Chapter 81
At this time, the terrible howls outside came one after another, and there were already tragic deaths and disappearances, and no one dared to go outside.
The only ones who can still maintain their composure are Chen Xiao and a few other companions. After all, Chen Xiao, Xu Ershao, Cabbage and others have experienced being kidnapped, and their psychological tolerance is stronger. Xiao Qing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his bearing is naturally different from ordinary people, and he is ...... Well, she doesn't seem to understand what's going on right now.
The first floor of the villa was like a hotel lobby, and although there was a lot of howling outside at the moment, it seemed that the unknown beasts did not seem to approach immediately from the position of the sound......
"Lights!"
Xiao Qing suddenly said this!
This sentence immediately reminded Chen Xiao.
Oh, yes! Lamplight!
For any beast, light and fire will always be something that Beast Heaven fears! After this prompt, Chen Xiao immediately ran over quickly, and turned on all the light switches behind the villa hall in one go.
Not only in the hall of the villa, but even the open-air lampposts outside the villa were all lit up.
Soon, it seemed to be in response to Chen Xiao's actions, and the howling voices outside became a little more fearful, and faintly, it seemed that the sound was retreating from afar.
"Everybody go to the tool room!" Chen Xiao made a decision. Holding him by the hand, he led everyone along the corridor on one side of the hall and began to run towards the tool room.
The tool room is indeed the only room in the area, as the staff member said, that is relatively enclosed. The tool room is located on the side of the villa. It's only about ten paces away and it's a separate room. The main gate is a security door with a steel plate embedded inside, which is said to have a certain fireproof function, and it should be very strong.
The room is not big, only about 20 square meters, and there are a lot of cleaning utensils, buckets, and brooms on a row of tool racks. Mop, vacuum cleaner. There are also some gardening tools, shovels, weeders and more, in addition to some stored water pipes and spare lines.
Chen Xiao flipped through it for a while, and finally found something that he thought was useful. First of all, a few thick field coveralls. It was the middle of the night, and it was still quite cold on the island in the lake, so he gave a few overalls to the girls. And flashlights...... Now you can do it for everyone.
As for the shovel, he took one himself, and gave another one to Xu Ershao to hold. It can be used as a weapon when necessary. He glanced at Xiao Qing when he was distributing weapons, and gestured with his eyes, but Xiao Qing just smiled faintly, indicating that he didn't need it.
The only hidden danger is the windows.
The windows in the tool room are not big, and as the staff introduced, there is a row of iron fences on the windows, but in Chen Xiao's opinion, that row of iron fences is far from strong enough! It is doubtful how much defense a finger-thick iron fence can have in the face of a large beast.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment. Together with a few men, I moved the shelves in the room to block the window - although the tool rack is also framed, at least it's better than nothing.
After a while, the howling around me seemed to have finally subsided, but the room was still filled with panic. Some people still dial back and forth with their mobile phones, knowing that the signal has been cut off, but still doing this futile thing, as if trying to grasp even a glimmer of hope.
Chen Xiao sat in the corner of the wall, picked up the map of the island and looked at it carefully, Xu Ershao next to him stared at him, his eyes were a little uneasy......
Sure enough, about half an hour passed. At this moment, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
Chen Xiao stood up. Glancing at everyone: "From now on, everyone must stay here." No one leaves! ”
He said this, but he walked to the door and glanced back at Xu Ershao: "Xiao Xu, you stay here, from now on, everyone must listen to your command, remember, no one is allowed to leave here, stay here, and wait until dawn!" My guess is that those strange animals should not dare to move during the day, and maybe they will be safe after dawn. Anyway, hold on for a few hours! ”
"You...... What about you? Do you want to ......" Xu Ershao strode over and grabbed Chen Xiaodi's arm.
"I'm going out to find someone!" Chen Xiao's expression was very resolute: "No matter what, Xiaojin and Lu Xiaoxiao are here with us!" Can't just throw them away!! ”
Hearing this, Xu Ershao's face changed, he stared at Chen Xiao's eyes, and immediately said, "Okay!" I'll go with you! You can't do it alone! ”
"Stop making a fuss!!" Chen Xiao suddenly became angry, he suddenly pushed Xu Ershao to the ground with force, and roared in a low voice: "Xiao Xu! Now is not the time for righteousness! You're not as good as me, and it's useless to go! I need to be the leader here! There are so many people here...... Need a lead! You went, what about the cabbage? What about him? Do you want to leave them here? ”
Saying that, he glanced at Xu Ershao The other staff members, both men and women, all looked panicked, Chen Xiao didn't feel at ease about leaving his female companion here with these panicked people - God knows what people would do in a panicked mood.
