"Walking corpse" is a horror element that has been used by countless people since ancient times. People are afraid of death, and they are even more afraid of unknown things that confuse life and death. For ordinary people, just seeing an obviously withered corpse walking towards you, It was already a huge mental impact.
Of course this is not necessarily a negative impact.
Those who will be scared to the point of weakness will soon be eliminated from the testing venues in the distribution center. On the contrary, those who can muster the courage will gradually learn to cope with it and gradually become accustomed to it.
Yuan Xi fired.
The bullet entered the chest of the corpse, lifting up a piece of dry and hard tissue like a piece of rotten wood, making a sound like hitting something hard. The impact caused the body to recoil, but that was all.
"Same as stone."
Yuan Xi took the gun back dissatisfied. When Xiao Shifan saw this, he no longer prepared to shoot. He just looked around with his flashlight and saw that the shadowy "corpse" was walking in the forest.
"Are you still going to walk?" he asked.
"No, the things in our hands can't cause any fatal injuries. No, it's better to say that we haven't even found any fatal injuries."
When these guys fell off the tree, they even scared the two of them. After all, the whole body was surrounded by the tree like bark. It would be difficult to think of such a hiding method without knowing it in advance, not to mention that these guys were "scattered" all over the tree. The surface of a tree only fell off and turned into a human form when attacked.
As for why these corpses became like this, or even whether they were corpses at all, now is not the time to consider that.
"Slow speed, strong defense, and no obvious weaknesses. Such characteristics should be defensive." Yuan Xi took two steps back and walked to a position side by side with Xiao Shifan.
"Doesn't that prove that we have found the right place?" Xiao Shifan grinned.
"I'm going to take a risk. I'm going to find out what they protect tonight!"
"I am happy to accompany you, Miss Yuan."
The two exchanged glances and quickly chose a direction where no one was surrounding them and rushed out.
At the same time, on the other side of the city.
A pair of rough hands pressed down on the trees in the forest, making a rustling sound. The hunter wearing a military hat poked his head out from the bushes. The dark environment seemed not to affect his vision, and he could identify the road with only the faint starlight.
Li Zhongxin is extremely familiar with this environment. After all, his identity as a hunter is not the same as driving ducks to the shelves, but similar to his job as a forest ranger before his death.
This is already the third day of surveillance. After he and Wang Zongxiang confirmed that the other party was also a "crow" from the distribution center, they prepared to do something in the mountains. For example, does that "burning vehicle shrouded in evil black mist" really exist?
Although there was still the weird cave and what happened a few days ago, Li Zhongxin was not ready to look for more teammates. He always believed that as long as he found a strong enough and reliable companion, one or two would be enough. Wang Zongxiang is also a person who prioritizes the development of force. Even if he is not very good at solving puzzles, he can still overcome difficulties with his skills.
There is always more than one way in the test field. Force, brains, luck, no matter which one is achieved to a certain extent, you can pass the level. Li Zhongxin does not have extra points to develop in an all-round way, so he would rather go to the extreme on one road.
"Lao Li, I'm sorry for being late."
Wang Zongxiang emerged from the bushes behind him. He carried a small wine bottle, threw it into Li Zhongxin's hand, and grinned: "Be brave."
Li Zhongxin thanked him, unscrewed the lid and took a sip. The spicy wine slid into his throat. The stimulation made him even more motivated.
"Did you find anything?"
Wang Zongxiang took off his shotgun, but Li Zhongxin just shook his head.
"I didn't see any fire, not even will-o'-the-wisps."
"Ah... is this rumor true..." Wang Zongxiang scratched his beard, but he was not discouraged. Hunting can never be rushed.
"I think it's true."
While Li Zhongxin said these words, he also took off the shotgun from his back, and stared at the dots of moonlight between the trees with his sharp eyes.
"oh?"
"It's so quiet." Li Zhongxin raised his gun and took aim.
"On such a midsummer evening, in such a quiet place in the forest, the only place where that thing appears is probably, and I finally found it."
There was not even a sound in the silence in the forest, and the two people's low-pitched conversations seemed noisy. This was undoubtedly extremely abnormal.
It's nearby!
Wang Zongxiang suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned his head hurriedly and at the same time pulled Li Zhongxin behind an old tree.
Not far behind them, dots of blue flames were rushing through the woods, swiftly but silently, and Li Zhongxin's good night vision could see that the flames were wrapped in a mass of changing shapes. The black fog is measured!
"is that one!"
Wang Zongxiang let out a low roar, and Li Zhongxin became even more excited.
"Let's chase!"
Tosu Lakeside.
