PS: The third volume has been serialized! Ask for a tip! Ask for votes! Ask for a commuter pass! Come on! Come on!
The officer drew his gun, pulled the trigger, and shot the interpreter in the leg - he didn't want to kill him, because he couldn't find anyone else but the man who knew the local language, and he didn't want to have any conflict with the local aborigines in this time of crisis, but the conflict had already happened.
The interpreter, who had been shot in the leg, leaned slightly and still rushed towards the officer.
The officer fired again, this time aiming at the chest, because the interpreter's appearance had frightened him, but after the second bullet hit the chest, the interpreter still rushed straight at him, and then, like a beast, pounced on him, biting him on the side of his throat, and when he looked up again, he had already torn out the officer's trachea and other things, and his mouth was full of blood!
The soldiers of the Foreign Legion were stupid and began to raise their guns to shoot at the interpreter, and after several minutes of fighting, the interpreter who had been biting stopped moving, turned over and fell to the side and died, even so, the soldiers around him still did not dare to come forward to check, and they knew that the officer was dead.
But at this time, many soldiers found that the aborigines who appeared on all sides did not know when they disappeared, and the only thing left was the boy who was outside the camp.
"Kill him!" One of the soldiers raised his Lee Enfield rifle and pulled the trigger at the boy, but the boy a hundred meters away just moved a step slightly, and then turned his head to avoid the bullet, and the soldier who fired the shot was dumbfounded, and pulled the trigger again, the shot was missed, and the bullet didn't know where it landed.
The boy looked up at the sun in the sky. He turned and walked away, and soon disappeared into the wasteland.
It took a long time for the group of soldiers to come to their senses, and began to clean up and bury the bodies of officers and interpreters, sort out their belongings, and immediately report the matter to the German North African Legion, after all, the death of an officer is a big deal.
But the matter was not over, and that night, although the Foreign Legion was on the alert. Also because of the daytime things. Almost all the soldiers did not sleep, and sat nervously in groups of three or five in the camp, deliberating what to do next, and as ordered they must arrive to eliminate the Foreign Legion loyal to the Free France. But the current situation. The Supreme Commander died mysteriously. Or was it bitten to death by a mad translator, how can things be resolved?
It wasn't until late at night that the Germans sent back a message questioning. and, suspecting that this was only a reason for their rebellion, ordered them to stand by and wait for the arrival of the German paratroopers.
Three days later, a group of German paratroopers led by Lieutenant Angela found the camp of the Foreign Legion, the reason for looking for it was because they had lost contact with the Foreign Legion after boarding the plane, and had to search for it according to the coordinates they said, and when the Germans arrived at the camp, the scene in front of them stunned these elite soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles - the bodies of nearly a hundred Foreign Legionnaires were piled up in the center of the camp on a hill, and there were no heads, their heads were cut off and placed around the hill three times.
This captain named Angela was a close friend of Otto, the leader of the German SS special forces, and he was also a soldier who advocated special operations, but because the German army had not really established a commando team similar to Britain at that time, most of the special operations were carried out by paratroopers, and Angela was also like a fish in water in the paratrooper army, and had experienced large and small battles, but this kind of battle in front of him was the first time he had seen it, and it was so weird.
"The devil's handiwork." It took a while for Angela to say this, and luckily they found a surviving Foreign Legion soldier, Vito, in the well in the camp.
Vito, who had been rescued, burst into tears when he saw Angra, hugging Angra's thighs and crying, until Angela threatened to turn him into a corpse in the pile, that he stopped crying and began to recount what had happened that night......
On the night of the death of the officers and interpreters, they informed the Germans and waited in place, and although panic spread among the Foreign Legion like a plague, no one expected another attack at night, and they only guessed that it was a warning from the aborigines to stop harassing the tribe - just five days earlier, in order to find drinking water, they had invaded the territory of a tribe and shot and killed several of the tribe's natives, including a child.
At four o'clock in the middle of the night, when most people couldn't hold it anymore and began to fall drowsy, fear had quietly descended on the camp, first with the inexplicable disappearance of the patrol team on the periphery, then the disappearance of people in the fortifications around the camp, followed by the mysterious disappearance of insomnia who came out of the camp to pee......
