Chapter 16: The Rafflesia Baby (Part II)
As I ran, I looked up the corpse mountain, and a strange baby pulled an arm and tried to pull out the corpse buried halfway up the mountain, but it raised its head and tore the arm off the corpse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The strange baby couldn't take it anymore, fell on his back, rolled all the way down the mountainside, and cried when he opened his bloody mouth, and the sound was like stepping on a cat's tail.
If you take a bite of this thing, you will never forget it. I shuddered.
At this time, Li Zong had already run to the end of the tree with Wen Ya on his back, and due to the delay I had just made, we were still running as hard as we could in the middle of the tree root. I took the moment to glance back, and the white-pressed baby had encroached on the end of the stone platform where the roots of the tree were attached, and it was rushing towards us like a tide.
Suddenly, something "whoosh" jumped over our heads. I looked up and saw that it was the blood-red umbilical cord that went straight to Wenya and Li Zong! In an instant, the umbilical cord strangled Wen Ya's neck and pulled it back.
"Urbane!" Li Zong chased after him like crazy. We were all stunned by what was happening in front of us. Manji's father rushed up and wanted to stop Li Zong, but was knocked to the ground by Li Zong's punch, and Jiajia also fell out. Li Zong ran back desperately, a group of strange babies rushed to climb on his body, gnawing on them, Li Zong waved his arms to shake them off, but after throwing off one, more climbed up, the terrible screams shook my eardrums, and after a while Li Zong was completely drowned.
I watched Li Zong's body being dismembered, and my mind went blank.
"Run!" Manji's father picked up Jiajia again, grabbed me who was scared stupidly, and motioned for us to run away. However, at this time, I was completely immersed in shock and couldn't come back to my senses, my head was full of images of Li Zong being submerged, and tears fell down in large pieces.
Daddy Manji grabbed my face and used his last patience to say to me word by word: "Ono, look at me, we want to survive!" "I came back to my senses, yes, there is still Manji's father, and Jiajia, I can't delay any longer.
We ran along the roots of the tree all the way back to where we had first fallen. But where do we go now? The roots of the tree that had slipped down before were too steep for Jiajia and I to climb up at all.
I was at a loss for what to do, but there was a "clucking" sound in the dark corner behind the roots of the tree.
"Won't it be a freak baby? ...... "I nervously hid behind Manji's father. But I saw a pair of tentacles stretched out, and then, a giant cockroach crawled out, touched the tentacles, and ran away. I want to cry without tears, have you ever seen a cockroach the size of a water tank?
"Keep up with it!" Manji's father exclaimed in surprise.
I was shocked: "Why? ”
"Insects have a natural instinct to avoid disasters, hurry, don't let it run away!" After speaking, he pulled me to catch up. We followed the giant cockroaches from side to side, and sure enough, after a while, we encountered an army of frantically migrating insects. At that moment, my heart was shocked and disgusted. However, the monster baby was much faster than we thought, and it was already biting and catching up, and the bugs that fell behind were swallowed in one bite.
I was so anxious that I was out of breath. Turning over a large raised tree root, I was almost exhausted. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the sound of the river was heard in my ears. I looked at Manji's father and was overjoyed! If you find an underground river, there must be an outlet.
But he didn't care about any more joy, and the shrill screams were already behind him. Daddy Manji's beads of sweat the size of a bean clenched my hand tightly.
Finally, the river is right in front of you. The insects "plopped" and jumped into the river. Manji's father put down Jiajia and pushed her into the water. Turning his head to say something to me, suddenly a white figure jumped out from behind him and bit him on the arm. Manji's father shook it in pain and threw the strange baby out. "Get in the water!" He shouted loudly and pushed me into the water, jumping himself off. I was not good at water, but fortunately the river was not deep, and it only reached my chest, and I swam and half-pedaled forward. After feeling like I had swam some distance, I looked back at the shore and saw that the babies had gathered on the shore, screaming and screaming, but not coming down. It turns out that these freaks are afraid of water, no wonder the bugs jump into the water. Finally escaped.
