The air in the sewer is quite turbid, especially the feeling of stepping in the mud, which brings great torture to people... A smell mixed with rottenness and stench keeps jumping up from below, and every time you step on it,
Every foot feels like it's about to sink in.
As he moved forward, Ling Mo kept looking around, but the more he looked, the more his scalp felt numb. Not only on the ground, there were also many strange marks on the cement walls on both sides. At first glance, they looked like
Mold spots or moss, but if you look at them for a long time, you will find that those marks are mostly made of a mixture of flesh and mucus... This is true even for walls, not to mention the composition of these silts...
But it was disgusting. After choosing this path, they did not encounter those centipede people again. Not only that, there was almost silence in the sewer, and it was a completely different world compared to the outside. Not long after walking, Ling Mo already had
It gave me a very long feeling. The unchanging environment and depressing atmosphere fully demonstrated that this was really not a place suitable for human existence.
Especially after thinking of Xia Na's words, Ling Mo felt more and more like this place was like another space. A place hidden under the city that was extremely dangerous and full of fear.
"Zombies are no longer the only monsters..." Ling Mo repeated silently in his heart, recalling Shana's expression when he said this... He rarely saw such an expression on Shana's face... That was
A complex expression that mixes the emotions of both zombies and humans at the same time. It seems to be a little relieved, but also a little joyful...
"It's like having a new kindred spirit? No... more of a feeling of no longer being alone..."
Perhaps for Shana, the meaning of this kind of underground creatures is the same as the feeling of human beings constantly pursuing alien creatures. Not only alien creatures, but also the anthropomorphized protagonists of the story... They
The reason why it frequently appears in human fantasies and expectations may also be because of the loneliness of the human group...
What would it be like if there were advanced beings like him in this world... Looking back, Ling Mo suddenly realized that he had also had such wild thoughts.
Only the emergence of zombies completely shattered this illusion. The emergence of new species has brought about the current situation of human beings on the verge of extinction...
"There may not be many humans who would think of this topic at this time..." Ling Mo couldn't help but think with some sadness.
In today's environment, I don't know how many people are praying for the disappearance of zombies... What new species? This is simply a disaster... To put it bluntly, this is a battle for resources between two species, but if you go deeper
At a point, this is the collision between two civilizations... Humanity has been crushed, but it still exists. Zombies are all over the world, but only a few of them have truly evolved to an advanced stage...
"But why don't zombies think so? This kind of centipede man also has a very clear attitude towards zombies...food, and it is captive food. If the entire underground is full of them, then sooner or later they will also develop to the surface.
Come up..." Ling Mo thought with a headache.
Humans, zombies, underground creatures, mutant beasts...this is all he knows so far. But who knows if there are any new monsters being born somewhere else?
It's not just humans. Survival of other species is also very difficult. This is a real era of "if you don't compete, you will die"...
"Ling Mo, look."
Li Yalin suddenly stopped, raised her hand and pointed to a corner not far away, and said softly.
Looking in the direction of her finger, Ling Mo immediately saw a cement hole.
"It leads to another building..." Ling Mo guessed.
The one they passed through before should be the drainage pipe of Lawson Company...
But after taking a second look, Ling Mo discovered something was wrong, and this was probably the real reason why it attracted Li Yalin's attention...
There seemed to be a hand reaching out from the edge of the cement hole...
"I'll go over and take a look."
Ling Mo sped up and walked through the mud.
Seeing how fast he moved, Li Yalin and Shana also came over curiously.
The three of them all seemed to be looking forward to it, but they were not nervous... Obviously, this couldn't be a living creature. The hands didn't look like those of a centipede, and if it was a zombie, it couldn't lie there honestly.
.
"It's a corpse." Ling Mo said as soon as he walked to the cement hole and took a look.
The corpse looked like it had been there for a long time, with its head twisted strangely and a pair of empty eyes staring at Ling Mo. Although his face was mutilated, it could still be seen from his teeth that he had
It's a human being...
"It's not completely rotten yet..." Ling Mo stared at his withered hand and said.
"Because the blood has been sucked clean, and the temperature here is also very low..." Shana analyzed.
"But since there are corpses here, it means there must be that kind of monster moving around here..." Ling Mo looked around and said.
Shana also turned her head and glanced a few times, but finally turned her gaze back to the corpse.
