Chapter 70: Cheng Haidong
The meaning of evolution, I finally understand.
Whether it's the initial mucus that gives you a non-lethal constitution, or a keen intuition, it's all related to this. It's just that I'm still a little confused, is it the insect venom mucus, or the fourteen king worms, or the golden heart that gives me this ability?
In my hallucinations, I did see striped worms in the slime.
But that also belongs to the Fourteen King Worms.
And the last golden heart, the huge dried corpse of the insect king, is it related to it?
Or is evolution the nature of every worm?
Of course, this is not the most important issue now, and I will have more time to think and experiment in the future. For now, I have to get out of this tall grass as soon as possible. I'm a big distance from the team, and if there's a fork in the road, maybe I'll lose it.
However, trouble came.
I had traveled a long distance to find the corpses, and after a brief coma, I couldn't tell the direction at the moment. The sky was so dark that it was impossible to tell by daylight. Even if you jump, because the country road was too narrow before, now in the tall grass, all you can see is an endless number of crops.
"It's a bit unlucky."
But fortunately, I still remember the direction of the wind before, and it was a good ride. Although it is impossible to find the route you entered before at this moment, you can continue to follow the wind, and there should not be much deviation.
Just a distance was traveled, and a noisy sound was faintly heard in the distance.
It's just ahead, it's still far away from me, but it's getting closer. It sounded like the roar of a wild beast, mixed with the cries of humans, and the sound of gunfire!
"Those believers?"
I guessed, and at the same time rushed in the direction of the sound.
Getting closer, clearer!
I was very concerned about the sound of the beast's roar, for upon closer inspection it was not from the real beast. Audibly, it was just a mad human roar, but it was extremely distorted.
As the sound approached, the sound of footsteps came from the grass in front of me, which was extremely chaotic, like a chase between people!
Then, a figure suddenly popped out! Right in front of me!
It was a blood-stained Southeast Asian man, and when he saw me, he screamed in fright! But he came to his senses and staggered past me, burrowing into the grass behind me. Immediately afterward, several more people ran by, from my side or from a distance, they were all extremely flustered and embarrassed, and the expressions of fear can only be found in the face of death!
What exactly is chasing them?
Those believers? Holding firearms for the purpose of slaughtering and killing?
I was wondering, when suddenly a woman's miserable cry came from the grass, I don't know the prophecy of the country, but the way I heard this scream was a cry for help anyway!
I hurried in the direction of the sound, and the moment I cleared the grass, I saw an amazing scene.
A Southeast Asian man, covered in blood, with a hideous and terrifying face! Everywhere the skin is visible, there are black blocky markings! At this moment, a woman is being knocked down, biting the woman's neck and shoulders! Like a zombie in a post-apocalyptic movie!
I didn't have time to think about it, so I rushed out of the grass and raised my knee to hit the man in the face!
Bang!
His body was knocked over by me!
This blow has a huge impact, and ordinary people will inevitably be stunned by it. But the man in front of me struggled to get up, his face and expression became even more hideous, and he opened his bloody mouth, like a mad beast rushing towards me!
He moved so fast that I didn't have time to dodge, so I had to fall down and lift my legs to support his waist and abdomen! Then the inertia, break it off again! This time, the man's head hit the stone, and when he rolled over, his forehead was already sunken, and blood gushed out from between the cracks in the flesh and bones, and it was a fatal wound!
Can......
But even so, he still swayed and supported his body, convulsed and twisted, grinned at me, and then pounced on me more manically than before!
"What the hell is this, is it really a zombie?" I was surprised, I didn't have time to react too much, and this time I was directly knocked down!
I grabbed him by the neck with both hands and propped his head open, but he pressed down like a hungry beast, and I was his only food.
He has a lot of strength, much bigger than the average person, and it was extremely difficult for me to support him.
However, misfortune does not come alone.
When the man was about to pounce on me, three madmen, two men and one woman, jumped out of the grass above my head! All covered in black spots, covered with scars, blurred flesh and blood, zombies are attacking me! I can still support one person, but there are four of them, and I can't resist anymore. I can only let them bite me on the shoulder and arm!
It hurts, but I know it's not enough for me to die.
I tried to calm myself down, seized the opportunity, picked up a rock from the ground, and slammed it at the man who was facing me and had been smashed on the forehead earlier!
The bones of the wound were completely smashed by me!
Plasma flows!
His movements began to slow, but he continued to move. I continued to smash his wounds, the stone almost completely into his head, and his slow movements were finally no longer possible.
Successfully take out one.
But there are three more.
I endured the severe pain, seized the opportunity, and wrapped my arms around the neck of one of the women with difficulty, ready to twist her neck, but suddenly found that her struggling movements became inexplicably sluggish.
Not only her, but the other two were like machines about to run out of power, moving more and more slowly, until they were completely unable to move.
Why is that?
I'm a little confused, but that's the way it is.
Suddenly, they went from extreme madness to expressionless, sluggish like puppets.
