Chapter 32: The Brood
Chu Cheng was stunned to find that when he meditated on his mother in his heart, the pointer in the center of the compass ...... It's gone!
If the compass rotates clockwise in place, it means that the position of Chu Cheng and the target coincides; Does the disappearance of the compass pointer mean that the target is beyond the scope of the compass?
"Could it be that my mother has already ......" Chu Cheng's heart seemed to be held by a big hand, he gritted his teeth and changed the meditation word from "mother" to ...... "mother's corpse".
Who knows, the hand of the compass flashed and disappeared again.
"That is, the mother...... Probably alive? Seeing this, Chu Cheng felt a little more at ease.
"For now, we can only meet up with the people in the village as soon as possible to find out what is going on." Something was wrong, and it was about his closest relatives, although Chu Cheng forced himself to calm down, his chest still seemed to be pressed against a boulder, and he was suffocated for a while.
"Control your emotions, your blood pressure is rising." The Flame Empress's reminder sounded in his mind, and Chu Cheng saw that on the back of his right hand, a slippery eye was staring at him.
"I'll take control, don't worry." Chu Cheng transmitted his voice to the Flame Empress through his consciousness.
"Well, I'm not worried about you, I'm afraid that you will kill me in a wave." The Flame Empress said, "In my current state, if you die, I will follow you." ”
It seems that she is afraid that others will find out about her existence, and when outsiders are present, the Flame Empress transmits sounds and images directly into Chu Cheng's mind through nerve conduction.
Controlling his emotions for a moment, Chu Cheng ignored the flame empress's black mouth, he replaced the meditation word with "Brian", and the needle of the compass suddenly reacted, quickly pointing out a direction.
At this moment, the girl beside her also suddenly closed her eyes, and Chu Cheng saw a faint black aura beating in the heart of the girl's eyebrows, and it was fleeting.
In the next second, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, and the direction in which her eyes were looking was exactly the same as that of Chu Cheng's compass.
Obviously, the girl had just used some kind of probing method, and the results of her probing were actually consistent with Chu Cheng in the direction.
"The girl in front of you should be related to the people in the village going underground." Chu Chengxin made a judgment when he was neutral, but when he didn't know the identity of the girl, there were some things that he couldn't find out.
However, since he and the girl have the same destination and travel together temporarily, it can be regarded as an extra layer of protection in this dangerous underground.
Thinking of this, Chu Cheng took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and showed a frank smile, "No matter what, we have also experienced life and death together, can I know your name?" ”
The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and shook Chu Cheng's hand, and slowly spit out a name in the middle of a sound, "Griffith." ”
"Chu Cheng." Chu Cheng reported to his family. He knew that the name Griffith was most likely not the girl's real name.
But since the girl chooses to dress as a man, there must be a reason for it.
If the girl doesn't talk about this kind of thing, it is impossible for Chu Cheng to take the initiative to ask.
Without saying a word all the way, Chu Cheng and Griffith walked one after the other, heading towards the depths of the earth.
The position of the two of them at the moment was a ditch under the floor of the corridor. Compared to the corridor, the temperature here is lower, and the clothes of both of them are very thin, and they both feel a chill between them.
"Listen, there's a voice up ahead." At that moment, Griffith's footsteps suddenly faltered.
Chu Cheng listened with bated breath, and sure enough, he faintly heard a human voice in front of him.
"Could it be the villagers who have been separated from the army?" Hearing the human voice, Chu Cheng's nerves tensed instead.
It's true that what he hears is a human voice, but it's not a human voice, but it's not necessarily!
The ditch stretches straight and unobstructed.
At the same time that Chu Cheng and Griffith noticed the movement ahead, the people in front also discovered them.
The two sides slowly approached, and Chu Cheng soon saw that the people who came were three men and one woman.
The leader of the four was a brown-haired young man with gloomy eyes. In his hand he was holding a crudely made double-barreled shotgun, the barrel of which was swayed with various metal parts, which seemed to be an earthen weapon made in a folk workshop.
Chu admits that the young man's name is Yale, and he appears to be the son of the village deacon.
The young man was visibly nervous at the sight of the two, but when he saw Griffith clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain Griffith, thank goodness I met you." Yale swept away the gloom in his eyes, and was actually very deferential to Griffith in his words.
At the same time, Yale also saw Chu Cheng behind Griffith, and his face suddenly became a little nervous.
"Captain Griffith, he ......" Yale pointed a gun at Chu Cheng, and stopped talking.
"He's not possessed by the 'Blood Dragon', I've confirmed." Griffith said calmly.
"That's good, that's good, since it's confirmed by Captain Griffith, it's naturally foolproof." A blonde woman behind Yale chimed in.
The woman has long hair and a shawl, a charming face, and a pair of eyes that are swinging with autumn water, as if her gaze can catch people.
Chu Cheng noticed that the three men in the field, including Yale, were all a little embarrassed at the moment, and only the woman was well-dressed.
Clearly, along the way, women have been the focus of protection for the three men.
"This woman is very good at taking advantage of men's weaknesses." Chu Cheng didn't say much, and followed behind Griffith very low-key.
Like this kind of scheming girl, Chu Cheng naturally doesn't pay attention to it. What really stunned him was Griffith's identity.
You know, in terms of age alone, Yale is several years older than Griffith, but his words are so deferential, it is obvious that Griffith's identity is not trivial.
In addition, the title of head of the regiment seems to imply something.
Everyone traveled together, and in order to obtain information, Chu Cheng quickly mingled with Yale and others.
From Yale's mouth, Chu Cheng learned that the blonde woman's name was Termia, and the two slightly wooden young men beside her were John and Jason.
According to the information provided by Yale, the whole village entered the underground together under the leadership of the village chief, which should be the third day that Chu Cheng was locked up in the confinement room.
Perhaps due to the large number of people entering the underground and the excessive movement, the team was soon attacked by an automaton called the "Blood Bug".
The so-called "Blood Dragon" is the kind of monster shaped like a spider that Chu Cheng killed.
According to the previous experience of the village, this kind of automaton called "blood fly" is actually more common underground. If it was only sporadical, it would not be much of a threat to the team, so the villagers didn't pay much attention to it at first.
But as the large army continued to go deeper into the ground, the blood flies actually began to appear in groups, and the village chief and the others felt that something was wrong.
What's even more terrifying is that these blood flies can't help but be extremely aggressive, and once they get into people's brains, they will directly control people's bodies, and this control is very difficult to distinguish.
Under the internal and external troubles, the situation of the large army is suddenly full of dangers, if it is not suppressed by capable people in the team, I am afraid that the entire team will fall apart in an instant.
But the good times didn't last long, and as the large army continued to go deeper, they actually encountered a bloody ...... underground. Brood!
