Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fox

Mingmei sat alone in the car, listening to the music playing on the stereo with her eyes closed, drowsy.

She couldn't see at this moment, it was dark in front of her anyway, and there was no difference between her eyes open and her eyes closed.

The air conditioner was on in the car, and the temperature was just right. The music playing in the car was a symphony, the complete kind. Mingmei vaguely knew that this was a famous song, but this endless elegant art had been ringing for more than an hour, and she really couldn't appreciate it, and after nodding her head like a chicken pecking rice for a while, she finally tilted her head and fell asleep completely.

Damn, Xia Beifeng, you are a single and unemployed little rascal, you have nothing to listen to this kind of thing, what are you trying to do!

It was her last thought before she fell into a deep sleep.

The airtightness of the off-road vehicle is actually quite good, if Shen Luotian didn't leave a window crack for Mingmei before they left, maybe the news headline tomorrow morning would be "Be vigilant!" A young woman with a disability was locked alone in a car and suffocated! Stories like that.

The crack in the window was only two fingers wide, and the slow night breeze carried the mist down the crack into the car.

The white mist seemed to have a life of its own, and after falling down the crack in the window, it gathered around Mingguang little by little. Looking in the rearview mirror, surrounded by mist, she looks like a sleeping goblin, beautiful and a little fairy, lazy and lazy I don't know when I will wake up.

When Mingmei's body was completely surrounded by the white mist, she opened her mouth and let out a few broken dreams, her arms curled into a ball, and her brow began to furrow tightly.

As if in a nightmare, and as if cold, a thin layer of goosebumps emerged from her bare arms.

"Don't come here......" she spat out these three words vaguely, leaving a line of transparent tears in the corners of her eyes.

*********************************************

"Why would I encounter such a thing?" Shen Luotian waved the katana in his hand. Sweep away the obstacles that block the road, "First there is an unknown gang, and then there are zombies besieging the city, what is it now, Pansi Cave?" ”

He stomped his foot, shook off the thick layer of cobwebs on his pants, and looked at the "road" in front of him with white cobwebs like a toothache. sighed.

"Isn't there a Zixia Fairy for a while, Bai Jingjing or something! Please, my favorite is Lori! ”

He muttered to himself a strange language that no one listened to or understood, and walked forward with difficulty through the thick cobwebs and broken spider corpses under his feet.

"Zixia Fairy is okay, spider spirit or something is also a beauty, don't give me a big man at the end...... Where did you run away with the surname Song, were you eaten by a mother spider? ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of a Song Minghui with missing arms and legs wrapped in a huge spider web. While struggling peacefully, he screamed hoarsely for help, while beside him, three huge spiders gathered, staring at the prey in the web, as if ready to pounce on it for a good meal at any moment.

The imaginary picture was too real and bloody, so Shen Luotian couldn't help but stop. He looked around a little nervously, carefully examined the cobwebs around him, and made sure that there was no half-dead Song Minghui hiding behind the layers of cobwebs. looked at him pleadingly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with me. What a cranky thought. He smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and walked on.

After a few minutes, he stopped again, staring down at something beneath his feet, with a slightly puzzled expression.

It was a spider corpse that had been trampled flat. The spider was about the size of a child's fist, green bodily fluids pouring out of its exploding belly. Soaking a patch of ground around it.

The wet cobwebs tangled up and wrapped around its corpse, making it look unscary and dirty.

And on its flat belly, there are a few clear sole lines. It was always reminding Shen Luotian that he had just been to this place once.

Am I lost again?

Shen Luotian squatted and poked the spider corpse on the ground a few times with the tip of the knife, and then stared at the pale green liquid on the tip of the knife, thinking sadly.

This is the first time this evening, and I really don't like this kind of thing with a lot of legs, okay?

The picture of Song Minghui trapped in a spider's web once again appeared in his mind persistently.

Only this time, the man who was entangled in the cobwebs became himself.

Even the sticky touch of spider silk on his arm constantly reminded him that getting lost in this place could only end up being a supper for the spiders.

He crouched down in front of the spider's corpse for a moment, then sat down on the ground and pulled out his cigarette case.

Anyway, smoking a cigarette is talking.

He thought so. I took out the lighter, lit a cigarette and bit it in my mouth.

