiny." James glanced at Polaris and answered in a deep voice.
Polaris also understood that what Logan said was right. This world did give her a strange feeling of being both familiar and strange. If she was exposed rashly, there would indeed be some tricky troubles, so she was just complaining.
The three of them moved forward again for a distance, and in the distance, a small town hidden in the darkness appeared in front of everyone.
In fact, it is not accurate to call it a town. It is more like a remote village surrounded by farms. From the road sign, you can vaguely see that the name of this town is called "Sweet Wheat Village".
"Is it here?"
Looking at the building complex in the dark, James frowned slightly.
Obviously, this peaceful town is very quiet, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort, but for some reason, James' innate body warning began to alarm, which made him very uneasy.
"What are you waiting for, let's go in and find him!" Polaris saw that she finally had a place to stay, and hurriedly prepared to move forward.
But she had just taken two steps when James raised his hand to stop her, and Polaris frowned. "What's wrong? Why are you stopping me?"
"It's always better to be careful." James ignored Polaris and Flash, and his eyes kept patrolling the pitch-black darkness around him. "Before coming here, Zhang Ye said that Dean is a professional demon hunter. He and his brother work together and have no fixed place to live. Now that they appear here, I'm afraid things are not that simple."
"I know." Polaris moved his wrist. "So it's time for us to come out now, right?"
Seeing Polaris's excited face, James sighed lightly. He hadn't seen such a vigorous mutant child for a while.
Shaking his head slightly, James spoke. "Our mission is just to bring Dean and his brother to Zhang Ye. The affairs of this world are not our business."
"When did the legendary Wolverine become like this." Polaris folded his arms. "You were not like this when you challenged my father."
"That's different." James waved his hand, as if he didn't want to recall those things.
"What's the difference? You know better than anyone how powerless your steel body is in front of my father, but even so, you still stand on the road to stop my father every time." Polaris argued.
"I said it's different, you don't understand it at all"
James opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he stopped in place, and the rest of the words were swallowed back by him.
Seeing that Logan stopped talking halfway, Polaris naturally couldn't let him go. "I don't understand anything, just say it."
"Shh!"
James didn't want to chat at this time. He suddenly made a silent gesture, then raised his head and moved his nose, as if he was smelling something.
Polaris and Flash looked at each other and reacted immediately. Wolverine suddenly prepared for battle, I'm afraid there must be danger around, so the two of them became serious in an instant, carefully observing the wind and grass around them.
I don't know how long it took.
Just when Polaris couldn't stand it anymore, suddenly, the sound of branches and leaves breaking came from the woods behind the three people.
The sound was clearly the sound of dry leaves falling on the ground, being crushed by some existence. This sound was very obvious in the dead silence of the night.
It can be said that the moment the sound was heard, the three people present turned to that direction at the same time, staring at the shadowy area.
As the sound got closer, a human figure appeared in front of the three people.
It was a very young guy, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was also startled when he saw the three people in front of him, but James could accurately observe that there was more doubt in his eyes than surprise.
His nose moved, and an indescribable fishy smell entered James's nasal cavity, choking him so much that he almost couldn't help but take a few steps back, but behind him were the two girls, Polaris and Flash, so he naturally couldn't take a step back.
While James, Polaris and others were on full alert, the guy on the opposite side was also observing the strange combination in front of them.
He first poked his head out and sniffed hard, as if to confirm something, but soon his expression became tangled, and his eyes looking at James were full of strangeness.
Being looked at by the young man a little awkwardly, James was about to say something, but unexpectedly, the young man spoke first.
"You must be Uncle Egg, you are so polite, you come and bring food."
Food?
Polaris and Flash were stunned for a moment, but James did not react at all. He still kept that silent and serious face, looking at the young man in front of him calmly.
Seeing that the strong man in front of him did not show any extra expression, the young man became bolder and continued with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, I am your nephew Jim, uncle, you are here this time."
As he said, Jim moved closer to James and said with a smile that only the two of them could hear.
"My dad just caught two demon hunters as snacks"
