A group of antelopes drinking water by the pool were disturbed by the bumping sound of tires. They turned around with wide round eyes and saw a black steel beast driving to the edge of the cliff, then turning around and driving down.
Wu Zen was the only one in the cab. An hour ago, he gave up letting the ghost slayer get on the bus.
When it comes to speaking, you have to pay special attention to the occasion.
In the bedroom.
The man said, "I'm going to kill you."
The woman smiled shyly: "Please do it."
This is flirting.
In the old city.
One person stared wide-eyed and said, "I'm going to kill you."
The other person's eyes widened even more, and he even straightened his neck and leaned forward with a look of dissatisfaction: "You do it! You do it!"
This is a challenge.
As for the ghost slayer, when he looked at Wu Zen, who didn't even know whether the vampire was a boy or a girl, his eyes looked like he was looking at a piece of contaminated garbage, and his whole body exuded a sense of cleanliness that everyone was dirty.
This is a brain bug that needs to be cured.
Wu Chan left a message that you ghost-slayers are not welcome, and it was all your own fault. Then he raised the window, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
Wu Chan followed the wheel tracks at the entrance and entered the current area. There was a feeling of isolation upon entering, and Su Xiaoyou's new song on the radio was replaced by harsh electric noise. The condition of the road surface suddenly worsened, as if it had been hit by a meteorite rain. The road was broken in many places, slumped and upturned, and small cliffs were raised one after another. Both sides of the road have turned into forests. Thick tall trees with several people hugging them tightly block the sun with their broad and dense branches and leaves. Sporadic and disharmonious cement colors are revealed between the dense gaps of the vines. The once high-rise buildings are now ruins, like a cemetery of stone giants drained of life by green parasites.
He had been driving in this area for an hour, relying on ruts to find his way. If you want to explore treasures in the old city, learning to identify wheel ruts is a must. Rurut, who meets by chance, is the most helpful pathfinder. But as the road conditions got worse and worse, the ruts became increasingly difficult to identify, and it was so messy that it looked like there were several teams going around in circles.
Wu Chan drove forward along the clearest track, and the clarity showed that this team would not be ahead of Wu Chan by more than two hours. The armored truck carefully went around the edge of a cliff. The road was getting narrower and narrower due to trees, making it more and more difficult for the vehicle to drive. Weeds half as tall as a man were crushed by the tires, indicating that no vehicle had been here before, but Wu Chan The intuition indicates that the team in front is taking this road. The branches of the trees were like whips whipping against the windshield. Before long, green leaves completely obscured Wu Chan's sight, and he stepped on the brakes.
Wu Chan's super power is that no one can defeat him in his BGM, but it doesn't mean that he can't die even if he suddenly falls into an invisible pit.
He got out of the car, unsheathed his knife, cut off the branches in front of the car, and swept the knife across the weeds, causing a green drizzle and the slightly sour smell of grass juice to fill the air. His footsteps disturbed something in the grass. A green shadow suddenly jumped towards Wu Chan's face, and he cut it in half with a swing of his hand. The green pus splashed two meters away, making the tips of the grass tremble.
It was actually a green locust the size of a hare, with chewing mouthparts and vicious barbs. Fried locusts taste like crunchy meat. As the saying goes, three locusts serve one dish, but this locust can eat three dishes on its own. A locust that can grow to this size probably does not feed on plants.
Wu Chan carefully observed the surrounding environment. There were layers of trees in front of him. It was difficult for an armored truck to pass through, and it was difficult for an ordinary pickup truck to pass through.
The convoy disappeared out of thin air...
Of course, there is another possibility that Wu Chan’s intuition is wrong.
Wu Chan backed up the car hard, and after his vision became clearer, he changed directions and continued driving.
Twenty minutes later, he drove deep into the forest again and continued to reverse and change direction. When he drove deep into the forest for the third time and tried to reverse, he had to accept the fact that the end of each fork in the road was blocked by a large forest, and he was lost.
Wu Chan stopped the car temporarily.
It's normal for the old city to be covered in forest.
What's not normal is why there are so many forests here.
This old city numbered X110305 was defined as a county-level city in the pre-disaster world, and its urban construction and scale were weaker than the D1103 old city to which it belonged. X110305 old city is surrounded by five E-class new cities and three new cities: D066, D067, and D068. You can walk there and back in one and a half days. The resources in the city have been almost recovered by the resource recovery team, so the significance of X110305 Old City is more that it is the only way to D1103 Old City.
Since it is a road, it means that it is used repeatedly by people. Forests can grow luxuriantly, but there is no reason why they should be allowed to grow so freely that they become obstructions to roads.
