Chapter 15: Innocent Victims

Looking at the shadow devouring ants surging in front of him like a tide, Qin Ran also panicked for a while, so he had to be carried by Zhang Zhen three times and ran towards the mouth of the alley together. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ant colony that smelled Qin Ran's smell instantly became even crazier than before. The hissing sound came and went, and in the quiet street at night, the sound spread far away. The hungry ants kept biting each other's tentacles during the march to stimulate more powerful motivation, because of the mutual biting, some weak ants were quickly dismembered by their companions, and the corpses were instantly gnawed clean by the moving ants.

"Damn, they still eat their own companions?" Qin Ran turned his head and looked at the stumps of many ants left behind the path passed by the ant colony, forming an obvious black line behind him.

"It's so much of a deal, let's run away first. Zhang Zhensan looked at his incomplete shadow on the ground, sighed deeply, but did not dare to slow down in the slightest.

Lin Zi was frightened by the scene in front of him because he was relatively young, and he was frightened by the scene in front of him after running a few steps, and gradually fell behind Qin Ran and Zhang Zhensan, looking back, seeing the ant colony that was getting closer and closer to him, Lin Zi didn't mention how panicked he was, he kicked his pants up, and hurriedly shouted to the two people in front: "Brother, you two wait for me, I can't run anymore!!" shouted, with an expression of wanting to cry without tears.

Qin Ran looked back at Lin Hui, quickly stopped, turned around, came to him in a few steps, reached out and grabbed Lin Hui's arm, "Quick! Follow me!" glanced at his pants, revealing a strange look.

"Well, let's go. Seeing Qin Ran who appeared in front of him, Lin Hui felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, and then took a step forward and strode forward. A wet liquid slowly flowed from the trouser leg, leaving it where it had stopped.

"You are ... Scared to pee?!" Qin Ran pulled Lin Hui, looked at the wet mark on his pants, held it for a long time, and finally squeezed out this sentence.

"It's not a nervousness, it's ... I couldn't care about it, so I just covered my trouser leg with my hand, and then shook the liquid in the palm of my hand to my side.

"Where the are you going to throw it! Take your hands off the dots. Qin Ran saw the urine that almost dripped on his body, and scolded Lin Hui.

Zhang Zhensan, who ran to the front, didn't care about Lin Zi's life or death, but because after being eaten by ants, he panicked and ran forward, not noticing what was happening behind him, until Qin Ran scolded Lin Hui loudly just now, Zhang Zhensan realized that the two had fallen behind.

Zhang Zhensan looked back cautiously, but still held back the panic and fear in his heart, stopped, and turned back towards Qin Ran. As soon as he turned around, he glanced at the black and oppressive ant colony, and just raised his eyes like this, a detail of the ant colony behind him attracted Zhang Zhensan's attention, and his pace couldn't help but slow down.

"Hey, you guys take a look behind you!" Zhang Zhensan was still a certain distance away from the two, and shouted at the two of them at the top of his voice.

"Huh?" Hearing Zhang Zhensan shouting like this, Qin Ran hurriedly let go of Lin Hui's arm, and gasped to the side in disgust, "Take your hand away, the smell of urine in one hand!" Then he raised his eyes and looked in the direction that Zhang Zhensan said.

"Oh?" Qin Ran looked at the scene in front of him and seemed to think of something. I saw that the black and oppressive ant colony, when passing by the place where Lin Hui left the urine, it was a little lost, and some ants hurriedly bypassed the place filled with the strong smell of urine, and crawled to the lawn next to it, and the urine on the ground was used as the boundary, which actually formed a natural barrier, hindering the speed of some of the shadow devouring ant colonies.

"It's an ant after all, no matter what he eats. After all, I'm still afraid of water. Zhang Zhensan, who walked next to Qin Ran, said this sentence leisurely, because it was far away, Zhang Zhensan didn't know what the liquid on the ground was.

