Chapter 21 Envelopes
Those beasts moved silently, and Su Mengfan was unaware.
But sensing their arrival, some kind of bestial instinct—subway life has made it more acute—Su Mengfan opened his eyes suddenly.
A group of stray dogs with open skin and festering bodies had surrounded Su Mengfan and Artyom, and were approaching them step by step.
Su Mengfan and Artyom have nowhere to run, and they don't have time to run.
Seeing their eyes, Su Mengfan knew that they were not afraid of me and would not listen to me.
It wasn't like now, when there weren't so many sick, deformed animals walking around on the ground.
Lucky for these wild dogs, they smelled us.
They must swallow me as soon as possible before hunger drives them to kill each other.
"Shoot!" Su Mengfan shouted at Artyom in front, "You have a gun!" ”
Artyom immediately came to his senses, aimed his binoculars at the largest beast, and pulled the trigger.
The firing pin made a soft sound, and the gun was jammed. I tried again, but it still didn't sound, and it seems that the bullet was damp.
A dog turned around and walked towards Su Mengfan.
"Hurry up!" Artyom exclaimed, "Don't run, it will pounce on your ......"
Su Mengfan found that his body ran directly towards Artem, protecting Artyom like a hen protecting her child.
Artyom glanced at Su Mengfan in disbelief, but Su Mengfan just smiled at the little boy and didn't speak.
The beasts crawled towards Su Mengfan, their bellies close to the ground, and they were ready to pounce.
Su Mengfan thought that the two little boys were about to be eaten by those hungry stray dogs, and felt pity in his heart, and he couldn't bear to see the bloody scene......
The hungry dog pounced on Su Mengfan, and its yellow fangs were aimed at Su Mengfan's throat.
The other wild dogs were also ready, and they just waited for the leader to pounce on Su Mengfan and then rushed up.
Su Mengfan felt that his death was approaching, and the end was approaching.
Suddenly there was a scream!
The hungry dog flew in the air, and its huge body suddenly went limp, lost consciousness, and fell heavily one step away from the two little boys.
It clamped its tail, wailed, and stepped back...... Su Mengfan turned around and couldn't help but tremble.
Behind Su Mengfan, there was a huge dark figure.
Su Mengfan felt grabbed by a primitive, indescribable sense of fear, but at this time he protected the ...... above his head
Could it be its hands?
Then, its other hand was also put up - Su Mengfan tried to leave, but the long steel needle-like fingers firmly covered Su Mengfan's head, making Su Mengfan unable to move.
Instantly understood: I'm done.
Suddenly, the pain and fear were gone, melting, like sugar dissolved in hot tea.
The mad dogs ran away, one was so frightened that it pooped, and the other convulsed.
They no longer cared about Su Mengfan and Artyom, and only cared about getting out.
Su Mengfan slowly raised his eyes and looked at the incredible creature that was protecting him and the little boy.
{Dark}......
It stood on two feet, two heads taller than the tallest adult Su Mengfan had ever seen.
Its skin was as black as a tunnel, and its round, unblinking eyes had no whites, but the eyes were more sane than many lucky creatures with whites.
Undoubtedly, it is not a beast, it is not a monster.
Standing in front of Su Mengfan is a person.
"He" looked at Su Mengfan with those strange eyes.
In the eyes of "him", the person standing in front of "him" is also a "dark clan" person.
He's funny, small, unruly, clumsy, and comes from that stupid world.
He is a stranger to the land and the whole world, he is abandoned, and he does not know how to send people under the fence.
He was an orphan.
I saw that the Dark Clan put a glowing thing in Su Mengfan's hand.
That dark clan man took pity on Su Mengfan.
not only pity Su Mengfan, but also praise Su Mengfan.
Then he turned to Su Mengfan and said, "Alcohen......"
When Su Mengfan heard this, he felt his body tremble.
And the voice reappeared.
"Alcoen ......"
And this time the voice made Su Mengfan feel very familiar, as if he had heard it there, as if someone had called his name a few minutes ago.
"Alcohen." Strange voices were still calling him.
Su Mengfan found that the figure of the dark clan in front of him slowly disappeared, but what appeared in front of him was rows of bookshelves, and there was an inexplicably folded cardboard in his hand.
Just as Su Mengfan was about to open it, he heard someone call his name again.
"Alcohen."
And this voice is no longer the kind of mysterious, more like someone shouting about everything.
It's the Thatch who suddenly disappeared!
So Su Mengfan put the cardboard in his backpack and put it with the card he had found from Tyne.
Then hold on to the punch. The spear poked towards the source of the sound.
