Chapter 258: The tide of fish is surging to the city, and the men and women of the mystery come to the rescue
Fish is a very common creature.
But this 'common' should never be found on land!
Accompanied by the surging green mist, Hong Junfei could see millions of fish, desperately swinging his feet and running on the not spacious streets! They are large and small, and their speed is also different, and there are often those who do not advance in time, and are trampled into a puddle of rotten meat and mud by their later kind, which then allows more unidentified gases to rise into the sky.
The polluted sky, as the yellow-green clouds converged, and the original vague grimace became clearer and clearer.
This scene is very shocking! It was so shocking that Hong Junfei recalled some memories that should have been buried in the depths of his mind.
"Fish! It turns out that this is the world of 'fish' created by Junji Ito......"
Black and white pictures flashed in front of him, and Hong Junfei, who remembered something, only felt cold sweat behind him.
Before he was reborn, he had read a lot of online novels, and he had discussed with others in a forum which kind of world in the infinite stream was the last thing reincarnation people wanted to experience. In that post, most book lovers felt that it was a spiritual alien world! And in the great division of supernatural classes, which classification is the most feared by reincarnations, everyone agrees that it must be a 'unsolvable' supernatural world. Compared to worlds such as 'zombies', 'ghosts', 'ghosts' and 'vampires', the kind of stories that have no reason and no results are the most terrifying! After all, the former can still protect themselves and solve problems through various means, while the latter can often only wait for death.
And 'Junji Ito', a Japanese manga master, is precisely one of the biggest creators of the 'unsolvable' horror world!
The world he writes about is often reality. An ordinary thing, an ordinary thing, an ordinary idea can be turned into the most profound horror in the hearts of the people! With no clear cause or outcome, this narrative can quickly bring the reader into a strange atmosphere, and then, the abrupt ending will cause them to fall into an inexplicable panic and tremble from the heart! Compared to other authors, many of Ito's works do not have many of the so-called 'life paths' in the supernatural world. If you really want to say it, its core is the author's 'malice' from the heart! From the very beginning, he never thought of giving readers even the slightest 'hope'.
The comic "Fish" tells the story of the destruction of such a world......
One day, sea creatures aboard an unidentified walking machine landed on a large area around the world, and they emitted a foul stench of carrion corpses that would attack any life. All humans who are harmed by them are infected with an unidentified bacterium. Affected by this, in the end, without exception, they will all become the same doctor that Hong Junfei encountered before, a monster with a bloated body and constantly spewing foul-smelling gas! Their fate is undoubtedly tragic, either being killed by other survivors, or replacing the walking fish, sitting on walking machines, turning into all kinds of monsters, and then attacking uninfected life, providing a more expansive and convenient breeding environment for the dirty green gas.
The current Hong Junfei is in such a world that has collapsed to the point that it can be compared with the biochemical apocalypse!
However, compared to some other things, this situation is not too bad.
Human Head Balloon, Demon Sound Village, Hell Star, Vortex, Black Conspiracy, Tomie, Unswerving Love, City Without Streets......
recalled the stories that can only be described as 'incomprehensible', and Hong Junfei, who understood the current situation, didn't know whether to congratulate himself on his luck or lament that he was unlucky!
Until this moment, all he encountered was "Group Ward", "Triglycerides", "Ghost Alley", "Strange Tales", and "Fish", which were not very dangerous.
According to Shi Songhong, he is only in the third layer of the Eightfold World, and he is still in the 'erosion' stage!
The real horror is still to come......
However, if you want to dig deeper, the world of "Fish" is not necessarily so simple, it is not just a mutated version of "Resident Evil". Some of the strange performances in the original comics show that there are still some dark sides and secrets in this world that have not been revealed. Behind the filthy green gas, there seems to be an unspeakable 'evil force' that is manipulating everything and leading the world to ruin.
"It seems to be easy to solve, but how to deal with this situation?"
Looking at the tide of 'fish' that was getting closer and closer to him, Hong Junfei began to think about countermeasures.
Running away in the opposite direction?
This is undoubtedly unrealistic.
These fish have spider-like walking machines under them, and they are incredibly fast, even if Hong Junfei uses the strange fluorescent power to strengthen his physical fitness, he may not be able to outrun them.
And hide in a nearby dwelling, close the doors and windows, and close all entrances and exits?
There is no possibility of this being implemented.
