7 June 1996

In Zhejiang, China, Longquan Town, Lishui City, there are three mountains to the north, more than ten kilometers away. There is a river in the north of Xushan, which is called "Luoshui" by the locals, and on the back of the river, that is, to the south of Xushan, there is a large plain, and on the plain of several hectares in size, there are hundreds of earthen tile houses. It was built by refugees during the war and famine in the early years, and after more than ten years of development and generations, the population of the village gradually reached more than 2,000 people, and the people in the village lived an idyllic life of sunrise and sunset every day.

By this time, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning.

A large number of villagers gathered on the southeastern side of the village. Most of them were young people from the village, some carrying torches, some carrying large flashlights. There are also children who have already started a family, gently shaking the sleeping children in their arms.

More and more people gathered, and everyone looked into the center of the crowd from time to time. It was the ruins of a collapsed house, with large rocks and crumbling clods of earth scattered all over the ground, and a telephone pole that had been crushed by the wall and was tilted. And in the rubble of the collapsed house, a dozen men are desperately digging.

"That's the Gu family's house!" The villagers who had just arrived at the scene exclaimed in surprise.

"What kind of sin has this created, I heard that his mothers are still pregnant, God forbid, God forbid."

"Not at home, right? I saw her go out in the afternoon. Several of the village women began to talk about the owner of the ruins.

"You're talking nonsense! Obviously, the lights in his house were still on when I poured water at night. ”

"Yes! That's a few lives, eh! You guys dig harder! The old lady was obviously frightened and felt fear in her heart. As he spoke, he slapped the young man who was moving the rocks, hoping that they would get the person out quickly.

More and more people gathered, and a few old people from the village also came, directing the rescue at the scene.

At this time, several big men worked together to lift a boulder and slowly moved it to the side. As soon as the stone was lowered, blood soaked and scattered along the sand on the ground.

"Blood! It's blood! ”

After seeing the blood, the atmosphere in the crowd immediately became tense, the chatter stopped abruptly, and everyone held their breath and looked at the young man who was looking into the pit.

"Uh-wow" The young man climbed down the rubble and threw up. After reading his reflection again, everyone understood what the scene in the pit was. Many women in the crowd were already covering their faces and sobbing, not daring to look into the middle of the ruins.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" An old voice rang out from the crowd. Immediately afterwards, an old man wearing only pants, carrying a medical kit, squeezed out of the crowd.

"Did you dig it?!" The old man ignored the sharp stones, climbed barefoot on the ruins, and finally stopped in front of the pit where the boulder was dug. But everything in front of him made him gasp. Even after experiencing the bloodshed of the battlefield, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

In the crater lay a man in rags, his skin still intact despite his blood, and he couldn't find any injuries. But around him, there were a large number of biological tissues that seemed to be flesh and blood, large and small, like the discarded animal entrails in the slaughterhouse, scattered randomly on the ground.

The old man reached out to touch the man's neck, trying to check his pulse, but when he touched it, there was a hard and cold ...... like a rock wall

The young man in front of him has long since lost his skills.

"Why are you still stunned! Dig it up! Is he the only one in the Gu family?! He turned back to the men and yelled, his grief and fear letting his anger vent on his surroundings, and at the same time he prayed in his heart for God's blessing and the comfort of the remaining two people in the ancient family.

……

The sky grew dark, and the only moonlight was obscured by a few dark clouds.

It's going to rain.

At this time, in the upper reaches of Luoshui, a ghostly figure shuttled through the jungle, leaving deep right foot footprints in every place she passed, as if it had been fiercely embedded in the soil by a drill.

"Smack!" In the process of jumping forward, she unexpectedly bumped into several branches, and the bowl-thick branches were directly broken, and after losing her balance, she fell heavily to the ground, and did not get up again for a long time.

After a dull thunderstorm, it began to rain.

The rain gradually became denser, and huge raindrops continued to hit her cheeks and wounds, and mud and blood mixed with the rain flowed down her body.

"Ahem! Ahem! Large chunks of blood kept coughing up from her mouth, and she struggled to get up. The place where the left leg was broken had begun to close, and the nutrients necessary for regeneration began to accumulate in the fracture, and a left foot, smaller than a finger, slowly grew out of the wound. Holding on to the trunk of the tree, she slowly stood up, and jumped forward again with her right foot, which was still moving.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the river was gradually rising and becoming turbulent.

"Boom!" There was a loud explosion by the river, and she used all her strength to stomp on the rocky ground by the river. The rock burst under unbearable pressure, sinking into a shallow round pit with a radius of several meters, and the high-energy shock spread out from the ground at the landing point, and the pebbles and rain that were affected rose instantly, and then landed, and the huge river waves and air vibrations continued to disperse farther away.

