Chapter 6: Night Falls
In the middle of the night, in a dilapidated house completely blocked by a pile of stones, three figures huddled in one of the corners.
Among them, there happened to be Chenyang and Gu Xia, and the last one was a girl they met on the road, named Lin Wan.
Because of luck, she didn't encounter an alien ape in the place where she appeared, nor was she chased by someone from another plane.
When Chenyang and the others met her, she was still looking for food, and she was completely unclear about what happened to Chenyang, just like living in another world.
Chenyang and the two saw that she had no killing intent, so they simply walked with her, and they could take care of each other, even if they met an alien ape and escaped separately, they could have one more chance to escape.
The three of them hurried all the way, and they were still half the way to the location of the Ice Mirror, but fortunately, the Ice Mirror had not been taken away by anyone else.
Otherwise, for them, the next ten days will be much more difficult.
It stands to reason that in this situation, they should have hurried overnight, but Gu Xia was already preparing to rest before the sky was completely dark, looking for a shelter without alien apes.
Even Chenyang was a little incomprehensible, but out of trust in Gu Xia, he didn't ask anything, after all, he knew Gu Xia.
Most of what Gu Xia did had a reason.
While it was still dark, Gu Xia and the three of them had already finished their dinner and were directly preparing to lie down and rest.
The three of them discussed and decided to take turns keeping vigil, so as not to attack when the alien ape attacked, several people were still in their dreams, and they didn't even know how to die.
Dozens of minutes passed, and only Chenyang was still awake.
As the only man among the three, he was directly assigned by Gu Xia to be responsible for the safety of the first half of the night, which was a big challenge for him who had not rested much along the way.
Seeing that the two people next to him were asleep, Chenyang looked at the window blocked by rubble, and seemed to look at the city outside the window.
In his ears, the voice of the system kept ringing:
"One plane died, number of survivors: 80"
"One Plane Dead, Number Alive: 79"
……
"One Plane Dead, Number of Survivors: 72"
Listening to the decreasing numbers in his ears, Chenyang seemed to be able to imagine what kind of tragic situation was happening in the city outside now.
In the world shrouded in darkness, the nocturnal creature of the alien ape has become the most terrifying hunter of the night.
All the relaxation and sluggishness before were all recuperation, just for this moment to polish their claws, and enjoy the carnival at this time.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound nearby, which seemed to be the sound of the soles of the feet slamming on the ground.
Chenyang was in a trance, thinking about the tragic situation that happened outside, when he heard this sudden sound, his face froze, he became vigilant, and deliberately lowered his breath.
The sound insulation effect of the building here is not very good, and if you accidentally make a sound, it may attract the attention of the heterochae.
And if the voice just appeared, if it wasn't for some stupid human trying to seek excitement, then it would only be an alien ape.
If it is really an alien ape, then Chenyang should be more cautious.
In the dark, all of the apes' senses are noticeably improved, especially their hearing, which is enough to detect any small sound, even the slightest bit of a violent heartbeat.
Chenyang listened carefully to the footsteps, the location was a vacant office building next door, which Chenyang had checked before, and did not find the heterocara.
It could only be that this heterocarapace happened to pass by here on its way to hunting, and now the morning sun can only pray that this heterocarapace will not find them.
Time passed little by little, and the morning sun did not dare to come out, for fear of attracting a little attention.
Listening to the sound of footsteps that gradually became clear in his ears, the heterocarab ape had already walked out of the office building and gradually approached their building.
They have not yet been found.
Just as Chenyang hesitated to wake up the two of them and was about to flee separately, the heterocarab had already walked into the building.
As soon as he walked into the building, the heterogeneous ape seemed to notice something unusual, and suddenly let out a loud roar.
Immediately afterward, before Chenyang could make a move, he heard the words of others scolding in his ears.
The voice seemed to come from the small building next door: "MD, the heterocarab has found us, run separately!"
It seems that a person is too nervous, and when he hears the movement of the heterocarat, he thinks that he has been discovered, but he blocks them for Chenyang.
"Didn't you say there wouldn't be an ape here, Boss?" The other whispered, with a hint of fear.
Although they deliberately lowered their voices, they were still heard clearly in the face of the heterodox ape with a keen sense of hearing.