Confused, I got up in pain, pushed the three of them away, and swayed my steps back for a while. But they didn't chase after them, and they still maintained their previous appearance, stunned in place, motionless.
"What's going on......"
"I say, ...... these people?" I was about to ask the Southeast Asian woman who had been bitten earlier, only to find that the woman had already fled.
Helplessly, I could only get close to the three of them again.
"What evil did you fall into?" Just wondering, I suddenly noticed that the dark spots on the bodies of these three people were a little strange. The dark spots themselves are like some kind of skin lesions, but where the dark spots appear, there are a pair of pits.
I think I've seen that hole somewhere.
Is that......
"Bite marks?"
That's right! It's the bite marks of that strange bug!
It's exactly the same as the marks I left when my thumb was bitten before.
On top of that, I saw the clear mucus in my body in the mouths of the people who had bitten me.
This made me guess that these people were attacked by that kind of strange worm, and their consciousness was corrupted in the hallucination, and after being unconscious, they became zombie-like monsters. And because of the evolution of insect venom, I can not only resist hallucinations, but the insect venom in my body can also devour the ability of the strange insect, or toxin. These people attacked me, bit me, and infected me with the poison in my body, but they also eliminated the poison left behind by the bite of the strange insects!
They are detached in madness, but their consciousness has been corrupted by the environment, and they have become empty shells like puppets in front of them.
"It seems that in the nearby villages, not only are the crops eaten by insects, but also the people are not spared."
Bang bang!!
At this moment, the sound of gunfire suddenly came from the grass!
The flying bullet hit the heads of the two men, and the sluggish two fell in response. Immediately after that, the muzzle of the gun sticks out of the tall grass, and another bullet is fired, and the woman in front of me is also shot in the head. I immediately raised my hands in the air, and although I didn't know if the other party could understand my prophecy, I still shouted: "Living, I'm a normal person, don't shoot!" ”
The man with the gun came out of the bushes.
But that face shocked me, and my hands gradually lowered, it turned out that before, I really wasn't mistaken.
It's Cheng Haidong.
He was the one who was in the ranks of the previous believers.
“…… Why you? I asked.
But to my surprise, Cheng Haidong's face was cold, there was no pity in his eyes, and he walked towards me step by step, his muzzle never put down until it hit my forehead, "You'd better put your hands up, Brother Zuo." ”
"What's wrong with you?" I slowly raised my hands, "I don't understand. ”
"What do you not understand? But it looks like you're dying, you've been bitten by those things, and you'll soon be just like them. I hate you, but you've helped me after all, and I'll give you a good time. After saying this, he was ready to pull the trigger!
I immediately stopped, "Wait! Cheng Haidong, are you crazy? Don't shoot, I'm not like them! ”
"Those who have been bitten say that they are different."
"In that case, you will hold a gun at me, and you will have time to shoot again after I have changed, right? Your hands are not sick. ”
"No need to change." He suddenly put away his gun, "About a minute and a half, or three minutes later, you'll fall into a coma first, and the coma will last for a while, and when you wake up again, it will change." ”
"So what's the hurry?"
"If you have anything to explain, I'll do you a favor at the end."
This guy actually started waiting for me to leave a last word. As soon as I had a fight with four madmen, I wasted a lot of strength, so I simply sat on the ground and looked at Cheng Haidong in front of me suspiciously: "What's the matter with your clothes?" What happened after leaving Moshan? Why haven't you returned home yet? ”
Cheng Haidong looked at me: "Aren't you dressed the same as me?" ”
"I've got something."
"Me too."
"Say."
"I'm saving my life."
Cheng Haidong is very strange, at first glance, he seems to be different, with cold eyes and a cold attitude. Looking at the blood on his body, looking at the automatic rifle in his hand, I wondered what exactly happened to him? But no matter what it is, it is inseparable from me. Maybe it was a mistake to ask him to help me enter Moshan that time.
"What happened, why did you say you wanted to save your life?" I asked.
"Why don't you ask, what did I mean when I just said I hated you a little?"
"Rightfully so, I pulled you into the pit."
"Actually, I don't blame you before that, I decided to go in myself."
What does Cheng Haidong mean by this? He just mentioned that everything he is doing at the moment is to save his life. So, is the reason why he hates me, is it something that threatens his life, because of me?
"Anything else? What the hell is going on. ”
He suddenly pointed the gun at my head again and asked, "Brother Zuo, brother, I'm angry enough with you, right?" I know better than you how evil Moshan is, if you want to go in, I have to follow it. Between the two of us, if you say a word, my life is yours...... What are you going to ask me to do, you can just say it. But why did you kill them? Why don't the children let go? ”
"Who did I kill?" I was completely confused, what was Cheng Haidong talking about.
"My cousin's family was killed by you...... You don't dare to admit it now? Speaking of this, Cheng Haidong's expression suddenly became in a trance, I saw fear, it was a fleeting extreme fear, I knew that at that moment, he must have recalled the most terrifying picture he had ever seen in his life! Then, with a twisted face, he said to me, "No, I said it wrong, not to kill ...... It's to eat, you eat them! ”