After a few seconds.

The loud noise reached her ears thousands of miles away, and a pair of blood-red eyes in the night sky focused on her body, and in the next moment, the black metal in the monster's hand was thrown with all its might, flying towards her right leg at a speed like breaking through the air.

And this side is a kilometer away. Seriously injured, she used this desperate step to directly sweep the river more than 20 meters away. But just as she was about to land, her right foot suddenly had a sharp pain like a break, and her lower body was also picked up by the force of the impact, and she was thrown to the ground on her back after she was originally diving.

After a few moments, she leaned against the trunk behind her and struggled to her feet again.

"Give it to me."

A cold, hoarse voice came to her ears from a distance, as if it were coming from a dilapidated machine, without any emotion.

The sound of flapping wings in the air gradually became softer, then stopped, followed by footsteps from far and near. She struggled to open her eyes, but the sticky blood on her right eye refused to let go. The left eye, which was opened with difficulty, was soaked in blood, and what he saw was still blood-red.

"Huh-" A pitch-black steel tube about two meters long pierced her chest, passed through her heart muscles, and stopped in the atrium.

"Give it to me." The man in front of him repeated what he had just said.

Blood poured out from the other end of the pipe.

After a few moments, she slowly raised her right hand, palm up. A ray of glowing blue light rushed in the blood vessels of the whole body, gathering in the palm of the palm, and for a long time, a ball with blue fluorescence was suspended in the palm of the hand, trembling and trembling.

This little ball of blue light was what the man asked her for, something that he could want to get even by such means. At the same time, it is also something that she spares her life and does her best to protect.

"Smack!" Just as the man reached out to grab it, she suddenly crushed the ball of light, and the silent forest echoed with a glassy crisp crumbling sound. The blue fluorescent color turns into sand, flows from the palm of the hand to the ground, gradually darkens, and finally disperses with the wind like dust on the ground.

The man, as if suspended at the moment of breaking, remained in the position of reaching out. But she slowly closed her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Whew! Phew! Laugh at! Laugh at! The man who came to his senses pulled out the steel pipe embedded in her flesh and stabbed her body repeatedly, repeatedly. Although his face was expressionless, such a cruel act undoubtedly exposed his heart, which was incomparably angry, that was the anger that wanted to cut the other party with a thousand knives.

Knowing her situation, she gave up her resistance, and her arms gradually turned black and stiffened, reflecting a metallic sheen. She didn't hold her head, but desperately protected her slightly bulging abdomen, as if the most vulnerable part of her body was not her head, but her abdomen.

The man continued to pierce her body with a steel pipe, and finally stabbed her in the center of her eyebrows, and the sharp steel pipe pierced her scalp. It stopped at her skull.

The man stopped suddenly, as if still.

For a long time, he did not continue, but slowly opened his lips and spat out a hoarse and stiff sound.

"Let's ......," he said, letting go of the pipe.

"It wasn't supposed to be this way."

With that, his shoulder began to rupture, and two long bone spurs grew out of the ruptured wound, and the bone spurs slowly opened, and the membrane between them gradually thickened. Finally, he flapped his wings and flew in the direction he had come, disappearing into the dark and rainy night.

The night was coming to an end, the rain was getting lighter, and a thick white fog rose from the valleys.

The river in the mountain stream began to become clear, and many birds and animals began to gather around the river to drink the spring after the rain. And in the jungle next to the river, a woman with blurred flesh and blood leaned against the trunk of a tree, and leaned silently like that, as if time had stood still for her again.

"Da-da--" A gray-colored wolfdog came running from a distance, stopped beside her, and startled several birds by the river.

"Whew!!"

The barking of the dog was like a loud noise, and it exploded from here in an instant, and a sound wave that was difficult for human ears to hear instantly spread throughout the valley, and in several mountains, hundreds of identical wolf dogs raised their heads almost simultaneously after hearing the barking, and then ran towards the source of the sound.

……

At the foot of the mountain, next to the ruins of the ancient house.

The baby in the village woman's arms trembled.

"Grandpa the village chief, there is a dog barking on the mountain." A boy with pigtails tugged at the corner of the old man's coat next to him.

"What are the children talking about, why don't we hear them? Don't get in the way of the adults, go back to sleep! On the ruins, a sweaty man carried a large rock and scolded at the child.