An hour later, thirty or so men in the entire camp had inexplicably disappeared, leaving only the long and short guns in their hands in the places where they had disappeared.
The junior officer who replaced the dead commander panicked, and the rest of the people who woke up one after another were also frightened, and the rumor of "ghosts" instantly shattered their morale, and many people began to flee, some of them did not even take their weapons, and ran wildly towards the outside of the camp.
No matter what method the junior officer used, he couldn't stop the collapsed army, so he had to run away, following the two non-commissioned officers who fled in front, but who knew that the two non-commissioned officers who were dozens of meters away suddenly disappeared.
A soldier named Vito also followed the junior officer, witnessed this qiē with his own eyes, and knew that he could not run, so the two had to run back to the tent, wrapped themselves in blankets like children, and waited for death to come.
Soon, there was a strange sound outside, something was being dragged, and then there was a collision sound, it sounded like a human body, the junior officer took a gun and threatened Vito to go out to see, Vito looked at the muzzle of the gun, knew that it was dead horizontally and vertically, so he had to climb out hard, but the instinct to survive made him leave the tent and crawl directly towards the outside of the camp, who knew that he had just climbed for a while, and suddenly heard the sound of plowing the ground, as soon as he turned around, he saw a hole in the ground seven or eight meters away from him, and then a corpse was thrown out, Then another person came out!
Vito was dumbfounded, staring at the aboriginal who had emerged from the hole, and closed his eyes. He crawled forward, and finally stopped when he hit the edge of the wellhead, and jumped down in a panic by grabbing the rope at the wellhead.
He didn't know what happened next, so he waited until the German paratroopers found him and dragged him out.
Vito's dictation made Angela listen to it for several minutes, and finally reacted before he felt his cigarette and lit it, until he finished smoking a cigarette and saw Vito leaning over to pick up the cigarette butt, then he pulled out his pistol and killed Vito, and then took pictures of the camp. Evacuated urgently with people.
……
When Quinn told this. Laughing: "This story, everyone in Asaya knows, it is a folk legend, and I don't know if it's true or not." But it's not the first time I've seen the severed boy before. This is the third time. The first time I saw it, I was even more surprised than you, and I almost raised my camera to take a picture. ”
Except for digging a tunnel and sneaking up, that one doesn't know what evil he has fallen into. Turning into a terrifying monster that can't be killed by a few shots Judging by the description, isn't it a walking corpse? No, rather, like a corpse soldier.
Tang Shuxing looked at Quinn, I don't know if this guy who sells corpse drugs told this story on purpose, he doesn't want to ask in detail, and he is now dizzy from hunger, and he has a strong urge to eat, and this urge turns into nausea later, Tang Shuxing covered his mouth and ran away, came to the bushes and vomited, but all he vomited was a black mass.
Tang Shuxing, who had finished vomiting, just straightened up, and unexpectedly smelled a tempting fragrance, which made his mouth water. He walked slowly to the smell, picked up the half-man-tall weeds in front of him, and after seeing what was scenting, he shook himself and stood there without moving—there was a pit of corpses in the weeds that had not yet been completely covered, and in the pit were piled up with at least a dozen naked corpses, and the corpses were full of bullet holes.
He used to feel disgusted, but now he's drooling.
Yes, I am a monster now, and I will not be able to bear it if I don't eat for a long time. How long has it been since you eaten? I can't resist anymore, if I don't eat it now, will I die or will I go crazy and attack Gu Huaiyi and the others?
He stood in front of the corpse pit, his eyes closed, his heart struggling, what should have smelled disgusting corpse stench was now like the enticing aroma of a delicacy.
Eat! I can't stand it anymore! As soon as Tang Shuxing thought like this, there was a sound of grass picking from the weeds opposite, he picked up the rifle in his hand, aimed at the source of the sound, and then saw a black boy in a white cloth shirt appear there.
The young man was taken aback when he came out and found Tang Shuxing, and subconsciously raised his hands.