Su Mengfan took another step and glanced to the right, feeling his hair stand on end.
Rows of bookshelves stopped here, forming a niche, and Thatch sat on the floor, slumped in a pool of blood.
His helmet and gas mask were torn and he lay on the floor a few steps away.
Although his face was as dead as ashes, his eyes were still conscious, and his lips were trying to make a sound.
Behind him, a raised gray creature was hidden, half of its body not in the shadows.
A long, bony hand, covered with steel-hairy silver-gray hair, without claws, but a strong, hairy real hand.
He was musing the flashlight that had fallen on the floor and was now lying on the floor half a meter away from Thatch.
The other hand was buried deep in Thatch's torn stomach.
"You're here." Thatch made a faint sound.
"You're here......" Thatch's voice came from behind him, and the tone was exactly the same.
"A {librarian}...... Behind me, I'm going to die. Shoot, kill it. Thatch's voice grew weaker and weaker.
"Shoot, kill him." The shadow repeated.
The flashlight rolls to the left of the floor again, just back to the starting point.
Su Mengfan felt that he was losing the ability to think.
The words of the commander about the sound of gunfire that would attract terrible monsters came to his mind.
"You go away." He said to {the librarian}, not expecting it to understand what it was talking about.
"You go away." The voice of the reply was almost affectionate, but its clawed hand was still searching for something in Thatch's stomach, causing Thatch to let out a slight moan. groaned, and a large stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth to his chin.
"Shoot!" Thatch gathered a little strength and said even louder.
"Shoot!" {Librarian} commanded from behind him.
Should he shoot his new friend and let the sound of the guns attract other creatures?
Or should I leave Thatch alone and run away when I have time?
So far, it appears that there is no chance of survival, and that's probably not an hour to live as his stomach was torn open and his intestines were torn.
Behind Thatch's tilted head, a pointy gray ear appeared, followed by a large green eye that flickered in the glow of a flashlight.
Slowly, almost shyly, the {librarian} poked his head out from behind his dying companion, his eyes searching for Su Mengfan's eyes.
Don't turn your face away.
Just look there, just look at it, just look at its pupils...... The pupil is erect and is the pupil of an animal.
How strange it is to see traces of intellectual life in these evil, unbelievable eyes!
Now, upon closer inspection, this {librarian} is by no means a gorilla, not even a monkey.
It is a carnivore with a face covered in hair.
The mouth is full of fangs, almost from one ear to the other, and the eyes are so big.
This monster is not like any kind of animal that Su Mengfan has ever seen.
The process seemed to him to be very long.
Since being caught in the creature's gaze, he could no longer get out of its pupils.
Until Thatch let out a long, deep moan. groaned, and Su Mengfan was able to take his eyes away.
He aimed the small red dot on the sight directly at {Librarian}'s low, gray-haired forehead and used his thumb to punch the . The switch of the sharp gun is turned to semi-automatic fire.
After hearing a slight metal click, the monster became enraged and hid behind Thatch again.
"Get out of the ......," it suddenly said behind Su Mengfan's back, and it accurately imitated Su Mengfan's tone.
Su Mengfan was helpless and stopped moving.
This time, {the librarian} stopped repeating his words, and it seemed as if it had memorized the words and understood their meaning, was that true?
Alcohen ...... While I could still speak......" Thatch pulled himself together, trying to gather his eyes that had become dull and distracted every minute.
"In the pocket of my chest...... There is an envelope...... I was told that if you find that book, I'm going to give it to you......"
"But I didn't find anything." Su Mengfan felt that the cardboard appeared inexplicably, so he didn't say it, so he shook his head and said.
"Nothing was found." There was a repetitive, strange sound behind Thatch.
"It doesn't matter...... I know why you agreed to come down and do this. It's not for you...... Maybe it will help you.
"It doesn't matter to me whether I obey orders or not. Keep that in mind, you can't go back to {Hayabusa Station}......"
"If they find you going empty-handed...... If the army finds out...... Please go to another base. Shoot now, because it hurts...... I can't stand it......"
"I can't stand it...... ......It hurts" {Librarian} repeated the words as it mixed them together, its arm suddenly reaching into Thatch's torn stomach.
Thatch convulsed violently and shouted hoarsely.
Su Mengfan couldn't wait any longer.
He is desperate to rush. The switch of the sharpshooter was turned back to automatic, and he pursed his lips and fired, several bullets whizzing into the body of his companion and the monster behind him.
The sudden sound tore through the silence of the library, and a sharp chirp followed, and then suddenly disappeared again, as if the dusty book had sucked away the echo like a sponge.
When Su Mengfan opened his eyes again, everything was over.