"I ......" Cabbage was about to say that she wanted to go with Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao had already glared at her unceremoniously: "Shut up!" Cabbage! Then his voice softened: "I know you want to help, then, please be here to help me take care of you, and take care of everyone." ”
Xu Ershao saw a trace of absoluteness in the eyes of his dead friend, and he knew that Chen Xiao would never change his mind.
"So...... I should be qualified to go with you. ”
Xiao Qing, who didn't speak next to him, suddenly said this faintly.
"You?" Chen Xiao glanced at Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing smiled faintly. The eyes were bright: "Don't forget, your skills are far worse than mine, you can go." Why can't I. ”
In this way, Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing left the tool room, and before leaving, they seemed to finally feel a little wrong: "Chen Xiao...... You ......"
"Stay here." Chen Xiao smiled softly, hugged her gently, and touched her hair: "I'll go out to find something, you have to listen to Xiao Xu and Cabbage obediently." Got it? ”
As he spoke, he leaned into his ear and lowered his voice and admonished, "If you encounter danger...... Just discharge! ”
"Where are we going?" Walking out of the tool room and returning to the villa hall along the corridor, Xiao Qing followed behind Chen Xiao and suddenly asked.
"Go back to my room first, I'm going to get a few things."
In Chen Xiao's room, he quickly took out his suitcase - under Xiao Qing's curious eyes, Chen Xiao changed into a pair of black leather boots, a headset and a single glass. Put on a leather suit.
"It's a pity, parallel suits. There's no weapon to attack xìng. Chen Xiao was a little depressed. glanced at Xiao Qing: "There must be a kitchen here, let's go find a knife." ”
"Knives? No need. Xiao Qing was suddenly willing to turn around, pinched out the belt buckle on his waist with one hand, and jerked it hard......
Swish!
After seeing a cold light, Xiao Qing already had a slender sword in his hand! The metal texture of this sword seems to be some kind of mild steel, as thin as a piece of paper!
"Soft sword?" Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment.
"I've always carried it with me." Xiao Qing didn't seem to want to say more.
Chen Xiao glanced at Xiao Qing twice, didn't ask anything more, took out the map and spread it out.
"Look, I've been thinking about it all the time, since there are big beasts on this island. Then there must be a nest! But we have only been thinking about finding the missing person just now, and we have not cared about that. I looked at the map carefully, and there was indeed a cave on the island under that hillside, but it was very small. It is marked on the map that at the time of development, the cave was treated and now serves as the resort's wine cellar......"
"Wine cellar?" Xiao Qing frowned: "Have you seen that place when we were looking for the place just now?" ”
"We didn't go, but other staff went there to look for them and said they didn't find anyone missing...... But the problem is, I always feel that if there is a cave of wild beasts on the island. Then this place seems to be the best choice - for the beast. ”
Xiao Qing was silent for a while: "Then what are you waiting for." Go ahead. ”
The two of them walked out of the room, and suddenly they heard a "bang"!
The faces of the two changed slightly! It was clearly the sound of glass windows shattering. ===== The sound is coming from upstairs!
"It seems that the beasts can't stand it anymore." Chen Xiao said quickly: "The lights can't scare them for too long!" They're starting to break into the villa! ”
"Like prey?" Xiao Qing sneered.
The two of them rushed to the top of the stairs and ran back to the hall, only to see that the glass door of the hall had shattered, and there were some dirt-stained footprints on the ground. The footprint was large, about three fingers.
"They're in! Let's go! After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he took Xiao Qing's hand, and the two of them quickly rushed out of the door and came to the barbecue grill outside......
Rumble!
The flames quickly burst out, Chen Xiao picked up a pile of barbecue charcoal stored on the ground and threw it all in, seeing that the flames were vigorous, he bent down, grabbed the base of the barbecue stove, and lifted a barbecue grill!
"Let's go! This thing is best used as a torch, and it also drives away wild beasts. Chen Xiao smiled.
"I'm afraid they'll bring those beasts in coming." Xiao Qing sighed.
Chen Xiao stopped and said very seriously: "I really think that you should go back!" Such a dangerous thing......"
"Looks like you're trying to get those things out of the way on purpose, aren't you?" Xiao Qing smiled slightly, but shook his head: "Let's go, since I came out with you, I won't go back." Besides...... A few beasts, I'm not afraid! ”
Chen Xiao saw that Xiao Qingdi's eyes did not waver. I could only sigh: "Let's go, we can't go into the woods, let's walk along the lake." ”
He knows it well. With so many beasts looking around, it is too dangerous to enter the woods, it is better to walk along the lake, the terrain is more open, if there is a beast attack, you can see clearly, otherwise the ground is ...... In the jungle, there is absolutely no beast that knows how to use the environment better.
