Wu Qi's pupils suddenly shrank and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. His whole body's movement ability fell into the abyss in an instant, his limbs spasmed, and his knees fell forward. The moment his knee joints touched the ground, he was unable to exert force, and his body fell directly to the ground.
This is a broken spine.
Ah ah ah ah ah! —
Wu Qi's five fingers of both hands dug into the dry and hard soil, and he dug hard, digging out ten traces of soil. With such a serious injury, a normal person would have wailed hysterically, but Wu Qi closed his pale lips tightly and swallowed all the wailing sounds back into his throat.
His eyes looked directly at the invisible Chang'an District, where Guo Baibo, Gao Yuan, Gu Changzai, Wang Yan, and Qiyue were all there. All of them were sure that they would be able to see themselves when they woke up tomorrow morning.
But can he still go back
The seed of despair grew rapidly after growing, and the tip of the bud broke out of the shell. When it was about to bloom, Wu Qi heard the heavy footsteps of the giant beast moving away from him. He heard very clearly that the thunderous footsteps of the giant beast were getting farther and farther away.
In the dark, Wu Qi crushed the seeds of despair hard, and he gritted his teeth, blood overflowing from the gaps between his teeth.
He is not desperate yet!
Wu Qi used his remaining strength to turn his head and look behind him. The figure of the mysterious behemoth had turned back, and most of its 60-meter-tall body was hidden in the shadow of the backlight. Wu Qi could only see the broad back of the mysterious behemoth and its slender tail dragging on the ground, four of them. The dark red pyramids growing on the giant wings are like a sea of blood crystals. They slowly rhythm with the movement of the giant beast's body, reflecting a strange and terrifying light.
Wu Qi's red lips were tightly pressed together, and he looked at the mysterious beast's traveling body with hatred. There is no doubt that it cannot be a second-level mutated creature or plague species, at least a third-level one!
Ruorong told him that if he encounters a third-level mutated creature in the wilderness, don't think about anything and must run away. But he tried his best to escape, but was still hit by the opponent's attack, and fell here with a broken spine.
This is the power of third-level life, insurmountable power! Wu Qi couldn't imagine that if he didn't come to explore the border tonight, if he randomly chose an escape route when being chased and happened to go deep into the wilderness where this mysterious beast was entrenched, then all the members of the Black Cavalry, including himself, would They will all be destroyed without any chance of survival.
He must bring back this information that may save all his companions.
Wu Qi's spine had been broken. The monster seemed to have driven something into his body. He clearly felt that there was some kind of sharp prism-shaped object inserted into his spine, which was zero distance away from his broken muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. Contact, and secrete a certain fluid, invade his body, and merge with the blood circulating throughout the body. Moreover, the electric feeling that indicates the danger of death is now concentrated in the spine.
Wu Qi couldn't see what was stuck in his back, and he had a bad premonition, a very bad premonition. After the mysterious beast caught up with him, it only attacked once and then turned away. Why would it leave unless it had achieved its goal.
The purpose is to embed this thing into his body!
But Wu Qi couldn't pull this thing out now. The insertion position of this thing was too terrible, and its size was too large. The overall girth at the middle end was larger than the tip, sealing the cracked hole in the back. Once it is pulled out, he will definitely lose a lot of blood and lose the strength to return to Chang'an District.
Wu Qi endured the tremors and fear of the unknown that spread all over his body, and sealed the pain nerves in his back. He used his arms and hands that could still move to dig into the earth with his five fingers, and used force to drag his whole body forward.
Even if he crawls, he still has to crawl back!
This climb lasted a whole night.
... ...
In the early morning, the bright sun appeared in the sky again, with a few thin clouds floating under the blue sky as a foil. It is almost winter, and even in the morning, the skin exposed to the air does not feel the warmth of the sun at all. Instead, it is blown by the cold northeast wind and wants to shrink back into warm clothes.
Two doormen from Chang'an District, wearing thick down jackets and gloves, opened the iron gate on time and stood guard outside. A guard casually glanced at the sunlit wilderness, then widened his eyes and shouted loudly.
"Hey, come and look, someone is lying there!"
The two guards ran over quickly and saw a young man wearing a dark gray combat uniform lying on the ground with his face facing up, his eyes closed, his legs placed straight on the ground, and his arms stretched forward just before he stopped moving. . His body was covered with yellow dust, and a dirt track as wide as a person was dragged behind him, which led to the end of the wilderness. The young man's slender fingers dug into the dry hard soil, digging out pits one after another. The tips of his fingers were scratched, and there were faint traces of dried blood in the surrounding pits and the pits left behind him.
The two guards looked down at the young man's body, and their scalps suddenly became numb with fear, and their palms were crawling like ants. There was a blood hole 15 centimeters in diameter on the boy's back, and a dark red pyramid was inserted deeply into it. The inserted part of the blood-colored pyramid just cut off the vertebrae. Its skin is transparent, and the dark red part inside looks like fibrous tissue when viewed up close. There are also bright red fine blood vessel patterns all over it, like a certain part of a living creature.
The most terrifying thing is that around the bloody pyramid, the boy's back muscles have completely mutated, and countless muscle fibers have mutated into nests of squirming flesh worms. It was so disgusting that the two grown men wanted to vomit. The parts that mutated into flesh worms are still spreading around, and the rate of assimilation is not fast. However, due to this mutated part, it was difficult to tell whether the fleshworm had invaded the boy's heart and lungs.
This young man is Wu Qi. He crawled alive all night, using his hands to crawl across hundreds of kilometers, carrying a heavy long knife on his back, to get here. It was already dawn when he saw the gate of Chang'an District close at hand.
At that time, he lost all strength and closed his eyes.
The two doormen observed the scene where Wu Qi was unconscious and seemed to imagine how he climbed here. Wu Qi's perseverance and perseverance shocked their hearts. However, Wu Qi was infected by fleshworms. With such a large infected area, there was definitely no way to save him.
"What should I do? He is infected and will turn into a proliferating beast in a short time." A guard looked pale and asked his companions for their opinions uncertainly.
There is an unwritten rule in Chang'an District: once someone is infected by the blood of a multiplication beast and reaches the point where it cannot be cured, others have the right to end the life of the infected person. Because the infected person who cannot be cured can only turn into a new proliferating beast. Instead of enduring the despair of irreversibly mutating the whole body, the five senses are wrapped in the proliferating shell, sinking into a dark world, and suffering the pain of corroded skin and flesh every moment. Painful, turning into a fully multiplied beast and then being killed, it would be better to end it all in advance to save yourself more suffering.
