Chapter 758: Bearded Ghosts
Night falls.
The clouds in the sky were thick tonight, and there was no moonlight.
This kind of celestial phenomenon is very abnormal, obviously the sunset is just right in the evening, and the sun is shining, but as soon as it gets dark, the wind is strong, and the clouds that drift from nowhere cover the night sky.
Meng Fanxi took water and battlefield rations and walked into a room where they were temporarily sheltered.
The room was messy, with clutter on the floor and a shabby sofa in a relatively clean corner.
Xiao Rong was lying on the sofa, her eyes closed and her breathing heavy.
She's not doing well.
In the afternoon, their team was attacked by a swarm of insects, and with a large number of arrogant insects and a step up, they had no other choice but to escape.
When the three mechs fled, Xiao Rong's mecha was unfortunately targeted and destroyed by the upper-level giant beast, and it was Ma Shuo who desperately rescued Xiao Rong from the cab.
After that, he was lucky enough to get rid of the Behemoth and the Proud Worm, but he was also trapped here, and was unable to get in touch with the surface base due to the damage of his communication equipment during the battle.
"How's Sister Rong?"
Meng Fanxi put his things down and looked at the sofa.
Ma Shuo picked up the kettle and said, "It's not good, although I gave her a first-aid injection, but with our current conditions, it can't cure her." ”
"We need to get her to base as soon as possible."
Coming to the sofa, Ma Shuo squatted down, unscrewed the lid of the pot, and gently lifted Xiao Rong's head.
"Drink some water, Xiao Rong."
"You've got to hold on, and we'll be back at base tomorrow."
"You'll be fine."
Xiao Rong, who had her eyes closed, but was still conscious, nodded.
I opened my mouth and took a few sips.
Ma Shuo then put her back on the couch.
Meng Fanxi said after eating up the battlefield rations in three or two bites: "I'll go to the vigil." ”
Ma Shuo nodded: "I'll change you in the second half of the night." ”
Returning to his mecha, Meng Fanxi put on his helmet, connected to the empathy system, and glanced around.
They are located in a residential area, and the location is quite hidden.
The nearby building toppled to form a natural bunker, and Meng Fanxi's mecha hid behind this huge bunker, setting up sniper rifles to monitor the surrounding situation.
Using the mecha's infrared vision function, Meng Fanxi was able to observe every grass and tree nearby.
They have cleaned up the hair in the community, but outside the community, the hair can still be seen everywhere.
Even if there is no wind, those strange long hair will squirm from time to time on its own, as if it has its own life.
This is the most iconic ecology in the 'Tricky Hair City', and it is also the most important link in the ecology of the giant beasts in this forbidden land.
"Hopefully I can leave tomorrow."
Meng Fanxi muttered, and at this moment, in the blood-red screen under the infrared vision, he suddenly saw that in a bus outside the community, some treacherous hair suddenly wriggled and entangled together.
Gradually, those strange long hair weaved into a human form, and a 'person' of normal male height appeared in the bus like this.
The 'man' had hair fluttering around it, and it was wandering around the bus with gentle movements.
It kept coming and going, like it couldn't find a way to get out of the bus.
When it faced the camera, Meng Fanxi saw that this human figure woven from 'tricky hair' actually had facial features, and there were two pale rays of light floating in his eye sockets.
"Bearded ghosts..."
Meng Fanxi suddenly remembered all kinds of rumors about 'Tricky City'.
Among them, 'bearded ghosts' can undoubtedly be included in the top three of the most terrifying tricks.
This kind of thing only operates in the danger zone, and in close proximity to the core.
They are unaware and, once present, wander through the night.
If you look at them, you will lose consciousness and will never wake up, becoming a vegetative state.
Some people say that the souls of those who look at the 'bearded ghosts' are taken away and become one of the 'bearded ghosts'.
As for whether this is the case, it is estimated that only those who have witnessed it know.
And there are no cases of witnesses waking up after falling into a coma, so naturally there is no way to prove.
With the help of infrared vision, Meng Fanxi saw that more and more 'bearded ghosts' emerged.
Outside the community, the hair swayed, weaving a series of figures.
In the blink of an eye, the outside of the community has been covered with large and small 'bearded ghosts'.
The small ones were also the size of adults, and the big ones were seventy or eighty meters, comparable to the height of mechas.
They walked the streets, wandered from building to building, pale light large and small in the dark night, like ghost fires in a graveyard.
Hyakki Night Walk!
Meng Fanxi had experienced the illusion of the 'Misty Canyon' and participated in the battle against the Sky Overlord.
Now the 'bearded ghost' is terrifying, but it is not so frightened that he loses his senses, and he hurriedly informed Ma Shuo.
Meng Fanxi picked up a short board walkie-talkie.
"Captain, find the 'bearded ghosts', they are roaming outside the community."
A cold air pump sounded over the intercom.
"It's at a time like this."
"You turn off the panoramic window right now, and don't let those things find out about you." ”
"Hide in the cab and don't come out, and remember not to look at them if you are spotted by the 'bearded ghosts'."
Meng Fanxi nodded: "Captain, what about you?" ”
Ma Shuo smiled: "Don't worry, I'll take Xiao Rong back to the mecha now." ”
"Then you have to be careful."
After speaking, Meng Fanxi cut off the communication and was about to close the panoramic window, when he suddenly found a black figure lying outside the panoramic window.
Countless hairs wriggled and tangled like a mess.
The 'bearded ghost' was lying on his stomach outside the panoramic window, his head looking away, and his mouth was making a 'hmm' sound.
The joints of Meng Fanxi's whole body seemed to be injected with lead paste, motionless and extremely stiff.
After a few seconds, he quickly lowered his head, and then closed the panoramic window.
Waiting for the computer to prompt that the panoramic window had been completely closed, Meng Fanxi dared to raise his head, and the outside scene could no longer be seen in the cab, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
He then activated the camera on the outside of the mech to keep an eye on the outside.
In the picture, you can see a huge 'bearded ghost' lying on a residential building, with two hands propped on the rooftop, supporting his chin.
On the child-like and innocent face, two huge pale lights floated in the eye sockets, and from time to time there were meaningless sounds such as 'hmm' and 'oh' from the mouth.
"It's weird."
Meng Fanxi took out a blanket from the drawer at the base of the seat and covered it on himself.
There was actually a sleeping bag inside, but where did Meng Fanxi dare to sleep in such a place.
Remember the last time he was in the 'Misty Canyon', he hallucinated in his sleep and almost killed his companion in his sleep.
Now that he was spending the night in the forbidden land again, he said that he would not dare to sleep.
Time passed little by little, and as time passed, the ignorant 'bearded ghosts' slowly wandered around and began to wander into the community.
Meng Fanxi stared at the screen, firstly, to distract himself from the bearded ghosts, and secondly, to prevent himself from falling asleep.
At this time, he saw that the 'bearded ghost' who was wandering around the bus finally found the door and got out of the car.
This 'bearded ghost' staggered, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the camera, and a strange smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
Some people died, but not completely......
