Hang up to study, I became a master of esoteric religion

Mariko patted the squad leader on the back with his hands. At this time, the squad leader can't collapse, and then he can go back after only 79 days of survival, so he must hold on.

"Let's drive out and take a look, don't be so bored."

Mariko touched the squad leader's back lightly with his hand, the girl's back felt a faint warmth, but at the moment she had no intention of appreciating it.

The squad leader was depressed for more than ten seconds, listening to Yuanzi's comforting voice, the ice valley in his heart was melted by the rising sun and turned into a spring-filled valley with mountain springs flowing.

"Thank you Yuanzi, for always comforting me when I am at my lowest." The squad leader turned around slowly, opened his hands with emotion, clasped Yuanzi's neck, and hugged each other tightly.

Yuanzi's citrus aroma is all in front of the nostrils. The more you smell it, the higher you go.

Mariko froze, she could feel the monitor sniffing the back of her neck, making it itchy.

An inadvertent little movement by the class monitor made Yuanzi tremble slightly, and she wondered, "Why are you shaking?"

After finishing speaking, the squad leader let go of his hand to see Yuanzi's expression.

How should I put it, there was a slight blush on that white, tender and delicious face.

"That just made me itchy, don't you know." Yuanzi was embarrassed to say what she really thought in her heart, and only said the superficial reason.

"Sorry, I didn't think of this, I just did it subconsciously, and I won't do it next time." The squad leader showed a "please rest assured" expression.

But Yuanzi was not at ease when he heard that, and said unhappy, "No, please do this next time."

Squad Leader: "???"

The squad leader is a good guy in his heart, but I actually got the wrong idea.

……

The No.13 day that came to the dreamland.

The two drove the van and slowly drove away from City 1.

When the two of them left, they chose to leave in the early morning to ensure that they had a whole day for them to make full use of.

Mariko spread out the city-level map, pointed at the map and said, "The next city No. 2 is by the sea, let's go to the sea to see the beach."

After driving away from City No. [-], the high-rise buildings outside immediately disappeared. It was all flat farmland, forests, and layers of black mountains in the distance.

The squad leader was driving and saw that there were no cars on the road. He distractedly glanced at the suburban scenery, and was immediately stunned by the scenery outside.

I saw strange vegetation growing on the farmland in the outskirts. It was something like wheat, but it was stronger and more strange.

The rice field is not the golden color as imagined, but the black wheat stalks bear red wheat.

In the wet black land, there are strange things rolling, twisting and knotting in the wheat field.

From a distance, it looks like a swimming octopus tentacles, suddenly drilled out, and sometimes hidden in the soil.

"What's that?" The squad leader's heart sank to the bottom. She had a hunch that the world outside the city was not safe.

Mariko also saw a strange object in the wheat field, like a snake or an octopus tentacles, it was difficult to describe its shape in words.

Yuanzi held the gun, turned on the thermal imaging scope, and aimed at the wheat field area. In the black and white vision, there was a yellow and green line with a white object wrapped in red inside.

Yellow and green represent lower temperatures, while red represents higher temperatures. At first glance, the things in the wheat fields are indeed elongated animals like snakes.

However, the end of the thing was actually connected to the soil, and the exposed body was only a part of the monster's body.

Mariko did not shoot for safety.

The squad leader also stepped up the accelerator and quickly drove away from the wheat field.

But the wheat field on the right is too wide, leaving the first wheat field area, there is the next wheat field.

Looking far away, there are always some strange black tentacle-like objects rolling in the mud field in the wheat field visible to the naked eye.

Those wheats are bright red, and the straws are black, red and black, matching the muddy ground that breeds ominous creatures, a feeling of terror, unknown, and depression rushed over.

Yuanzi was holding the gun tightly, and she didn't dare to turn on the proxy function, because if the gun went off, God knows how many strange creatures would come out of the wheat field to chase the two of them.

However, Yuanzi still wanted to know the attitude of the system.

The opponent is the enemy?Or a neutral creature?

Yuanzi only activated the replacement function, silently feeling its judgment.

If it chooses to shoot, Yuanzi will suspend the attack to prevent the situation from escalating.

Mariko's hand was in the system's custody state, and he aimed the gun at the snake-like creature rolling in the wheat field within a second, and locked on to that weird thing at all times.

Fortunately, the system only aimed, and did not shoot.

Because the system consulted Yuanzi's perceived information, he didn't sense the killing intent.

However, the system judged that the target was a huge threat, and chose not to shoot in the preview. Once it found that the enemy had killing intent, it would shoot at the first time.

Mariko breathed a sigh of relief after knowing the system's judgment. Fortunately, the situation was not so critical that it needed to be shot down.

On the squad leader's side, he changed his focus to driving, and no longer had the mind to look at the weird scenery on both sides.

The squad leader found Mariko previewing the target on the wheat field, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?"

Chapter 19 k?'θu:lu:!

"It's safe for now." Mariko replied.

after an hour.

The vehicle successfully arrived at the entrance of the toll station in City 2. The protective trees on both sides of the entrance were twisted and strangely shaped, as if a dead person who had died with death pointed to the sky, trying to borrow something from the sky.

The car went all the way, did not enter the city, but drove along the ring expressway towards the beach.

Mariko wanted to see the sea, and the squad leader also wanted to know what the ocean in this world is like.

The Ring Expressway surrounds the buildings in the center of the city, and there are many high-rise buildings in the distance, refracting the sun in the sun.

But Mariko's attention is not on the building, but looking across the city to the ocean behind the city.

