Chapter Twenty-Seven: Fleeing Without Stopping
With a "poof", Mason smashed his head and feet into the blackpool.
By the time he struggled to surface, his otherwise strong body was already mutilated, as if the pool was corroded with sulfuric acid.
The pain that tore through his soul made Mason scream miserably.
His eyes, nose and mouth were gone, but even so, his right hand still held the pendant with his daughter's picture tightly, but he knew that he would never have the chance to see her beautiful smile again, ever.
Soon, his body began to twist, like a fritter in a frying pan, and the arm holding the pendant completely disappeared.
"Smack!"
The silver pendant struck the black water with a crisp sound, and everything came to an abrupt end.
The water no longer rolled, the black water no longer had light, and the world here became utter darkness.
Nicholas's white hair was shaky and shaky with running, and he had run far away, and the scent of the flower of evil behind him could no longer be smelled.
He knew that he had escaped the danger range, so he took a few deep breaths to calm down the beating of his heart, then sat down on a stone and pulled out a piece of dried meat to fill the gap in physical strength.
The stone knife in his hand is sharp, and cutting dried meat is as easy as cutting tofu.
He chewed, very carefully and seriously.
"I don't know what happened to everyone else. ”
Nicholas thought about it, suddenly sighed, and said to himself:
"When I get out of the island and do what I have to do, I'll come back to look for you, and if you die or become monsters, then I'll be one of you, and it's a good place to be. ”
Nicholas said this, and even had a smile on his face as the old man found a suitable cemetery for himself.
However, the smile that made people sad but carried the wish for life suddenly froze at this moment.
A pale golden ball of light fluttered in the wind behind him, silently melting into his back, then revealing on his chest, and enveloping his whole body a moment later.
Nicholas still had that smile on his face, but his eyes were full of regret and sadness.
He struggled to lift his leg and walk down the rock, but after all his might, he saw only his broken and scattered right leg.
It was a leg that had turned to stone, fell to the ground, and became several pieces.
Immediately afterward, his eyes dimmed, and even his white hair turned to stone.
From a distance, it looks like a stone statue of an old man with his right leg missing, a very strong old man, and his muscles are so angular.
William was cowardly, but not stupid.
When Cai Yang was caught by the big snake, he was not too far behind Cai Yang.
When he saw Cai Yang swallowed by the big snake, he climbed a tree with confidence.
The serpent won't hurt people for a short time, because it's full.
What made him happiest was that after the python swallowed Cai Yang, the chasing things seemed to have given up the chase and spread in other directions.
William hugged the tree pole, terrified, but at the same time there was an indescribable sense of luck.
Cai Yang died, and was swallowed by the python in front of his eyes, but he was still alive, and this contrast made him feel a feeling of good luck.
In fact, this feeling is extremely stupid, but many people will have inexplicable self-satisfaction in the same situation.
Having a sense of happiness while watching others suffer is also the root of many human beings' inferiority.
However, just as William was feeling the fear and stupidity of luck, a pale golden ball emerged from the jungle not far away, fluttered in the wind, and soon hung on the treetops, right on top of William's brain.
As if sensing the light around him, William involuntarily turned his head, looking for the location of the light source.
Just as he raised his head, the ball of light swung along the treetops and smashed into William's face, enveloping his head and body in an instant.
William didn't even have time to scream, he was completely deformed by the magnetic field force in the ball of light, and when the ball of light dispersed, there was only a twisted bulge of a human figure on the huge old tree, like a relief, raising his head, staring, and a look of despair.
Tao Yuan led a few people to escape in the jungle, and the range they could detour was getting smaller and smaller, but if they fled in a straight line, their speed was far from being able to compete with the growth speed of the evil flower behind them.
"It's not okay to go on like this, we'll all die at the hands of that monster Jack, and we must go separately!"
Robert shouted as he ran.
It is a miracle that this guy has such a fat body and is still holding Rose, and he can hold on to it until now.
It's just obvious that his physical strength is about to run out, and the sweat has completely soaked his clothes, dripping like washing, and even before he runs a step, there will be a "coo" sound in his shoes.
has been able to persist until now, completely relying on the love for his daughter that transcends life.
The fragrance of flowers is getting stronger and stronger, and Tao Yuan knows that if this continues, everyone will not have a good result.
So he nodded at Robert and said:
"Good luck!"
"Definitely, we'll see you again!"
After speaking, he hugged Rose, turned around and ran in the other direction, Ellie followed, and the figures of the three people quickly disappeared from Tao Yuan's sight.
Tao Yuan is the only one left by Mei Yuan, as for the doctor, he didn't know where to disperse on the way, of course, it is more likely that the doctor chose to leave by himself, because the goal of following Tao Yuan is obviously too big.
As a confident and intelligent man, he chose to escape on his own terms, almost a certainty.
Tao Yuan fled in the opposite direction of Robert with Mei, and when there were only two people, Tao Yuan's speed was really revealed.
He adjusted a pair of mechanical legs to the most suitable mode for running and climbing, and the whole person was like a cheetah shuttling through the jungle, as for beauty, Tao Yuan was dragged and ran almost the whole time, and the only thing she needed to do was not to fall.
Thankfully, Mei's physical strength is very good, and until now, she has only seen a little sweat stain on her forehead, and her breathing is still very stable.
Tao Yuan guessed that this was probably the light ball that transformed Amanda's body into one when it fused her into one, and he remembered that Ansally said that most of the genetic defects of the life forms fused by the light ball were compensated, and normal human genes had almost seventy-five percent useless garbage genes, but they didn't.
Not only have they been transformed by the light sphere, but all the creatures in this seven-colored misty space, whether animals or plants, have been found to have more genetic integrity than their counterparts in the outside world, and even most of them surpass humans.
At such a speed, the two of them crossed the mountains and streams, and finally couldn't smell the charming and drunk fragrance of flowers behind them.
With their backs to a small stream, two people sat on a rock to rest.
It was already the middle of the night, and even Tao Yuan felt physically and mentally exhausted.
He searched for a lot of dry wood around and lit a bonfire next to the stone where the two were resting.
As long as this wall of fire does not burn, neither Jack's Flower of Evil nor Austin's toadstools can touch the two of them.
The bonfire is baked next to the stone, which quickly warms the surface of the stone, just like the hot kang in the north, which makes people more sleepy.
Tao Yuan sat cross-legged, breathing slowly and recovering his physical strength, and Mei naturally pillowed on Tao Yuan's lap and fell asleep.
This stone is not big, and the beauty can only be like a baby's body, and the perfect curve outlined on the back is so attractive in the firelight.
I don't know how long it took for Tao Yuan to feel the soreness in his body muscles slowly subside, and the dizziness of lack of oxygen in his brain also recovered, but just as he was about to add some new firewood to the bonfire, Mei suddenly sat up, looked at the upstream stream next to him vigilantly, and whispered:
"Something is approaching ......"
