Compared to the streets, the alleys are unusually quiet. Mo Liang stood at the door of the hut and knocked twice on the locked door, and said, "It's me." ”

After a brief silence, the door opened, revealing Baozi's terrified face. When she saw Mo Liang, she threw herself into his arms.

"I hear those voices outside. Baozi said with a sob.

Mo Liang patted her on the back, "It's okay." The body in his arms trembled slightly, and it was so weak that it made people feel distressed. He cupped the bun's cheek, looked at the bun and said, "Let's go, let's get out of here right away." ”

Baozi answered, and then quickly went into the house and quickly took a few things and stuffed them into the package, which were the xylophones and jewelry that Mo Liang bought for her. The silk garment had been worn by her.

Mo Liang took the bun and walked in the direction of leaving the city. The originally closed city gate has long since disappeared from any trace of the garrison. The people who were going out of the city blocked the gates of the city. Several wagons lay sideways, their axles broken, and countless goods scattered to the ground.

"Let me go first, let me go first. "You damn filthy bastards, don't step on my cargo. These are worth more than your lives. Several merchants shouted loudly around the carriage, waving their fists at the rushing men. But no one paid any attention to him, and people pushed me through the cracks in the carriage and climbed over the piles of goods. A few merchants had to stop it, but they were quickly overthrown to the ground, and then it became a stepping stone to the surging crowd, and there was no sound.

Mo Liang and Baozi were squeezed at the end of the line, and when they looked up, they could only see the crowd of people, not knowing how many people were in front, how long the line was, and how far away the city gate was. All you can do is wait.

As time passed, through the expressions of the people around him, Mo Liang could clearly see that the panic was spreading step by step. People go crazy and rush forward, knowing that there is no space in front of them. There are constantly people who fall in the surging crowd and then get submerged. Mo Liang held the bun in his arms, and his shoulders and elbows stretched outward, like a lonely boat in the midst of a huge wave.

When a corpse smashed into the crowd, the wave reached its climax.

The corpse landed on people's shoulders and heads, and only half of their hands and feet remained, as if they had been torn apart. Mo Liang's eyes were meeting him. It was a pair of immature, somewhat familiar eyes, revealing unwillingness and disbelief.

Mo Liang recognized him as the immature guard who had persuaded people to flee before. The bun in her arms let out a scream, and Mo Liang hurriedly covered her eyes. This was the first time Baozi had seen someone who had died so tragically, and Mo Liang could feel her trembling uncontrollably.

At this moment, even more frightened cries rang out one after another. A lot of people were looking in the same direction. Following their gaze, Moria saw a half-human, half-spider monster emerge from across the street, rapidly crawling towards the people.

The monster's upper body resembles a woman's, and its lower body has four pairs of long legs. At her waist, a spiral-shaped hole sometimes closes and sometimes opens. When the distance between the crowd and the monster was shortened to a certain extent, I saw a tongue quickly stretched out from the mouth of the monster's waist and whipped a man not far away, swallowing him into the hole.

When the man's body was completely submerged, the hole immediately closed and then the whole thing began to squirm. During this time, the spider monster stopped advancing, as if digesting the man. After a while, viscous juice can be seen flowing out of the hole.

The few at the end of the line did not choose to sit still, but scattered and hid in the houses and alleys on the side of the street. But most of them did nothing but shrink back in vain, like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, exhausted by fear.

Mural was one of those few. He hid in the alley with the bun and walked all the way deeper into the alley. Behind them, more dark shadows leaped into the crowd's round gaze. Although Mo Liang didn't look back, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind, countless chickens, ducks, cows and sheep in a huge slaughterhouse looked at him pitifully.

Mo Liang was not safe from this. Monsters don't just appear on the streets, they come out from all directions. All sorts, mocking people's imaginations. Among them, only some of them will hurt people, and there are also many vultures and chaos passing by the crowd.

They had not gone far in the alley when they heard a noise ahead.

"Mom, where are you? I hear you. Accompanied by the immature child's voice, a ball more than half a person high appeared in the alley. It screamed as it rolled towards Mora.

The ball rolled very fast, until it was two steps in front of Mo Liang before stopping, only to see a child's immature face growing on the ball. The face looked at Mo Liang and Baozi, and then asked, "Big brother, big sister, have you seen my mother?"

Mo Liang protected the bun behind him and raised the knife forward with one hand. After a while, seeing that the monster didn't mean to attack them, but just stared at him as if waiting for him to answer, he slowly shook his head and said, "I didn't see it." ”

Hearing Mo Liang's answer, the child's face darkened suddenly, and it ignored the two of them, and continued to roll forward slowly, while muttering to himself, "I can't find my mother anymore, I can always hear my mother's voice, but I just can't see her." ”

Mo Liang and Baozi stepped aside to make way for the monster. "Mommy, where the hell are you?" the child still murmured. As it rolled past the two of them, another small voice came.