"How do you usually drag a corpse?" Shana suddenly murmured.
"Map it with your hands!" Li Yalin replied quickly.
Ling Mo looked at the corpse and thought for a while, then replied: "From the perspective of making it easier for him to move, it should be dragging his feet... Eh!" When Ling Mo said this, he suddenly showed a look of realization, "Is it possible?
…”
"That's right!" Shana gently snapped her fingers and said, "The body must have been dragged inward from here, so the palms were stuck at the edge. And if you think about it, weren't the group of monsters we encountered before
Are they living underground under Rosen Company? In other words, these monsters may not stay in this kind of passage, but will stay in a more closed place..."
As she said that, Shana looked into the cement hole with great anticipation: "In other words, there is also a group of people here... Brother Ling," she looked up at Ling Mo and said, "Do you want to go in?"
Of course he didn't want to go in... but he felt a little uncomfortable just leaving like this...
"Brother Ling, I want to confirm more." Shana said with a hint of coquettishness, "Okay?"
"Confirm what?"
"Are humanoid monsters a single species?" Shana tilted her head and asked.
"Single...yes!"
There are already people with superpowers among humans, and there are also high-level and low-level zombies, as well as the difference between ordinary zombies and mutant zombies. What about underground creatures?
The earlier we can deepen our understanding of them, the earlier we can find out how to prevent them... At least before they crawl out of the ground, we must master the means to deal with them on the ground!
"I come."
Ling Mo turned away and walked up, grabbing the corpse's clothes.
"I'm offended..."
After saying something silently, he suddenly pulled the body down.
Most of the corpse's body was gone long ago, so it didn't fall into the mud after it came out of the cement hole. Instead, Ling Mo reluctantly carried it in his hand. He found a fairly flat place to put it.
After coming down, he took out some broken bones scattered in the cave and placed them next to the corpse.
Shana and the two girls watched this scene silently. It wasn't until Ling Mo was completely finished that he looked into the cave.
"Can you smell anything?" Ling Mo asked.
Li Yalin shook her head: "It feels like there is nothing over there."
"That's right, it means it's all mucus over there." Ling Mo looked deep into the place warily, but could see nothing but a gray patch.
"I'll go first."
He moved his body and then climbed in first.
But just after he entered the cement cave, he suddenly heard Shana ask: "Brother Ling, what were you thinking about just now?"
"Ah?" Ling Mo half-crouched in the cave and turned around with some difficulty.
"I feel like you have something on your mind." Shana said.
She also crawled into the hole, and now the red glasses were shining with a faint light, staring deeply at Ling Mo.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ling Mo suddenly found that her black eyes had turned into a deep gem, which seemed to be constantly reflecting light, giving it a dazzling feeling at first glance.
Although this feeling was fleeting, Ling Mo was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Ling Mo didn't answer, Xia Na raised the corner of her mouth and smiled and said: "Actually, I felt it even if you didn't tell me. Are you worried? About these humanoid monsters? But, Brother Ling, you have always been worried about us.
It's the same thing even this time. It's obviously a fight with zombies, but we are not allowed to directly participate..."
"By the way, I haven't settled this matter yet..."
"Are we weak?" Shana suddenly asked.
Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly: "Of course not... Ye Lian killed the mother zombie, and the other two high-level zombies were killed by the cooperation of my senior sister and me, and Xia Na, you also kept silent.
I found this place..."
"Ahem... I won't be happy if you praise me like this..." Shana rolled her eyes, then touched her hair awkwardly and said, "Actually, that's not what I meant... How should I put it..." She
Biting his lip and thinking for a while, he said, "No matter what, we are different from other zombies! We have a human to protect us! If you put it another way, Brother Ling is also different from other people, because you are with us
There are... love sisters, senior sisters, and so on... so there is no need to worry so much, just live together... There are new species, and it is not necessarily a bad thing..."
She spoke softer and quieter, and finally, under Ling Mo's gaze, she suddenly grabbed the sickle and thrust it forward: "I hate it so much, get out quickly! It smells so bad!"
"Damn it...who insists on talking here! It's unreasonable..."
"Stupid humans...have you ever seen a reasonable zombie?"
"What are you doing? I want to go in too..." Li Yalin's voice came weakly from behind... (To be continued...)
ps: I have a toothache today qaq, I will make up for it in the fourth update tomorrow.
