Chapter 48: The Living
The moment Lu Lie raised his foot, the three bodies also moved.
They quickly pounced on Lu Lie's back like lizards that preyed, straight and hard.
"Roar!"
Lu Lie had already taken precautions, he listened to the wind and knew that someone was coming behind him, so he turned around and opened his mouth to spew out a ball of flames. The spark fell on the body of the elder man, and the fire rose instantly, and in a few moments, it turned into a scorching flame, completely engulfing the three of them.
"Horn, click, snap, coax, click. ”
In the flames, an elder rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, but his voice was like that of a robot, and he calmly made these three strange sounds.
"Horn, click, snap, coax, click. ”
The other two fire men were dying in the flames, their bodies twisted, but their voices were unusually calm, and they recited the syllables of unknown meaning in unison.
"Horn, click, snap, coax, click. ”
The three elders sang together in silence before they were burned to the ground.
They didn't put up much resistance, they just rolled back and forth on the ground a few times, and they were burned by the firelight. With the last jump of the remnant fire, three humanoid black residues were left on the ground.
"This ...... What the hell is it?"
Lu Lie had palpitations, slowly walked to the area where they were burned to ashes, squatted down, pinched up a little black residue, put it to his nose and smelled it. There was still a stench of burnt fire in the mist, but the three strange men were long gone.
Lu Lie tinkered for a long time and found nothing.
He had expected a fierce battle. If the wall of fire can't stop the three strange people and let them get close, summon the armor of the iron turtle and fight them hand-to-hand with a long machete.
This...... Too weak too?
And the zombies that met on the tree wall are not at the same level at all, okay?
encountered such a small episode on the way, Lu Lie did not dare to stop, and continued to walk in this misty city.
The little boy was right, and after crossing the intersection, Lu Lie went straight along the avenue, and soon found a house with lights on in a dilapidated and empty house on the side of the street.
Although he didn't quite understand why the lights of this liquor store were dark blue. From afar, it looks like a large jellyfish floating in a white void.
When Lu Lie approached the wine shop, he saw that there was a wooden board hanging diagonally at the door of the wine shop, which was full of cobwebs, as a signboard, and four big characters were drawn with a knife, "Delicious Wine Shop". The lights in the wine shop were dim, but there were many people sitting on each table and chair, high and low, thin and fat, all with their backs facing Lu Lie outside the door, motionless, as if they were patiently waiting for the food to be served.
"Huh, this street is empty, and there are so many people in this little liquor store?"
Lu Lie was so vigilant that he was suspicious in his heart, and his foot that stepped over the door railing was retracted. The thief sneaked into the wine shop and looked at it a few times, and suddenly found that which of those backs were living people?
Just look closely, the stone carving is too realistic. On men, women, and children, the filament-like hair, the folds rolled up at the corners of the clothes, and the bulging wraps around the waists are all lifelike, as if they were alive.
It's not like the craftsmanship of the devil, it seems to be ...... The shell of a living human being was covered in a layer of stone sand.
Lu Lie felt a chill in his heart, took a few steps back, and glanced at the dark place on the inside of the wine shop.
Before he left the alley, the little boy's frightened tone sounded in his ears again, "You got there, and you opened a liquor store, and you should be ...... It's still a normal person's drive. ”
"The city is accelerating alienation!"
In the depths of the wine shop, surrounded by many stone people, Lu Lie found the back of a living person. The man was unusually tall and burly, and his two large arms alone took up a position. Dahan was also in the same posture as other stone people, with his back to Lu Lie, looking at the direction of the back kitchen of the wine shop, motionless.
Lu Lie always felt that the man's back was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it. When his gaze moved to the shocking scar on his neck, Lu Lie's heart sank slightly, and he subconsciously blurted out:
"Yang Wei?!"
When the big man heard someone shouting at him, he turned his head among the many stone people and glanced at Lu Lie, this person was Yang Wei.
Suddenly, dozens of thoughts instantly poured into Lu Lie's mind, how did he untie the ropes? Why was he here? What was he waiting for here? What was the use of so many stone people? Thousands of doubts made Lu Lie at a loss, no matter how smart he was, he would never be able to figure out what was going on.
At this time, Yang Wei also saw Lu Lie. The changes in the expression on his face were no worse than those of Lu Lie, from shock, to fear, to anxiety, and anger, jumping out of his face one by one in order.
"Don't come in!" Yang Wei lowered his voice and shouted angrily to Lu Lie, "Don't come in!"
The interior of the liquor shop was dimly lit, and Lu Lie couldn't see it clearly. At this time, Yang Wei's situation was really strange, his upper body tried his best to turn to face Lu Lie, but the lower half of his body was still fixed on the seat, as if his butt and the wooden chair were connected together. And his tone was excited and anxious, obviously wanting to roar loudly, but he forced himself to lower his voice. Such as...... In fear that his loud voice woke up something in the depths of the liquor store.
Although Lu Lie didn't know what to do, he stopped at the door. He gestured to him not to panic yet, and asked back in the same low voice, "What's the situation?" ”
"I don't know! This is a damn place!" Yang Wei glanced back at the depths of the liquor shop, and then turned around and told Lu Lie, "This place is very evil! It seems to have a strange rule, if a living person comes in, as long as they stay in it for more than an hour, they will turn into stone people...... My feet and ass seem to be petrified!"
Lu Lie understood half of it in his heart, so many stone people were probably adventurers who had come here before. However, he was still a little puzzled: "Then why don't you come out yet!"
"Good boy! This is the insidious thing about this black shop!" Yang Wei was so angry that he lightly slammed the table with his fist, "Once you come in, if you want to get out, you have to trick another person in!
Lu Lie's heart jumped slightly, if it was really as he said, then if he stepped into the wine shop like this just now, then Yang Wei would be able to go out in a risk.
It seems that he would rather just become a stone sculpture than frame himself.
This is in line with Yang Wei's bold and righteous character along the way.
However, isn't this contradictory to the sinister and fickle character that I saw in the space-time wall before?
Could it be that I blame him now?
It was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood for a while, Lu Lie looked at Yang Wei in front of him and fell into deep thought.
