Section 520 Sand ghosts

The soil is loose and the grass is not too deep. Su Hao didn't give Maggie any chance, he directly turned over and rode on her back, stepped on her left hand with his right foot, and pressed Maggie's head to the ground with his knee and right hand at the same time.

Maggie was howling all the time, like a sow being dragged out of the pen, about to be slaughtered.

With great strength, she kicked her feet back and forth in the air and on the ground, kicking up a mess of dirt. Her movements were so crazy, and a beastly roar kept coming out of the depths of her throat, Su Hao didn't dare to relax at all, he already knew that the strength of humans in this world was not much different from his own, and once he was a little careless, Maggie would immediately turn over and ride on top of him in turn. Of course, she may not kill herself, but as long as you think about it, you will understand that this woman will not let herself go in vain. Its conditions are nothing more than insults and ravages, any of which Su Hao cannot accept and unimaginable.

The field was empty, it was far from the village, and the loud noise went unnoticed. In this way, in just a few minutes, Maggie completely lost her life. Her head was pressed by Su Hao into the mud to a depth of more than 20 centimeters, leaving only her head exposed. The soil here is rich in moisture, and a lot of mud is squeezed and seeped out from the edges of Maggie's body, forming a strange puddle.

Su Hao's movements were very large, and the intense fear made him swing cruelty and savagery to the extreme. Maggie's forehead was pressed against a stone buried deep in the dirt, and Su Hao felt the sound of bones breaking down his arm, which indicated that Maggie's head had been crushed alive by himself, but Su Hao did not relax at all. This fat woman had left too much impression on herself before, and God knows if there is some xenovirus on this planet that resurrects the dead? In this way, Su Hao forcibly twisted two arms from Maggie's corpse, and made sure that the lifeless body would never move again, so he gasped, hurriedly packed up the clothes and food scattered next to him, and left quietly.

Before leaving, Su Hao didn't forget to break off a finger from Maggie's corpse.

Cannibalism is not Su Hao's instinct. However, in certain circumstances, he had to do so. It was precisely because of chewing that finger that Su Hao was able to know the basic overview of the world under his feet.

Maggie is just a peasant woman with limited vision. Strictly speaking, Su Hao didn't have many memories from his fingers. Maggie only knew that the wasteland to the north of the village was large, and armed caravans were often infested. This is because there are quite a few large cities on the other side of the moor. Without roads, trade would not be able to form a scale. It is true that a small trader like Zachary can make a small profit from it, but there must not be too many such vendors, otherwise the end result will be that everyone will not have anything to eat.

The memories are very fragmented, and Maggie is a very gossipy woman. What she was most interested in was the emotional entanglement between the infatuated men and women in the village, and the secret relationship between a woman and a man that could not be put on the surface. These miscellaneous things are all the talk of the village women in their daily chats, but they occupy the most important part of Maggie's memory. Su Hao was helpless about this, and he couldn't delete them from the memory of the cells, so he could only let them form a chaotic picture in his thinking.

Su Hao stayed in the wild for two whole days.

As far as Maggie remembers, he found a plant with small purple-red flowers, as well as another small animal with earthy yellow skin that resembles a toad on Earth. Using the slurry in the skin of plants and animals, the clothes on the body are dyed in a messy color, the buttons are torn off, and the style of the clothes is forcibly torn and changed. Su Hao soaked his clothes in the mud, and then dried them under the sun, and it became so ordinary that no one could see the dirty style of his original appearance.

An unkempt man who will not attract attention at all. Su Hao wandered around Cun Zài like a beggar. Despite his desperate need for more information about the world, he did not continue to kill. The size of the village is small, and the security situation here is very good. Previously, Maggie's disappearance had caused unrest in the village. People searched everywhere for her traces, and Su Hao buried the body very deeply, and every trace was handled very cleanly. For a short time, no one will notice. In order to make things more thorough, Su Hao spread rumors in the village as a beggar, and as a result, everyone believed that Maggie had a wild man outside, and secretly left with his friend.

Zachary was able to "meet" Su Hao at the well, also because of Su Hao himself. He couldn't stay in the village forever. Su Hao must do his best to change his current situation, and it is the right choice to leave here and go to the other end of the hot sand wasteland. There is no food, no water, and identification is also required to enter the city...... All of this qiē can only be given by caravan merchanters.

"Lazy bones and bitches are all fucking for Lao Tzu to go faster"

Zachary felt like he was wailing. At normal rates, you should have reached a point not far from the edge of the wasteland. That's exactly what I wanted. As he set out, Zachary counted the degrees of the porters. Those despicable fellows were afraid of death, and no one wanted to stay overnight in the wasteland, and it was for this reason that Zachary hired four people in one go, instead of the usual two. The reason for this is, on the one hand, for the sake of degree. On the other hand, it was Zachary who lost a lot of money in this business, and if he was blackmailed by the porters as usual, there would really be no profit.