"Son, Mommy is here. ”

Mo Liang and Baozi followed the sound, and on the other side of the ball, there was a female face.

"Where are you, child? I can't see you. The woman's face asked, worried.

"Mom, I'm here. I'm so scared, come here. ”

The mother heard the child's voice, and her eyes moved around anxiously, but she couldn't see anyone. "Don't be afraid, child, mom is coming here, coming here. ”

The voices of the mother and child alternate on either side of the ball.

"Mom..."

"Child..."

Mother and child, who grew on both sides of the ball, kept asking where each other was, and then rolled forward endlessly until they disappeared.

Mo Liang took the bun and hid in an abandoned hut deep in the alley. The two locked the door, closed the window, sat down next to each other, and listened silently to the movement outside. Between them and the city gate, there were many creatures as strange as the ball.

"Where did these monsters come from?" asked Baozi. Mo Liang shook his head, just hugged the bun and said, "Don't be afraid, with me here, I will definitely take you out." ”。

"Hmm. Baozi hugged Mo Liang tightly and said, "I'm not afraid." She took out two buns from her body and handed them a Mo Liang. It wasn't all lies, she was a little scared at first, but now she's settled.

"I'll show you something. ”。 Mo Liang took out the golden ball and put it in front of the bun. Baozi was taken aback. "You got it back?"

"yes. Mo Liang said, but when he saw the expression of the bun, he asked, "What, are you unhappy?"

Baozi looked at the golden ball and muttered his head, "I don't know, it's just that I always feel uncomfortable looking at this thing." ”

"Fool. Mo Liang hugged the bun and said, "It's all money." When we get out, I'll trade it for money. When the time comes, we will find a place where there is no war, buy a big house, and live a peaceful and stable life, without worrying about food and clothing, how good you say. ”

Bunzi's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Of course it's true, I'm afraid you don't want to. Mo Liang said. "Yes, yes. Ten thousand willing. Baozi hurriedly said. The two looked at the golden ball, wandering in the fantasy of the future, forgetting for a moment the desperate situation they were in at the moment.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a strange sound outside the house, from far and near. Then there was the sound of fingernails scratching across the board. The strange sound circled the room and finally landed on the door panel, where it came to an abrupt end. Mo Liang gestured to the bun, stood up quietly, and walked around the door to raise the black knife. For a moment, both of them held their breath.

With a thud, the door opened. Standing in the doorway was not a monster, but a scarred Handel. At his feet lay a lizard-like monster. Mo Liang was about to make a move, when several clouds of red liquid had wrapped around his hands and neck, making him unable to move.

"I've finally found you. At such a time, Handel could actually laugh. Baozi pinched a stone in his hand and was about to rush up, but he was also caught by him.

"Alright, there's no time, give me the golden ball. ”

Mo Liang's hands were trapped and helpless. He looked at the struggling bun and said to Handel, "You send us out of the city, and I'll give you the golden ball." Handel frowned, but he said "Okay." ”

He let go of Mora and exited the room. Mo Liang and Baozi walked out the door and saw a red night sky above the eaves.

"For your own sake, I advise you not to do anything stupid. Handel said.

He let Mo Liang and Baozi next to his body and put his hands on his back. Mo Liang put his hand on his back nervously, not knowing what he was going to do for a while. The city is full of monsters, and although the northerners in front of him have some magical methods, in Mo Liang's opinion, they may not be able to kill all the way.

I only heard Handel say, "Hold on." With his body as the center, a red ball swelled violently, and the sphere continued to expand, pulling Mo Liang and Baozi inside. When the ball wrapped the three of them, it slowly sank into the sky like a balloon.

Baozi couldn't help but let out a sigh, it was the first time she had seen such a magical view. As the sphere rose into the air, the ground grew farther and farther away, and the houses fell to their feet and became tiny. At the light, you can also see people fleeing in a hurry.

"Can't you go and save them?" Baozi couldn't bear to watch those people gradually being devoured by the monster, and said to Handel.

"I'm not omnipotent. Handel said with a gloomy expression. He turned his head to look at Mo Liang, "I don't know if you understand that it's all because of the golden ball in your hand. It's not as simple as it seems. Hand over the Golden Ball for your own good. ”

Mo Liang nodded noncommittally. He didn't look at his feet, just hugged the bun tightly.
