Chapter 207: No Way Back
There are more than one or two places where the collapse is here, and the little insect leads the turtledove all the way forward, and traces of collapse can be seen everywhere along the way, but fortunately, the layers of sliding doors have been destroyed in the collapse, otherwise they really have no way to go to the sky and no door to the ground.
In the confusion, the two of them only cared about running for their lives, and they didn't notice where they ran to, after all, there was an unknown monster that looked like a wanderer behind them, and no one had the heart to pay attention to anything else, so they ran away before the other party caught up.
The monster that looked like the Wanderer was so large that its lumpy muscles showed explosive power, and it couldn't get through the broken sliding door like turtledoves and bugs, so it went crazy and slammed into the walls around the sliding door.
These walls had already suffered heavy damage, and at this time, they were repeatedly rammed by such a monster of exaggerated strength, of course, it was impossible to resist, and it could only delay its progress for a moment.
"Boom!"
The massive monster slammed through a wall and entered a vast space, its long, scarlet eyes sweeping through the darkness, seemingly unaffected by the darkness around it, grinning and stinking saliva dripping all over the ground.
Although it couldn't find where the two little ones were hiding for the time being, it was able to smell them,—— yes, their smell was nearby.
Pacing back and forth, the monster kept trying to use its front paws to lift up the debris all over the ground, but unfortunately it could not judge the specific location of the turtledove and the worm nearby, and the long thick tail flicked fiercely, and the monster was obviously angry.
The miscellaneous objects were swept away by its tail, including the legs of the table, the back of the chair, the fragments of the wooden cabinet, and so on, all of which crashed into the surrounding walls and were smashed into even more shattered pieces.
Slowly opening its mouth, the monster seemed to be trying to scare out the turtledoves and bugs hiding in the shadows with its roar, but its roar was strange, hoarse and low, and if you looked closely into its mouth, you would see that it had no tongue.
In fact, it can't be said that there is no tongue at all, but this monster's tongue is only a small part of the end, and most of the rest is missing, looking at the jagged wounds at the section, it is estimated that it was bitten off during a fight with something else.
No wonder it sounded so wrong, it turned out to be a broken tongue.
After searching for a long time without finding its prey, the monster's patience was finally exhausted, and it waged its tail angrily, and finally turned back to the corridor where it had just begun, and quickly climbed the stone pile back to the gap between the floors, and everything was calm again.
……
"Is it gone?"
A crooked tin cabinet in the corner, the turtle dove and the little worm two people close to each other, hidden inside, heard the turtle dove asking himself, the little worm aimed his eyes at the crack of the door of the iron cabinet, looked out twice, and whispered back:
"I can't see clearly, this door is too narrow."
Because the tin cabinet is not placed vertically, but obliquely crooked, so the small insect is basically leaning on the turtledove's body, and the turtledove under the small insect has to shrink its neck and bend over, otherwise such a little place can not accommodate the two of them.
There had been no movement outside for a long time, and the turtledove was quite tired of maintaining this shape, so what he most wanted to hear from the mouth of the little insect was the five words "it is gone".
"Don't move!" The little worm slapped the turtledove, "Don't be uncomfortable, the reason why the two of us are crowded in this small cabinet is not because of you in the end, I asked you to come with me to find something useful, why are you so disobedient, you have to cause trouble......"
The little worm chattered a lot, and the more she talked, the louder it became, and the little worm herself was startled as she spoke,—— and stopped suddenly she was patronizing the mistake of criticizing the turtledove, and she almost forgot that there was a monster outside at any time.
Fortunately, the monster did go away, and the little worm stopped talking and gently pushed open the door of the tin cabinet.
When she jumped out of the cabinet first, the little insect looked around nervously, and when she confirmed that the monster was really not here, she beckoned to the turtledove that was cowering at the bottom of the cabinet behind her, and asked him to come out quickly.
"What the hell is that?"
Turtledove said that he was finally able to stretch his body, and that it was uncomfortable to shrink for so long, and he moved his arms and legs as he asked the worm about the possible origin of the monster.
To the turtledove's surprise, the little worm frowned and did not speak.
"What's wrong?"
The turtledove thought that the insect had discovered something wrong, so he was so frightened that he pulled out the dagger with a "poof" and looked around vigilantly.
"I've never seen a monster like that," said the worm solemnly, "you say it's like a wanderer, but it's a bit specious,—— I haven't seen anything like it anyway, so I don't know what it is." ”
In the past, no matter what kind of thing or monster it encountered, the bug could always tell one, two, or three, such as when he met a catcher like Schultz, such as the tide caller he met in the abandoned city, and then the sliding door and iris scanner that he just encountered, it seems that there is nothing in this world that the bug doesn't know or understand.
However, the worm is not omniscient after all, and the worm does not know anything about the monster that forced them to drill into the tin cabinet. It's not just that I didn't understand it, but I hadn't even seen it before, let alone what its name was.
Turtledove began to think that things were a bit of a big deal.
"And, the most serious situation is that there is no way back for the two of us."
Since there was no direct threat for the time being, the little worm simply patted his ass and sat on the ground, analyzing the current situation.
……
As Worm said, she and Turtledove really had no way out, because the only sliding door that connected to the freight elevator was somehow powered and locked, making it impossible for them to open it again if they couldn't pass the iris scanner authentication.
I wonder how they could knock the sliding door open that even the monster couldn't open, and the turtledove and the worm weren't superhumans.
However, the worm has never planned to return to the next floor by the freight elevator from the beginning, although the next floor is safer, but it is clear that there is no way out, if you want to leave this ghost place, the worm knows that she must continue to walk forward with the turtledove.
Whatever was going to happen in front of her, it seemed like she had to bite the bullet and move forward now,—— the little insect thought, her eyes glancing around as if intentionally or unintentionally, she was more and more sure that someone was secretly watching her and the turtledove.