"Babies don't lie, children are psychic, it's almost morning now, what else do you sleep? It's you, dig it for me. The old man spoke in Mandarin with a slight dialect on his cane. When the boy heard that his grandfather agreed with him, he grimaced at the man very proudly.

"Dad, what else are you digging for? It's been cleaned! All that's left is these messy stones, and there's no one left! He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and explained to the village chief.

"Yes, village chief. Da Niu is right, there is really no one down here. Another man who was moving rocks answered.

"Eh! That's a good thing, I said I saw her go out in the afternoon when I was picking vegetables in the field. Hearing the men's discussions, an old woman with a doll on her back stepped forward and interjected. Aren't you going back to your parents' house? ”

"Oh my God, this is a manifestation."

"It's good if you're not there, it's good if you're not there." Several village women also sighed.

"But the baby hasn't been born yet, and the father is gone." A sudden impersonation in the crowd made the crowd fall silent instantly.

Indeed, although the pregnant woman escaped the catastrophe when she went out, the house still crushed a person to death, and although everyone was sad, they still left the rubble one after another. The old medic was alone, constantly examining the exhumed corpse. Everyone paid attention to digging and saving people, but he noticed the strangeness of things.

Although the body was covered in blood, after examination, there were no injuries on the body, even no bruises could be found. He had died a few hours earlier, but his body was harder than a corpse that had been dead for days. This can't help but make him creepy, should he have died a few days earlier? He assumed this, but the slightly blood-colored skin and clear pupils on the corpse clearly showed that he had died for less than half a day.

Also, this ancient family's house is not only made of hard soil in the village, but mixed with cement, which was bought by the man of the ancient family from the town, and the whole village used this mud to build his house, which should be a solid house in the whole village, but tonight in the whole village, only his house collapsed, which is really suspicious. What puzzled him the most was the flesh and blood of the unknown object next to the corpse, and when he thought of that picture, his stomach couldn't help but roll, making people sweat coldly.

Thinking of this, the old military doctor felt an inexplicable fear, too many incredible things have happened one after another in the past few months, although the impact is not great, but all the strange signs have pointed the finger here - this ancient family who just moved to the village last year.

At this time, a ten-year-old lady in the distance, sitting in front of her own door, looked like she was chattering, looking at the ruins of the ancient family in a daze, and kept muttering softly in her mouth.

"There's something unclean, there's a ghost in the village...... Children and grandchildren run...... Run......"

……

The fog in the mountains and forests gradually lifted, and the sun rose slowly from the valley to the east.

The wolf dog who was the first to arrive suddenly shook his ears, looked up at the rising sun, stretched out his two front legs, and lay down again, lazily looking at the woman under the tree beside him, and then at the distant sun again.

"Hmm~" As if she had been woken up, she let out a soft snort. Her body moved slightly, and then, her whole body, as if she had been reborn, quickly regenerated at a speed described as "terrifying", even "terrifying". The broken ribs in the chest were pulled into the correct position by the muscles and internal organs, and the broken right foot healed instantly and began to grow, almost at the same time as the first regenerated left foot. The original flesh and blood of the upper body has been restored to its original state, and only some fragments of minced meat and blood stains are left on the new skin. At this time, the luster on her arm gradually faded, and the darkness gradually dissipated, but even so, her arm was still firmly protected on her abdomen, unwilling to move away.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ————" The roar of a helicopter was heard in the sky overhead.

"Whoop" "Whoop" "Whoop, whoop"

A large number of wolfdogs also arrived here one after another, and suddenly, a figure jumped from a helicopter dozens of meters high and landed heavily on the ground next to the tree, it was a man in pajamas, with a safety belt around his waist and a long rescue rope tied to it.

"Lilei!" After the man landed, he ran directly to Lilei, who was sitting against the tree. And quickly pulled out a small cylinder from his arms, through the transparent piece in the middle, you can see that it is full of emerald green liquid, he directly tied the cylinder to Lilei's wrist, and the liquid was instantly injected into the muscles of the wrist. Then the man gently lifted her up, raised his left hand and made a safe and ascending gesture to the helicopter above.

"Shhh

In the left driver's seat of the helicopter sat a young woman, wearing a pilot's helmet but wearing a baggy beige pajamas, showing that she, like the man on the ground, boarded the plane in a very hurry. At this time, she was looking at the big pool of dirty blood next to the tree on the ground, and the black steel pipe lying on the ground.

"Hmm......"

A sobbing sound spilled out of her tightly wrapped flight helmet, and she clenched the lever tightly, her sharp nails piercing the flight gloves and digging into her skin.

At the same time, a hot teardrop fell on the dashboard of the helicopter.
