Chapter 241: Dried Corpse
Master Ma didn't have time to react at all, and the whole person was thrown out by me, he got up outside and rubbed his buttocks, but a large part of those insects turned their heads again.
The other insects lost the strength of the suppression above, and immediately became energetic, and immediately climbed over the threshold more than three inches high, and came towards me. I kicked one out and smashed another with the pickaxe in my hand, and it was like a sponge, and the hook of the pickaxe pierced into the flesh of the mollusk, and the black liquid splashed out. I tried my best to dodge, but it still sprayed my hand.
This thing is slimy and I don't know if it's poisonous or not, Master Ma has been forced out by the insects for a long time, and I won't fall behind, but I can't go out with a big stride, so I simply stepped on the bronze carapace of these insects and rushed out.
None of these bronze shells are sturdy, and my weight will shatter as soon as I press it, but fortunately, the insects are no longer more than half a meter high, and the feet are full of slime in a few steps, and then I stepped behind Master Ma.
This guy didn't know where to go, I came out and pulled him to run in the direction of the fat man's gang, before going down the watchtower, I made an abacus, not only the general direction, even how to go, the detailed route has been sorted out by me one by one.
Master Ma couldn't run fast, I pulled him a few times and almost fell to the ground, none of those insects wanted to give up on us, they chased after us, and when they looked back, it looked like the ground was squirming.
"Don't hide your mother, you'll be eaten and eaten to death by insects, and you won't have a chance to use that thing as a funeral gift." I shook the flare gun in my hand, it was empty, it was a single shot, and I didn't know if the temperature of the flare could melt the bronze. But come to think of it, it's always possible to kill a few bugs
"I didn't ...... No, I'll take this one with me. ”
"You're not self-defense, you're the last fucking bullet."
I don't know if Master Ma understood what I meant, so he gasped and sighed, and almost fell to the ground again. I see that these insects are not slackening, they are still intensifying, and now there is no one in hand who can use it immediately. After looking for it, I finally found that there were only those signal sticks in my hands.
The burning temperature of these things is not high, but at the moment I can't care about the others, as soon as I break the lead of the signal stick, the signal rod burns, I throw the signal rod back one by one, and in a few seconds, half of the hand is out.
To my surprise, those things that could only burn for more than ten seconds turned out to be very effective, and one by one they fell to the ground, and those bronze beetles surrounded them, which was a new thing.
But I also knew that those few wouldn't last long, and there were those that were right after us. I didn't waste the signal stick, I grabbed Master Ma's shoulder with one hand, and ran forward desperately.
Bugs are still bugs, I didn't expect it, this kind of thing also has phototaxis, maybe their means of finding prey is to sense the temperature around them, we went upstairs, but left the body temperature at the door, although that insignificant temperature people can never perceive, but those things are different, one by one finally surrounded the door panel of the watchtower.
The signal rod may be a big prey for them, this guy is more than ten times hotter than me, and the insects that rush up are lured away by their own habits.
In the blink of an eye, I had already dragged Master Ma to the side of the road where the fat man and the others were walking, and the gunfire was still very dense when I first went down the watchtower, but after I ran for a while, I didn't know why it suddenly stopped.
This road is the largest main road in the whole ancient city, the road is very dark, there are huge wooden buildings on both sides, the whole road runs through half of the ancient city, just now the gunshots rang out continuously, but now it is quiet to death.
Obviously, there was no one on the road, and my headlamp swept around several times, and I didn't even see a ghost. Hiss...... It's weird, it won't take us more than ten minutes to get here from the bottom of the stairs, and even if the gang runs with all their might, they won't be able to get out of the way.
"Let me say, that's the Yin Soldiers' excuse, you still don't believe it, they are all dead, and they will be sent to the Ten Palaces by the Yin Soldiers for interrogation one by one." Master Ma has not stopped being rude, and he has not forgotten to engage in superstitious thoughts.
I was anxious, and as soon as he said it, he became even more angry, so he scolded directly: "If you say it again, I will send you to see the king of Hades in advance." You've seen a dead old ghost shoot at a Yin soldier? ”
Master Ma immediately stopped talking, but the wild running that came still made him panting. I couldn't see the watchtower from this angle, so I could only rely on the general direction to walk towards the place where the fat man shot him.
