Chapter 4: A Time of Despair

"What's going on?"

Chen Qing hurriedly ran over, only to see a bloody corpse.

The corpse's internal organs were gone, the head was not lost, and the bright red blood flowed all over the ground, emitting a pungent and fishy smell.

He ...... He ......"

Zhou Sheng's face turned pale, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the corpse.

"Silence, or you might attract monsters!" Chen Qing interrupted.

The corpse was dressed in the clerk's uniform, and it was most likely killed in the store, and no one could guarantee that the monster had stayed away, and once it went and returned, the clerk would not be alone on Huangquan Road.

Zhou Sheng suddenly shut up, got up tremblingly, his face was pale, and the speed of sweeping the shelves was a little faster.

A few minutes passed, and the two hurried back to the sewer with two bags full of food, and moved the manhole cover back to cover the space above, so that they felt much more relieved.

"You've got a lot of strength!" Zhou Sheng admired.

"Oh?"

Chen Qing raised his eyebrows: "How can you see it?" ”

"You are holding canned food and drinks, very heavy, a bag is at least fifty or sixty pounds, you actually carry a bag in each hand, and you can walk fast!" Zhou Sheng opened the canned fish and said, "This food is enough for us to eat for a few days, why don't we cross the bridge and hide in the sewer first?" ”

Looking at the miserable appearance of the clerk, he had the idea of retreating.

Crossing the bridge and leaving the city?

It's not necessarily safe to wait for them outside, so why bother?

The thought came to his mind, and he lingered, and he convinced himself perfectly.

"At most, we can wait until tomorrow." Chen Qing thought for a while and said.

"Why?"

"The sewers are not completely safe places, and staying here all the time, I feel like sitting still." Chen Qingdao.

Currently safe does not mean that it will always be safe, once the existence of mutated rats or cockroaches and centipedes is discovered, they can just wait for death.

Zhou Sheng was not convinced and retorted: "What can you do if you leave the city?" ”

"At least the place outside the city is wide and flat enough, and when the time comes, you can find a car and a few barrels of oil, and if you are found, you will have a chance to escape." Chen Qingdao, "And I suspect that the ferocious mutant creatures in the city should have escaped from the zoo, and it can't be said that there are no outside, but they are very rare, and the chance of encountering them is very low." ”

"But ......"

Zhou Sheng wanted to say more, but he was speechless.

……

At night, I can't see my fingers.

Listening to Zhou Sheng's snoring, Chen Qing didn't sleep and remained awake.

One is that he is afraid of being attacked to death by unknown creatures and needs someone to keep vigil, and the second is that the beads in his trouser pocket give him plenty of energy and he is not sleepy for the time being.

Taking out the beads in his trouser pocket, Chen Qing found that it had shrunk from its original fist to the size of a glass marble, and it might disappear completely after a while.

"What the hell is this, so amazing?" He frowned.

He had been carrying beads all day today, and he could see that they had two effects.

One is to replenish physical strength and energy, and the other is to strengthen one's own strength.

Zhou Sheng admired his strength, but in fact, his strength was increased by beads, otherwise it would be impossible to walk easily with such a heavy bag.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The sky was bright, and the sun was scattered on the earth.

Chen Qing climbed out of the sewer with two bottles of mineral water and five cans in a plastic bag and asked, "You really don't want to go out with you?" ”

"I'll forget it." Zhou Sheng shook his head, "I think I will be saved if I stay a few more days." ”

"Okay then, hopefully we'll have a chance to meet."

In fact, Chen Qing didn't dare to guarantee that what he did was wrong, since everyone had their own ideas, Chen Qing could only go with him.

Keeping cautious and walking out for a distance, Chen Qing saw a bridge with no end in sight.

The bridge is magnificent, wide and flat, but empty, with a slight fog in the early morning, and the occasional vehicle parked on the bridge.

"Strange ......"

There was the sound of the tide lapping in his ears, facing the sea breeze, and the sun shone on Chen Qing's face, but he frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

He could understand that there was no one on the bridge, but it was too clean to walk and there was no blood left, let alone a corpse.

It's weird!

I couldn't see why, but Chen Qing didn't want to retreat, kept vigilant, and he stepped on this quiet and depressing bridge.

After four or five kilometers, there were no accidents.

There are no monsters on the bridge, so why does no one choose to leave the city like him?

