Chapter 11: The Scarlet Night
The district of Naple is now a purgatory on earth, and the gray streets are full of creepy chewing sounds. In the moonlight, several strange-looking, seven-point humanoid monsters were tearing at corpses with their heads down, sending blood-mixed internal organs and pieces of flesh into their mouths.
These were later named: Wild Corpse, the third night of X-Gamma coming to Earth, and finally began to show a small number of mutations. The revival of the rampaging ancient genetic chaos has caused the hosts to continue to demand large amounts of energy and food. As the gene chain collapsed, some of these small groups began to grow scales and thick hairs, and some began to shed their skin, revealing the carapace beneath the skin. The phalanges come out through the fingers, forming sharp bony claws. Some people start to develop sarcomas... A thousand strange mutations. These rampaging people have become life harvesters. They rushed out into the streets, and when they saw people, they killed them. Then frantically devouring flesh.
These mutated and strange crazy corpses have gradually escaped from the human realm, just like Zeng Tianqi was transformed by the laboratory at the beginning, but this process has been exacerbated a hundredfold.
Violent cell proliferation and violent cell death constantly collided and tug-of-war in the mad corpses, and with the madness of those mad corpses, the dead and necrotic cells on their bodies evaporated out. It is said that a large number of wild corpses gathered together can transpirate the wonders of blood mist, and from a distance, it looks like a blood-colored wave churning in the air, and people call it a blood tide. When a tide of blood like the shadow of death enveloped the land, death Jedi everywhere it passed. Later generations concluded: The blood tide is steaming, the dead travel, devouring the earth, and few people see it.
When they came here, the smell of blood and a faint red mist filled the air. There was a dead silence all around. In the mist, mixed with red. The mournful screams that appear from time to time are terrifying. Zeng Tianqi vigilantly took Mu Bazhuo and Su Xiaoyu into the town, they didn't know that this step was like stepping into the gate of hell.
Badrol led the two to the door of their house, only to see that the whole house was made of adobe and mud with a huge hole smashed by something, and the wooden door of their house also collapsed on one side, and the other half was hanging next to it.
Bazhuo burst out in tears and shouted, "Daddy, Eminem." Rushed through the half-collapsed gate into his own home. Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu glanced at each other, nodded, and rushed into the house together.
The room was small, the half-collapsed door was broken into three pieces and scattered in the doorway, and a wooden table and several wooden chairs in the room had fallen apart. Zeng Tianqi inspected the house, it was a mess, and there were two bright red paw prints on the wall, which made him more vigilant, and heard the cry of Mu Bazhuo upstairs, Zeng Zhengdong climbed up to the second floor along the half-collapsed stairs, the second floor was just a small triangular room, there was only one wooden bed in the room, and the wooden bed had now been vigorously dismantled, and in the wooden pile, Bazhuo was crying and holding a woman, who was Bazhuo's mother. Bazhuo's mother had been breathing for a long time, her body had been gnawed to pieces from the neck down, and one leg was missing. Although Su Xiaoyu was used to seeing death, she had never seen a human corpse like a hyena pack. Su Xiaoyu not only covered her mouth, but also looked at Ba Zhuo's miserable appearance, tears swirling in her eyes. The moon gradually faded, and in the darkness before dawn, I saw only the Badro dog holding his thin body, holding the stiff body of his mother, who had long been out of temperature and blurred with flesh and blood.
Zeng Tianqi was about to go over to check, and suddenly, the alarm in his heart arose, he dragged one past Su Xiaoyu, rolled to the side, and then pulled out a silver Plata pistol that never left his body from his back, and slammed two shots towards Su Xiaoyu's position, and then as if rehearsed, a red figure fell from the roof with a bang, and was hit at that position, "Woo~~~~" was hit by two shots in a row, one of which hit the eyebrows of the red figure, and the red figure's body stiffened, and then slowly fell.
At this time, Bazhuo seemed to be awakened by the sound of gunshots, and when he reacted and looked at the red crazy corpse, Bazhuo was stunned, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world... He stared at the red monster. Like a twisted human form, the body has become slender as if the waist has been pulled, a small number of bone spurs bulge between the vertebrae on the back, the ribs are stretched, the entire chest has collapsed, and even the front of the ribs has been pierced out of the chest, mixed with blood, the white bulge is on the chest, and an adult's dirty jacket is broken and hung on the body, Ba Zhuo recognizes this broken cotton jacket, this is his father's jacket. Ba Zhuo didn't dare to rush over and shout, so he could only point to the corpse in a choked voice, "Dad... Father.. Pander to.. Pander to.. Daddy".
