Chapter 11: Dead End
But in the absence of a second option, Neo can only continue with his own return plan, at least, there is no better idea now.
"If I knew earlier, I should have left a communication device by my side, at least I could report the strange situation I encountered to the boss. Even if the boss can't come, give some constructive advice, it will be a lot of benefits! ”
Neo begins to regret his lack of consideration.
It stands to reason that the Boss should have returned to the place where he was told to stand by ten minutes ago, and it was only natural to find the blood stains in the grass when he found that he was missing.
However, there is still no call from the surrounding area for the boss to find himself, which is very unreasonable.
With the wisdom of the boss, it should be a piece of cake to find the entrance that you have sealed!
"Could it be that the boss encountered something halfway through, so that he was delayed!"
If that's the case, you'll be in trouble.
In other words, in a short period of time, he will not get Yunqi's wings.
Because of his past tragic gangster experience, Neo has slowly developed a habit - to be prepared for the worst!
Now, he has to rely on himself.
As he walked, Neo had to stop himself, because, in front of him, there was a rock wall blocking his way.
Reached a dead end! And it's a strange dead end!
Seeing the blood stains on the ground that had abruptly stopped, and the walls that suddenly appeared, Neo only felt a dizziness in his brain!
Sure enough, this is not the road you have walked at all!
Fortunately, Neo remembered the dogma of "don't be surprised" taught by Yun Qi, and immediately put the torch close to the ground.
There, the blood did not stop in the corner, as he had previously thought.
Instead, he paused slightly in the corner of the wall, in a ninety-degree vertical line. Soar up the wall.
The blood stain actually appeared on the wall in front of him, although the trace was very faint due to gravity, otherwise Neo would not have ignored its existence at the beginning.
What's even weirder is that the blood stains aren't just on the floor and walls. If you have a discerning eye, you will never ignore the bloodstains on the ceiling.
How can it be! Is it the guy who dragged that madman away and flew off the wall like Spider-Man?
The madman had a yellow face and thin muscles from a long period of malnutrition, but dragging his body up the vertical wall and the ceiling parallel to the ground was not something that could be done by man.
Realizing this, Neo's sweat had penetrated his underwear, in this cold main environment. It was very uncomfortable. Fear spread like a disease through Neo's body, eventually occupying the commanding heights of his thoughts!
To add insult to injury, something seemed to move at the edge of the area with limited torch illumination.
The information fed back from this small visual limit made the 1.5 million hairs on Neo's body rise like electrodes!
"Damn, how could this be!" Neo never imagined that he would lead himself into unimaginable danger!
For a brief moment, Neo recognized that it was a human-like palm. It's just blood-red, hideous muscles exposed to the air at a glance.
That hand, there is no skin!
It's not like Neo hasn't seen a licker. In his three-month life as an outlaw, he had seen Yun Qi torture and kill creepy lickers into a pile of flesh and blood more than once.
Although from the perspective of an onlooker, the Licker is nothing outstanding, except that it is skinless and hideous, slightly faster than a leopard, and more powerful than a Las Vegas bear.
Koneo understands that the weakness of the licker is the terror of the corresponding boss!
When facing a biochemical creation that is not inferior to himself in attributes, but has an innate combat weapon. Neo can't face it as calmly as Yun Qi.
Fear crept up in Neo's mind, but it didn't hold all his sanity, at least, he still knew how to pull out the M9 pistol and not forget to open the safety bolt on it.
Calm down! It is the most basic quality of being a strong person.
Own it. It doesn't mean that you are strong, but if you don't, then you have no ability and can't fully exert it.
However, Neo seriously doubts that the M9, the standard pistol of the American army, can cause fatal damage to the licker.
But something strange happened.
The licker, hidden in the darkness, did not attack the humans like Neo had ever seen, but disappeared into the darkness as if it had never appeared.
What's going on? Why do lickers with strong aggression actively choose to avoid fighting? Why did he follow the bloodstains he had walked through, but he had never seen a place before.
Could it be that there are really ghosts in this world, and there are ghosts that only supernatural novels can have? Or is it that the space here can change at any time, causing the road to deviate greatly from what you have walked?
Either way, it doesn't sound reliable.
Neo had no choice but to retreat.
However, as soon as he walked out, he saw that the main road behind him was occupied by a licker!
It turned out that the elusive licker didn't leave there.
It snarled at a startled Neo, its voice low and its long tongue licking through the air, full of threat.
Neo instinctively took a step back, the muzzle of the M9 automatic pistol aimed at the licker's head, and he pulled the trigger whenever he needed to.
As for whether it can have the effect of self-defense, that is not something that Neo has to consider at this stage.
As Neo took a step back, the violent licker suddenly calmed down, like a tiger tamed in the circus, against his head, the muscles of his limbs slowly retreated, and the original saber-rattling atmosphere was suddenly diluted a lot.
Neo was suspicious.
It's not like the calm before the storm, and there's no need for the Licker to do any tricks to lure the enemy.
Previous experience had taught Neo that the licker's disgusting brain, exposed to the air, would never contrigue any intrigues.
"Isn't it here to kill me and then tear my muscles and internal organs alive?"
Neo tentatively took another half step back, and sure enough, the silenced licker suddenly lost the mood to shake his head.
"Sure enough, it was meant not to let me leave."
In desperation, Neo had no choice but to retreat to a dead end, at least without being fully sure that he would take out a licker.
In his spare time, Neo suddenly remembered that the dead end in front of him was a bit abrupt, and it was naturally impossible to waste the space and place here for no reason to create a dead end that was useless to design a building like an ancient castle that transcended the signs of the times in modern society.
An idea gradually became clear in Neo's mind: "Perhaps, there is an article on this wall. (To be continued.) )