Tang Shuxing put down the gun, shook his head and said, "I won't hurt you." ”
The young man didn't understand, he just opened his eyes and looked at Tang Shuxing, but his eyes fell on the dragon lin blade and the yin bee on his waist, and he just looked at it directly.
Tang Shuxing touched the handle of the knife, took out a piece of chocolate from the backpack, put it in the palm of his hand, and motioned for the young man to come and get it.
The boy didn't step forward, his gaze just swept over the chocolate and landed on the sword again, he was more interested in the two cold weapons than in food.
Tang Shuxing simply walked towards the young man with chocolate, and his nostrils had been smelling the "fragrance" emitted by the corpse, but when he was about to walk up to the young man, he found a wound on the back of the young man's hand that was cut by something, and at that moment his heart beat faster, and the saliva secreted from it instantly filled his mouth!
He stopped, not daring to step forward again, fearing that he would eat the boy alive if he couldn't control it, so he could only swallow the saliva back into his stomach, then put the chocolate on the ground, and turned to leave, it should be said that he was fleeing.
He had to get away from the pile of rotting corpses, away from the boy, back under the tree, to calm himself down. But when he walked to the tree and looked at Ji Kefeng and Quinn who were sleeping, his saliva came out again, sliding out along the corners of his mouth.
"Eat something, or you'll attack us even if you don't starve." Gu Huaiyi's voice sounded from the side.
Tang Shuxing turned around, looked at Gu Huaiyi, who was holding a dagger and didn't know what to do, nodded subconsciously, but immediately shook his head.
"It's good that people have principles, but in order to survive, you can also give up principles, not to mention that you are not a human being at all now." Gu Huaiyi turned around and walked in the direction of the corpse pit, bent his waist, and waved his hand to signal Tang Shuxing to follow him.
The two shuttled back to where Tang Shu was standing in the grass just now, and Gu Huaiyi immediately lay down again. Pointing ahead, he told Tang Shuxing to pay attention. Tang Shuxing saw the young man squatting next to the corpse pit, holding a sharp can lid in one hand, turning the corpse on the surface with the other, looking for it for a long time, leaning over to smell it, and finally using the can lid to slowly and carefully cut off a large piece of flesh on the back of one of the corpses.
After the boy cut off the piece of dead human flesh, he shaved the surface of his skin clean, and then put the human flesh on his shoulder and turned away.
"He's mutilating dead people?" Tang Shuxing said in a low voice.
Gu Huaiyi didn't speak, but leaned down to follow the young man, and he and Tang Shuxing walked through the half-human-high weeds in front of the corpse pit. Come to a high convex hillside. When he showed up, he saw an abandoned and unusable car below, with a bonfire in the middle of the car's body, surrounded by four men and women except for the meat-cutting boy.
The other four were also teenagers, and they looked like they were only seventeen or eighteen years old. They all stared at the piece of meat on the shoulder of the young man who cut the flesh. Involuntarily stood up. There was not fear in the eyes, but longing.
The boy calmly slipped the meat onto the hood of the car and began to carefully divide it—the only place he could find a smoother one. The meat is then divided into five pieces. Distributed to the other four, everyone prayed around the bonfire with the meat, and then hung the meat above the bonfire, drooling and waiting, during which no one spoke.
Tang Shuxing understood, understood that they were eating dead human flesh in order to survive, and understood why the child was looking at his sword earlier, not because he was curious, but because he wanted to get the same thing, so that he could discard the canned lid that was not handy.
In less than two minutes, before the meat was completely cooked, a teenager couldn't help but pick it up, and although it was so hot that he kept moaning, he still refused to put it down, and took a big bite to eat. The other four teenagers also swallowed their saliva, and they all grabbed their piece of meat and ate it, making a sound of satisfaction in their throats, like five wild cats that had been hungry for days.
Gu Huaiyi turned around and slid down the hill, waiting for Tang Shuxing to also slide down, before he said softly: "This is the evidence of life." ”
"It's the price of survival." Tang Shuxing stared at the weeds in front of him and whispered, his stomach still rumbling, and his voice became more and more exaggerated.
