Chapter 8: Strange Beasts?

"Thorn" seemed to have something flashing a spark, and the street lights flickered a few times and went out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tang Tu took out his mobile phone and turned on the "flashlight" to illuminate it.

Tonight's night seems to be unusually quiet, perhaps because of the humid low pressure, even the summer insects don't bother to call.

In June every year, Shanghai enters the rainy season, three days of light rain, five days of heavy rain, the rest of the time is hot and humid, the body feels very uncomfortable, than the summer of high temperature is more difficult.

Tang Tu quickened his pace, the humidity was not high during the day today, and he didn't bring an umbrella when he came out in the afternoon, but he didn't expect the humidity to come up at night, this kind of weather is very bad in the rain, and it won't become a soup chicken, but the rain will stick to the clothes on his body, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, since the large-scale application of emotional energy, traditional energy has slowly withdrawn from the market, and the earth's environment has improved a lot.

When the city was seriously polluted, most of the year was shrouded in haze, and people laughed at themselves at that time for "living in a fairyland".

Now the city of Shanghai is also often foggy, but it no longer contains deadly substances harmful to the human body, but it is often mixed with the fishy smell from the sea, and the smell is not so comfortable, but the most important thing is that it will not make people feel tight.

It's foggy, and the lighting of the mobile phone can't be compared with the street lamp, because of the fog, the visual distance has been shortened, and Tang Tu can only vaguely see the range of less than one meter around him.

Suddenly, Tang Tu felt a chill behind him, and something seemed to be following him behind him, and the heavy wheezing sound was getting closer and closer... He quickened his pace, almost trotting, but the sound behind him was still getting closer, and he could even hear the sound of running, but the sound of the running footsteps was less human, more like some kind of four-legged beast.

Is it a strange beast? Because the earth's environment has changed several times, the creatures living on it inevitably undergo abnormal changes, most of which are very inconspicuous, but there are also other kinds of existence, and alien beasts are the most dangerous of them.

Alien beasts are animals that have undergone genetic mutations, because genetic mutations cause their biological traits to be unstable, their life energy is greatly stimulated, and their lifespan is generally shortened. They are scarce in number, but they can be found anywhere. They are difficult to control, and most of them appear in front of people in a violent manner, posing a threat to the safety of human life and property.

Therefore, once a strange beast is discovered, human beings will adopt an attitude of complete extermination.

Tang Tu was very sure that there was some kind of creature behind him behind him, and it was probably not a human, much like the strange beast reported on the news.

Why do exotic beasts appear in cities? Is it a variation of a domestic cat or a domestic dog? Did you eat genetically modified food or drink added drinking water?

Although the earth's environment is better than before, people are still happy to make various modifications to natural food, including drinking water, for their own additional needs, and it seems that the added ingredients will taste better.

Although the concept of natural health is constantly being promoted, when the government does not recognize this, it cannot form a mainstream concept.

Human beings are always unwilling to be lonely, and they are too curious, no matter whether the living environment becomes better or worse, they always have to toss something out.

Tang Tu ran, he was not very good at sports, he usually just took a walk and exercised, as soon as he ran up, he gasped, plus the fog, or because of fear, he felt a little tightness in his chest and gasped, but he didn't dare to stop, because the wheezing sound from behind was getting closer and closer, and the footsteps were getting faster and faster, as if the thing had come to his back.

Because of being too nervous and not running often, Tang Tu inevitably stumbled, staggered and fell to the ground, and then he couldn't run.

The phone fell to the ground, because the screen was facing down, the light of the "flashlight" was covered, and Tang Tu lost his vision.

Sitting on the ground, Tang Tu held his breath and looked around vigilantly, but the wheezing sound that had just come from behind suddenly disappeared.

Was the fear just now an illusion?

Tang Tu felt that there seemed to be liquid sliding down his neck, and subconsciously wiped it with his hand, and a cool wet and sticky liquid got on his hand.

It's not an illusion, the rain won't be so sticky, the bodily fluids spewed out by this alien beast.

Tang Tu felt a little disgusted, rubbed the mucus on his hand to the ground, and didn't care if it was clean or not, he just hoped that it wouldn't be poisonous.