"Hmm, what kind of smell?" The suspicious Zhang Zhensan looked around, saw Lin Hui standing aside, embarrassed by his pants, and found the source of the smell.

"Hurry up, pee here for me!" he said, pointing in the direction of the colony, "Hurry up, or the ants will follow in a while." As he spoke, he pulled Lin Hui to his side. Pinching his nose and shouting to him, "You should hurry up, don't ink anymore!"

"I, I, I, can't pee! I've finished urinating just now!" Lin Hui was shouted by Zhang Zhensan, and his heart was also very nervous, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, the square bottle placed in the center of the table, the bottle lit up with a dazzling light, as if it was about to break through the encirclement of the bottle, and the eyes of the pangolin head slowly turned from light red to dark red, becoming like the blood color of the bottle. In the open mouth of the pangolin, dark ants began to pour out one after another, following the marks left by the previous ant colony, and kept attacking Qin Ran and Zhang Zhensan's side, and most of the ants in the ant colony swirled in place for a while, and with the enhancement of the light of the square bottle, slowly, they all found their original direction of progress, and hissed like a tide.

"You kid, the critical moment is to drop the chain! You don't pee, I'll pee!" Zhang Zhensan spoke, hurriedly preparing to untie his pants, seeing the ant colony that was more fierce than before, Zhang Zhensan's hands couldn't help but start shaking, and it didn't seem very neat to untie the belt.

"Qin Ran, hurry up, you come too!" While unleashing his belt and looking at the gradually approaching ant colony, Zhang Zhensan was about to jump up. While anxiously pulling Qin Ran over.

"Get your dirty hands away! I've got a solution. Qin Ran looked at the approaching ant colony in front of him calmly, looking confident.

"What's the solution?" As soon as he heard that there was a solution, Zhang Zhensan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled up the pants he had just taken off, and tightened the belt tightly.

"An ant is an ant after all, even if he eats shadows, can he go to the sky?!" The corners of Qin Ran's mouth rose slightly, revealing a calm smile. "Don't worry, look at me. ”

As he spoke, Qin Ran took out the rubbing stone around his neck, the rubbing stone under the moonlight was extremely transparent, and the moon in the sky, through the rubbing, made a beautiful shadow on the ground. Qin Ran stabilized his mind, glanced at the shadow under his feet, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes looked firmly at the approaching ant colony, and he didn't panic at all. At this moment, the black shadow under Qin Ran's feet suddenly moved quickly towards the ant colony in front of him.

Smelling the smell of the approaching shadow, the ant colony seemed to be crazy, and suddenly became manic, and there were ants in the ant colony who rushed out of the formation and swooped towards the shadow on Qin Ran's ground.

"Quick, get out of the way, get out of the way of the fire hydrant on the lawn next to you!" Qin Ran shouted to Zhang Zhensan, who was stunned, Zhang Zhensan heard this, immediately looked behind him, and then subconsciously took a step to the side. The fire hydrant behind him was completely exposed in front of Qin Ran.

Immediately after, Qin Ran manipulated his shadow to form a huge black carpet in front of him, waiting for the crazy ant colony that was rapidly approaching.

The several ants led by each other bit each other fiercely on their tentacles, which instantly caused the hissing sound of the ant colony behind them to become more intense, desperately pounced on Qin Ran's shadow, and was just about to bite to his heart's content, Qin Ran's shadow instantly took a step back, from both sides of the black carpet, suddenly stretched out two thick arms, and quickly formed a black ring that bites each other, constantly stirring the ant colony, the shadow's powerful arms, in the ant colony, a burst of clouds and rain, the part of the ants around the dizzy, lost in place for a moment。

"Now is it. Qin Ran looked at the situation in front of him, and quickly waved his hand, and the black on the ground quickly moved to the fire hydrant behind Zhang Zhensan. As soon as the black shadow hit it hard, the fire hydrant immediately broke into several pieces, and the water column soared into the sky, constantly gushing out of the crack, and the huge pressure made the water splash, and the water flying out obliquely hit Zhang Zhensan's body with a faint pain.

