Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ghouls
I seem to have had an extremely long dream, in which I have crossed countless years, met countless strange people and things, and in that starry sky that is always spinning, there are countless lost and searching.
When he woke up, the zenith starlight was no longer there, and Liu had already woken up and cut the large piece of tarpaulin to burn it. These old tarpaulins were covered with soil, it was difficult to burn, and there was smoke whirring, and Liu Dongxi was carrying a pot, not knowing what was cooking. Lu Yan was still leaning on the stone, looking at the darkness at the end of the light, not knowing what he was thinking.
I got down from the stone, moved over, and asked Liu Shi, "Where did you get the pot?" ”
Liu Dongxi lifted the lid of the pot and looked up at me very boringly, I immediately understood, there are some pots and pans in that shed, Liu Dongxi's shed has been demolished, and it is natural to take a pot.
There was nothing big in the pot, just boiled a pot of boiling water, and Liu stuff sprinkled high-energy drink powder into it, and a pungent orange smell immediately spread.
"Can you drink this water?" I felt sick in my chest when I thought of the place where countless corpses were soaked.
Liu Dongxi nodded and said, "Of course you can drink it!" At this time, if you don't drink, you have to die, are you dead or drinking? ”
I stared at Liu Dongxi, Liu Dongxi didn't seem to see me, he calmly took out a cup and sucked it a little bit, while muttering to himself: "I was trapped in the mountains back then, and the insects between my teeth came over when I drank water, what is this little thing!" ”
At this moment, I was already entangled in my heart, this hunger is indeed a very fatal thing, but after only being hungry for such a short time, I already feel a little weak, and if I don't add something in time, it will really be a very dangerous thing. Seeing this Liu thing provoke me so pretendiously, I couldn't help it, and I grabbed the cup and drank it.
The hot drink instantly drove away the cold and exhaustion all around me, but I always wanted to vomit when I thought of the pool full of corpses, especially the feeling of my palms touching them. I swallowed the drink in one gulp, vomiting can cause dehydration, and I can't afford to bother.
Liu Shixi looked at me with frowns, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "Brother An, you can drink it with confidence, I got this water from elsewhere!" ”
Somewhere else? There is even another water source in this place? Before I asked, Liu Shixin stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, "There is a spring over there, it's clean!" ”
I'm used to Liu Shi's trouble, I really don't have any interest in giving him anything, there is no concern about water, and the drink has become much better, I drank it in one go, Liu Shicai said: "I just don't know if it's connected with that side......"
I didn't pay any more attention to him, and little Adam came back from his patrol out of nowhere, and came up to me and hummed, and I touched the soft fur on its back, staring at the place where light and darkness meet, thinking about things.
The place was as desolate as the surface of Mars in the light of the fire, and I slept so badly that my mind was a mess of things to remember.
At this time, I suddenly saw something moving in the distance! I was immediately alarmed, we had checked around this place for a long distance, and we didn't see any living thing, and then suddenly such a thing appeared, who knows what it was?
Little Adam also stood up with a pout, and his calves trembled like Parkinson's.
I whispered, "What do you see that?" ”
Liu Dongxi looked over there, immediately lowered his body, and whispered: "You have to be careful with everything, you quickly put it back." ”
I looked down at little Adam, the little pig was about to cry, and hurriedly picked it up with one hand and threw it into the bag. Feeling the trembling of the pig in the bag behind me, I asked Liu in a low voice, "What is it?" ”
"I can't see clearly, it's too far away, and the light is not good."
"It's like a ball rolling!" I squinted my eyes and looked at it for a long time!
"How can the ball roll like this? It's rolling so slowly and it doesn't stop, is the engine installed? ”
Listening to Liu Dongxi, I took a closer look, and the black ball had been arching forward, completely at a constant speed, and it had not stopped since it was first discovered. What the hell is this?
By this time the thing had completely moved to the light, moving lonely forward in a straight line. At this time, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, this thing was not just a ball, there seemed to be something else behind the ball!
Liu Dongxi lost his voice and said: "That's a human head!" ”
I was startled, the human head is still moving, so isn't it a monster? Looking closely, what Liu Dongxi said is really good, the outline of the ball should be the top of the head! At this time, the man's head was already very close to us, and what was behind him was vaguely revealed! That's not just a human head, that's a person!
I saw that the man's whole body was black, so thin that there was almost a skeleton left, except for a large head, crawling on all fours like a ghoul in a demonic beast. Looking at that dying appearance, I'm afraid I won't live long!
I was shocked, and my first thought was to save people quickly! Just about to jump up, Liu Dongxi grabbed me, "What are you doing!" ”
"Save people!"
"Saving people? You're going to die! ”
My heart was shocked, and then I reacted, we are in the ground at the moment, not only is it not a gathering place for people, but it is not even a wilderness, and at this time, there is a person crawling, who knows what it is?
But this one looks like a human form, is it a zombie? Or some kind of man-like beast?
"Do you know this thing?" I asked Liu in a low voice.
Liu Dongxi shook his head and said, "I don't know!" But I looked like those dead people in the water! ”
At this time, Lu Yan suddenly appeared beside me and said in a low voice: "Don't move, let him go!" ”
I startled him, looked back at Lu Yan and asked, "What is this?" ”
Lu Yan's face sank like water and shook his head.
Since the discovery of this thing, our posture has not changed, at this time the three of them sat around the fire, an iron pot is steaming, the scene looks very warm, who knows that it is not far away, there is a thing that I don't know if it is a person or a ghost, is slowly passing by!
This thing is already less than ten meters away from us, Liu Dongxi is right, this person should be a fresh version of those people in the puddle. All the flesh and skin of the body were gone, except for clumps of internal organs wrapped in ribs and a large head. The bones of the whole body were tightly wrapped in a translucent black membrane, and the blood vessels and esophagus were scattered from the broken place of the neck, dragging wet marks on the ground.
It's been so long since there was no one in Xiazhuang, how could there still be such a thing? I was puzzled by this question, but I didn't dare to ask out loud, so I had to watch quietly.
Although it climbed slowly, it gradually approached us, but fortunately it seemed to be unconscious, moving completely in a straight line, and it should have passed less than two meters away from us.
None of us dared to say anything, and little Adam also cooperated to stop fluttering, and I watched its shoulder blades rise and fall, and my heartbeat seemed to change with its movements. The thing didn't seem to have any ability to hurt, or rather, it didn't feel like we were nearby, just walked firmly and mechanically.
Look at the side face that is close at hand! My body suddenly trembled violently, and a shout was held in my throat, and just when I couldn't control it anymore and wanted to shout, Lu Yan quietly put his hand on my back.
I quickly calmed down, but I kept shouting in my heart, how could this be? How so!
The one who crawled around us like a ghost was Ge Haoran!
