If you're lucky, there should be enough in the town. If you can fill the cargo compartments of all the vehicles, you will no longer have to worry about hoarding food for a long time to come.

Su Hao did not skimp on the rationing of weapons.

All members of the entourage were accompanied by several heavy fully loaded magazines. Even a multi-barreled machine gun that was originally erected at the entrance and exit of the base wall had less than a thousand spare bullets left. All of them were loaded onto the truck and became part of the people's armament.

The long convoy was parked behind a mound less than half a mile outside the town. After leaving some guards, Su Hao and the others cautiously approached this abandoned human town on the Gobi Desert from the front of the road.

Deathly silence. Sprawl from this dilapidated complex. Except for the air currents that swept across the crooked and helpless broken doors and windows, crashing against the walls and making a feeble wail. No more superfluous sounds can be heard.

It's so quiet.

It's so quiet that you want to shiver, and you can't help but feel a strong desire to pull out your legs and turn around and run.

In Su Hao's opinion, this is actually normal.

If there is some strange and inexplicable sound in this abandoned town. That's where the real fear lies.

The absence of movement means that there are no living beings, no living beings that can move freely.

This is the real security.

He suddenly had a very strange thinking: why is there no evolved man here? And also the reinforcement people? Even those refugees, don't see the once familiar army emblems?

What's more, there are no "worker bees".

The size of the town is not large. An asphalt road that runs from east to west connects this once noisy place with the outside world in an orderly manner. So that they are no longer independent, no longer lonely.

Su Hao and his two subordinates are like three ghosts coming from the depths of hell. With great vigilance, he carefully stepped his feet into the town circle that could not be seen by the naked eye.

Supermarket, safe.

Gas station, safe.

Grain, oil and food ration center, safe.

Except for the wind howling overhead, and the heavy breathing coming from people's mouths and noses. In the dead silence of the town, no superfluous sounds can be heard.

"Lead all the people into town at once!"

In the absence of communication satellites, the signal transmitted by the short-range intercom device is not very clear. But as far as radio waves within a kilometer are concerned, achieving the most basic interconnection is not a big problem.

"Ga--"

The speeding convoy was like a group of steel beasts, rushing straight out of the hidden place at an incomparably fast speed. Dive headlong into the designated locations in the town. Before the pilot's brakes could be steady, the refugees who jumped out of the carriage were already carrying their weapons behind their backs. With indescribable excitement, they rushed into the empty buildings.

No one knows if there are killers hiding in the shadows in the town.

No one knows if the terrifying mutated creatures will suddenly appear.

In the absence of any foresight and defense, the only protector of people is time.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Get everything in the car. Hurry up! Don't ramble. When the stuff is full, let's go! ”

Maybe it's because of the long life zài on the verge of death! The muscles of these refugees are far stronger than ordinary people. Bags weighing 50 kilograms of rice were carried by them and could carry as many as two or three bags at a time. Moreover, the speed of running under the feet has not decreased in the slightest.

Su Hao was not idle. Among all the crazy porters, his cunz ài stands out.

Carrying objects weighing hundreds of kilograms at a time, reciprocating in a state of fast running. This is definitely a horror that anyone who has watched it will be staggered.

However, this is true.

It seems to be a strengthened person, or the body has been specially strengthened and transformed.

Now Su Hao feels like a human-shaped handling machine. Only the materials that exceed their height are several times their height, and they are loaded into the car as quickly as possible.

There are so many things left behind in the town.

In addition to the necessary variety of food from the supermarket on other shelves. A large number of dusty clothing and clothing were also collected. as well as a variety of different types of necessities.

Loading, and still going on.

"Quick! Faster! ”

This has replaced all consciousness and become the only thought in Su Hao's mind.

Suddenly, in front of a wall near the street on the second floor. He stopped.

Moving from upstairs to downstairs is a waste of time. If you throw something downstairs, it's obviously much faster.

Thinking of this, Su Hao couldn't help but tremble a little with excitement. I saw him take three steps and do two, and rush to the wall. Gather your strength and smash the huge fist out. Hearing only the sound of "boom", a large hole several meters wide suddenly appeared on the wall built with hollow bricks.

Seeing this, the refugees couldn't help but cheer in a low voice. They rushed to the open hole and threw the goods they were carrying straight to the ground. Soon, the truck, which was filled with all kinds of supplies, sped away. Another vacant vehicle re-entered, taking its original position again.

For the admiration of his subordinates, Su Hao just smiled generously. I had to run towards the supermarket again.

Just at the moment when he was about to turn around. He suddenly felt that there seemed to be some indescribable strangeness in the street floor that shone through the hole in the wall.

Even he couldn't tell what was wrong. Because, on the street outside, it looks like a qiē as usual.

Grayish-yellow grains of sand are evenly spread on the smooth pavement. Occasionally, when the wind blows, it will always be lifted high and slammed to the ground.

Su Hao stood there steadily, without speaking or moving. An indescribable feeling was spreading and spreading inside him.