Although puzzled, if he could, he didn't want to know the answer before crossing the entire bridge.

After another five kilometers, Chen Qing's doubts dissipated as he encountered more than a dozen people.

Seeing Chen Qing, those people beckoned.

"You're going out of the city too?" Chen Qing stepped forward.

"Yes, the young man is quite bold and dares to act alone." The big man led by him was estimated to be in his thirties, with bronze skin, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his arm muscles were coiled, and he looked very secure, and when he saw Chen Qing alone, he couldn't help but smile.

Chen Qing shook his head: "I admire you for being able to gather so many people." ”

The mutation was too sudden, and it was easy for people to be hunted, and he really couldn't figure out why so many people gathered around Dahan.

"Young man, you don't know this, the big brother in front of you is super powerful, and he actually knocked over several mutant rats by himself." Someone explained.

I see......

Chen Qing nodded, surprised: "Big brother, you are really good!" ”

Kill mutant rats alone?

This is already quite an achievement.

"Let's not talk about these things first, let's go quickly, there are still a few kilometers out of the city, and then we will talk about it." The big man waved his hand.

"Hmm."

……

More than a dozen people went on the road together, quite safe.

Through the exchange, Chen Qing learned that the big man's name was Zhang Dafei and he practiced taekwondo.

Behind Zhang Dafei, Chen Qing could see several round objects stuffed in his pocket, and he was quite envious.

Beads can increase strength, and get so many beads, this Zhang Dafei is afraid that his strength is much stronger than before.

"Hey, there's food in this car?" After traveling a certain distance, Zhang Dafei turned his head and saw food in an empty car, and couldn't help but reach out and clasp the door.

"Bang!"

With a little force, the car door was directly torn off by him, but he himself felt that it didn't matter, and his face was relaxed.

"Doodoo ......"

The car honked immediately.

This scene stunned more than a dozen people.

Pull off the car door?

How much effort is that?

Chen Qing squinted: "The improvement of the strength of the beads seems to be able to surpass the limits of the human body?" ”

Zhang Dafei's strength, in his opinion, is very likely to surpass human beings with the warm current given by beads.

Taking out the food, Zhang Dafei said generously: "Let's share it, everyone should be hungry after walking for so long." ”

"Brother Fei is amazing!"

"If I can survive, Da Fei, you will be my savior!"

……

A bunch of people were impressed and scolded him.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the bridge shook violently, and most of the people were unsteady and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Chen Qing, who had obtained the beads, had strengthened his body, and the chassis was more stable than ordinary people, and he moved a few steps left and right, but he did not fall.

Only Zhang Dafei stood steadily, his face was pale, and he regretted it: "Damn, I shouldn't have touched that car!" ”

Obviously, it was the loud horn that caused the calamity.

"What's the situation, the monster is going to appear?"

"Don't be afraid, Brother Da Fei will protect us."

After a few seconds, the tremors died down, and everyone got up from the ground in embarrassment, with palpitations.

"I don't think Big Fei can protect us." Chen Qing suddenly spoke, and his words were very disappointing.

His hairs stood on end, his scalp was numb, and his intense fear could not be contained, which was indelible in his heart.

"How do you speak?"

"Didn't you see the strength of Brother Da Fei just now? Monsters may not have beaten him! ”

Untimely words have attracted a lot of condemnation and questioning.

That's the last thing they want to hear at the moment.

"Really?"

Chen Qing raised his hand and pointed to the sea not far away, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what expression to make: "Do you think Brother Da Fei is the opponent of that kind of monster?" ”

Everyone followed the direction of his finger, and all of a sudden, horror spread all over everyone's face.

In the distance, a giant octopus emerges from the sea and is in full view.

It only shows the tip of the iceberg, but it is seven or eight meters high, and a large number of crimson tentacles more than ten meters away are thick and powerful, and a large number of suckers that make the scalp tingle tremble, absorbing shrimp and sea fish, and sometimes a tentacle slaps the sea surface, rolling up stormy waves.

It's a troll in the truest sense of the word!

There is no doubt that it can touch the bridge and even ......

Destroy the bridge!

"How can there be such a monster...... "Someone sat on the bridge, stunned, and his legs trembled with fright.

Against such a behemoth?

Are you kidding!

Can you win?

In front of everyone's eyes, the super giant octopus is rapidly approaching, and at the same time, everyone on the bridge is approaching, and death!

……
