Chapter 29: The Vanishing Village
The rain had stopped, and it was dark outside the streets. Most of the village had collapsed into the ground due to the wormholes in the crypt, and a small number of untouched houses stood in the northern corner of the ruins. The eerie and damp atmosphere brought a bit of poignancy to the village under the ruins.
In the gloomy and gray room, the fluorescent bottle resting on the table was the only source of light in the room, and the room was shrouded in gloom, and the fingers of the sleeping man on the bed began to move, and he was about to become familiar with it. Li Xin opened his eyes, and now he was lying on the bed, covering his body very heavy and the quilt was scattered with heavy moisture, which was not comfortable, but it was better than anyone on the floor. He suddenly leaned forward and cast a confused gaze on the fluorescent bottle on the table. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
"How do you feel now?"
"It doesn't feel good. Your body ......" Li Xin turned his head sideways and looked at the owner of the voice that spoke. Li Xin's voice was a little hoarse, and he suddenly thought of something, paused, and looked away. “…… Is the arrow wound already healed? ”
"I've fully recovered, and I haven't even left a scar" Yayun also noticed Li Xin's strange behavior, sat down on the edge of the bed and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Scared? What am I going to be afraid of. Yayun didn't seem to understand Li Xin's words.
"Oh, it's nothing" Li Xin happily appeared, his appearance returned to its original state, the black scales covering his body had dissipated most of them, and the scale armor on his arms did not look so hideous. Now the problem is that he was embarrassed to show his almost body, and quickly changed his words and said, "Can you help me get a set of clothes?" ”
"I've been ready for you a long time ago." Yayun stood up and walked to the table to pick up the clothes that were resting on the chair, which seemed to be fairly clean, which didn't mean much at this point, as he would soon get dirty again.
"Thank you, you're so attentive." Li Xin took the clothes with a smile and secretly held Yayun's arm, but now the other party's hand was trembling, and her heart seemed to be very uneasy. Li Xin was stunned for a moment, raised his head to look at the other party, and suddenly felt his smile become stiff.
"Yayun saw her previous appearance, so she would be afraid." Li Xin's face was a little pale, and he quietly let go of his palm, took the clothes and changed them for himself. He got up and changed the subject, saying, "Tony has already brought the others away, now that you have recovered, we should go too, those bugs have almost ruined most of the village, and staying here can only be neighbors with those damn bugs." No, it's a nightmare. Honestly, I can't wait to get out of here. ”
"Where are we going after we get out of here. More behind Tony them? ”
"No, Tony didn't tell me where my team went, maybe he didn't think it was necessary. Anyway, we can go to the east, or to the north, and we can't go back to the city we used to come anyway, and the road we came from is probably now occupied by the walking corpses, and if I can, I want to avoid the rotten corpses as much as possible. Li Xin sat down at the table, picked up the food that Yayun had prepared in advance, and ate a few bites, the damp meat was terrible, he put the rest of the meat back on the plate and continued: "We must leave as much as possible, those insects may ruin this place at any time." ”
"I just cleared up, and the food in the food province can still support five meals, and the water is very sufficient." Yayun replied, her face looking a little worried, the food was indeed clearly insufficient, and they could last a maximum of seventy-two hours, or less, if they had a watch.
In the current situation, the two of them did not have time to hunt to prepare more food, and the situation did not allow him to do so.
"Don't worry, the two villages are only a few hours away at most, and I'm sure we'll be able to find other places soon." Li Xin comforted.
The two of them packed up their belongings, put on their cloaks, and opened the closed door. Just after a light rain, the outside of the house was cold and damp, and the fluorescent bacteria in the dirt and crevices were well nourished and began to multiply, and the broken streets were covered in colorful fluorescents.
Yayun soon saw the insect corpses all over the house, looked at Li Xin with a complicated expression, and asked softly, "Did you kill these insects in your stomach?" Although this sentence was redundant, Yayun's heart was very moved, the man she chose did not abandon himself at the most critical moment, facing the sea of insects everywhere, not everyone can do this.
The two stepped over the bug's corpse and continued north along the ruined street. There were more and more corpses of cave worms on the side of the road, and Yayun's face became more and more pale, and finally she saw the corpse of the hill and the corpse of the insect king who had been eaten up of flesh and only armor, and she almost didn't know what to say.
The corpses of these bugs seem to tell a story of a remnant war.
It was a war for one man.
"That's the Crypt Worm King."
Yayun stretched out her hand to hold Li Xin and whispered: "Thank you" She finally understood why she woke up and saw Li Xin become like that. He once again lost control in the killing, and in the face of the overwhelming number of bugs, it was already a miracle that he could survive, and her man was a man who was good at creating miracles.
