The faint green moonlight shone on his body, and Chi Nan unconsciously stopped and looked up.
You Yu was standing half a step away from him. He looked at Chi Nan, and his heart was suddenly blocked by an inexplicable unease.
At this moment, he had the illusion that Chi Nan was standing very far away from him, quiet and illusory, even a bit divine.
out of reach.
But Chi Nan just stood silently as usual, his green eyes facing the full moon of the same color, as calm as the moonlight sinking into the bottom of the lake.
He blinked, and there were some small emotions in his eyes, so small that even Chi Nan didn't notice it.
Hei Cha also noticed Chi Nan's strangeness and turned his head: "What's wrong?"
"Before... did the moon also turn green?" Chi Nan suddenly came back to his senses.
The black tea, who was starving and dazed, became sluggish, and then he looked up at the air vent after realizing it. He was stunned for a moment, and shook his head: "No, I have never encountered such a situation before."
After a pause, he added: "It may also be that I didn't pay attention to the changes in the sky before."
Chi Nan didn't speak, and You Yu walked over and said lightly, "It's just the color pollution caused by bugs, don't worry about it, let's go."
Chi Nan was a little concerned, but nodded in the end, and after stepping out, he subconsciously looked back at the green moon.
"By the way, why did you happen to be waiting at the station?" You Yu rarely took the initiative to ask the dark tea.
Hei Cha: "After my memory came back, I remembered that when Chi Nan finished the dungeon, he would go back to Zicheng, but now Zicheng is like this. If Chi Nan comes back alone, he will definitely not be able to handle it, so he thinks about going to the station every day. Squat for a while, anyway, I have no clue now, there is nothing else to do except make some self-defense props."
Chi Nan looked at the black tea and said sincerely, "Thank you."
On the contrary, the black tea scratched his neck embarrassedly: "Hey, I was also thinking that in case the train dining car that brought you back has food... But I'm still empty-handed..."
Hei Cha sighed: "I didn't expect you to come here in the end, in fact, I really hope you don't go back to this ghost place..."
Chi Nan: "So, except for the hunters who are trapped in Zicheng, they are all sleepwalkers who have fulfilled their wishes and returned to reality. This is the first time that exceptions like me and 229 appear?"
Black Tea nodded: "Apart from the two of you, no one has come in during this time."
But it's not surprising that Black Tea saw Chi Nan. After all, this young master can always break the inherent rules, and even change from being dominated to someone who controls the rules in turn.
Miracles can always happen to Chi Nan.
The group continued to walk deep into the tunnel, but after less than five minutes, the walls of the tunnel suddenly cracked with countless fine lines like smashed ice. As the cracks continued to expand and spread, gravel and gravel fell down , Chi Nan was covered in ashes.
Hei Cha's face changed suddenly, and he immediately stopped and his voice trembled: "Let's go back quickly! A monster has entered the safe passage from the vent!"
Although the rescue team has arranged a series of defense mechanisms outside the safe passage, it is inevitable that there will be an accident, when it is broken by monsters or hunters, five sleepwalkers have already died in the sudden attack of the dungeon monster.
At the same time, a strange sound of 'zizizi' sounded from the depths of the tunnel. This kind of sound does not exist in nature. It was like the sound of scratching the blackboard with fingernails and the sound of steam expanding when steaming the steamed buns. Strange sound of sour teeth.
In the countless fine lines cracked on the wall, a sticky substance similar to red blood overflowed wildly, and the sticky scarlet substance spread over the entire wall of the tunnel in an instant.
It was as if the red algae had filled the tunnel with destructive force, and the three of them were polluted with sticky scarlet, which quickly cut off their escape route.
"Two sleepwalkers have encountered this monster before... It is said that it can digest humans like a piranha... But it grows and reproduces much faster than a piranha... One of the two had a limb cut off... The other had a whole People were pulled into the sticky scarlet object... After half a minute, they turned into bones and spit out..."
Hei Cha stared at the wildly spreading red monster, standing helplessly in the middle of the tunnel, unable to advance or retreat.
Surrounded by a fast-growing and pervasive red goo that digests human muscle tissue, dark tea has the illusion of being in the stomach of a man-eating monster.
The viscous, disgusting fluids were trying to reach them with tentacles, as if monster stomachs could corrode human gastric juices.
Hei Cha's heart was beating wildly in the cavity, but he was quieter and even more awake than ever before.
He knew very well that death would soon come and take him out of this scarlet hell.
All the long nights of starvation, cold, helplessness, broken will by fear will disappear in the moment of death.
Maybe a relief...
No one respects life more than him, but long torture can easily destroy human's desire for survival.
They have no escape...
"Chi Nan, you two hide behind me later, it's better if you can live a little longer, I've already..."
Although in the end, he subconsciously protected his most important friend.
Chi Nan's face was still calm: "Do tears work against this kind of thing?"
"Try it and you'll know," You Yu, who was also calm, pressed his lips to Chi Nan's ear, "Is that okay?"
He promised that any touch in the future would seek Chi Nan's consent.