All the way through, I kept an eye on the ground, there were no bullet casings, no fragments of the dried corpses. What the hell is that thing? If you want to talk about zongzi, I have never heard of a corpse that has become a dried corpse and can change jobs as zongzi, but those things can move, which I have seen with my own eyes. I thought about what Master Ma said, the Yin soldiers escorted the souls of the dead, this matter is really a bit ridiculous. But if you want me to say, I really don't have a direction.
The road was very quiet, and I didn't think that I would not find the fat man's stubble, so I only knew that there was no other way to move forward. It feels like it's almost there, but no matter how you look on the ground, you can't find the slightest trace.
After walking for a while, I felt my arm being pulled, I looked back, it was Master Ma, and when I saw his divine appearance, I asked him: "What's the matter with you, and besides, if you don't have it, you can go by yourself, don't see what kind of place this is......"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Master Ma's pale face, and he was looking back behind him, and when I was still thinking about whether I wanted to get rid of this old guy, I also glanced back in his direction.
This glance made the hairs stand on my body, those bugs have long been thrown off by us, and most of the signal rod has been lost, but it is not a bad thing. The thing behind us was naturally not bugs, and I don't know when those black, shriveled corpses followed the two of us again.
Those things were silent, Master Ma had lost control, but he didn't run, but his body was shaking like sifting chaff, and his legs seemed to be weak, and he was about to lie on the ground.
I felt a chill in my heart, not that I was afraid of those things now, I hadn't let my guard down for a moment all this way, but these things seemed to float by, and I didn't even hear a sound. The corpses were a dozen paces away from us, and when I stopped and turned my head to look, they didn't move, they just huddled together and didn't do anything else.
I swallowed, my still trembling arm into my bag again, and after looking around, I was in the same state again, and there was really nothing in the bag except for the useless signal sticks.
I looked at the mountaineering pickaxe in my hand, this thing is used as a weapon, and the lethality is still very large, but I am alone, and it is estimated that it is not enough for the dried corpses on the other side to eat a full meal.
I now regret more and more that I wasted the bullet in the cave of the city gate, and finally threw the gun away, and if there were any of them, although there were many of them, it would not be impossible to solve the crisis.
"Hey, can you run, if you can't run, I can't save you." I lowered my voice and said to Master Ma. Master Ma turned his head to look at me and nodded with difficulty.
"You...... Don't leave me alone, I'm ...... too."
"Don't talk about it."
I scolded Master Ma and told him not to speak, carrying his backpack and tinkering with a flare stick in his bag, this thing burns like fireworks, I have to find a way to make it explode, as long as it can explode, it can have some lethality.
I tried to pinch the signal stick with my fingernails, this thing is a bargain, and the outer layer of kraft paper is not waterproof. But this made it very convenient for me, I tore open the signal stick, which was silver-gray powder, and dismantled three in a row, and then put it all together with the outer packaging of the food in the bag, and then tied the plastic bag full of burning powder to the flame vent of the other signal stick.
This thing now looks like a grenade, and I whispered to Master Ma and shouted, "Get ready." Then he unscrewed the lead of the signal rod. Before the flames could erupt, he threw the flare at the group of neatly standing corpses.
I used too many materials, and the outer packaging of the food was burned in an instant. If it can last for a second, the temperature is enough to make it explode. Because the plastic film surrounding the burning powder broke, the whole piece of powder was ignited, and the flare stick that was thrown out became a ball of fire.
The signal rod did not explode, but all the powder that supported the combustion fell on the first few dry corpses, which were already completely dehydrated, which was self-defeating, and a large piece burned directly, and the flames rose directly for several meters because of the dry skin and grease on the dried corpses.
These dried corpses did not move in the flames, Master Ma yelled and ran, I was ready to slip away first, but when I looked back a few times, I found that these things did not move, not even struggling, those things were by no means living things, the flames were surging, and the smell was everywhere for a while, and I was still some distance from the fire, but the high temperature made my hair smell burnt.
"Grandpa, hurry up, wait a minute, it's time for these things to us." Master Ma pleaded with me, and he tried to get me to let go of the hand that was holding his arm.
"Don't go, don't go, there's something wrong with these things, they don't seem to be alive."
"Oops...... It's not alive and can still follow us, let's hurry up, don't let these things be calculated again. ”
I still didn't move, while I had already let go of Master Ma, Master Ma ran out four or five steps and stopped quickly, I didn't care about him, and walked directly to the burning dry corpse.
