Chapter 236: Unnatural Creatures
After the tsunami, the buildings and asphalt were covered with a thick layer of salt, which glistened in the sun.
Footsteps on it, leaving a rustling sound.
"Why is the body gone?"
As Suray continues to advance, new strange phenomena are constantly being discovered.
Above the ruins, only bloodstains and raged clothing could be seen, while the dead were nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that someone collected all the bodies before he came?
Stopping to look, Su Lei found that in many places in the ruins, there were traces of lying on different sizes.
It seems that this is the location of the corpse, the traces left by the movement.
However, there were no footprints around, only rows of fine shallow ditches, like the appearance of a flood that had faded.
If you put aside these doubts, the answer is obvious.
The only possibility is that the remaining survivors, fearing the outbreak of the plague after the disaster, disposed of the corpses in advance.
That's all Su Lei can think of.
The crooked signal tower is already in full view.
Sulei approached quickly, and the signal tower was built on top of a small three-story building.
The small building was fortunately saved in the earthquake, and the windows were shattered, the doors were deformed, and the overall structure was not damaged.
At the gate, there are strings of messy footprints, and there are also scattered drinking water, bread and other daily necessities.
Judging by the indications, there may be survivors in the small building.
Su Lei stood outside the door, because of the backlight, he could only see a black hole inside the gate, and a cool breath was blowing from inside.
"Hey, is there anyone in there?"
Su Lei stood in the doorway and shouted, maybe the people inside needed their own help.
“......”
No one responded.
Feeling distracted, Su Lei was about to take a closer look, but was interrupted by a vibration from his phone.
Buzz –
The phone vibrate, and Su Lei took out his phone and found that there were dozens of missed calls on it.
Most of them are from Geralt, but also Epheria, Nolan and others.
After thinking about it, Suray first gave Ephelia a back.
"Hey, Ephelia?"
"Ah, Sue, your call finally went through, I thought something was going on. ”
As soon as the phone was connected, Ephelia's concerned voice came.
"It was my negligence, I was recently exploring with Geralt in the mountains behind the farm, so my phone was out of signal. ”
Su Lei thought about it, this trip he came out was indeed an expedition, but the location changed.
"Adventure?"
Epheria's tone was noticeably raised, "I like it the most, you must bring me next time." ”
"Aren't you still filming?"
"It's almost over, by the way, Director Nolan has woken up, he is very grateful to you and wants to invite you to visit the crew. ”
"Honey, I'm afraid not, I guess it will take a while before I get out. ”
"Alright, Sue, be sure to take me next time. ”
"I promise, dear. ”
Su Lei explained, and then hung up quickly.
The second call was back to Nolan.
As soon as they connected, Nolan thanked Sure, his voice full of gratitude.
"Nolan, I haven't agreed to your invitation yet. ”
Suray apologized.
"It's okay, when the movie comes out, I'll leave you a few premiere tickets. ”
"I'll go. ”
Suray finally gave Geralt a turn.
"Geralt, what's the matter?"
Sulei sat on the steps, the wind blowing from the door behind him was cool.
"Because of the earthquake, the signal was cut off. ”
"Boss, yesterday the people from the Santini company have already come and are very satisfied with the crops on the farm, and the head of their R&D department asked me to tell you that he is confident that he will develop a product that will shock the market. ”
Geralt reports to Suray on yesterday's work.
"One more thing, it could cause a little trouble for the boss. ”
"Of course, if you haven't met the boss yet, you're just very lucky. ”
Geralt sorted out the language.
"Boss, I've consulted some books that are circulating among witchers. ”
"A diary left by a senior who had participated in the eradication of the Calamity. ”
"There was a terrifying creature on it. ”
"Under the influence of the power of calamity, misfortune and pain merge, and eventually something called the Calamity Beast is born. ”
"In short, it's unnatural creatures. ”
And this thing?
"Tell me more about it. ”
"They are the vanguard of the gods of calamity, born to feed on misfortune and suffering, to kill all creatures they see, and then devour their lives. ”
"They come in all shapes, but they all have one characteristic, which is their ugly face. ”
"The negative energy of the Calamity Force, although it gives them an invulnerable body, also completely makes them hide in the shadows. ”
"Pain goes hand in hand with night, misfortune goes hand in hand with life. ”
Geralt read the vague words in the book.
"Boss, can you hear me?"
"If you come across these things, you'd better hide first, I haven't found a solution to them yet. ”
"I've been trying to tell you this, but I haven't been able to get through to you. ”
"Hey, boss. ”
Geralt patted into the microphone of his phone, "Boss, can you hear me?"
But there was no response for a long time.
There's a signal, is the phone broken?
Geralt looked at the old phone in his hand, "Awan, will you fix the phone?"
Ah Wan, who was squatting in the corner and reading the witcher's book in a daze, quickly stood up.
"My lord, Awan is useless, he can't repair his phone. ”
Waving his hand, Geralt coughed dryly, but he asked casually.
It's hard for the kids.
"Geralt ......"
At this time, Su Lei's voice came from the mobile phone.
"You can go to the lottery station in town and buy a ticket. ”
Su Lei's voice was full of incredulity, "The guy you just said really made me bump into ......"
Knock –
Geralt's phone fell on the table.
"This guy, it's funny, I'll play with it for a while. ”
Su Lei's voice came, "I'll hang up first." ”
Just as he was talking, Su Lei suddenly heard a slight movement in the corridor behind him.
At first, he thought it was someone who was injured, but as the sound of movement approached, Su Lei felt the wind behind him getting colder and colder.
Tangerine, who was napping on the side, also turned around, bowed up, and looked behind him.
Surey turned, squinting at Geralt as he spoke.
In the dark hallway, the ruptured water pipe on the roof was dripping with water.
Pap-
In the silence, the sound of water droplets was so clear, and the sound of movement was equally clear.
It's like a millipede moving, and the movement sound is dense and tight.
After more than ten seconds, the moving creature finally revealed its full form.
Su Lei, who saw the whole picture of the creature, couldn't help but widen his eyes, so much so that he ignored Geralt's shouts on the phone.
"What's this TM?"
Su Lei muttered.
The orange also poked its head out and looked at it curiously.
