Chapter 146: I'm so hungry
Rosemary's mind went blank.
She's not the only one stimulated, and not all A-class paraphiles view the same sex. Love's gaze is normal, their eyes are written with contempt, their expressions are disgusted, and some people want to abuse.
Their brains are confused, and the others are sober, and they can't wait for these guys to cover their mouths.
"Are you crazy? The two S-ranks of the Black Abyss originally had demonic nicknames. Do you think you're living too long and want a body bag made of mycelium? β
ββ¦β¦ They were supposed to go to hell in the first place. β
Muttering a few foul words of slang, they turned their heads and gave in once more.
When the explosion happened, everyone thought they were going to die.
People who haven't experienced it won't understand that kind of fear. The raging magma rose from the flames, some people had their heads burned, and some people were just rubbed by the air waves, and their skin was red and scalded...... No one gloated over the death of the red scorpion, their hearts were full of remorse and resentment.
Remorseful for participating in this encirclement plan, resentful of the giant spider world opening the passage at this time. The powerful ability not only did not let them call for wind and rain and reach the peak of life, but dragged them together and finally sent them to death?
When people woke up from a coma and survived the illness, the shadow of death still hung over their hearts, and their spirits were sluggish, and there was no longer the idea of "trying how good the S-class is", and the change was so obvious that it was like a different person.
How to survive is what they are most concerned about.
The environment here is much harsher than on the Kabadusian plateau, and if something happens to the water adepts in the middle of the team, everyone will die of thirst, and if the monsters don't come and attack them in time, they will starve to death if they lack food.
Everyone looked at the mushrooms that blocked the hollow of the canopy and hung down all the way, and their feelings were very complicated.
In ancient times, there was the Tower of Babel, could it be that their hope of "going home" and "surviving" was to devour mushrooms with the help of Babel?
-- On the plateau of Kabadusia, most of the people have observed the strange, upside-down mushroom. For those who have never seen a hollow, it is hard to imagine what kind of phenomenon this is, and they thought that mushrooms wanted to grow to the sky.
Even the stupidest people have guessed that mushrooms have the ability to travel through space in addition to the devouring ability. This strange "mushroom tower" with the same shape as the one on the surface of the plateau is the passage.
Everyone turned their gaze to the water powerhouse from the Caribbean island nation, who now had the most right to speak, even if the black abyss had to respect the only water powerhouse.
However, this person only speaks Spanish......
In fact, when he realized his "extraordinary" status, this water powerhouse's eyes really lit up and he felt that the opportunity had come. I had several ideas in my heart, and when I saw the mushroom tower, my thoughts vanished again.
Mushrooms are not very honest, there is nothing to eat in the desert, they are restless.
The fragrant reserve of grain is right in front of you...... But the owner subconsciously didn't move their mouths.
Bear with me?
But I can't take it anymore! The mushrooms that block the hollow fight the giant insects in the void can also get some nutrients, and the mushrooms that fall close to the ground wilt, the caps shrink, dry like firewood.
In one day, everyone watched as the mushroom "tree" shrank by half.
The Adepts were even more uneasy.
They want to find Johnson, who has red hair and blue eyes. Brown asks when he can get out of here and if the Tower of Babel can still walk, but as soon as they get closer, the protagonist boy turns and runs.
ββ¦β¦β
Who the hell is this timid little ghost?!
Of course, Johnson is not timid, he is just avoiding trouble, these things that people have done before, he is not unaware, he has "cooperated" with Li Fei Jianhua twice to save his life, even if he has not completely let go of his vigilance against Li Fei and mushrooms, but in front of strangers and people who have been with him for a few days, he does not hesitate to choose.
The fact that the protagonist was abducted by the villain created a new wave of blows.
"How so?" Rosemary muttered to herself.
Someone sneered behind his back, how could it not, Johnson in the original book was not very smart, and was used by the American Abnormal Energy Bureau to deceive him.
"Hurakan is still a child, how many brains can a child have?"
