Just when the strong man with the scarred face was about to punch out the weak soldier who was already completely grasped in his hand, a surprised cry suddenly sounded behind his ear: "No--"
Of course, that voice could only be that of one of the five newly assembled accomplices, but the inexplicable scream was short, urgent, and very frightening. Only half of the scream came out, and then it was very abrupt. It stopped suddenly.
You know, at this time, all the 'prisoners' were in a completely unfamiliar cave. They were all very alert. Suddenly they heard such a noise, and the burly and unusually scarred man was naturally the first one. He reacted instinctively for a moment and suddenly turned around and retreated. A black shadow leaped across the corner of his eye. The man was so startled that he took a big step back before he paused sharply.
The chance of losing one's body is indeed extremely dangerous, and before the man could completely settle down, the black shadow as big as a basin was flying and spinning strangely in the air, once again heading towards the man because of the strangeness. The head, which became even more plump, pounced.
Naturally, the man with the scar didn't have time to think about it. He almost instinctively grabbed the frail soldier in his hand, casually threw it towards the dark shadow, and threw it away hard. Then, there was only a muffled sound of "Boom!", and Shi Liang, who was forced to take off, fell heavily to the solid ground not far away, together with the black object that was still hanging in the air a moment ago. On the rock wall, there were bones rolling down to the ground. They were already lifeless and did not know whether they were alive or dead.
After cutting off this strange and inexplicable sneak attack, the scar-faced man calmed down his mind. He took another look at the source of the exclamation and found out: just a few steps before him, the person who had just On the platform piled with food, there was a round-butt insect with a fat belly, which was grabbing the chest of the old-fashioned peasant man.
At this moment, this giant, unknown insect had already stretched out its slender claws, baring its fangs and claws to grab the man's frightened face. The next second, I saw its limbs jump angrily, dive at a high speed, and in an extremely weird posture, the stuffer was squeezed into the man's throat.
The peasant man who did not escape the sneak attack of the strange insect had obviously gone through a desperate struggle. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain. His body had long been firmly locked by the six legs of that strange thing, and there was no way to escape. But under the current attack, he could only rely on instinct and stuck himself with one hand. At the throat, one hand pinched the insect's carapace, which was as dark as ink, making a muffled sound in his throat, hesitating and struggling to pull it out.
However, the insect's head had already broken into the man's throat after all. The scarred man could certainly see that at the throat of the man who was attacked, there was a bulge on the dark skin that was pushed by something. After a lot of manipulation, it was quickly broken open from the inside. A small opening, followed by streams of blood, clots and meat residue overflowing unconsciously.
The endless pain mixed with the fear that overflowed the soul was constantly tormenting the peasant man's body that was not completely dead. Among the stalactites on the ceiling of the cave, one by one, the flying black figures could already be smelled. The fishy smell of flesh and blood was coming one after another at an extremely fast speed, emerging from the figure continuously.
For a time, the insects as big as a bag were densely packed, like a dark cloud, all over the dome, and like a tidal waterfall, they swarmed in from the hidden nest at the top, one after another like dropping dumplings, pouring out. come down. However, the swarm of insects had not yet completely landed on the ground, and they consciously diverged as if they had received an order, rushing straight towards the bloody place where the two parties fell to the ground. After a while, they had gathered into two small piles.
"Run!" I don't know who screamed again, and the scar-faced man was brought back to the present moment from the shock. The five people who were still chatting and laughing together on the high platform had already scattered in various directions at this moment.
"Zhao... Mr. Zhao, what should we do?" The wretched old dog Hua was the one who could find support in the chaos. He immediately ran to the side of the scarred man, leaned over, and was alert to death. Staring at the swarm of insects pouring out of the air, fear was written on his face.
Even more unbearable than him was a fellow countryman who was also burly in stature. Unexpectedly, this man usually looked strong and domineering, but his mental quality was not high at all. He had been gloomy since he came here. He didn't say much. At this moment, he was even more excited by the group of strange insects. He screamed alone and ran far away.
In less than a moment, among the seven prisoners who had arrived in the cave together, only four were left together. The four survivors, who are still healthy at present, all have extremely complicated emotions, especially when they look at the two 'companions' who were imprisoned together a moment ago, and are now overwhelmed and covered by the group of weird bugs. Heishan was even more sad in his heart, but he didn't have time to sigh. He naturally hugged each other tightly and moved closer to each other in order to take care of each other.