Two gunshots rang out far in the silent night sky. Suddenly, there was a roar of all sorts in the town. Zeng Tianqi's heart tightened, and he couldn't take care of Ba Zhuo's emotions, picked up his thin little body, and whispered to Su Xiaoyu: "Go!" ”
The two of them rushed downstairs and rushed out of the gate, running out of town, when a clanging sound began to sound around them, the sound of sharp nails hitting the ground. Zeng Tianqi listened attentively, and there were at least 15 or so voices approaching.
Just when a mad corpse caught up, stretched out his claws from top to bottom, and was about to grab and pounce, Zeng Zhengdong didn't look back, and at the same time he flashed sideways, his elbows were retracted, and the gun was almost lowered on the head of the mad corpse! One shot. The mad corpse didn't have time to howl, and rolled out several times by inertia, and stopped moving on the ground.
At this time, Su Xiaoyu on the left also flashed towards Zeng Tianqi, and the firewood knife dropped by Ba Zhuo, who had just picked up at the door of Ba Zhuo's house, swung it out, poof! Cut off a long whip, and when you look at it, a long tongue. Twisted and bounced on the ground a few times and didn't move.
The crazy corpse that lost its tongue rolled down and struggled, and blood splashed everywhere, which provoked the madness of the other crazy corpses, and in front, several wild corpses stopped and surrounded the tongueless crazy corpse, and blood splashed everywhere. This mad corpse was torn apart and eaten by other mad corpses. The strong smell of blood attracted more wild corpses to join this bloody feast.
The wild corpses around them continued to gather from all directions, because of the attraction of the smell of blood, they instinctively rushed to the scene of the food, and those wild corpses injured because of the competition became prey, and became the objects of other wild corpse hunting. For a while, the extremely hellish scene was so tragically unfolded, but the mad corpses chasing Zeng Tianqi were attracted by the crazy corpses that kept falling and injured and gradually decreased.
From the air, the whole street was covered with hideous corpses, they were stimulated to madness by the smell of blood, and the whole street of Naple was like this, and a feast of slaughter was staged. It's like the gate of the Shura field is opened, and the creatures of hell descend.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the three of them quickly evacuated, and when they were running to the Naple Temple, the sun slowly rose. There were still two mad corpses left chasing them, at the moment when the sun shone on the mad corpse, the mad corpse wailed, and the whole body steamed red mist, they gave up the chase and turned their heads to run to the dark place of the valley under the temple, Zeng Tianqi saw the exposed flesh and blood of the mad corpse under the sun, a blood-colored smoke rose, the blood of those mad corpses was like boiling water, began to steam violently, and a few crazy corpses that couldn't run suddenly burst into flames and began to spontaneously combust.
They are afraid of the sun, and their bodies are metabolizing at a high rate to supply the body with energy, accumulating a lot of calories. Nowadays, the ultraviolet rays on the planet are a nightmare for ordinary people, not to mention the crazy corpses who are afraid of the sun, they are exposed to the sun, because there is no human skin as a barrier and cooling. A large amount of ultraviolet and infrared rays caused the blood in the mad corpse to boil rapidly, and then evaporated through a large area of the scarlet body. With a sharp increase in body temperature and transpiration of a large amount of blood. They will soon be a dried corpse. So after the first exposure to the horror of the sun, the remaining mad corpses chose to lie dormant in the shadows when the sun came out.
Zeng Tianqi was covered in blood and carried Mu Bazhuo, who was already unconscious, except for Bazhuo who was hit in the back by the arm of a mad corpse because he couldn't dodge, and he fell unconscious on a wooden pillar.
They walked up to the temple hall, the entire temple was half-collapsed, and the stone steps in front of the temple gate were covered with many charred and blackened humanoid remains. The centuries-old temple of Naple Temple was also burned to the ground, and the half-withered pine at the entrance of the mountain had been baptized by fire, and the twisted corpse crawling under the pine was the source of the fire, igniting the dead pine.
