After a "bang" gunshot, Xiao Ran heard a cry of animals. They followed Hu Bayi and rushed outside the temple gate. They saw the fat man changing bullets for the double-barreled shotgun. There was still a lifeless animal lying in front of him.

The hairless lynx.

The lynx must have been shot at close range. Its entire abdomen was smashed, and its colorful internal organs were scattered all over the floor. The knee of one of its hind legs was also affected by the fire, leaving only skin and flesh connecting the legs together.

It was lying on the ground, and its mouth mechanically made a sound like a duck's quacking. This sound was already familiar to Xiao Ran and the other three. It was exactly the sound that those living corpses would make after their brains were drilled by the cockroaches. Because the brain was damaged.

Occupied, this kind of living corpse, no matter whether it was a human or an animal in life, can no longer control its vocal organs.

Its remaining three paws were scratching aimlessly on the ground, but the bulge on its head slowly cracked open, and light green liquid flowed out.

"Yo... yo! How come you're still giving birth to a baby after being shot? How come it's still coming out of the head?" the fat man exclaimed.

Hu Bayi frowned and said: "Fat man, you are so stupid, what kind of kid is this? This is a parasite. It is estimated that these lynxes are controlled by this thing. Get ready to fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant cockroach with a long tail had already emerged from a large part of the lynx's head. It stared at the people in front of them with its two eyes. Hu Bayi and Fatty didn't wait for the cockroach to come out.

, they opened fire together and beat the cockroach to pieces, and pieces of meat mixed with green plasma flew around.

"Brother Hu, is this your first time seeing this thing?" Xiao Ran asked.

Hu Bayi nodded while changing bullets. It seems that they entered this abandoned village and did not have much fight with the lynx before arriving at the Xianniang Temple. Those lynxes who were killed by the mechanism may not have waited until

When the old man showed his head, he died together.

He had to admire Hu Bayi's ability to judge these things, and Fatty's unbridled imagination.

"Lao Hu, these grandsons haven't gone far. They've been hanging around and guarding us," the fat man said.

Hu Ba loaded up the bullets and said to the others: "Fat Man's and I's guns are not easy to use. We have to be at close range to effectively kill these lynxes. We can't fight them. We must hurry up and retreat until we reach the mountain pass..."

"

Before he finished speaking, three lynxes rushed towards them. Hu Bayi shouted to the fat man: "Fat man! Aim for their heads and hit them, we'll get there in one go!"

"Look at it!"

Two lynxes rushed forward, and Hu Bayi and Fatty fired their rifles at once. The heads of the two lynxes, as well as the cockroaches in their bulges, were blasted into mud.

There was another lynx running towards them. Hu Bayi and Fatty had no time to turn their guns, so they had to shout for everyone to disperse. However, Xiao Ran met the lynx head-on, slashing the lynx's side with a knife, and forcefully

The lynx's legs, one in front and one in back, were chopped off.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er caught up soon after. They picked up shovels and smashed them on the lynx's head. In a few moments, the lynx's head and the roach that just wanted to escape were all smashed into pulp.

"Hey, brother Xiao, you guys can do it!" Hu Bayi praised.

Xiao Ran looked back at the two people who still had murderous looks on their faces, smiled at Hu Bayi and said, "That's right, our team has been tested by blood."

A few people didn't dare to chat any more. Before the other lynx arrived, they hurriedly followed the nearest road and ran towards the small mountain pass from where they came.

Several howling calls soon sounded from behind, and the footsteps became more and more dense from the sparse before. It seemed that the lynxes in the ancestral hall were calling their friends and began to hunt together at night.

The abandoned village is surrounded by steep walls on all sides. After the original road was destroyed, the small mountain pass became the only way for them to enter and exit. If they continued to run forward, they would only be intercepted and killed by these four-hoofed animals on the way.

Hu Bayi said to several people while running: "Brother Xiao, you are almost exhausted. Run to the exit first. Fatty and I will lead them away in two ways!"

