Chapter 17: Under Dusk
Lin Kai and his party fled into the dusk line in a hurry, and under the sunset, everything here was reflected in golden yellow, and the snow was also golden and dazzling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The topography here has also changed a lot, the tundra that was originally a flat river has become difficult to move an inch at this time, or frozen soil, but there are many strange stones on it, some are as big as mountains, some are as sharp as knives, such a ground deer can not get off their feet at all, and they will tripped and break their legs if they are not careful.
Large areas of lichen grow in the cracks of the stones, and they are green and vibrant.
"Let's walk in, just get rid of them and we'll have a chance to call the shuttle." Yan Hao said.
Driven away the deer, the team went into gravel fields.
The gravel on the ground really made it difficult to get off your feet, and none of it was flat and loose.
"Oops." The stone under the fat man's feet loosened, his feet fell into the cracks in the stones, and the whole person was tripped and fell to the ground straight, and his hands pierced a hole in the sharp stones.
The stone was pitted, like a triangular thorn, and blood flowed slowly down the stone.
"Help me, pull me along." The fat man cried and cried.
The uncle grabbed him, carried it on his shoulders, and everyone continued to move forward.
No one noticed that the blood that ran down the stone was sucked in by the lichen sponge.
After a while, the pursuers also drove to the side of the gravel field, and one of the leaders-like people waved his hand and got out of the car to chase!
Lin Kai and the others heard the roar of the engine disappear, and knew that the enemy had also come in, so they all hid next to a boulder, stuck in the enemy's sight and were shot by a gun. , and sure enough, someone fired, and from time to time bullets flew by and hit the stones.
Lin Kai and the others advanced against the edge of the stone, and the two sides chased and caught up, and the speed of the advance was about the same, and the distance was maintained for a few hundred meters.
"No, we can't get rid of them if we run away like this." Yan Hao said in a deep voice. "Do we have any weapons? It's a little more powerful. ā
"It's gone." The crowd shook their heads.
I couldn't think of a way for a while, so I could only move on.
Suddenly, the sky changed suddenly, the golden world became darker and darker, and the sun that was still hanging on the horizon just now set rapidly, and in just a dozen seconds, it was dark.
"Li Lin, what's going on?" Lin Kai has developed a good habit of asking Li Lin when he is indecided.
"I don't know, the twilight line is just dusk most of the time, and it may be just dark now." Li Lin scratched his head.
"Who's bringing the light?" Yan Hao immediately denied himself again. "No, you can't turn on the lights, and if you turn on the lights, you'll be exposed to the enemy's sight."
"What then? There's no way to move forward. The fat man said with a mournful cry.
"Don't worry, find a better place to hide." Li Lin came up with a solution that was not a solution.
Lin Kai and the others didn't turn on the lights, but the pursuers behind them turned on the lights one by one, and hundreds of people lit up the front and continued to move forward in a trance of lights.
Suddenly a scream startled everyone.
All the lights were gone, and I saw the screaming man in black crying and screaming, slapping his body wildly
"Get it down, ahhh
The man rolled on the ground and did not move.
Everyone fell silent, but fortunately there were people who were not afraid of death who volunteered.
"I'll go see what's going on."
The man walked over with a big grin, stabbed the man in the body with a gun, and with a shot he opened his mask, leaving only a clean skull under the mask, and not a trace of flesh and blood.
"Fuck, dead!"
"Nonsense, knowing that he is dead, how did he die?" The leader scolded.
"I don't know, only bones are left." The man grabbed the skull: "Huh? Why is there still a clump of algae here? As he spoke, he dug out a lump of green plants from the skull's eye holes.
The man twisted it in his hand and didn't see anything special, but when he tried to shake it off, he realized that something was wrong.
"Fuck."
The strange plant had penetrated his glove into his hand.
"What the hell!" He took off his gloves and saw the plant moving under his skin by the light, burrowing into it.
He pulled out a piece of rope and firmly tied it to his forearm, but it couldn't stop the intrusion of plants.
This brother is also a ruthless person, and he directly cut off his arm with a knife, and retreated holding his arm.
This time, everyone clearly saw that the flesh and blood of his arm were quickly eaten away by the plant.
"Something is wrong, quick, get out of here!" The leader was decisive and immediately gave the order.
The process of that arm being eaten, Lin Kai in the distance could see it more clearly than anyone else under his perception, but what made him desperate the most was that in his perceptual perspective, the lichen in the entire gravel field was alive.
