Chapter 31: Monsters
Just when Jiang Ningyu was about to check the backpack, a monster suddenly rushed out of the cave, the monster was very ugly, his facial features were distorted, and a bloody mouth had a mouthful of fangs, he looked like a human, wearing a tattered Japanese military uniform, I saw him stretch out his claw-like hand and pounce directly at Jiang Ningyu.
When Jiang Ningyu saw the monster, his frightened legs were weak, his body couldn't move because of fear, and he saw that the monster's claws were about to catch Jiang Ningyu's body, and at this time, a "bang" gunshot, and the monster was hit by Qin Hai.
The monster was very close to the two of them, so Qin Hai's shot hit the monster's chest, and the monster roared, turned around and ran back to the cave.
Jiang Ningyu saw the monster run away, and for the rest of his life, his body went soft and sat directly on the ground.
Qin Hai saw Jiang Ningyu sitting on the ground, thinking that he was injured, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Where did it hurt? ”
"No, it's okay, I'm just scared, my body is soft, I'll be fine in a while." Jiang Ningyu said with palpitations.
Qin Hai also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Ningyu's words, he was also frightened by the appearance of the monster just now, if he hadn't subconsciously shot directly, Jiang Ningyu would probably have been injured by now.
"What's that?" Qin Hai asked.
"I don't know exactly what it is, it should be something from a legend, that is, the demons and monsters that old people used to say." Jiang Ningyu replied, although he felt that there was something here, he didn't expect it to really exist.
"Mandrills?" Qin Hai asked suspiciously.
"No, it is said that the mandrill is a spirit, and this one looks like a person, and he is still wearing a Japanese military uniform, which is very likely to have changed after the death of little Japan." Jiang Ningyu thought for a while and said.
Qin Hai pointed his gun at the cave and looked inside the cave, it was very deep inside, it looked like there was a fork in the road, it was not like a man-made building outside, there were no traces of artificiality, but it was naturally formed.
"What now?" Qin Hai was very confused, and a legendary ghost appeared in an ordinary search and rescue work.
"I want to think about it!" Jiang Ningyu carefully recalled the information he had checked recently, and he felt that he had some impressions of this kind of monster, but because this monster was not a ghost, he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but just looked at it casually and regarded it as a story.
Suddenly, Jiang Ningyu remembered a story he had read a few days ago, which described a monster very similar to the current one.
There are many names for this kind of monster, most of them are called ogres in foreign countries, ghouls, and in China this thing is called Aoin, although there are differences, but they are roughly the same, they eat corpses, living people, and most of the specific reasons for their formation are that people are buried in the ground when they are alive, and then the people around them all die, because there is no food, so they rely on corpses to survive, and finally become this half-human, half-ghost, they no longer have no emotion, only the desire for food, every time after eating, they will go to sleep, to reduce consumption, and when they are awakened by hunger again, it is time to hunt.
The formation of this ghoul here is probably because of the defeat of Japan at that time, almost all of them were crushed and cut their stomachs, only one person was more cowardly, and did not commit suicide, and when he ate all the food in the warehouse, there was no food, only corpses remained, because of hunger, he finally had to start eating corpses, and after eating corpses, the Japanese embarked on the road of no return, and finally formed such a monster.
Jiang Ningyu recalled it carefully, he remembered that it was said in the story that such monsters were afraid of fire and light, so they would only haunt at night, and Jiang Ningyu and they were attacked, most likely because the bright light of the flashlight angered them.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningyu couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that many things that looked like stories were actually true, but no one believed it, just take the previous ghost big rooster to save lives, all say so, but who knows that the big rooster can really drive away evil spirits and save lives, and if he hadn't really met a ghoul this time, he wouldn't have believed that what was said in that story was true.
It seems that the world is not so peaceful, there are many unknown things, some people have seen them, but no one believes them, and more of them are treated as mental illness, and the reason why this is the case is that everyone will not panic and remain peaceful.
"What the hell is going on? Do we go in or don't we go in? Qin Hai interrupted Jiang Ningyu's thoughts.
"Come in, but I need to find something." After Jiang Ningyu finished speaking, he began to look in the backpack at the entrance of the cave.
Monsters are afraid of fire, Mr. Zhou's backpack has a lot of things to survive in the wild that can be used, such as solid alcohol blocks, signal firing guns, solid alcohol blocks needless to say, you can use them as incendiary bombs when you click on them, although ordinary people are not afraid, but monsters are most afraid of fire, and they can use it, and the signal flare emitted by the signal transmitter gun is a burning fireball, which can also cause damage to monsters.
Jiang Ningyu put all the alcohol blocks into a net pocket and carried them on his back, if he saw a monster, he would directly ignite it and still go out, forming a large-scale group of incendiary bombs, and then Jiang Ningyu put away all the three flare guns and ten signal flares, handed Qin Hai a hand, and left two handfuls in one hand, so that Jiang Ningyu could be regarded as fully armed.
"Do these things work?" Qin Hai asked suspiciously.
"Generally, such monsters are afraid of fire, these things should be able to deal with him, you must aim, as long as the monster is set on fire, we will be considered victorious." Jiang Ningyu explained.
"Are you sure this monster is afraid of fire?" Qin Hai still couldn't believe it.
"Sure, such monsters are formed in the underworld, just like the underground, and they don't dare to see the light at all, let alone fire, so it's the most correct thing to use fire to deal with them." Jiang Ningyu believed what was said in that story, because guns can only injure these monsters, not kill, of course, the large caliber is another matter, so now only fire can destroy this monster.
Maybe the special ammunition of some firearms can destroy such monsters, such as incendiary bombs and the like, but now Qin Hai only has one pistol, let alone special ammunition.
Jiang Ningyu held the flare gun, and the confidence in his heart was also a little full, no longer as bare-handed as just now, and he had no power to fight back when facing monsters, at least now he has the strength to fight, and he is no longer a lamb to be slaughtered.
The two of them grabbed their weapons and began to enter the cave, which was not very smooth, and the two stumbled down.
It didn't take long to see a fork in the road, Jiang Ningyu carefully identified it, these two roads all have traces of walking, and it is impossible to tell which side the monster has gone, although the monster is injured, but for such a monster, the blood on their bodies is basically coagulated, even if they are injured, they can't see the blood flowing out, and there is no trace.