Surrounded by spider webs of different sizes but not much different shapes, layer by layer, they are staggered, and they make a small space that makes people feel a little comfortable in the terrifying atmosphere.

Humid air, small spaces, endless repetition.

Shen Luotian bit his cigarette and let the ash slowly fall to the ground, and his brain began to feel a little heavy.

When there was only a small half of the cigarette in his mouth, a breeze passed through the dense cobwebs, bringing up a shrill wind full of horror movie effects, and finally it was difficult to circle around him before disappearing completely.

A handful of soot was carried away by this breeze from his original free-fall trajectory, flickering with a dim red light, and landed on the back of Shen Luotian's hand.

Shen Luotian, who was about to fall asleep sitting there, was burned by the cigarette ash, and suddenly opened his eyes again.

"Hmm......" he said, looking around him.

There were still large white cobwebs, surrounding him, and there were many small black dots hidden between the cobwebs, constantly moving their bodies and working hard.

Their figures are blocked by cobwebs, and they can't be seen without looking closely. But if you really look closely, you will find that there are a lot of these things!

He frowned and rubbed his eyes, and carefully looked at the cobwebs around him.

However, with more than half a cigarette, the cobwebs around him seemed to be several layers thicker, and the path around him became narrower and narrower.

His eyes widened sharply, and he was surprised, "Huh? "Yes. Quickly stood up.

"I see." He whispered to himself and took a hard puff on his cigarette.

The spicy smoke poured into his lungs, and the smell of nicotine swirled around his lungs, choking him up.

This kind of choking on cigarettes is still quite painful.

With the exception of junior high school students who try smoking for the first time in a corner for some purpose, few people can experience this feeling of choking people a second or third time.

It's even less common to deliberately choke yourself like this.

This is simply a kind of non-immortal behavior that can be described simply by the word "death".

I haven't felt this pain since my thirteenth birthday, it's so embarrassing!

Shen Luotian had tears on his eyelashes and looked down at the cigarette butt in his hand. Sad thoughts.

He struggled to catch his breath and raised his hand to extinguish the cigarette butt on his arm.

When the burning cigarette butt comes into contact with the skin, it makes a small cracking sound, "stinging, stinging", and it hurts just to listen to it.

Shen Luotian squinted his eyes and stared for a while, making sure that the temperature on the cigarette butt had gradually decreased, let go of his hand, and flicked the cigarette butt away.

He was left with a charred black burn on his arm, and the black wound was tinged with grayish-white soot. The smell of burnt flesh and nicotine mixed together, wafting from the wound little by little.

"I'm so fucking good at myself." Shen Luotian stared at the wound. raised his eyebrows: "If someone is as ruthless as me, it is estimated that the zombie siege will not appear tonight." ”

He imagined for a moment how Xia Beifeng would stop himself from falling asleep if he really found out the key to this matter, and laughed out loud when he thought about it.

"I guess I'll be more ruthless than me, maybe I'll just stab myself with a knife."

Shen Luotian whispered to himself and picked up the knife on the ground. I jumped on the spot twice.

"Hey! Is there anyone here? ”

He shouted loudly at the dense cobwebs in front of him: "If there is someone, answer it, if there is a girl, come to the first ****** to help me refresh myself!" ”

His voice traveled far through the layers of cobwebs, and finally turned back to his own ears, probably because of too many detours. It sounds a little weird.

"Man, no." A faint voice came from an unknown direction: "There is one fox." ”

Shen Luotian just shouted that sentence just to give himself a boost and make a joke, but he didn't expect to get an answer at all. Hearing this voice at this time, he was startled first, and subconsciously took half a step back.

"Who are you? Leuko? He looked around vigilantly, clenched the knife in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?" ”

"I'm right under your feet." That voice sounded once, and it sounded even smaller than the last time, as if there was something in his mouth, indistinct, and Shen Luotian couldn't hear it clearly at all.

"What did you say?" He asked with a frown.

"Again, louder, I didn't hear clearly."

"I say......" The owner of the voice sounded as if he was in great pain, and he was a little out of tune when he spoke. After saying the first two words in a very thin tone, it suddenly increased its volume, raised its tone, and shouted sharply, "You little bastard stepped on my tail, you know?" Hurry up and get your feet off the way! ”

Shen Luotian lowered his head slightly and glanced at his feet.

He was stepping on a white cobweb, soft to the touch, and on closer inspection, it seemed that something fluffy was indeed wriggling under the thick cobweb.

