Chapter 4: A Terrible Thought
As soon as the sky dawned, the city became a mess without one to take care of,
Chen Xiao held a fruit knife in his hand and walked slowly.
Cautiously along the way, Chen Xiao walked to the company's office building, and saw through the glass that there were scattered corpses and a pool of dried brown blood in the hall.
That's where the king died.
Chen Xiao didn't stay too long, went straight to the snack vending machine, looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no "weird" or other danger, he kicked it over, and when he saw that he couldn't kick it away, he groped on the ground and found a brick and violently smashed the vending machine.
Chen Xiao took out the food that was still in the expiration date and devoured it.
Chen Xiao didn't eat too much, he was afraid that there would be too much food in his stomach, and in case of an emergency, strenuous exercise would make him very uncomfortable.
In the dim sky, the first rays of the morning sun were ushered in, and the gloom of the city was banished little by little.
After resting for a while to recover his strength, Chen Xiao found the electric motorcycle that had been lost downstairs, ran to the nearest community farmers' market, and found a boning knife about one and a half feet long and carried it in his hand.
If you encounter a shape mantis again, the knife brought from home will not help at all.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Chen Xiao saw movement coming from the northwest direction of the city.
After a little consideration, Chen Xiao rode along the northwest.
After walking for about three or four miles, the bloody gas in the air became heavier and heavier.
Cars staggered down the street, with horrific claw marks and blood stains.
In a corner at the end of the road, there was a person lying flat on the ground, Chen Xiao's eyes were sharp, and he happened to see his exposed feet.
He hurried over, but the sight made him frown.
It's really just a pair of feet, and the upper half of the body is missing. A long pool of blood dragged down into the alley ahead.
The blood was still fresh, and it wasn't long after the owner of the feet died.
"This place is not to stay long." Chen Xiao walked in the other direction with a boning knife: "This place is more dangerous than imagined. ”
Just as Chen Xiao turned around to leave, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
"Someone." Chen Xiao hurriedly turned around and found a green shadow.
This......
Is it weird?
Chen Xiao's heart became a little frightened.
He could feel his hands trembling.
It's getting closer.
Chen Xiao tried to control his emotions and forced himself to run quickly and leave this ghost place.
There is a community in front, and there is still some stumbling movement in it, is it still weird?
Standing at the door of the community, Chen Xiao heard the footsteps behind him gradually become clear, Chen Xiao gritted his teeth and rushed in without hesitation: "Damn, death will die." ”
Without allowing for careful thought, Chen Xiao mustered up all his courage and rushed over with a boning knife in his hand.
The movement is from the front.
On a bench in the community, a pale-faced young man grabbed a woman's wrist and clinged to the woman with bad intentions.
When the woman saw Chen Xiao, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and struggled even more: "Quick, help me." ”
Seeing Chen Xiao coming over, the young man's interest as soon as he rose faded mostly, and he said with an unkind face: "Don't be nosy." ”
Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was good to be human. He put down the knife and pointed out, "Hey, let her go quickly, or don't blame me for being rude." ”
The young man sneered: "What's the rude method? ”
Looks like we won't be able to have fun today.
The frightened woman hurriedly pulled away, got up from the bench and ran out.
The young man stared at Chen Xiao, not caring about the woman who had escaped. He walked up to Chen Xiao indifferently.
Forced by the other party's momentum, Chen Xiao took two steps back.
"Cut." The young man stepped forward, threw it away, and something catapulted over.
Chen Xiao subconsciously blocked it with the knife in his hand, but he never thought that his knife would be directly broken into two. He looked back, and there was a black steel ball embedded in the concrete wall behind him, and his knife was actually broken into two knots by the inconspicuous steel ball, Chen Xiao couldn't believe it.
The young man picked up the fragment of the boning knife that fell on the ground, put it in his hand and played with it, staring at Chen Xiao with a smile, making Chen Xiao creepy.
The woman not far away looked back and saw this scene and ran faster.
Seeing that she had run far enough, she slowed down, looked back at Chen Xiao and the others, and walked backwards.
Suddenly, as if she had hit something in her back, she turned her head to see a praying mantis grinning at her, and this strange roar in her horrified gaze.
Two black shadows flashed, and she only felt a chill on her neck, and the whole world began to spin.
When the world stopped spinning, she found that she had become much shorter, and she could see the whole picture of her body without a head.