Manji's father had already fished Jiajia to the surface, and we floated a little more and found a shallow beach and went ashore. I patted Jiajia and was still unconscious. I tried my nose, and it was fine, but it was just too weak. I took off my coat, wrung out the water, and put it on her, then turned back to check on Papa Manji's wounds. Tearing open the torn cuffs, I saw a row of tooth marks more than 10 centimeters long, the flesh had been turned out, and it was a little white from the river blistering. Father Manji's face was tired, and he closed his eyes and remained silent. At the moment, there is no medical gauze that can treat the wound, so everything can only wait until it returns to the surface and then make plans.
I don't know what day it is now, or if it's dawn outside. The bugs had dispersed, and the cave was quiet. I carefully recalled everything that had happened along the way, thinking that the five of us were happily eating grilled fish, making awkward troubles because of missing the car, eating and drinking at my grandmother's house, and before going to bed, Manji's father sent me "I miss you". And now, Li Zong is dead, Wen Ya is fierce and auspicious, Jiajia is unconscious, Manji's father is injured, and only I am still intact...... When I think about it, I feel sad from it.
"Ono ......" I don't know when, Daddy Manji sat next to me. I couldn't hold back my tears and leaned on his shoulder.
"I'm scared, I'm afraid of losing your ......"
Daddy Manji put his chin against my forehead, and the warm breath surrounded me, and whispered, "You won't lose mine, you won't......"
After a short rest, we decided it would be better to get out of the tree hole and get back to the surface as soon as possible. Manji's father carried Jiajia on his back, and we trekked again. Fortunately, the farther away from the center of the tree, the thinner the roots of the tree, and there is no need to climb high or low, but the river bank is getting narrower and narrower, and the river is gradually turbulent. Manji's father was already struggling with Jiajia on his back, and I had to take care of myself.
Walking, there is no road ahead.
"I had to go down to the river." Manji's father glanced at the river, put Jiajia down, picked up a stone and threw it into the river. The stone sinks to the bottom of the river with a clatter.
"It should be okay, although the current is fast, fortunately, the depth is not deep, you hold on to the shore and walk slowly. Be careful. Manji's father still asked again uneasily. I nodded violently, just wanting to get out of this damn place quickly.
So, I went down to the river first, and Manji's father protected Jiajia on his chest, and then followed. The road on the shore is not easy to walk, and from time to time sharp objects will pierce my feet, and I don't know if it is a stone or a tree root.
"Ono, wait." Father Manji suddenly lowered his voice and called out to me eagerly.
I was stunned, and my nerves immediately tensed. "What's wrong?"
Dad Manji pointed with his hand, and then I noticed that on the water in front of me, there were clumps of black hair-like things floating, even though the water was turbulent, and the black substance was swaying one after another, but it would not flow away. We were confronted in the water, and no one dared to cross the thunder pool.
Suddenly, a lump of black matter sprang towards us, sinking and disappearing on the surface of the water that was approaching. I couldn't say it in my heart, but before I could react, I felt a tremendous force that grabbed me by the feet and dragged me into the water. The water was over my head in an instant, and the huge current of water rushed against my eardrums and into my nostrils, and I couldn't breathe, so I could only let the water carry me around, until I was hit with a gold star in my eyes, and I almost lost consciousness.
Suddenly, his body was light, as if he was weightless, and he couldn't catch anything by kicking his hands and feet, and I don't know how long it took, and the back ushered in a violent impact. Then, it continued to sink and sink, but suddenly I felt a quiet place around me, and a deep sadness permeated from the bottom of my heart. Why is there such a sad feeling?
"Ono, Ono......" A man's voice was extremely low, and he only felt as if his normal speech speed had been slowed down countless times.
"Who is it?" I wanted to ask, but I couldn't open my mouth, and my voice only echoed in my heart. Suddenly, I "saw" a head approaching quickly, and I took a sharp breath and opened my eyes.
I'm sitting at a computer desk with the computer turned on and the cursor jumping through a word document full of text.
What is it? I dragged the mouse close to my face to see what was written in the document, when I heard a "bang" outside the room. I hurriedly got up and pulled the door open.
A back, sitting in front of another computer, typing with a thunderbolt, and a piece of code was displayed on the computer screen.
"Excuse me......"
Before I could say "ask", I saw the back drag the chair and take a step back, stood up, stretched a long lazy waist, opened a door next to me, and walked straight out.