The heterogeneous ape suddenly roared, and his thick limbs stepped on the ground, and the tile was directly split under the huge force, and there was still a foot print in the center of the tile.
If someone were standing next to it, they would notice that the size of the heterogeneous ape had changed slightly the moment it stepped on it.
The thick leather armor of the whole body shrinks, becoming smaller and more flexible, if the leather armor is suitable for frontal combat, then this body shape is more suitable for night lurking and pursuit.
A few people next door hurriedly dispersed and ran towards the outside of the building, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to escape separately and find a glimmer of life from the pursuit of the alien ape.
Listening to the sound of chaotic footsteps, Chenyang couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity in his heart, and he exerted a slight force under his feet, took as light steps as possible, and moved to the wall.
The ears were pressed against the walls, trying to hear something from inside.
"Da Da Da!"
A series of footsteps rang out continuously, spreading in all directions, and at the same time there was another footstep sound, compared to the previous one, the latter was like a drum, deafening.
Before the morning sun could get close to the wall for a few seconds, the footsteps in his ears suddenly became chaotic, as if something had happened in these few seconds.
Immediately afterward, Chenyang heard the roar of the heterocarapace and the panicked screams of humans.
With the sound of screams, the man seemed to be torn apart by the heterogeneous ape directly with his claws, and the sound sounded as easy as a piece of cloth leather being directly torn apart by brute force.
This voice was very subtle, and if Chenyang didn't listen to it against the wall, it would be impossible to hear it clearly, but when he heard this voice, he couldn't help but shudder, and instinctively felt a trace of fear in his heart.
After this sound, there were no more human screams, and the heavy footsteps of the heterocarb ape gradually disappeared, as if they had left the place.
There was no movement nearby for a while, and it felt a little oozing quiet, but Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Glad that the three of them were not discovered, he thought a little dark in his heart: Fortunately, the group of people next door was exposed first, otherwise I am afraid that they would have died this time.
At the same time, Chenyang recalled what Gu Xia had said before going to bed, and she asked Chenyang not to act rashly even in the presence of an alien ape.
At that time, Chenyang still felt a little inexplicable, but now it seems that we, the college tyrant, may have expected this scene and had the previous words.
Chenyang looked at Gu Xia who was sleeping: "Well, there is the potential to be a god stick."
On the other side of the city, in an empty gymnasium, there was a violent crash caused by fists and bodies colliding.
"Roar!"
An alien ape roared, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes that was human, as if he had been humiliated by something.
On the opposite side of the heterodox, there stood a burly man with a height of more than one meter and ninety, his face was like a knife and an axe, the water chestnut horns were distinct, and his eyes were fiercer than the heterocarab ape in front of him.
On his hands, he wears a pair of bright red fist gloves with a black pattern of a pair of sword halberds crossed on the back.
The man threw a punch, and a layer of pure white qi was born on the fist glove, and the action of swinging the fist exploded with unparalleled power at the moment when the white qi appeared.
A punch slammed into the ape's chest, where the leather armor was the hardest and thickest, but it also cracked under his repeated hammer blows, and it seemed to be about to shatter.
Before the heterocarab ape in front of him could react, he was knocked to the ground by a punch again, and let out a cry of pain from his mouth. The leather armor on his chest had cracked, revealing the snow-white bones and tender flesh inside.
The heterocarab climbed up again, and it looked into the man's gaze, and for the first time there was fear, as if it had seen a terrible ghost asking for its life.
The man walked over slowly, and each step was very powerful on the ground, making a dull stamping sound.
Looking at the man who was getting closer, the idea of escaping inexplicably came to the ape's mind, and as soon as the thought appeared, it instantly filled its entire mind.
The body turned towards the back gate, and rushed to the front gate regardless of it.
The man let out a muffled snort, as if he was very dissatisfied with the actions of the heterodox, and his legs exerted force, like a feathered arrow, and rushed straight towards the fleeing heterodox.
A few seconds later, a thin man opened the door: "Boss, there are three alien apes that have been attracted passively."
"Well, let's get out of here and find the next Origin item." The man's deep voice came from the gymnasium, with a unique and powerful momentum.
The thin man's gaze looked at the dark gymnasium, and found that not far from the gate, his boss was standing there, and at his feet there was the corpse of an alien ape, blood flowing down the wound and bleeding all over the ground.
