Chapter 4: The Goddess of Fate's Joke
The turtledove's eyes became extremely wary as she looked at the little girl.
Everyone knows not to enter the ruins of the city in the desert at night, because if you are not careful, you will be torn apart by the hordes of humanoid monsters and swallowed, and no one knows how many monsters are hidden in the corners of the ruins, and how hungry they are.
So what is the origin of this little girl, it is worth the people outside to risk so much to enter the ruins in the middle of the night, anyway, the turtledove only wants to get as far away from her as possible now.
Never get involved in trouble, this is one of the lessons that the turtledove has learned to survive until now.
Outside, on the street, the soles of pairs of shoes squeezed the cold sand of the night into a "creaking" sound, and the turtledove clenched two handfuls of cold sweat in his palms, for fear that those people would discover this hidden warehouse.
For some reason, the "creaking" movement reminded the turtledove of the mouse it had seen before, and the turtledove still remembered the sound of its bones being chewed by humanoid monsters.
"There seems to be a door over there, I'll take a look."
However, the most worrying situation for the turtledove still happened, even through an iron door, the turtledove could still feel that someone was approaching outside the door, and he turned to look at the little girl in the dark, as if to ask her if she had any ideas.
The little girl was as silent as an iceberg, hidden in a dark corner, silent.
Near, near, near...... The turtledove silently listened to the sound of approaching footsteps, his heart beating faster and faster, ready to enter a state of rage at any moment.
Turtledove was ready for the worst, his fists clenched, his eyes reddening.
The footsteps came to the door, and as soon as the turtledove grasped the handle inside, the man outside tried to twist the handle a few times, but found that it could not be twisted, but did not give up, but also got a wire, and there he tried to poke the keyhole.
"Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang......"
Turtledove's heart was beating, the sweat on his forehead dripped on the ground along the tip of his nose, to be honest, his little heart was about to jump out of his throat, thanks to the fact that he had experienced a lot of winds and waves over the years, if he were an ordinary person, he would have panicked at this time, how dare he hold the handle and compete with others.
The wire poked the keyhole "bang, bang, bang", but the fart didn't work, and the person outside was a little confused, and he couldn't screw it or screw it, and he couldn't open it, could it be that something was blocked in the keyhole?
Turtledove didn't know what the person outside the door was doing, he only knew that his whole body was about to suffocate, and the strong tension made him secrete a lot of adrenaline, and in his high spirits, Turtledove vaguely heard a almost undetectable movement outside the door.
"Ho, ho, ho......"
The turtledove's pupils contracted suddenly, and he knew what it was, that if a person's throat were to be cut, he would not die of suffocation for a short time, but he would not be able to make a sound because of the destruction of his vocal cords, and could only make that strange movement of "ho-ho-ho".
Sure enough, although the people outside acted carefully enough, they still attracted the attention of the humanoid monsters, and the buddy outside was also unlucky, everyone was quiet, but he made a wire to poke the keyhole there, probably he put his mind on picking the lock, and he didn't notice when the danger approached him.
Maybe the monsters have already discovered them, after all, so many people ran into the ruins of the city in the middle of the night, and it is impossible that there is no movement during the whole process, and the blame can only be blamed on the buddy's little too back, and the first one was targeted by the monster.
The sound of bolts pulling and pouring fire rang out, followed by shouts of retreat, and the streets outside exploded, monsters roaring and roaring, and humans shouting and swearing.
The turtledove clutched the doorknob with both hands, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, and the world outside the door had fallen into complete chaos, and inside the door, there was still a pitiful and humble peace.
……
I don't know how long it took, but when everything finally calmed down, the turtledove let go of his grip on the doorknob, took two steps back, and finally sat down on the ground with his back against the wall.
Tremble in the balance.
If the monster had come a little later, perhaps the man would have summoned his companions to come and inspect the door that could not be opened; If the monster had been a little more curious, it might have noticed the door that stood between itself and its door.
All in all, my luck was so good that I was able to escape this catastrophe with good luck.
Regardless of the monsters or the people, the turtledoves did not think that they could pick up a life from them, in a sense, they were monsters who wanted their own lives for the turtledoves.
His hand touched a puddle of liquid on the ground, and Turtledove thought that he was scared to pee his pants, so he raised his finger and twisted it on the tip of his nose, and then suddenly.
It turned out to be the blood of the guy outside, flowing in through the crack in the door below.
……
The goddess of fate did not pity the turtledove, and did not even give him time to catch her breath.
The monsters drove the convoy out of the ruins of the city, but don't forget that there were still a lot of human corpses left here, and it wasn't long before a monster arrived outside the warehouse door.
It first looked around to make sure there was no living person, then walked into the ruins of the supermarket, clawed down a corpse, and began to bite and swallow the still warm flesh, the sound of which gave goosebumps to it.