The moment Chi Nan nodded, You Yu's lips gently pressed against the edge of his auricle.
It was an ambiguous and dangerous kiss.
You Yu could clearly feel Chi Nan's body tense up, his ears became soft and red because of his touch, and the thin fluff on the auricles stood up cutely.
The person he loves is living in his body, and his skin is red and even hot because of his actions... You Yu smiled silently, and at the same time quickly put the knife under Chi Nan's eyes, and caught the tears dripping from his eyes with the blade .
The knife smeared with Chi Nan's tears glowed with a wet light. You Yu raised the knife and slashed towards the wall contaminated with 'red algae' with the look of a chef looking at high-end ingredients.
The methodical posture is like cutting a piece of high-grade wagyu.
"...?" The dark tea, who was ready to die, was stunned, what was this going to do
But a miracle happened, and no one was surprised except for black tea.
At the moment when the knife penetrated deeply into the wall, the sound of 'zizizi' resembling frying steak sounded from the inside of the wall, because the tunnel is a ring-shaped closed environment, making it sound like a 360-degree surround sound speaker . . . although no one plays the sound of frying steak on a speaker.
The red viscous substance that had spread like crazy also quickly retracted the tentacles along the cracks of the wall like the tentacles of the scalded octopus. Pushing up, he quickly and fiercely cut and peeled off a large piece of red wall covering and threw it on the ground.
The wall wrapped in scarlet slime struggled for a while, then gradually returned to silence, peeling off the brick and shrinking into a large mushroom with a diameter of half a meter.
Black Tea was stunned: "What is this?"
You Yu wiped his knife with a handkerchief, picked up the big mushroom and held it in his hand, saying, "Can you use it as a big red mushroom for today's dinner ingredients at the rescue base?"
The black tea recovered from the shock, but was still skeptical about the ingredients in You Yu's mouth: "... Is this, this thing really edible?"
You Yu nodded firmly: "The monster you saw just now is named Scarlet Wallflower, and I happen to be its designer."
Black tea: "… "
Chi Nan: "This wallflower is really unlucky."
You Yu shrugged: "Although it has a name that sounds a bit middle-of-the-road, it is essentially a mycelium-like existence that quickly grows, ferments, attacks and devours humans. I'm pretty sure it's edible."
The corners of the black tea lips twitched.
You Yu picked up the 'Scarlet Wallflower' and looked at it for a moment, then said, "As for the taste, I'm not sure, you have to try it to find out."
Black tea: "Is it really not poisonous?"
You Yu shook his head: "No, maybe the nutritional value is quite high, after all, it is rich in protein."
Chi Nan took the scarlet wallflower from You Yu's hand, looked at it for a moment, and commented: "Although the name is not good, it looks good."
You Yu curled the corners of his lips: "I hope so."
Black tea: "… "
Chi Nan turned to him: "Can mushrooms be roasted?"
He remembered that the barbecue skills of black tea were top-notch. The last time he ate on the rooftop of the North District, three people could not walk, and the memory was very greedy.
Black tea: "I can try..."
So they carried the big bloody mushrooms back to the rescue base in the mouth of the black tea.
The so-called base is a basement-like existence, with a space of less than 100 square meters. A bonfire rises in the center of the narrow space, and the surviving sleepwalkers sit around the bonfire to keep warm.
Chi Nan counted, including black tea, there are only eleven sleepwalkers left in the rescue base.
The fate of the other ten people is self-evident, either by suicide because they could not bear the extreme cruelty of the environment, or at the hands of predators and monsters.
"Brother! Why are you here!"
The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw Chi Nan. She was so hungry that she could barely stand up and waved her hand vigorously at Chi Nan.
But when the little girl saw that there were two 'Chi Nan', she was stunned just like the reaction of Black Tea at that time.
Chi Nan recognized the little girl as Ruirui, and calmly introduced You Yu to her: "My twin brother."
For the current situation of the two, twins are the most convenient explanation.
Ruirui's eyes wandered for a moment on the faces of Chi Nan and You Yu, and she said sincerely, "I'm so envious."
The mother sitting next to Ruirui took her daughter into her arms, and after greeting, she sighed with mixed feelings to Chi Nan and the others: "I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate to see an old acquaintance here."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Black Tea: "Hey, do you know each other?"
Chi Nan nodded: "At the time of the Candleman Festival copy."
The mother and daughter were pulled into the nightmare world again, indicating that they had previously fulfilled their wish to resurrect their father, Chi Nan thought.
At this moment, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at the 'scarlet wallflower' in Chi Nan's hands, Chi Nan shook the wallflower: "Tonight's ingredients."
Crowd:
Why does this ingredient look familiar? Are you sure it's not the red slime monster that killed two teammates
Ruirui pointed to the poor 'scarlet wall flower': "Brother, is this a big mushroom?"
You Yu nodded: "Very versatile ingredients, whether it's barbecue or stew, it can be delicious."
Black Tea, who almost turned from a ghost anchor to a food area, raised his hand silently: "I can take charge of making it delicious..."
He met everyone's suspicious gaze, and added in a low voice, "...If you dare to eat it."
