Chapter Twenty-Three: Taking Refuge
It's good to take turns watching.
But that's not right......
Zheng Rui reacted immediately: "At that time, when Sister Na was caught by the alien, were you anyone watching?" β
Fang Tong lowered his head and looked away from them.
And Zuo Youcheng was tied up and couldn't move, so he had to say under Zheng Rui's gaze: "I was watching it at the time...... But I'm stupid, and what's the use of facing aliens with my broken ability? - I'm sorry, it's my fault. β
Zheng Rui didn't say anything yet, but Bian Na said first: "It's okay, the main responsibility is not yours." β
Then she reminded Zheng Rui quite fairly: "This matter really has little to do with them, our buildings are quite far apart." If there were only two people in their basement, they couldn't be expected to take the initiative to fight the aliens. β
Zheng Rui didn't feel that Zuo Youcheng and Fang Tong had much responsibility, but she couldn't help but feel a little contempt for them in her heart.
A young man in his twenties, and a sophomore boy who is actually no different from an adult in terms of height and weight, was so frightened that he didn't dare to go up to help in the face of such a weak chicken alien. At the time, it was okay not to help, and now he excuses himself that his ability is useless against the alien - can he use the fart ability against that thing? Just honestly admit that you are indifferent, forget it, don't be XX and stand XX.
"Forget it." Zheng Rui told himself that he could not expect the masses of the people to have a high level of consciousness, but that he still had to grasp the main contradictions.
She asked Zuo Youcheng again, "How many aliens will there be when they patrol?" β
"That's it...... Just one. Zuo Youcheng said with some embarrassment, "There are still a few more of these things, and one is enough." β
"If it's just one patrol, the two of you can handle it completely." Zheng Rui thought it was strange, "Have you never fought against the alien at all?" It's actually very brittle. β
"Crisp? The 'crisp' of the big guy is just different from us mortals. Zuo Youcheng laughed dryly, "We have two basements in Building 1, and the other basement was 'bloodbathed' by an alien the day before yesterday - that is, an alien, and all five people died." β
, five people?
Zheng Rui's first reaction was not sad, but a little inopportune to think that there were still such scumbags......
She soon realized that in addition to the young people, there might be old and young people in the basement. In such a cruel survival game, they are in a difficult situation that young adults cannot imagine.
"Sister Wang?" Benna asked nervously.
"Sister Wang...... Sister Wang didn't seem to be in it, and she later went to Brother Zhao's basement. Zuo Youcheng sighed, "Fortunately, she passed half a day earlier, and Brother Zhao's strength-type person can fight a little." β
"Heh, doesn't Zhao Weiming have a girlfriend? Isn't his girlfriend still there? Benna couldn't help but scoff.
Zuo Youcheng wanted to make a shrug movement, but because he was still tied, he could only pout: "It's all at this time, where is there any social morality." Brother Zhao has supplies, and no one stopped him if he wanted a few girlfriends. β
He had just finished mocking the boss of the opposite community, and then he flattered Zheng Rui and said, "Hey, big guy, do you need a boyfriend?" What do you think of me? I ate very little and fed well......"
"You're sick." Zheng Rui really has no other words to describe this kind of behavior.
"That'...... Then ......" Zuo Youcheng turned to Bian Na again, "Little sister, do you need a boyfriend?" β
Bian Na was so angry that she wanted to laugh: "I have a boyfriend." My boyfriend is Liu Haojia, don't you know? β
Zuo Youcheng was also half-joking, knowing that people didn't think about it at all, so he hurriedly found a step for himself: "Brother Liu's power control type, it's too powerful, I'll forget it......"
Bian Na thought to herself, Liu Haojia, that scumbag, if it weren't for his luck to fall into an electricity-controlled type, now she would have to go over and shave his ears.
The scumbag's luck is better than her, God doesn't have long eyes, it's really angry.
Zheng Rui felt that the focus of the topic could not be on such trivial matters as boyfriends and girlfriends, so she asked again: "What was the specific process of the five people being attacked?" β
This time, Zuo Youcheng didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Fang Tong, who was sitting with his head bowed on another chair. This shows that Fang Tong should have been on guard at that time.
"I didn't see it clearly." Fang Tong said softly, "I knew that the lock in the basement was broken...... I just see...... The alien went in, and then ...... Then I went to see it, and all five of them were already ......"
"The alien didn't come out with a corpse?" Benna asked, "It's not eating people?" β
"Cannibalism?!" Zuo Youcheng exclaimed in disbelief.
Fang Tong's face turned even paler, and his voice trembled: "That...... That should be there...... I didn't dare to look closely, but the bodies of those people ...... It's all blurred......"
Zheng Rui was silent.
Aliens eat human flesh and don't eat it cleanly, but bite the human flesh into a blur and then throw it away, which is simply an insult to humanity - doesn't this mean that they think that human things are extremely easy to obtain, so they don't need to cherish this food?
However, it may also be because the health of those five people is not good, and the alien will also be a "picky eater".
But it's too anti-human to think like that.
"The people who live in the basement next door are all old people and children except for that Sister Wang?" Zheng Rui felt that it was better to confirm.
"There are no old people and children at all." Zuo Youcheng said, "Didn't you find out? But all those who remained after that incident were young people. The main residents of our community are also middle-aged people with children, but none of the remaining people are middle-aged or children. You are all old workers living in this staff compound, right? Are you the only one left? β
Is that so?
Zheng Rui was busy with near-death experiences before, and she hadn't gone anywhere else to see it.
"It is said that the business district is also full of young people." Fang Tong also said quietly.
That's really ...... Interesting.
It is more in line with the definition of survival games - they are all young people, about the same starting line, even if there is a slight difference in physique due to different living conditions, young people are at the peak of physical fitness, and they will adapt faster.
But five young peopleβnot to mention five ordinary young people, even if it's five Lin Daiyu, it's almost the same to deal with such a brittle alien, right? After all, five people can walk it a few times, and it won't be impossible for even one of them to escape.
However, there are other possibilities, the individual differences of the aliens may be much larger than those of the people, and the model of the earth's creatures cannot be applied to it. Maybe the alien is not a species at all, and Zheng Rui happened to meet the weak one. In retrospect, the second time she encountered Benna, the alien felt a little weaker than the first one. And they have different colors and shapes on their chests and abdomen, so they may be different subspecies.
"What does that alien look likeβI mean, what color is it?" Zheng Rui asked.
"That's it...... The head is light purple and the body is yellow and dark blue. Fang Tong replied.