He subconsciously ran over it twice.

"You little ......" Bai Su's voice sounded like it was on the verge of collapse: "You step on it again." ”

So he stepped on it again.

Bai Su finally stopped speaking, and he didn't know if he fainted.

"Why are you here?" Shen Luotian asked curiously while squatting down and tearing the spider webs covering Bai Su's body.

"I don't know." Bai Su replied to his words angrily, and seemed to be still haunted by the fact that he had just been stepped on by his tail, "Lao Tzu is lost, and after two laps here, he is sleepy unconsciously." Then I found a place to take a nap, and then you woke up. That's right, you stepped on me when you walked past here, and then you found out...... What the hell is this? ”

"Dozed?" Shen Luotian chuckled briefly: "Do you know how long you have been asleep?" ”

"I don't know, ten minutes? Or fifteen minutes? Bai Su said confusedly: "I always feel like I had a very bad dream, it was when I was a child, when I was an ordinary fox." Not a very good memory, and I can't remember it now. It shouldn't be a long time anyway......"

Shen Luotian patiently uncovered the layers of spider webs covering its body without saying a word.

As if sensing the solemnity of the atmosphere, Bai Su once again asked without confidence: "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

"From the time you scratched my brother and left him." Shen Luotian answered its question as he turned the last layer of cobwebs apart and freed Bai Su's head: "Because I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can't say for sure." But as far as I can speculate, you've slept here for at least three hours. ”

Bai Su's round eyes widened, flashing a faint green light in the dark night.

"Has it been so long?" It drooped its ears and looked dejected. After licking a few front paws that had just been untied, he whispered in a depressed voice: "I've not been in good shape lately, you know." I didn't mean to scratch your brother, my own consciousness was suppressed by instinct at that time, so I ran. At that time, I ran for a while, and when I came to my senses, I was about to turn around and look for your brother, but after the fog, I got lost. I wandered around the warehouse by the sea for a long time, and I didn't know why I was sleepy while walking. ”

"I can understand the reasoning. But emotionally I still can't accept it, you don't have rabies, right? Shen Luotian asked seriously.

"I sincerely beg you, will you go straight to the sea in a moment?" Bai Su also looked at him sincerely, his mouth unforgiving.

Shen Luotian carefully released its two-day retreat from the cobweb, clapped his hands, and stood up.

Bai Su rolled on the ground twice. rubbed his itchy back, then stood up slowly, shaking the long hair on his body vigorously.

"It's disgusting...... Spiders shouldn't exist in this world at all. It looked at the slimy cobwebs hanging from its body in disgust, and poked its head out, as if trying to lick it. But hesitated again.

"Where did this cobweb come from, what happened to me when I fell asleep?" It asked in a whisper, its eyes still not taking off its long, fluffy tail, and wondering whether to lick the cobwebs off it.

"It's not easy to explain, anyway, it has something to do with some contraband, and now this pile of cobwebs should be a bright nightmare."

"Bright nightmares?" Bai Su also looked around like Shen Luotian, and nodded thoughtfully, "It's really quite similar." ”

"Hmm." Shen Luotian nodded approvingly, picked up the knife, and stretched out an arm at Bai Su: "Let's go." ”

Bai Su jumped on the spot, grabbed Shen Luotian's arm and climbed onto his shoulder.

Shen Luotian was scratched by the sharp claws and had already begun to bleed a little. But he still had to endure the pain, putting on a strategic, fearless expression, and sure enough, he was a big-tailed wolf who was very good at pretending.

"It's pretty wicked, don't you think so?" Bai Su squatted on his shoulder, lowered his head and licked his tail patiently, and said intermittently: "I...... How can you walk and walk...... Are you sleepy? Still...... Sleep when you say it...... It's great that we didn't make any trouble. ”

"What else do you want to do?" Shen Luotian glanced at him, and continued to lower his head and carefully dodge, or the spider under the destroyer: "Besides, it's not that you are sleepy alone, in fact, everyone is, you don't have to be ashamed." ”

"Everybody?" Bai Su jumped on Shen Luotian's shoulder a few times in surprise and asked happily.

"It's more troublesome to explain this, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you little by little, do you have time to listen?

Bai Su nodded quickly and looked at him expectantly.

"Who else is asleep?" It asked excitedly.