The ascetic monks gathered together and set themselves on fire. Dozens of burned, twisted corpses in the main hall, and the corpses outside the hall were the result of the young monks running out of the pain of burning themselves. In the center of the main hall is a distorted statue of Buddha with a burned golden body, and the black lacquer that flows down the eye sockets still hangs on the withered and peeling face, like blood and tears. Under the statue of Buddha is a sitting charred corpse, which is the first in the Neapolitan temple. There were also several fragments of unburned Sanskrit scriptures in front of the body. The remnant words written in the ancient Sanskrit of the plateau area above: "King Ming... ”
At noon, Bazhuo was covered in bandages and shouted, "Grandma! "Wake up. Perhaps because of the grief of losing a loved one, or perhaps because of the horror of being attacked by a wild corpse, Badrol has been in a coma. Bazhuo, who woke up, was stunned for a moment, and saw the familiar scene of the temple hall around him, and the charred monks. A sluggish expression appeared on his face. The panic and fright left him with no master.
Zeng Tianqi and Su Xiaoyu were urgently discussing how to leave this place in a hurry.
It is clear that during the day these mad corpses are afraid of the scorching heat of the sun and will not appear. Most of their luggage was swept away by the trees. The weapons are only a part of the small arms that they carry with them, which is very unfavorable to the mad corpses, and some of the crazy corpses with particularly tenacious vitality will not stop moving after being shot several times.
The two of them did not bother to comfort Bazhuo, they had come out of death training camp since childhood, and they were used to seeing life and death, and they knew that Bazhuo had to get through this on his own.
"We have to get here before the sun goes down, at least." Zeng Tianqi pointed to a small village they had passed by, "There should only be a dozen families here. The threat is relatively small. Then we went into the town during the day to gather supplies, and at night we had to go around the densely populated areas. ”
Su Xiaoyu added: "We don't have many bullets. With the addition of reloading, we have less than 40 rounds left. "Look at the three Plata placed next to you." They lost contact with Bo Ge, and the satellite phone had no signal. Even the phone won't turn on. ”
"Now, I'm going to venture back into town and find a car, and you guys stay here." Zeng Tianqi made a decision.
"Yes." Su Xiaoyu nodded.
Zeng Tianqi was preparing to set off. Mu Bazhuo groped his way out of nowhere. He had a bunch of keys in his hand, and a car key hanging from it. "Brother Zeng, use it, this is the temple's car." The temple is like half of his home, and he couldn't be more familiar with everything in the temple.
Zeng Tianqi and his party drove a "Dao Er" in the temple, which was the original small truck of the Eastern Kingdom. The length of the vehicle is three meters six, four seats plus the rear cargo box. The chassis is high, which is suitable for mountain travel. Temples are used for purchasing and going out.
Zeng Tianqi drove the car while thinking about where to go. For a while, all kinds of previous experiences came to mind. He recalled what he saw when he entered the "Gate of God", the so-called human laboratory, the various strange-shaped organs and strange tissues soaked in those petri dishes. And then there's that, high up, constantly publishing papers on gene transcription technology by "Volkan", one of the founders of God's Gate of Academic Speech.
Zeng Tianqi, who was contemplating, absentmindedly drove the car on the rugged mountain road of the wasteland. Suddenly a light flashed in his heart, and the appearance of the Bodhi tree was imprinted in his mind.
Su Xiaoyu was following the ups and downs of the car, and while the co-pilot was pretending to sleep, a sudden sudden brake threw her up, and her head almost hit the windshield. Reflexively leaned to the side of his leg and pinched the other "Plata" on his leg. Although Zeng Tianqi was distracted, but in fact, his subconscious was quite alert, just now it was from the side of the road that rushed out crookedly and fell in front of the car, he subconsciously braked and stopped.
After the incident in the early morning, Zeng Tianqi was also a master of the arts, and he didn't care if there was a person in front of him, anyway, there was only one, he opened the car door at the moment, glanced at Su Xiaoyu, and got out of the car to check.
I saw a person covered in blood and wearing a tattered blue gown, the gown reflected the golden blue light, and the dying man looked up at Zeng Tianqi, and said inarticulately: "Help... Help me... Then he passed out.
