Chapter Forty-Eight: Bone-Chilling
Under the guidance of the 'Ring of the Nibelungen', Chu Cheng and Imari cautiously marched towards the depths of the "Hall". The interior of the entire "hall" is frighteningly large, and the floor and walls are also very regular from a macroscopic point of view.
But in reality, the seemingly "flat" walls and floors are made up of countless metal structures that are densely packed together like Lego bricks. A large number of metal structures over five meters tall protrude irregularly from the ground, like Tetris that has not been eliminated in time, dividing the floor of the "Hall" like a criss-crossing labyrinth.
The entire "hall" was extremely quiet, and Chu Cheng could even clearly hear his own breathing and heartbeat. But according to the data on the retina, around Chu Cheng and Imari, there are at least dozens of red or black marked points cruising. These inhuman horrors are like ghosts lurking in the shadows, ready to open their bloody mouths and choose people to devour.
"Master......" Imari cautiously followed behind Chu Cheng, as Chu Cheng's contract witch, her retina was also sharing the data of the last sound synchronously at this moment. Surrounded by unknown dangers, Imari's silk coat was unconsciously soaked with sweat, and even his breathing was frozen in his violently undulating chest, making it more and more difficult.
Seeing that Imari's face was getting paler and paler, Chu Chenggang was about to whisper a few words of comfort. At this moment, a piercing cry for help suddenly came from the darkness ahead!
"Help! Help me! The voice was very high-pitched, as if it was terrified to the extreme, and even the tone was distinctly distorted.
"Could it be someone from the Eagle Regiment?" The sudden cry for help made Chu Cheng's body shake slightly. However, on the retina map, there are no green dots in the area ahead that represent humans at all.
"Help me! Come on...... Who's going to save me! At this moment, the cry for help sounded again, the voice was so piercing that anyone could feel the frightened and helpless emotions of the owner of the voice, and life was worse than death.
Chu Cheng's perception was so keen, he immediately recognized that this voice seemed to be closer to him and Imari than before. At the same time, a strange feeling suddenly passed through Chu Cheng's heart, although the cry for help had been seriously distorted and distorted, Chu Cheng suddenly felt that this voice was ...... It seems somewhat familiar.
The voice...... Could it be? An answer suddenly flashed in his heart, and Chu Cheng felt his scalp explode in an instant, he had drunk with everyone in the Eagle Regiment, and immediately recognized this voice...... It seems to be one of the members of the Eagle Regiment.
If that's all there is to it, there's nothing to be afraid of. But Chu Cheng remembered very clearly that the owner of this voice was ...... when the face-eating insects attacked the camp It's dead!
A chill rose up along his back! At this moment, another completely different rustling sound suddenly came from the direction of the sound source, followed by a strange sound of "gurgling". With this strange sound, Chu Cheng saw a pipe wriggling like a living thing, and suddenly drilled out from the inside of a metal body not far away.
"Help me! Help me! The pipe let out a terrible scream, and at the same time stood up from the ground like a snake, revealing the internal structure like a fleshy esophagus, and pounced directly on Chu Cheng and Imari.
"Be careful!" When danger came, Chu Cheng immediately hugged Imari's waist, and the two easily dodged each other's attacks. However, at the moment when the body and the monster were staggered, Chu Cheng clearly saw that on the surface of the monster's inorganic body, there seemed to be a ...... A blurry and hideous face!
What kind of face was that, like a living skeleton in high decay, with white teeth and gums directly exposed. However, in the skull's eye socket, there was an unusually vivid eyeball, which was spinning back and forth in horror......
Fear! Resentment! Helpless! It's better to live than to die!
Even if they were far away, Chu Cheng could clearly feel the despair bursting from that eyeball. What made Chu Cheng feel even more creepy was that despite the hideous and blurred outline, Chu Cheng still recognized the owner of this face, which was the member of the dead Eagle Regiment!
At this moment, from the monster's body cavity, more than a dozen lines of flesh as thin as a hair suddenly erupted, directly enveloping Chu Cheng and Imari. The meat line seemed to be light, but it was actually extremely fast, but fortunately, Chu Cheng pulled Imari backwards at the moment when he had a premonition of danger, and only then did he narrowly avoid the shroud of the meat line.
......As soon as the flesh threads touched the floor, they suddenly made a chilling sound of metal corrosion, and if this fell on a person, it would not be instantly corroded in half from the center.
"Why don't you save me! Why don't you save me!! The screams of despair and poignancy were particularly piercing in the silent darkness. With the screams of that face, more lines of flesh erupted from the monster's body cavity. However, as soon as half of the flesh line erupted, a swirling cold light had already slashed at the monster's body, which was the machete that Chu Cheng used as a means of transportation.
"Tear up." The scarlet blood spilled, and the monster's body was cut off by the waist in an instant, and after a few convulsions, it was silent, leaving only the resentful screams that belonged to humans, which still echoed in the air, and did not disperse for a long time!
"Imari, go! Something around is being drawn in. Chu Cheng picked up Imari with one hand, picked up the machete from the ground with the other, and ran quickly towards the depths of the "hall".
Guided by the 'Ring of the Nibelungen', the two of them rushed left and right in the darkness, avoiding the approaching inhuman objects around them, and slowed down until they reached a relatively safe area.
At this moment, Imari's pale cheeks were already soaked with sweat, and although Chu Cheng was not too embarrassed, the horror in his heart could not be calmed down until this moment.
"I'm sure that the cry for help just now was definitely the dead member of the Eagle Regiment!" Chu Cheng thought in his heart, "But how could the voice of a dead man appear on that monster's body?" ”
"Could it be that when that person was killed by the face-eating worm, a part of his consciousness became part of the face-eating worm?"
This thought made Chu Cheng's heart run through the bone! He couldn't imagine how it would be for a person to die in fear and pain, only to find that he had survived and partially merged with the monster...... What a terrible and desperate end!