"Don't hide, run, the lichen here eats people."
Before Lin Kai finished speaking, he heard Ye Shan's cry of pain.
"There's something! Please, save me! I saw her frantically scratching her legs, but no one could save her, so she could only watch her cry and roll on the ground, and she didn't move for a few seconds.
The rest of the people's hearts were sour, the girl who was still hunting together just now died like this, Lin Kai remembered that she had asked herself enviously before.
"What shall we do?" Jian Xuan's lips trembled.
Lin Kai clenched his fists and said, "Run to a high place first." ā
They've already traveled a long distance, and it's not like they can run out, not to mention that they don't have lights yet.
The stone is not easy to climb, Lin Kai is not good at rock climbing or something, although he came up with it to run to a high place, but his physical fitness is not good at all now, but it is Jian Xuan and the other women who go up effortlessly.
Lin Kai looked at the straight wall-like stone in front of him, his heart was bitter, and he shouted helplessly: "I can't go up!" ā
At the critical moment, it had to be the uncle, who picked up Lin Kai with one hand, and despite the fat man and Lin Kai hanging on his body, he still climbed fast.
The screams from below came one after another, of course, it was not only Lin Kai who was smart, some people in black also climbed onto the stones beside them, but they could only watch the lichen spread up little by little.
Someone tried to sweep the floor jacket with a gun, but the muzzle of the gun continued to spread upward, so he had to throw the gun away.
Lin Kai and the others finally climbed to the top of the stone, which was quite high, but Lin Kai could sense that the lichen was slowly spreading.
Li Lin took out the communicator and pressed it a few times, and said, "It's okay, I've already called the shuttle, let's just hold on." ā
"What the hell are these things?" Ye Shan's emotions were a little out of control.
"I don't know, I've never heard of anything like this here." Li Lin spread his hands.
The warrior with the broken arm, seeing that the plant was getting closer and closer to him, took out a grenade.
"Fuck it, blow you up!" The grenade was quite powerful, and it did blow up a lot of plants as he wished, but in the explosion, many plants were blown up and fell on the bodies of the people in black around him. This thunder almost wiped out the man in black, and even he himself was not spared.
As the minutes ticked by, there wasn't much left of the men in black, and their leader was lucky enough to survive and escape to a higher rock.
"That thing is climbing up!"
Lin Kai's form on their side is not optimistic, the lichen is approaching from all sides, and they have no way out.
"Let me try!" Yan Hao said as he released his ghostly energy, and balls of fireball were thrown on the lichen and sneered.
"It works!" Although it did not cause any harm to it, it did prevent its spread, and it seems that these plants are also afraid of fire.
But this lichen kept coming, and although Yan Hao forced back wave after wave, he gradually couldn't resist it, and Yan Hao's face turned pale.
Lin Kai can also block lichens, and his shield can keep them out.
Finally, a bright spot in the sky approached quickly, and the shuttle they called arrived.
Lin Kai didn't have a light just now, and the man in black didn't know where they were hiding, but now it was very conspicuous.
"Hey, brother, take me with you, we're only under orders." The leader of the men in black shouted.
Lin Kai laughed in his heart: How big is this person's heart that can say this.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the leader shouted again, "I can tell who is going to kill you." ā
Hearing this, Yan Hao was a little moved, but he only hesitated for a moment and still didn't reply.
The shuttle landed next to them, opened the hatch, and everyone exhaled, finally safe.
But just as the others were about to board the ship, a shell hit the shuttle.
Rumble!
"Get down!"
Uncle and Li Lin instantly knocked down a few people and dodged the oncoming flames, but several of the debris from the explosion of the spaceship shot towards them quickly.
At the critical moment, Lin Kai was very calm, at such a close distance, the fragments were about to shoot over, he concentrated his will, gritted his teeth and desperately propped up the shield, and those fragments became slower and slower and finally fell in front of them.
The good news was that Lin Kai and no one was injured, and the impact of the explosion pushed the lichen off the stone, extending the countdown for Lin Kai and the others by a few seconds, and the bad news was that their only way to survive was gone.
The hope of escape was completely shattered, and the remaining eight people sat on the ground, their faces full of despair.
The leader carrying a bazooka in the distance scolded a few words: "Do you want to leave without Lao Tzu?" Stay for me! ā
As he was cursing, he felt something click and fall on his mask, and when he reached out and touched it, a cloud of lichen that turned out to be blown away by the explosion fell on his body, and after a few screams, the leader also turned into a dry skeleton.
