Chapter 433: Hands in the Sewers
At the same time, a black shadow suddenly burst out from the side of the road, and Xia Ren hurriedly stepped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel at the same time, but he still couldn't avoid it.
After the car crashed into the black shadow, it lost control and slammed on the telephone pole next to it, and then it could stop.
This battered taxi doesn't have an airbag, but with Xia Ren's physical fitness, he won't be injured because of it.
The door was not deformed, he opened it very easily, but after getting out of the car, he found that the middle of the front of the car was completely dented, the water tank was smashed, and the liquid inside flowed all over the ground, and there was also black and brown oil, it seemed that the engine bottom shell was also broken, and the car was completely scrapped.
The black shadow that was hit by him was a Labrador Retriever, looking at the neck sleeve it was wearing, it should be a pet of a certain family, but as a pet, it was too thin, I don't know if it had some kind of disease, or it was lost with its owner.
Seeing that it suddenly rushed out of the side of the road, and there were no people around, Xia Ren felt that it was more likely to be lost.
The bones of the black dog's whole body were shattered, and it lay on the ground whimpering and struggling twice, and then it stopped moving.
Xia Ren looked at the scrapped taxi behind him, and then at the dead dog at his feet, his brows furrowed.
As soon as he arrived at this place, he encountered this kind of thing, which was really unlucky, and it was more like some ominous sign, reminding him that there was danger ahead, stop here.
Xia Ren looked around, where he was now, it was an asphalt road, the road was lined with weeds and trees, and there was a metal-framed sign erected on the side of the road in front of him, which was supposed to have some fonts printed on it, but because it had been exposed for a long time, the handwriting had been blurred, and the red paint flowed down the rusty iron plate, like dry bloodstains.
Xia Ren opened the bottom of the metal plate that was hidden by weeds, and could only barely see the outline of the last two words, and guessed that it should be "town".
Crossing the street sign, he looked further along the asphalt road, and could see that on a sunken terrain, there were dense human buildings, these buildings were generally only two or three stories high, and looking at the architectural style, it was also decades ago, the streets crisscrossed in the dense houses, like a labyrinth, outsiders entered, I am afraid it is easy to get lost.
Xia Ren stood uphill and could see that in the middle of the town, there was a white church, which was in disrepair, the walls were aging, and it looked badly yellow.
It was already noon, when the sun was at its brightest, but there seemed to be an invisible haze over the town, and from a distance, it was clear that the area was different from the rest of the surrounding area, as if it was covered with a layer of gray color.
A breeze blew up from below, and Xia Ren sniffed lightly.
"It's corrupt and cold......"
Xia Ren's expression was solemn.
There's pollution ahead, and I'm afraid it's spreading to the entire town.
The last time he sensed the approximate location of the infidels, it was also in the direction of the town.
Xia Ren glanced back at the car and the corpse of the dog, then stepped forward with his feet and walked along the road.
Even if he knew there was danger, he had to go.
He didn't have a choice.
Shortly after Xia Ren left, a tall man in a black suit with some dark skin appeared on the road.
He walked leisurely to the side of the road, bent down, and in the thick grass, picked up a fallen wooden street sign, and inserted it back in front of the rusty metal street sign, covering it up.
On the wooden street sign, a few eye-catching large characters are written in red lacquer pen:
This road is not working!
……
……
When Xia Ren stood by the street sign and looked down, he felt that the distance of the town was not too far, but it actually took nearly thirty minutes to walk.
The closer he got, the stronger the corrupt and cold pollution aura became, and such a degree of pollution made Xia Ren feel a little uneasy.
And he walked on this road for so long, and he didn't touch a single person, judging from the scale of the town's buildings, the population inside should be quite dense, right, where did all the residents of the town go?
The back of the left hand and the tentacles began to itch a little, and the activity of those fungi increased significantly.
This shows that Xia Ren is approaching their source.
At noon, the sun was shining from above, but it still couldn't dispel the haze, the low buildings were in front of him, and Natsuhito stood outside the town, looking at the empty streets inside, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to be confirmed.