The three people gradually approached the lakeshore. The difference from yesterday was that this time they were extremely well prepared. They had already put on diving equipment, and their ears were tightly blocked with earplugs and earmuffs.
"Please, Ali."
Fei Yunwei in the middle said into the air, and then a wonderful wave of feeling connected the senses of the three people.
Soul synchronization, although it cannot directly transmit sound, can make the tacit understanding between the three people higher. Even simple gestures are enough to convey meaning.
Gao Yunji pointed at his watch and made two gestures. The other two nodded and immediately began to take off their coats.
This lakeshore area is not small, even the monsters in the cabin need some reaction time, and their goal is only the bottom of the lake!
After three sounds of water entering, a gust of wind suddenly hung over the lake.
Lu Ning put down her phone. She didn't know how much happened tonight, but she had some premonitions.
"Sorry... So, about me going to the hospital with you..."
"Unfortunately, I still won't agree."
Chen Xue firmly rejected her.
"It is absolutely forbidden for people who have not received combat training to rush to the front line. Although I have no position to stop you from going alone, I can do it to keep you out."
"To put it bluntly, it's up to me." Lan Yushu said with a smile.
Although there was a joking tone, Lan Yushu didn't look like he would help Lu Ning.
"Have you discussed it?"
"It's a pity." Chen Xue took out her wallet, "Unless there is some reason why you must participate. By the way, your ability is not within this range, and the pupil technique needs to be protected."
Lu Ning hesitated for a long time, but after all, she couldn't find a perfect reason.
"It's getting late, let's deal with other things first." He Nianqing eased the awkward atmosphere, took Chen Xue's wallet and went to pay the bill. Lan Yushu comforted Lu Ning, but he was obviously not at the point where he could change Chen Xue's decision. However, Lu Ning's request to see the captured monsters was not rejected. After the four paid the bill, they headed to the place where they temporarily imprisoned the monster.
It was underneath a semi-abandoned building in the old town of Denma. Due to the transfer of economic center in recent years, few people come to this place, and even the public transportation is very few. But precisely because of this, confidentiality is quite strong.
"There are seven of us in total. Don't think it's less. There are only so many people that can be mobilized to Danma at the moment." He Nianqing introduced Lu Ning on the way, "The one guarding those monsters is an uncle named Liang Shaokun. He has a good temper. , don’t be nervous. As for the other three who have other matters, I can introduce them to you if there is a chance in the future."
"Okay." Lu Ning responded, but her eyes swept towards the building.
Evil spirit.
Is it those guys?
Walking downstairs along the cracked steps, you can find that the place has been transformed into an area that is a mixture of prison and laboratory. A middle-aged man wearing an undershirt and holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand is lying on his back on a beach chair. The man is enjoying the cool weather in front of the narrow entrance. The style of the painting is completely inconsistent with the cold iron railing and glass wall behind.
"Uncle Liang! We brought the people here!"
Lan Yushu raised his hand and said hello inside. Lu Ning noticed that there was a bit of respect and admiration in his tone, and his previous lazy look was completely restrained.
"Oh...are you back? Let me take a look."
Liang Shaokun sat up from the recliner, and several people noticed that he still had headphones on one ear, as if he was listening to something. Chen Xue stepped forward with some helplessness and took off his headphones, looking at him with a slight reproach: "Don't be too lax during official duties! The team leader will be unhappy if he finds out!"
"No slack, no slack." Liang Shaokun hurriedly snatched the earphones back and pointed inside, "Everyone is asleep, Xiaoxue, you don't know, my natural ability is to relax before I can use it."
Lu Ning also came over at this time. Liang Shaokun's eyes immediately lit up when he saw her: "This girl is pretty good."
"...Watch your words, Uncle Liang." Chen Xue had to remind him again.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, you are very capable, little girl, I can even feel the energy hidden in your body. You have a bright future."
"He says this to everyone, but Uncle Liang's vision is indeed very accurate." Lan Yushu whispered in Lu Ning's ear.
Lu Ning smiled and immediately saluted Liang Shaokun. He Nianqing finally walked in, holding a cigarette in his hand, and the lingering smoke completely enveloped the area near the entrance. After checking it, he came over and said: "Let's take Lu Ning to confirm whether these captured ones are the same type as those who attacked her before. Please ask Uncle Liang to release one of them from sleep."
"Well, you go to Room 4, walk to the door and give me a signal." Uncle Liang used a fan to fan away the smoke that was coming over, "Xiao He, I have to remind you that although smoking is your ability, don't really Suck it, except for our own abilities, we are just ordinary people, and the chance of getting lung cancer will not be reduced."
"Thank you for your concern, but I can't quit for the time being." He Nianqing laughed, patted Lu Ning and asked her to follow him to room four.
