Returning from the abyss

Chapter 53 Trends
"Walking corpse" is a horror element used by countless people since ancient times. People are afraid of death, and even more afraid of unknown things that confuse life and death. For ordinary people, just seeing an obviously withered corpse walking towards you, It was already a huge mental shock.

Of course, this is not necessarily a negative impact.

Those who will be frightened to the point of weakness will soon be eliminated by the testing grounds in the distribution center. On the contrary, those who can muster the courage will gradually learn to deal with it and gradually get used to it.

Yuan Xi shot.

The bullet entered the chest of the corpse, lifting a piece of dry and hard tissue like peeling off a rotten board, making a sound like hitting something hard.The impact sent the body back a bit, but that was about it.

"Same as a rock."

Yuan Xi took the gun back dissatisfied.Seeing this, Xiao Shifan was no longer ready to shoot, but just shone a flashlight around, and the shadowy "corpse" was walking in the forest.

"Are you still walking?" he asked.

"No, the things in our hands can't cause any fatal injuries. No, it's better to say that we didn't even find out what was fatal."

When these guys fell off the tree, they scared the two of them. After all, the whole body is surrounded by the tree like bark. It is hard to think of such a hiding method if you don't know it in advance, let alone these guys are "scattered" all over the place. The surface of a tree, which fell off during the attack and took human form.

As for why these corpses became like this, or even whether they are corpses, now is not the time to think about that.

"Slow speed, strong defense, and no obvious weakness. Such characteristics should be guards." Yuan Xi took two steps back and walked to a position beside Xiao Shifan.

"Doesn't that prove that we have found the right place?" Xiao Shifan grinned.

"I'm going to take a risk, I'm going to find out what they protect tonight!"

"Happy to accompany you, Miss Yuan."

The two exchanged a look, and quickly chose a direction that was not surrounded by people and rushed out.

At the same time, at the other end of the city.

A pair of rough hands pressed down on the trees in the forest, making a rustling sound.The hunter wearing a military cap poked his head out of the bushes. The dark environment didn't seem to affect his eyesight, and he could identify the road only with the faint starlight.

Li Zhongxin is very familiar with such an environment. After all, his identity as a hunter is not the same as that of driving ducks to the shelves before, but similar to his job before his death, a forest ranger.

This is already the third day of follow-up.After he and Wang Zongxiang confirmed that the other party was also a "crow" from the distribution center, they prepared to do something in the mountains.For example, does the "burning vehicle shrouded in an evil black mist" really exist?

Although there is still that weird cave and the incident that happened a few days ago, Li Zhongxin is not planning to look for more teammates.He has always believed that as long as he finds enough powerful and reliable companions, one or two will be enough.And Wang Zongxiang is also a person who gives priority to the development of military power. Even if he is not very good at solving puzzles, he can still break through difficulties with his ability.

There is always more than one path in the test field, force, mind, luck, no matter which one has achieved a certain level, you can pass the level.Li Zhongxin does not have extra points to develop in an all-round way, so he would rather go to the extreme on one road.

"Old Li, sorry for being late."

Wang Zongxiang emerged from the bushes behind him.He was carrying a small jug, threw it into Li Zhongxin's hand, and grinned: "Be brave."

Li Zhongdao thanked him, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, the spicy wine slipped down his throat, this kind of stimulation made his fighting spirit even higher.

"Did you find anything?"

Wang Zongxiang took off the shotgun, but Li Zhongxin just shook his head.

"Didn't see any fire, not even a will-o'-the-wisp."

"Ah... is this rumor true..." Wang Zongxiang scratched his beard, but he was not discouraged.There is never a rush in such things as hunting.

"I think it's true."

When Li Zhongxin said this, he also took off the shotgun behind his back, and his sharp eyes stared at the dots of moonlight between the trees.

"Oh?"

"It's so quiet." Li Zhongxin raised his gun and took aim.

"On such a midsummer night, in such a quiet place in the forest, the only place where that thing haunts, I finally found it."

In the silence of the forest, there was not even a single sound, and the low-pitched conversation between the two seemed noisy, which was undoubtedly extremely abnormal.

It's nearby!
Wang Zongxiang suddenly felt a chill behind him, he turned his head hastily, and at the same time pulled Li Zhongxin behind an old tree.

And not far behind them, dots of faint blue flames are rushing through the woods, swiftly but silently, and Li Zhongxin's good night vision can even see that the flames are surrounded by a shape-changing mass. Measured black mist!

"is that one!"

Wang Zongxiang let out a low growl, and Li Zhongxin became even more excited.

"Let's chase!"

Lake Tosu.

The three of them gradually approached the lakeshore. Unlike yesterday, they were extremely well prepared this time. They had already put on diving equipment, and their ears were tightly blocked with earplugs and earmuffs.

