Chapter 110: Crazy Old Man, Strange Citizen
The light and melodious singing echoes for a long time, revealing a sense of mystery that makes people yearn for it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Hao's face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, and suddenly slapped Leng Xiaogang's shoulder, the latter was shocked, the intoxication on his face disappeared immediately, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xu Hao beside him blankly, blinked and said, "Head, head, what's the matter?" ”
Xu Hao glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't deliberately listen to those voices, there's nothing good to hear." ”
As he spoke, he slowed down the car, once again carefully perceived the surrounding environment, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Strange, it's not resentful women, they don't have such means, so what is it?" Could it be..."
The melodious singing outside was still ringing, and when Leng Xiaogang listened to it again, he didn't feel as attractive as before, as if he had just had a sweet dream just now, but now he woke up from the dream, and everything was back to normal.
The singing lasted for a few minutes before it faded away, and the world was dead again.
Xu Hao controlled the Volkswagen jeep slowly moving forward with a solemn face, and only saw some rotting and smelly corpse remains along the way, and still couldn't feel the breath of a living person.
Except for the garbage that was blown everywhere by the cold wind, the buildings in this urban area are relatively intact, with no obvious signs of battle, and they are not much different from before the disaster.
After observing all the way, Xu Hao thought about it again and again, and finally decided to stop.
As he continued to go deeper, the sense of foreboding in his heart grew stronger, as if he was walking into a trap that had been laid out long ago. It was uncomfortable for him.
Xu Hao believed that this feeling of his own, or the survival experience of his previous life, reminded him that he could not move forward anymore and had to stop.
Now that the task has started less than an hour, he and Leng Xiaogang have successfully walked more than ten kilometers, but it is because it is so smooth that he feels uneasy.
The unknown is the scariest thing. Xu Hao decided to find out what was going on here as soon as possible before starting again, and he had to find the mysterious existence that was manipulating all this behind his back, and then solve it!
"Get out of the car."
After Xu Hao drove the jeep to a corner on the side of the road, he got out of the car and walked out, and Leng Xiaogang hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked briskly along a commercial street for a few minutes, and found nothing useful, when they were about to climb up a twelve-story commercial building to check the surrounding situation, when they suddenly heard a strange noise.
Xu Hao instantly caught the location of the abnormal noise, it was a store, the originally closed door opened at this time, and an old man in his seventies and eighties, thin as wood, slowly walked out.
He looked very old, wearing a dirty gray coat, his eyes were blank, his face was extremely bad, and the gray hair on his head had fallen out, and at a glance he gave people the feeling that he was about to sink into the ground.
At this time, the old man staggered out of the store, his steps were frivolous and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down; He went to a dumped bin outside the door, crouched down tremblingly, and rummaged through all kinds of rubbish until he found a small piece of moldy and smelly bread, and shoved it into his mouth.
Leng Xiaogang looked at this scene with interest, pointed to the old man with a sick face, and said with a smile: "Boss, that one is dirty and not delicious." ”
Xu Hao ignored Leng Xiaogang, he finally saw a living person, he hoped to get some useful clues from the old man opposite.
So he walked over quickly, and Leng Xiaogang followed behind.
"Old man, excuse me."
Coming behind the old man squatting on the ground, a foul smell came to his face, Xu Hao frowned slightly, and shouted to the old man squatting on the ground in front of him.
The old man did not respond, and after eating the small piece of moldy bread, he continued to rummage through the garbage.
"Old man, are you the only one here? What about your family? Xu Hao continued to ask.
The old man continued to dig through the garbage.
Xu Hao frowned, and his voice became a little louder: "Old man, do you hear me?" ”
The old man still didn't respond.
Leng Xiaogang, who was standing behind, was upset, and said in a rough voice: "The boss called you, answer quickly!" ”
At this time, the old man found a few bones from a lunch box, put them in his mouth and licked them.
"Can't he hear me? Deaf? ”
Xu Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly reached over and patted the old man on the shoulder.
