The World is Sick

"I'm going to pass through the outer ring of the town soon, and no life reaction has been found yet..."

Alice and Laura, Leon and Chris, and Kevin and Ada are in pairs, forming three sharp cones with each other. They pass on the information they have obtained to each other through tactical sign language.

And as the team passed through the border of the town where the fog was slightly thinner, the scene after the town card gradually appeared in front of everyone.

On the dead road, there is no one inhabited, crooked vehicles, some broke down due to impact, some were torn apart by some kind of huge force, and the wreckage was scattered randomly.

And some townspeople who closed the car windows and hid in the car were not spared.

Most of them maintain deformed and distorted postures, pressed on the car seat, their bodies hollowed out by unknown species.

Not only blood, but also organs, brains, and even bone marrow were sucked out. This purgatory-like scene makes people shudder.

Fortunately, the wolf pack tactical team drawn from the SCP Foundation is the elite of the elite, and each of them has experienced at least seven or eight horrible situations where they almost survived.

But in terms of viability and psychological quality, it is definitely one in a million.

Therefore, even after witnessing the tragic situation in the carriages on both sides, a group of more than [-] wolves did not panic at all, and kept a stable formation as they walked forward.

Laura, who was in charge of the left wing, pulled out the high-definition satellite map from the tactical backpack, glanced at the compass spinning wildly, and gave up the strategy of identifying the direction through the magnetic field.

"Commander, now it's best to use landmark references to determine the route."

"According to my estimation, we can pass through the town center and go up the mountain along the main road. Although there are many unknown factors in this line, it is the shortest distance."

Kevin nodded slightly when he heard the words. As an archaeologist, Laura has absolute talent in terms of exploration and pathfinding.

At the same time, after several rounds of tests, the man finally confirmed that his power was almost suppressed to zero, and the eyebrows could not help but gather deeply.

The environment here gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had met him at a certain time and place.

Just as Kevin was thinking seriously, a rustling sound came from all directions, like a rushing tide, making one's scalp numb.

Immediately, from the cracks in the tiles, the grass, the sewers, the eaves, and even the human shells on the car seats, the nail-sized spiders with crystal bellies rushed out densely, jumping wildly towards these delicious living things.

Come on, bastard!Burn you bastards to death!

Fortunately, the wolf pack team was well prepared. There were three soldiers with flamethrowers on the two flanks.

When the flames passed by, crackling and popping sounds continued to reach everyone's ears, and bursts of scorched protein stink permeated.

In just two or three minutes, the flame fan was maintained, at least hundreds of little monsters were burned to ashes.

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the sound of rubble sliding on both sides resounded again.

"Chuck! Chuck!"

With the sound of breaking the air, two cross marks flew over the heads of the three flamethrowers on the left, nailing two insects that were similar to spiders but covered with hard carapaces to the eaves.

The miserable green blood and the fluff from their mouths fell on the floor, and green smoke rose immediately, which was obviously extremely corrosive.

"Left flank, 10 o'clock direction, something in the fog is coming!"

Seeing that the monster had been staring at her, Alice stopped hiding. She took off the standard HK416 rifle, warned in a low voice, and fired long and short bursts based on her feeling.

Immediately, the sound of breaking rubble and the penetrating sound of bullets piercing flesh came and went.

"Be careful! There are also front and right wings! We will take care of this end, and you will be responsible for the rest!"

Laura pulled out her gun, and Alice and Alice relied on each other. With their keen perception, they made up for the omissions of their teammates' firepower network.

"Chris, Leon, keep the right wing formation!"

"Mother Wolf, Hank, Kyoko, keep an eye on the back, don't fall behind, fill in the gaps diagonally!"

"Ida and I lead the way, don't stay where you are, keep moving fast!"

"If you get separated, meet at the supermarket in the town center, which is the only way to go to the mountaintop research institute!"

Kevin looked at the violently surging fog around him, and rushed forward with Ada from left to right. Everyone understood, and immediately maintained a scattered but not chaotic formation, followed closely behind.

But before walking a few steps, the ground shook violently, and cracks like spider webs spread to the surroundings centered on the drains and sewers.

In an instant, seven or eight manhole covers around them exploded one after another and were washed away by the muddy mud flow.

Immediately, dozens of purple-red tentacles with sharp teeth on both sides protruded from the sewer, swung and swept around.

"Why are you in a daze, do you want to die? Let's go!"

Chris turned his head and roared angrily, kicking the two flamethrowers who were hesitating to give the tentacles a barbecue.

Immediately, the inch-headed evil star took off a grenade, pulled out the pull ring, and threw it towards one of the tentacle wrists.

Lyon on the side saw the tentacles making sweeping motions, coincidentally about to flick the grenade away, and the agent of the middle division raised his hand without hesitation and shot the grenade directly in mid-air.

"Spread out, the creatures in the fog have corrosive properties, prop up the explosion-proof shield! Pay attention to the angle! Don't let the corpses and the body fluids of these monsters splash on you!"

Kyoko Yamaha looked at the corroded potholes on the surrounding ground, and immediately reminded the surrounding soldiers.

But as the team moved forward, more and more disturbed monsters began to frantically gather here.

The number of those sharp teeth and tentacles whose main body was unknown increased several times, and they scratched around the heads and surroundings of the wolf pack team.

What's more troublesome is that the buzzing of insects and the flapping of birds' wings became clearer and clearer, and it was clear that a new monster was coming.

