Chapter 15: There Are Monsters!
"Back?!"
When the voice came out, Fang Yuan and Zhou Che, who were distracted, suddenly raised their heads, a little surprised.
According to what they thought in their hearts, if everything was normal, their time to find food would be at least more than an hour and a half, after all, every time they went out, they had to solve the daily amount of more than a dozen people, an hour and a half, which was still a case of good luck, if it was bad luck and did not find anything, those two hours were indispensable.
Of course, it is not excluded that they were lucky enough to find a small warehouse-like place, and if that is the case, it will be excellent news for them as well...
It's just that when Fang Yuan looked up, his brows were furrowed, and his heart tightened.
"What's going on?!"
On the ruins in the distance, there were indeed a few familiar figures, running towards this side, as the distance got closer and closer, they finally saw that those were the people who went out to forage not long ago, the original five people, but now only three people have returned, Wang Yu and another young man named Zheng Yiming, but they have not seen their figures.
If that's all it takes, maybe there's a little problem left behind, and there's no need to worry, but now, what really surprised them was that the three people who came back rushed over extremely fast, and there was some indescribable awkwardness in their movements, it didn't seem to be the excitement of finding something good, but a feeling of panic to the extreme, so that they were at a loss.
Their mouths seemed to be constantly calling, their footsteps seemed extremely flustered, on the uneven ruins, they almost fell several times, but it seemed that they couldn't even care about this, and there was only one goal, which was to return here!
Together, these easily gave birth to an idea in Zhou Che's mind: they must have encountered something terrifying!
After the disaster, everything he experienced made him feel that there were some more unknown horrors in this world, and later some things encountered when he went out to find food made this idea in his heart more and more certain, which made his nerves tense all the time, for fear that if he was not careful, he would be attacked by those things.
But looking at the situation now, I'm afraid those things are about to appear!
Although he didn't know the power of those things, the corpses he saw on the first day could already tell some questions, and when the time came...
And just when Zhou Che was in a cold sweat, some other people around him also noticed that something was wrong, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Where's their backpack?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone noticed that the backpacks on the backs of these three people that were originally modified for food had all disappeared at the moment, which made them look even more weird.
"Could it be that we found a place with a lot of food and asked us to go together..."
"It's not like..."
“...”
While everyone in the store was nervously guessing about the situation, the three of them did not slow down at all, but got faster and faster, and soon returned to the clothing store, pushed the door in...
"Whew... Whew..."
Back in the store, turned around and closed the door, one of them took the lock on the side and inserted it with a "clang", closed the door tightly, and then directly bent over and supported his legs and began to gasp violently, so that they had no chance to speak at all, looking at the three people who were about to run out of breath, almost all of them frowned, but they didn't speak for a while.
In the midst of the breath, their bodies were all soaked with sweat, they were still trembling at the moment, and there was an indescribable look of horror on their faces, several people in the store waited, and finally, half a minute passed, and one of them raised his head, gasping for breath, and said something that made everyone tremble.
"There's... There are monsters! Run..."
Rumble!
Like a thunderclap resounding through the heavens and the earth, this sentence directly made the people around him couldn't help but tremble, and there seemed to be a roaring sound echoing in their heads, and it seemed to be unbelievable, after a moment of death-like silence, Jiang Tao stared at his eyes, and asked with some trembling: "You... What did you say?! ”
"I said... There are monsters! We met monsters outside! The man's breathing still did not calm down, and his eyes were full of horror, as if the impact of the scene he had just seen on them was too great, and he could not recover at all for a while.
After he spoke again to confirm, everyone's bodies stiffened almost instantly.
If someone tells them that there are monsters in the world in normal times, or even a few days ago, they will definitely scoff at it, thinking that the person must be crazy, monsters have been circulating since ancient times, but in the end, as people's cognition gradually becomes widespread, those things have been known to people, but they are just misunderstandings caused by too little cognition.
Up to now, although there are still a large number of species in the world that have not been discovered, even if they see them now, they will no longer feel strange, at most they are just curious.
But now, after this monster was spoken, no one thought of it, no one thought of the monster in his mouth as those strange species that had not yet been discovered, and almost everyone's mind was the kind of ferocious and powerful creature in science fiction movies, something that was basically impossible to appear on the earth!