Unlike the panic just now, Tang Tu, who was sitting on the ground and turned around, calmed down, his eyes adjusted to the darkness, although he had no vision because of the fog, and he couldn't see anything.

Sometimes it will be like this, it is not scary to see clearly at all, but there is a little light but it is not clear to see, which is more likely to trigger people's imagination, and imagining that it is to scare oneself is the most terrible.

The mobile phone was lying on the ground, revealing a circle of light, Tang Tu thought about it and didn't pick up the phone. When the situation is unknown, it is safe to hide in the dark, but it is dangerous to hide in the light.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, a heavy wheezing sound sounded again, only this time the other party slowed down, as if it was tentative, and it seemed to be confident.

Because of the circle of light exposed, a small and slightly bright space was formed with the mobile phone as the center, Tang Tu didn't dare to move, his eyes stared at that small space.

It appeared, it was a nose, a very huge nose, which looked like the Labrador had a tenfold magnification of the nose.

Is it a mutant beast of a domestic dog? Labrador Beasts?

The nose approached the phone and loosened it a few times, because the light range was very small, it could only shine out this nose, which made Tang Tu feel very regretful, and in the next second, his heart was in his throat, his nose turned, and he was moving in the direction of Tang Tu, the other party's sense of smell was sensitive, and the darkness was ineffective against it.

didn't have time to think about it, Tang Tu got up and ran.

Because of the damp fog, the ground was a little slippery, and with his feet, Tang Tu ran very slowly and crookedly, plus he couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, and he didn't have a clear target direction, Tang Tu felt that the hope of survival was disappearing little by little.

His heart was beating faster because of fear, and Tang Tu's ears only had the sound of his heart beating, and he even wondered if this would be the last sound he heard before he died...

I don't know how long I ran, but the strange beasts behind me never caught up, but the fog on the street was gradually dissipating, and Tang Tu finally noticed something strange and stopped.

He didn't turn back, but listened intently to the movement behind him, and his body was in a position ready to start running.

There seems to be a voice talking, but it can't be heard clearly...

Tang Tu felt a tingling pain in his brain, and then he became conscious, and the stuffiness in his chest disappeared.

The fog completely dissipated, Tang Tu looked around with wide eyes, and found that he was still sitting on the ground, and his mobile phone was still on the ground, but it had been shattered into pieces, as if it had been smashed by a heavy object.

There was a corpse lying next to the phone, it was a leper dog, not a Labrador, and it was the size of a normal dog, not a giant ... Surrounded by the dog entity are three strangers, two women and one man, one of whom is wearing a white nurse's outfit and appears to be slightly older than the other two.

Tang Tu took a deep breath and stood up from the ground, walked over to pick up his mobile phone, and at this time, the three people looked at Tang Tu almost at the same time.

"Hello, are you alright?" One of the younger-looking girls asked Tang Tu.

Tang Tu shook his head, "What's going on?" ”

"Uh..." the girl looked at the boy next to her, and the boy looked at the nurse sister again, and the nurse sister looked at Tang Tu with an innocent face, "We don't know, we came here and saw you fall, and this dead dog, maybe you accidentally tripped over the dog and fell, right?" ”

The corners of Tang Tu's mouth twitched a little, if he tripped over a dog, would he not know? And are all the scenes just now all his hallucinations?

However, the three people on the other side were all looking at him, and they all had expressions of "You are the one who fell, you should explain", Tang Tu finally couldn't help but doubt, could it be a hallucination just now? What mist, big dog, wheezing, slime are just his own imagination?

"Ahem," the nurse sister coughed softly, "Well, it's late, we're going to hurry home, this dog carcass is not very good in the middle of the road, in case anyone trips again, let's find a place to bury it." ”

The nurse's sister glanced at the other two, and the boy took out a pair of gloves from his bag and put them on, looking a little exquisite, but the girl didn't, and the two of them lifted the dog's corpse head and foot.

Seeing that Tang Tu was still in a daze, the nurse sister waved her hand to Tang Tu, "Then goodbye..."

The three of them didn't care about Tang Tu's reaction, and walked to the side with the dog's corpse, they stopped at the door of a closed Internet café along the street, the nurse sister opened the door, and the three disappeared into the Internet café.