Seeing the purple-red arms and feet behind him chasing after him, Kevin immediately took off a high-explosive grenade, turned his head and drank in a low voice.

"sewer!"

Alice was the first to understand, falling slightly behind the team, and kicked away the undamaged manhole cover next to it.

The high-explosive grenade immediately fell into the sewer with a parabolic trajectory.

Biogas!That's right, the sewers are full of methane gas. Just detonate it and kill you octopus brothers!

Lyon and the others immediately understood Kevin's intentions, and relying on their inhuman physical fitness, they threw grenades into the sewer while running.

At that time, even if the tentacle monster hidden in the ground cannot be completely smashed, at least it can be trapped in the ground or forced out of the ground.

Suddenly, dull roars sounded one after another, because of the existence of methane, the interconnected sewers had a chain reaction.

The ground trembled constantly, and the turbid dirty stream mixed with purple-red minced meat splashed wantonly.

The biggest threat behind him, whether it was life or death, finally subsided.

However, the running team, which was gradually becoming disjointed, suddenly stopped at this moment. More than [-] people squeezed to the front, and their eyes were immediately attracted by the towering figure in the mist.

ps: Please ask for tickets at the third watch, thank you.

This disaster is partly based on the 2007 American movie "The Mist", Stephen King's work, very good, I recommend watching it.

Chapter 871 Chapter Eight hundred thirty-three

Inside the surging mist was a monster with a height of more than ten meters and a sharp cone-shaped head. The outside of the pale skeleton was clinging to a layer of shriveled skin, and groups of scarlet tentacles spread out from the inside of the open chest cavity, exploring or preying on the surroundings.

Nightmare whispers all around, like countless iron nematodes, piercing through the skin and skull, seeping into the brain, shuttling and stirring, making people almost crazy.

Tentacles, thick fog, abnormal life... This feels like... Skull Island!

Kevin took a deep breath, his face was a little ugly, and some bad memories were drawn out.

However, there was no time to think about it here. As the predatory tentacles fell, Kevin, Alice and the others rolled and dodged in one go, avoiding every attack with precision.

But not everyone in the team of more than [-] people has the skills like Kevin and others.

A soldier carrying a heavy machine gun was pulled into the open rib by the wrapped tentacles.

Without waiting for Kevin and the others to help, the seemingly soft tentacles suddenly stretched straight, and amidst the tearing sound like a rag bag, the soldier was torn in half, a cloud of blood and colorful viscera, Scattered everywhere.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Alice and Leon were in charge of the left and right wings, or pulled out grenades, or added rifle grenades, aimed at the monster's open ribs, and projected explosives into it.

The group of tentacles in the chest instinctively pulled all flying objects into the main body, and the moment the ribs closed, a dull roar came.

Immediately, pieces of scarlet flesh splashed all over the place, and white bone fragments swished around. The monster, whose body had been blown off by nearly a third, staggered a few steps while breathing black smoke, and gradually stood still.

"Go! Forward!"

Kevin took the plastic bomb thrown by Ada, and the female agent slid across the monster's knife-like leg bones, and each attached the bomb to the monster's leg joints.

A group of wolf pack soldiers who followed closely took advantage of the gap when the tentacles were cleaned up and scattered across the area where the monster was.

Immediately, the front team changed to the back row, and Kevin and Ada, who were in charge of alternate cover, pressed the detonation button at the same time, and in the blazing fire, the thick knife-shaped leg bone broke from it.

The sharp whistling sound came from nowhere, and spread to the surroundings, shaking people's hearts, making them dizzy and vomiting.

After the leader ran for more than ten minutes, everyone was fortunate to find that the monster did not pursue it, and the scream seemed to be shielded by the fog, and finally died.

Everyone then slowed down a little and adjusted their breathing slightly.

But as the distance deepened, the fog seemed to get heavier and thicker. After walking a few steps, no one could see the front and rear figures.

The soldiers each turned on the tactical flashlights on their equipment, kept a stable distance, and sent messages from time to time to echo each other so as not to disperse.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

But immediately, the sound of insects flapping their wings became more and more approaching. A fist-sized, mosquito-like insect flew straight towards the light source through the thick fog.

"Fuck! There's no end to this shit!"

Chris was a little irritable, bent his knees and jumped up, nailing the mosquito-like insect to the pole neatly.

"Most bugs are phototaxis, turn off the flashlight!"

Kyoko Yamaha sipped into the headset, and then added another sentence.

"The secretions of adults of this size are basically poisonous. If you don't want to die, don't be bitten by them!"

Under the suggestion of the virology expert, half of the surrounding light sources were extinguished for a moment.

Laura, who was in the front row after the team change, estimated the number of steps she took from the town card, and referred to the surrounding scenery, and reminded the team members in a deep voice with superhuman memory and perception.

"Attention all units, at 7 o'clock, about 100 meters ahead, is the small town supermarket. According to the icon, there is a pharmacy next to it. Go ahead and fix it!"

"Let Kyoko collect materials on the spot, prepare some insect repellents, and spray them on her body. It's better than being encountered by these things!"

Seeing the "black mist" enveloping, Alice pulled out a shotgun, and immediately pulled the trigger. The scattered coins, like hundreds of high-speed spinning blades, forcibly dispersed the black mist into large pieces.

Amidst the crisp sound of jingling, Alice threw the shotgun to the team members behind to load it, while she pulled out the other one behind her and stepped forward to open the way.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the soil layer was opened, and a sharp-toothed tentacle that had been hidden for a long time grabbed a soldier and dragged it towards the sewer.
