Chapter 20: The Kuroshio
Kuroshio, just listening to the name has an indescribable unknown and mysterious. Humans have an innate fear of darkness, stemming from countless generations of genes and bizarre events passed down from ancestors, and no one can understand why.
Some of the most well-known symptoms, such as deep space phobia and claustrophobia, are all related to darkness that cannot be eradicated.
But at the end of the day, it's all about the oldest human emotions.
Constantin turned to Carl and said, "Boy, I think it's necessary for you to understand what the situation is. ”
Hearing this, Karl's eyes widened slightly, and he swallowed a mouthful of spit, realizing that since waking up in the hallway, he had been encountering something related to the word "unspeakable".
No matter how he escaped, how he solved it, how he took a fork in the road, it was as if a big hand was guiding him back to the main road.
The dark shadow forced him out of school.
The flashlight breaks, forcing him to walk towards the supermarket.
After that, I won't go into details.
"I don't think it's clear what the Kuroshio is, but I have to tell you that the Kuroshio is a disaster for everyone." Constance said solemnly.
At this moment, a razer flashed outside the window, making the atmosphere even more eerie.
"Don't worry, I think I can handle it." Carl barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
"Hmm." The three of them looked at each other and nodded.
"For some survivors who are often active in the city, this is nothing new. Every time the Kuroshio Tide is accompanied by casualties, we still don't know how it works. ”
Karl was now stunned, so he asked, "Can you elaborate on why it killed people?" ”
Constance took a deep breath before he said, "The Kuroshio is actually a kind of bug floating out of the sewers, the size is almost invisible to the naked eye, and it looks like a black-purple mist after forming a cluster, so the survivors call them Kuroshio." ”
"According to their habits, they usually do not float out of the sewers, they are also a kind of ghosts, and the strange thing is that they are not afraid of the sun, but when it rains, they will come out to hunt everything that can be seen."
"The first time the survivors encountered them, they suffered a lot of casualties, at least more than 200 people."
"Do you know how they killed you?" At this point, Constance smiled wryly.
"First, they go through your airways and into your lungs. Then, little by little, they devour your organs, and then your flesh and bones. In the beginning, you will not feel anything, at most you will feel a little soreness, and in the middle stage, you will have breathlessness, nausea and other symptoms, and finally, you can only lie in bed and watch your body appear small holes until your brain dies. ”
"Began a journey from pain to death." After saying that, Constance looked down at the street, "It's just, I don't know when they will come out?" ”
"Gollum......" Carl swallowed, touching his faintly tingling scalp.
"So what should we do now?" He asked uneasily.
Constance smiled back at Resident Evil and said, "Hehe, you don't have to do anything, just stay home and hang yourself." ”
"What?" Carl took a few steps backwards and knocked over a table and chair.
But if you think about it, if there is really no way to escape, will they still be so calm?
"Damn! and deceived the ignorant newcomers. Karl cursed inwardly, his nervous face calming down.
"Huh? The kid has good guts, he didn't frighten like Barry's old boy, hehe, such a big person, he was really scared to pee, it was really funny. Constance said with a raised eyebrow.
"Who's Barry?" Carl asked curiously.
"Barry...... Died before you even came. He sighed, "Although people are a little stupid and a little bold, they still have a very good character, they are never lazy at work, and they love their wives 100 percent." ”
"However, I strayed into the swimming pool during a collection of supplies, and I don't even know how I died." Constan's face was full of pity.
"Boy, don't be like that idiot in Barry, jumping around the city, or you won't know how to die." He reminded.
"Got it, I'm not a Tigger, how can I run around?" Karl said with a nonchalant wave of his hand.
After saying that, he did not continue on this topic, but quietly scanned the ditch covers on the street. However, there doesn't seem to be any movement yet.
There was a thunderstorm outside the window, and the raindrops rustled on the ground, and they all said that the rain would make people feel melancholy, and sure enough, under the shadow of the crisis, everyone in the house was not in a good mood, and their whole faces were calm.
The city has departed from its former prosperity, and there are fewer passers-by on the streets who are driving cars and umbrellas, and the doors of the shops are open, but the salesmen inside are not there, and after just more than 30 days, some seedlings of wild grass have grown on the roadside or at the root of the wall, struggling tenaciously in the rain.
The city's owners, humans, are like rats, escaping from ghosts.
"Whew...... Boy, what did you do before the disaster? Constance asked, taking a drag on his cigarette.
Carl was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he asked, but he replied, "Uh...... Before the disaster, I had been in school and nothing else. ”
"You don't have a part-time job or something?" Constan's expression was full of strangeness.
"Ahem...... Carl coughed awkwardly and said, "Not really, I just play CS:GO, dota, GTA and other games at home except for school." ”
Konstan laughed, "I can't tell, it's a ......"
"Otaku! Hahahaha......"
Carl pretended that nothing happened and touched the back of his head, what's so funny, I also won the first place in Dota.
"Boy, my life is much more interesting and rich than yours." "A week before the disaster, I had a boxing match in Heaton City, and you know how that fight went?" He laughs.
Karl looked at him in surprise, completely unaware that this muscular man who was one meter nine tall was actually a boxer. However, looking at his size, it is clear that this is simply made for boxing.
"Hey...... I'll tell you, I swollen his eye with a punch and shattered his fragile jaw with an uppercut. I remember it was the fastest time I ever raced. Constance recounted his heroic deeds.
At this time, a sentence interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Captain, the Kuroshio has appeared."
Hearing this, both of them changed their faces and stood up.
