Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 189 Survival Instinct
"boom!"

The violent explosion caused a deafening tinnitus, and the black ball exploded on the third uncle's back—together with the man, the third uncle's entire body was shattered.

With a touch of scarlet moonlight through the rainstorm, it was already very weak when it shone on the ground.

The sound of the rain covered the fighting in the street, but it couldn't completely cover the explosion of the black ball——

Faint kerosene lamps were lit in the windows on both sides of the street, and the residents in those rooms quietly turned off the dim lights after seeing the scene outside.

They have long been used to such scenes, and they understand that it is not a dispute that they can just watch casually.

The third uncle was bombed with only half of his head left, but even so, Chen Yan's consciousness was not "squeezed out".

The third uncle, with only half of his head left, is still alive.

The mouth on the small half of his remaining head opened and closed, slowly sucking the water diluted by the heavy rain on the ground.

His strength was already very small, and a large part of the water flow into his mouth was lost due to the incomplete mouth, even so, he still did not give up.

Chen Yan felt that the water flow was very dirty, with mud, glass shards, gravel... and even a lot of domestic dirt.

In addition, there is a small amount of blood - that is the purpose of the third uncle.

Chen Yan feels that saying "purpose" is actually not accurate, because the third uncle has lost his human sanity, and the remaining animal instincts in his mind have no clear purpose at all.

If you really want to use "purpose" to explain the motivation of third uncle's behavior, it is "to survive".

Uncle San wants to live.

He swallowed the blood in the sewage, even though the blood came in from his mouth and went out from his rotten ears and nostrils, even though the rainstorm kept pouring into his eyes, washing everything in the broken skull cavity.

He still wants to live.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to retain a trace of blood in such a bad situation.

That blood was transformed into vitality by him, reshaping his cheek muscles, and forming a thin layer of oral mucosa.

These new, fragile biological tissues were quickly punctured by the glass shards contained in the water flow.

The wound was infected rapidly, and a large number of pathogenic bacteria swarmed in. An ugly malignant cyst appeared on the third uncle's face-the deformed thing grew under his still good eye, so the swollen skin covered all his eyes. vision.

Chen Yan's vision was blocked, and there was darkness in front of him.

All he knew was that third uncle still did not give up swallowing.

He sucked non-stop, always able to catch some blood in the sewage, and the blood reshaped his body, even though the speed of remodeling was quite slow - but the "rebirth" was still going on non-stop.

Chen Yan didn't know how long it took until the rainstorm stopped, and there were voices in the corner alley, and the third uncle was finally able to move slowly:

Even though he didn't have hands and feet yet, he approached a certain sewer opening by slowly wriggling, and got in together with the dwindling sewage before being discovered by people.

People may see his shadow, but only think that shadow is a big mouse.

At this time, the third uncle has extremely strong willpower.

The unbelievable desire to survive made him struggle in the stinky sewer, and occasionally felt the noise around him, so he relied on his soft and resilient body to rush over and bite the person who made the noise to death in his mouth——

That's usually a rat, or a snake full of poison and all kinds of parasites and bacteria.

Fortunately, third uncle is not much cleaner than the dirty things in the sewer.

During this process, the third uncle's vision gradually recovered, and the reborn eyes allowed him to have a blurred vision again. He could only capture moving things and turn a blind eye to static things——Chen Yan knew that snakes were like this .

But the third uncle can't grow his arms.

Chen Yan could even feel that where his limbs used to be, now he didn't even have any bones.

The third uncle seems to have really turned into a snake...

A snake with a human head.

Fortunately, his human consciousness has recovered.

He swam in the sewers, using the human voice above the sewers to identify his location, the snake's hearing was poor, but he had to do it because he couldn't get out of the sewers——

It's not because he is a snake with a human head now, but because he has low self-esteem because of his own state. He feels that he is no longer a human being and cannot return to the world of normal human beings.

He had remorse in his heart, but this remorse was soon overwhelmed by the will to live.

Uncle San wants to live.

When Chen Yan experienced this memory, he didn't feel the passage of time. This seemed to be the third uncle's impression of this memory—in his memory, this time was patience, foraging, and fear... day to day.

I do not know how long it has been.

The third uncle got out of a sewer. He had been observing here for three nights, and he was sure that this was Taisheng and the hall on Walker Street.

Taking advantage of the stillness of the night, he climbed into the yard along the wall, cruised through the corridor with vermilion lacquered beams and pillars, and finally stopped in front of the reception room of Xanthium annuum.

He straightened up and tapped lightly on the carved double wooden door of the reception room with his head.

"Brother, it's me..."

He hasn't spoken human words for a long time, and he has forgotten how to say hello.

In a moment, the door was opened.

Xanthium, who was wearing a sacrificial attire, was standing behind the door, with half of his face covered by a black mask.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Chen Yan could still see the perverted blush on the side of his cheek.

"Brother Ansheng, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

He looked at the third uncle with a human head and a snake body, and there was no timidity or disgust in his eyes, but full of "surprise".

Chen Yan was startled by this frenzied "surprise".

He realized that when Xanthium sent the bottle of blood to the third uncle, he must have known that the third uncle would end up in this way!

The third uncle obviously wanted to understand this fact.

"Brother, brother, you made me suffer..."

After finishing these words in a resentful voice, third uncle's resentment even burst out from the top of his head, becoming a few wisps of highly poisonous smoke.

Xanthium obviously expected this situation, he said patiently through the mask:

"There is a proverb in the empire called "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight". It is similar to our saying that we must endure hardships to become a master. If you want to have power beyond ordinary people, you must bear the price..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the bitter voice of the third uncle: "Do you want to say that you didn't tell me because I didn't ask about the price I need to bear, right?"

Chen Yan felt that the third uncle was losing his mind at this time, because the third uncle didn't usually speak like this - such blunt words seemed too stupid, and the usual third uncle would disdain to say them.