As long as it was fast enough, and with all the weather and time factors, Zachary was completely sure that the porters would not be able to raise the price. As long as they go to the edge of the wasteland, those lowly people who only have money in their eyes don't have to say anything. This kind of thing as raising prices never happens in that kind of place.

However, Zachary miscalculated. The porter's treachery is far greater than you think. Their lives are slower than death, and they always come up with all sorts of excuses. It's either thirsty or you need to rest, or you need to urinate and urinate. Fuck, have you ever seen a king-size bladder carrier who needs to pee for half an hour to urinate once? Lao Tzu's caravan is full of such strange creatures. And their large intestines are so thick that it takes two hours to poop once. Every time they go over to urge, these sluts always squat on the ground, their faces are flushed, and they look like they are trying their best to fight with the intestines and feces in their stomachs.

The clouds on the horizon were getting thicker and thicker, and the faint clouds were gradually turning into a heavy black. Except for Su Hao, the expressions of everyone in the caravan became solemn. Unlike Zachary, who was full of anxiety, the four porters had a sly and sinister look in their eyes, and after secretly communicating with each other, they took off the leather rope from the shoulders of a stout porter, stood in front of Zachary, saluted respectfully, and said with a flattering smile: "Dear lord, this journey is too far. Five copper plates are simply not enough, and you have to compensate us extra. Otherwise, no one can guarantee what will happen on the road. ”

The muscles in Zachary's face tensed. His skin felt hot, he felt an indescribable pressure, and his breath became extremely hot and filled with unbearably high temperatures

What should come is to come. No matter how beautiful you imagine it, you can't get past the damn reality.

"How much do you want?"

Zachary stared gloomily at the dark clouds in the sky. He had resigned himself to his fate. Normally, you can only pass when there are clouds in the wasteland, and if the clouds are too thick and turn black, it means that a downpour is coming. This kind of thing is rare in the wilderness where there is a shortage of water and drought, but it is full of dangers. Whenever this happens, many unknown small bugs will burrow out from the depths of the sand and go to the ground to frantically suck up rainwater. The sight is terrifying, and a single inch long worm can often swell to nearly a foot in length. That water can sustain them for up to half a year, or even several years. Moreover, the rain can also wake up certain blood-sucking plants and animals deep in the sand. Normally, they are afraid of the sun and heat, so they can only hide under the dark and cool sand, and when the rain comes, they will come out to breathe and find their favorite food. If entangled in blood-sucking vines and locusts, a large living person will be sucked alive in just a few minutes.

The smiling porter raised three fingers: "Not much, three silver coins per person." ”

Under normal circumstances, even if the price is increased halfway, the employment price of each porter is never more than one silver coin. Zachary felt the flames in his body rush to his brain in an instant, and his face suddenly turned red.

Triple the price...... Four men are twelve pieces of silver. In other words, not only did I not make any profit on this trip, but I also had to post a lot in vain.

They did it on purpose. Porters are usually much more familiar with the weather than merchants, and they must have known that the rain was coming, so they would not hesitate to offer a price increase at this time.

The porter kept laughing, and there was no hint of threat in his words: "It's going to rain soon, we'd better get to Redstone before it rains." Dear lord, we are just begging for food in the wilderness, and three silver coins are a drop in the bucket for you. You can do it, and give us a bite to eat."

Porters don't do such a thing as killing people and stealing goods. Despite the size of the wilderness, many people had seen the scene of Zachary hiring porters before he went out. Without merchant credentials, porters would not be able to sell their goods in the city, even if they grabbed them. What's more, before Zachary left, he had already left relevant records at the General Merchants' Association. This whole set of procedures was bought by countless businessmen over the centuries with their lives and blood. Because of this, the porter only dares to increase the price halfway, and never does anything like killing people and robbing goods. That's stupid, it's not worth it at all.

"You, are you crazy?"

Zachary heard his voice tremble, not from fear, but from uncontrollable anger: "Do you think I'm the kind of guy who can make hundreds or thousands of gold coins every time I do business?" As you can see, the goods on the cart are all lumps of salt. This kind of thing doesn't make much money at all when it comes to Redstone City. To tell you the truth, I only made less than fifteen silver coins in total on this round trip, and I gave it all to you, so what should I do in the future? ”

"You have three silver coins left."