"Damn, you're too sudden. Zhang Zhensan, who was a few meters away, was still nourished by the high-pressure water.

Qin Ran ignored Zhang Zhensan's complaints, and still looked at his shadow with a resolute expression. On the other side, the ant colony, which was a little dazed by the shadow's arm, gradually regained its sense of direction, and the hissing sounds resounded one after another. Before the ant colony could launch a further offensive, Qin Ran's shadow suddenly pounced on the fire hydrant that was bubbling with a column of water, and the huge black shadow pressed it to death, leaving only a very narrow slit facing the marching ant colony.

After the ruptured fire hydrant was tightly wrapped by the black shadow, under the action of the huge water pressure, the water column was like an untamable beast, constantly pushing up Qin Ran's shadow, and Qin Ran reserved a crack in the direction of the ant colony in advance, which became an incision for high-pressure water eruption, and in an instant, the water as fierce as a flood sprayed out with full power along the designated direction.

The sudden high-pressure water was about to disperse the roaring ant colony in an instant, and countless ants kept struggling in the water, bravely trying to jump out of the beach, but the pressure of the water was too great, and the black pressure of the ant colony was out of order in an instant.

The ants that kept coming behind sensed the great power of the water in front of them, and they no longer fearlessly ventured to approach Qin Ran and the others, the ants touched each other's tentacles, and after a period of chaos, the ants that pounced one after another had to escape from the lawn next to them.

"How? Ants are just ants. Qin Ran looked at the various miserable ants in front of him with some contempt, turned his head, and smiled proudly at Zhang Zhensan.

"Your shadow, how... Lin Hui, who had been standing on the side for a long time without speaking, saw Qin Ran manipulating his shadow and skillfully completing the previous series of incredible movements, so he had to say such a sentence in a daze. "Brother, your shadow too. Turning his head, he saw Zhang Zhensan's shadow covered with fine holes all over his body, and then looked at his own shadow, and his surprised expression couldn't be dispersed for a long time, as if he didn't know the world anymore.

"Hey, I'll explain to you in a moment, go and help. Zhang Zhensan took off his clothes, let them soak through the water, and then held one end of the cuff, and threw the other end to the ant colony remaining in the grass.

Lin Hui came to his senses, took off his clothes, followed Zhang Zhensan's example, and drove away the arrogant ants in the distance.

After a while, under the pressure of strong water pressure, the black oppressive shadow devouring ant colony was finally dispersed, and the remaining ants quickly disappeared into the surrounding black and disappeared without a trace.

Qin Ran looked at the disappearing ant colony, and didn't care about the stagnant water on the ground, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, the first time he controlled the shadow for such a long time, it consumed a lot of his physical strength, and the water wet Qin Ran's pants and clothes, revealing perfect muscle lines.

"Haha, you're not like me, wetting your pants. Seeing that there were no more ants, Lin Hui actually ran in front of Qin Ran and grimaced.

"A child is a child. Qin Ran shook his head helplessly in the face of the somewhat naïve teenager in front of him, and smiled slightly.

Qin Ran turned his head and saw Zhang Zhensan squatting on the ground, supported the ground with his hands, struggled to stand up, breathed a sigh of relief, walked in front of Zhang Zhensan, looked at the incomplete shadow under him, and looked at Zhang Zhensan's expression.

"How's it going? ”

Zhang Zhensan scratched his head, reached out and took a handful of water on the ground, poured it on his face, and did not wipe the water that was still flowing down his cheeks, and looked at Qin Ran with a suspicious face, "This is exactly what I wondered." Zhang Zhensan paused and touched his chest, "I don't feel any other reaction except for being a little tired." You say, why did this menacing ant eat my shadow?"

