Chapter 272: Obsidian on the Skull
This dilapidated room is dirty, but Yu Changsheng doesn't care, in the current situation, the filthy mess will cover his breathing and existence, avoiding potential dangers, and cleaning will instead lead to possible death.
There are many metal parts scattered on the ground, and even some abandoned motorcycles.
Yu Changsheng piled up these broken copper and iron in the corners of the house, forming a very narrow space. The space is filled with all sorts of old parts. Yu Changsheng also rubbed the dirt on his hands contentedly, eagerly lifting his feet.
The concrete floor is cold and hard. It's uncomfortable to lie on your back, but the top of the backpack is the most comfortable cushion in the world. Yu Changsheng carefully counted the weapons he carried and put them in the most convenient place at hand, these weapons carried a sense of relief and relaxation that could not be described, and Yu Changsheng felt that the exhaustion of his body had made him unable to think about more things.
How are the Guardians now? Has the world been completely destroyed? In whose hands did the ancient gods and demons fall into? All of this seemed to be very far away from him, he had lost the curse box, he had become almost defenseless, and the things that saved the world were getting farther and farther away from him, and now, survival, living, had become his most extravagant problem.
Yu Changsheng fell asleep. The night was lifeless and oppressive. The hustle and bustle that belonged to the city, vanished with the arrival of darkness, what was once the active nightlife of human beings, is now just a distant illusory term.
Aside from the tall concrete ruins that stand quietly in the wind, the city no longer has any real meaning.
I don't know how long it took, Yu Changsheng was awakened by a strange sound.
At first, he was so tired that he didn't mind the noise.
The demon of sleep uses its great power to imprison the most basic alertness and reactions in the brain. However, the instinct for survival and the perception of increased risk in the subconscious mind caused Woo Changsheng to suddenly open his eyes and concentrate his attention, carefully identifying the source of the sound.
The door, the sound came from the roller shutter at the entrance to the room.
It is clear that someone pulled the handle of the door from the outside. The sound became denser and denser, so much so that the entire metal door was filled with the noise of friction.
Before Woo Changsheng slept, he had blocked the edge of the door frame with several thick steel bars, jamming them through the cracks in the wall. If these steel bars are not removed, the blinds cannot be pulled open from the outside.
Who would be out there, why did he come in, was it a person, or a monster, "who?" Yu Changsheng grabbed the weapon and shouted.
Didn't get any response.
Yu Changsheng got up from the ground and quickly rubbed the joints of his body.
After a certain amount of body had fully recovered a certain amount of flexibility, Yu Changsheng gently pulled up the safety of the assault rifle, and the black muzzle slowly leaned towards the door, and the metal door did not continue to shake violently.
But the pull continues.
Maybe it's because the roller shutter door hasn't been used for a long time and is very sluggish. The uninvited guest outside also looked a little irritable, and his strength increased a little.
When the curtain was violently shaken, the entire roller shutter door was finally pulled down from the fixed roof with a loud bang.
It was as if a pile of tattered metal foil had limped into the corner of the room, as if trying to use its emaciated body to continue its unfinished task.
The intruder apparently turned a blind eye to the poor roller shutter. It strode into the room, stomping on the door and making strange noises.
Outwardly, the intruder should be a human.
However, with the help of the reflection of the shutters, Yu Changsheng could clearly see that except for his similar body size to humans, he could not see any other human features, and the intruder's bony arms and legs were seriously out of line with the normal proportions of the human body.
This guy is so skinny that it's like a pile of bones!
The moonlight reflected from the outside, and the place where it could be seen was right on the back of the intruder.
In the dark corners of the room, there is no way to see the person's head without a light source.
Maybe the heavens want to satisfy Yu Changsheng's curiosity. Just as he was contemplating the true identity of this guy, the intruder's body was a little crooked. Although it was a short time, it was enough to see the guy's pale face in the moonlight.
However, this face ...... Yu Changsheng had never seen a face like this, if it could be called a face.
The position of the guy's eyeballs was completely replaced by a huge hole. The high, straight nose is a deep, hollow black hole, and as for the lips...... There is no soft texture, a sharp bone and a few mutilated teeth take their rightful place.
What kind of face is this, this is obviously a dry skull without flesh and blood!
It seems that this guy is different from the monster he encountered before, it must be some kind of evil ghost! Although Yu Changsheng didn't have a ghost-seeking compass, he firmly believed in this idea, because if the previous monsters were still an acceptable category, then this human skeleton completely subverted the concept of biology that he knew.