Judging from the original comics, these 'fish' are not like the zombies in "Resident Evil", they have no self-awareness and are only dominated by instinct. It's as if they're being controlled by something, and they're going to attack every uninfected living being everywhere! Even if you're hiding in a house, they'll try to sneak in and attack. Even if it is a skyscraper hundreds of meters high, there will be 'fish' that rot and bulge like hot air balloons, and there will be no escape......
From here, it can be seen that the current Hong Junfei is on the verge of despair.
"It seems that I can only fight for it......"
Facing the 'fish' who are getting closer and closer, like the tide of the sea, wave after wave, Hong Junfei, who has made up his mind, suddenly feels extremely calm in his heart, as if the previous panic was fake!
(Again, is that feeling again?) )
Hong Junfei, who has awakened from the ghost alley, has long found that he is very different from the past, but in terms of the current situation, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
You must know that Hong Junfei in the past had no way to deal with this terrible 'fish' tide to the limit!
Immediately, in line with the feeling in his heart, Hong Junfei raised his right palm.
At some point, the scab of the wound above had fallen off, revealing a new white skin that was different from the other place.
"Divine power is like a mountain, divine grace is like a sea ......"
Smack!
Sometimes, things turn out unexpectedly.
Before Hong Junfei could follow Shi Songhong's instructions, recite the incantation that induces the power of 'Doom Turning to Tribulation of the Heavens', and then use divine magic to destroy the enemy, suddenly, a rope stretched out from his side, and the end fell straight to the ground.
Looking up along the rope, he saw only the fifth-floor window being pushed open.
"Quick! Pull the rope! We'll bring you up! ”
In the gaping window, a man with glasses stuck out his head and shouted at Hong Junfei, "Don't worry, we have a way to fool these disgusting monsters!" As long as you enter our house, they won't find out about your existence! ”
"That's right! Come on! When they get closer, it won't work! ”
Next to the man with glasses, a short-haired woman leaned out and shouted in the same loud voice.
She also seemed anxious: "We'll wait for you for ten seconds at most, and after ten seconds, we'll retract the rope!" Grab it! Ten, nine, eight, seven......"
Before she could finish counting, Hong Junfei had already grabbed the long rope.
However, unlike the laborious pulling of Hong Junfei up as imagined by these people, before they could exert themselves, they saw Hong Junfei jump with both feet, and after stepping continuously on the protrusion of the building, one turned over and entered the room.
"Oh! Are you Superman? ”
Seeing Hong Junfei, who didn't even breathe and seemed to be calm and relaxed, the three men and two women in the room, a total of five people, were dumbfounded.
"I'm not Superman...... But I'd love to know, who are you? ”
Hong Junfei went straight to the point: "You said that there is a way to fool those monsters, what is the way, can you tell me?" ”
"Oops! Retract the rope before those guys get closer. ”
After being reminded by Hong Junfei, these people seemed to remember something, and hurriedly pulled back the rope that stretched out of the window, and closed the wide open window.
In the end, the eyed man took out a few test tubes filled with red liquid and began to distribute them, and even Hong Junfei got one: "Come, quickly apply this to all positions on the doors and windows!" As long as the doors and windows are smeared with these things, those monsters will not find out about our existence. ”
"What is this?"
Opening the test tube in his hand, Hong Junfei smelled a smell of rust.
This, it seems, is the blood of some kind of creature?
"I'll tell you later, do it quickly, if you don't do it, it'll be too late......"
As if he was really anxious, as he spoke, the eyed man and the other four began to seriously apply the red liquid to the cracks between the doors and windows.
Seeing him like this, Hong Junfei also did the same.
At the speed of six people, it was all done in a short time.
"We're safe."
It wasn't until they had carefully inspected every door and window in the room and made sure that all the crevices had been smeared with blood-colored liquid that the eyed man and the others finally relaxed and sat down on the ground.
And at this moment, Hong Junfei also heard the clearest sound.
There is no doubt that it is the sound of the foot of the walker hitting the ground!
He looked out the window through the glass, where schools of fish rushed by like a tidal wave.
They didn't seem to notice anyone in the room at all, and headed for the city center in the distance......
This is undoubtedly unreasonable, the performance of these 'fish' is completely different from the original comics!
Seeing this scene, Hong Junfei finally couldn't help but ask the young people who were still gasping.
"I guess you should tell me something now, right?"