Blood shot into the sky at the neck, and instantly rushed out 2 meters high, like a fountain, bloody and bloody. After a while, the pressure dropped, and the blood column slowly fell again.
The woman's eyes widened, and only one thought flashed through her mind: "I...... I was beheaded! ”
The humanoid praying mantis made a crumbling sound, the two tentacles on the top of its head trembled, and there was actually a hint of anthropomorphic smile on its face.
It was about to feast when a black line flew through its massive head and nailed it to the wall with a green liquid.
It was a fragment of a half-boning knife.
After a brief stiffening, it fell to the ground with a clatter, lifeless.
"It's a pity. It could have given her a wonderful memory and a happy dream. The young man shook his head.
He didn't pay any more attention to Chen Xiao and walked straight to the outside of the community.
The second one, this is the second person to die in front of Chen Xiao, he yelled at the young man: "Hey, you know what kind of place this is, right? ”
The youth did not mean to answer.
"Isn't it too empty here?"
The young man's footsteps paused and turned around and said, "How do you know that Taixu is too empty?" ”
Chen Xiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Is it in the end?" ”
The young man said, "I don't see that you still know a lot. ”
Chen Xiao looked directly into the young man's gaze and said, "You haven't answered my question yet. ”
The young man said, "That's right, you're right. ”
Chen Xiao pointed to the humanoid praying mantis and asked, "What is that thing?" ”
The young man smiled and said, "It's just a weak weirdness that only knows 'nibbling'. ”
Hearing the young man's words, Chen Xiao's mind suddenly became a mess.
He wanted to continue to ask, but found that the other party had already gotten up and walked to the gate of the community, disappearing from his field of vision.
Around the corner from the neighborhood, four people gathered on a jeep.
Three men and one woman.
The three men are all very strong, full of muscles, and the woman is dressed very simply, she wears black sneakers, skinny jeans, and a black vest on the upper body.
The short-haired woman with white headphones in her ears stood out as she sat among the three big men.
"Why did it come out so quickly?" One of the men laughed maliciously: "No more? ”
The young man jumped on the back seat of the jeep and held his head for a long time without raising his head: "Get out!" ”
The man with big chest muscles sitting in the co-pilot seat said: "The information about this Taixu has been analyzed, the main weirdness of this Taixu is the humanoid mantis that is not judged, the danger level is relatively low, and the source power acquisition is also relatively low." There may be a freak that has successfully metamorphosed into an F-class and is also in it, and the main goal of our trip is it. It's been delayed for 6 days, get rid of it early and go back early. ”
After hearing the news, the three men sitting in the car discussed: "There is actually an F-class weirdness, and you are going to make a fortune this time, haha." ”
The man with big pectorals sitting in the co-pilot said: "Don't talk nonsense, the other team has already gone, let's hurry up." ”
The jeep slammed the gas pedal and disappeared into the street.
within the community.
Chen Xiao still stayed in place, his brows tightly locked.
Too empty?
It seems like a complete system, but unfortunately there is so little information that is known to make more inferences.
Chen Xiao, who had no clue, looked at the half of the long knife in his hand, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.
Not far away, the strange corpse was still in place.
Chen Xiao walked over.
He remembered that night, after defeating the monsters, one of the young men had taken out a special device and absorbed the corpses of the monsters.
Is there anything special about this?
The woman's decapitated body and the monster's body are still together. Chen Xiao held his breath, ignored the corpse of the woman on the side, and concentrated on observing the corpse of the monster.
This humanoid praying mantis is about the same height as an adult, a little more robust than an adult man, with two tentacles on the top of its head, which is smaller than the one seen before, and the outer shell of the body is thinner.
Its skin is green and oily, with a hard shell on part of its back. The arms are sickle-shaped bones, different from humans, and they look hard and sharp. Its face has no eyeballs, eyelids, or nose, and only a pair of large compound eyes and chewing mouthparts.
Chen Xiao reached out and touched the green blood on the forehead of the humanoid mantis, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
It's actually ...... Fragrant?!!!
A feeling of hunger came out of Chen Xiao's stomach, and an extremely crazy thought suddenly appeared in his mind - to eat it.
Chen Xiao was taken aback by this thought: "Why do I have such a thought?" ”
However, since this thought was born, he no longer had the same sensory discomfort as before, but salivated like a human seeing a roasted whole sheep.
"Would you like to try it?"
