Chapter Seventy-Three: Redemption
"It's the fat man, and those spiders hung him up a tree." After Liu Chang saw the figure hanging in the air, he shouted in a low voice: "Don't move, I don't know if I'm dead?" ”
"Go up and have a look."
"Hmm." Liu Chang responded, and Li Qingshui and Li Qingshui walked through the gap in the cobwebs to the branches, and the fog lights searched, and the light hit the fat man's face.
"Fatty, fat~!" Li Qingshui called softly, and poked him vigorously with the branch in his hand, "Dead, say something." ”
"Hmm......" The fat man in the coma muttered softly, barely raising his drooping eyelids.
"Not dead!" Seeing the fat bullet move, Liu Chang and Li Qingshui glanced at each other, and at the same time saw an unexpected surprise in each other's eyes.
said it was a surprise, because in fact, the two were really ready for their companions to die before they met the fat man. After all, after being lost in the jungle for nearly an hour, and with so much danger chasing after him, his chances of survival were too low. But now seeing that this fateful companion can still murmur, Liu Chang and Li Qingshui are full of energy at the same time - the companion is not dead, and they have not come in vain this trip.
"Hurry up." Re-lit the "small torch" in his hand, Li Qingshui burned the cobwebs around the fat man, and Liu Chang pulled him out of it after the cobwebs loosened.
"Whew!" The fat man was dragged by Liu Chang's full strength, and made a painful sound, and after pulling him out of the layers of cobwebs, the two also found the terrifying wound on his body.
Just now, the cobwebs were dense, and the two of them couldn't see clearly, but now that they saw clearly, they found the terrifying and disgusting wound on the fat man's body.
It is said to be terrifying, because there are hundreds of wounds on the fat man's body, the big ones are the size of a palm, and the small ones are only as small as a fingernail, and none of them are injured in fatal parts.
And the wound is disgusting, because this is not just an ordinary wound, and above the open and closed wound, there are pools of blue-green sticky spider eggs wrapped in it, and the spider eggs are only the size of millet grains, and they are gathered together in small piles, just soaked in the fat man's wounds, soaked and warmed by the blood and flesh in him, and it looks extremely disgusting.
"Damn, these spiders are so cruel, they even use him as an incubator, it's better to kill him directly." Liu Chang looked at the blue-green sticky spider eggs on the fat man's body, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Spiders don't know how to be cruel or not, they only know how to survive." Li Qingshui checked the fat man's pulse and wounds, picked up a spider egg and observed.
"And what do they mean by making him half-dead like that?"
"Let's have food for the sake of breeding and stockpiling for future generations! After all, if the fat man is completely killed, then their 'food' preservation cycle is only two hours, and if he is alive, he can maintain the freshness of the food for several days. Li Qingshui said and exclaimed: "This creature has more imagination than us!" ”
"Don't lament that these are useless, let's get people back first." Liu Chang spoke, leaned over and patted the fat man's cheek, "Wake up, are you conscious?" ”
"Hmm......" The fat man's eyes opened a little slit, and his mouth made a whimpering sound, which seemed to be a little conscious, but he couldn't organize the words.
"His muscles are paralyzed, and you carry him on your back." As Li Qingshui spoke, he lifted the fat man onto Liu Chang's back.
At the same time, on the other side of the jungle, the horse that had chased the fat man let out the last scream of its life.
"Hurry up, time is running out, those spiders are coming back."
"Hmm." Liu Chang picked up the fat man on his back, Li Qingshui turned on the fog lamp, and the two jumped down from the branches, and after confirming the lower position, they ran away in the direction of the forest at the fastest speed.
This time, due to the difference between the route of escape and the choice they chose when they entered, the two of them found a strange place after running a few steps--an area formed by three large trees, wrapped in layers of cobwebs, sealing off a place about dozens of square meters. In these dozens of square meters, the cobwebs are dense, and all kinds of creatures are wrapped in them, which looks very much like the "food reserve base" of the spiders.
And judging by the size of the reserve base, spiders have been operating in this place for a long time - because there are already all kinds of spider "food" in this reserve base, including voles, insects, birds and people.
A woman.
She was locked in the middle of the "grain reserve area", and Liu Chang flashed through the fog lamp and saw that her body was covered with one non-fatal wound after another like the fat man. Unlike the fat man, some of the spider eggs on the woman's body had burst, and small transparent spiders the size of fingernails crawled all over her body, some happily gnawing at her skin, and some devouring her flesh. One by one small spiders from her skin and milk. The room and the abdomen slowly crawled out, with the most perfect posture to welcome the first feast of their new life.
A woman tied up in a spider's web, a woman crawling with spiders, a woman being bitten - this kind of scene looks even more terrifying than the Shura Hell, and the so-called ten thousand ants devour the heart.
And what is even more worrying is that the woman's consciousness is awake, her eyes are round and wide, and her eyes are torn, as if the paralyzing effect of her body has been lost, so wrapped in cobwebs, soberly bearing the pain that no one can bear.
"Help her, won't you?" When the fog lights flickered, Liu Chang saw that the woman's eyes immediately showed a look of extreme pleading after they came into contact with the light.
"How can I help?" Li Qingshui pulled Liu Chang, "This cobwebs are too dense, we can't get in at all, then Ma Lu is already dead, and the spider will come back soon." Let's go! ”
"Then we can't save her, at least help her solve her pain." Putting down the fat man, Liu Chang picked up the bow and crossbow hanging from his waist, aimed the crossbow arrow at the woman's body, and pulled the trigger.
Sou!
The bolt flew a few meters away, through the cracks in the cobwebs, and into her chest, from which blood flowed - the woman covered in bruises finally ushered in the fatal wound she had been waiting for.
Then her eyes revealed clarity and gratitude.
"Let's go." Retracting the bow and crossbow and picking up the fat man again, Liu Chang no longer looked at the poor woman, and followed Li Qingshui all the way to the outside of the jungle.
And along the way, they never encountered danger again. The two of them were extremely lucky to walk out of the jungle all the way and came to the human world.
"Alas, let's go, go to Xiaojing." The two men walked out of the jungle to the city, where they no longer needed a compass to find their way, because any collapsed structure was the most visible sign of humanity.
Liu Chang carried the fat man on his back like this, and together with the teacher behind him who had lived and died together countless times, he walked to the human area in this dark world.
