Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Vanishing Skull [Seek to Follow!] 】

Corpse?

Where is it?!

In the deep and dark tunnel, he suddenly heard this word, which suddenly made Wang Tao, who left the subway station for the first time, feel a little creepy.

He subconsciously followed Chen Xi's instructions before leaving, picked up the crossbow in his hand, turned around, and swept behind him.

After confirming that there were no mutants behind him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and didn't forget to remind:

"Safe in the back!"

At the same time, Chen Xi's heart was more vigilant.

They had only been a few hundred meters from the subway station and had found the body so quickly.

This definitely not bodes well...

I saw two corpses lying on the railroad tracks in front of the tunnel.

When the light was reflected on the corpse, Chen Xi did not hesitate to pick up the Remington M870 shotgun in his hand, looked left and right, looked up and down, and quickly confirmed the surrounding situation.

Finding that there were no mutants around, Chen Xi did not relax, but held the troll and moved forward.

"Taozi, look behind me, I'll go up and have a look."

"Roger."

Hearing Chen Xi's instructions, Wang Tao suddenly had a backbone, and the panic in his heart subsided a lot, and he immediately straightened his face, holding the crossbow in his hand, guarding the situation behind Chen Xi.

When he stepped forward to take a look, Chen Xi realized that it was not so much a corpse as a corpse.

Because, these two corpses have no flesh and blood at all, just a pair of white bones in ragged clothes!

From the bones, Chen Xi got several pieces of information.

First of all, these two bones have been dead for a long time.

Secondly, judging from the outfit on his body, as well as the backpack on his back, it should be certain that he is a scavenger.

Scavengers are the outcasts of this world.

They have no home, no hope, just an obsession to survive no matter what!

In order to survive, they do not hesitate to step into dangerous surface and subway tunnels, looking for everything that can be exchanged for survival materials.

And the most important piece of information on the two corpses is that the skull of the two corpses has disappeared!

This strange detail made Chen Xi's expression solemn, and the name of a mutant suddenly appeared in his mind:

"Their skulls are gone..."

Hearing this, while on guard, Wang Tao, who couldn't help but peek at this side, couldn't help but swallow his saliva:

"Is it the Daredevil?"

Daredevil, a B-class mutant who is genetically mutated by intense radiation exposure to humans.

Appearance: Hair has fallen out all over the body, skin has turned white, and teeth and nails have become sharply sharpened.

Characteristics: Possess a certain intelligence, bloodthirsty mania, like darkness, fear of sunlight and flames, strong climbing ability...

Frequented by: sewers, subway tunnels, and the city at night!

If the Bat Demon is the top of the food chain above the surface, then the Night Demon is the killer of darkness!

They hide in the shadows, like a venomous snake ready to attack, blinking their scarlet eyes and greedily peering at everything that can move.

However, the most favorite thing for these monsters mutated from humans to eat is their brains.

Especially the human brain!

It seems that eating the brains of their former kind can make them feel like they used to be...

Therefore, there is also an unwritten common sense among the explorers.

That's – don't go to the surface at night!

Because, that would be self-defeating!

In addition to the surface at night, Daredevil can also be found in underground tunnels and sewers.

Therefore, the outpost of the subway station usually keeps the bonfire unextinguished 24 hours a day, illuminating the tunnel in front of the outpost, also to prevent the night demon from taking advantage of the opportunity.

"It should be. However, the flesh and blood of the corpse had completely decomposed, and had been dead for a long time, at least a year or two. ”

After a pause, Chen Xi stood up and beckoned to Wang Tao:

"Taozi, come and search their backpacks and pockets to see if there are any useful things."

Hearing this, Wang Tao couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Huh? I? ”

"Or else? Do you think explorers are just going up to the surface for tours? Searching for all useful supplies from corpses is also part of the explorer's job. ”

You know, as a veteran doomsday survival gamer, picking up trash is the happiest thing to do in the apocalyptic world!

Not one of them!

The anticipation when opening the blind box, as well as the excitement and excitement when finding something good, can give the explorer a sense of spiritual satisfaction and material abundance.

If it weren't for the training of Wang Tao, Chen Xi would not have given up the power of "touching the corpse" to the other party.

"Hurry, we have to keep going, the sooner we get to the South Wind Station, the safer we will be."

"Good!"

For Wang Tao, who has already seen dead people in the subway revolution, the smooth bones are not so scary.

However, his first touch of the corpse was very unlucky.

There is nothing on the bones!

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xi understood.

This subway tunnel, as the only passage connecting Tomorrow Station to Nanfeng Station, is where Li Jingui's federal soldiers pass every time.

Therefore, even if there was anything useful on the bones, it would have been taken away by those passing Union soldiers long ago.

Looking at Wang Tao with a regretful face, Chen Xi couldn't help but raise his hand and pat him on the shoulder, comforting:

"It's also a common thing, just get used to it."

The latter nodded in understanding.

。。。

After a small interlude, the two continued on their way.

And after continuing to walk forward along the railroad track for about two hundred meters, Chen Xi's ears suddenly moved slightly.

As if he heard some slight movement, he paused at his feet, and then raised his hand to make a gesture to Wang Tao behind him:

"Stop!"

However, as Wang Tao's footsteps stopped, the subtle movement in his ears did not disappear, but became clearer and clearer.

Da Da...

After carefully distinguishing it, Chen Xi realized that this subtle movement seemed to be coming from above!

As soon as he looked up, he saw two dead-white humanoid monsters lying on the ceiling of the tunnel!

They opened their large, flesh-and-blood mouths, bared their sharp fangs, and their long, narrow tongues, and stared at the two prey below them with their scarlet eyes.

In the next second, they flew towards Chen Xi and the others below!

At this critical moment, Chen Xi's eyes sharpened, and he did not hesitate to turn on the [Sprinting] skill!

"Daredevil!"

In addition to sounding a warning, he did not forget to use the acceleration effect of the skill to push Wang Tao away next to him first, and then leap forward!

Crash!

After an intimate contact between his back and the gravel ground, Kankan dodged the night demon's flutter, Chen Xi, who had a cold face, quickly knelt on one knee, turned around, picked up the Remington shotgun in his hand, aimed it at the white in front of him, and pulled the trigger!

I only heard a "bang", and a night demon who landed where he was standing just now was directly blown away by a shot!
