Chapter 499: Violent Death
As his body unconsciously shook like chaff, Zhang Xu was scared half to death, and he was so frightened that he peed his crotch on the spot.
Then, turn around and run.
Fortunately, the man still retains some reason in fear, which makes him feel a little at ease, and the reason why he is at peace is speed!
It's faster than the scorpion!
Based on last night's experience, Zhang Xu knew that this group of mantis was slow, so taking advantage of the fact that the group of mantis was not fast, he still had enough confidence to get rid of the pursuit like last night.
Sure enough, the guess was completely correct, as Zhang Xu ran wildly with his legs, and with the man running desperately, in the end, he successfully got rid of the group of mantis behind him!
But......
Although he had escaped the pursuit, although he had gotten rid of the swarm, he still found one thing, an astonishing change that he could clearly feel.
That is, under the normal running state, the group of mantis that could be quickly thrown off in only ten minutes last night took him half an hour today! And it's still in the state of accelerated running!
At first he was a little incomprehensible, until he rested for a long time, and it was not until a few hours later that he finally figured it out, figured out one thing, and thought of a terrible guess that had caused him to have his heart broken:
That is, after a day, the speed of movement of the swarm increases!!
………
The lonely soul, a kind of mantis, belongs to the low-level existence of the mantis, different from the sting, although most of the stalkers are crazy and most delirious, but the stalkers can take the initiative to search for prey with their monstrous hatred, take the initiative to shuttle everywhere, and then slaughter the prey, and even a few stalkers still retain a certain level of consciousness.
This kind of fierce moth is more dangerous and more threatening to mankind!
However, the lone soul is different, the lone soul has zero self-awareness, 'they' don't have a purposeful search for prey, and they don't have the terrifying strength of the stalk, 'they' are just dazed, wandering endlessly in a specific location, and can only rely on the mantis instinct to chase and kill the prey that enters their wandering place, but ......
Rao is so, and the lonely soul is just as terrible.
'They' tend to be in groups, and 'they' don't know how to back down at all.
And what's even more terrifying is ......
They will advance, and they will produce some unknown changes after they come into contact with a living person and even absorb enough yang energy from a living person.
………
Zhang Xu panicked.
He was more panicked than ever, he was at a loss when he was panicked, and he was scared like falling into an ice vault.
There is only one reason, and the reason is that he understands people, and realizes that the situation is not good from the increase in the speed of the swarm.
Everything has its relativity, and the speed of the mantis increases, but what about themselves?
But the speed is not as good as before!
As mentioned above, because he has been trapped here for a long time, his spirit has begun to be exhausted, his physical strength has been seriously weakened, and the escape just now has further consumed a lot of physical strength, so the last few pieces of bread have been eaten early, only the last half bottle of water remains, and what is even more desperate is ......
From the third day onwards, not only at night, but also occasionally during the day, there will be occasional shadows around the road!!
The mind returns to reality, and the picture returns to the path.
Yin and Yang Road.
Hula, hula.
The cool breeze blew, blowing the rustling of leaves, under the tree, Zhang Xu, who was sitting with his back to paralyzed, was desperate, and now it was the afternoon of the fourth day of the mission, fear accompanied him, equipment wrapped around him, he, fear to the extreme, his lips were dry, hungry and tired mixed with severe hunger and thirst, so he couldn't help it, unscrewed the bottle cap in his hand, and drank the last half of the bottle of water.
Then, he began to look around with a vigilant gaze, watching the surroundings and observing everything, even if the number of mantis during the day was far less than at night, but now it was the fourth day after all, and the speed of the mantis was getting faster and faster day by day, and he was now weak and powerless, once he encountered the mantis again, then there was no doubt that he had more and more hope of escaping.
Under the tree, Zhang Xu's nerves were tense, his eyes scanned, as if he was on high alert, obviously, because he knew that the mantis would not make a sound when they moved, he had no choice but to use the bloodshot eyes due to lack of sleep.
At this moment, Zhang Xu hid under the tree while praying continuously, praying that the mantis would not find himself, and that the rest of the executors would complete the task as soon as possible, so that he could get out of the sea of suffering, get out of the road, and then return to the hell train.
Wishes are always so good.
Unfortunately, however, a wish is a wish after all, and it is just an unrealistic illusion.
What are the facts?
The truth is that danger often happens in places you don't expect, even if you are indeed mentally stressed and highly guarded, but human beings are human beings after all, and they are ignored after all.
It was too late, and when Zhang Xu opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings of the highway one after another, something appeared in the dense and complicated branches and leaves of the big tree behind him, that is, just above the top of the tree where he was hiding.
Quietly something more......