"Brother Hu..."

Before Xiao Ran could finish speaking, Hu Bayi and Fatty turned around and fired two shots at the chasing lynx group. Although the scattered bullets could not kill a single lynx, they killed seven or eight in the front row.

The lynx was shot and somersaulted and fell to the ground.

The lynxes following behind didn't prevent the front row from falling, and they all tripped and fell, and suddenly they were entangled with each other and rolled together.

This shot indeed bought everyone time to escape. Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and asked Liu Shengli and Xu Er to follow him and run away with their lives. Hu Bayi and Fatty deliberately turned on their flashlights, dazzled the lynx eyes, and then

He whizzed towards the alley next to him.

Xiao Ran and his party ran forward with their heads down, and behind them there was no longer the sound of the lynx's paws stamping on the ground. They reached the stone monument when they entered the village, and then stopped out of breath.

Come down.

"Manager, no... ok... take a break..."

Liu Shengli was afraid that he would not be able to get up from sitting on the ground, so he had to lean his butt on the stone monument. Seeing that this was a good idea, Xu Er also came over and sat on the other side of the stone monument.

Xiao Ran shined his flashlight into the distance, and saw the sporadic gunshots of Hu Bayi and Fatty, as well as the shouts to attract lynx, which at least proved that the two of them were still safe.

"Ouch..."

Liu Shengli and Xu Er suddenly shouted, and Xiao Ran quickly turned around and took a look at them. It turned out that they were not sitting firmly and fell off the stone tablet.

"I'll just sit down, but you have to come up and join in the fun. Will my seat collapse?" Liu Shengli complained.

Xiao Ran looked at the stone tablet and saw that it had sunk a bit as they sat on it. He wondered if the ground had collapsed over time.

"Hurry up, you two, and retreat quickly. I'll go look for them..."

Xiao Ran watched the two people leave, and hurriedly walked through the alley, following the sound to meet Hu Bayi and Fatty. But before he could run a few steps, the ground suddenly trembled, causing him to sit down on his butt.

When he finally got up, Hu Bayi and Fatty had already turned out of the alley in front. Seeing a dark figure in front of them, they quickly raised their guns and prepared to shoot. When they saw clearly that it was Xiao, they quickly ran over and pulled him to continue towards him.

Evacuate at the mountain pass.

"It was so dangerous just now. We were almost caught by those beasts. Unexpectedly, the ground suddenly shook and knocked those beasts unconscious. Let's hurry up and get out!"

The fat man explained briefly what had happened before, and the three of them ran forward with their heads buried. At this time, the ground motion had weakened a little, and the "puff" sound of fleshy claws hitting the ground behind them continued to approach again.

Seeing that the mountain pass was getting closer and closer, the three of them did not dare to look back to stop the attack. They could only use all their strength to run as fast as they could. When they were still more than ten meters away from the mountain pass, two yellow flashlight lights suddenly hit their faces.

.

"Manager, get down!" Liu Shengli's voice shouted.

The three of them jumped upon hearing the sound, and then several gunshots were heard from the front. When Hu Bayi and Fatty heard the gunshots stop, they quickly got up and shot another round behind them, then quickly picked up Xiao Ran and ran to the mountain pass.

Xiao Ran saw that in front of the mountain pass, in addition to Liu Shengli and Xu Er, there were two other people holding shotguns for defense. He recognized these two people as the young men with the best marksmanship in Futou Village, and had clinked glasses with him on the night of the Wanghuo Banquet.

.

A few people took advantage of the lynx group being knocked down for a moment and hurriedly ran all the way out along the mountain pass. At this time, the earthquake began to intensify again. Everyone was stumbling through the valley, and stones fell from above from time to time.

Xiao Ran glanced behind him and saw a lynx just walking into the mountain pass. The boulders above suddenly fell down, burying the lynx and the mountain pass, as well as all the secrets of the abandoned village and Xianniang Temple.
