Chapter 44 Warning Signs

Kane had the tunnels dug by the burrowing worms into a wind-eroded rock thousands of kilometers away from the human settlement.

Layers of bare rock piles conceal the exit from the tunnel, and there are tall pillars next to it, allowing Kane to overlook the settlement from a high vantage point.

The Drill Worm is not going to be let go of Kane for doing him a favor, and Kane decides to cross the river and tear down the bridge from the start. The moment it dug through the tunnel, it was summoned back underground by Kane before it could see the sunlight and killed it, taking away the energy consumed by the heart to replenish mind control.

He didn't dare to throw the void creatures into the wilderness, and the devil knew what would happen if normal creatures ate their carrion. The Void erodes normal life and then causes mutations, and a chain reaction caused by a careless trigger can collapse the nearby biosphere, and even kill people.

In order to be visible to the public as soon as possible, Kane placed his skull on a tall monolith. Keisha couldn't help him anymore, so he had to fly the skull up.

Even if the monster skull had been hollowed out, it would have weighed several times that of Kane. In order to carry it to the stone pillar, he expended a lot of energy.

The fanged jaws of the skull are facing the direction of the settlement, a warning that the land is not safe.

Kane had wanted to carve words into the skull to make the warning more straightforward. But thinking that no one would climb up there, he showed mercy.

Keisha climbed up as well, her skull on one foot, looking out at the settlement not far away.

She smelled the aroma of barbecue and heard the laughter of people, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned into a smile.

But the smile sank immediately, for she also remembered what lurked beneath the sand.

"Don't these people know they're in danger?" Keisha stomped her foot and said angrily.

"Be prepared for a long battle." Kane sighed, panic needed time to ferment.

He also knew that forced demolition was the quickest way to do it, and that if the walls and barricades of the settlement were blown up and the houses were set on fire, the people would have to leave.

But that's not practical.

If you think about people's lives and deaths, they can't just destroy the house.

You have to give people time to run out, pack their bags, and hit the road with everything they can't bear to give up.

If you blow up the house directly, some people will be killed by the collapsed house. Others haven't had time to salvage their things, and they don't have enough to go on the road empty-handed.

However, before they could reach the next settlement, the brutal desert would engulf them.

Then the question comes back to square one – how do you get people to pack their bags? If they don't want to leave and die in the house, how can the house be demolished?

They are not nomads, and every relocation is a big challenge to survival, so how can they move away so easily?

Gentle measures are not destined to achieve their goals quickly.

……

After learning from Kane, Keisha unlocked many new poses.

Now, she targets humans who are alone with animals.

Regardless of whether she encounters an elderly person or a child, she will stand incognito next to the animal and speak to the target.

In the eyes of the parties, it has become an animal that has been raised for a long time and suddenly becomes a sperm to speak! It's a terrible prophecy!

When she encounters someone who dares to reply, she will also answer the other party's questions.

Because her voice was distorted by the helmet, her voice was like choking blood, and her strange voice could be impressive.

Many people have encountered the same situation and heard the same content - Run! The Void could engulf this place at any moment!

However, it's not just animals that speak.

Someone finds themselves on the wall with deep claw marks, or triadic markers that represent the void, or even "Danger!" "Run!" "Eat!" Like-minded inscriptions.

Anyway, how did you come here, and there were not only on the walls, but also on the city walls, and some people even had warning marks on the ceiling, and the owner of the house didn't even know who had entered his house.

In addition, livestock began to die mysteriously one after another in the settlement. Some were left with corrosive wounds, some had their hearts gouged out, and some were directly scared to death, and all kinds of strange ways of dying.

So many strange things happened one after another in a small settlement of less than a thousand people, and panic gradually fermented in people's hearts.

The rumors of the Void Monsters eyeing the settlement gradually spread, and everyone panicked, the curfew was getting earlier and earlier, and it was usually forbidden to go out alone.

If none of these strange things have enough evidence to prove that the monster really exists, then the subsequent discoveries confirm the validity of this claim.

Someone has found evidence of the existence of monsters on the stone pillars of the settlement!

A huge skull of an adult-swallowing man was placed at the top of the stone pillar, its jaws covered with teeth that were completely unnaturally generated, facing the settlement not far away, silently speaking of eternal fear.

"Oops... Oops! I'm going to... I have to...... Tell the Chieftain about it! The young man who had been the first to find the skull ran back in a panic to inform the chieftain of his finding.

Soon, another group of people came to the city to confirm the situation, and found a tunnel leading to the deep underground in a nearby rock pile, where there were monster tracks.

Now they don't believe it, they have to believe it, the void creatures are really underground. Wriggling in the marrow of their homeland is a morbid, unspeakable horror.

"I've been grinding with you for a month, so it's time to move out......"

Standing on the rock pillar and watching the men leave, Keisha appeared out of thin air, muttering alone.

Over the course of the month, she crossed her boundaries again and again to drive them out of the danger zone, doing more and more extreme things – from pretending to be a ghost, to destroying houses, to killing livestock......

The blood has already been seen, it has reached the point of mutilating life, and if it continues, it will be almost murder!

Fortunately, these people didn't force her to cross her final bottom line.

Now, she was tired, more tired than three days and three nights of non-stop fighting.

If that's the price of salvation, that's too heavy.

……

Keisha went back underground, she didn't want to hunt, she didn't want to eat.

I just want to whine with Kane and then lie on him and sleep well.

"Those people found skulls and tunnels, they should have collected their things and left in the next few days."

She was relieved to lie on top of Kane, who could only rest on her stomach or sit because of her shoulder pod.

"Perhaps." Kane wasn't so sure, they did everything they could but kill and set fires.

In order to prevent the Void creatures from spreading to the ground, he has killed tens of thousands of them in the past month, and some tunnels are full of a large amount of debris, and there are no Void creatures to clean them up so far.

Because once he finds out, these things don't want to live for more than two hours.

And now, the two of them have done everything, and the monsters have been killed, if these people on the ground don't move away, then it can't be said.

Keisha's restful sleep didn't last long before she was awakened by the monster's attack, and then fell into wave after wave of fighting.

For some reason, a large group of Void Beasts suddenly poured out of the abyss one after another without warning, making them powerless. For several days in a row, I encountered all kinds of battles, large and small, and I couldn't spare time to look at the situation on the ground.

Kane couldn't figure it out at first, until an old acquaintance appeared, and they suddenly turned from hunters to prey.

"Why are there hunters!"