Rosemary glared viciously at the person who spoke, she was only two years older than the main character, Johnson was a child, what was she?
After speculating about the anxiety of the American Powers Bureau, everyone remembers the predicament in front of them.
Rosemary was the last of them to recover, and when they regained their strength and abilities, Geng Khotan Cheng Lao did not come again, and the back of the dunes seemed to be divided into two groups, bounded by a bonfire, and the atmosphere was strange.
When Li Fei saw Cheng Lao coming over, he tried to hold Jian Hua's hand, and reluctantly changed his posture so that Cheng Lao could carefully observe Jian Hua's face.
Thanks to Cheng Lao's special ability, where would I find a stethoscope at this time?
Cheng Lao is old and has not been sick, and he has sighed his luck several times.
"The heart rate is too slow, the body function is declining, feed him something."
ββ¦β¦ Only water. Li Fei was very worried, not to mention the roasted chisel meat, even the monster's broth Jian Hua had never eaten a bite, there were mushrooms, Jian Hua had never had this trouble.
Two days came a group of gophers, and when the last few pieces of meat on the campfire were eaten, they were about to run out of food.
There was nothing to eat, the mushrooms began to become abnormal, and the mycelium wrapped around Li Fei's body couldn't help but absorb some abilities, if these powers could make Jian Hua recover, Li Fei wouldn't care.
The problem is that the mushroom only cares about its own satiety, the mycelium has regained a little vitality, and Jian Hua is still lying down and not waking up. Li Fei couldn't pinch the stalk and shake it, forcing them to hand over their power to Jian Hua.
"Tear the meat into small portions, and feed as much as you can."
Cheng Lao adapts quickly, when his life was turbulent in his early years, he couldn't even see the meat star, and it was common to be hungry all day, but now that he is older, his body can't bear it.
Geng Tian stiffened his face and said, "Brother Li, you still have to think of a way, I can't sleep when I lie down, I always feel that the mushrooms want to eat us all." β
"I heard that acupuncture has a way to wake up people who are unconscious, I don't understand this, and I don't even have medicine in my hand......" Cheng Lao shook his head and sighed.
Johnson crouched on the top of the dunes and watched the sunset, the magnificent red staining the small half of the sky.
He deliberately stayed away from the mushrooms, and he also had the feeling of Geng Khotan, those round and fat mushrooms were like those demons who disguised themselves, smiled benevolently and decently, turned around and saw another face, abducting children from the slums to be pickpockets, or taking them far away in the name of adoption, and no one ever saw those children again.
Johnson was curled up in a ball when he slept, a knife made of broken bones hidden in his clothes, and he did the same when he squatted, seemingly unguarded, his thin body was actually taut.
Only when no one is nearby will Johnson be quietly in a daze.
He would think of his uncle, who was not yet addicted to gambling, of the interesting textbooks, of the wind-powered windmills by the river in his hometown town, of the cross at the top of the church building where meals were given out every weekend, and of the occasional pigeon stopping nearby, where the sunset was also beautiful, and it was the best view of their town.
If you could take Mr. Morenza to see it......
Johnson's fingers clenched, and the hot grains of sand rubbed against his calloused palms, this slight rough pain, the protagonist boy didn't feel it at all, his mind was all on Federico: after they left, those poisons. Are the dealers still chasing Federico? Will that building collapse, and will Mr. Morensa escape?
Johnson didn't know anything.
Every time he thought about these questions, his head swelled.
- I want to go home, Mr. Morenza's house is big, warm, and smells of coffee beans and chocolate sauce.
Geng Khotan is also thinking about eating, and it is good to have two meat buns at this time. I was so hungry that my stomach couldn't stop rumbling.
Cheng Lao thought about the mutton soup gnocchi made by his wife, and when he thought of this taste, even the white water had a little more taste.
Rosemary was too hungry to straighten up, and she wanted the last few pieces of meat to be roasted over the campfire, but reason told her that the people of the Black Abyss would not give them this ration.
