Chapter 18: Mountain of Bones
I picked up another board and went around to the back of the red ball, because the red ball was so large that it covered the remaining space behind it, I could only go around the pillar next to it, and then I saw countless white bones scattered on the ground.
The skeletons were no longer humanoid, like toppled building blocks, large and small, intertwined with each other, both adults and children, and the bones I saw were only sliding down from the mountain of bones.
On the back of the red ball stands a real mountain of white bones, a hill nearly five meters high, all made of human bones, there is no flesh on the surface of the bones, the surface is covered with small holes the size of rice grains, people with dense phobia absolutely can't stand this, even I feel my scalp tingle for a while.
I pinched the plank I had just picked up, and thought to myself that if there were bugs or ants hiding in the ball, it would be better to test it with a plank, so I threw the board at the red ball.
However, the wooden planks are treated the same as the stones, and they are spit out as soon as they enter, and it seems that the contents are picky eaters, no, or rather, it only eats people?!
It's true that there are no animal skulls in the White Bone Mountain, but I can't experiment with myself, and besides, I'm a zombie, so it doesn't necessarily like to eat it.
I suddenly thought of the big white cocoon on the upper level, maybe the six-legged monster caught people not for them, but for the red ball to store food, thinking of this possibility, I quickly ran back to the upper parking lot, picked the nearest big cocoon, used a rope as a sleeve, lassoed the big cocoon's feet, and pulled it down.
The viscosity of the wire mesh helps a lot, the rope sticks to the net, even if it is not tight, it does not affect my strength, after all, I do not have the superb horse riding skills of a man who hovers horses.
I pulled the cocoon down and fell straight to the ground, I felt for my clothes, hoping to find some blood from the six-legged monster, but unfortunately the blood stains were all rubbed on the restraint clothes, the clothes had been thrown away, and finally I felt some dried blood clots in my hair, and I used my fingers to apply it to the slightly agitated part of the cocoon, which should be the nose where people breathe.
The silk mesh was stained with blood, and I opened a large opening, revealing the human face inside, this person had her eyes closed, her breathing was very weak, I patted her face, and she woke up when it was almost swollen.
"Beauty, wake up!"
"You are? I ......"
"Shhh
She showed a frightened expression after being confused, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to scream, I quickly covered her mouth, lest she alarm the zombies around her, she rolled her eyes at this time, but she was an ordinary person, she had no night vision, just stared around with wide eyes, and her whole body was trembling.
"Listen to me, the nets on your body can only be opened by the monsters that occupy here, and now they are all out of the house, if you want to live, you can only wait for them to come back and I will kill one for blood, you have to stay calm, don't make a sound, there are a lot of zombies around."
I had long since discovered that these zombies did not react to human flesh and blood, otherwise they would have pounced when Gu Yu appeared, and the large cocoon above their heads was full of living people, and they were still indifferent.
I just said this to calm the girl, preferably quietly, when she heard that there were zombies around, she immediately closed her mouth, and her body was as stiff as a stone.
"Don't be too nervous, it's okay to whisper a word or two. What's your name? β
"Meng Meng, Ouyang Meng Meng."
"My name is Lei Feng, are you a local?"
"No, no, I'm here for a tour."
"When were you caught?"
"About two days ago, I passed out, I can't tell."
"Have you met anyone who escaped from Matsuyama Safe Camp?"
"Matsuyama? No, I haven't heard of it. β
"That'sβ"
Before I could ask again, there was a sudden noise from the entrance to the parking lot, and the sound of running was the same as the sound of the six-legged monster running quickly, but there were not many people to hear.
I ran ahead of them to the second floor, stepping on the bones and burrowing into the mountain of bones, and as soon as the noise stopped, the six-legged monster ran in.
By distance and time, they must have stopped in the parking lot, and they didn't come down directly, and I couldn't see what they were doing, only two 'poof' sounds in quick succession.
They're throwing things into the red balls, and of course, they don't throw rocks and planks like I do, I guess they're throwing cocoons, which are the living rations that are usually stored.
What's going on? Why are they so flustered and in a hurry to feed the red balls?
Soon, the footsteps of humans appeared on the second floor, and the six-legged monsters roared and rushed in the direction where the footsteps came, but they didn't know what they were attacked, and they stopped screaming.
The rest of the six-legged monsters did not flee, they were not afraid of death, and continued to attack the invaders, I guess they wanted to protect the red ball, which was worth more than their lives.
The mad monsters are a hundred times more ferocious than the mad humans, and the incessant roars also remind the people here that the zombies in the upper parking lot are 'alive'!
The red ball seemed to feel the change in its surroundings and spun faster and faster, when someone shouted, "Mission accomplished, withdraw!" β
"Xiao Zhou is injured."
"One more minute, don't retreat againβ"
"Leave me alone, go, go!"
"Bastard, put him down!"