"I killed a lot of bugs, and I killed the Crypt Worm King, and scooped up the essence of its head. I was so involved that I almost lost control of my consciousness. However, fortunately, in the end, my head came to my senses again, and I fed you some essence, and the injuries on your body were able to recover so quickly. Li Xin lightly recounted the tragic battle to Yayun, raised his finger and pointed to the wound left on the head of the Crypt Worm King.
"I see, I feel that my strength has increased a lot during the difficulty, and I have the opportunity to show you the latest way of fighting that I have come up with." Yayun squeezed out a smile in front of her and tightly held Li Xin's waist, she knew that this man had paid a lot for himself.
The two left the village and headed north. It took them some time to find a road that was almost obscured by weeds, and continued north to a thick patch of grass. Nature almost swept in, and the wide road was almost covered with grass. Walking through the weeds, the wet leaves almost wet their clothes.
Li Xin hummed the tune and adjusted his feelings. Occasionally, there are a few cars on the road that collide with each other, but Li Xin is thinking about what makes two cars in two lanes collide together, and some crisp insect chirping comes from the depths of the grassland, in such a world, it is obvious that the ones who can survive will not be ordinary insects, Li Xin doesn't want to encounter these monsters, they must avoid those mutated creatures as much as possible, and spend all their time on the road.
"It would be nice to have a car, at least we don't have to walk in this harsh environment." After Yayun saw Li Xin's expression, she hurriedly said, "I'm just kidding, this kind of weather is really bad enough." ”
"I don't want to walk either, if possible." Li Xin muttered a sentence and continued to hurry. The dew had almost wet their cloaks, making the clothes inside equally wet, and the cold feeling on their skin was terrible.
Along the way, they encounter a mutant beast that is dealt with by Yayun. Li Xin couldn't tell what the mutant beast looked like, maybe it was a rabbit, a mouse, or a small bird, in short, its strange appearance made it impossible to distinguish. However, Li Xin finally figured out one thing, that is, Yayun's ability, the power of the current released seemed to be a lot stronger, the blue electric light flickered, and the current directly penetrated the body of the mutant beast, killing it, a very powerful ability, which made people unguardable. I'm afraid that even Li Xin can't withstand the power of this strong current.
The long journey paid off, and they reached a village. Both of them were stunned at what they saw, saying that it was a village, but rather a huge crater, or a pudding that had been dug with a spoon. Li Xin saw a building cut in half, the only remaining building in the village, and a sign that the village once existed.
"What kind of force is causing this crater?" Yayun walked through the hall that had been cut in half, stroking the cracks in the walls, the incisions were neat, as if she had been eaten by something. Nearby rainwater began to collect into the pit, which may soon be replaced by an inner lake.
Li Xin was sure that there was absolutely no meteorite or anything like that in the pit. The pit was large and deep, covering almost the entire village. No matter what caused this, Li Xin was unwilling to continue to stay here, the dark pit, scattered with an ominous aura, like a blood basin wanting to devour people. Li Xin had a hunch that if he fell into it, he would definitely not survive.
Li Xin said: "Let's go" Yayun also nodded the same, obviously having the same thought.
The two continued on their way, but the road was blocked by a huge crater and disappeared completely, the road became muddy and bumpy, and they lost their way in the grass. Li Xin had to take out his machete and take on the job of opening the way, he kept splitting the grass and bushes to reopen a new road, and they had to find other roads as best they could, otherwise they would not even have a chance to rest. The two of them were absolutely unwilling to linger for a moment longer in a wet and dangerous meadow.
After walking for a while, Li Xin showed something abnormal, the grass was very quiet, and there was no sound of insects, which was hardly a normal thing. You have to leave as much as you can, Li Xin told herself. He sped up swinging the knife to open the way, and suddenly, a cluster of strange vines wrapped around the machete in his hand, Li Xin finally tore off the vines, but more vines attacked his footsteps like poisonous snakes, and the vines entangled Li Xin's heels, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
Li Xin pulled hard, removed the vines under his feet, picked up the machete, cut the approaching vines and retreated.
"Be careful on the right," Yayun shouted loudly, and with a sound of electricity, it hit the monster that attacked in vain on Li Xin's right, a hideous and extremely large carnivorous plant, some of which looked like enlarged cordyceps, and the strong current successfully roasted its oval-shaped insect trap. Li Xin also split a few, and there seemed to be a lot of them nearby, and carnivorous plants popped up one after another. The two were surrounded, and it was hard to believe that these mutated carnivorous plants had eaten up all the mutated creatures in the vicinity.
