Chapter 118: Light and Darkness
The dark blue 'Sea of the Sky' drooped down thousands of silver filaments, washing over the entire town that was being ravaged by sea creatures. The water on the ground was connected in patches, and soon converged into a rushing torrent, spreading from low to high towards the mountains.
The off-road vehicles of Evan and others broke through the barrier of wind and rain and were speeding on the mountain road overflowing with seawater, as if they were flying close to the ground. The narrow and rugged mountain road was splashed with misty water, and as the vehicles whizzed by, two sloping backward waves seemed to be the surface of the sea as a speedboat rushed by. Although the speed of the qualifiers is fast, the slower schools of fish are still approaching slowly, as the mountain road twists and turns, and they can swim in the air but can walk the shortest straight line.
After two hours of chasing after me with a heartbeat, everyone finally approached the foot of Mountain No. 7. However, in the process, the submerged sea creatures in the rear were getting closer and closer, and the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters. The car at the end of the convoy had even touched the infinite shadows cast by the fish, and it looked like it could be swallowed up by the furious sea creatures at any moment.
The white bear turned his head to look behind him, estimated the speed of the approaching sea creatures, and warned loudly:
"No! The trail is so far that we'll be caught up in five minutes at most. ”
"It's okay, we don't take the mountain road!"
Ivan also had a bottom in his heart, his eyes scanned the dense woods on both sides of the road, and after seeing a slightly flat gentle slope sixty meters away, he slammed the steering wheel:
"Sit tight!"
Ga - squeak——!
The axle slammed into dazzling sparks, and the off-road vehicle roared and flicked its tail, sweeping away a large curtain of arcing water, and rushed into the gentle slope like a tiger returning to the forest.
Click——!
Weeds and thorns fill the spaces between the woodlands, buggies crash through thorny branches, and insects fall from the trees as if they were raining. With the roar of the crowd, the SUV rampaged through the dense jungle and finally came to a stop in front of the increasingly dense woods ahead.
"Get out of the car, we're going to run!"
After Evan decisively unbuckled his seat belt and turned off the car, he jumped out and ran to the back compartment, carrying a bag of cans on his back and rushing into the depths of the jungle first. The crowd hurriedly followed, and the convoy behind them also learned from them to rush into the forest, but due to technical reasons, three cars were thrown off the mountain road due to tire slippage.
"White Bear, where is the exact location of the shelter?"
Evan rushed to the front, asking loudly as he tried his best to open the way between the branches.
She said that it was in the artificial lake at the foot of Mount No. 7, but before she finished speaking, no one could do it, and I kept calling but no one answered. ”
The white bear followed closely behind him, squinting his eyes keenly, and analyzed with a quick brain teaser: "If you want to avoid the lake from being polluted, the terrain must be higher there, and there are various shelters around it. What's more, the lake is connected to the channel but does not flood the shelter, so it is likely to be a steep slope!"
"What the hell is it likely!?" the seal asked eagerly.
"It's probably my special code, I'm not sure!" the white bear hurriedly began to swear words.
"The terrain is higher, the bunkers, the lakes, and the steep slopes...... If you have a satellite map, you can still find it, but now you can only protect yourself first, and then slowly look for it!" said Ivan and suddenly picked up a handful of mud from the ground, and as he continued to move forward, he wiped it on his body indiscriminately:
"If you get caught up, play dead, maybe there's still a chance to live. ”
One by one, one by one
"Ahh
Rarity screams and sprang up from the floor, nearly hitting the ceiling of her office, gasping for breath like a fish out of water.
"It turned out to be a dream, it's terrible!"
She patted her chest, picked up the remaining boiling water from her desk, and took a few breaths.
Outside the dimly lit window, the rain was pouring down, as if there was nothing but a thick curtain of rain. She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and the hour hand told him that it was twelve o'clock in the evening. But for some reason, the female researcher always felt that something was wrong, and the gray night sky outside had no end in sight, as if it was shrouded in an endless fog.
Woowoo——!
At this time, a strong wind blew from the outside, and the window was pushed by the wind, and it slammed against the window frame with a clang.
She hurriedly put down the water glass, walked over and closed the window tightly, and as soon as she returned to her seat, another gust of wind blew the closed window open again. Cool rain sweeps through the window into the office, splashing Rarity.
"When will the damn rain stop!?"
The female researcher got up again and walked to the window, shutting it shut, making sure that the latch was plugged in before walking to the hanger and removing the towel to wipe her face. After wiping the rain off her face, she couldn't help but think of the weird nightmare she had before, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Everything was fine, nothing to worry about. ”
Rarity tries to comfort herself and hums softly to dispel her fears.
