089 No Way Out-2
During the walk, Wang Chen felt more and more like another world, these strains were not static, the more he walked to the center of the room, the higher the density and brightness of the strains, and the more blurred the corpses at the top, almost decomposed by the strains into real meat paste, only the hardest bones remained at the bottom of the strain, as proof of the strain's nutritional source.
This kind of scenery is terrifying, but the psychological pressure on Wang Chen is actually not great, he cares more about the pale pink balls that grow on the top of the strain, as the density of the strain increases, the volume of the ball also begins to increase, and it is obviously much more mature than the strain he just picked. Wang Chen knows some basic knowledge of viruses, and he doesn't have much time to occupy satellite channels to check relevant information, after all, it is related to his own lifespan, he can't help but care, fungi and anything are really ignorant, probably know that they are multicellular organisms, even then he can see that these balls that have swelled to almost overwhelm the strain cluster and produced pale white strips, should be about to mature.
What will happen to this kind of thing after it matures, Wang Chen has no way to deduce, one thing is certain, since it grew up from the pile of zombies, it will definitely not have a good effect on the living, so Wang Chen feels that it is better for him to leave quickly on the premise of ensuring safety.
As soon as he bypassed a zombie mound, Wang Chen suddenly saw a person appear next to the pillar in front of him! Of course, with the experience of the statue of the deputy leader just now, his heartbeat was only slightly faster this time, and he did not overreact, in order not to make too much noise to attract the big leeche, Wang Chen put away the shotgun, pulled out the military spur and the spare tactical flashlight, and slowly moved towards the other party.
Coming closer, Wang Chen could be sure that this thing was obviously not a statue, it should be a corpse, it stood still, its face was pale and its mouth was slightly open, its eyes were open but blank, and there were strips of fungal tissue on its exposed skin all over its body, and it seemed that it would not be long before this corpse would be digested by those blue-pink strains.
Continuing to walk around the corpses, the zombie mound decreased significantly, but the number of similar corpses began to increase, and the situation was basically similar, standing still and covered with a fungal tissue substance, like a large mushroom in the shape of a human figure. Wang Chen was a little cautious at first, seeing that the exit of the hall was in sight, it was an upward slope, and these humanoid mushrooms did not react to sound and light, his pace couldn't help but speed up, and after a few minutes, Wang Chen was already standing on the slope, and after a few more steps, he could turn around and go to the upper layer of the road.
At this moment, Wang Chen's footsteps stopped, he turned around, illuminated about a hundred and ten corpses in front of him with a flashlight, hesitated for a few seconds, and walked down the slope again, those corpses piled up into mounds, Wang Chen thought that he couldn't distinguish them one by one, but it didn't take long to look at the more than 100 corpses one by one, what if, what if, what if Dad was among these corpses?
It's not enough to just think about running for your life.
With such a thought, Wang Chen patiently began to distinguish the appearance of the corpse, and it was also a coincidence that he saw that more than 80 dead people were not his father, but he met an acquaintance.
Liu Xiaokui.
At the beginning, the guy who claimed to be a member of the National People's Congress at the end of Aijian's first and last station, tried to snatch Wang Chen's satellite phone, bullied the soft and feared the hard face of the gun, and finally stood on the top of the bus to ask for help.
At this moment, he has long lost the disgusting face he had at the beginning, and the whole person is a little emaciated, but his appearance is still so distinctive, a pair of toad eyes are half-open, and the broom eyebrows are missing for some reason, and even the skin there is gone, leaving only a scar that has not yet grown, anyway, this old boy should have survived the zombie tide at the first and last stations, but I don't know why he fell here and became food for unknown strains.
Wang Chen shone a flashlight on his old acquaintance, the joy of reunion after a long absence was definitely gone, and he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart, just as he was about to take a look at the next corpse, Liu Xiaokui, who was almost covered with fungal tissue, suddenly let out a sigh?!
For a moment, Wang Chen thought that his gas mask had failed, and he inhaled strange gases and hallucinated? Immediately, when Liu Xiaokui inhaled again slowly and with difficulty, Wang Chen knew that this was not an illusion, and even Liu Xiaokui was not a zombie now, because zombies can't breathe, and Liu Xiaokui's ability to breathe proves that he is still alive!
Determining this, Wang Chen hurriedly took a look at the rest of the 'corpses', unfortunately, there was no figure of his father Wang Yefei, not even a suspicious appearance, he came to Liu Xiaokui again, at this time Liu Xiaokui was still standing in place, but there was no breathing action that was obviously a living person just now.
Wang Chen thought about it, continued to focus the flashlight on Liu Xiaokui's face, and reached out to touch Liu Xiaokui's pulse, and found that his heartbeat was unusually slow and very weak, at most four or five times a minute, if you don't pay attention, you will definitely think that this person in front of you is a completely dead person, sleeping? Hibernation? Parasitism? Just as Wang Chen couldn't figure out the situation, Liu Xiaokui once again began to breathe extremely hard and slowly.
Looking at the breath that Liu Xiaokui took a full half a minute to complete, Wang Chen knew that his previous inference was correct, and he tried to remove the flashlight that illuminated Liu Xiaokui's face, and sure enough, Liu Xiaokui's breathing stopped, and then entered a state of 'suspended animation'.
The things encountered today, one is more strange than the other, his ability is limited, since he can't find his father, it's useless to stay here and watch Liu Xiaokui breathe slowly like a dummy, it is estimated that the possibility of him being alive is also very small, and sooner or later he will be eaten and wiped clean by the fungus, Wang Chen simply waved his hand, and the military thorn directly poked into Liu Xiaokui's eye socket and gave him a ride.
The army stabbed into the brain, and Liu Xiaokui, who was originally no different from the corpse, twitched slightly, lowered his head as Wang Chen pulled out the military thorn, and did not move.
To death, the poor guy was still immobilized to the ground by the strain.
General Wang Chen stabbed Liu Xiaokui and rubbed it back into the holster, took the shotgun and walked back to the slope, just took two steps up the steps, he felt that something seemed to be wrong behind him, there was a sparse and sparse sound, and he turned back suddenly, Wang Chen just saw these guys who were dead and alive and didn't know that they were besieged by strains and would sooner or later become meat mud and raised their heads together, and a pair of pale and cloudy eyes that didn't even have pupils looked at him together!
obviously didn't have eyes, and even these guys were probably blind, but they just made the impossible move of 'staring' Wang Chen!
This scene is so terrifying! Wang Chen's first reaction was to shoot! Immediately, he forcibly suppressed the urge to fire, just held the gun and fired back and forth with a flashlight, and secretly swore in his heart that as long as one guy could break free from the entanglement of the strain and fight to attract a big leech, he would have to bombard it with a transparent hole first!
At this moment, a vague muffled sound entered the hall, and then, wisps of dust and ash fell from the top of the hall with a slight tremor, this muffled sound not only Wang Chen heard very clearly, but also attracted those strange 'living people' who opened their eyes and stared at Wang Chen, their actions were still very consistent, slowly and with difficulty they turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
