Communicate the black fog.
When Tian Yang instinctively made this move, he suddenly discovered that his thoughts could actually be extended. However, he did not find the existence of black fog in the surrounding environment, so why could he still connect with the black fog
Although he was doubtful, Tianyang did not stop contacting the black fog. His thoughts flowed like water, flooding the streets and rushing towards the place where the sound came from.
In the model constructed by the black fog, the boy saw a woman rushing out from a narrow alley. The woman was holding a child of about four or five years old in her arms, looking back in panic from time to time.
Tianyang magnified the details, and the black fog model showed a young and beautiful face of a woman. Her neck was as slender as a swan, and there was a straight and almost perfect curve under the neckline.
As for the child, it seemed to be a boy, with a chubby little face that was extremely cute.
It was unknown whether they were mother and son or of some other relationship. They seemed to be running away from something. The woman looked back from time to time. This habitual action made her fail to notice a figure squatting behind a trash can at the entrance of the alley because she looked back.
When the woman turned around, the figure suddenly pounced out and knocked her down.
A rapid shouting sounded in the distance, and it seemed that the other party was using the language of the opposite world. Tianyang could identify it but could not read it, so he did not know what the other party was saying.
In the black fog model, the woman climbed up, took out a dagger, and slashed forward in panic, forcing away the man who knocked her down.
Tianyang magnified the details and found that the man had stiff hair on his face and arms and sharp nails, somewhat like the demonized patients nailed to the wall not far away.
Pushing the demonic man aside, the woman ran to the street and appeared in the sight of Tianyang and others. At this time, there was no need to use the black fog to observe, Tianyang could see clearly with his own eyes.
"Why is there someone here?" Pastor Chen exclaimed and couldn't help but step back.
Mu Qing said softly: "Calm down, no one can survive in the gap. These may just be the 'memories' of the town, recreated by some means."
After hearing her say this, Pastor Chen's expression finally eased a little.
Looking ahead, after the woman rushed out of the street, the originally dead town seemed to be lively all of a sudden. In the alley near Tianyang and the others, figures kept rushing out of the alley. Without exception, these people had the characteristics of demonic disease.
They either have stiff hairs, or scales, or ulcerated skin, or have sharp teeth or claws...
They were more like a mob, wielding sticks, iron pipes, and even guns. They were dressed in rags, with expressions of cruelty and excitement on their faces.
They were like a group of hunting beasts, and their target, naturally, was the woman and the child.
The beasts rushed onto the street and surrounded the two people. Strangely, these people ignored Tianyang and his companions. Although when they saw them, Tianyang and his companions instinctively avoided them.
But many people passed by them, but no one looked at them. It was really strange.
Tianyang tried to touch one of them and could clearly feel the coldness of the scales on the other's skin. It can be seen that these people, like the buildings in the town, are real entities rather than illusory images.
In the center of the street, a woman holding her child pointed a dagger at the beasts and shouted loudly.
But this not only failed to scare away the beast, on the contrary, it only made these people more excited.
Someone said something.
As soon as she finished speaking, a thin middle-aged man suddenly rushed up and actually bit the woman's knife-holding hand.
The woman screamed in pain, and the middle-aged man took the opportunity to knock her down. The woman fell to the ground and rolled to the side holding the boy.
More people rushed over, and the beasts seemed to have no interest in the child. They held down the woman. After a moment, the woman was lifted up high by them, her clothes torn and covered with small wounds.
These demonized patients, like wild beasts, carried the woman away, their faces full of excitement, as if they had obtained some valuable spoils. Finally, these people left the street and went into some alley, and the sound gradually faded away.
After the crowd left, Tianyang saw that the little boy had miraculously survived. He crawled to a corner and sat down, his eyes empty and out of focus, like a walking corpse.
Tianyang felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He walked across the street towards the little boy.
Mu Qing opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Tianyang squatted down beside the child, stretched out his hand, and gently touched his round little head: "Can you hear me?"
Although he felt the soft hair on his hand, Tian Yang was sure that he had touched the child. But the little boy seemed unaware, staring blankly at the ground at his feet, wondering what he was thinking.
Tianyang grabbed his small shoulders tightly and said, "I'm talking to you, kid, answer me!"
No matter what Tianyang did, he could not get any feedback from the little boy.
A hand fell on Tianyang's shoulder.
The boy turned around and it turned out to be Mu Qing.
The priestess shook her head. "That's enough, Lieutenant. We can't communicate with them. To them, we are just a breeze, a ray of light, a speck of dust. In their world, we don't exist."
