The world in the dark is extremely dark. Even if you hold a torch or a flashlight, the light is only limited to a small area. If you look farther away, it will be out of reach. It is still completely black and it is difficult to distinguish the direction.
If you don’t want to get lost, you must find a clear reference. Undoubtedly, railways and highways are the best navigators. Just like a blind man walking, you don’t need to worry about whether you can see farther, as long as you follow the railways and highways. If you move forward in the extended direction, you won't make much mistakes.
Three days later, a group of pedestrians appeared on the G312 National Highway not far from Changzhou. They looked nervous and cautious, suppressed their breathing, and carefully walked through the gaps between the cars blocking the road. Occasionally, a grunt came from the black screen in the distance. With a roar, they extinguished the only small flashlight at the front of the team, squatted down alertly, and hid between the car doors. They held their breath and not a single sound came out.
When silence returns to the surroundings, they will follow the ropes connected to each other and touch the car walls to get back on the road. If they encounter some open car doors, they will go in and search and take away everything they can use, especially It's food, water and clothing.
No one knows where they come from and where they are going. They are like weak fireflies moving in the darkness, and their weak light may be swallowed up by the boundless darkness at any time.
At the front of the marching team, the clever young man who was responsible for opening the road stepped on a hard object, stopped hurriedly, carefully brightened the light of the flashlight, looked forward, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
They encountered another dead body, more than twenty of them, scattered on the road, on the roof of the car, and on both sides of the road. The death state was very horrifying. There was no complete body. It was like a rag doll that had been dismantled and scattered in pieces. .
Since it's not the first time I've encountered it, I'm not too scared, but I'm just more vigilant.
But as they tried to pass through the swarm of corpses. A baby crying from under a half-body corpse brought the entire team into great panic and despair.
"Stop its mouth, or we will all die!"
"It's useless, just shut up. It will also move around and make noises. It's best to kill..."
"You're crazy. It's still a child. Do you have any humanity left?"
"Humanity? Do you want to take it away? Otherwise it will die here, sooner or later."
"That can't be..."
"A baby who is not yet sensible. Compared with dozens of our lives, which one is more important!?"
…
Several people whispered and argued fiercely.
At the front of the team, there was a beautiful woman with confused eyes, as if she had just woken up from sleep. The cold wind blew her hair around her delicate face, bringing a hint of blood.
"They're coming!"
This was the only sentence she said. Her voice was not high, but it was extremely chilling. It feels like ice that has not melted for thousands of years, making people feel chilly.
The team suddenly panicked, but there was no confusion. Most people quickly gathered and hid in a place that seemed safer. A small group of people, only about four or five, stood together with the Qingli woman, with stern expressions, staring into the dark depths. at.
Someone was praying, hoping that it wasn't another monster that came. But bugs, because there are good bugs and evil bugs, so maybe they still have a half chance of encountering a good bug and escape disaster.
There are tiny ice needles condensed between the graceful fingers of the beautiful woman. She seemed confused as to why she was able to do this, and looked at the intensive flashing of the ice needles with complicated eyes.
Several other people were also ready to go. Movements could already be felt on the ground, and the energy fluctuations were even clearer. There were at least five or more creatures, and they were very fast. It's very fast, and you definitely can't escape if you want to.
Ten seconds or eleven seconds? In the beating of the heart, time passed so slowly and so fast, and a ferocious figure began to appear in the darkness. A man quickly set off several flames, burning dead trees and vehicles on both sides of the road, lighting up the battlefield. , so that humans with weak sight can fight better.
But the moment the light dispelled the darkness, the hearts of this group of people jumped suddenly. There was another person less than ten meters in front of them!
No one knew how he appeared, nor did they know when he had been standing there. When they "asked" the most beautiful woman among them, they found that she also had a look of surprise.
The flow of thoughts only happened in an instant. The man in the red cloak was wearing an ice-crystal-like battle armor. Under the silver mask, it was impossible to tell the difference between male and female, and his expression could not be seen. There was just a cold momentum, and he was watching the passionate running. Six red beetles came.
His left hand, which was resting on the scabbard, was wrapped in a compact and powerful ice crystal glove. It seemed to hold infinite power and remained motionless. His right hand, when the six-foot red beetle broke through to about twenty meters, rested on the handle of the knife. , slowly pulled out the narrow knife from the sheath, the figure flashed, and the next moment it appeared among the insects.
The people in this team have never been involved in such a direct fight. There is no power of ice or fire. They compete completely with hard against hard strength. Who is faster, who is sharper, and who is stronger? Strong!
The clear pupils of the beautiful girl gradually shrank, and the cloak and sword flashing among the insects seemed to awaken some kind of sleeping memory in her. Maybe it was just scattered fragments, but a trace of clarity finally appeared in her confused eyes. bright light.
The battle started ten seconds ago and ended three minutes later. During this period, few people saw clearly how he killed the six red beetles one by one. All they could see was that the sight was dazzled, the sword was shining, and the corrosive slime was flying everywhere. , residual limbs and broken bones were thrown from the battle circle from time to time, because the speed was too fast and too violent, which made people have to think with fear: What if what was thrown was a human leg? ?