The Goddess of Fate joke doesn't stop there.
After a while, another monster seemed to want to come to this gluttonous feast, and its actions caused a great deal of dissatisfaction among the first arrivals, and the two sides first yelled face to face, and the situation soon evolved into pushing each other, and finally the force of the push became stronger and stronger, and one of them happened to be pushed against the door.
"Bang!"
Turtledove looked at the door frame in front of him where the dust was falling straight down, and hoped that this door must be held up, so as not to be knocked down.
The battle between the two monsters outside intensified, and the one close to the iron door of the warehouse was obviously not the opponent of the other one in terms of strength, and the size was also smaller than the others, and it was knocked away by the other party three times and twice, and it was angry, rushed over and hugged the opponent, and bit the opponent's shoulder fiercely.
"Whew!"
The larger monster let out a muffled roar of pain, grabbed the smaller monster's neck with his right hand, and was not in a hurry to tear it off its body, like a bulldozer, and pushed it straight into the iron door of the warehouse.
"Bang, bang."
There were two loud bangs, the first one was the sound of a smaller monster hitting the iron door, and the second was the sound of the iron door being knocked down and smashing on the ground.
If you want to say that the turtledove does have the potential of the Emperor of the Declining Mouth, he didn't say anything, he just thought about it for a while in his heart, and the iron gate was really knocked down by those two monsters, which made him reasonable.
The smaller monster knocked down the iron door, and fell to the ground in the warehouse, and slipped into it for a distance, even if its eyesight was not good, at such a close distance, it could clearly see that there was a big living person standing next to it.
The two monsters inside and outside the door were stunned, and the turtledove was also stunned.
If this was the first time that the turtledove had seen such a humanoid monster so closely, they were mutated humans affected by radiation, and their facial features were exactly the same as those of humans, and if there was a difference, it was that their eyes radiated a savage light, indicating their low intelligence.
They weren't as strong as the turtledoves had heard of, at least none of the two in front of them had the kind of lumps of tendon flesh that they had, but they had no doubts about their strength.
There was no hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, or the like, and the skin was pale, as pale as albinism, and it was even possible to see the veins under their skin, and there was not a single strand of hair on their bodies, which the turtledove had seen a long time ago.
The turtledove was still stunned, and the monster on the ground suddenly showed its mouth full of sharp teeth, and it was about to open its mouth to bite the turtledove on one side. Their teeth are completely different from those of humans, and their sharp, curved canines make them look more like felines.
"Bang!"
A gunshot interrupted the turtledove's astonishment, and he looked down at the monster on the ground who had been shot in the head, and then remembered that there was a little girl in the warehouse, and the turtledove turned his head in shock and anger, and roared in a low voice, "You are crazy! ”
The smaller monster was shot in the head and kicked in the head a few times. But the gunshot also woke up the slightly larger monster outside the door, and it bared its teeth and roared, hunched over and rushed into the warehouse.
Turtledove knew that she had caused a big accident this time, and the sound of gunfire would soon attract all the monsters in the vicinity, and when the time came, there was nowhere to run, and seeing the monster running past him, the target was the little girl in the corner, and the turtledove picked up his backpack and ran out of the door.
It's not that the turtledove is not righteous, but he and the little girl have no friendship in the first place, and earlier they thought about killing each other, but now the little girl shot herself to death, and the turtledove didn't want to stay here to bury her.
It was too late, it was too fast, and the turtledove, who had already escaped from the supermarket, heard a few more gunshots coming from inside, and he didn't bother to look back to see who the little girl and the monster were still alive, so he picked a direction casually, and the turtledove ran wildly with his head down.
Flee as far as you can, out of the ruins of the city, from the Steeltooth Hunters and the mysterious but powerful convoy.
The roars of the monsters came and went, and the doubts in Turtledove's heart were even more surprising that the convoy that had withdrawn from the ruins of the city had actually been killed again, and listening to the sound of machine gun fire from a distance, the doubts in Turtledove's heart were even greater.
It seems that they want to see the little girl alive and dead to see the corpse.
But what does this have to do with yourself, it is important to save your life.
……
The turtledove had been running for less than a few minutes, and he knew that there were already several monsters behind him, but he couldn't help but stop, because a line of yellow sand had just floated in front of him.
"It's changed?"
Ignoring the monsters that had been snatched from behind him and were closing in on him, he looked up at the sky, and the heavy clouds lay low overhead, and the occasional flash of lightning in the clouds would light up the dark night sky for a moment.
"Boom ......"
The rolling muffled thunder seemed to ring in the ears of the turtledove, and the monsters were also startled by this movement, and they didn't care about the turtledove, and they all burrowed into the ruins of the surrounding buildings, huddled in the corners and shivered.
Ah Fu stiffly turned his head, and the desert storm he had seen at dusk was coming this way.