The old man's body trembled suddenly, and then he let out a strange scream, hurriedly turned around, and looked at Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang, with a look of horror on his old face, and he said something gibberishly, which others couldn't understand at all.
Seeing that the old man reacted so strongly, Xu Hao took a few steps back and said with a calm face: "Old man, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to ask you a few questions." ”
The old man opposite was still talking nonsense, as if he couldn't hear what Xu Hao said, his hands were swinging wildly, his expression was faintly a little crazy, and his cloudy pupils were completely out of focus.
Seeing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Hao's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "Not only is he deaf, but there is also something wrong with his brain..." ”
Xu Hao originally thought of a possibility, but after seeing the deaf and stupid old man in front of him at this time, he ruled out that idea again, and his doubts were even more suspicious.
The two ignored the old man, returned to the bottom of the twelve-storey commercial building, walked in and found the staircase where the safe passage was, quickly climbed up to the top floor, forcibly broke through the obstacles, and finally came to the roof of the commercial building.
Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang stood on the edge of the rooftop one after the other, looking around.
Xu Hao's gaze was quickly attracted by a strange landscape in the distance, and after he activated his talent eagle eye to see the scene inside, his face suddenly changed slightly.
……
More than half an hour has passed since the second phase of the mission, and the demon hunters in this area where Xu Hao is located have also rushed out of the pursuit range of mutant demon dogs and began to enter the center of the western district.
This long-distance death chase of nearly ten kilometers led to the death of a total of four witchers in the process, and almost all of the surviving witchers were injured.
Although the mutant demon dogs do not have powerful tricks, once they are entangled, it is extremely difficult to get rid of, and now most of the demon hunters who have successfully escaped from the predicament have consumed most of their vitality and physical strength, and the mood of each demon hunter has become a little heavier, and the pressure has doubled.
It was so difficult at the beginning, and the next test can be imagined.
As a group of demon hunters entered the center of the city one after another, those who were a little careful gradually noticed that something was wrong.
Like Xu Hao, they didn't see a single living person, nor were they attacked by any demonic creatures, and everything seemed unusually calm.
But the crowd did not let this relax.
The demon hunters who can get here alive are basically passable in terms of combat effectiveness and psychological quality. After seeing such a scene, a kind of demon hunter was puzzled, but also secretly vigilant.
After yesterday's series of charges, most of the Demon Hunters realized that this was an increasingly difficult task, and the next test they had to face was naturally more difficult than the mutant demon dog they encountered earlier. This is the normal development trend of an A-class mission.
By now, people will not easily relax their guards just because the environment seems safe.
After Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang, it was not Fan Fan, Xiao Yisheng, Zhang Tiexiong and Liu Shaomei who were the first to enter the center of the city, but Chen Xiaohui and the bald doctor who drove a modified yellow minibus.
On the road ahead, their team was attacked by a total of five mutant demon dogs, three of which were completely aimed at Chen Xiaohui, launching a frantic siege against him.
The other two are constantly looking for opportunities to attack the other witchers in the team.
After successfully killing two boss-level demonic creatures in the first stage of the mission, after a night of adjustment and recovery, Chen Xiaohui's strength has obviously improved a lot.
His Xiao Cheng Realm Agility Level Body Technique has become more and more comfortable and skillful, and in the face of the attack and killing of the three mutated demon dogs, he will not fall behind at all, but will solve the three mutated demon dogs that surround him faster than the other seven demon hunters in the team.
Of course, he also paid a lot of price, the three Yuan Qi in his body were all exhausted, and he had to take Yuan Ling Pill in advance to replenish his Yuan Qi.
In addition to him, as the leader of the team, the bald doctor surnamed Ning is also extraordinary, and now he can perform the various martial arts of the doctor like a cloud, which is obviously much stronger than Shen Jia in the same profession.
Under his protection and assistance, the other team members only suffered some skin injuries, and finally succeeded in killing the other two mutant demon dogs.
While most of the witchers were still entangled in the fierce battle with the mutant demon dogs, they had set out again.
If Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang are excluded, the comprehensive strength of their team is definitely among the top three among all the witcher squads participating in this A-level mission. The strength is even higher than the three-person team of Xiao Yisheng, Zhang Tiexiong and Liu Shaomei.
Successfully broke through the pursuit range of the mutant demon dog, and after Chen Xiaohui and the others entered the center of the city, they also found something abnormal.
The bald doctor surnamed Ning slowed down the group's march, and at the same time instructed the two archers in the team to go one after the other, carefully check the surrounding environment, and make early warnings.
They soon came to the place where Xu Hao and Leng Xiaogang heard the strange singing, but this time, the strange singing did not sound, and there was still dead silence around them.
"It's strange that I've walked so far that I don't even feel a living person," said a male archer of about twenty-five years old, who was standing at the front of the carriage, frowned.
A young female assassin sitting in the parking space next to him said: "I have been here several times before the disaster, the commercial street in the center of the city is very prosperous, and there are 30,000 or 40,000 locals, even if most of them die from the red fog virus, they will never become what they are now." ”
Others also started talking.
The bald doctor surnamed Ning looked out through the front window of the car, his eyebrows were a little uneasy, he always felt that he couldn't keep driving forward like this.
The deeper you go into the city center, the stronger this feeling becomes, as if you are on your way to a point of no return.
He turned to Chen Xiaohui, who had been closing his eyes and meditating, and asked, "Xiaohui, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaohui opened his eyes, looked at the others, shook his head and said: "I haven't been able to sense the slightest strange qi machine aimed at us, but for some reason, after entering here, I always have a faint feeling of being spied on, anyway, it's just not quite right..."
"Hmm." The bald doctor surnamed Ning nodded and said, "My thoughts are the same as Xiaohui's. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, at this time I would rather be slower than make the slightest mistake. Let's find a vantage point and see the situation clearly. ”
Hearing that the two most powerful demon hunters in the team said this, the others naturally did not object, and nodded their heads.
"Uncle Tong, find a suitable place to pull over."
The bald doctor surnamed Ning was beckoning the square-faced middle-aged man driving the small bus to pull over, and the male archer who was standing in front of him to observe the situation suddenly said, "Hey, there seems to be movement ahead!" ”
Hearing him say this, the other seven people in the car were all in a state of panic, and immediately clenched the weapons in their hands.
Chen Xiaohui also seemed to sense something, and said in a deep voice: "There are things approaching us, more than one!" ”
"What?!" Several people asked.
The male archer with the Eagle Eye activated stared at the front, gradually revealing a puzzled expression, and frowned: "It seems to be some ordinary citizens, but their appearance is a little strange... Depend on! How are there so many?! Speaking of the back, his voice revealed a bit of shock.
"No, they don't have a breath of life!"
"Let's go! Make a U-turn! ”
Chen Xiaohui stood up and said.
"Uncle Tong, turn around and go back, the fastest speed!!" Hearing this, the bald doctor surnamed Ning did not hesitate or question at all, and immediately shouted.
"Yes!" The square-faced middle-aged man had a calm face, controlling the modified minibus to reverse quickly and turn the front of the bus.
At the same time, bursts of dense footsteps began to reach the ears of everyone in the car, faster and faster, quickly breaking through the dense fog and red fog, and entering everyone's field of vision.
Too much!
Dense crowds of citizens rushed towards the modified minibus where they were.
If they are normal people, there is nothing to be afraid of.
But they're not!
Every citizen who rushed out of the red mist had a hideous and distorted face, his eyes were as red as blood, the bare skin on his body was swollen and white, without a trace of blood, and in his open mouth, there were even maggots crawling in and out...
"What the hell?!"
Seeing this scene through the crack in the car window, everyone in the minibus was shocked.
"Get out of here now!" The bald doctor surnamed Ning saw that his scalp was numb and shouted loudly.
At this time, their modified minibus had just turned around, and the speed had not yet been fully raised, and those dense and strange citizens had already rushed up!
The swollen hands of the strange citizens who rushed to the front had already touched the back of their modified minibus. )
