Chapter 5: The Human-Faced Scorpion

The plague is over.

Zhou Yang didn't have any intention of dealing with this man, he was now thinking about how to survive in this world.

There are monsters (food), and humans who seem to be similar to the Anomalous, including guns and cars, and the language is no different from the previous plane.

But this place is completely different from the previous plane.

"Big brother, big brother, take me with you."

Zhou Yang walked as he walked, and the man behind him carried a bloody double knife, following him step by step, shouting at Zhou Yang who was contemplating.

The voice was sincere, and the listener couldn't help but be moved, but Zhou Yang just looked back at the man, and then shook his head.

"Ugh."

After chasing for a long time, seeing that Zhou Yang had no response, the man finally gave up. A trace of pity flashed in the man's eyes, but it was a pity that he didn't hug Zhou Yang's thigh for such a long-term meal ticket......

His stomach rumbled......

Zhou Yang stood on the street corner, bowed his head and pondered: he has too many secrets on his body now, and he is not suitable to act with others until he understands the actual situation of this world.

What the man said just now, he was indeed a little moved. But after comprehensive consideration, Zhou Yang still gave up this tempting idea.

He doesn't think that as soon as his domineering spirit unfolds, there will be all kinds of fierce future defectors, that is the content of the Three Kingdoms novel, this is not the Three Kingdoms.

"You promised?"

Seeing Zhou Yang go and return, a hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. Of course, it is impossible for him to work hard for Zhou Yang, but if he can earn a certain income just by being a bodyguard, he is very willing to serve.

"No, I just wanted to ask you, what does this fireworks mean?"

Zhou Yang pointed to the fireworks in the corner of the town and asked the man. It's a little hard to see the fireworks against the sun......

Even if you survive the plague, you shouldn't be celebrated like this.

"Oops."

Seeing this firework, the man's face instantly turned pale. He didn't even explain the idea of fireworks to Zhou Yang, but ran directly to the east of the town.

The man was not the only one who made such a move, almost all the people who understood the meaning of the fireworks began to rush towards the east gate of the town.

This kind of panic was the kind that Zhou Yang had never seen on their faces. Even at the moment when the plague was coming, more people were just panicking, and they didn't flee like this.

It didn't take long for the streets of the town to become empty. From the time of people coming and going to the present, it seems that time has not long passed.

"It's ......"

Zhou Yang, who was confused, felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he also walked in the direction of the east gate. But on the way forward, he bumped into a person.

A man who suddenly ran out of an alley in a hurry......

"It's okay."

bumped into someone, and Zhou Yang couldn't care about his bloody appearance, so he was ready to help up the person who was knocked down by him.

On the way to stretch out his hand, Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment.

The slightly familiar shabby straw hat appeared in front of him, and the gray clothes on his body were in tatters, except for the missing bowl, which was almost exactly the same as the homeless man he had seen with a joyful glint in his eyes before.

No, it should be said that it is a person.

"I'm fine."

A hoarse voice came from under the straw hat, but Zhou Yang asked with concern: "Is it really okay?" I'll take you with me, ...... over here."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang saw a white light appear under the gray clothes, and slashed at his throat, and at the same time, the gray man spoke again: "Nosy guy, go die!" ”

The white light was a short, sharp steel dagger. Zhou Yang saw the dagger, but with his reaction speed and physical fitness, there was no way to react in such a short time.

"Boom."

Seeing Zhou Yang's shocked look, the man in gray laughed happily. A very ugly laugh came into Zhou Yang's ears, but he only stared at the exposed half of the gray-clothed man's arm.

This half of the arm is full of disgusting maggots, and the arm of the maggot parasitic has turned a strange purple, and there are disgusting lines on it.

The dagger slashed through Zhou Yang's neck, but the man in gray found that the dagger was stuck in Zhou Yang's neck and couldn't pull it out.

"It's okay, I've always been afraid of death......"

Looking at the man in gray, Zhou Yang touched his neck. Although his reflexes were not fast enough to face such a quick attack, he had made all-round protection against himself long before he fought the plague rat tide.

The hardness of the Soul Devouring Wood was enough to reassure Zhou Yang.

"How could it be ......?"

The man in gray immediately lost his voice. He couldn't believe that a young man covered in blood had actually prevented his thunderous sneak attack.

"Die!."

Several pieces of wood pierced the ground, piercing the gray-clad man through his chest and erecting him.

Red blood flowed downward......

For people who threaten his safety, Zhou Yang has always had no good feelings. What's more, he didn't show the slightest mercy to such a guy who shot at himself for no reason.

"Boom."

There was another strange laugh, and the gray-clothed man, who was so tenacious that his internal organs were in a mess, smiled at Zhou Yang again.

The laughter was as oozing as ever.

After laughing, the man in gray was silent, and Zhou Yang withdrew the wooden thorn, not even thinking of letting the Soul Eater Ancient Tree devour the man in gray.

This guy was so disgusting that Zhou Yang couldn't do it at all, and it also made Zhou Yang understand that in addition to the epidemic variant, there were some other things that might pose a threat to him in this time and space.

He didn't even think that the Men in Gray was still a person.

Hidden under the gray coat of the straw hat was pale and hard as iron. If Zhou Yang had to find something to describe this gray-clothed man, then the resurrected corpse should be the most reliable for Zhou Yang.

Like a zombie......

……

The corpse of the man in gray fell to the ground, and the frightened maggots began to scatter in all directions.

Suddenly, Zhou Yang felt the ground shake, and there was a loud noise from the side of the city wall that he had just walked over.

He raised his head and glanced to the left, and a plague sand scorpion about ten meters tall appeared in front of him.

The scorpion was gray all over, with no spikes on its tail, only a head that seemed to distort its face, and from time to time it emitted a "slender" laugh similar to that of a man in gray.

Soon, the city wall, which had not collapsed under the attack of the rat tide, was torn apart like a piece of paper under the pair of chelicera of the scorpion.

After the city wall was broken, the distorted human-faced demon scorpion did not stop here, but crawled directly towards the place where Zhou Yang was.

It's said to be climbing, but the speed is actually extremely fast.
