Verse 49
Human beings always feel a trace of inexplicable fear above the sea. Not only because of the boundless vast space of the sea, which makes people feel small, but also because they can't use their skills as freely as on land, facing the fish, shrimp, turtles, sharks, whales, and sea monsters in the sea, they are basically at a congenital disadvantage. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, people have built all kinds of strong ships and sharp weapons, going out to sea to fight the waves, and relying on equipment to protect themselves.
But right now, in the narrow passage, there is no way to avoid it, and the fists and feet can't hurt the big octopus in the slightest. Although this big octopus is extremely cunning, fortunately it doesn't know anything about physics and chemistry, otherwise it really has to sit back and wait for death.
In the darkness, I kept an eye out for the wrists and feet above me that had crawled through the hatch, and I watched out for a sudden attack from the large octopus in front of me. Having witnessed the battle experience I had just experienced, I didn't dare to take it lightly. Faced with the dilemma of the big octopus approaching step by step, I could only think of countermeasures while retreating. Since Sister Zhen was still in the hands of the big octopus, weapons of mass destruction could not be used in a short period of time; If it is a long-range attack, regardless of the outcome, it will be bad if the octopus is frightened and flees back into the sea; If you fight at close range, the thought of the octopus crisscrossing so many tentacles and the sharp barbs exposed is tantamount to killing yourself...
What can I do about it?
Just as I was thinking about what to do, I retreated to the corner from the first floor to the second floor, and I couldn't help but feel a shock to the air flow around me, and I seemed to hear something in my ears. The sound was small and fragmented in the flowing airflow, and I tried to identify the source of the sound, but I didn't realize that the sound was far and near, left and right, and the sound fluctuated throughout the corridor, making it difficult to fathom.
But one thing I know for sure is that there are other unknown beings on this boat besides me and the octopus brother in front of me. At this time, I couldn't hear any sound in my ears, maybe I had noticed that I was hiding in some dark corner and watching my every move.
Oh no, I secretly said something bad in my heart.
At present, the situation is unclear to the enemy and me, and Brother Octopus is eyeing me in front of me, I dare not be careless, let alone leak any flaws, so I can only try my best to pretend that I did not find the enemy and continue to retreat. If that thing is really eyeing me in the dark, instead of leaving me alone to face this guy's bloodthirsty watching, it is better to meet the three brothers, let Brother Octopus also come out to make an appearance, and everyone knows each other, otherwise I can't live up to myself.
Thinking of this, I was courageous, and while looking around with the corner of my eye, I cautiously continued to retreat, the submachine gun in my hand quietly passed through the sleeve of my coat and turned the muzzle of the gun to aim behind me. If that thing chooses to attack me from behind, it's just enough bullet for a pot of bullets.
Liu Zizhen, who was hanging in the air, didn't know about this sudden change, she just saw that I was constantly retreating, and she couldn't help but be anxious. At this moment, the big octopus is not in a hurry to beat her for a while, but seems to want to kill me all and add a meal.
She shook her legs vigorously, but she didn't get the slightest chance of a gap, the octopus tentacles firmly bound her legs, and the suction cups were tightly coiled on her legs, so strong suction could not be freed from the inside without external force. Although his hands were not restricted, half of his body was hanging in the air, and there was nothing he could do with his bare hands, so he could only do it in a hurry. At this moment, she suddenly noticed that I had stopped in front of me, and I didn't know why.
Could it be that this stupid boy is going to fight for his life with this cunning big octopus?
The big octopus saw me stop, and began to crawl towards me at an accelerated pace with its stout tentacles. It's not that I don't want to keep back, it's that I've found something. When I almost retreated from the escalator on the second floor, I heard a faint noise overhead, and I subconsciously squinted my eyes and swept up and down, and sure enough, I noticed something unusual.
I saw that in the corner of the second floor under a broken porthole, there seemed to be something crawling behind the stairs on the second floor, I didn't see what it was, but I saw a few sparse black hairs exposed in my sight, the hair was dark and shiny, and it kept swinging, and a discerning person could tell at a glance that it was not a normal person's hair at all.
Smack.
Suddenly, a cloud of water droplets fell to the ground, and I was stunned, and the movement of the big octopus in the passage was also stagnant. I looked up in the direction where the water droplets fell on the ground, and with the help of the night eye, I could clearly see that there was a drop of water condensed at the edge of the second staircase where the unknown object was crawling, and suddenly another drop of water fell.
Water?
I frowned slightly, and stared for a long time, although the air in this corridor was very humid, but it was far from condensing. When I looked closely, it was undoubtedly a drop of water, and it was not mixed with other colors, and I was slightly relieved, as long as it wasn't human blood. To be honest, along the way, my psychological values seem to have been re-delegated to labor reform, and my whole mental outlook has become much more tense. Looking at the puddle of water stains on the ground, I suddenly thought of something, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Could it be that this thing has just climbed up from the sea?
I was horrified at the thought of this, if this thing really had just climbed onto the boat from the sea, then was it the only one? Could it be that something else has already come up in advance? It would be bad if that were the case!
The more I thought about it, the more difficult it became for me to control myself, and the sense of crisis in my heart was stronger than ever, and my face suddenly became extremely ugly. At the moment, it seems that there is only one way to choose, and I will fight.
I made up my mind, stared at the big octopus in the corridor in front of me, and beckoned to the big octopus. Although the light in the cabin was dim, because I was under the window, Liu Zizhen could still see my movements more or less clearly by the light of the lightning that flashed outside the window from time to time, and she only found it incredulous: this stupid boy is crazy.
Suddenly, she noticed my strange posture and saw that my gun was caught in a creaking socket with the handle facing forward. In an instant, she also realized that if it wasn't for me not to run, it was very likely that I wouldn't be able to run away.
Fortunately, the big octopus didn't really become a sperm, otherwise it would have run away by now. I saw it continue to move forward, and in a short time its huge figure had slowly emerged from the entrance of the passage.
One step, two steps. I counted the distance between the octopus and me.
Closer, closer.
Just as its tentacles were about to touch me, I moved.
