Volume 1: The Storm of the Sea Chapter 4 The Dawn of Fallen Dreams

In the dim dormitory, lying on the floor, Arezi suddenly opened his eyes, slowly propped up his upper body with his right hand, and leaned on the head of the bed.

"Where is this" Alex shook his not-sober-minded mind, only to feel a tingling pain, and couldn't help but cry out: "Hiss...... My head hurts. ”

A wave of dizziness hit, and Alets couldn't help but feel nauseous, so he had to lie on the edge of the bed again, and began to vomit while relieving the dizziness.

But this vomit, Alletse did sober up a lot, half of it was vomiting filthy things, his body was indeed a lot better, and his dizziness was also relieved, while the other half was shocked that his mind was a lot clearer. What he spat out was not food scraps, but a pool of black mucus, in which something seemed to squirm. This made Allez nauseous again, but he retched for a while but could not vomit again.

Only when the vertigo had subsided, did Alex get up again, but his left side slid sharply, as if his left hand was unconscious. It was then that Alez remembered the events of the previous night.

"My left hand, is it useless" Alez swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at his left shoulder, but was a little surprised: "It's obviously passed through my shoulder, why isn't even my shirt torn?"

But the left hand still didn't seem to exist, and there was no feeling, as if the left side was just a piece of dead flesh, and when I looked closely, the palm of the left hand had turned gray-black. Alez hurriedly rolled up his sleeve with his right hand, only to see a series of pitch-black bulges extending from the cuffs, like veins winding the whole arm, and gradually disappearing at the wrist. At first glance, the skin around the pitch-black veins did not change, but it revealed a dead gray color, giving the impression of a corpse.

"What's going on" Alez suppressed his surprise and forced himself to compose, turning his head to look around him: "I'm still in the dormitory, or even in bed?"

Some vague memories emerged from Alex's mind: he and the others had fallen asleep last night. But this completely conflicts with Hamm's memory of becoming a monster.

"Could it be that I was dreaming before" Alez's thoughts began to be a little confused, but looking at the abnormal change in his left hand, he still had a firm thought: "No, it can't be a dream, otherwise how could my hand become this virtue." ”

Looking at his roommates lying on the bed without making a sound, a chill somehow appeared in Alex's heart, as if the sound he made had never appeared in this world.

He forced another wave of nausea and stepped out of bed, gently shoving the person in the opposite bunk. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from each bed, and the person he touched slowly straightened his upper body and faced him directly.

"Hans, are you awake?" asked Alez as he shifted his steps back to the door, and picked up another short spear. The roommates didn't reply, but rolled out of bed one after another and walked slowly towards him.

Alexi shouted in his heart that it was not good, although he didn't know what was going on, but after all, they were eight people, and it was definitely difficult for him to resist if they made any unfavorable moves, thinking of this, Alletse once again grabbed the door and rushed into the corridor. And the "people" behind him seemed to have been stimulated, let out a low roar, and rushed out one after another.

By the light of the aisle, he could see the changes in several of his roommates: twisted bones in his elbows, front and back arms. The phalanges twisted and grown, breaking through the flesh of the fingertips, forming a pair of skeletal claws that grew a finger long. And there seemed to be black spreading in their eyes, and the whites of their eyes were completely invisible, and their mouths were exaggeratedly grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Could that be...... ...... vomit"

Looking at the black gelatin in their eyes, Alex suddenly thought of the filth he had vomited before, and his stomach churned again, and he almost fell to the ground. The speed of these weirdos was not too fast, and the speed of running was still slightly inferior, and the eight weirdos pushed and shoved in the aisle much slower, which allowed Alez to pull away a distance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alets hurried down the stairs, but when he crossed the corner, what should have been the staircase became another corridor, the same as before.

"Damn, what kind of devil's trick is this?"

Looking at this unexpected situation, Aleti couldn't help but pause, but the low roar and impatient footsteps behind him didn't allow him to think about it, no matter how long the tiger's den was, he could only go up hard. Fortunately, this corridor is really like an ordinary corridor, and there is no floor cavity, monsters or anything like that.

"Oh my God, there's no end to it!"

Another corner, another hallway, another run. And that's not all, round after round. Even if Allet's physique was not bad, even if he arrived on the ship, he didn't forget to train his physical fitness, but after all, he was flesh and blood, and he was already tired and out of breath after so many repetitions, on the other hand, those weirdos seemed to be tireless, always following closely behind, if it weren't for the lack of tacit understanding and no intelligence, Alletse might have caught up, but even so, he couldn't hold on for long.