When the last knife slashed toward the sky and finally stopped, the worries of the spectators were immediately shocked and forgotten by the corpses of red beetles on the ground. A whole six red beetles were cut up like this, and they were completely cut. The violent method, using force against force, is enough to show the strength and strength of this cloaked silver-faced man!
The light of the sword drew an arc and flashed into the scabbard. He raised his hands again and saw that the six red beetle corpses that were on the ground just now suddenly disappeared. Everyone was even more surprised, including the beautiful girl. Exception frowned and looked at him. It was as if he could see something about Ni Duanlai from that cloak.
During this period, he didn't say a word to them, and they didn't ask him a word. They seemed to be doing unrelated things.
The baby was crying again. An older woman took it out from under the body and pulled it somewhere painful.
The silver-faced man in cloak, who was about to turn around and leave, said calmly: "You should be grateful to it."
After saying that, he disappeared into the vast darkness without a trace. There was not even a slight fluctuation.
Only then did the leader of the team realize that this person was attracted by the baby's sound when he was passing by! His heart was even more shocked, as none of them noticed his approach. If he had even the slightest bit of malice——
You don't need to think about the consequences. No one's bones can be stronger than the insect's carapace. The cold and gloomy sword can easily cut their bodies open like tofu without any effort.
Only the pretty woman moved gracefully, and her confused eyes gradually began to settle, revealing bursts of cold light.
…
The same and similar thing happened on the G213 highway and later the highway. Happens frequently.
A group of villagers roared, and rushed forward like a strange six-legged creature. A red cloud with icy light shot out from the darkness. In the interlaced sword light, the creature was almost cut into pieces by five horses on the spot, and died.
An escape team organized by a group of girls ran into a group of red beetles nesting together in a "daze" in the dark. They ran in all directions with screams, and a red cloud shone with ice. Flying out from the heads of the little girls, the swords and lights intertwined, and several insects were instantly cut into pieces and died.
The whole family is about to arrive in Shanghai. He breathed a long sigh of relief, but there was no time to be happy. Several green fluorescent flukes that flew off the waterway fell from the sky. They calmly surrounded the business car with a shivering family inside and started doing woodpecker work. A red cloud shone through. Ice light flashed out from the roof of the car. During the clash of swords and lights, seven or eight thorn flukes broke their wings and fell to the ground, twitching and dying.
…
A few days later, before Chu Yunsheng arrived in Shanghai, there was already a rumor in the city that there was a red cloud with ice light outside the city. It either shot out from here or swept over there, coming and going without a trace, disappearing in the darkness. , no one knows who he is, and no one has seen him. He specializes in attacking all kinds of lone creatures. His whereabouts are extremely strange. He is more ghost than ghost, so many people firmly believe that it is the ghost leader who takes action. There was no other possibility. After the incident, both the military and the government began to believe it, and they kept sending people to the Ghost Building to inquire.
*******
Lao You has been restless for the past two days. He always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say it. He often sits down and suddenly stands up again, his face looking very haggard.
The new deputy leader specially organized a party called Party for it to celebrate its birthday - it is said that it has many birthdays, claiming that it is because it swallowed many people, and invited many nobles and ladies, including many young and beautiful women. , and the handsome young man.
This kind of gathering in the Ghost Building is very famous in Shanghai. Many upper-class celebrities flock to it, and there are even more civilians who copy it. It has a resounding name in the outside world-Doomsday Bliss! They vent the despair, decadence, depression and other psychological distortions shrouded in the apocalypse to the limit, and gather together to do all kinds of incredible things with the idea of carpe diem.
The banquet gradually came to an end. Lao You swallowed a lot of wine amidst the compliments. He dimly looked at the disheveled figures in the pool who were gradually getting naked. He felt very good. It I like this kind of beauty, full of the original power of life, which makes me intoxicated and unable to extricate myself.
"Sister, I mean, you sit here solemnly at every banquet. Isn't it so boring?" The newly-appointed deputy leader was drunk and staggered to the side of a very beautiful woman, holding a wine bottle. Lustful Light sat down next to her.
The woman gave him a cold look and said coldly: "Although the leader has many godsons and goddaughters, don't forget that I am the first."
"Yes, yes, you are the first. The leader dotes on you, but don't forget, your expression does not please him." The new deputy leader threatened in a dark way: " If I can casually reveal what you said to someone outside to the old leader, hehe..."
The woman's brows jumped, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said calmly: "I have always been loyal to the leader, and my godfather knows it best. You can tell him whatever I have said. Let’s see if the old man will believe it?”
The new deputy leader snorted coldly and thought to himself, why are you pretending to be aloof? Wait until I coax the leader, we will see if you are still harsh! Why don't you lie down on my bed obediently!
If I don't show you some color today, why don't you let your tail stick to the sky?
Thinking of this, he pretended to be drunk, and forcefully hugged the woman, glared at her, and then turned around and said loudly: "Master leader, I have heard some rumors outside in the past two days. Some people say that our Ghost Cult Don’t be afraid of anyone, but be afraid of one person.”