A head pokes out from top to bottom in an upside-down handstand, and a human head slowly emerges from the trunk of the tree!!
It was the head of an old man with a wrinkled face, which had been extending downward since it was poked out, silently, first the head poked out, and then the neck, shoulders, chest and other parts were slowly revealed from the tree trunk above, until half of the body was exposed to the outside world, that is to say, a person hung down above the tree, and an old man who could only see the upper body and the trunk of the tree below the waist appeared inexplicably.
At this moment, the half-length old man appeared above Zhang Xu's head like this, and the distance between the two was only two meters!
It's not over......
After the old man appeared, he was silent for a moment, slowly lowered his head, looked down, and looked at Zhang Xu, who was still sitting under the tree.
Then, the old man moved, and the old man, who had not reacted much since he appeared, moved, and with all the movements of the half-body old man, an even more creepy scene appeared......
The old man stretched out his arms and slowly lowered his two arms, which were as thin as wooden sticks, towards downwards, towards the tree, and towards Zhang Xu, who was dazed and had not noticed anything unusual on the top of his head from beginning to end.
If you observe from the third perspective, you can clearly see that the old man's drooping arms are logically out of reach of Zhang Xu, after all, the distance between the two sides is as much as two meters, but as the old man's arms are fully extended, they continue to extend and continue to elongate! It's growing little by little without limits, and it's getting closer!
Will people have a premonition, will there be an abrupt sign of danger?
The answer is different from person to person, under the tree, it is undeniable that Zhang Xu did not notice the abnormality above his head, let alone the old man above, however, Rao is so, the man still feels a coldness, a coldness that is different from the cold breeze around him, but inexplicably, for no reason, his heart is cold, cold, so cold, the sudden cold caused him to shiver suddenly, and then, he, in an instant, his eyes widened, and his body trembled in an instant, because ......
He saw it, and his eyes caught a scene just as he looked around him:
Directly in front of the field of vision, that is, on the other side of the road, seven or eight figures appeared at some point, and as soon as the figures appeared, they quickly floated towards his location.
It's a mantis!
As the distance closed, he could clearly see that those 'people' were all blank below their knees, all floating in the air, all with their heads lowered, very fast, even extremely close to the speed of human running!
The guess was completely correct, and the speed of the moth increased, getting faster with each passing day!!
"Ahh
Sure enough, when he saw a few mantis and found that he rushed towards him for the first time, Zhang Xu let out an exclamation, and hurriedly got up from under the tree to turn around and escape, but ......
Smack.
In the flash of light, just the moment he got up, he didn't wait to raise his feet and run wildly, with a soft snap, Zhang Xu couldn't move.
It's not that I don't want to run, but because I ......
He was caught.
There was a sharp pain in the scalp, and my hair was grabbed by something!
"Woo!"
Because his hair was caught, he couldn't look up at the top at all, let alone see what was clutching him above, so he could only struggle, he could only struggle desperately in unattainable fear, and while struggling, he stretched out his hand to the top of his head in the hope of getting out of the predicament, obviously, Zhang Xu realized that the situation was not good, not to mention what caught himself above, just by the few stings floating straight on the other side of the road, he was already frightened by the screams, he must get rid of the clamp as soon as possible, otherwise he will die!
Who would have thought ......
The hands had just been raised, and they didn't even wait to reach out to the top of their heads, and in the next second, a head hung down, falling from above in the blink of an eye, and the face full of wrinkles and miserable white also happened to be face to face with Zhang Xu, and the face that was close at hand!
Seeing that the entire field of vision was instantly filled with human faces, and seeing that the face was bloodless and full of wrinkles, and even more seeing that the human face was staring at him, the man was stunned for a moment, and then ......
"Ahhh!!h
It's screaming, it's shuddering, it's adrenal rushing, it's unattainable fear.
The pupils suddenly dilated at this moment, the voice trembled at this moment, the body trembled like a chaff sieve at this moment, the lower body flowed feces and urine at this moment, and a stench came out from the crotch of the pants.
Then, there is sorrow, despair, and unimaginable miserable hell.
Yes, because the old man with the hair was clutched, he couldn't escape, and a few seconds later, seven or eight stings floating in front of him completely floated in front of Zhang Xu.
As for Zhang Xu, when he saw himself surrounded by mantises, he howled and cried, howling wantonly, along with the yellow sticky matter that continued to gush out like a tide in the crotch of his pants, he cried desperately and struggled frantically, but the thin human hand on the top of his head was as strong as a vice, and he couldn't break free, and at the same time, on both sides of the side, several mantis that had now surrounded the man in the middle also stretched out their hands, stretched their arms forward, and stretched out to Zhang Xu's body, In the end, the incomprehensible ways have submerged into the man's body!
