Chapter 9: A Stormy Night
Standing on the edge of the roof, through the sporadic firelight, they saw a series of pitch-black beast shadows rushing into the city, and everywhere they passed, the sound of sorrow continued!
Don't dare to stay for a long time, after all, the speed of the mutant beast is too fast, and the roof of this building is not safe, so you have to find a place to hide quickly.
Quickly looked around, and found that there was a huge metal water tank in the water tank room not far away, Yuan Fang jumped up, opened the heavy cover, and shone it in with light, and found that it was rusty but there was not a drop of water.
After quickly helping his sister climb in, Yuan Fang also turned over and jumped in, pulled the cover, it was pitch black inside, and the two brothers and sisters calmed their wheezing while listening to the roars and screams of the beasts in the distance and the screams and shouts of the crowd.
The dilapidated but warm home has now become a hell on earth, and in this dark, cold and rusty water tank, my sister is shivering with her brother in her arms.
"Don't be afraid, we're tall here, and we're hidden here. Yuan Fang whispered to appease Yuan Youyuan.
"After a while, wait until dawn, after the mutant beast leaves, we will go to Lanling City, I heard that it is safe over there, and the Wang City Lord and they all went there. ”
"Brother, I'm so scared. Yuan Youyuan trembled.
"Have you forgotten that your brother will shine? Have you forgotten that your brother's strength has increased? With my brother here, don't be afraid, the sky will soon dawn. Hugging his sister tightly, Yuan Fang was a little bitter.
"Alas, it's still too weak. Yuan Fangzheng thought.
The slightly abrupt sound of a heavy object falling on the ground sounded outside the tank room!
Yuan Youyuan trembled! He almost screamed!
Yuan Fang hurriedly covered his sister's mouth, leaned against the wall of the water tank and slowly squatted down, "Don't make a sound!" said softly in her sister's ear.
Then the two of them tensed up, squatting there motionless, listening carefully to the movement outside!
"Pop, tap, ......" The sound of walking outside was not hurried or slow, and seemed to be pacing.
What kind of mutant beast has this kind of leisure, in front of delicious food, can still restrain the beast, leisurely blowing the night breeze, looking at the night scene, is it admiring the killing flowers everywhere in this night?
Yuan Fang's brother and sister had an illusion at the same time, could it be that there was a human outside? He wasn't afraid? If he was seen by the mutant beast below, he would be able to rush up and kill him in the blink of an eye and eat him quickly!
It's a madman!
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing, and penetrating roar exploded from the mouth of the unknown creature outside!
However, the roar was not aimed at them.
The roar was not long before a few more "knock, knock, knock" sound came from outside the tank, followed by a chaotic wheezing and a few muffled beastly roars.
Immediately after that, there were all kinds of roars, cries and snorts of the tips of their claws scratching the ground, the sound was not loud, there were not too many violent emotions unique to mutant beasts, it seemed that they were communicating.
After a while, everything was calm again.
The roars and screams of the beasts faded away, and it seemed that this killing was over!
Yuan Fang and the others remained motionless, and the hand covering Yuan Youyuan's mouth gradually loosened.
"Brother..."
"Well, don't move, wait. ”
When the two of them were stiff, there was no sound outside, and after moving his body, Yuan Fang gently lifted a little cover, and saw that the sky outside was already slightly bright, and then listened carefully. He turned to his sister and said, "I'll go out and have a look, don't move." ”
"Brother, be careful. ”
"Well, I'll be back soon. ”
As he spoke, he opened the cover lightly, revealing a head, looked around for a while, and then suddenly shouted: "Release!"
Put the flamboyant feathered chicken outside, then retract your head and close the lid tightly.
Yuan Youyuan: "......"
Regardless of the rust on the inner wall of the water tank, Yuan Fang hurriedly put his ear on it and listened carefully to the movement outside.
After the golden feather chicken was released, it was a little sluggish at first, and after a while, it walked around on the roof of the building, as if it was a little excited in the unfamiliar environment, and seemed to sense the inexplicable danger, and the cooing became louder and louder.
"Boom!" This familiar sound of landing made Yuan Fang and Yuan Youyuan's hearts seem to sink into the sea!
The monster didn't leave!
Then there was the frightened flapping of the wings of the golden feather chicken, and after a while, with a terrible rooster crow, all sounds came to an abrupt end!