The barbecue in the hand weighs several kilograms. But for Chen Xiaodi's C-level strength ability, although he can't overturn the car now, it is still very easy to walk with such a thing.
The lake is about ten meters away from the woods, and the two of them walked carefully along the lake for about five minutes......
"You feel it, right?" Xiao Qing suddenly spoke.
"Hmm......" Chen Xiao nodded.
In the woods more than ten meters away, in the rustle of leaves, Chen Xiao vaguely felt a few black shadows rushing past.
"Five." Xiao Qing frowned: "It seems that he has been following us, but he is probably afraid of the furnace in your hand, so he doesn't dare to attack." ”
Chen Xiao held the stove in one hand and the shovel in the other.
A handful of charcoal was lost in the stove. But the fire can't last forever. Luckily, we were soon down that hillside.
The cave is on the back side of the lake and is not difficult to find.
The cave had been rearranged at the time of development, leaving an oval row of wooden doors at the entrance of the cave, which was said to be effective in preventing the penetration of cháo wet, and the cave was re-planked. The result is a backlit space that is perfect for storing some food and wine - a natural vault, so to speak. After all, the electricity on the island is supplied by generators, which is more energy-efficient than setting up an electric cold storage.
The door to the cellar was unlocked, and the deadbolt was gently pushed open. The heavy wooden door slowly opened with a creaking sound. There was a faint chill coming out of the air, and there was a faint strange smell in the air.
"Do you smell it? It seems like...... Smelly? Chen Xiao frowned: "Could it be that the food inside has gone bad?" ”
The two of them walked to the cave less than half a meter, and suddenly they heard a "bang" from inside!!
It seems to be the sound of glass shattering in a wine bottle?!
The two looked at each other. At the same time, he ran inside......
The cellar is not deep, after running more than a dozen steps, it is a circular space, the walls are treated with anti-cháo, and the ground is paved with a layer of wood to prevent cháo, and in the cave, the scene in front of you is:
A row of wine racks had been knocked down, and the floor was full of broken wine bottles. All the drinks spilled. The air was filled with a strong smell of wine...... And other than that..."Where did that fishy smell come from?" Chen Xiao frowned and shook the stove. Look around by the light of the fire.
At this time, suddenly he felt Xiao Qing behind him hold his breath and gently poke his shoulder.
Xiao Qing's voice carried a hint of nervousness: "Above! ”
Chen Xiao looked up and saw a black shadow curled up in the corner on the top of the cave......
The space of the cave is about seven or eight meters high, and in the corner of the circular cave, it is the farthest place from the furnace in Chen Xiao's hand, and a raised rock has become the best barrier to block the fire.
And in this corner, the shadow of the black sè was finally seen clearly by Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing!
The two of them couldn't help but gasp at the same time!!
What is this?!
A pair of long wings folded and curled up, covered with black sè feathers, hung upside down on the roof of the cave, head down...... It can be clearly seen that its feet are three-petaled limbs, and there are sharp hooks that hook the gaps in the rock, so that its body can be firmly hung on them.
And the ends of its wings seem to have upper limbs that resemble human palms, and the ends of its slender claws are also sharp black sè bone hooks!
The scariest thing is its head...... This head made Chen Xiao immediately affirm: it is definitely not a bird!
The head was triangular, but there was not a single hair on it. The outline of her facial features easily reminds Chen Xiao of an animal that she often sees in the countryside in summer......
Bat!
It's just that this head is a little different from a bat. First of all, the head of the bat is definitely not so big, and it is grinning at Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing below, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, those eyes bulge out like frogs, and a sharp chirp came out of its mouth, and there seemed to be intimidation and fear in that voice.
Moreover...... Bats shouldn't have those long black feathers on their bodies!
From the eye, the form of this monster. It's about a meter long when you curl up there!
Judging from the common sense that Chen Xiao knew, in the south, at least in the area where K City is located, it is impossible for such a large, bat-like creature to appear!
"It seems to be afraid of us." Xiao Qing moved his steps carefully, holding a soft sword in his hand.
Sure enough, as the two of them turned around, the monster above also carefully changed its angle, but its feet were always hooked on the crack in the rock in the corner, and the screaming sound was sharper and more piercing......
Suddenly. Chen Xiao suddenly remembered a thought in his heart.
"Not good! It's calling for companions! ”
As soon as he said this, he vaguely heard a commotion outside the cave!
"Door!!" Chen Xiao rushed towards the door quickly, and when he rushed to the door, he saw a few black shadows outside in the night, rushing over!
He only had time to press his body against the door and try to close it, when he heard a "bang bang bang" sound outside!
