Chapter 957: Another Layer of Space
Crunch......
The air in the sewer is quite turbid, especially the feeling of stepping on the mud, which is a great torture...... A mixture of rot and foul stench kept rushing up from below, and with each step it felt like it was about to sink.
As he progressed, Ling Mo kept looking around, but the more he observed, the more he felt his scalp tingle. Not only on the ground, but also on the cement walls on both sides, there are many strange marks, which at first glance look like mold or moss, but after a long time, you will find that most of those marks are made of a mixture of flesh and mucus...... This is true even for the walls, not to mention the composition of the silt......
But disgusting to disgusting, after choosing this path, they did not encounter those centipede people again. Not only that, but there was almost silence inside the sewers, and it was two worlds compared to the outside. It didn't take long for Ling Mo to already have a very long feeling. The unchanged environment and oppressive atmosphere fully show that this is really not a suitable place for human survival.
Especially after thinking of Xia Na's words, Ling Mo felt more and more like another space here. A treacherous, fearful place hidden beneath the city.
"Zombies are no longer the only monsters......" Ling Mo repeated silently in his heart, his mind recalling the expression on Xia Na's face when she said this...... He rarely saw that look on Xana's face...... It was a complex expression that mixed the feelings of both zombies and humans, and it seemed to be a little relieved and a little joyful......
"It's like there's a new kind? No...... More of a feeling of no longer being lonely......"
Perhaps for Xana, this kind of underground creature represents the same meaning as the feeling that humans were constantly chasing alien creatures in the first place. And not just alien creatures. And then there are the anthropomorphic protagonists of the story...... The reason why they frequently appear in human fantasies and expectations. Maybe it's also because of the loneliness of the human community......
If in this world. What kind of situation would it be to have the same advanced life as yourself...... Looking back, Ling Mo suddenly realized that he had actually been thinking like this.
It's just the appearance of zombies that completely shatters this illusion. The emergence of new species has brought about the endangerment of human beings......
"There may not be many human beings who would think of this topic at this time......" Ling Mo couldn't help but think with some embarrassment.
In today's environment, I don't know how many people are praying for the zombies to disappear...... What a new species. It's a disaster...... To put it more bluntly, this is the battle for resources between two species, but if we go deeper, this is the collision between two civilizations...... Humanity has been crushed, but it still exists. Zombies are all over the world, but only a few of them have actually evolved to the advanced stage......
"But why don't zombies think so? This centipede man's attitude towards zombies is also very distinct...... food, and it's captive-bred food. If the entire underground is them, then sooner or later they will also develop to the surface......" Ling Mo thought with a little headache.
Humans, zombies, underground creatures. Mutant Beast ...... That's all he knows so far. But who knows if there are any new monsters being born anywhere else?
It's not just humans. The survival of other species is also difficult. This is a real "if you don't compete, you die" era......
"Ling Mo, look."
Li Yalin suddenly paused, raised her hand to a corner not far away, and said softly.
Looking in the direction of her finger, Ling Mo immediately saw a cement hole.
"It's leading to another building...... Ling Mo guessed.
The one they used to pass through Guò should be the drainage pipe of Lawson's company......
However, after two more glances, Ling Mo noticed that something was wrong, and this was probably the real reason why it caught Li Yalin's attention......
At the edge of the cement hole, there seemed to be a hand sticking out......
"I'll go take a look."
Ling Mo sped up and walked over through the mud.
Seeing that he was moving quickly, Li Yalin and Xia Na also came over curiously.
All three of them looked a little expectant, but they were not nervous...... Obviously, this can't be a living creature anymore. It doesn't look like a centipede, and if it's a zombie, it can't lie there honestly.
"It's a corpse." Ling Mo just walked to the cement cave and took a look, then spoke.
The corpse looked like it had been around for a long time, its head twisted strangely, and a pair of empty eyes staring at Ling Mo. Even though his face was mutilated, it was still clear from his teeth that he had been a human at the time of his death......
"It's not ...... rot yet," Ling Mo said, staring at his shriveled hand.
"It's because the blood has been sucked clean, and the temperature here is very low...... Xana analyzed.
"But since there are corpses here, it means that there must be some kind of monster moving around here......" Ling Mo looked around.
Xana also turned her head to look at it a few times, but finally turned her gaze back to the corpse.
