Chapter 503: Self-immolation
When the kidnappers saw Gu Yu stand up, they all retreated to both sides, giving way to the open space in the center of the warehouse.
The old man raised his cheekbones and smiled, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained teeth.
I had been squatting for a long time, and my legs were a little numb, so I simply stood up to let the blood circulate, and at the same time aimed the muzzle of the gun at the old man's head.
The old man stood between me and Gu Yu, as far away as the two of us, but when I stood up, his hand grabbed me.
His body didn't move, but the bloodied hand suddenly stretched out and struck my chest like lightning.
This is trying to dig out my heart!
I dodged sideways, no slower than his, and at the same time raised my hand to grab his wrist and twisted it backhand, trying to break his hand, but the touch of my hand told me that there was something wrong with his hand, which was different from normal humans.
It was bizarre that his arms could stretch nearly ten meters, and his wrists were so soft that they felt like the tentacles of an octopus.
I hurriedly let go, afraid that there would be other changes in him, and the shot did not hit him in the head, but only in the shoulder.
"Get out of the way!" Gu Yu let out a low snort, and then the submachine gun in his hand jumped out like a bean.
I let go of the old man's wrist and turned to the ground, rolled several times, and rolled behind a pile of debris.
The old man didn't dodge or dodge, and forced a series of bullets to break his gray robe, but the old man still chased after me persistently.
I don't know this old man, I can't have any serious grudges, and now he is chasing and beating me, and he must be doing things for others.
In other words, even if we kill him, we still don't know who the messenger is.
"Squeak—" The old man's throat erupted into a grotesque cry that didn't look like a human at all.
With this strange scream, the old man's broken robe was completely shattered, and countless branch-like things protruded from the robe.
The kidnappers who had taken refuge on both sides of the warehouse looked frightened and shrank into the corner, and some tried to move to the door to escape, but the branches sticking out from the old man's back seemed to have eyes, and quickly wrapped themselves around the doorknob and locked the door.
Qiao Tang was by the door, and the kidnappers moved past him, and when they saw that the door was entangled in branches, they drew their knives and cut them.
But the branch wrapped around the doorknob suddenly stretched out and pierced the man's chest, twisting and twisting, pulling out a heart that was still beating.
I screamed damned, the smell of the blood of the man who had died at the door just now made me uncomfortable, and now another one died, blood kept pouring out of the bloody hole in his chest, the sweet smell attacked my sanity, I felt like I was going to rush out at any moment, and I couldn't hold the gun in my hand.
At this time, the people in the warehouse could clearly see that these willow branches-like things had grown from the old man's body.
One of the kidnappers shouted 'monster, monster', abandoned the gate and climbed to the ventilation window above the warehouse.
Unfortunately, the ventilation window was too small, and the man only sent his head and one shoulder out, but the rest could not be squeezed through.
The bullets of the submachine gun struck the fluttering branches, and although they broke a lot, no blood or other liquid flowed out of the fractures, and the old ones were broken, and the new ones grew out at once, as if they were endless.
The old man took the heart that had been taken from the man who opened the door, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it.
His mouth looked small, and his lips were thin, but when he was fully open, he had no problem swallowing a heart.
This thing is by no means human, it may have been, but it certainly isn't now.
After only such a short time, he had already eaten two hearts, and the rest of the kidnappers saw this scene and couldn't stay any longer, they didn't have bullets in their guns, and they were fighting with this strange thing, they were simply looking for death.
So the insider, he rushed to the door, lit the broken sack in the warehouse with a lighter, and threw it directly onto the doorknob.
The wicker-like thing was burned by the fire, and immediately withered and shrunk, turning into black slag.
After Gu Yu realized that the wicker could be regenerated, he restrained his fire and did not continue to waste bullets.
Now Gu Yu saw that the fire was more lethal to the wicker, and he also wanted to pick up the broken paper shell at his feet, but the old man noticed his intention, and dozens of wicker strips were thrown over, forcing Gu Yu to move several steps to the side, but he didn't pick up the paper shell.
There aren't many things to burn in the warehouse, but wooden boxes are definitely the best combustibles, but if you want to light a wooden box, I'm afraid you can't rely on a lighter.
The most important thing is that we don't have enough time, and the old man's wicker can interrupt our action of lighting a fire at any time.
The kidnappers' movements were not as fast as me and Gu Yu's, and they became the old man's snacks in an instant, and it was precisely because of this effort that the insider opened the door and ignored the screaming companions behind him.
However, he was still a little slower, the door had been opened, and he was about to step out, but suddenly he was strangled by a wicker and dragged back to the warehouse.
It can be seen that the old man did not strangle him at once, but just dragged him back, Gu Yu and I were far away from the door, so Gu Yu shouted to Qiao Tang, who was still by the door:
"Let's go, find someone to support!"
Qiao Tang has been holding the grenade in his hand and holding it on his chest since he entered the warehouse, perhaps because of this, Wicker has never approached him.
Qiao Tang didn't say anything, he dodged and ran out of the door, the wicker then wrapped the gate to death, and Gu Yu shot a few times, breaking the wicker that was strangling the insider's neck.
Then he rolled on the spot and dragged the man to the corner, and the action was clean and clean.