Coupled with the reactions of these three people, they were also more sure of what they were thinking.
In the past few days, because of the weirdness around them, they have already had the idea that there are monsters around them, but no matter how weird, they always feel a little absurd in their hearts, so they are always comforting themselves, maybe because of the nervous tension caused by the surrounding environment, everything is just their own thoughts...
But now, Fang Yuan and the others were silent, and there was not much doubt in their hearts about his monster, Zhou Che was even more so, his breath was short, and when he heard the word monster, a lot of pictures instantly appeared in his mind.
Except for Fang Yuan, who had gone out to look for food, Jiang Tao and Zhou Che, the other women had been staying here, although they felt wrong, they had never been in contact with the outside world, so although they were also frightened by that person's words, they were more confused.
Cheng Yuanyuan stepped forward, frowned and asked, "Monster? What monster?! What the hell are you talking about, Wang Yu and the other person, why haven't they come back yet? ”
She didn't care that the three people's breathing had not calmed down, and she stepped forward and asked directly, but her tone was not the slightest politeness, as if she was a reproach to her subordinates, this woman had long been used to talking like this, and she couldn't change it at all for a while.
It's just that now, the three of them didn't have the heart to bother with her, their breathing calmed down a little, and just as they were about to speak, Fang Yuan gently patted them on the shoulder.
"Brother, don't worry, we must make things clear before we can make the next plan, about the monster, what is going on..."Fang Yuan's tone was a little calm, but everyone could feel a kind of depression under this calm, and they could feel that in his heart, in fact, he was also suppressing an emotion, and he couldn't help but not burst out.
Nodding, one of them took a deep breath and calmed down for half a minute before slowly speaking.
"We were looking for food this time, and after we went out, we went to the center of Pearl Plaza, thinking that the closer we got to the center, the more we might eat..."
"We walked a long way, but we still didn't find anything to eat, and I don't know when it started, there were some strange screams, at first we thought it was just rats, and we didn't pay much attention to it, so we continued to look for it, but then we suddenly saw some huge rats, eating the corpses of some dead people, and then these big rats rushed towards us..."
"Zheng Yiming ran a little slower, and was pounced on the ground by those mice, Wang Yu let us go first, and ran to pull Zheng Yiming by himself, now... I don't know how..."
When he said this, his body was trembling slightly, he spoke very quickly, and even seemed a little confused because of nervousness, and he didn't understand a lot of things, but the people present basically understood something.
Wang Yu and the others went out to look for food and encountered some huge rats, which were extremely large and could eat people!
"How... How is it possible, you are lying! A trace of panic flashed in Cheng Yuanyuan's eyes, obviously frightened by this statement, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the three people in front of her, and said viciously: "You must be lying, is there some ulterior secret that we are afraid of being known, so what kind of huge rats are being made up here?!" ”
"Yes, where are there big rats, besides, what are the rats afraid of, you must be hiding something..."This time, even the clerk who originally had some friction with Cheng Yuanyuan opened his mouth to respond, obviously not believing his statement, or unwilling to believe that it would be more appropriate...
"That's it!" Fang Yuan's brows were furrowed deeply, his face was solemn like never before, not only him, but also several other people in Fang Yuan's group, with the same ugly face, for the monster, although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, he was still powerless to refute.
On the first day when they went out to look for food, they saw those corpses, and they already noticed that something was wrong, the appearance of those corpses was obviously not naturally formed, there was definitely something to bite and gnaw on, but at that time, although they were frightened, they did not see anything, they could only doubt in their hearts.
And now, hearing them talk about monsters with their own ears, their first reaction is not how absurd this statement is, but the surroundings... Monsters have really appeared!
Zhou Che on the side, his eyes were blank, recalling some pictures from a few days ago, his face began to turn a little pale, and Jiang Tao and the others did the same.
Seeing their faces, Cheng Yuanyuan suddenly quieted down, as if she also realized something, her face changed suddenly, and she turned her head to look at Fang Yuan suddenly.
"You... What's wrong with you guys? It's just a joke, it's just a lie, they lie, why are you so serious... Fang Yuan, you can say something! Cheng Yuanyuan's face was anxious, looking at the few people with ugly faces and serious thoughts, she suddenly panicked...
