crunch...
The air in the sewer is quite turbid, especially the feeling of stepping in the mud, which brings great torment... A smell mixed with rot and stench constantly jumps up from below, and every time you step on it, My feet felt like they were about to sink.
In the process of advancing, Ling Mo constantly looked around, but the more he observed, the more he felt his scalp tingling. Not only the ground, but the cement walls on both sides also have many strange marks. At first glance, they look like mildew or moss, but after a long look, you will find that most of those marks are made of blood and mucus... Even the walls That's all, not to mention the composition of these silts...
But disgusting is disgusting. After choosing this path, they did not encounter those centipede people again. Not only that, the sewer is almost silent, and it is completely two worlds compared to the outside. It didn't take long for Ling Mo to have a very long feeling. The unchanging environment and the oppressive atmosphere fully demonstrate that this place is really not a place suitable for human existence.
Especially after thinking of what Shana said, Ling Mo felt more and more that this place was like another space. A place hidden under the city, extremely dangerous and full of fear.
"Zombies are no longer the only monsters..." Ling Mo repeated silently in his heart, thinking back to Shana's expression when he said this... He rarely sees such an expression on Shana's face... It's a complicated The expression that mixes the emotions of zombies and humans at the same time seems to be a little relieved, and it seems to be a little joy...
"Like having a new kind? No... more of a feeling of not being alone anymore..."
Perhaps for Shana, the meaning represented by such subterranean creatures is the same as the feeling that humans were constantly pursuing alien creatures. Not just aliens. And those anthropomorphic protagonists...the reason why they appear so frequently in human fantasy and expectation. Maybe it's also because of the loneliness of the human group...
If in this world. There are still high-level beings like himself, what kind of situation would it be... In retrospect, Ling Mo suddenly realized that he had actually thought about it like this.
Only the appearance of zombies completely shattered this fantasy. The emergence of new species, in exchange for the status quo of human beings on the verge of extinction...
"There may not be many human beings who will think of this topic at this time..." Ling Mo couldn't help but think with a little sigh.
In today's environment, I don't know how many people are praying for the disappearance of zombies... what new species. This is a disaster at all... To put it directly, this is a battle for resources between two species, but if you say a little more deeply, this is a collision between two civilizations... Human beings have been crushed, but they still exist. Zombies are all over the world, but the ones that have really evolved to the advanced stage are very limited...
"But why don't zombies think so? This centipede man's attitude towards zombies is also very clear... Food, and it is also captive food. If the whole underground is full of them, then sooner or later they will also develop to the ground. Right..." Ling Mo thought with a bit of a headache.
Humans, zombies, underground creatures. Mutant beast... This is all he knows so far. But who knows what new monsters are being born somewhere else
Not just humans. Survival of other species is also difficult. This is a real "Don't Compete or Die" era...
"Ling Mo, look."
Li Yalin suddenly stopped, raised her hand to a corner not far away, and said softly.
Looking in the direction of her finger, Ling Mo immediately saw a cement hole.
"It leads to another building..." Ling Mo guessed.
The one they passed through before should be the drainage pipe of the Rosen Company...
But after taking a few more glances, Ling Mo found something wrong, and this was probably the real reason why it caught Li Yalin's attention...
At the edge of the cement hole, a hand seems to stick out...
"I'll go take a look."
Ling Mo increased his speed and walked over on the mud.
Seeing him move fast, Li Yalin and Shana also came over curiously.
The three of them all seemed to be looking forward to it, but they were not nervous... Obviously, this could not be a living creature. It doesn't look like a centipede, and if it's a zombie, it can't lie there honestly.
"It's a corpse." Ling Mo said as soon as he walked to the cement hole and glanced at it.
The corpse looked like it had been around for a long time, its head twisted weirdly, and a pair of empty eyes stared at Ling Mo. Although his face has been mutilated, it can still be seen from his teeth that he was a human before his death...
"It's not over yet..." Ling Mo stared at his shriveled hand and said.
"Because the blood has been sucked clean, and the temperature here is very low..." Shana analyzed.
"But since there are corpses here, it means that there must be some kind of monster moving around here..." Ling Mo said while looking around.