Another obscene-looking porter came over, pointed to the black clouds that were getting closer and closer in the sky, and smiled "hey, hey, hey", "You also saw it, this rain may come down when." If we speed up now, we can get to Redstone on time. If it's late, your goods will be all lost. Hey, hey, hey, you said it yourself, it's all salt in the car, and they don't like rain very much, but rain loves them very much. ”

The porter raised his voice: "You'd better think about it." You only have three minutes, though. We had to get out before it rained. Otherwise, don't say it's three silver coins, even if you take out all the money on your body, no one wants to ask for it. ”

The tormenting flames kept burning Zachary, and he really wanted to pull out his gun and take out all these vile bastards one by one. This qiē was clearly premeditated. They knew it was going to rain at this time, and they knew what was going to be loaded in their cars. How is this different from robbery and murder?

However, the reality lies ahead. There are two paths: either take out the money to speed up the progress. Either throw off the truck and follow the porter back to the village. As long as he avoided the rain, he didn't have to fear the threat of the porter, and he still had a dozen or so silver coins in his pocket. However, after calculation, it must be that the loss of goods is much stricter. After all, as long as these salt blocks are transported to Redstone City, they can make a profit of at least twenty silver coins.

Just when Zachary was entangled in anger, Su Hao, who had been sitting silently next to the truck, suddenly raised his right hand, pointed to the horizon in the distance, and said in a bland tone: "What is that?" ”

Both Zachary and the porter's attention were attracted, and they both looked in the direction that Su Hao was pointing.

A vague figure appeared on the gray-yellow sand. Its size continues to grow, and even a fool knows that it is moving high in this direction. It was like popping out of the sand, without warning. In just two minutes, the black shadow had been enlarged enough for ⊥ people to see Cheng Dù for what it was.

It was a man who was covered in pitch black. He is very tall and extremely thin, and his body is more than two meters tall, and he will not exceed fifty kilograms at most. Its hands are elongated, its knee joints are always bent, and it seems that it can never stand upright. It's not so much walking as it is staggering on the sand, but it's very agile and unimaginably fast. The man was covered in strips of black cloth, wrapped so tightly that even the shape of the bones under the cloth could be seen, with only the eyes and nostrils exposed, like a living mummy.

"Oh my God, a sand ghost is a sand ghost"

The porters screamed and turned and fled as fast as they could. They ran so fast that they couldn't compare to their previous laziness and laziness. This proves once again that they are indeed the most suitable people to make a living on the edge of the wilderness.

Sand ghosts?

Su Hao had seen an explanation of this creature in Maggie's memory.

The wasteland is a mortal enemy, but there are always many caravans coming and going in the wasteland. Exactly how many people died here, there has never been an accurate number. It is said that the sand ghost is a variant of the Wasteland Victims. They are sucked up by blood-sucking creatures, and they are kept alive by rain and sunlight. Unique environments turn them into mummy-like monsters. Sand ghosts usually hide underground, and only appear on the ground when the rain falls. They have no brains, only the most basic biological consciousness is left in the central nervous system, and their bodily functions are the same as those of all desert species, which are the crazy pursuit of water and nutrition. In the eyes of the sand ghosts, anything that can move is food, and naturally includes humans.

Zachary felt his heart stop beating instantly. From his exhausted brain, he saw his bloody corpse. Of course, taking is just a terrible picture of fantasy, not a reality that has been stored.

The four porters all fled, leaving only Zachary himself and Su Hao.

I, I'm done.

No one was able to escape from under the sand ghosts. There are many legends about sand ghosts in the towns around the wilderness, and no one knows what they are, only the murderous souls that lie beneath the black strips of cloth. As long as you encounter it, don't fantasize about anything like stubborn resistance and counterattack, it's best to run as far as you can

There was despair on Zackery's face. He thought of his wife, who was waiting at home, who was pregnant, and if it weren't for the betterment of the soon-to-be-born child, he wouldn't have made this trip anyway, and he wouldn't have racked his brains to save a few dollars on his porter.

Without warning, Zachary suddenly saw a moving figure glide past him. He felt his waist being pulled hard by some force, and when he looked down, the dagger he was now tied to his waist was gone.

Su Hao's movements as he grabbed the dagger from Zachary were natural and fluid. Zachary did not deter in terms of porter food, Su Hao was well fed, and the thinking consciousness that had been suppressed by the environment since entering the third stage of the world has also been released in recent days. Of course, the enveloping radius could not be as large as that of the Red Dragon Planet, and it could only detect a distance of about ten meters. Despite this, when the sand ghost entered this distance, Su Hao's thinking consciousness also produced a detection effect.

The result was shocking, Su Haoxian: the humanoid monster in front of him, which was completely wrapped in black cloth, could not find any of the characteristics that an animal should have.

He lowered his body and leaped forward, and the moment his body brushed against the target, Su Hao's dagger also pierced into the sand ghost's flank. The other party's degree did not lag at all, but picked up his left fist and smashed it Su Hao's shoulder.
