Chapter 5: The Beast
The half-human, half-beast monster that appeared in the darkness was actually transformed by Lin Ge, such a story can only happen in mythological stories, but now it has appeared in the real world.
The monster grinned, baring a row of sharp fangs, and its eyes stared fiercely at its prey.
Chen Lingfeng and Mo Xiaoli leaned close together, their bodies trembling involuntarily with fear.
The monster suddenly stopped moving forward, and stood in place as if admiring the desperation of its prey before death.
The two men and one beast confronted each other from a distance of about twenty meters, except for the sound of breathing, there was no other sound in this space, and it was suppressed to the point that it was coming.
"Click, click" The monster lowered its head and made two sounds like broken wooden planks from its mouth, its upper body leaned towards the ground, its front paws pressed a hole in the ground, and then its limbs exerted force, rushing towards Chen Lingfeng and Mo Xiaoli.
"Get out of the way!" The monster was extremely fast, and in an instant, it had rushed in front of the two of them, Chen Lingfeng only felt a gust of fishy wind rushing in his face, and he pushed Mo Xiaoli aside with a loud roar, and he could turn sideways and dodge the monster's attack in embarrassment.
The monster was obviously not very familiar with this new body, and one leg had not yet been formed, so it was too late to control the balance of its body with a single blow, and rushed to the train car in an oblique stab.
With a muffled "boom", the monster smashed the car body into a large piece, and the horns on its head pierced into the carriage and couldn't pull it out for a while.
"Run!" Chen Lingfeng hurriedly pulled up the frightened Mo Xiaoli, and the two ran in the direction where the monster came.
In the dark tunnel, two faint fires stretched the figures of the two running, and I don't know how long they ran, and there was a strong smell of blood wafting in front of them.
The two rushed closer, and once again there was a nightmare in front of them. Eight wooden sticks of various sizes were stuck in the ground, and each of them was tied to the body of a student with strips of cloth from their clothes, and each corpse was dark red from top to bottom, as if it had been soaked in blood, and some of the corpses had traces of being eaten by some kind of creature.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Mo Xiaoli hurriedly covered her mouth and almost threw up.
"Chu Jie!" At this time, Chen Lingfeng found that the body of Hou Chujie, who had disappeared, was also tied to a wooden stick, and the forearm of his right hand was nowhere to be seen.
He hurriedly put Hou Chujie off the wooden stick, and couldn't help but feel sad when he saw that his former friend was so destroyed and couldn't leave a whole corpse after his death.
But there was no room for delay, and he knew that the terrible monster behind him would catch up at any moment.
All he can do for his friend now is to make his body more comfortable.
Chen Lingfeng laid Hou Chujie's body flat on the ground, and found a few more clothes to hurriedly cover him.
After doing all this, he got up and pulled Mo Xiaoli up, and the two continued to walk forward.
After a while, the two of them came to a place full of backpacks, and the clothes in the backpacks were scattered all over the ground. But across this boundary, despair swept over again.
A collapsed boulder wall appeared in front of the two of them like a nightmare, and the carriage was cut in two, and the broken carriage fell sideways under the collapsed boulder, locking them up like a cage.
"How can this be..."Chen Lingfeng slammed his fist on the toppled carriage.
"Ling Feng..."Mo Xiaoli wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't say it. Maybe that's what fate will do.
Silence is the inner monologue of the two at this moment, despair has torn them apart, and the final blow of fate has also come to the elbow.
The monster slowly appeared behind them with a low roar, like the Last Judgment, the hideous wolf face shaking strangely in the light of the fire.
Chen Lingfeng looked at the monster not far away, and remembered the tragic situation of Hou Chujie's corpse, and anger rose in his heart.
"We can't just sit still!" Chen Lingfeng looked at Mo Xiaoli on the side and said.
"But what are we going to do in this situation?" Mo Xiaoli was still afraid of this monster beyond her cognition.
"We still have some solid fuel and a bottle of accelerant in our backpack, throw them all on the clothes on the ground and ignite it!" Chen Lingfeng put the solid fuel in his hand on a pile of clothes on the ground, and suddenly a flame burst into flames.
Mo Xiaoli also threw the solid fuel in the backpack she was carrying onto the clothes on the ground, she understood that Chen Lingfeng wanted to build a wall of fire to make a last resistance to the monster.
The two quickly threw out all the solid fuel, and finally poured the accelerant on the lit clothes, and the flame immediately rose into a huge flame, forming a wall of fire in front of the two of them.
"Come on! You ugly monster! Chen Lingfeng held his knife and roared hysterically at the monster outside the wall of fire. But the monster just stood there and watched them, as if knowing that this was just the last struggle of the dying prey.
Soon the flames dwelf, the wall of fire gradually shrank, and the monster slowly moved towards the two of them.
When life hung by a thread, the straight flame seemed to have life and pressed down in one direction.
"Wind?!" Chen Lingfeng jerked his head back and looked at the collapsed boulder behind him.
"Xiaoli, climb into the carriage!" Chen Lingfeng shouted at Mo Xiaoli on the side. Mo Xiaoli didn't have time to react, so she ran straight to the dumped carriage and climbed up.
"Xiaoli, look carefully to see if there are gaps on those collapsed boulders!" Chen Lingfeng was still confronting the monster by the wall of fire, shouting with his back to Mo Xiaoli.
Mo Xiaoli took advantage of the firelight to carefully search the boulder, and finally made a low gap in the upper right corner of the boulder, barely enough for a person to drill through.
"Ling Feng, there really is a gap here!" Mo Xiaoli shouted excitedly, with a taste of desperate survival.
Chen Lingfeng threw the last pot of solid fuel in his hand at the monster, turned around and ran towards the carriage. At this time, the wall of fire had shrunk to a very small extent, and the monster could no longer hold on, jumping over the wall of fire and rushing towards Chen Lingfeng.
Jumping into the carriage, Chen Lingfeng hurriedly supported Mo Xiaoli to climb up to the gap, at this time, the monster also pounced in front of him, Chen Lingfeng took the backpack on his body and threw it at the monster, the monster's front paws tore the backpack into two, he clinged to the collapsed boulder, and was able to avoid the monster's attack.
The monster had just jumped into the carriage and slipped down again due to the leg connection. Taking this opportunity, Chen Lingfeng turned around and jumped towards the gap, and Mo Xiaoli grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
The two finally made their way through the collapsed boulder wall.
"Ling Feng, look, it's an exit!" Mo Xiaoli pointed to the white light in the distance and shouted.
Chen Lingfeng looked up at the exit, and there was a monster's roar behind him, and the monster also jumped into the gap, and forced his brute force to squeeze through the stones at the gap.
The two didn't have time to think about it, and ran towards the ring white light in the distance.
The white light is getting bigger and bigger, and the hole is getting clearer and clearer.
Finally, the two rushed out of the tunnel, and the long-lost sunlight made the two people who had been in the dark for a long time unable to adapt for a while, and they fell to the ground with a dizziness in front of them.
The monster behind it chased to the entrance of the cave and stopped, it hid in the shadows, and howled as it watched the two people who fell to the ground, and it did not come out of the tunnel as if it was afraid of the sun.
There was a "bang" of gunshots, and the bullet hit the monster in the forehead, and the monster fell to the ground in response, and blood splattered everywhere.
Chen Lingfeng raised his head, his eyes had not yet adjusted to the sunlight, and a vague figure in the distance walked towards them.