The thick cloud layer seems to be something born from the sea level, stretching over a large area, like the common cumulus rain in Japanese comics, the weather is clear, but the clouds are very huge.

There seemed to be something over there, silently attracting them.

Soon, the two knew what the sea was like.

On the other side of the sea, there is a huge shadow standing on the sea.

The two of them couldn't tell how big that thing was. It was hidden in the huge cumulonimbus cloud, and there was only a fixed back.

It has a round head, countless exaggerated beard shadows on its chin, and tree roots splitting out from its lower body.

The two saw many black "tree roots" on the surface of the ocean, protruding out of the ocean, curling up and inserting into the ocean at the other end, and so on.

The entire sea is occupied by this strange "tree root". The two faced the unknown with fear and curiosity.

The squad leader couldn't control her hands. There was a magical power on the other side of the sea that attracted her hands, making her drive there non-stop.

As I got closer and closer to the sea, the sky above my head changed at some point. It was no longer clear and bright, but turned into a gray foggy sky, and the visibility plummeted.

The vicinity of the beach has been shrouded in a cloud of mist, the huge shadow is hidden in the sea, and its majestic shape can be vaguely seen even from a long distance.

The two of them didn't need to get out of the car, but they saw a giant "tree root" curled up at the end of the beach, inserting obliquely into the sand, as if absorbing nutrients from the earth.

Yuanzi didn't need to use the system to perceive, just looking at the "roots" on the beach, he felt his hair go numb, and his whole body was numb.

The squad leader's hands and feet also went numb, and the out-of-control car crashed into the anti-collision belt, shaking the two of them.

Only then did the squad leader barely regain his self-awareness, and the genetic instinct emerged in his body—seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

"Run away!"

The fear in my heart continued to magnify, and my body just wanted to escape, so I quickly controlled the car to reverse, turned my back to the beach and left the area.

The accelerator is fully stepped on, the engine is constantly roaring, the speed of the car is soaring to the highest level, and countless gusts of wind hit the car windows, as if there are many handprints pressed on the car windows, making a crackling sound.

Along the way, the squad leader didn't know how to escape.

She had no idea what she wanted to see about that thing on the beach.

"Yaya."

On the way, a crow flew over.

Mariko was lying on the side seat, sweating all over. She was also so frightened just now that she couldn't move at all.

Since the two of them were terrified and distracted, they didn't care about the crows passing overhead.

When the two came back to their senses, they were already in City No. 2.

The goosebumps on the two of them have not subsided, and the wordless fear is still hanging in their hearts.

"What a scary thing." Yuanzi swallowed.

Mariko didn't see the numbers.

With that huge body, it is too difficult to find the number. Could it be the top [-] creatures, or the top [-], or the top [-]?

She didn't dare to guess further. .

As soon as she thought that there were such horrible things in this world, Mariko suddenly felt that the outside was very unsafe, and she especially wanted to go back to the quiet and safe No. [-] Experimental City.

The squad leader recalled that weird thing, his palms trembled, and his whole body was soaked in sweat, whether it was his back or his thighs.

If they hadn't hit the guardrail at that time and awakened their survival instincts, they might have gotten off the car and walked to the "tree root" to sacrifice their bodies.

"This world is too dangerous, Mariko, we have to get out of here."

The squad leader didn't want to stay in the second city at this time, he just wanted to go back to the first city.

The two of them summed it up, and they didn't even eat lunch at noon, and returned directly to No. 2 City.

But on the way back, in City No. 2, I still encountered some animals that appeared during the day.

Mariko activates the substitute function, even if she is afraid in her heart, under the control of the system, her gun is still steady, and she shoots frantically, with a god-level pressure gun, and kills her with a headshot. No animal can stand up to her ferocious firepower.

Under the suppression of this kind of firepower, the two left No. 2 City without any risk.

After leaving No. 2 City, the inexplicable terror faded a bit.

But the two of them didn't dare to look back at the giant monster on the ocean, and both of them had an indescribable sense of fear towards that thing.

after an hour.

When the two returned to Experimental City No. [-], the horror in their hearts did not subside.

After returning home, the two closed the doors and windows, locked themselves in the bedroom, and shared the same bed, staring at the ceiling numbly, in a daze.

After a long, long time.

Mariko fell asleep.

The squad leader also closed his tired eyes.

……

Yuanzi had a nightmare in a daze.

In a nightmare, she dreamed that she was standing by the sea and saw a monster with the head of an octopus hidden in the mist of the sea.

The monster waved its huge tentacles by the sea and made strange noises. She seemed to hear a strange pronunciation:

"k?'θu:lu0:!"

This is a sound that is difficult for the human throat to produce.

Even Mariko didn't know how to describe this sound. It should be a sound made by an organ with a completely different structure from the human vocal organs.

Hearing this voice, Yuanzi's fear of the unknown rose in his heart, goosebumps arose all over his body, trembling, and his body involuntarily lost self-control.

Mariko's body stepped towards the ocean step by step, letting the sea water soak her feet.

Yuanzi was extremely panicked, and she subconsciously called out the system.

As a result, the system really came out, which made Yuanzi pick up the hope of life.

The system is not the kind of intelligent system with one question and one answer, Yuanzi exerted all his attention, and immediately turned on the system's replacement function, allowing the system to take over the body.

No matter what decision the system makes, as long as it can break this dilemma.

It is also the moment when the system's proxy typing function is enabled.

Mariko's consciousness woke up in the dream, and realized that she was having a nightmare in a dream game.