Here, it seems, is dangerous.

However, even he did not know: where did the danger come from?

1

He just felt that the road in front of him, which was not very wide, was where the danger was.

Obviously, this is a bit unreasonable.

Suddenly, an extremely tiny detail caught his attention.

It was a gust of wind. A gust of wind swept across the ground with a small amount of sand.

The yellow sand flying in mid-air fell straight down after losing momentum. Falling on the ground, driven by inertia, rolling, jumping, and scattered in all corners of the road.

A few of the grains of sand that rolled to the opposite corner of the house were quickly swallowed up by the tiny crevices scattered in between, and completely disappeared from sight.

Cranny...... Cranny?

Su Hao only felt a flash of light in his mind, and he suddenly discovered that there might be some kind of secret hidden in these seemingly tiny cracks that he didn't know.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly jumped down from the upper floor. Quickly ran to the corner of the house across the street, crouched down, and picked up a small wooden stick that had fallen next to it. Pull up these dense and continuous crevices in the ground.

Underneath this, there should be something.

Under the action of external forces, the distance between the gaps is constantly expanding. After a few seconds, the gap, which was only a few centimeters wide, had widened into a circular hole several times wide. However, due to the location and the angle of light, looking down from Su Hao's location, it was still pitch black, and he couldn't see it at all.

Dig, keep digging.

Su Hao, who was all focused on this, didn't notice it at all: right under his feet, the mixed layer of sand and gravel that was trampled on the rubber soles. The whole thing is gradually declining at an extremely slow, and imperceptible rate. The sand that had accumulated on the road had also followed this shallow dent and never flowed to the surface of his feet. Thicker and deeper.

"Whoa--"

Suddenly, he only felt that he was light. The feeling of imbalance that came from under his feet instantly spread throughout his body.

The sand and gravel that poured down, together with Su Hao, collapsed from the road surface. Creates a large black gap. Suddenly appeared on the paved street.

Rubbing his aching buttocks, Su Hao slowly stood up from the bottom of the cave. When I looked up, I saw that the distance between the top of my head and the ground was tens of centimeters high. The hardened sand layer connecting the road is less than 30 centimeters thick. It was precisely because he inadvertently widened the gap that the soil layer, which could not bear the weight, completely collapsed.

Underneath it, it turned out to be empty.

"Boss, are you alright?"

One of his subordinates, who saw this qiē, hurriedly jumped down from the upper floor, his hands folded together, and shouted anxiously into the crypt.

In all fairness, his shouts were not very loud.

But to Su Hao's ears, he only felt like thunder faintly ringing in his ears.

This is a typical echo effect.

In other words: the space in this crypt is extremely large.

"Quick! Let them drive away. Get as far away from here as possible! ”

The direction of the collapse, not far from the truck. Su Hao didn't want to lose a valuable truck in vain in such a place.

He tried his best to see the space inside the cave. However, under too strong direct sunlight, there is a strong parallax with the dark cave environment. So that the adaptation effect of the eyes can not be restored for the time being.

"Click--"

A crisp cracking sound came from Su Hao's slightly backward feet. Through the soft soles, he could feel it completely: a not very big hard object was at his feet.

Squatting down, groping to pick up an inexplicable hard object, and bringing it to the direct sun. Suddenly, Su Hao only felt that all the blood in his body suddenly poured up on the top of his head.

It's a bone.

A piece of human jaw.

The color of the bones, the white eyes, are greasy white, so white that you can't help but want to tremble.

When he was in college, Su Hao once mentioned in the biology books he had read: The color of the bones is actually directly related to the decay of the deceased.

After the corpse decomposed, all that remained was the bones. This is common knowledge that people know.

Generally speaking, the color of dry bones can be roughly divided into three basic colors: yellow, black, and white.

In too humid environments, bones covered with mold tend to have a black and gray color. However, in the vast majority of cases, the rotting bones are generally mostly yellowish. The most fundamental reason for this is the accumulation of decomposed nutrients on the corpses.

Bones that are completely white are extremely rare in real-world environments. Because, in order to achieve this kind of process, there is no trace of decaying material attached to the surface of the bone. In other words, it is absolutely impossible for a bone that is extremely white to have any skin and flesh decay.

The climate in the desert is very dry.

Su Hao believes that a dead body exposed to dry air can turn into a stiff mummy. However, the desire to transform into the bones of Bai Mori is not something that can be achieved by the power of nature alone.

Apparently, this miserable white bone had been "cleaned" by some kind of creature. So that there is no residue of decay deposits.

At this time, the sunlight transmitted from the top of his head had already sprinkled all over the position where Su Hao was standing. And his face involuntarily turned into an iron blue with surprise.

It is a huge underground cave.

Judging from the various utensils scattered on the ground, the cave is actually the basement of the houses that stand on both sides of the street. However, the cement floor, which should have been level, has been sprinkled with a thick layer of white human bones.

Su Hao raised his feet, wanting to get closer and take a closer look. But I was horrified to find that the moment the soles of my feet fell, there would always be a crisp cracking sound.

