Advent Era 199, outside Lingzhou Fort.

Ren Yi held the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator to the end.

"There's one last order left!" Looking at the sky, Ren Yi muttered to himself.

The armored truck, painted with the words "Lingzhou Ren's Dart Bureau" and covered with a tight waterproof tarpaulin, was speeding towards the field stronghold with smoke curling in the distance, and smoke and dust were everywhere. Explosion-proof netting made of special steel outside the car window splits the strange yellow sky into countless diamond shapes. Under the thick clouds, six rounds of red sun are sinking in the west.

199 years ago, there was a sudden white fog all over the world. After the white fog cleared, unknown creatures with strange powers descended on reality, dealing a devastating blow to human civilization. Survivors from all over the country built walls to confront it.

Due to the uneven supply between the cities, the "dart game" was born, a dangerous industry that walked between the fortress cities.

Ren Yi's ability is to "heal". But the darts rely on fists and feet, and compared with those with physical skills, his self-healing speed beyond ordinary people is too chicken.

Therefore, even if Ren Yi is a young owner of the dart game, he can only take on some odd jobs that others look down on.

"Chikou Town, twenty pigs." Ren Yi repeated the order, enduring the suffocating smell of the back of the car.

Soon, a low silhouette appeared on the horizon in the distance. As the wilderness flew by outside the window, the simple city gate cobbled together on the basis of the ruins and broken walls of the old world clearly appeared in front of Ren Yi, and the swaying figures in the city could be faintly seen.

"Lingzhou Ren's dart game! The goods have arrived! Ren Yi took the walkie-talkie and dialed the communication channel belonging to Chikou Town, "Come to someone, order the goods!" ”

There was no response on the walkie-talkie, but it seemed that the sentry inside the city gate had heard it, and the layers of warning poles rose in front of Ren Yi's eyes.

The figure swayed, and crackling footsteps sounded, heading towards Ren Yi's back carriage.

It's a routine check again. Ren Yi lowered his head and picked his hands, he knew this boring process very well.

Footsteps squirming, shuffling, circling around the truck.

For a long time, Ren Yi waited impatiently.

"Why are there so many people today?"

It seems that there are still guards joining the inspection team, and even with his head down, Ren Yi can occasionally catch a glimpse of a flashing figure outside the window.

He was just about to look up and ask, when suddenly, the red light on the walkie-talkie flashed.

"Hello?" A rough and hoarse voice sounded, it was Wang Chunfu, the second master of the dart game.

"Xiaoyi...... You took an order from Chikou Town? ”

"On the way? Return now! ”

Ren Yi was stunned.

On the walkie-talkie, Wang Chunfu's voice was intermittent, with the sound of Zizi's current, which was somewhat distorted.

"I met a few colleagues on the way back to the city, and I heard that there was a problem in Chikou Town!"

"For more than ten days in a row, Chikou Town has continuously sent order requests to the dart bureaus of nearby cities......"

"Many dart bureaus took orders and sent dart masters, but no one returned!"

"Within the boundaries of Chikou Town, there is no reply from any communication equipment, and everyone has cut off the message!"

"But there is still a steady stream of orders being dispatched, and who is making the requests?"

Ren Yi listened, his palms gradually cold.

"The dart masters speculate that all the residents of Chikou Town ......"

Wang Chunfu's voice trembled visibly.

"All dead!"

“…… He's dead? Ren Yi repeated instinctively, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out behind his back.

"The dart masters suspect that this stronghold has been attacked by the 'Descenders'!"

"The horror of the Adventists is that they are capable of unleashing strange radiation! As long as there are humans nearby, they will be polluted; Life energy is absorbed as nourishment, and the flesh is mutated! ”

"We suspect that Chiguchi Town has been destroyed, but the residents are polluted and have no idea that they are dead, and they are still going about their daily lives!"

"But their minds have been assimilated by the Adventists, and they are constantly luring outsiders to join!"

"Return immediately! Return now! ”

"Hey...... Ren Yi, are you still listening......" Wang Chunfu's voice came and went, and a large number of harsh noises rang out.

Squeak –

The call came to an abrupt end.

Syllable!

A rotten strange face clinged to Ren Yi's face.

His limbs were dry and dehydrated, and his clothes were torn and flocculent.

Ren Yi's steering wheel was full, and with a bang, the fuel gauge pointer turned into a broken line.

The street, which was empty just now, suddenly came out of nowhere. Each one was highly decomposed, with mutilated limbs, and was approaching the front of the car in a twisted and agile posture.

"Your guest has come from afar!"

All the dead men opened their hands to him in unison. The corners of the mouth on the rotten face slowly grinned, and the more it was pulled, the bigger it became.

Looking down from the driver's seat, all Ren Yi could see was the same weird smile, and in all the strange alleys ahead, there were countless figures converging.

Ren Yi's scalp exploded suddenly, grabbed the steering wheel, and the car suddenly drew a half-arc on the ground, and bounced out of the gate like a cannonball.

Knock, knock!

The stiff limbs slammed into the iron sheet with one resistance after another.

Seven or eight carrion bodies rolled down from the front of the car, and many more followed.

In the blink of an eye, the glass was splattered with blood, flowing down the glass with the frantic squeak of the wipers.

"Thank you very much!"

The corpses were piled up in the back of the car as a carpet, but they still didn't notice anything unusual, and they moved in unison, blocking the front of the car.

Hundreds of limbs danced, interspersed left and right, Ren Yi's line of sight was constantly divided, and the space gradually narrowed.

The scene is getting weirder and weirder.

Syllable! Syllable!

