Chapter 545 Confrontation between the two sides
After hearing Gu Tongwan's voice, Xu Wei was even more stunned. Xu never expected that the extremely sharp and powerful stick that almost hit him just now was done by a woman.
"Wait a minute, beauty, we are not bad people. We are also here to seek refuge." The young man's mind worked much faster than Xu Wei. When he saw Gu Tongwan holding a baton in a menacing manner, he immediately explained quickly.
Gu Tongwan curled his lips and sneered, "Who wouldn't say they are a good person these days? But who can tell the difference between a good person and a bad person? After all, anyone can say what they like to a person and what they don't like to a ghost."
"That's right, who knows whether you are good guys or bad guys, and you look sneaky." Luo Mei also echoed from the side.
Xu Wei's face showed embarrassment, but the extremely dim light concealed it a little. Perhaps it was because he knew that the other person was a human, and a girl at that, so he was not as alert as before.
"No, we really came here to seek refuge. I live in Xiaohe Community. We were short of supplies at home, so residents from the same community formed a team to search for supplies. We ended up encountering a monster outside, and we just escaped here." Xu Wei's voice was trembling as he spoke this. The thought of what he had experienced twenty minutes ago was like a nightmare. Thinking about it now, he was even more scared than when he had just experienced it.
"Xiaohe Community, it's quite close to my home." Luo Mei said this with a frown.
"Yes, the areas surrounding Xiaohe Community are all resettlement communities. In addition to our community, there are several more communities. Little girl, which community are you from?" Xu Wei probably wanted to clear up everyone's misunderstanding, so he was busy starting a conversation.
Although Luo Mei didn't completely believe Xu Wei, she still answered without hesitation: "From Tonghu Community."
"Isn't it just below our neighborhood? It should be there in ten minutes on foot."
"I know about Tonghu Community. I delivered things there when I was a volunteer." Luo Mei nodded, and her eyes were less guarded than before.
Gu Tongwan took a step back and turned on the flashlight again. "You just said you encountered a monster when you came here. What monster?"
As soon as these two words were mentioned, Xu Wei and the young man's faces turned much uglier, especially the young man whose lips were still trembling.
Xu Wei had experienced more than the young man, so he calmed down a bit before answering, "It's a kind of white furry monster. They can hide in the snow and move freely in a blizzard. They are very agile and bloodthirsty. Among the group of us who got out, only he and I survived."
"The rest are all dead. They were torn and bitten to death alive. Those things pounced on people when they saw them. They were very cunning. You couldn't feel their presence in the snow at all. Brother Xu and I had a lot of trouble to escape here." The young man's whole body was leaning against the door panel like a deflated ball, and his voice was unconsciously tinged with tears.
"We found that those monsters have no way to enter other places except moving in the snow, which means they rely on the snow to survive. That's why we decided to take a gamble and enter the clinic. Firstly, the clinic is relatively large. Compared with escaping on the streets and exposing our position, we have a better chance of survival in a hidden space. Fortunately, we made the right bet." Xu Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he knew in his heart that hiding here all the time was not a solution. It was equivalent to the monsters outside having trapped them in the clinic. As long as the blizzard continued, those monsters would most likely continue to exist.
"This guess seems to be similar to what you said before, Sister Wanwan. Those monsters can't come in because they rely on blizzard to survive." Luo Mei looked at Gu Tongwan and found that the other's expression became more and more solemn, so her heart was lifted again.
"There are probably dozens of such monsters outside now. You have fought with them. Can you guess what kind of mutant beasts they are?" Gu Tongwan turned his gaze to Xu Wei on the side.
Xu Wei frowned and thought for a while before he said with some certainty: "Between C and B levels, they don't have any special abilities, but what's scary is that they can hide in the ice and snow, and they are very fast. More importantly, they should be gregarious mutants. If they are just one, they may not be so scary, but if they appear in groups, even A-level hunters may not be able to deal with them."
"Ah? Isn't that similar to the mutant rat swarm? They both rely on numbers to win."
"Although rats will actively attack humans, there is at least a glimmer of hope if you encounter one. However, this monster is too mobile. If it can really hide in the snow, you have no idea which direction it will appear from. Moreover, they are extremely powerful and can easily tear apart people's limbs. If possible, I would rather encounter a swarm of mutant rats than encounter such a monster." Xu Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly at Luo Mei.
"Did you close the door to the first floor when you came in just now?" Gu Tongwan asked casually because there was a crackling sound coming from downstairs.
At this time, Xu Wei looked at the young man who was still leaning against the door and breathing heavily.
The young man felt everyone's eyes were on him, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He said uncertainly, "I just took two trash cans and a chair... Wait, it's not that I didn't want to close the door, it's just that the wind outside was too strong, and the door lock looked like it had been broken, so it couldn't be closed at all. I wanted to tell you, Brother Xu, but we were afraid that there was something upstairs at the time, so I forgot."
"What? Then those things won't rush in right away, right?" When Luo Mei heard that the door couldn't be closed tightly, she was so scared that she tightly grasped the stick in her hand.
“That shouldn’t be the case. It seems that those things require snow to work.” The young man explained immediately.
But Gu Tongwan considered another situation. Although those things depend on ice and snow, if the temperature continues to drop, coupled with their bloodthirsty instinct for prey, they may enter the building.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death. Once the monsters outside find a way to get in, we will be hunted. So we have to think of a corresponding countermeasure before that. Although I don't completely trust you yet, I think we can choose to cooperate at this time. After all, we are all trying to survive."