"If you drag a corpse normally, how will you drag it?" Xana asked suddenly.
"Hand drag!" Li Yalin replied.
Ling Mo, on the other hand, looked at the corpse and thought for a while, and replied, "From the perspective of facilitating his own actions, it should be dragging his feet...... Hey! When Ling Mo said this, he suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, "Could it be ......?"
"That's right!" Xana snapped her fingers lightly and said, "The corpse must have been dragged inside here, so the palm of her hand was stuck at the edge." And recall that the group of monsters I encountered before also lived under the ground of the Lawson Corporation? In other words, this group of monsters will probably not stay in this kind of passage, but will stay in a more closed place......"
As she spoke, Xia Na was already looking at the cement cave with anticipation: "In other words, there is also a group of ...... here Brother Ling," she looked up at Ling Mo and said, "Do you want to enter?" ”
Of course he didn't want to go in...... But I feel a little uncomfortable just leaving......
"Brother Ling, I want to confirm more." Xana said a little coquettishly, "Okay? ”
"Confirm what?"
"Humanoids are not a single species?" Xana tilted her head.
"Single ...... That's right! ”
There are already supernatural people in humans, and there are also high-level and low-level zombies among zombies, as well as the difference between ordinary zombies and mutant zombies, so what about underground creatures?
The sooner you know more about them, the sooner you can find ways to prevent them...... At least before they crawl out of the ground, you need to know what to do with them on the ground!
"I'll come."
Ling Mo walked up with his face away and grabbed the corpse's clothes.
"Offended......"
After a silent reverse, he jerked the corpse down.
Most of the corpse's body was long gone, so it didn't fall into the mud after coming out of the cement hole, but was reluctantly carried by Ling Mo in his hand. He found a fairly flat place and put it down, and then took out the few broken bones that had been scattered in the cave and placed them next to the corpse.
Xia Na and the second daughter watched this scene silently, and it was not until Ling Mo was completely busy that she looked into the cave.
"Can you smell anything?" Ling Mo asked.
Li Yalin shook her head: "I feel like there's nothing over there." ”
"That's right, it's all slime." Ling Mo glanced into the depths vigilantly, but he couldn't see anything except the gray patch.
"I'll go first."
He moved his body for a moment, and then climbed in first.
But just after he entered the cement cave, he suddenly heard Xia Na ask, "Brother Ling, what were you thinking just now?" ”
"Huh?" Ling Mo half-squatted in the cave and turned his head with some difficulty.
"It feels like you're on your mind." Xana said.
She also crawled into the cave, and at this time, the red glasses were flashing with a ghostly light, staring deeply at Ling Mo.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Ling Mo suddenly found that her black eyes had also turned into a deep gem, which seemed to be constantly reflecting light, and there was a dizzying feeling at first glance.
Although this feeling was only fleeting, it made Ling Mo stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Ling Mo didn't answer, Xia Na raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said, "Actually, I feel it even if you don't say it." Are you worried? About these humanoid monsters? But also, Brother Ling, you have always been very worried about our affairs, even this time. It's obviously a matter of fighting zombies, but they don't let us get involved directly......"
"By the way, I haven't counted this yet......"
"Are we weak?" Xana asked suddenly.
Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Of course not...... The maternal zombie was killed by Ye Lian, and the other two high-level zombies were also handled by the senior sister and me, and you Xana, you found this place quietly......"
"Ahem...... I won't be happy if you praise me like this......" Xana rolled her eyes, then touched her hair a little awkwardly and said, "Actually, I didn't mean it that way...... What do you say......" she bit her lip and thought for a moment, "No matter what, we're not like other zombies!" We have a human being protecting us! If you put it from another angle, Brother Ling is also different from others, because you have ...... by your side Sister Love, Senior Sister...... Whatever...... So there's no need to worry so much, just live together...... Just because there's a new species isn't necessarily a bad thing......"
The more she spoke, the quieter she became, and finally suddenly grabbed the sickle under Ling Mo's gaze and slammed it forward: "I hate it to death, hurry up and get out!" It smells of a heavy corpse! ”
"it...... Who has to speak here? Unreasonable ......"
"Stupid human ...... Have you ever seen a reasonable zombie? ”
"What are you doing, I want to go in too......" Li Yalin's voice came weakly from behind...... (To be continued......)