Jian Hua frowned in confusion.
The mycelium, which was about to move, seemed to have suddenly received a signal, and scattered into an overwhelming net, trapping everyone like a fish.
Rosemary fell to the sand, and she summoned a flame in a panic, only a small flame appeared before she could recover her ability, and in the blink of an eye, she was swallowed by the mushroom.
Johnson slid all the way down the dunes, and the mycelium behind him chased after him like undulating waves, and from a distance it looked like surfing.
The hungry mushroom is in trouble, who is stupid to stand still and not run?
Johnson fell to the bottom of the sand dune, hurriedly activated his ability, the wind swept him forward to dodge, and when he hurriedly looked back, Johnson found that everyone was swallowed by the mushroom "wave".
The undulating white mycelium on the dunes, like the open claws of a demon, returns fully loaded to return to its lair.
"Huh?"
Johnson found that in addition to chasing his own mycelium, the mycelium in other directions shrank back into mushrooms, wrapped in loot and began to move closer to the hollow.
Rosemary's conspicuous blonde hair peeked out in the middle of the mushroom, and she was tied up and carried into the air.
Is this leaving?
Johnson hesitated for two seconds, then immediately turned his head and plunged into the waves of mycelium that were viciously pursuing him.
Most of the abilities that drive the wind are taken by the protagonist boy, and the rest of the mycelium is greedily sucked and stopped, and Johnson feels like an insect that has fallen into a bag of flytraps, hot and stuffy, unable to move, as if it will melt and swallow it at any moment......
Soon, the familiar feeling of dizziness hits.
Upside down, unable to breathe, it was pitch black in front of me, and when I tried to open my eyes, it was as if I could see a kaleidoscope of drastic changes in the pattern.
He also saw huge and monstrous monsters, long and narrow, very vicious.
Johnson didn't know if it was a hallucination or a real sight, his hands and feet were cold, his chest was suffocated like a knife, and he quickly fainted.
He saw some of the effects of the Void World, and the A-class adeeptic lost consciousness the moment he was hollowed out by the mushroom.
ββWhen you open your eyes again, do you see death or your hometown?
"Huh."
Geng Khotan woke up in pain, his exposed head was missing from a fever, and he was attacked first, he struggled to stretch his arm out of the mycelium, pulled the thing down and pinched it hard.
Geng Khotan gasped at the thorns on the monster's back armor.
"What is this?" The other A-class abilities woke up one after another, and some of the unlucky ones were bitten on the nose, screaming wow, not understanding why they were in the midst of mushrooms, and there were monsters that could cross the devouring mycelium to attack them.
The monster had eight legs, a pair of large powerful pincers, and a back carapace full of sharp thorns with neurotoxins on it, and the pain of those who were stabbed would be excruciating, and the skin would soon appear with deep red marks like whiplashes.
"Ironclad Crab!" Rosemary almost fainted, how unlucky, there are only so many monsters in the abandoned world that are not afraid to devour mushrooms, glass snails and ironclad crabs, why did they escape from the desert and encounter annihilation?
They still hang on a mushroom tree, in different poses.
It seemed to be an open river, the bridge had broken, and Rosemary could only see countless red ironclad crabs rushing towards it, and some people had closed their eyes in despair.
Devouring mushrooms can't absorb these guys with thick shells on the outside, and the ability doesn't recover.
However, the reason why the mushroom followed Jian Hua's subconscious to snatch this empty hole was the same as the change in Geng Khotan's old Li Fei's eyes.
Mushrooms began to collapse in large areas, turning into craters, filled with crabs and sealed with mycelium, and whatever they tossed inside, the mushroom cage continued to evolve.
Ten minutes later, only a few crabs remained in place, and they fled back into the river in panic.
Jian Hua was also woken up by hunger, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a "basket" of mushrooms hanging in front of him, which was crowded with large and small red crabs, and they were still pulling the mycelium very energetically.
Jian Hua: ......