"I don't know, but we'd better be careful, it's not like you haven't seen that there are so many ants running away. ”

The two looked into the distance, and always felt that there was a sense of crisis hidden in the darkness around them.

In the square bottle in the store, the mouth of the pangolin is still open hideously, and ants continue to crawl out of it, and the pangolin's eyes are lit up, as if they are issuing some signal, and the ants crawling out of the room are crawling out directly along the window of the room, without making too many stops. After a few moments, the Quartet returned to its calm.

"That's right!" Zhang Zhensan suddenly jumped up and pulled Qin Ran towards the store.

"That's the hell of this! See if I don't smash it!" Zhang Zhensan rushed straight to the back room, slammed open the door, turned on the light, and looked at the square bottle in front of him, his eyes were full of bloodshots. "Damn, don't stop me, I'm going to smash it!"

Qin Ran stood aside, didn't speak, and didn't mean to stop him, just crossed his hands on his chest, and saw Zhang Zhensan a little embarrassed.

"You really won't stop me?" Zhang Zhensan turned his head, his eyes were a little innocent, although this square bottle did release a large swarm of ants, but if Zhang Zhensan wanted to smash such a Lang Yaohong boutique with his own hands, he really couldn't do it.

Seeing Zhang Zhensan's thoughts, Qin Ran didn't want to say much. "Otherwise, don't you have a sealed glass display case in your store, put it inside, and if it releases something other strange, we should prepare in advance. "Actually, Qin Ran had other plans in his heart, and when he didn't figure out the ins and outs of the matter, he rashly smashed this square bottle, which was obviously a not very wise choice.

It wasn't until later that Qin Ran realized how foolish his current decision was.

Qin Ran and Lin Hui helped Zhang Zhensan together, put the square bottle into the sealed cabinet, took a black cloth, covered it, and then pushed the sealed cabinet to a corner of the store's warehouse and kept it.

After all this, it was almost dawn, and the three of them were frightened all night, and now they could finally sleep well, they went to the hall, each found a relatively comfortable position, and fell asleep.

Bang bang, a quick knock on the door woke Qin Ran and Zhang Zhensan up, and Xiao Linzi on the side still slept soundly, not affected at all.

"When is it? You're still sleeping?"

"Who?!" Zhang Zhensan was still lying on the sofa, not getting up, just lazily answering the person outside the door.

"Hurry up, open the door! It's me, Liang Bolun! Hurry up!" Officer Liang outside the door looked very anxious, and kept pounding on the glass door of the store.

"Oh, here, here. Zhang Zhensan was still sleepy-eyed, staggered to the door and opened the door.

"Morning. Old Liang. As he spoke, he still couldn't stop snorting.

"Call you, but don't answer, let's see, something is wrong!" Liang Bolun then walked to the lobby, in front of the TV on the wooden counter.

Hearing Liang Bolun's serious tone, Zhang Zhensan instantly became a lot more energetic, and pulled Qin Ran to the TV.

"Let's take a look. ”

"Pick up the latest news from my station, earlier today, many citizens in our city called, saying that they found a strange phenomenon, many people's shadows in the sunlight, appear incomplete, most of the people in this situation, the shadow is full of irregular holes, as if they were bitten by something unknown. Let's take a look at the front report sent back by the reporter. The TV screen jumps, and in the picture, an old man with gray hair is talking to the camera about what happened to him, and the camera moves down, focusing on the mutilated shadow in the morning light.

"At present, there are no reports of any adverse reactions except for easy tiredness, and relevant experts are urgently studying countermeasures and the causes of them. We will continue to pay attention to this matter later. The announcer said in a straight voice.

Hearing these words, Qin Ran and Zhang Zhensan felt that their minds were blank. Unexpectedly, my actions last night inadvertently became the culprit of others.

Just when several people looked at each other, Zhang Zhensan felt that a burst of white light suddenly flashed in front of him, and he collapsed to the ground and fainted.
