Chapter 25: The Companions (2)

The other party stretched out his hand towards Jiang Mian, looking like he wanted to introduce himself to each other.

Seeing that the other party handed him his left hand, Jiang Mian, who subconsciously stretched out his right hand, quickly changed sides embarrassedly, and then shook the other party vigorously.

"Jiang Mian, hydraulic Jiang, the crown of the crown."

Pei Xing nodded, and then the two sat down on the sofa in the room.

There was not much silence, and then he continued to answer Jiang Mian's question:

"I've been here for a long time, combing through the scenes I've seen before, little by little, it may seem too modest to say this, but my memory is really good."

Pei Xingyi paused a little when he said this, as if he was organizing the language, and then continued:

"People who have become 'those things' will have their shadows from time to time and will not be able to keep up with the movements of the body, which is their characteristic that I have summarized from my memory."

Jiang Mian was a little surprised, and subconsciously opened his mouth wide.

"Huh? Can you find out about this? ”

"So, I think my memory is pretty good, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to study medicine."

"What else? Anything else to discover? ”

Seeing that he had gained a new way of distinguishing, Jiang Mian asked with some eagerness.

"I just told you about my discovery, but what about yours?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mian scratched the back of his head embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, I wandered all night, and I guess my brain was a little frozen, and I forgot that this is also intelligence sharing."

Jiang Mian sighed, and then continued to speak:

"I've actually found something out of it, and I think 'they' should all have a process of change."

"How?"

"I think it's an 'adaptation,' they're getting used to the human body and memory."

"In the beginning, they were like zombies or dolls, as you said in the post, sluggish, wooden, crazy and illogical. But over time, they quickly become accustomed to manipulating human bodies, and are even able to read human memories, which feels like..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Mian recalled the uncle next door who was standing outside the door at that time, and licked his slightly dry lips with some fear, and then he remembered that he hadn't drunk water for nearly half a day.

"It's like a perfect ghost body."

Pei Xingyi helped him summarize his speech, then picked up the electric kettle at hand and poured a glass of water for Jiang Mian.

"Although I guessed something before...... But it seems that my parents have really lost their luck. ”

Jiang Mian looked at Pei Xingyi's expression a little lonely, and then recalled what he had seen in the post, in the building where Pei Xingyi lived, his parents had already ......

I don't know what happened to my parents now, I hope this doesn't happen in my hometown.

Jiang Mian thought with some concern, he began to regret that he didn't go home for the New Year this year.

"You haven't eaten all this time, why don't you go to the restaurant downstairs to eat a little first, it's just time for lunch."

Pei Xingyi got up from the sofa, and then asked Jiang Mian, "I don't think they should find this place so quickly." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Mian nodded bitterly:

"But it's so miserable, my psychological quality is really far inferior to yours, I was scared at the time, I didn't dare to contact other people at all, I only dared to run hard, and finally hid in a park where no one went, stayed all night, and almost didn't freeze to death."

"It's not that my mental quality is good, I really thought I was crazy at the time, which is completely contrary to the education I have received over the years."

Pei Xingyi walked out of the room with Jiang Mian, as if he remembered something again, and then added:

"There was another discovery just now that I didn't say."

"What is it?"

Jiang Mian asked very curiously, at this moment, intelligence was even more important to him than food.

"I think they're afraid of light."

Pei Xingyi said in a somewhat deep tone:

"Of course, this is just my personal speculation at the moment, because I see those empty rooms, all with the lights on, and they like to move in the dimly lit hallway, or simply in the dark."

"So I think that even if they are not afraid of light, they must have some connection with the light source."

"It does ......"

Jiang Mian recalled the dim light outside his hallway, and then he also recognized it.

In front of him, Pei Xingyi, who was walking in front like a brother, made Jiang Mian feel a sense of security that he had not felt for a long time, different from the situation when he was sitting in that cold corner, this sense of security was real.

Walking all the way to the lobby of the hotel, the front desk staff had left their workstations at some point.

But the two didn't think much about it, and still walked in the direction of the restaurant.

"By the way, I ...... this hand"

Jiang Mian, who was thinking about it and hadn't charged his phone yet, hadn't finished speaking.

A very loud "bang"!

made the two of them shiver subconsciously.

The hotel's heavy double-opening doors closed very abruptly!

As the light sources dimmed one by one, the lobby of the hotel suddenly fell into an extremely dim situation......

"Here we go again!"

Jiang Mian was suddenly shocked, and his heart rate rose rapidly.

But Pei Xingyi, who was beside him, immediately reacted: "Hurry up!" This hotel has a back door! ”

After speaking, he didn't care whether Jiang Mian had reacted or not, and began to rush in the other direction.

Seeing this, Jiang Mian immediately moved his thighs, which were about to be paralyzed, and did his best to follow behind Pei Xingyi.

Rushing out of the back door of the hotel, Jiang Mian, who realized that it was noon at the moment, was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw that the figures behind him instantly overlapped from the back door of the hotel, and pressed over, and the wooden faces seemed to indicate that this part of the group had just been "put on the body".

But it doesn't matter what the answer to the question of whether they've just been topped or not, because it doesn't affect how quickly those things can catch up with them.

"Don't you say, are they afraid of light?!"

Jiang Mian immediately pulled out his legs and ran wildly.

"I'm just speculating! Also, it's possible that it's a snowy day and the light is not enough! ”

Pei Xingyi also seemed to be shocked, but the movements on his legs never slowed down.

The two of them ran wildly with all their might, running a distance of almost two kilometers in one go.

"They...... It seems to have slowed down. ”

Jiang Mian was already a little out of breath, and he began to feel a sweet taste in his throat as he was much worse than Pei Xingyi, but he saw that the group of things behind him did seem to be gradually becoming weaker in the sun.

However, within seconds, another group of non-human beings appeared from various dark places, stepping on the shadow of the building and rushing towards them like crazy.

"Just kidding!"

Jiang Mian, who had just relieved himself for a few breaths, immediately had to speed up the pace of running again.

Pei Xingyi's condition was not very good, although he did not reduce his running speed, the big gasp of air still showed that his physical strength had decreased significantly.

Both of them began to realize that they would never be able to get out of this way.

"Do you remember what I said in my post?!"

Pei Xingyi shouted loudly to Jiang Mian while running.

"What do you mean...... Target...... Miscellaneous...... What? ”

Jiang Mian, who was out of breath, didn't understand what the other party was trying to express at all.

"I said, when they were in my building, although there were a lot of them, they only knocked on one door after another, do you know what I mean?!"

"Understood...... Got it. ”

Jiang Mian's reaction was not slow, he recalled the content of those posts that he had read many times and had already memorized by heart, and then a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and he immediately spoke:

"They...... You can only focus on one goal at a time! ”

Seeing that Jiang Mian reacted, Pei Xingyi turned sideways and nodded during the run, and then said:

"After the next intersection, we will go our separate ways, and each one will have their luck! If you're lucky enough to survive, use the forum to get in touch! ”

"Good! Wrong...... My phone ......"

Jiang Mian suddenly remembered what he wanted to say before, but the reality seemed to be unbearable.

In front of them, a three-way intersection soon appeared, and the two of them chose one of the directions to flee one of them.