The two of them were terrified! Yuan Youyuan hugged his brother tightly again, biting his lip and not daring to make a sound.
However, the next imaginary eating sound did not occur.
"Pap, pap..."The familiar footsteps were not hurried or slow, and gradually approached, all of which made the two of them feel cold!
"Boom!" a dull sound of footsteps overhead made everything tense.
Yuan Youyuan's breathing began to be short, and Yuan Fang anxiously called the system in his heart, but the system, which has always been very intimate, has been very silent since the day before yesterday, without any hint or reaction.
Hold the crowbar tightly in his hand, the previous alloy knife and dagger were lost in an emergency, this crowbar was placed at home for Yuan Youyuan's self-defense, and it is also the only tool he can be regarded as a weapon at present, and he brought it out last night.
One end of the crowbar is sharpened, more than a meter long, it can deal with people, but it is not enough to deal with mutant beasts with strong vitality, especially the one above.
Some wisdom, listening to the footsteps seems to be people standing upright, and they don't eat the golden feather chicken...... All this suggests that the above one may be a ghoul, and their obsession with human flesh is timeless!
Jumping on the top of the tank, there is no movement, these actions are more human than animalistic. Let Yuan Fang know more about ghouls, and he is even more jealous!
Yuan Fang launched a first-level concealment technique, hugged Yuan Youyuan tightly, and the two of them were a ghost, confronting each other like this, it seemed that no one was willing to break this tranquility first, testing each other's patience!
The sky was already bright, and there was a sea of blood in Jiangning City, and the pool of blood that had not coagulated was slowly converging towards the low-lying places, and the streets and alleys could be seen everywhere! The blood color of the ground reflected the red light of the sky, and the whole heaven and earth seemed to have turned into that terrible Shura hell!
There are no stumps and broken arms, and there are no minced meat and internal organs, which shows how much the mutant beast cherishes food!
The ruined houses and broken tiles, the broken walls and ruins, and the city of Jiangning, which was still bustling yesterday, withered to this point overnight!
The east and west gates had been smashed and shattered to pieces! At this time, there was not a single mutant beast or a single person in the city. Empty and silent.
A thin breeze swirled, blowing wisps of ripples in the sea of blood.
"Smack, smack..."The ghoul above didn't seem to hold out and began to pace on top of the tank. The voice was muffled and muffled, leaving the two brothers and sisters inside breathless.
"Boom!" jumped off the water tank, and the sound of 'popping' faded away!
"Brother~..."
"Shh~", Yuan Fang hurriedly asked his sister to silence! This ghoul is different, extremely cunning, and he must not let his guard down now!
After waiting for a long time, it seemed that everything was really calm, let go of the hand holding his sister, and moved his numb body, this night, the two were exhausted!
Sitting on the ground, Yuan Youyuan was a little depressed, could it be that the two of them were trapped here?
took out water and food and handed it to his sister, "Eat something, I have the strength to escape!" Yuan Fang said in a firm tone.
"Brother, what is that?" Yuan Youyuan asked in a low voice while eating silently.
"Maybe it's a monkey, jumping up and down. Yuan Fang sneered, and it was rare that he joked in this environment that he didn't tell the truth, which was unwilling to make his sister too nervous.
Yuan Youyuan sighed, "Alas, it's a pity that this monkey doesn't eat chickens and eats people." ”
Silent, resting after eating, and plucking up courage, Yuan Fang decided to open the cover again to look outside.
At the moment when Yuan Fang's hand just touched the cover, the dull sound above sounded again without warning!
Retract your left hand like an electric shock, and instantly launch a first-level concealment technique, regardless of whether it is useful or not, all means are used!
Hold the crowbar tightly in your right hand, and stare at the cover without panting!
"Squeak~ya~", the cover plate was slowly lifted, and with the bright light coming in from the outside, a hideous face with bone spurs slowly appeared at the mouth of the cover!
The last thing you want to happen happens.
Yuan Fang's eyes were round, his adrenal glands were surging rapidly, and before the cover was fully opened, he poured all the strength of his body into his right arm, and threw the sharp crowbar at the ugly face in the light, wildly!
Hearing a 'bang!', the sudden change and the tremendous inertia caught the cunning ghoul off guard, and then fell back and fell to the top of the tank.
Yuan Fang hurriedly said, "Wait for me!", then quickly jumped out of the water tank, covered the cover plate casually, and shot towards the entrance of the building!
