Volume III, Second Floor, Abyss, Chapter 89, Insects
It was different from what I saw from the outside. After I got deep into the weeds, I realized that there was almost no light source inside. It was so dark that even the people around me could not be seen. Moreover, these tall and lush weeds were as sharp as razor blades.
If you are not careful, the clothes you are wearing will get a cut, and it is even more likely that you will get a cut on your own skin.
Fortunately, I still have a flashlight, otherwise I would not be able to find my way in the grass.
"Tang Yong, what should we do now? I'm so scared."
Qiu Yanling protected Tang Ling in her arms with one hand, and tightly grasped Tang Yong's sleeve with the other hand. Under the dim light, she looked at the gloomy scene around her, swallowed her saliva, and said fearfully.
Before entering the grass, you could still hear some noises, but since entering, those crazy shouting voices have disappeared. The surroundings have become quiet, and you can only hear their feet stepping in the mud, and their clothes scratching.
Through the friction of plants, heavy and dull breathing, and thumping heartbeat.
There are lush weeds everywhere, and pedestrians can only move forward by pulling the grass in front of them with their hands. The visibility here is almost zero, and they can only rely on weak hearing to sense the dangers around them.
"Where did everyone else go?"
Tang Yong asked Yan Zhengguo's family who had not yet separated.
"I don't know. I was in such a hurry just now that I didn't have time to take into account the situation of the people around me."
Yan Zhengguo pushed aside the grass beside him and replied.
"Mom, it's so dark here and I'm so scared."
Eight-year-old Yan Yan looked at the darkness around him and shrank in Wang Fanglu's arms with fear, his body trembling slightly.
Now in their group, Tang Yong and Yan Zhengguo are responsible for clearing the way with tools, while Qiu Yanling and Wang Fanglu are protecting their children with one hand and holding the tools in their hands with the other hand to be alert that something will suddenly come out from behind.
.
"What on earth was that thing just now? That person is just like that..."
Wang Fanglu comforted Yan Yan for a few words, and recalling the body of the man lying in a pool of blood, she felt a chill and said to the others in fear.
"It's so scary. What is that thing? I didn't even see it clearly..." After listening to Wang Fanglu's words, Qiu Yanling also recalled the tragic situation just now. She hugged Tang Ling tightly and felt the warmth from Tang Ling in her arms.
The warm temperature makes me feel less nervous.
"Lingling, are you okay?"
Qiu Yanling expressed concern towards Tang Ling in her arms. From the beginning, her daughter had been silent. She did not yell when she witnessed the horrific thing just now. It could even be said that she did not react at all. Qiu Yanling was a little worried that Tang Ling was
It’s not like I’ve been frightened and haven’t recovered yet.
The rustling sounds are still coming to my ears. Different from the recklessness just now, I am now crawling carefully, trying not to make a big noise, and slowly getting closer in the weeds. Those who are still there
The panicked man couldn't control his appetite, and his saliva flowed out all over the floor. A winding dark trace was printed on the dry soil, but no one paid attention to it in this dark area.
arrive.
"Mom..." Tang Ling heard Qiu Yanling's call. She slowly raised her head and answered somewhat sluggishly: "The front... is very close."
"What?"
No one understood what Tang Ling meant, but at this moment Tang Yong and Qiu Yanling suddenly remembered the text message they had seen before, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. Tang Yong quickly stopped Yan Zhengguo, who was about to move forward.
, took his arm and said to the people around him: "Shh, turn off the flashlight, squat down, and don't move."
"What's wrong?"
Although the others were confused, they followed suit and squatted down slowly. Yan Zhengguo walked next to Tang Yong and asked quietly, looking at him with a look of confusion as he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Before Tang Yong could answer him, a small sound slowly came from the front attracted everyone's attention.
"Lululu..."
Because there is no light, the visibility is even lower, but after getting used to the darkness, you can still vaguely see some scenes. After calming down, your various senses are amplified.
It is similar to the rustling sound of a snake crawling in the grass, the grass blades are pressed to the ground with huge force, making a squeaking noise, and there is also the clicking sound after being unfortunately crushed, and it is similar to the purring sound of a cat sleeping.
The sound. In the mixed smell of earth and grass, an unspeakable stench suddenly slowly seeped in, like the overbearing acid that hit the face when an abandoned sewer that people hated was suddenly opened after decades of dust.
The smell was getting closer and closer, making Tang Yong and the others almost suffocate.
Yan Yan in Wang Fanglu's arms twisted his body uncontrollably and protested. Wang Fanglu was so frightened that she hugged him tightly and covered her child's protesting sound with her hands. No one was aware of it.
He started to hold his breath, and even though his legs were numb from squatting, he didn't dare to move around.
A huge black shadow passed in front of them, almost blocking all the vague light in the grass. It seemed to be taller than an adult. Fortunately, there were a few blades of grass blocking it, otherwise Tang Yong and Yan Zhengguo would really
I want to get up close and personal with this behemoth.
It moved forward slowly, causing the surrounding leaves to tremble a few times. I couldn't see the original appearance of this thing clearly, but I just felt that it was very long, just like it used to wait for the train to pass outside the railing in order to cross the track.
However, the tail of the train was not seen for quite a while. This thing of unknown length kept moving in front of them, as if centuries had passed and they could not see it completely leaving.
"hiss."
Suddenly, Yan Zhengguo felt that his face was swept by something, and then a small cut was made. A numbing pain came from his face. Yan Zhengguo touched his face and felt something strange.
The thing that just brushed across his face, that downy feeling, seemed to be hair?
He groped for the wound on his face with his hand. It was probably only half the length of a finger. The wound didn't seem very deep, but why was it so painful?
After the behemoth completely left and could no longer feel its breath, everyone began to breathe rapidly as if they were coming back from the dead, and they were covered in cold sweat from fear.
"What on earth is that?" Tang Yong patted his chest, thinking that they were only so close to death just now, and he was still in shock.
"I think that thing is a bit like... a caterpillar?"
Yan Zhengguo covered the wound on his face that started to bleed and said to the people around him.
