Nightmare Attack

Chapter 228 Familiarity
The "townspeople" in Blackstone Town had given up their disguise and began to massacre the survivors in the mission with the most ferocious attitude.

Fatty never thought he could run so fast.

Those stone statues all came to life!

And together with other "townspeople" who rushed over, they crouched and hung upside down on the top of the hall on the first floor of the building, waiting for the prey to approach step by step.

The effect of the building as a safe zone has faded, which is why the doctor insists on rushing out.

The sound of claws flapping, wings beating, and all kinds of sounds followed closely behind them. The fat man wanted to turn his head to take a look, but he didn't dare.

He was afraid that after seeing those ghost things clearly, he would lose his survival instinct.

Those ugly monsters were not as clumsy as they had seen at first, they were fast, biting behind the two of them like a pack of wolves.

It wasn't until we rushed into the forest and was covered by trees that the situation was slightly better.

"Doctor, the restrictions imposed on them by buildings are gone," said the fat man, his tongue was enlarged, and his face was as pale as if it had been painted with a layer of paint.

Jiang Cheng looked for the way ahead, and pushed aside the dense bushes. His face was strange, and his eyes were even more strange, as if he was struggling with something, which made the fat man feel very uneasy.

There were non-stop sounds of friction and branches breaking, and those strange things rushed into the forest with them.

"Doctor," the fat man walked quickly along the path opened by Jiangcheng. He paused, his slightly opened mouth froze again, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"Ask whatever you want," Jiang Cheng said without turning his head, "Maybe we won't have a chance if it's too late."

Hearing that the fat man stopped hesitating, he lowered his voice and said, "Doctor, I was wondering why they didn't do anything in the hall just now since the restrictive effect of the building on them disappeared?"

He swallowed, and the "rustling" sound in his ears forced him to speed up again, "If they did it at that time, I don't think we would have a chance to run into the forest at all."

The road Jiangcheng chose is very steep, which is good for concealment, and the body shape of those strange things does not seem to be good at climbing.

Compared with chasing on flat ground, their greater advantage should still be in the sea.

Jiang Cheng, who was walking ahead to explore the road carefully, stepped on a low-lying place to confirm that he could withstand his own strength, and then continued to walk up. "It's hunting," he said.

"Hunting?" The fat man stared blankly.

He is no stranger to this term. When he was very young, he was brought up by his grandparents in a small county town in the countryside. Every warm afternoon, his grandfather would lean on the broken rattan-leather rocking chair, squinting his eyes and listening to the radio. Storytelling in the book, while watching him play.

When I am excited, I will catch him and tell him some historical allusions that I think are very interesting, although he resists every time.

But after going back and forth, it really made him remember a lot of things.

Hunting is one of them.

When it comes to the large-scale activities that the ancient royal family participated in, the hunting rate is extremely high. Whether it is the Central Plains Dynasty or the northern nomads, they never get tired of it.

This is a multiplayer sport.

To be more specific, it is to drive the beasts within a certain area to one place by encircling them, and then shoot them concentratedly.

"They want to drive us near the stone plate?" The fat man asked in horror, it's not difficult to guess.

"Other than that, I can't think of any other reason," Jiang Cheng's several stab wounds severely limited his mobility, especially the dense bushes would scrape his wounds from time to time.

"Doctor, I think the hunting you mentioned is fine, but I always feel that they..." the fat man thought for a while and continued: "Their purpose is not as simple as killing us."

The fat man paused, then stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Cheng's arm, "Doctor," the fat man said suddenly, "Don't you think this scene is familiar?"

As soon as the movement of Jiang Cheng's feet stopped, he slowly lowered his body, using the boulder beside him to block the figure, then turned to look at the fat man, "Go on."

"Do you still remember the scene we saw near the stone plate?" Fatty didn't dare to delay, speaking very fast.

"You mean that the invaders suppressed the natives of Blackstone Town."

The fat man licked his lips, nodded to the doctor and said, "Yes, doctor, think about it, those invaders gathered the aborigines together, then drove them from the town into the forest, and finally near the stone plate."

"Is it similar to our current situation?" Fatty suggested.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at the fat man, with something in his eyes that the latter didn't quite understand, "You're right," Jiang Cheng nodded, "The purpose of the two should be the same, otherwise the explanation will not make sense. "

Crouching behind the rock, the fat man looked out through the gaps in the bushes, trying to find out where the monsters were chasing after him, and then sighed, "But I just don't know what their plan is."

Jiang Cheng leaned against the rock, and the "rustling" noises around him disturbed him. The mission was coming to an end, and the weird atmosphere in this forest was much stronger than before.

It can even affect his thinking to a certain extent.

But it seemed that when he raised his head, the fat man in front of him was much better. Although he looked very scared, his mind was clearer than before.

If there is no connection between the two hunting operations spanning hundreds of years, it is obviously impossible, but... Jiangcheng's eyes kept flashing.

Where exactly is the connection?
there is still a way out
Various clues emerged in his mind, they were divided into different parts, pieced together and integrated with each other. The meaningless ones were eliminated, and the new ones were refined again.

Until a bloody face appeared in his mind.

The screen suddenly freezes.

It was a girl's face, not very beautiful, ordinary, but not so ordinary, the smiling face was covered with blood, and the body was cut in half.

It is the granddaughter of the old man.

After that, it was as if the shutter of a camera was opened, and horrible smiling faces bloomed in his mind. They were brutally slaughtered without exception, but without exception, they left a strange smiling face.

It was the aborigines who were slaughtered before
They were laughing, as if the plot had succeeded.

A huge amount of information gathered in Jiangcheng's mind, entangled and almost exploded, but in the next moment, he raised his head suddenly, and his eyes became quiet.

He found a connection between the two events.

Following behind, he also understood the purpose of those monsters.

Killing them is not the purpose. The real purpose of those ghosts is to drive them to the vicinity of the stone plate and be killed by them, just like those dead and smiling "natives".

They just want to be free.

This is a cycle.