All the bones, without exception, showed a greasy pale color. Moreover, they do not have the usual tenacity of bone. Under the crushing force of gravity, they have turned into a mess of debris.

Su Hao's forehead began to ooze a large amount of cold sweat.

Bones are fragile, which means that the bone in them has been completely destroyed.

These bones should have been eaten so cleanly. Even, each piece has been sucked and chewed carefully.

Over here...... What exactly is this place?

Who killed them?

Who is it, like a flesh-eating maniac, who gnaws at it? Even the marrow oil in the bones refuses to let go?

Suddenly, a sound as thin as a mosquito came from the depths of the cave.

After listening to it, Su Hao was sure: This is not an illusion, but an actual existence.

The voice was very small, as if the baby was deliberately suppressed and sobbed. It was as if some inexplicable creature was biting gently.

What's in the cave?

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Su Hao backhanded out the carbon steel war knife behind him. Carefully probe for possible pathways in a patch of broken bone that pierced the foot. Slowly approaching the source of the sound.

Next to a rusty steel walkway, with the help of the not very bright light, he finally noticed that in the center of a pile of human bones that had been built in a ring, several tiny objects of inexplicable shape were faintly wriggling. Strange noises come from their mouths.

What could it be?

Holding a knife in one hand, he touched the cold light irradiator on his shoulder with the other. At the moment when the faint blue fluorescence suddenly flashed. Lei Zhen only felt that everything in front of him had become clearer than ever.

It was a group of mutant creature larvae that had just been born for a short time.

With a pink body, stubby limbs, and soft fur, at first glance, this litter is obviously a little one who has just been born for a short time, but it also looks quite cute.

However, the bare teeth that emerge from their mouths make people shudder. Because, the teeth are just too big.

The two sharp fangs were more than half the length of the mutant hatchling's body. It is with the help of this sharp instrument that they can easily bite through hard bones.

A litter of mutated larvae would definitely not make Su Hao feel frightened.

What really made him tremble was a few of them climbing on the mutant hatchlings. A black bug the size of a finger.

Huge nail pincers, sharp and poisonous tail hooks, and arthropod-like oily bodies.

Black Scorpion, endemic to the desert.

This is definitely no ordinary black scorpion. Because, their double pincers are even bigger than their bodies. Moreover, on the tail hook that stood tall and upright, three nail needles were forked.

"Unexpectedly, even the black scorpion has mutated."

Such a thought did not last long in Su Hao's mind. He discovered that these poor mutant larvae had become the best food for the black scorpion's mouth.

They eat us, and we eat them.

A very strange feeling spread in Su Hao's brain again.

He "saw" that it was a whole new food chain. As for human beings...... Completely at the very end of the food chain.

I don't know why, Su Hao remembered Haig again.

Huge hard pincers, mercilessly clipping off the feet and limbs of mutant larvae, bringing them to the mouth and devouring them. The sharp tail hook also quickly pierced into the pink body and stabbed it for a while. The mutant hatchlings, completely numbed by the toxin, soon lost any breath except for a few helpless wails.

In the depths of the cave, the undulating "squeak" sound still continues. Judging from the quantity, there should be hundreds of mutant larvae that may have zài.

Obviously, the black scorpions, which prey on mutant larvae, are extremely numerous.

"Who the hell is this place? Why are there so many human bones? Why are there so many young rats? Even the mutated black scorpion is so numerous? ”

There is no doubt that this is a huge underground nest of mutant creatures.

"Let's go! Come on! Everyone's retreat, get out of here at once! ”

Suddenly, Su Hao seemed to be crazy and jumped out of the crypt at the fastest speed. Incoherently shouted at the intercom over his shoulder. At his urging, all the convoys that entered the town drove backwards out of the town.

"What do you see? What's down there? Sitting in the galloping carriage, the refugee, who had previously shouted loudly towards the underground lair, handed over a bottle of clean drinking water and asked curiously.

“…… There, it's a lair of mutated creatures. Raising his neck and pouring a big mouthful, Su Hao calmed down and gasped: "It's really terrible." It is estimated that the corpses of the entire town were dragged into the ground by the mutant black scorpion and eaten up. Those monsters tore the rest of the mutant hatchlings apart. ”

Fear is the instinct of all living beings. Even the parasitic Su Hao is no exception.

"Lair?" The refugees were a little curious: "In that case, why aren't the adult mutants seen?" It stands to reason that after the hatchlings are born, the adult mutants should not be too far away from them. ”

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Su Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Adult mutant...... That's right! Why is there no adult mutant in the cave at all? "After clipping off the foot of the mutant larvae, bring it to the mouth and devour it. The sharp tail hook also quickly pierced into the pink body and stabbed it for a while. The mutant hatchlings, completely numbed by the toxin, soon lost any breath except for a few helpless wails.

In the depths of the cave, the undulating "squeak" sound still continues. Judging from the quantity, there should be hundreds of mutant larvae that may have zài.