Suddenly, the skin of all the corpses burst in unison, and the shriveled flesh was exposed, rolling like living creatures, and flowing out of the body with a clatter. The wriggling flesh coalesced together into nimble writhing tentacles, their tips raised with teeth and claws.

Stab!

All the tentacles pierced out dense and thin small teeth at the same time, shrank back, and shot towards Ren Yi!

Ren Yi was startled, stepped on the accelerator suddenly, but the black giant net composed of tentacles was extremely hard, allowing the wheels to roar and idle, mud splashing, and it was difficult to move an inch!

"This ......" Ren Yi gritted his teeth and arched his back, his hands were full of strength, and at the same time, his mind was also thinking quickly.

Ren Yi remembered an old rumor about Chikou Town.

Before the strange came, it was a tourist attraction, and the local people had the custom of sacrificing to the god of water, and every year when the Lingjiang River was flooding, they would pass through the waterway in the ancestral hall to send living sacrifices to the god of water.

This shows that the waterways in the ancestral hall are connected to the outside world!

The reason why Lingzhou got its name is that it was built in the alluvial plain of the lower reaches of the Lingjiang River!

"The gate is no longer passable, so I risk rushing into the ancestral hall and taking the waterway." Ren Yidao.

"My ability is healing, and I should be able to survive this way!"

Ren Yi slammed into reverse gear, and the car flew backwards with a bang.

Ren Yi's hands and feet didn't dare to stop for a moment, and cold sweat flowed. The giant web of tentacles from the growth of hundreds of corpses trembled, and they chased after each other.

He instinctively rushed towards the center of the city, the huge cargo compartment behind him blocking his view, but he could still feel the resistance in front of him increasing, and the sound of thump and crash was continuous.

Suddenly, Ren Yi felt the body sink suddenly. The live pig in the cargo compartment, which had long been frightened, suddenly burst into a scream of extreme fear.

The body began to tremble, Ren Yi sat in the driver's seat and didn't know what was happening, the lighter, cigarette case, and rag in the car were all trembling at the same frequency.

"Wouldn't I be so unlucky to meet the Descender and encounter an earthquake at the same time?" Ren Yi complained.

At that moment, a huge white mass of flesh hung from the car window, filling his entire field of vision.

The mass came out of the rear compartment, about four meters high, and wriggled in the air. The live pig behind the car opened its long mouth and screamed in fear, struggled, and was devoured again.

Centered on the truck, the flesh flowed around the road, spreading out and merging into a giant web. Everywhere he passed, the limbs of the dead man dissolved into them, and countless withered arms gradually stretched out from the white behemoth, like the countless hands and feet of centipedes, writhing and waving in all directions.

"Damn! The pigs are all mutated! Ren Yi scolded.

The truck went on a rampage. The front of the car is dented, and the glass shatters into a white mesh. Stalls, drying racks, and colorful tarpaulins on both sides of the road are flying.

Half of the monster's body is like a fat reptile, climbing on the roof of the car, and it is still growing and growing along the way.

When, when!

Its hundreds of arms were constantly attacking the vehicle, and Ren Yi sat in the car, and the iron sheets on all sides were deafening.

The glass shattered and flew through the cramped car. Black withered hands waved in the car, scratching frantically.

The blood stains on Ren Yi's face disappeared in a flash, and the overalls became more and more tattered, gradually dyed red.

At this moment, the wounds on Ren Yi's body are still increasing, the healing ability has been released to the maximum, the body is highly hot, and the skin and flesh are turned over and closed automatically.

The vehicle did not stop for a moment, rushing towards the ancient temple that loomed in the center of the dilapidated building.

"It's now......" Ren Yi slammed the car door and rushed towards the broken wooden door that had been blackened by incense for a long time.

The monster above his head followed him like a shadow, constantly letting out high-frequency roars, and the blood in Ren Yi's chest was surging.

The green bricks quickly retreated at Ren Yi's feet, and the black statue at the end of the ancestral hall magnified in his stumbling vision.

The fine limbs fell like raindrops, and they chased after each other.

At the end, the statue in the darkness became clearer and clearer.

The statue has a human head and a fish body, hands folded, and a tail leaping in the air, sitting in the middle of the shrine.

Bright red couplets, cigarette smoke, candlelight flickering. Standing in the square pool made of bluestone slabs, the pool is sunken in the ground, and it is impossible to see what is inside, and the surface is mottled with moss......

Sure enough, there is a pool! And there is moss, which means that there is indeed water!

You guessed it!

"It should be here......" Ren Yi had a look of surprise on his face.

Suddenly. Ren Yi sensed that something was wrong.

The shrine has been abandoned for many years, why are the couplets still so bright red? Who is offering the burning incense?

"Distinguished guests come from afar, I am very grateful......"

Inside the small ancestral hall, more dead residents rushed out, converging into one voice.

Ren Yi had already rushed to the edge of the pool. The corpses piled up at the bottom of the pool, emitting a putrid stench.

Judging from the clothes, they are all dart masters who have recently lost contact.

"Whew-" The troll let out a roar, and its dome-filled body swooped down.

There's no time - jump!

Ren Yi gritted his teeth and jumped forward.

At the same time, dozens of curved fangs pierced out of the pillar-like monster.

Laugh at!

The cold touch suddenly crossed Ren Yi's abdomen, and after two seconds of blankness, the wet and sticky touch flowed down Ren Yi's waist and abdomen.

The heart-rending pain took over his entire brain.

Looking down, he saw a long fang piercing out of his abdomen, blood gushing out.

"It's over......"

In the next second, darkness hit the bottom of the pool.
