As soon as they said run, they ran, and the few people immediately ran wildly, much faster than when they just jumped off the tree.
After a few fights and running away, the gradually getting-togethered people have already vaguely determined each other's positioning. Luo Qi consciously runs at the head, moving forward at a fast speed, and the rest of them follow closely behind.
"Why... let's run now?" After running for a while, Yuan Kejie finally came to her senses and asked out of breath as she ran, "I think... let's see what they will look like later... It's better , Know thyself, ever-victorious!"
7 turned to look at the giant tree behind, and explained in a calm tone: "Over there, the first skeleton has already jumped off the tree."
In fact, those guys with blood and flesh can no longer be called "skeletons", but they haven't thought of a better term to refer to these guys.
Yuan Kejie was so shocked that she couldn't breathe when she spoke: "Jump off the tree? What operation?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Chu followed Qi's gaze and glanced back, then frowned and said, "They jumped in our direction."
Everyone looked back after hearing the words.
The bright moon in the sky became brighter and brighter, the outline of the giant tree that was only vaguely visible in the night gradually became clearer, the branches and leaves on the top of the giant tree began to fall off, and the weird-looking skeletons lying on the trunk were no longer covered by the leaves. It was completely exposed to the moonlight. The skeletons lying on the top are already covered with flesh and smooth skin, and the skeletons below have also begun to change.
The texture and context of the red flesh gradually covering the white bones can be clearly seen if you get close.
There are more and more white bones covered with flesh and blood on the skeleton. After the whole body is covered with honey-colored skin, the skeletons climbing on the top start to jump down from the highest point one after another. The appearance of the body wrapped in flesh is even more strange. Under the moonlight, those guys' skins seemed to glow white.
And the direction they jumped down from the tree was towards Lu Chu and his party.
"Cut," Luo Qi ran unsteadily, and cast a squint at Song Gui behind him, and said contemptuously, "Can your luck be any worse?!"
Song Gui laughed, with an extremely humble attitude: "Maybe, do you want me to try again?"
Luo Qi rolled her eyes at him.
"You...you still have the energy to talk and laugh," Yuan Kejie wailed, "We can't just run... all night, right? Then we must... we must die of exhaustion!"
When Lu Chu heard the words, his tone was firm and convincing: "Go ahead first, there will always be a way."
I don't know how fast those guys are, and I don't know if they ran directly towards them after jumping off the tree in their direction. What Lu Chu and the others can do is to stay as far away from the giant tree as possible . Fortunately, they had already ran a certain distance before, and they were within a safe distance for the time being, so they didn't have to worry about being caught up immediately, but they had to find a place to hide quickly, otherwise, not to mention anything else, their physical strength would be overwhelming.
7 glanced at Lu Chu, and when Lu Chu looked back, he cast affirmative eyes with a little smile.
They must have a time to rest and adjust. If they can't find this time, then they will create it by themselves.
Because he will lead Lu Chu to live to the end.
Not the end of this "game", but the end of the "rules".
———
On the other side, the first guy with bloody flesh and jumping off the giant tree, suspected of being a centipede, jumped down in the direction where Lu Chu and the others escaped, but did not catch up with them immediately, but paused and lingered under the giant tree, as if waiting wearing something.
One, two, three... As time progressed, those skeletons that climbed to the top of the giant tree grew blood and flesh one after another, and jumped down the tree. After such a wave, the skeletons under the tree became like In the beginning, it was densely packed and flooded the brown ground, but at that time it was a white ocean, but now it has turned into the color of flesh. The change of color made these guys more visually impactful than diminished. The irregularly growing arms on the human body waved in all directions in the crowded gap, which was so weird that it was disgusting.
And the centipede-shaped skeleton that was the first to grow blood and flesh stood in the middle of Wang Yang, facing the direction where Lu Chu and the others fled, as if looking out.
Lu Chu and the others ran for a long time, and after confirming that nothing could catch up for the time being, they finally let go of their strength and knelt down on the ground.
This violent running took too much energy from everyone, for a while, everyone could only lie there gasping for breath, and only 7 was still breathing smoothly among them.
After Yuan Kejie's breathing calmed down, she didn't forget to praise: "Qi Li, which way are you on, absolutely."
Luo Qi glanced at 7, and cupped her fists to express her resignation.
Seven said lightly: "Practice makes perfect."
Lu Chu looked at him when he heard the words, and he couldn't imagine what 7 had experienced before. Behind the plain sentence "I have completed all the single-player tasks", how many times have my lives hung by a thread, how many times have I hovered between death and life, so that practice makes perfect and I have acquired so many skills to survive.
Seeing Lu Chu looking at him, 7 raised the corners of his lips and nodded at him.
Lu Chu was slightly embarrassed, and then smiled: "I'll rest here for a while, let's eat something to replenish my strength."
Everyone took out all the food from the backpacks they were carrying, and after Lu Chu distributed it, he put some of them back into the bags, and the rest was their dinner.
Several people lit the fire again. They sat in a circle and ate food. At the same time, they did not lose their vigilance, paying attention to the surrounding situation at all times, and always carried the backpack containing supplies on their backs.
Yuan Kejie stroked her hair with her hands: "To be honest, I always felt like we were acting in a movie."
It's just that the scenes, props, enemies, and even life and death in this movie are all so real.
Others silently agree.
"Speaking of movies," Song Gui thought of something, suddenly looked at the crowd, and asked, "Do you know what is the scariest thing about horror movies?"
Lu Chu glanced at 7, and then looked at the other people. He poked a branch into the bottom of the fire and tilted it upwards, making the fire more intense. The red and dancing flames reflected on the side of his cheek. His cheeks became softer due to the tracing of the firelight.
He smiled and said, "I've heard of this, it's the phrase 'adapted from real events' at the end of the movie."
Song Gui nodded: "Aren't we in the most terrifying state now?"