Tianyang sighed, put down his hand and said, "Why is it like this? We can contact them, but they can't find us."
Mu Qing looked around and said, "Not all questions have answers, just as not all efforts will necessarily yield rewards. However, perhaps we should be thankful that they cannot discover us..."
"Now I roughly know which time period this town is in. If I'm not mistaken, the time in this town should be the stage where the reverse world is taking shape."
"There have been many reports that when the reverse world is taking shape, the plants, animals, and even humans in the world will begin to mutate. It's like being infected by a virus, and the scale of this infection is unprecedented. No one, no life can escape."
"The whole world is gradually sliding towards darkness. Order, reason, and civilization will all be gone. At this stage, those who have already changed are actually lucky. You will understand this by just looking at the woman just now..."
Suddenly, a warrior from the other side of the street called out, "Pastor Chen, what are you doing..."
The boy and the priestess turned around quickly and saw that Pastor Chen's body was shaking and his protective suit was gradually bulging. Even more strange was that inside the helmet, Pastor Chen's head was expanding like a balloon.
His originally thin face now looked like a fat man, with the fat on his cheeks almost squeezing onto the visor of his helmet, but Pastor Chen himself was completely unaware of this.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
The three religious warriors retreated from him and pointed their guns and swords at him. Even if he was slow to react, Pastor Chen knew that something was wrong with him.
he
He quickly raised his hands, but he didn't seem to notice anything unusual. Pastor Chen raised his head and said, "I'm fine. Why are you like this?"
The man who just said he was fine suddenly had a crack on his helmet visor. Then the protective leg on his right leg cracked open with a "sizzle" sound, and a ball of white flesh squeezed out from inside.
"Monster! Pastor Chen has turned into a monster!" a religious warrior shouted.
"What monster?"
Pastor Chen looked at him in panic: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm normal!"
Click, click.
There were more cracks on the helmet, and from the helmet, fat, white, octopus-like tentacles emerged one after another. On the surface of the things that were still secreting transparent mucus, baby-like mouths grew out, and they said in unison: "Don't look at me like that, I'm normal, I'm fine!"
"Priest...Priest."
The warrior who protects the religion asks Mu Qing for help: "Is Pastor Chen possessed?"
Possessed
Could it be that he was chosen as the 'Skin'
"No!"
Pastor Chen yelled, "Look at me, I don't look like I'm possessed. I'm normal, okay? It's you who are abnormal! What's wrong with you?"
A warrior who defended the religion said in a deep voice: "Priest Mu Qing, give the order quickly. At this point, the only thing we can do is to destroy the 'skin'. By the time Priest Chen is completely controlled, it will be too late."
"Eliminate what? The skin? Me?"
Pastor Chen pointed at himself with his bloated hands: "Are you kidding me? I'm not a bag of skin!"
As he finished speaking, the protective suit on that arm was torn apart, and a mass of white flesh poured out from the crack. On it grew a number of indescribable eyeballs, looking in all directions.
Mu Qing said in a deep voice: "Pastor Chen, calm down, I need your cooperation."
"No!"
Pastor Chen took two steps back and pointed at the crowd, saying, "Don't come over here. I suspect you are the ones who are possessed. I am fine. Why are you accusing me?"
Suddenly, a black shadow flew out from the flesh of Pastor Chen.
"Grenade! Evade!"
Tianyang quickly picked up Mu Qing by the waist, and in a flash, rushed out a hundred meters.
boom!
A fireball exploded on the street, and the violent explosion blew away the three religious warriors.
Tianyang looked back again, his sight penetrating the flames, and saw Pastor Chen turn around and rush into an alley.
The young man communicated with the black fog, extended his thoughts, locked onto Pastor Chen and was about to chase him. But when the black fog formed the figure of Pastor Chen, Tianyang said "huh" in his heart, and after a slight hesitation, Pastor Chen had already left his perception range and disappeared in a corner of the town.
"Is everyone okay?"
After Mu Qing let the boy down, she hurriedly asked about it. The three warriors who protected the religion finally reacted in time and were not affected by the explosion, but they were dizzy and dazed.
After a short rest, he recovered.
Mu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that Pastor Chen had a hand grenade hidden on him. I was careless."
A warrior who defended the religion suggested: "Priest, let's give chase quickly. Priest Chen should not have gotten far."
"No, now we have to find a way out of here."
Tianyang stood up to express his opposition.