"Please, Ali."

Fei Yunwei in the middle said to the air, and then a wonderful fluctuating feeling connected the senses of the three of them.

Soul synchronization, although it cannot directly transmit voice, it can make the tacit understanding between the three people higher, and even simple gestures are enough to convey meaning.

Gao Yunji pointed to the watch and made two gestures.The other two nodded and immediately began taking off their coats.

The area of ​​the lakeshore is not small, even the monsters in that hut need some reaction time, and their goal is only at the bottom of the lake!

After three sounds of falling into the water, a gust of wind suddenly blew up above the lake.

Lu Ning put down her phone. She didn't know how many things happened tonight, but she had some premonitions.

"Sorry... so, about me going to the hospital with you..."

"Unfortunately, I still won't agree."

Chen Xue firmly rejected her.

"It is absolutely forbidden for people who have not received combat training to rush to the front line. Although I have no position to prevent you from going alone, I can stop you outside."

"To put it bluntly, rely on me." Lan Yushu said with a smile.

Although the tone was a bit joking, Lan Yushu didn't look like he would help Lu Ning no matter what.

"Is there nothing to discuss?"

"It's a pity." Chen Xue took out her wallet, "Unless there is a reason why you must participate. By the way, your ability is not within this range, and the pupil technique needs to be protected."

Lu Ning hesitated for a long time, but after all, she couldn't find a perfect reason.

"It's getting late, let's deal with other things first." He Nianqing eased the awkward atmosphere, took Chen Xue's wallet and went to pay the bill.Lan Yushu comforted Lu Ning a few words, but he was obviously not at the point where he could change Chen Xue's decision.However, Lu Ning's request to see the captured monsters was not rejected.After paying the bill, the four went to the place where they temporarily held the monster.

It was under a semi-abandoned building in the old town of Danma.Because of the transfer of the economic center in recent years, few people have come to this place, and even the public transportation is pitifully rare.But because of this, the secrecy is quite strong.

"We have seven people in total, don't think it's too small, there are only so many people who can be transferred to Danma at present." He Nianqing introduced Lu Ning on the road, "The man who guards those monsters is an uncle named Liang Shaokun, he has a good temper , don’t be nervous. As for the other three, there are other matters, and if there is a chance in the future, I can introduce them to you.”

"Okay." Lu Ning answered, but her eyes turned to the building.

suffocating.

Is it those guys?
Walking down the stairs along the cracked steps, you can find that the place has been transformed into a mixed area of ​​prison and laboratory. A middle-aged man in a sweater is lying on a beach chair with a cattail fan in his hand. The man is cooling off in front of the narrow entrance, the style of the painting is completely inconsistent with the cold iron railing and glass wall behind.

"Uncle Liang! We brought people here!"

Lan Yushu raised her hand to greet the inside, Lu Ning noticed that there was a bit of respect and admiration in his tone, and the previous lazy look was completely restrained.

"Oh... are you back? Let me see."

Liang Shaokun sat up from the reclining chair, and several people noticed that he was still wearing earphones on one ear, as if he was listening to something.Chen Xue stepped forward helplessly and took off his earphones, and looked at him with a bit of condemnation: "Don't be too lax during official duties! The team leader will be unhappy if he finds out!"

"No slack, no slack." Liang Shaokun quickly snatched the earphones back, pointed inside, "Everyone is asleep, Xiaoxue, it's not like you don't know, my natural ability is to relax before I can display it."

Lu Ning also came over at this time, and Liang Shaokun's eyes lit up immediately when he saw her: "This girl is not bad."

"...Be careful with your words, Uncle Liang." Chen Xue had to remind her again.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, your skills are good, little girl, I can even feel the hidden energy in your body, you have a bright future."

"He said that to everyone, but Uncle Liang's vision is really accurate." Lan Yushu whispered in Lu Ning's ear.

Lu Ning smiled, and immediately saluted Liang Shaokun.He Nianqing came in last, holding a cigarette in his hand, and the lingering smoke completely enveloped the vicinity of the entrance.After checking, he came over and said, "Let's bring Lu Ning here to confirm whether the ones that caught her are the same type as the one that attacked her before. Please, Uncle Liang, release one of them from sleep."

"Well, you go to Room No. [-], walk to the door and give me a signal." Uncle Liang fanned away the smoke drifting over, "Xiao He, I have to remind you that even though the smoke is your ability, don't take it seriously." Suck, apart from our own abilities, we are just ordinary people, and the chances of getting lung cancer will not decrease."

"Thank you for your concern, but I can't quit for the time being." He Nianqing said haha, patted Lu Ning and let her walk to Room [-] together.