Wicker left them alone, and the old man, chewing on his hot heart, walked toward the pile of debris where I was hiding, his target from beginning to end.
Gu Yu called the man to make a fire and set everything on fire, but the old man didn't give them a chance.
A wicker stabbed into the insider's chest with precision, and this thing must have been more accurate than a surgeon.
My heart immediately rose to my throat, Gu Yu was beside that person, but the wicker did not hurt Gu Yu, but rolled him up.
My heart suddenly moved, although the old man's goal was to kill me, but he even ate the minions that caught people for him, but he didn't eat Gu Yu.
"Did someone with the surname Tu send you?" I steadied my trembling hands, knowing that the bullets were useless to him, and I had just pulled them out of the magazine.
"Uh-huh... Don't talk nonsense, Poor Dao wants to use you as medicine, and it has nothing to do with others. The old man swallowed the last mouthful of flesh and made that strange sound again.
"Hmph, what dare you not admit, I'm all a person who is going to die, oh, I know, it's the surname Tu who told you, don't let Gu Yu know, it's him who wants to kill me, right?" I didn't speak in a hurry, my hand moved non-stop, and I removed the gunpowder from the bullet and sprinkled it on the surface of my clothes.
How could a demon who had never seen me negotiate the price with the kidnappers in advance, saying that he wanted my life, and now he changed his story and said that it was medicine?
The kidnappers who died obviously didn't know anything, and the insider only knew that someone had come to pay for the autopsy, and he didn't know who the person who came.
The old man quibbled and refused to admit that he was instructed by others, and it seemed that we could not ask why we had come.
Gu Yu was entangled in wicker, and he couldn't lift the muzzle of the gun, he had no special abilities in this time and space, and it was very difficult to break free from the dense willow branches on his body.
Even if he can earn it in the end, it will take some time, and at the moment there is an old man between me and me, but we can see each other's faces.
"You don't have to kill her, she-"
"I don't care about anything else, I will do things for others when I receive benefits."
"Well, I'll die with her." Gu Yu let go of the gun and threw a capsule into his mouth.
The old man wanted to choke his throat and prevent him from swallowing, but unfortunately it was too late, but this old man also had a trick, holding Gu Yu's feet, rushing his head down, and controlling the contents of his stomach.
Looking at Gu Yu's uncomfortable strength, and thinking about his determination to swallow poison and force him to death, I knew that I couldn't delay any longer.
The old man was so close to me that I lit the lighter with a thud, lit my clothes, and then suddenly threw myself out and hugged the old man's body.
The flames that ignited in an instant drowned me and the old man at the same time, and the wicker was extremely flammable, which showed that everything in the world has a nemesis.
The old man let out a terrible scream and wanted to throw me out, but my hands seemed to have taken root in him, and I would not let go of him even if he rolled and struggled.
"Sang Rou!" Gu Yu was thrown away by the wicker and slammed into the wall, but he immediately got up, picked up the gun he had just thrown away, and ran over and smashed the old man's head.
I know best how strong Gu Yu is, let him smash it a few times, and this person's head will be rotten.
Sure enough, it burned and smashed, and the old man finally stopped moving, his body was all burned into a charred black crispy, and the wicker did not grow again.
A gray insect crawled out of the rotten head, shaped like a centipede, Gu Yu smashed the insect into a pulp with the butt of a gun, and the warehouse was finally quiet.
"Sang Rou." Gu Yu didn't seem to know what to say except to call me by name, he reached out as if to check my injury, but he took it back halfway through.
"You need a doctor." There was a slight unsteadiness in his voice, and he looked at me with a look that was no longer as detached as before, a little angry, and a little dazed.
I grinned, even I could smell the smell of burnt flesh on my body, how painful was the extensive burn?
It hurts so much that you can't breathe!
"Don't, the clothes are burned, I don't want others to see it, take me to the slaughterhouse, I can't die."
As long as the head continues, the zombie with extensive burns can't die, and I know this very well, so I decided to save my life by self-harm after weighing the pros and cons.
Gu Yu took off his coat to cover my body, he dealt with the scene without leaving any traces of my injuries, and then took me to Ah Duo's house instead of going to the slaughterhouse.
I didn't say that I would go to Ah Duo's house, because I was worried that it was a secret place where Gu Yu usually met with others and discussed plans, and I was afraid that some of his activities would be affected if I went.
But Gu Yu directly carried me into the underground secret room and asked Ah Duo to take care of me, he couldn't stay longer, put me down and left.
Ah Duo is a local herdsman, just 16 this year, with a pair of big eyes that are particularly smart, wearing ethnic minority clothes, and her skin is white and red, indicating that she is living a good life here.
Due to the extensive burns all over my body, I could not wear any clothes, and I could not cover the wounds, and my skin and flesh were rotten, one black and one red, and there were patches of blisters.
Gu Yu told Ah Duo that I don't need to rub medicine or inject morphine, so I am in the underground hut for pure recuperation.
"If it hurts, call it out." Ah Duo gently wiped my wound with water and wiped off the dirt on it.
I was so painful that the muscles of my whole body were trembling, but I didn't say a word, and it was estimated that Ah Duo saw that I was working hard, so he persuaded me not to endure it.
