Chapter Forty-Six: A Strange Scene
CHAPTER XLVI
I watched the man and the chair fall like this, and a sense of foreboding instantly crept into my heart, and I hurriedly shouted to Chubby, "Chubby! Stay away from him! Xiaopang was probably also frightened by this strange scene, and quickly retreated to my side and Xiaohao, and did not forget to raise the gun to defend himself. We stood like this, staring intently at the man who had fallen, and since he had fallen with his back to us, we could not confirm the actual situation, but for a long time there was no movement.
"It's not going to be a dead man, is it?" Chubby asked us cautiously.
Judging from his lying posture, it was very awkward and stiff, indeed like a long-dead corpse, but how could a dead corpse whistle? We waited for a few more minutes to make sure that the man who had fallen would not move again, and the three of us surrounded him from different directions, and when we all came to the front of the man and focused the flashlight on his face, we realized that he was, no, it should have been, it was really just a corpse.
The parasite-infected body of the worm-man had begun to blacken and fester, and it seemed to have been dead for a long time, and there was a slightly larger hole between the two tentacles of its head, which was supposed to be a fatal wound, but this hole was prismatic, not at all like a firearm or an ordinary cold weapon, which caused me a lot of trouble. Who killed this worm? And why is it placed here to "sit" on a chair? The whistle can't really be made by it, right?
"That's weird, judging from the characteristics of this monster's corpse, it's estimated that it's been dead for a few days, but we really heard that whistle just now, and besides, monsters can't whistle, right?" Xiao Hao was in professional instinct, constantly searching for possible clues on this corpse.
"Don't scare me, there's no reason for a corpse to whistle." Chubby said.
Of course I don't really believe that a corpse whistles, there must be something else that makes a sound, or maybe someone else makes a sound? I shone my flashlight into the dark corners of the room to see if something was hiding and we didn't find it, but it turned out to be disappointing.
"In addition to this wound, there is something special about this corpse, in addition, the wrists and ankles are tied with ropes and connected to the chair, so that they can be fixed and kept in a sitting position." Xiao Hao clapped his hands and stood up, his eyes still not moving away from the corpse of the worm.
"What does that mean......" When I heard Xiao Hao say this, I felt that my thoughts seemed to be confirmed.
"Yes, it must be artificial, someone put it here for some purpose and then drew us in." Xiao Hao slowly analyzed.
"And what drew us into this room?" Chubby asked again.
Xiao Hao shook his head and said he didn't know.
Just when we were here puzzled, there was a small noise at the door of this room, because this was underground, and the space was relatively small, and any sound would be almost infinitely amplified, and this noise would naturally not escape my ears. I strangely shone my flashlight in the direction of the door, and at some point two figures with teeth and claws had already arrived at the door, and it seemed that they were still walking towards us.
"It's broken!" I screamed and didn't hesitate to shoot these two guys to death, maybe our attention was too focused on the corpse of the worm before, and now this is going to be a catastrophe and we haven't reacted to it, if it wasn't for the noise of this worm being too low-level, we might have been attacked and killed. It's hard to imagine that if it were a Zerg, we would die a few times, even if it were a savage Bug Beast, with its terrifying explosive power, it would be enough for us to drink a pot.
Fat and Hao heard that I was shooting, and finally realized the danger at the door of this house, but the situation was not good, we seemed to be aware of it, and when we looked out of the door, we found that these two worm people were just appetizers, because there was actually a group of worm people behind them who were marching towards us! I looked at it by the light of the flashlight, but I couldn't see the exact number.
"Wow, where did these guys come from? Drilled out of the ground? Chubby hurriedly raised his gun and killed the nearest insects. Xiao Hao and I were not idle, shooting to stop the pace of these insects, but because there were too many of them, and it may have been that the sound of our gunfire stimulated them a little, this group of insects did not retreat but actually accelerated their pace.
"It's not okay to fight like this, we have limited ammunition, but I don't know if there are a limited number of them." Xiao Hao said loudly.
I put down and grabbed it, and looked at the surrounding environment, and finally put my eyes on the thin door, although the door looks unreliable, but if the door is closed, maybe it can block them for a while, delay the time, we think about the way back is not too late, so I hurriedly stepped forward to close the door, who expected that the two insect people before just fell on the door frame, the door to the card owner, completely closed.
"Holy." I scolded angrily, there was no way, so I hurriedly bent down to drag the two insect corpses that were in the way, but what I didn't expect was that the two insect corpses died unexpectedly, and I could only barely drag a few centimeters with all my strength, and I ran out of strength after a while, and I couldn't make these two corpses move for half a minute.
"Hiss, woo" The wormmen gathered together, and the originally low cries became louder, and I could feel that they were getting closer and closer to our room, and I kicked the broken door in a bit of despair, and I couldn't even close it, let alone stop this countless "army" of wormmen.
I stood with my gun in my hand, listening to the approaching footsteps of the worms, my heart pounding rapidly, the hand holding the rifle tightened and tightened, and cold sweat kept coming out of my forehead, I swallowed my saliva and looked at the door of the room a little distracted, how the hell is this, in this almost airtight room, it is simply impossible to escape.
Soon the door was easily slammed open, and a few insects entered first, and I reacted and shot at the fire, and I took advantage of this firepower to sweep away a few insects at once, but this was only a drop in the bucket after all, and more insects came one after another stepping on the corpses of their "companions", one by one with their bloody mouths wide open, extremely vicious, as if they wanted to knock me down and eat them immediately.
After I finished shooting a magazine, I didn't have time to change it, I always felt that something was wrong, just shoot alone, just shoot alone, when I changed the magazine, it stands to reason that Chubby and Xiaohao should give fire support? And since just now, it seems that I haven't heard the movement of Xiaopang and Xiaohao, and now the enemy has no indication at all? Why did they go?
I stepped back and looked back, "Holy, what about people?" Why is it all gone all at once?
