Chapter 31: Desperate Rain Curtain
"Are you coming......
"Desperate Believers ......"
"Or ......"
"Ho Gang."
George discarded the great umbrella and looked up at the dark and dreary sky with a curtain of rain, the lightning occasionally illuminating the scale-like clouds, like a dragon lying across the abyss.
The rain is pouring down, and the branches of the landscape trees are dancing wildly in the wind.
There was no light in Flushing, visibility was extremely low, and only a road in front of him stretched out in a straight line, submerging into darkness.
The buildings on either side are strangely shaped, and the shadows tremble and wriggle.
Not again......
This weird change.
Is it related to desperate believers?
George held the dagger in his hand, and the raised lines of the hilt were stuck in his palm with great force.
At the end of the long street, a faint light suddenly came up, casting the light from the other side of the corner.
Here it comes?
Here it comes.
Here it comes!
There was a huge thing walking and galloping on the land, and through the stagnant water and the long stretch of land, George's feet could feel the irregular trembling of the soles of his feet.
"I ......"
"I found you......"
"Roarβ"
The roar was connected to a hoarse and low vocal lozenge that seemed to be mixed with a large amount of river sand in the water, and the distant stagnant water suddenly reflected the blazing light.
George shuddered.
The veins on his temples were throbbing, the Adam's apple was rolling, and a great sense of crisis enveloped him from all sides.
It seems like......
There is no sky, no land, no lake or sea.
There is nowhere to run!
Then, the first thing that came into George's vision was the palm of a human that had become swollen beyond shape.
It snapped against the year's wall, red blood flowing like magma under its pale skin, and the intense heat turned the overwhelming torrential rain into a steaming white mist.
The palm of the hand exerted force in a twisted manner, as if trying to pull its body out of the abyss.
George felt more dangerous.
But he didn't dare to turn back.
For some reason, he had a hunch......
Once you show your back to this monster, something terrible will happen!
Then, the stagnant water reflected a dense network of tentacles that emitted a fiery glow, and these tentacles slowly proded forward, appearing at the end of the long street in a moment.
There was a strong wind blowing.
The rainstorm became sloping.
George squatted slightly, his whole body concentrating on his arms and calves, in an unsightly, even somewhat distorted posture.
This is the basic fighting technique he learns in Sims.
Although it didn't work.
It can't be compared to the fighting techniques of this world at all.
But when dealing with an alien whose body is large and can easily crush any human, it can work wonders.
Desperate believers relied on their wrists and feet to pull on the high wall to bring their bodies from a path to the avenue.
The sides of its body were covered in friction marks, scarred and bloodstained.
The blood fell slowly from the torrential rain, dripping in the stagnant water, and soon boiling and spreading, like countless jumping shrimp insects hiding under the water.
It's bigger than a square one.
The limbs of each corpse gathered on the body were replaced by tentacles that had been grossly drilled out.
The shorter of them was five or six meters, and the longer one was eight or nine meters, and there was some kind of terrifying melody when they were waved in the sky.
The shadows of the entire long street twisted and writhed with the waving of these limbs, and the living creatures gathered and swam like unsettling creatures.
George saw the face again.
It's rotten and swollen.
Even his forehead was horribly wounded, tearing a huge hole, and he was able to see the pink, hot brain inside through a tough film.
Slowly, slowly.
This disgusting face overlaps somewhat with the face that belongs to He Gang in George's mind.
The man who smuggled in from Chinese mainland......
He was so thin and so resolute.
The expression also seems to be so indifferent forever.
Now he has simply lost all his original appearance.
George felt a chill from the heart.
Not because of the appearance of the desperate believer, but because of the evil purpose of causing humanity to infect and degenerate into something alien.
Desperate believers stand on the other side of the street.
Its body agitated slowly and firmly.
One after another, maggots were shaken out of the dense small holes in their bodies with the heart-like agitation, crackling and falling into the stagnant water, and died in an instant.
Some white, golden mist threads were attached from the bodies of the dead maggots to the bodies of the Desperate Believers, unknown to what they did.
Aside from the face, it had no human features or appearances.
The pieces of flesh were completely fused together, and underneath them were feet made up of dozens or hundreds of feet.
How could such a good random and irregular creature appear in nature?
George didn't dare to think nonsense.
He could only assume a combat posture and pray that Harry and John would move faster.
"It's ...... you"
"...... reciting Chu Ci?"
But this already inhuman thing actually spoke again.
It's just that the vocal cords seem to be broken, and the person's speech is uneven, and it takes an effort to discern it to hear clearly.
George replied softly, "It's me." β
He also didn't know if desperate believers could hear it.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Gathering strength and shouting will only make your momentum fall, and you will completely lose the courage to confront and even fight with the alien in front of you.
Cao Di once said that once he was vigorous, then declined, and then exhausted.
Not only used in marching combat.
It is also justified in fighting for the life of fierce beasts.
For example, Wu Song in later generations, if he was not drunk and smoked, he would definitely turn around and flee for his life when he saw the tiger slaughtering, and the beasts loved to fight and kill the cowards who were afraid of them.
He thought that it was just the last remaining of reason in He Gang, and he was still manipulating the part of his brain that controlled language, and he probably couldn't say anything else.
But it didn't want to, and it opened its mouth again, saying:
"I used to come from the Hubei generation, and I am a Chu person."
George watched as the Desperate Believer slowly squirmed his body in this direction, and he said, "You're not a human ...... right now."
The alien stopped talking.
It seems that the reason that belongs to He Gang has indeed dissipated, and the current desperate believers are probably only left with the desire to kill and destroy.
There is also the obsession with his poor daughter and the hatred of the Hogs group.
Under the rain curtain, the blazing light reflected in the water and rain, casting strange and distorted shadows on the surrounding buildings.
Suddenly, it began to accelerate.
The hard and indestructible inside was instantly turned into ruins!
The voice of the desperate believer was so mixed that it was as if there were hundreds of vocal cords mixed together.
The roar of the beasts.
The fierce cry of the birds.
And also......
A quick, faint voice asked where his baby had gone.
But George couldn't hear the last voice.
He gritted his teeth and had nowhere to hide, ready for the first wave of impact!