Tang Tu frowned, he couldn't figure it out, he didn't understand why he suddenly hallucinated, could it be that he was sick? Going to the hospital tomorrow for a full check-up?

When he got home, Tang Tu took off his clothes and took a bath, carefully checked his clothes and his body, and found no traces of mucus, and his palms were dusty, which was rubbed from the ground, but there were also no traces of liquid.

There was no evidence of what he was seeing except for his phone in pieces, as if it was really just a hallucination.

After taking a shower, Tang Tu sat on the bed and pieced together the pieces of the mobile phone, the pieces that were too small were not compared, and the rough shape came out.

Tang Tu took a breath.

The phone is split from the back, there is a dent in the protective case on the back, which is shattered with the dent in the center, and the shape of the dent is a paw, a dog's melon seed, normal size, not giant ...

Tang Tu thought that he would lose sleep tonight, but when his head touched the pillow, he quickly fell asleep.

It was another nightmare, but the fog in the dream did not block Tang Tu's vision, and he saw the whole dream clearly, as if he had experienced it himself.

This nightmare is like a repetition of what was experienced on the street before.

First of all, Tang Tu was walking alone on the silent street, and a stray leper dog came out of the garbage can, at first it silently followed Tang Tu, and it didn't take long for a thick mist to erupt from its mouth.

The mist spread from the dog's mouth and enveloped the streets, including Tang Tu. The dog barked at the street lamp, and the filament burned and the lamp went out.

In the dark, Tang Tu turned on his phone, he didn't know the dog that appeared behind him, and he didn't know that the fog and the street lights went out because of the dog behind him.

Suddenly, Tang Tu's hand trembled, his face was distorted as if he was enduring great pain, the mobile phone fell from his hand and fell to the ground, and Tang Tu also sat on the ground with his head in his hands.

In the second darkness, the dog walked over, one of its paws stepped on the back of the mobile phone, and the mobile phone shattered in response, and then it opened its mouth and panted to look at Tang Tu on the side, and its eyes flashed with an inexplicable white light.

The dog's posture changed, as if it was about to pounce on Tang Tu, and at this moment, three people ran out of the Internet café not far away, and it was the stranger Tang Tu had seen.

Running at the front was the boy, holding a tablet in his left hand and a little on the computer screen with his right hand, and a card appeared in his hand.

"Sister Wei, it's too late, the dog has lost self-control."

"Then you can only kill it and protect the safety of passers-by."

The boy threw the card in his hand towards the dog, and the card turned into a fist-shaped white light in the air, and hit the dog's head in an arc, and the dog fell to the ground with a "hmm", almost instantaneously dead.

Then the fog disappeared, Tang Tu regained consciousness, and what happened next was exactly the same as what Tang Tu had experienced.

Early the next morning, Tang Tu woke up and found himself sweating, and even Xia Liang was soaked. When he took a shower, the scene from last night and the scene in the dream alternated in his mind, what was the truth of the matter? What is real?

Tang Tu felt terrible, like picking a reality from hallucinations and nightmares, no matter which choice was nonsense.

Those three people don't seem to live far away, and that Internet café is their home? Want to find out? Or is it just a mess and forget about it?

Tang Tu glanced at the broken mobile phone lying on the table, got dressed and went out to buy a new mobile phone.

There is nothing to pick when buying a mobile phone, practicality and cost performance are the most important, Tang Tu quickly bought a mobile phone and went back.

However, walking on the street last night, Tang Tu saw the street lamp with a broken filament, and the workers were removing the lampshade on it.

Tang Tu took a breath and lowered his head, stared at his toes and walked forward, unconsciously coming to the Internet café.

If he didn't figure out the facts, Tang Tu felt that he might not dare to walk that street in the future, and he was afraid that he would continue to have nightmares.

The Internet café is closed for business, and a sign saying "closed for one day" is hung on it.

Tang Tu rang the doorbell a few times, and after a while, someone came out to answer the door, it was the younger girl last night.

Tang Tu's arrival surprised the girl very much, but she didn't keep Tang Tu out of the door, but opened the door and let him enter the Internet café.

After Tang Tu entered, the girl closed the door of the Internet café again, "You came here for what happened last night, right?" Sister Wei and Xiaochao are in the yard, let's go over there and talk. ”