The pollution here was so thick that he felt that every breath he took aggravated his discomfort.
If you are like this, ordinary people can't survive here.
The residents of the town may have already encountered an accident, or ......
Either way, one thing is certain, this town is definitely a lair of aliens, and Xia Ren must be careful with every step he takes next.
Although those ordinary members of the black-robed alien faction could not endanger their own safety, they could also cause some trouble, and he didn't know what the hidden strength of this alien faction was, if there were apostles inside, it would be tricky.
The complete body of the apostle was not even sure that Xia Ren at his peak would be able to fight, not to mention that his current strength was far less than half of his peak.
Xia Ren was standing at the entrance of the town, thinking about what to do next, when he suddenly heard a voice.
The door of the nearest house next to him opened.
Then, as if there was a chain reaction, starting from Xia Ren's position, the doors and windows of the entire street quickly opened one after another, and the residents of the town hid in the shadows where the sun could not reach, quietly watching the outsider.
"Oops!"
Xia Ren secretly said in his heart that it was not good.
It turns out that the residents of the town have been there all along, but why haven't I noticed their movements at all?
Being stared at by so many people together, an invisible pressure enveloped Xia Ren, and from the eyes of the residents of the small town, he felt a strong malice, and subconsciously took half a step back.
But just as he stepped back, there was a whistling wind in his ears.
Xia Ren reacted in time, quickly twisted his body, dodged the attack, and kicked the opponent out with a backward kick.
He turned around and was surprised to see that at some point, a group of people were already standing behind him.
No, they're not human anymore.
Xia Ren saw that their bodies had undergone incredible changes under the influence of pollution, and in the sun, their skin was like corpses soaked in water, pale and puffy, and the surface was covered with various raised folds.
Their eyes were cloudy, the line between the whites of their eyes and their pupils was blurred, like a cloud of muddy paint, and the hair on their skulls was not even seen as it was, like a mass of mold growing on spoiled bread, which blew away when the wind blew.
This form, Xia Ren had seen not long ago, and those two dead heretics looked like this!
Judging by their clothing, these people were supposed to be residents of the town, but by this time, they had turned into monsters with only the smell of corruption and hideous faces.
To make matters more troublesome, they are armed with machetes and sticks and are aggressive.
"My perception has been weakened to such an extent!"
Xia Ren knew very well that he had been wary of the things around him just now, but he was still almost attacked, and even if the residents in the house next to him were counted, there were so many people standing behind him, and he didn't even notice it.
Is the fungal effect already so severe?
The armed residents had already begun to gather around, and behind them, the residents of the original houses had also walked out of their homes and walked towards this direction.
Xia Ren looked back and forth, their number was at least hundreds, and farther away, there were more people gathering in this direction.
If you get caught in a fight, you will face a constant stream of enemies.
The exit of the town was blocked, and it was more difficult to break through, Xia Ren immediately made a decision, and took advantage of the fact that the residents who had just come out of the rear had not yet formed an encirclement, he pulled out a crowbar and began to run wildly.
But unexpectedly, this action was like igniting a powder keg, and seeing him running, the townspeople suddenly increased their speed and ran.
"Gan!"
Xia Ren scolded angrily, slammed aside the enemy who was blocking in front of him, and accelerated again.
But there were so many people on the street that they were like ant colonies smelling their prey, and they had begun to gather in this direction, and soon Xia Ren found that the road in front of him had been blocked by the crowd.
But fortunately, before entering the town, he had stood on a high vantage point and looked at the layout of the town, and at the same time probably remembered the streets here.
He turned into the narrow alley next to him, disrupting the local pursuit.
Xia Ren knew very well that if he continued like this, he would not be able to hold on for long, he would still be surrounded by the crowd, and each of them almost had the corpse of a life-taking heretic who was killed by himself, although each individual could not pose any threat to himself, but with so many people together, he would definitely not be able to bear it, especially when it came to fighting, he was still afraid of the fungus on their bodies, and he could not exert all his strength.
While Xia Ren was running and thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly saw that in the sewer at the intersection in front of him, he actually stretched out his arm and beckoned to him.