"Looks like it's over, am I going to die at the hands of monsters without anyone knowing?" Although Alez was still struggling, he inevitably expressed despair in his heart. At that moment, a thought crossed his mind like lightning: "No one...... Why is it so quiet?"

This thought shook Alex's mind like thunder, as if it had pierced a membrane that had been deliberately blocked. "Absolutely not, how can it be that no one knows about such a big movement" A thought became stronger in Alez's mind.

"This ...... It's a dream......"

When these words were spoken, the monsters that rushed forward began to collapse, and wisps of black smoke began to rise and dissipate into the air, and Alex breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little joy: "It's really just a dream, and I finally survived......"

But as soon as he finished speaking, a bone claw passed through the dark smoke screen and slashed heavily on Alex's chest. Alex only felt a violent force wrapped in severe pain, which made him fly several meters away at once, and for a while, even his breath was stagnant.

The black smoke was inhaled by the monster within, revealing the monster's abominable face: a skinless, flesh-and-blood humanoid, covered in a layer of tiny black worms, which kept drilling and wriggling like a transparent film of gray and black. The aggregates on the eyeballs become more visible, writhing and intertwining with the collections in the braincase, like a transportation hub. The arm had become misshapen and slender, the sharp bony claw still protruding, and the left claw was still streaked with bright red blood, which almost pierced Alez's chest. The cross-petal-like mouthparts open and close, taking up almost the entire face, revealing rows of fine serrations.

The monster would not let go of Areci easily, and stepped forward slowly, slashing upwards with its right paw. Unable to dodge, Alex was able to remove his fragile neck, and his claws still grazed the right half of his face, bringing another sharp pain, taking away one of Alex's eyeballs and most of his face.

The monster looked at Alez, who was moaning, and let out a terrible laugh, raised his right hand and loaded the half of the dough into the mouth, instantly grinding it into crumbs and swallowing it into its stomach.

As if with a playful meaning, the monster walked up to Alex, and looked at the painful Aretz as if he was aroused by something. It opened its mouthparts suddenly, protruding a gray-black nematode towards its chest, and before Alez, who was in sharp pain, was drilled straight into Alez's chest by the nematode.

As this nematode burrowed, a gloom suddenly enveloped Alez's heart, and it was a premonition:

"If I let the worms in, I'm going to die!"

"Gotta be... Take it ...... Take it out and ......" Alex wanted to go crazy, picked up the short spear and slashed at his heart, and picked the nematode and flesh to the ground together, and gathered all his strength to crush the nematode for a while.

As the nematode was trampled on, the unknown monster seemed to suffer great pain, and for a while it fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alez clenched the short spear in his right hand and stabbed it fiercely at the monster's mouthparts.

But Aretz still underestimated the monster's endurance and overestimated his own strength, and the monster's left claw swung violently at Arez, not only flying Arezi a few meters away, but also tearing his right arm. The battered Alez was unable to move to the corner, and before he could get back to his feet, the monster opened its mouth again, and shot a large worm half a finger wide at Alez's head.

The right hand was broken, and Aleci subconsciously raised his left hand to block it, miraculously, although his left hand was stiff and numb, he was able to move. But the worm was not picky, and went straight into the palm of Alez's palm, opened a hole half a finger wide, and went up his arm. The worm didn't move quickly, but its flickering was like a bell that was urging him, constantly striking Alez.

What Alez didn't expect was that the speed of the worm was getting slower and slower, and his heart was beating faster and faster, and when the worm stopped completely in his left shoulder, his heart almost exploded. But the worm seemed to be in trouble, not only did it not move an inch, but began to wriggle downward frantically.

"Is there anything you're afraid of?" Although Alez was suffering severe pain, his consciousness was also awake, he remembered the venom left by the previous dream monster Hamm, and thought of the only eight guys besides Hamm who were chasing him this time, and said fiercely: "Hamm and him should not be the same thing, and now that I can't live, why should I bite a piece of meat for you." ”

After saying that, he pressed his palm hard against the ground, and the worm lost most of its strength as if it had been poisoned, and could not escape from the hole, so it could only hit the palm and the ground wildly. And the monster a few meters away also noticed something, and crashed into it like crazy.

"Come on, death won't let you go!" Alex also roared at the monster in such a frenzy that it pulled into the stabbed lung, and let out a coughing sound.

Approaching the monster, Alex closed his eyes, he still didn't have the courage to really face death. Just before the impact, the worm in his left hand finally stopped moving, ending its life, and as soon as the worm died, Alets seemed to have let go of his burden, and opened his eyes again with the intention of dying generously.

However, the fluttering monster slowly disintegrated into black smoke in the air, leaving only a skeleton that smashed into Alex's body, knocking him unconscious.