Bones are the most basic structure that supports the human body. In other words, bones are lifeless. This is the most basic truth that has been scientifically verified for thousands of years.
However, not only are the bones able to move freely, but, in the right hand of the skull, there is still a blade-like weapon.
This...... These are movements and characteristics that only living creatures can make.
Yu Changsheng felt that his blood had stopped flowing, if the other party was really an evil ghost, then with his current weapons and means, there was really no way to deal with this guy.
Yu Changsheng sighed to himself, regretting that he hadn't prepared some spells.
He didn't know what this skeleton was, could he kill such a strange thing by piercing the gap in the bones by using a bullet It was too late to think about it now, Yu Changsheng leaned back cautiously, even though he couldn't say why he did it, but he felt that the heavy knife might be the most useful thing for the bones.
The skeleton quickly walked into the room, its hard bones stamping its mark on the cold ground and making a crisp sound.
The terrible long knife slanted down on the ground, drawing a startling wound in the thick dust.
Yu Changsheng held his breath and carefully watched every movement of his skull, with the reflection of the moon.
He was genuinely curious and curious to know how the monster had found himself.
Could he be able to see this scene through the wall This room is not big, the skull just looked around for a while, and then walked straight to the corner of Yu Changsheng with a long knife.
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but grab the knife in his hand and silently raised it to his chest.
However, in the friction between the skin and the clothing, he suddenly noticed that there were many lumps on the surface of the protective suit.
When there is a blood clot on the surface of the garment, it naturally forms a thick, dry scab, which gives off a faint smell of blood. When he was stripped of his clothes from the dead soldiers, it became clear that this was not taken into account. Skeletons with a sensitive sense of smell are likely to be attracted to the smell of food.
Yu Changsheng was both surprised and nervous, if his guess was correct, this skeleton should be the same as the other monsters that appeared in the city, it did not belong to evil ghosts, but the kind of bloodthirsty, extremely resilient, but very sensitive strange creatures, knowing this, Yu Changsheng felt that the other party should still have the same flaws in other monsters, and more importantly, he should not need to use the demon subduing and ghost hunting set to deal with this guy.
Knowing this, the dangers have not changed much.
The skeleton was still approaching, and after Yu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, he had to choose the most dangerous, but the most feasible and safest way.
The skeleton slowly approached, and through the gaps in the pile of parts, Yu Changsheng could see that the skeleton of this person was slightly shorter than his body, and it was looking around as it approached, maybe it was like itself, desperately looking for a warning source of danger in the air.
Getting closer and closer, the opportunity is coming.
Yu Changsheng felt that his hand holding the knife was already sweaty, and the moment his skull was close to the corner, he used all his strength to pull a heavy part out of the waste heap.
In an instant, dozens of large and small waste gears, steel bars, and some unused tires all collapsed like a landslide. The pouring waste crushed the skeleton to the ground, and it was instantly immobile.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Changsheng became more agile than a cheetah, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and slashed at the first bone of his spine without mercy.
In the cacophony of metal, he found that the white bones under the knife had been split in two, and the terrible skull, gurgling and rolling aside, was sprinkled with crumbles.
Yu Changsheng didn't hesitate, stepped on the skull claw with one foot, and once again swung the steel knife and cut his fragile hand bones.
Immediately after, Yu Changsheng jumped onto its skull and swung the knife at its face, and after just a few slashes, the entire skull was shattered into a pile of tiny, pale fragments.
Looking at the skeletal remains that no longer moved, Yu Changsheng felt a throbbing in his heart.
What the hell are these guys? They weren't demons, nor were they zombie monsters created by the Limit Poison Needle, but a strange creature beyond what he knew, I couldn't believe it, in addition to his own cognitive scale, how many secrets those guardians didn't tell him, maybe only by finding other survivors, could he really understand the hidden truth.
Yu Changsheng quickly picked up his backpack from the ground, picked up the submachine gun, and a long knife cut from his skull.
He tried, this knife is very sharp, several times sharper than his kitchen knife, Yu Changsheng is secretly glad, fortunately he reacted quickly enough, if he was discovered by this skeleton in advance, and now lying on the ground, I am afraid it will be himself.
The protective suit is safe, but the blood on it is also troublesome, and Yu Changsheng must rush to the militia camp as soon as possible to ensure safety.
He was about to leave the hut when he was suddenly attracted by a few skulls scattered on the ground.
He found that among the messy bones was a tiny black crystal that glittered in the moonlight.
Obsidian? How could such a thing end up on a skull?