Xu Wei nodded. Although he agreed with the proposal, he still had some doubts, so he said, "I agree, but I have a question. Even if we can escape from this building, we can't get too far given the speed of those monsters. What should we do then?"
"We drove here, and our car is outside, but... it's the main gate." Gu Tongwan replied.
The young man's scalp tingled when he heard the word "gate". He couldn't help but complain: "This main gate is full of those white-haired monsters. I don't dare to drive a car. Who is willing to take that risk?"
Thirteen kilometers away in the northeast of the shantytown, a monster with white hair all over its body but faintly visible black skin underneath the hair was crouching and seemed to be talking to a black hole several meters wide, making sounds in a language that was not human.
After a while, a black, dry claw was seen stretching out from the black cave. The claw had five fingers similar to those of humans, but the difference was that the skin on the fingers had not only lost its luster but was also covered with rough fine lines, similar to a mummy that had been dried for many years. Moreover, white hair gradually grew upwards on the back of the hand.
That thing also uttered a language that did not belong to humans. The white hair on its face was exposed by the slightest breeze, and its originally black skin was revealed. The pupils of its eyes occupied nearly two-thirds of the area, making its eyes look like a black bottomless pit. It seemed to have no emotions when looking at things, which made people feel inexplicably creepy.
It is hard to tell what kind of creature this strange mutant beast belongs to. Although it looks like the snow ape that appeared in front of the world a few days ago, its appearance is closer to humans than the snow ape, especially its face has human features. If people who have seen mutants see this creature, they will be amazed that it is almost identical to the mutants that have appeared in the dungeon before, except for the hair on its body.
And the strangest thing is that this monster not only communicates in a strange language, but can even make gestures similar to sign language.
After the two monsters had a brief exchange, the first one jumped into the cave, and the other followed closely.
A few hundred meters away from the cave, several armored vehicles of the guard team were driving through a deserted neighborhood.
After the guards left, the two monsters hiding in the cave opened their eyes again. It was obvious that they had just sensed the approach of a person with superpowers. The monsters, who were extremely sensitive to superpowers, immediately drilled into the cave and completely concealed their aura. They even had some resistance to mental power, which allowed them to live in the underground cave for a long time.
There were a total of more than a dozen guards on the three armored vehicles that just passed by, and the monsters keenly sensed that there were A-level mutants on them, which was an absolute threat to the two monsters.
After the armored vehicle moved away, strange looks appeared on the faces of the two monsters, and their black hole-like eyes looked even more eerie in the cold and damp cave.
The next moment, the two monsters looked at each other tacitly and then ran wildly in a certain direction. Moreover, the running posture of these two monsters was not like the snow apes on all fours. Instead, they ran on two feet like humans, and their hands were swinging back and forth. If it were not for the strange white hair, they would be almost the same as humans from the back.
The two monsters ran forward for at least forty minutes without any news, and only stopped for a while when they were about to reach their destination. They were slightly panting at this time. It seemed that they had run a long distance. The caves here were rugged and rugged. The two monsters also took a detour and then suddenly became a spacious cave. When they arrived at the final destination, they found that there was a cave of at least several hundred square meters in front of them, and in the middle of the cave there were extremely strange things similar to red bags hanging. You can vaguely see something in those things, and there seemed to be living things, and there were gasps in the air.
On the other side, there is a sunken cave of about 100 square meters. This cave was obviously dug afterwards. It is about ten meters deep. All you can see underneath are human skeletons. The skeletons have been peeled off very cleanly. There are some tattered things vaguely next to them, which should be the clothes that the owner of the skeleton wore when he was alive.
Next to the stone wall on the right, there are a lot of white skins and heads piled up. If you look closely, you will find that these heads are the mutated snow apes that were able to hide in the blizzard before. The heads of these snow apes are all torn off, and some are just the heads, but no other limbs are seen. There are even a lot of white hair skins on the ground, stained with dried brown blood.
The owners of these heads and skins are snow apes. It is obvious that these snow apes were tortured to death and then dismembered and eaten. The snow apes, which originally hunted humans for food, have now become the prey of another mutant monster.
There are independent caves next to the sunken cave. These caves are only about two square meters in size, but there is a monster curled up in almost every one of them.
At first glance, there are at least hundreds of such big monsters in the entire cave. The most terrifying thing is that these monsters have the same habits as the "mutants" that the guard team had previously targeted for cleaning missions. The only difference is that these monsters have white hair similar to that of snow apes, but they are obviously superior to snow apes in intelligence and close to mutants.
After the two monsters came back, they made a strange cry towards a monster at the top of the cave. That monster was obviously larger than the other monsters, with a length of at least two meters, and strong muscles in its torso. Its arms span was at least one meter thirty-four, and its hanging arms could reach its knees. More importantly, this monster seemed to be very prestigious. The moment he opened his eyes, the monsters in other caves also opened their eyes and bowed.
It was obvious that this monster was the leader of this group of cave monsters, and the powerful pressure it displayed even made the two monsters lying on the ground for reconnaissance tremble uncontrollably.
The monster that looked like the leader suddenly turned its dark eyes after hearing the voices of the two monsters, and then its Adam's apple rolled violently. Then the monster made a very strange hoarse cry, and instantly took out a rotten corpse from the ground on one side. It was the corpse of a snow ape with only the thigh left after being gnawed.
With the sound of tearing, the thigh was soon completely bitten clean by the monster leader.
The blood-red bag that was originally hanging above the cave suddenly shook violently. With a "pop" sound, the bag fell to the ground, and then a rugged body crawled out.
