Chapter 5 Backpack
The bulging backpack rolled all the way on the ground, getting closer and closer, the backpack was barely deformed, and there was a clanging sound along the way, and it was full of hard objects when you heard it.
The backpack rolled more and more slowly, and finally it came to a halt, and the empty river bank, the dirt-stained backpack was inconspicuous, but in the eyes of Monica and Babu, the backpack looked extraordinarily shiny.
"Adventure is adventure, curiosity is the most important thing." Looking at the backpack less than fifty meters away from the two, Monica finally gritted her teeth and nodded fiercely, and Babu was already ready, and even Anna had already hugged her.
Monica pointed at Anna and asked in a low voice, "Let her help?"
Babu looked at the direction where he had found the entrance to the world, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.
"That's right, if there's an Ira hiding here, it's going to be a problem." Monica agreed, "At least find out if there are any cities in the nearby world."
"Well, although Abby said that activating the Faith Armament would not be discovered, it is better not to risk it as a last resort to be on the safe side."
"Okay, let's go together, we can do it ourselves."
After a few seconds of conversation, the rolling box finally stopped, and the black-robed man who was ground in the air by the tentacles was already fragmented and lost his sound, and there was a slight vibration on the ground, accompanied by the explosion of earth and stone breaking, and the sound and shock were slowly approaching, and the two knew very well that there was not much time left for them, and there was no time to waste, so no one discussed it in advance, and the two of them looked around for a while, and then rushed out at the same time.
Two different directions were chosen.
Monica stepped forward with long legs, light steps, with the help of high heels, sprinting on the ground with constant vibration, the movements were as elegant as a dancer, continuously adjusting the posture, several times by the shock brought by the vibration of the ground instead increased the speed, Monica rushed to the side of the backpack like lightning, and the whole movement was almost silent.
By the time Monica was about to touch her backpack, the vibrations in the riverbed were getting closer and louder. The dozens of thick tentacles that were held high in the sky had now retracted into the riverbed, blocked by the riverbank and out of sight, but as the tremors intensified, through the ubiquitous mist, the tips of these tentacles re-emerged from the riverbank little by little.
Monica glanced back at the tentacles.
The distance is already very close, with the length and speed of these tentacles just shown, now this distance has entered the opponent's attack range, but now the other party has not found it, once the other party finds out that there is someone here, she is afraid it will be difficult for her to escape from the attack range beyond the opponent's speed.
Unless undetected.
However, the nearest bunker is also a few tens of meters away, it is some ruins in the garden, the white jade-like stone pillars and stone walls stretch far away, it is indeed a good bunker, but unfortunately listening to the movement behind her, time has not allowed her to run over and hide.
Monica just glanced back at it lightly, then calmly withdrew her gaze, and at the same time bent down and picked up the backpack on the ground. As soon as I got Monica, I found that the backpack was heavy, at least ten kilograms, and I didn't know what it contained, which could make several people and mutants work so hard, but time did not allow it to be opened on the spot to satisfy curiosity, and the mutants were already close at hand, and they were about to face a stormy tentacle attack from monsters.
But Monica's movements were still steady, not chaotic at all, as soon as the backpack was in hand, her body immediately activated, and with the best effort she could, she increased her speed to the limit, and rushed towards the cover dozens of meters away, those exquisite stone ruins. While running, she didn't forget to pull her handbag and stuffed the backpack she picked up into her handbag.
At the moment of this action, the mutant who was moving slowly at the bottom of the river and preparing to climb the riverbed, as if suddenly stimulated, unconsciously writhing tentacles pointed sharply at the sky, and then smashed down towards the original position of the backpack like crazy, and at the same time the speed of movement increased more than ten times, and in a few breaths, the roots of those tentacles had reached the bank of the river, and they were rapidly rising.
At this time, Monica, who was still more than ten meters away from the nearest stone wall, saw that the tentacles of the monster had risen higher and higher, and the main body was about to surface on the bank of the river
When she saw Monica, a hook flew out from behind the stone wall.
Bob.