Yes, there is no touch, no contact, although these disembodied lonely soul wild moths can't be physically touched, but without exception, they probed their hands into Zhang Xu's body, and it was precisely because there was no entity, so when the scorpion hand was submerged into the body, Zhang Xu's body did not appear a trace of scarring, and the whole process was inexplicable, and people were stunned.
What's even weird......
As for Zhang Xu, as the hands of the stingers submerged into the body, the man's wailing and struggle also stopped in an instant, his wide open eyes began to roll up, his body shook violently, and at the same time, the skin of his face and body began to turn white rapidly, and the whole body also changed together as he turned white.
The eye sockets quickly darken, the face quickly sunken, and the body muscles atrophy rapidly and wither rapidly......
Five minutes later.
The seven or eight mantiths that had originally surrounded Zhang Xu moved again, and they all pulled their arms out of the target's body, and the old man on the tree also loosened the target's hair, but it was just ......
After the collective retracted their arms, several of the mantis under the tree, as well as the old man on the tree, all changed, such as their eyes.
Yes, if the eyes of these mantis before the attack were all dazed and scattered, all of them were dull, then when 'they' withdrew their hands, they saw that the dazedness in their eyes disappeared, and the godlessness disappeared and was replaced......
It's crimson!
It was all full of murderous intent and madness!!
After a few more moments, the mantis scattered and disappeared into the distance, and the old man retracted into the trunk and disappeared.
In the end, the only thing left was a corpse, the corpse of a man lying on the ground.
The camera shifts to the bottom of the tree, and it can be further discovered that it is a dried corpse, a withered and dried corpse!
This is Zhang Xu's corpse, he has become a dry corpse, and the dry corpse now can't see what the man used to look like, the face of the dry corpse is extremely distorted, he, with a hideous expression and a wide open mouth, seems to have experienced some kind of pain and torture before he died.
Zhang Xu died, died in this silent yin and yang road.
………
Dada!
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
Somewhere in the endless wilderness, the silence was broken, broken by a series of running footsteps from far and near, and as time went on, the slightly chaotic footsteps grew louder and faster.
Eventually, a gruesome image is revealed in the wilderness.
At the foreground of the picture is a bald man running in a panic, a burly man in a black vest, panting and running wildly, while a few meters behind him is followed by an old woman, an old woman suspended in the air.
The old woman was expressionless and silent, and just like that, she followed in a floating form, following behind the man, following each other like maggots on tarsal bones!!
Time passes quietly in fear, and fear gradually increases in running.
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
Wheezing and churning, sweating like rain, Peng Hu didn't know how long he had been running, but he could clearly feel the sharp decline in physical fitness, even if his physical fitness was indeed strong, so strong that it far exceeded ordinary humans, but running for such a long time was still not something he could bear, rest, he had to rest, otherwise he would be exhausted to death, exhausted to death.
It's a pity that he can't stop, he definitely can't stop, once he stops, he will be finished, and he will be caught up by the grandmother behind him, so he can only grit his teeth and hold on, stiffen his head and continue to run, continue to run forward.
The running has not stopped for a long time, and the escape continues.
Another 10 minutes passed......
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
At this moment, Peng Hu was sweating like rain, panting, and his physical strength was further decayed, resulting in a much slower speed than before, seeing this, the bald man was desperate, he gradually recognized the reality, and gradually realized that it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that he would be caught up, it was just a matter of time.
(It's over, it's over, I didn't expect that today would be the day of my surname Peng's death, I didn't expect that I would die in this kind of place!) Lao Tzu is unwilling! )
As mentioned above, seeing that the physical strength is difficult to support, seeing that the speed is getting slower and slower, the bald man recognizes the situation, sees the reality clearly, he thinks that his life is short, and all of the above comes from the negative emotions when he is forced into a desperate situation, the desperate situation makes people collapse, and the collapse makes people despair, however, there is another saying that is very good, that is......
Counterproductive.
When a person is completely desperate but too unwilling, at this time, this person will block despair for survival, block all cranky thoughts and rack their brains to find, looking for that seemingly hopeful of survival.
Finally, when he fell into despair completely, when he completely thought that he was going to die, Peng Hu was not afraid, not only was he no longer afraid of something in his mind, he recalled what He Fei had said when he was in the hotel:
"I don't think Grandma should have the ability to attack physically, and 'her' main means of attack should only be illusion and possession."
For some reason, as he suddenly recalled this sentence in his mind, combined with the fact that he was being chased and running, Peng Hu suddenly realized one thing, a detail that he had never thought about or even cared about before, that is, why did Grandma just chase herself all the way? Just a catch-up? Even now, she still maintains a catch-up posture, even if the loss of her physical energy slows down, but Grandma still doesn't catch herself as expected, and then take her life.