Her singing was soft and thin, and the sudden sound in the silent room only added to the terrifying atmosphere. She was frightened to hear it, and immediately stopped singing, and the space was quiet again.
"Am I getting weirder lately?"
She subconsciously touched her forehead, found that her skin was slimy, rubbed her fingers twice, and found that her fingertips were bright red when she put it in front of her eyes. When I got closer, there was a faint fishy smell.
"It's blood!?"
Rarity quickly turns to look at the towel from earlier, and discovers that the towel has been soaked in blood and has turned a dark red, sticking to the hanger like an octopus. The corners hung limply down to the ground, like four sticky tentacles, dripping with blood.
"Ah!!h
The screams pierced the silent office, the silent city, and the silent rainy night.
Rarity turns to look at the mirror on her desk, and is shocked to see that her face is covered in blood, and the next moment, the entire mirror suddenly shatters into countless cracks. These cracks are like scars, constantly spilling out blood, and the self in the mirror image is slowly smiling.
Immediately afterward, large swaths of the skin of the dim walls had fallen off, and cobwebs were covered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. There was a musty smell everywhere, and there seemed to be a fishy stench mixed in with this musty smell—not the smell of blood, but the dirtier, more muddy smell of decay.
"Why is this happening?"
The female researcher swerved backwards in horror until her back hit the door, then spun around and unscrewed the office door like crazy.
But no matter how much she twisted the handle, the door panel remained as if it were sealed. Rarity doesn't have time to think about it, so she bangs her whole body, and after a few 'bangs', the door is still solid as a rock.
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
Rarity gasped in surprise as she looked at the thin but impregnable door panels, and involuntarily took a few steps back.
At this moment, the female researcher suddenly saw a blister on the door, and the dark green blisters were clustered into an ugly and distorted face—as if she was smiling at her, extremely strange, and with extremely vicious ridicule.
“......”
Rarity slumps limply on the floor, staring at the scene in amazement, the muscles of her face twisted. The whole person seemed to have been assimilated by the atmosphere of the office, revealing an equally weird, distorted, and extremely vicious smile.
One by one, one by one
The wind mixed with the rain washed over the forest, and the branches shook like ghost hands, as if they were about to plunge people into an endless hell. Evan and the others flew over in the dense forest shadows, splashing clouds of muddy water, which seemed to be vague ghosts under the dim light.
Bang bang——!
Behind them, an overwhelming sea crusher crushed them like mudslides, flattening all the dense forests they passed. Thankfully, these crazy creatures don't know how to concentrate, they only know how to smash and dash and destroy everything. In the process of frantically eroding the mountain forest, the change of direction slowed down, allowing Ivan and the others to pull a large distance.
"Take a break. ”
Seeing that the fish behind him had been shaken off, Evan slowed down his pace and stopped next to a deciduous tree.
"Okay, okay. ”
"Tired, exhausted!"
"We're so poor at the moment. ”
Everyone was already tired at this time, and as soon as their spirits relaxed, they sat directly on the ground, like dehydrated fish, gulping in on the air.
Toot-toot-toot——!
At this time, the mobile phone rang abruptly again.
White Bear quickly took out his phone from his coat pocket, shielded himself from the wind and rain, and looked at it with an excited expression: "It's Rarity! It's Rarity's phone, she seems to have survived!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly pressed the answer button, and immediately asked after hearing the movement on the other side:
"Rarity, where's the Vault?"
"Directly below the Plantagenet in the southwest corner of Mount Seven, at the end of the coniferous forest......"
Rarity makes this call, as if she had made a special trip to tell them the location of the vault, and immediately halts the communication as soon as she gives out the exact address.
“...... Hung up?"
Bai Xiong looked at the prompt on his mobile phone that the communication was suspended, and the expression on his face was directly stunned, feeling that this was not the other party's style.
"That's not right!"
The seal notices something strange and wrinkles her eyebrows and says, "Normally, wouldn't Rarity be crying for a while and then asking us to rush over and save her as soon as possible?"
"Maybe it's because of the urgency of the situation, I don't have time to say anything else. Erica explained.
"Definitely. The white bear nodded understandingly, feeling that this explanation was not unreasonable.
"Time is running out. Ivan touched the deciduous tree beside him with one hand, and after feeling the vibration of the approaching sea creatures in the distance, he took a deep breath of cold air: "Do we have any other choice?