Although there was no discussion, when Monica ran to the backpack, Babu ran to the stone wall with understanding, and when he reached the stone wall, Monica also began to retreat towards the stone wall, so he immediately shot the new hook lock, and the huge elastic force of the activation device made the hook lock like an arrow off the string, and it was at Monica's side in an instant.
Monica didn't think about it, she grabbed the hook lock, wrapped it around her wrist a few times, and suddenly exerted force in the direction of the hook lock under her feet, at the same time, the hook lock suddenly retracted, and a strong force came from Monica's wrist, with her own momentum, the whole person was dragged by the hook lock and flew up, like a tired bird returning to the nest, the volley crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and rushed directly into the back of the stone wall.
At the same time, a huge human head emerged from the shore.
The volume of the human head is at least 100 times that of a normal human head, the widest part is more than 20 meters, the skin on the surface is shriveled and wrinkled, and the appearance is not visible at all, and a few locks of straw-like hair hang down from the top of the head, unkempt and dry, making the head look even more treacherous.
The skull's eyes were wide open, but there were no eyeballs inside, only two black holes, and the mouth was equally wide open, and the mandible opened and closed, as if it was babbling something.
Dozens of tentacles several meters thick stretched out from the hole at the bottom of the skull, although the skull is large, but the cavity at the base of the skull is at most a few meters in diameter, not much thicker than a tentacle, but dozens of tentacles actually squeeze out of it, and can rotate flexibly.
At the same time as the head appeared, the tentacles also slapped around the drop point of the backpack, moving repeatedly as if they were groping and exploring, and at the same time, a light suddenly lit up in the open mouth of the head.
If you distinguish it carefully, you can find that it is a huge eyeball wrapped in the skull, the eyeball is bigger than the mouth, but it is covered by the skull, only the green iris part is exposed from the mouth, a closed mouth, like a monster is blinking, the eyeballs are turning around in the mouth, and the eyes are cold between Gu Pan, and there is no emotion to see.
As soon as the eyes appeared, the gloomy vertical pupils immediately fell on the original landing point of the backpack, consistent with the information fed back by the tentacles, which was already empty, and the huge head immediately began to shake from side to side, as if a person was patrolling around.
However, there was nothing around.
At the same time as the head emerged from the riverbank, Monica's figure just disappeared behind the stone wall, and the two were almost synchronized, so when the huge eyes opened, all they saw was the empty riverbank, empty, only the ashes of the sky, silently spilling from the air, non-stop, as if it was endless.
The cold gaze circled the riverbank, and the tentacles under the head began to squirm, the tentacles covered with suckers and sarcoma surfaces rubbed against the ground, plowing deep ravines in the cracked soil, relying on the squirming of the tentacles, the huge human head began to move slowly, making a harsh grinding sound of cooing, just listening to the sound was enough to make people sick, as the human head moved, the filthy mucus and the muddy pus and blood mixed together, dragging a long trail behind him.
"Goo, goo."
The tentacles came and went, the sound of landing and wriggling was not slow, and the head was hovering on the shore, the strange head rotated three hundred and sixty degrees repeatedly, and the cold gaze was repeatedly searching all suspicious places around. There was a dead silence all around, and the silence was terrible, except for the disgusting grinding sound of grinding and grinding, and again......
"Bang", the shadow that covers the sky and the sun crosses the sky, a tentacle is as fast as lightning, falling from the sky and smashing down, the purpose is a pit in the open area that is not deep or shallow, after the loud noise, the earth and stones fly, the pit is smashed flat, revealing the cracked soil below, empty, and there is no backpack.
"Boom", the flying sand on one side has not yet fallen, and the innocent metal column on the other side was killed for no reason, and the metal column several meters high was rolled up by tentacles, as easy as pulling out a needle, and the rusted column was waved in the air like a toy by tentacles along with the umbrella-like top cover above.
Behind the stone wall, Monica leaned against the white jade wall, pressed her rapidly heaving chest, tried to suppress her rapid gasps, smiled brightly at the huddled bab, and then raised her fist. Babu raised an eyebrow and stretched out his fist and Mo
Nika slammed into the back, then lay behind the stone wall, peeking out of the shadows at the mutant that had swooped out into the air.