"Brother Zhao, please tell me, how are we going to escape from behind?" The person speaking at this time was the peasant man who had also experienced a change. Obviously, he and the man named Zhao are better able to adapt to changes in the environment than the other two 'ordinary people'. Probably because the physical strength of these two people suddenly increased, which gave them more confidence and could quickly calm down their fears.
At this moment, the man was holding a black metal fork that he had snatched from the wall on the side, holding it against his chest. He was guarding another companion who was holding a shield-like pot-like object, sideways. He turned his head towards the scar-faced man who threw something at them.
The man with the scarred face obviously had the ability to fight bravely. He calmly swept away a big black insect that rushed in front of him. He turned around and said, "Brothers, don't be discouraged. Come with me." Let's go in that direction!" After saying that, he picked up the fork he just grabbed and pointed in a northerly direction.
It was a dark cave far away from here that looked dark and devoid of light. Everyone took a quick glance and listened to the scarred man continue: "I was the first one to come out, and I have already explored the surrounding area." As he said that, he helped the old Hua dog beside him to poke away a monster. Chong continued, "There are only two cave entrances in this place. Except for the patio above that cannot be reached, that's the only one."
That place was where the fellow villager who just screamed strangely escaped. The surrounding area was smooth and tight, and there was a corridor leading to an unknown place, winding downwards. It was dark and dark, so dark that the man with the scar just did not explore it carefully. Then he turned around and joined the crowd.
According to the scarred man's idea, he naturally wanted to encourage the other three people to go down and explore first. But now that the mutation has occurred, and in such a situation where the insect swarm is besieging him, there is no room for him to have a deployment plan. Indeed, there was only one place where they might have a chance to escape, and they had no choice.
The mutated man nodded and glanced at the mountain of insects that had been piled up next to his former partner, with lingering fear in his heart: "It's all up to Brother Zhao! We have to hurry up. If we delay any longer, we're afraid that the insects will finish eating. They will all come to us!"
At this time, the four men, no matter how cautious they were about each other, could only hug together and find a way to escape quickly. But no one knew that under that mountain of insects, Shi Liang was still alive and struggling hard.
Many times, immediate death is far more relaxing and comfortable than struggling to die before you are completely dead. Just like Shi Liang now, bug bites from time to time can already make him miserable! It's a pity that the damn knife catcher has tortured him to the point where he doesn't even have the ability to commit suicide.
Yes, Shi Liang just wants to get it over with now, but he no longer has the ability to bite his tongue, but he has not completely lost the feeling of pain and touch. Yes, he could feel that his whole body was now covered with insects as big as bowls and basins. They were all densely pressing on him, making it very difficult for him to breathe. Countless tiny feet were poking at his flesh, and he said The unclear mouthparts were biting and sucking his bones and blood.
When the pain continues to be amplified until it reaches the extreme point of endurance, then, there is not much feeling at all. The endless tearing slowly began to numb him, his spirit became increasingly cold, and a strange feeling suddenly spread.
Shi Liang seemed to have an extremely comfortable and pleasurable feeling, as if his soul had been torn and separated from his body, floating as if he had floated under the dome of the sky, but he had not yet enjoyed a moment of freedom. The next step In seconds, dark clouds filled the air, thunder and lightning flashed! boom! It was a bolt of lightning that knocked him down into the abyss in an instant.
It was an endless, wordless silence that was enough to sink consciousness completely. It continued for an unknown amount of time, and finally, in this endless darkness, two dark purple lights quietly lit up. The next second! The inconspicuous purple light suddenly began to disperse, and silently, it suddenly lit up all the darkness around it!
It was a pair of purple eyes that broke through the darkness, clean and pure, like a spark of fire, burning endlessly, gradually changing from dark purple to bright red, then from bright red to brighter gold, and then from bright golden light. Turned into light, in an instant, the world became colorful again!
"Thump!" A powerful and subtle sound seemed to be absent, making it difficult to hear it clearly.
"Bang!" In the colorful and beautiful world, a different atmosphere seemed to begin to glow.
"Thump!" Inexplicably, something different seemed to be breaking out of the shell.
"Thump!" The light and shadow suddenly gathered, suddenly shrinking into a grain of rice glowing with vermilion.
"Thump!" The red color gradually sheds its purple color, getting darker and darker.
"Thump!" A pair of dark eyes suddenly opened!