Yes, after all, Peng Hu didn't think that a fierce spirit like Grandma Moth, which obviously belonged to the level of a dragon, would not be able to catch up with a mere human.
Unless......
Unless the other party does not have the ability to kill themselves directly, unless the other party has other plans!
Maybe Grandma was using the chase to increase my psychological pressure, weaken my physical strength, and eventually lead me into some kind of death trap!
Groov!
Thinking of this, Peng Hu suddenly felt angry.
(Hemn!) Vicious !! )
Yes, although Peng Hu is afraid of mittings, but the bald man is a master who dares to fight at a critical juncture, it is undeniable that under ordinary circumstances, he will desperately run away whenever there is a trace of life, but when he is completely in a desperate situation, when there is no way to escape, the bald man will instead make a last stand, he has done this in the past supernatural missions, so it is natural, after figuring out this, after faintly realizing that this should be a death trap, Peng Hu stopped!
Stopped running instantly, suddenly stopped, and then turned back suddenly with a hideous expression, and suddenly shouted: "What hell is the dead old woman! There is a kind of to kill Lao Tzu! What the hell am I ......?"
"Huh?"
The expression froze instantly, and the roar stopped instantly.
After that, the whole person was stunned, and just maintained his head-turning action and froze on the spot, stunned in place.
The reason is very simple, it is because when Peng Hu turned around in the last second, what danger was there in his field of vision? Where else is there any moth to pursue? There was nothing behind him, and Grandma M, who had been chasing after her, was gone, and she disappeared without a trace.
"This, this ......"
Seeing this, Peng Hu was stunned for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses, Xu was too disbelieving what he saw in his eyes, and then looked left and right up and down, and the result was still the same, no matter where he looked, no matter which direction he searched, he never saw a trace of Grandma M's shadow.
Could it be that Grandma has given up chasing and killing herself?
Or do you know that you don't have the ability to physically attack, so you hide when you see your prey and don't run?
Or is there some other conspiracy?
In fact, no matter what the conspiracy of Grandma Ms is, Peng Hu now understands the purpose of Grandma M's attack on him this time, that is, to stop, prevent the news from leaking, and prevent him from revealing the urn news to the big army!!
After all, he is the only executor among all who knows the whereabouts of the urn, if Grandma Ms doesn't want to be solved, then the other party will definitely show up to stop him and prevent him from joining with other executors, only in this way can he avoid the executor from threatening Grandma himself, and only in this way can he disrupt the executor's plan.
How to scramble? Killing people is the best option, and shutting yourself up forever is the best way.
As described in the past, Peng Hu is not a fool, the bald man also has the analytical thinking ability that is not inferior to the rest of the veterans, and sure enough, after figuring out the key points of the problem, Peng Hu became nervous again!
Why the nervousness? There is only one answer, for example, this moment is a golden opportunity to extinguish the mouth, because ...... Now he is alone!
I'm in a state of being alone!
Peng Hu knew that he was still not out of danger, although the grandmother disappeared, but the sense of crisis became more and more intense, thinking of this, he looked up and looked around, and observed the environment again, however, it was okay not to look at it, at a glance, the bald man who had just forcibly calmed down changed his complexion in an instant, his body trembled, and his earlier composure instantly collapsed, and the whole person was stunned, inexplicably afraid, and even several times more frightened when he was chased by the predecessors!
Why? Because, the field of vision is straight ahead......
A highway appears.
An impressive suburban road.
The familiar road sections, the familiar intersections, the trees and vegetation on both sides, and the weeds on both sides of the road......
Yinyang Road!!
It is the place where the executor first entered the mission world, and it is also the place where countless stellar monsters were frequently chased and killed.
Yin-Yang Road, here is Yin-Yang Road!
As soon as he saw the road, Peng Hu trembled like a cat that had been stepped on by his tail, his feet staggered, and the whole person subconsciously took a few steps back, and at the same time, an ominous premonition also surfaced in his heart, causing sweat to come out, and the cold sweat on his forehead that had just dried appeared again.
(How come?) I shouldn't have run here, I shouldn't, I shouldn't. )
"Goo."
In fear, mixed with sweat and heartbeat, in order to further verify whether the guess was correct, after swallowing his saliva, he turned his gaze and swept his eyes around, and then, he was confirmed, or rather, he saw a picture that he least wanted to see:
Hula, hula.
The cool breeze was howling, and figures appeared all around.
In the distance, figures came and went, and bodies suddenly appeared, gathering together at some point, and then floating from all directions, coming from all directions, moving towards their location!!