"It's, too, not safe here."
As soon as he was lying on the wall, Babu felt Anna writing in the palm of his hand, and when he wanted to reply, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and when he looked down, he saw that it was not Anna at all, but Monica's rough hand. Recognizing the clearer and clearer handwriting in his palm, Babu was stunned for a moment before he suddenly smiled, smiled movingly, and nodded at Monica.
"It's better to stay away." Monica repeated each word several times, "But, staring, too tight, not easy, withdraw."
Babu pressed his index finger to his lips and made a "shhhh
"Boom", there was another loud bang, and this time the flying stones had crackled and smashed against the stone wall, and the stone wall shook with the ground, and a lot of dirt and dust fell.
The huge size is the advantage, at a distance of tens of meters, the tentacles squirmed a few times, and they had already appeared next to the stone wall that blocked the view, and the shadow of the tentacles had already covered the stone pillar that Monica had just disappeared.
The tentacles fell, and the stones cracked.
The snow-white stone wall full of exquisite carvings was shattered by the blow of the tentacles, and several stone pillars around it were also uprooted and thrown aside, and the tentacles seemed to be undying, repeatedly slapping around the stone wall, until there was no longer a complete shelter, all the masonry had been broken into small pieces, and the crazy tentacles finally stopped, and when the dust settled and the smoke dissipated, it was found that there was no backpack behind the stone wall, no people, only stones and dirt all over the ground.
Entrenched on the wreckage of the stone wall, the thick tentacles slapped the ground irregularly, making a loud thud, and the huge head spun strangely, searching for all nearby locations where the line of sight would be obscured, only to creep all the way to it, where the line of sight, all the obvious shelters had been destroyed, which made it have to stop its movements, wandering aimlessly in place.
However, it did not find it, or even if it did, it could not understand it without intelligence, just at the base of the stone wall, just below it, a row of stone slabs of the same color were neatly arranged in a line, extending into the distance, but the angle chosen was clever, and it was difficult to notice from the side.
Underneath the thick stone slab, there is a deep ravine, the ravine is surrounded by traces of running water, although a lot of soil has been deposited on the four walls, but the space is quite spacious, at least enough to accommodate an adult to lie on his side in it, and even so there is room for movement.
"Boom", another tentacle slapped on the ground, and then dragged against the ground, leaving patches of stains, and under the vibration, the earth fell from under the stone slabs, filling the ravine with dust.
In the ravine under the stone slabs, Babu and Monica lay quietly on their sides, and Anna curled up in Babu's arms motionless, although crowded, she could barely squeeze in. Barbu and Monica didn't raise their hands or legs, they just relied on the squirming of the muscles on their sides, rubbing and moving in the ditch little by little. The earth sprinkled by the shock directly sprinkled the two of them all over their faces, but the two squinted their eyes, held their breath stiffly, and let themselves become gray without moving.
"Tick, tick, tick", in the dark ravine, there was a series of tick-tock dripping sounds, large drops of fishy slime, dripping down the cracks of the slate, and at the same time there was a grinding sound from the slate, and the slate staggered one by one, as if it could be lifted at any moment.
In the dark, Babu could even feel his heart beating violently, only to feel the rapid flow of blood, and every muscle was involuntarily trembling slightly, but he still forcibly controlled his excited body, allowing the shaking of the stone slab to get worse and worse, and the friction sound getting closer and closer, still remaining motionless.
Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale.
No one knows how long it has been, the shaking and friction above the head have slowly weakened, the mucus is no longer dripping, listening closely, you can hear the sound of the mutant creeping in the distance, the direction is the direction of the river, moving, there is still a banging sound from time to time, but whether it is frequency or strength, it is significantly smaller than before.
The sound faded away, and soon stopped abruptly, and the dead silence returned to the ravine, but a few minutes had passed, three
The man was still lying motionless under the slab, as if he had fallen asleep and had forgotten to come out.
The next moment, with a continuous whistling and slapping sound, the surrounding ground shook again, this time in a much larger and more violent area than before, and even the stone slabs were crumbling, as if they might collapse at any moment.