Shana also turned her head and glanced at it, but finally turned her eyes back to the corpse.
"If you normally drag a corpse, how would you drag it?" Shana murmured suddenly.
"Drag by hand!" Li Yalin replied quickly.
And Ling Mo looked at the corpse and thought for a while, then replied: "From the point of view of facilitating his own actions, it should be dragging his feet... Hey!" Ling Mo said here, suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, "Could it be... "
"That's right!" Shana snapped her fingers gently and said, "The corpse must have been dragged in here, so the palm of the hand was stuck at the edge. And recall, the group of monsters that I encountered before is not also Living underground in the Rosen Company? In other words, this group of monsters will probably not stay in this kind of passage, but will stay in a more closed place... "
With that said, Shana looked into the cement hole with anticipation: "That is to say, there are also a group of... Brother Ling," she looked up at Ling Mo and said, "Want to enter?"
Of course he doesn't want to go in... but it feels a little uncomfortable to just leave...
"Brother Ling, I want to check more." Shana said coquettishly, "Okay?"
"Confirm what?"
"Is the humanoid a single species?" Shana tilted her head.
"Single... Yes!"
Humans already have abilities, and there are high-level and low-level zombies, as well as the difference between ordinary zombies and mutant zombies, so what about underground creatures
The sooner you can learn more about them, the sooner you can find out how to prevent them... At least before they climb out of the ground, you must master the means to deal with them on the ground!
"I come."
Ling Mo turned his face away and walked up, grabbing the corpse's clothes.
"I'm guilty..."
After meditating for a while, he yanked the corpse down.
Most of the corpse's body was long gone, so it didn't fall into the mud after coming out of the cement hole, but was reluctantly lifted by Ling Mo's hand. He found a fairly flat place to put it down, and then took out the broken bones scattered in the hole and put them next to the corpse.
Shana's two daughters watched this scene silently, until Ling Mo was completely busy, and then looked into the cave.
"Can you smell anything?" Ling Mo asked.
Li Yalin shook her head: "I feel like there is nothing there."
"That's right, it means that it's full of mucus." Ling Mo glanced at the depths warily, but he couldn't see anything except the gray one.
"I'll go first."
He moved his body a bit, and then climbed in first.
But just after he entered the cement hole, he suddenly heard Shana ask, "Brother Ling, what were you thinking?"
"Ah?" Ling Mo squatted in the hole and turned his head with some difficulty.
"I feel like you have something on your mind," Shana said.
She also climbed into the hole. At this moment, the red glasses were flickering with dim light, staring deeply at Ling Mo.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ling Mo suddenly found that her black eye had also turned into a deep gem, which seemed to reflect light constantly, and it was a dazzling feeling at first glance.
Although this feeling was only fleeting, it made Ling Mo stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Ling Mo didn't answer, Shana raised her mouth and smiled and said, "Actually, I feel it even if you don't say anything. Are you worried? About these humanoids? But yes, Brother Ling, you have always been worried about us. It's the same even this time. It's obviously a matter of fighting against zombies, but it doesn't let us directly participate... "
"Right, I haven't figured it out yet..."
"Are we weak?" Shana asked suddenly.
Ling Mo froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Of course not... Ye Lian killed the mother zombie, and the other two high-level zombies were also handled by Senior Sister and I, and you, Shana, didn't make a sound. Found it here…”
"Cough cough... I won't be happy if you praise me like this..." Shana rolled her eyes, then touched her hair awkwardly, "Actually, that's not what I meant... How do I say..." She bit her lip and thought After thinking about it, he said, "Anyway, we are different from other zombies! We have a human being to protect us! If you put it another way, Brother Ling is also different from other people, because you have... Ah, senpai... what... so there is no need to worry so much, just live together... new species are not necessarily a bad thing... "
The more she spoke, the quieter she became. Finally, she suddenly grabbed the scythe and sent it forward while Ling Mo watched: "I hate it to death, hurry up and get out! It's a very heavy corpse stench!"
"Fuck... who insists on talking here! It's unreasonable..."
"Stupid human... Have you ever seen a reasonable zombie?"
"What are you doing, I want to go in too..." Li Yalin's voice came weakly from behind...
