Chapter 36: The Baby's Face
The skeleton began to tremble, dancing in a strange posture.
What kind of picture is this?
Shi Yuan was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to relax.
The baby suddenly stopped laughing, stared at Shi Yuan, and said, "Let me replace you." ”
"What?"
Shi Yuan only had time to say these two words, and then he felt a flower in front of him, and the skeleton with the baby's head came to him suddenly, stretched out his arms, and choked his neck.
The power from those hands was extremely powerful, and Shi Yuan couldn't compete with it at all. He suddenly regretted why he didn't put the Strange Force sticker on his hand.
He struggled towards the backpack behind him. The sticker is placed in the outermost pouch, and it is usually easy to get it.
However, the skeleton with the baby's head seemed to sense his movements, and increased its strength again, making Shi Yuan unable to move. He had already leaned against the wall, and the stickers that were easy to take out on a daily basis were now out of reach.
Shi Yuan's body gradually cooled, and he felt that his vitality was losing rapidly.
The feeling of suffocation was like a mountain weighing on his head, and he was in agony.
Shi Yuan's consciousness had begun to blur, and he desperately wanted to think of a countermeasure, but he couldn't come up with anything.
In his mind, there are only two words right now.
Resurrection.
Teleportation.
If you do nothing and wait for death to come, you can be "resurrected" and return to the place you had half an hour ago, and your vitality will be fully restored.
If teleportation is used, then he can choose the target location autonomously, but the number of life saves will be consumed once, which is theoretically equivalent to dying once.
Neither seems to be a good choice, and both have lost a life.
But what if something turns around?
The ghost in front of him didn't suddenly pierce his body with his arm, nor did he explode to death without realizing it, maybe it would suddenly disappear or give up killing.
If that were the case, he wouldn't need to lose a life.
It is precisely because of this expectation that Shi Yuan did not use teleportation.
If he can, he wants to save as many lives as he can. This dark world is too dangerous, and compared to the situation here, the previous missions are simply petty fights.
Shi Yuan desperately wanted to breathe, but he couldn't do it at all. He felt his face swell, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of his sockets.
"Let me take your place."
The baby's face turned extremely hideous, revealing a terrifying grit of teeth.
Shi Yuan finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the strength in his body completely disappeared.
The bony hands were off his neck, but he also collapsed to the ground, his eyes still unwillingly looking at the baby's face.
He saw that the baby's face had changed and had become what he was.
Darkness came upon him like a raging tide, drowning him.
He didn't feel the cold. He couldn't feel anything.
☆
The sun did not rise, and all the electrical appliances were paralyzed. The world of Ming was plunged into darkness.
When news of humanity's imminent extinction first appeared on the Internet, almost no one took it seriously, just as a joke or a prank by a bored person. But now, it was more than nine o'clock in the morning, but there was no sunshine, and even the most optimistic people were in a panic.
People are desperate to find a plausible explanation, but the end result is an escalating fear.
"Why is this happening? Could it be that Zhen Xu said ...... It's all true? ”
I don't know how long it took, Bai Qi'an was still looking at Dongfang from the top of the mountain, and the heavy black pressure on his heart made him almost unable to breathe.
He froze in place, oblivious to everything around him. He couldn't hear anything, only the endless darkness in the sky in the distance in front of him.
He didn't hear the sound of a man's head falling to the ground, he didn't hear the screams of the tall and thin man before he died, or the footsteps of someone running briskly down the hill.
Suddenly, he felt someone nudge him from behind. He looked back sharply.
It's Zhen Xu.
Bai Qi'an didn't blame Zhen Xu for almost knocking him down, but asked anxiously, "...... you What you just said can't be true, right? ”
"Of course it's true!" Zhen Xu's face was covered with cold sweat, and he said uneasily, "Actually, I didn't completely believe it originally, but now...... Now I can't believe it or not! ”
"What the hell is going on? You tell me! Bai Qi'an grabbed Zhen Xu's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "What do you know?" Say it quickly! Why is it night here? Why is the sun not rising? ”
Zhen Xu pulled Bai Qi'an's hand aside fiercely and shouted loudly: "How do I know!" I've only heard a little bit about the end of the world, but I don't know why humanity is going extinct! Besides, didn't you just disbelieve? Why are you asking me now? ”
"Is now the time to be discouraged?" Bai Qi'an also shouted without concessions, "If we can't figure out the reason, we all have to die!" ”
"Do you think I want to die?"
Zhen Xu gasped heavily, his emotions became extremely excited, and his brain was also chaotic.
Bai Qi'an's face was like white paper, he stood aside in despair, and whispered to himself: "What should I do? What exactly will happen? Where are we fleeing? ”
Zhen Xu turned his head around in a panic to check the situation around him.
None of the others present were able to remain calm, either escaping down the mountain like Zhao Yixin, or standing in place, looking at the black canopy with a frightened face.
Looking at the sluggish faces, Zhen Xu felt that none of them seemed to be living people, but walking corpses.
Fear suddenly exploded, Zhen Xu suddenly let out a strange scream, and then ran down the mountain like crazy.
"Hey! Zhen Xu! Where are you going? ”
Bai Qi'an shouted in a panic.
Zhen Xu did not answer.
Seeing Zhen Xu's figure disappear in the darkness, Bai Qi'an suddenly felt that he was the only one left between heaven and earth.
It was a feeling of emptiness in his heart, and it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
But he didn't care about being comfortable at all now, he just wanted to run for his life.
Escape? Why run for your life? What to dodge from? Where to flee?
Bai Qi'an's eyes widened in panic, but he still couldn't see anything clearly.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the dark sky.
There, it was supposed to be the place where the sun rose.
Suddenly, he felt someone nudge him from behind. His mind moved, and he immediately turned his head to look.
It's Zhen Xu.
"You...... How did you get back? ”
Bai Qi'an stumbled and said.
What made him feel strange was that there was no fear or panic on Zhen Xu's face. There was even a hint of joy and excitement on his face.
