The sparse rainfall and heavy pollution in Wandering City have resulted in extremely low food production, and green vegetation is almost covered by steel cities and deserts.
Lin Qiao's parents were farmers before. After the harvest failed a few years ago, the family moved to the city and became what the local people called migrant households and homeless people.
She has learned a lot of relevant knowledge on her own, and even though its appearance is lifelike, she can still tell the difference between a synthetic tree and a real tree.
This tree is really fake.
She has been reluctant to step into this jungle because she thinks there is something wrong with it. Now it seems that the possibility of manual intervention is very high.
So this thing was created artificially?
After all, biological companies can even develop genetic medicines that can turn humans into superhuman beings with infinite strength.
Lin Qiao stopped and looked at "Jiang Dan" who was still helping her clear the way, and couldn't help but said, "Are you familiar with this?"
The uneasy emotion in her body spread out, and the monster turned around, his face calm. Apart from wearing Jiang Dan's human skin, he had no characteristics of himself.
He comforted: "It's familiar."
However, it cannot remember when it came up from the bottom of the sea, whether it was covered with marine garbage, or when it was disturbed by human fishing boats.
In short, when the main body is entrenched at the bottom of this island, there will be people feeding it regularly, and the monster will become less interested in hunting, too lazy to move, and will generously allow the lower creatures to do whatever they want on it.
If the special smell and color hadn't awakened Him, when the body was cut off, the remaining limbs would have penetrated Lin Qiao's body due to instinctive hunting, mincing her and eating her.
He thought for a while, then walked back and extended his hand to her in a friendly way, "You are scared, I can hold you."
A few minutes ago, this hand had turned into an afterimage and cut down several trees with a scythe.
Lin Qiao seemed to have no choice, holding His hand, "Yes, I'm scared."
There was no warmth in the palm of her hand. She tried her best to control her emotions and glanced away not to think about it.
Suddenly, her gaze paused.
"what is that?"
The monster followed her gaze, and the tentacles in its body split again, squeezed out from the other arm, violently pulled out the machine hidden among the leaves, and handed it to Lin Qiao.
"What is it?" Like a curious baby, He asked innocently, leaning against her face.
Lin Qiao found the camera in her hand more terrifying than the threats around her.
The red light of the fingernail-sized lens flashes for two seconds and then goes out.
She said: "Camera, it turns out there is someone else here besides us."
"Want to take a look? Then you have the water you need." The monster lowered his head, and "Jiang Dan"'s chin lightly pressed against her shoulder, close to the fragile neck.
Lin Qiao tried hard to make his body soft, paused for a few seconds and said: "Go ahead, no one will come to save us anyway, we have to save ourselves and escape from here."
On the one hand, she believed that the depths of the island were probably a laboratory that knew about the existence of monsters, or that it was a private armed force and scientific research team placed here by a super company to specialize in studying monsters.
In short, they are all inseparable from Him.
On the bright side, they must have sufficient escape equipment. Lin Qiao can take the opportunity to get rid of the monster and escape from this desolate place. On the worst side, she and the monster will be shot dead by the person behind the camera.
"Jiang Dan, as my friend, can I ask you for another favor?" She slowly turned her head, looked at the other person's cheek with blood still on his skin, and tried to say to him in a gentle tone: "Those cameras, Can you destroy everything you see?"
He looked around, his soft neck tilted, avoiding the focus of the conversation, "Friends?"
He searched for Jiang Dan's own memory fragments. The wife of the friend he was fraternizing with at the wine table cheated on her. He could help vent his anger on the street with a machete, slashing the woman more than a dozen times, and blood spattered from the fragments.
Lin Qiao looked at his slender vertical pupils, and there was a thin film that closed back and forth many times like a blink of an eye. The cold eyes regrouped, and he smiled at her, "I understand."
The monster said: "The meaning of stabbing someone at both sides is to describe a friend."
Lin Qiao blinked and hummed hesitantly, "It's not about stabbing yourself in the ribs."
She didn't know how much understanding he had, but it was always a bit strange for an idiom to come out of the mouth of a tentacled monster.
"It's a little troublesome, but it's okay."
After the monster said this, Lin Qiao saw an unforgettable scene in his life.
"Jiang Dan" is like a completely broken piece of porcelain. Countless soft and wriggling tentacles instantly burst out from under the skin. When those dark red flesh limbs are fully stretched out, you can't predict how far it can extend with your eyes. .
She could only vaguely see that the tips of the tentacles looked like blooming dragon boat petals. The white teeth with dense core bit the camera hidden among the leaves. The "petals" closed, and in an instant, the camera was pulled off and fell to the ground.
For a moment, the jungle was filled with the heartbreaking clicking sound of machines being destroyed.
"Jiang Dan" also almost completely lost its human shape. Its chest, abdomen, back, and tentacles all exploded, like a sea urchin covered with spikes. Only the rough man's face that remained the same was still staring at her strangely. Keep a 'friendly' (terrible) smile.
Lin Qiao didn't know how much courage it took to hold back and not run away. The fear beyond her cognition made her heart beat fast, and her beating heart rate was invisible to the monster with excellent hearing.
He stretched out a soft tentacle, relieved all his strength, wrapped it softly around her wrist, and rubbed it back and forth soothingly, causing the slightest itch.
The original intention of the monster was to comfort, but in Lin Qiao's opinion, it was a bit like teasing a cat with a stick.
She did not receive much comfort. In addition to the sensory stimulation, she was also worried that her aorta would be bitten off by the opponent's teeth hidden in the flesh if she was not careful.
I hope that the fact that he may not like his own blood can make him restrain his desire to kill her.
After about ten minutes of walking in, the woods were littered with cameras that had been found and destroyed by Tentacles.
Hidden deep inside the biological laboratory, the entire base is filled with red light.
"Warning, foreign object intrusion, distance range is one kilometer, the number of surveillance systems remaining is 20/100."
People were coming and going in the metal corridor in a hurry.
"What it is?!! "
The biometric monitoring data is an ear-piercing alarm.
"Two tons of meat were shipped from Wandering City just a week ago. The Evil God shouldn't be hungry again so soon! Go call Dr. Xiao!"
'Evil God' is their nickname for the creatures on the island, representing evil and irresistible monster gods.
Xiao Du heard the sound and rushed over, "What's going on? The 'evil god' is awake?"
The researcher brought up the biological monitoring panel, "Is it... huh?"