A series of collisions, the strength is surprisingly great! Chen Xiao stumbled and almost couldn't resist the door! The door was slammed open a crack, and immediately a sharp claw poked through the gap! Chen Xiao was defenseless. was hooked by a sharp claw on the shoulder, and immediately snorted in pain! There was a bloody mark on the shoulder, along with the skin and flesh of the clothes!
As if stimulated by the smell of blood, there was a high-pitched howl from outside!
Finally, Chen Xiao struggled to hold the door up. And behind him, there was Xiao Qing's cheer!
"Watch the back!"
Chen Xiao turned around and saw a black shadow rushing towards him, and he only had time to turn his head sideways......
Snatch!!
The sharp claws clawed the wooden door, and the thick wooden door was actually scratched out of a deep trace, and even the sawdust was scratched out! The monster hiding in the corner had already rushed down, and as soon as he didn't catch it, he opened his mouth and bit down hard at Chen Xiao's neck!
At this time, Xiao Qing had already rushed to his side. Raise your hand. Brush the ground and stab it with a sword!
Sonor!
This sword was fast and accurate, and the blade of the sword was actually exactly across Chen Xiaodi's neck! The monster bit down on the blade. Chen Xiao hurriedly shrank away from the body. And Xiao Qing had already sneered: "Die!" ”
With a slight flick of his wrist and a spin of his sword, he heard a scream from the monster......
It bit down on the blade, but as the blade rotated, it immediately twisted its mouth to pieces! The monster screamed in pain, and immediately sprang up again, rushing to the top corner of the cave.
On the ground, a few pieces of minced flesh were seen, as if it were its tongue, and two sharp fangs that had been severed!!
Xiao Qing succeeded with a sword, and he refused to give up, and suddenly rushed towards the wall, taking advantage of his habit, jumped onto the wall in a few steps, and then stabbed at the monster in the corner with a sword in the air!
She jumped up with a sword, and her posture was extremely stretched, like a big bird! The sword light flashed, and it was really the strength of a first-class master! Although the monster is agile, where can it dodge? Immediately stabbed in the body with a sword!
It's just that this moment inspired its fierceness, screamed, spread its wings, and pounced fiercely towards Xiao Qing instead!
Chen Xiao was on the side, seeing that the monster was about to pounce on Xiao Qing's body, he hurriedly went up and hugged her and rolled away on the spot, and even kicked the monster in his busy schedule.
Bang!
The monster was kicked to the corner of the ground wall, and its head was bleeding, but this time it finally had no strength to fight back.
Its face and mouth were smashed by the blade of the sword, a sword was stabbed in the chest, and it was hit by Chen Xiao's corner, its head bloomed, it was full of blood, and it struggled a few times, and it couldn't get up.
Chen Xiao walked over cautiously, stretched out his leg and kicked it twice, the monster struggled, and could only weakly scream in intimidation at Chen Xiao's bloody mouth, but it couldn't move anymore.
Both young men were a little frightened. Although Xiao Qing is strong in martial arts, she obviously stabbed the monster with a sword just now, but this thing is so fierce, she was hit by a fatal sword but actually pounced on it, which suddenly made Xiao Qing a little at a loss - no matter how good she is, she is just a girl, so it is inevitable that she will be a little panicked. If it weren't for Chen Xiao rushing over and hugging her to dodge, although she might not be hurt by the monster, it would be inevitable that her face would be broken.
"Hell...... What the hell is this! Chen Xiao gasped softly—not tired, but excited.
"The body is like an eagle, the wings are like a bat, and the head is like a ......" Xiao Qing frowned and thought for a while: "Like a combination of a monkey and a bat." ”
And at this moment, the wooden door next to him came with the sound of ping-pong collision, and the force of the collision was bigger and bigger! It's as if the monster outside has gone crazy and tries to break in!
In the thudding sound, the thick wooden doors were shaking, and the dust fell from the part of the door frame......
Chen Xiao's heart suddenly moved, staring at the dying monster on the ground, and gently pressed the button on the headset......
Soon, he just had a flash in his heart, and he didn't have any hope to try, but he didn't expect the probe to really react to this monster!
Above the lens of the left eye, a video screen soon appeared, and then a string of symbols and numbers flashed rapidly......
Owl.
Grade: Grade D.
Good at attack skills, strength C level, speed C level. Endurance D level. Intelligence E-level. Energy level E grade.
Database known class, primary form biochemical beast. Good at jumping and flying, minions attacking.
Special Ability: Bloodthirsty Evolution.
A large number of symbols flowed quickly below, all of which were analyses of the monster's body, strength, contours, bones, body shape, etc., etc., and the data was actually very comprehensive!!
The last string of text is:
"Biochemical beasts are known to be at present, and the system has determined that they are hostile!"
Cyborgs? Enmity?