The ruts at the entrance to the area showed that at least seven or eight convoys drove in in one morning, but no cars drove out.
Wu Chan had tried every fork in the road. If other teams were trapped, they would have met long ago.
Unless there is an underground passage hidden here that Wu Chan has not yet discovered.
Or maybe they were killed.
Killing each other among the resource recovery teams is commonplace. The old city is a lawless place, and everything is done by force. The resource recovery teams in the same new city may still have some friendship with each other, but once they meet the resource recovery teams in other new cities, there is no need to show mercy.
However, who could kill so many convoys quietly, and how were the bodies and cars disposed of
The forest itself is the biggest suspect.
Thinking of the silence, Wu Chan suddenly realized that the forest was really eerily quiet. Except for the sound of the energy release engine, there was no other sound.
Wu Chan turned off the energy release engine, and the whole world became completely quiet, so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat.
"Stab-la-"
The car intercom suddenly made a sound.
Someone was scanning the frequency of Wu Chan's walkie-talkie.
"Stab-save-stab la la la-"
"Help-stab-la-"
Wu Chan picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Where are you?"
"Stab it—prick it—"
"Where are you?" Wu Chan repeated.
"The ground - stabbed -"
"Stab it—down—"
"You-prick-prick-prick-prick-under-"
Wu Chan's feet
Wu Chan took the ferocious leopard and poked it downwards with all his strength. The pole was halfway in, and he got a hard feedback that there was something under the soil.
Could it be...
Wu Chan carried the ferocious leopard around and poked it around, making a circle of nearly 200 meters, and suddenly stabbed a piece of grass to the end effortlessly. Wu Chan pushed aside the grass and found himself standing on the edge of a large pit. At the bottom of the pit was a slope with steps leading deep into the ground.
Wu Chan didn't expect that there was actually a subway station entrance here, and he was standing right above the stop sign.
For some unknown reason, the grass grows taller the deeper it goes, even over the stop signs, so from the outside the grass looks almost flat. Moreover, these weeds are very resilient. As soon as Wu Chan lets go of them, they will immediately bounce back to their original shape. This is why this piece of grass can not only cover the entrance of the subway station, but also remove traces of people passing through.
Wu Chan’s understanding of the subway came from his history class—the subway was a means of transportation invented by humans before the disaster that could move as fast as earthworms in the underground space. Currently, there are several shorter subway imitations in Class A new cities.
It turned out that those convoys did not disappear out of thin air, but actually drove into the underground space. It seems that this subway channel can lead directly to the D1103 Old City.
But what happened next
Who sent the distress signal
Wu Chan got on the car, broke through the waves of grass and sneaked into the subway station diagonally. The stairs did not cause any bumps in the armored truck. The underground space was pitch black, and the height was too low, making it extremely depressing. The roof of the car almost touched the ceiling. The ticket gate was long gone, and Wu Chan drove deeper. Originally, the stair passage could not accommodate the armored truck, but it was widened by other trucks in advance.
When the car reached the bottom floor, it was still dark, but Wu Chan felt suddenly enlightened. Because the underground space became higher, the depressing feeling on the roof of the car was eliminated. Wu Chan saw the actual subway track for the first time.
"Save-save-me-"
The sound from the walkie-talkie is much clearer than on the ground.
"Where are you?"
Wu Chan asked.
"please-"
Wu Chan lowered the window and slightly poked his head, hearing the voice of someone calling for help not far ahead.
Wu Chan drove forward slowly and saw a pickup truck parked in front of a black wall. A man stood outside the car and pulled the walkie-talkie out of the cab.
"help me."
The truck's light shone on his face, but he didn't react at all.
If he were a normal person, he would have rushed up excitedly when he saw Wu Chan's truck slowly approaching.
Is this a trap laid by the resource recovery team
wrong.
It's not that this man doesn't want to rush over, it's just that he can't do it.
A tube-like thorn extended from the black wall behind him, penetrated his Tianling Cap, and controlled his body!
He was in excruciating pain but could not show any expression.
"Please... kill me..."
The black wall suddenly squirmed and swallowed him up like clay. Two seconds later, his head was pushed against the wall. He was struggling to break away, and the outline of his face was clearly strangled, but the last layer of black membrane could not be broken.
Bang bang bang.
Seven or eight more heads protruded from the black wall and connected with this head, scrambling to break free from the wall.
That's not a black wall at all.
It's a giant poisonous insect with nine human heads forming a back!
A centipede-level demon.
The ghost centipede!
