Chapter 17: Nervous Breakdown (Asking for Recommendation Votes and Collections)
Was that a dream just now?
Didn't Liu Qiang die?
Busy looking at the people around me.
Wang Tianyu, Shi Lei, Wu Xinyi, Zhao Tian.
With him, there are only five people left.
Liu Qiang is gone.
Xiao Han suddenly clenched his hands, trembled all over, and knelt down.
The astonishing changes that have occurred in succession, the desperate spider tide, this terrifying and weird tentacles and huge flesh, have completely defeated everyone.
All this is far beyond their ability to accept and bear.
Wu Xinyi fell directly to the ground, covering her face with both hands, and muttered: "We will all die, we will all die, no one can escape, no one can escape......
Between my fingers, tears kept flowing down.
Zhao Tian's lips trembled.
He took off his hat, revealing his bald head, and put it back on, and so on.
Obviously, his heart was panicked, irritable, desperate, terrifying, and all kinds of negative emotions had made him almost out of control.
Wang Tianyu and Shi Lei were not much better than them, and their faces were extremely pale.
Even his legs were weak, and he couldn't use his strength, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.
It's like a belief in my heart that the hope of living suddenly collapses, and everyone is swallowed up by a thick sense of despair.
This sense of despair makes them not even want to struggle anymore, and it is a good choice to flee again, or even just think about dying.
"Since they are all going to die, I'd rather die less painfully...... I don't want to be gnawed by countless insects...... I don't want to be swallowed by a monster......"
Wu Xinyi kept muttering.
Suddenly, she raised her head and shouted hoarsely at Xiao Han and Shi Lei: "I beg you, I beg you, you kill me, kill me-I don't want to die so horribly-I'd rather be killed by you-"
Wu Xinyi's hoarse howl made Xiao Han, who was kneeling on the ground, startled, raised his head, and looked at Wu Xinyi in some confusion.
He saw her with tears on her face, and saw the look of fear and distortion on her face.
He understood that her spirit was close to breaking down.
Wang Tianyu and Shi Lei turned pale, bit their lips, and didn't say a word.
Xiao Han slowly stood up.
There was a terrible light in his eyes.
"Since we are going to die sooner or later, what else do we have to be afraid of, ha, haha......"
Xiao Han suddenly laughed, but his face was a little distorted.
He raised his head and stared at the big tree with terrifying creatures from afar, and muttered, "Since you are going to die, I will drag you with me before I die." ”
Then he turned and walked towards the bushes on the side.
Although Wang Tianyu's face was pale, when he saw Xiao Han's actions, he still came back to his senses and said, "Xiao Han, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to burn this monster."
Xiao Han picked those dead shrubs from the bushes and used them as firewood, and he actually set fire to the big tree.
Wang Tianyu's face became even paler, and he hurriedly said, "What are you crazy about?" Let's get out of here quickly, lest we burn ourselves. ”
Xiao Han glanced at him, then looked at the tree hole above the big tree in the distance, and said: "I don't know what kind of monster it is, but it should be inseparable from that big tree, otherwise it would have come out to chase us a long time ago, and see that its speed out of the tree hole is very slow, like a snail, we just need to retreat to a place where its tentacles can't reach." ”
"And, even if you escape...... Where are we fleeing? Xiao Leng smiled: "Can you be sure that other places will be safe?" ”
"Anyway, sooner or later, we will die, and before we die, we must let these monsters know that we are powerful."
Suddenly, the figure around him flashed, and Shi Lei walked over, he didn't say a word, just helped Xiao Han clean up the firewood.
Wang Tianyu also laughed, but there was a little misery in his smile: "Okay, then let's set a fire, Xiao Han is right, this damn world, no matter where you flee, there may be danger, you may die, in this case, what else is there to escape." ”
Before, they had only been attacked by giant rats and rabbit-headed beasts, which made everyone think that although the world was terrifying, these beasts had not yet exceeded the scope of ordinary people's understanding after all.
They thought to themselves that if they were careful, they might not be unable to deal with it.
But after witnessing the spider tide and the horrible chunks of flesh in the tree hole, they understood.
The world is far more terrifying and weird than they imagined.
Not only animals, but also any insect and even any plant can be hidden horror killers, and they can die at any time.
This means that no matter how much they struggle, there is only one outcome in the end, and that is death.
The only difference is the order of death.
In desperation, everyone did not want to run away.
Anyway, whether you escape or not, there is only one way out.
This madness under despair seems to be contagious.
Soon, all five of them were picking up flammable firewood and dead leaves, each with a crazy and twisted smile on their faces.
The five of them threw the piled firewood a few meters away to the base of the big tree.
They didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being attacked by the falling tentacles.
Retreat all out of range of the tentacles, then toss the firewood over.
These withered vine-like tentacles either hang down from the edge of the tree or are wrapped around the stems, motionless.
It seems that they are not really conscious.
In other words, they are close to the zero IQ of plants, and it is impossible to understand the current behavior of Xiao Han and the five people.
They didn't evolve the brain, a thinking organ.
Seeing that the firewood that had been piled up was almost over, Xiao Han bundled a handful of withered grass.
Ignite the handful with a lighter and throw the bundle onto the pile of firewood a few meters away.
Soon, the firewood stacked beneath the roots of the towering trees ignited, and smoke rose from the ground.
As if sensing that something was wrong, the withered vine tentacles that had been hanging without movement immediately moved.
began to writhe, like a snake python.
This towering ancient tree is hollow on the inside, and it has long since died on the outside.
Almost all of its nutrients were absorbed by the parasitic giant flesh in the tree cavity, and its life was already nearing its end.
Even if there is no fire that Xiao Han put today, this towering ancient tree will completely wither and die in less than a year.
And the fleshy foreign body parasitic in this ancient tree, after losing this parasitic host, will also slowly lose its advanced life form as an animal.
Eventually, it will be completely reduced to a two-dimensional life plant one dimension lower, and those tentacles will also be transformed into real dead vines.
At this moment, this pile of firewood was ignited, and the wind helped the fire, and soon it "cracked" and burned, igniting the entire dead tree.
Everyone watched as the flames spread up the towering tree at an extremely fast speed.