The two were silent, the only sound was Tang Shuxing's stomach, the cooing sound was so exaggerated that the meat-cutting boy came over with a wooden stick, and was slightly stunned after finding the two, but saw that the two were just sitting without reacting, knowing that there was no hostility.
At this time, Tang Shuxing's stomach screamed again, and the young man seemed to understand something, stepped forward, and handed him the piece of chocolate left by Tang Shuxing before.
Gu Huaiyi looked at the chocolate, and then looked at Tang Shuxing and said, "Look, he still treats you as a human being." ”
The boy didn't understand them, just smiled.
"No, I'm not trying to get the chocolate back." Tang Shuxing shook his head and gestured with his hand, indicating that he couldn't eat this thing.
The young man also opened his mouth to say something, but Tang Shuxing couldn't understand it, so he pointed to his ear and kept shaking his head.
Gu Huaiyi closed his eyes and translated: "He said that this kind of thing is not enough for the five of them to eat separately, even if everyone eats it, if they can't eat it in the future, they will firmly remember its deliciousness in their mouths, and when they eat other things, they will be tasteless." ”
Tang Shuxing took back the chocolate, smiled at the young man, and the young man smiled too, then turned around and walked away step by step.
"Can you understand their language?" Tang Shu asked Gu Huaiyi while rubbing his abdomen, he was too uncomfortable.
"Do you think you don't eat carrion, even if you're still a human being? Eat it and turn into a monster completely? Gu Huaiyi asked slowly.
Tang Shuxing nodded silently, it was difficult for him to even speak.
Gu Huaiyi took out a bloody thing from behind his back and threw it directly into Tang Shuxing's hands.
Tang Shuxing looked at the thing, although the fragrance was not as tempting as a rotting corpse, but it also caused his mouth to be filled with saliva - it was a huge wild mouse that had been dead for a long time, and had been rotting all over the place.
Tang Shuxing was still holding back, but saliva was flowing down the corners of his mouth, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe it with his cuffs, like a beggar watching fragrant food on the street.
"You have to admit the fact that you are already a monster, and if you are a monster, you should eat the food of monsters, otherwise you will not survive the day when you become a normal human being, as you said, this is the price of survival." Gu Huaiyi pointed to the rotten wild mouse in his hand, "And those five teenagers and all the people who are living in the war, they are the evidence of life, they don't want to eat human flesh, and in this environment, even if they are roasted and eaten, they will be infected with some kind of disease, whether they die or not is only a matter of time, if they can live a few more hours, they will be very satisfied, if they eat without dying, they can still stay healthy, it is a miracle of life." ”
After Gu Huaiyi finished speaking, he stood up on his knees, glanced at Tang Shuxing, and slowly walked into the grass.
Tang Shuxing stared at the rotten wild mouse in his hand, still hesitating, this time he hesitated to take a bite from, because no matter where he looked, it was so delicious. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth wide and bit down on the head of the wild mouse, directly biting off his entire head, chewing it in his mouth, and the saliva flew sideways, splashing out more than ten centimeters.
As he was eating, he suddenly realized that someone was looking at him, and he turned his head to see that the young man was looking at him there, with surprise and little surprise in his eyes, wondering why he had to eat such a thing instead of chocolate. And the food is so delicious.
"I have to live......" Tang Shuxing said this, and he didn't know if he was explaining something to the young man.
The boy stood there and watched as he had eaten up the rotting mouse, leaving not even a fur left, and then he stepped forward slowly, and took out a box of matches from his pocket, which seemed to mean that it had to be roasted and eaten.
Tang Shuxing smiled, smiled bitterly, didn't know how to respond to the other party, and finally had to wipe his mouth with the back of his hand, found a box of waterproof matches from his backpack, took out a dagger and handed it to the young man, then shook the box of matches that the young man gave him, and nodded: "Thank you." ”
The young man happily stroked the dagger, and when he looked up again, Tang Shuxing was nowhere to be seen. (To be continued......)
