Chapter 289: Something Huge

PS: PS: I wrote two chapters today, and I haven't written so many for a long time, and I finally have a chapter to save. Strive to fulfill the promise in the near future and pay off the debt owed to the LSL bookworm. There is no guarantee, if you don't work overtime recently, you will repay the debt!

Jack's words were like tongue twisters, but I didn't find them funny at all. I've gotten to know him better during this time, and he occasionally makes jokes, but in general he's a strict person. He wouldn't have played a child's temper at such a time and deliberately scared me.

I looked at Jack first, his face was tense as ice, and there was no hint of amusement on his swollen face. The two of us are currently almost halfway between the lake and the edge of the cave, which is to have a greater view and make it easier to spot the Laos and Vietnamese, or be spotted by them. Because I can't search separately from Jack. Jack's face was facing the edge of the cave, and his eyes were staring blankly. I suddenly felt Jack's breath go short.

I immediately followed Jack's gaze. Although the light of the torches was very bright, it was not good to illuminate far away, and it was impossible to shine on the edge of the cave or the side of the underground river, and its main role was to illuminate the surrounding road and make Jack and me stand out. When it comes to finding Laotians and Vietnamese, you rely on cyclops flashlights.

The farther away we were, the darker the light became, and in the visible range, I didn't see the ground moving as Jack was talking about.

I was so anxious that I shouted, "You're dazzled, I haven't seen anything." ”

Jack lifted the discarded arm, gestured into the darkness, and said, "There it is, coming right now." It should be felt quickly. ”

I immediately shone the cyclops flashlight in the direction Jack was pointing. Because we are located in the middle of the underground river and the edge of the cave, the cyclops flashlight does not need to be adjusted to the high beam, and it needs to be exposed to a larger area at present. The One-Eyed Flashlight easily illuminated the area, all the way to the edge of the cave.

When the cyclops flashlight lit up the other side and let me see the scene in front of me, my heart seemed to stop beating. I think we've really hit a catastrophe this time.

The ground is approaching us from far and near, like a tumbling wave of wheat. It's as if hard rock is under an inexplicable force. It became soft soil, and it was ploughed out by this force. And these countless ridges are coming to us like waves.

I forgot to breathe and stared blankly at the strange sight on the ground. It lasted about five seconds, and I suddenly yelled, "Fuck, run." ”

Then I dragged Jack forward.

Jack was clearly still basking in shock. didn't react, and passively ran after me. As he ran, he turned his head to look at the waves.

Of course it's not an earthquake, it's an earthquake that plows up the rocky ground, and I think both the sound and the huge shaking will make us unbearable, and we will stand here like a bird and watch it approach.

It's probably the most incredible thing I've ever seen, like a huge sheet of leather that covers the ground, or the thick oil that runs down the walls of a cave and from the ceiling. Its surface glows with a dark sheen, and it's very close to us. In the light of the cyclops, I could clearly see that it was whole.

It wasn't a whole of countless bugs I've ever seen, but a huge individual. And I ran a few steps and realized that it was a living and intelligent individual, and the direction of its surge adjusted with the direction in which Jack and I were running.

Nothing can stop it, it seems to be invisible, and can spread like a liquid across any surface. When it encounters a deep ravine, it shows solid characteristics and does not flow into the deep ravine. It's easy to step over. However, in front of the stone pillar that rises to the top of the cave, it separates like flowing water, and the parts that flow through the stone pillar immediately merge together, as if its form can be divided and combined at will.

Jack quickly understood that it was not the ground that was moving, but a large thing on the ground. And he sees another problem. This thing came down from the top of the cave and along the walls of the cave. But instead of trapping us in a circle, this thing completely blocked our retreat, and it had covered the visible space behind us, as if it was trying to drive us up the underground river.

"It is not in a hurry to attack us. Rushing us forward! Jack gasped and shouted.

Of course I could see it, and I was even wondering if I had made the right decision. I decided to go upstream to the underground river because I thought the Laotians and Vietnamese were there, but this thing drove us upstream into the underground river, and that would not be the reason.

Is it because of a strong sense of territorial belonging? Did we trespass into its territory? It's the most optimistic situation I can think of.

It wasn't very fast, always trailing us more than ten meters behind us. Although this made me nervous and felt very oppressive, it also confirmed my suspicion from the side, it drove us away.

It turned out that I was overly optimistic.

"It's getting faster."

Hearing Jack's exclamation, I looked back to see that the black oil surge behind me had suddenly increased in amplitude, rapidly approaching us, and had entered the light range of the torches.

I cursed fiercely, pulled my backpack to the front, pulled all the magazines out of it, and ran slowly as I shoved the slightly dashing magazines to Jack, the AK47 magazines into my waist. Shout at Jack, "Run ahead." I figured out how to hold it back. ”

"Can you do it?"

"Enough, or you?"

“……”

Jack let go of me and staggered forward. I was running fast, at least faster than I could when I was holding it. I took a look at it and decided that I would never trust it again.

When I looked back, the swarthy thing behind me was already close at hand. It is like a huge worm with a flat shape, and every time its body undulates like a wave, it can move forward for a certain distance, and the greater the amplitude of its body undulation, the greater the distance it can advance once.

At such a close distance, even without the one-eyed flashlight, I could conclude that it was a whole, and the surface was as smooth as oil, and I couldn't imagine how it could surgically cut itself in front of the stone pillar, and how it could heal into a single body in an instant.

I didn't expect the AK47 to work on it, its body should not be afraid of being penetrated or even cut in half. I pinned my hopes on fire on the bayonet of the AK47 rifle.

I'm sure any animal is afraid of fire, especially this thing. Although I can't tell what it is, let alone species, even the most basic phyla and boundaries I can't classify it. But I know that fire is my most powerful weapon at the moment, and if it doesn't work as intended, then my most useful weapon is left with two legs. A weapon for escape, of course.

As I ran, I flattened the upward-sloping AK47 and suddenly stabbed it backwards. (To be continued......)
