[Science Fiction] Escape from Paint City

"Little..."

Shuichen was pushed away from the White Tower, so he had to follow the crowd and was led through several streets before the people gradually calmed down and stopped on Fante Street. At this time, fifty people gathered Caller.

Except for those who fell and were trampled and injured during the run, everyone else was safe and sound.Some people had black worms attached to their bodies, so frightened that they quickly shook off, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were not injured and their skin was even more delicate.The shaken bugs wriggled on the ground, sweeping away the dust.

"This should be the insect we use on a daily basis. It hasn't mutated yet, and it maintains the prohibition of harming the human body. But to be on the safe side, everyone should avoid all devouring insects in the future."

Shui Chen stood up and explained the situation clearly.

"Mutation? Do you know what's going on?"

"Didn't the Academy of Sciences say that the creation of devouring insects is under absolute control? How could there be such a mutation?"

"What should we do now? The army has also been dispersed and disappeared. Sure enough, we should go to the southwest suburbs according to the order."

"The government and the military are untrustworthy! I want to go home, I want to go home!"

People were talking about it, but most of them looked at Shui Chen with wary eyes, suspecting that he knew something inside.

Shuichen shrugged, spread his hands, and said, "Isn't it obvious that some insects have mutated now? Although most of the service species are still in a normal state, we don't know the reason for the mutation. The way of transmission is What, so it would be better to find a place of absolute defense."

Some people loosened their hearts and approached Shuichen hesitantly.

Shui Chen continued: "You go home now, go to other places, once the swarm run wild, can the place where you stay really block them?"

This sentence hit everyone's pain point. The devouring ability of the swarm has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since the beginning of its promotion, but now this devouring ability has become the biggest threat.

"I plan to go to the southwestern suburbs according to the command of the military. I am familiar with the route. Anyone who believes in it can go with me."

After speaking, Shuichen turned around, bypassed the black insects on the ground, walls, and trees, and headed towards the White Pagoda.

The crowd was commotion, one person, two people, finally except for a few people who remained in place and still hesitated, the others followed Shuichen closely.

Devouring worms are very sensitive to sound and environmental changes. When there are no obvious mutated worms, everyone walks lightly and silently.

Mocheng is very large, with Codex Square as the center, spreading in a circular shape. Xihe Park is located close to the West Second Ring Road, more than ten kilometers away from the southwest suburbs. All the traffic lines on the ground, underground, and air have been swallowed up. Destroyed and paralyzed, the created devouring insects proved that they have biological consciousness with their actions.

Several gathering places became the key targets of their attacks, and the attack on Xihe Park was only affected.They can't understand human language, but they will rush towards crowded places by virtue of induction. Due to the small number of people, Shuichen's small team avoided the attack by accident.

High-rise buildings were cut off in the middle, bridges were broken, countless ruins were visible, and a large number of main roads were blocked. It took Shuichen and the others twice the normal time to reach the southwestern suburbs until night fell.

The city, which should have been brightly lit, was now pitch black.Today is the full moon, and the soft and hazy moonlight reflects on the white lighthouse in the distance, as if guiding people forward in the dark.

The lighthouse was suspended in the air, Shui Chen squinted his eyes, only to find that it was standing on the top of the mountain, the hill was dark blue, and it had already merged with the night.The southwestern suburbs are currently a rare natural area, which retains various ancient plants and ecological models, and the lighthouse is located at Lingyun Mountain, the highest in the natural area.

"It should be there."

Shui Chen pointed to the lighthouse in the distance and said.The people cheered and gasped for breath.In modern society, few people have walked for so many hours on foot.

Suddenly, the young girl walking at the end let out a scream.Everyone was shocked, and turned around only to find that the swarm of insects had approached quietly at some point during the dark night and high wind, devouring everything they touched.

At night, the scale of the insect swarm could not be seen clearly, only the skin and flesh were gradually plunged into darkness, which made the scalp numb.

"run!"

Shui Chen gave an order, and everyone ran wildly.However, after several hours of running around, coupled with the unfamiliarity of the terrain, people kept falling and being submerged by the surging darkness.There were screams one after another, Shuichen was anxious, but knew that once he fell down, it would be useless, so he could only avoid all kinds of obstacles and run towards the lighthouse with all his strength.

When he was approaching the top of the mountain, Shuichen felt something attached to his back. He quickly took off his coat and threw it into the distance. The clothes were dissolved in the air, leaving only a mass of black worms to return to the ground.

This time the insect swarm was moving so fast that Shuichen didn't have time to look back, but judging from the sound, the people walking with him were probably already drowned by the insect swarm.

"Da Chen!"

With the sound of Qin Chen's voice, several jets of water gushed out from the front of Shuichen, and shot towards the swarm of insects, only the sound of piercing was heard, the surface of the black worms seemed to be burnt and turned into light gray, the swarm of insects Retreating, but unwilling to disperse, surrounded Shuichen in an arc.

"Are you OK."

Qin Chen appeared with two water guns in hand, wearing the transparent protective clothing worn by Dr. Qi in the previous video.The water gun looks like a joke, but the effect is beyond doubt.

"It's okay, is this in your hand?"

"Dr. Qi gave it to me. It contains medicine to suppress the infestation, which can make them retreat, but the effect is very short-lived and the quantity is limited."

The two talked back to back and walked towards the White Tower.As soon as they moved, the insect swarm also followed closely, forming a circle around the two of them, with black insects constantly flying towards them.

Qin Chen took off the button controller on his collar and slapped it on Shuichen's back. The transparent protective clothing disappeared in an instant, and it was activated again on Shuichen's body.

"Xiao Po!"

Shuichen reached out to take off the controller, but was stopped by Tan Chen, and at the same time he raised the water gun with his right hand to knock down the black bugs in the air.

"Don't talk yet, let's quickly enter the lighthouse."

At this time, they were still more than ten meters away from the White Pagoda, and the swarm of worms began to become crazy. A group of black worms was knocked down by Tan Chen, and more came up from all directions.Before the two of them noticed, the insect swarm had completely surrounded them, blocking the way to enter the White Tower.

Shui Chen didn't have time to argue with Tan Ling any more.The two did not discuss, but shifted their bodies tacitly. Tan Chen faced the White Tower and opened a passage with potions, while Shui Chen was behind him, blocking all attacks with protective clothing.As the swarms bumped into and bounced off again and again, blue lightning kept blooming on the transparent protective clothing.

However, the swarm seemed to recognize them. Even though they were burned by the water column, the color gradually became lighter to transparent, and finally turned into light smoke, they still persisted in filling them up.There were too many, which made it difficult for Shui Chen and Tan Chen to move forward at all.

"This won't work! If this goes on like this, the resistance of the protective clothing will be worn out, and the potion is almost used up, damn it!"

Tan Chen threw a water gun that had run out of potion on the ground, his childish face was full of anxiety.He bit his lower lip, hesitated for a moment, tore off his cuffs to cover his eyes and ears, covered his mouth and nose, took out the potion from the other water gun, and poured it over his head, soaking his whole body.

"We rushed in like this. The potion can temporarily repel the black bugs, so there is still time."

The situation at this time is not to be considered, and Shuichen has no time to hand over the protective clothing to Tan Ling, so he can only agree to his proposal.Facing the lighthouse, the two silently recited three two one in their hearts, and rushed towards the entrance together.

Without the expulsion of the potion, all the black bugs rushed up, and those who attacked Shuichen were still bounced off by the protective clothing, but the blue light became weaker and weaker.Tan Chen was densely covered with black worms from head to toe, but judging by his running speed, the swarm was obviously still in a confrontation with the consumption of the potion, and could not harm him for the time being.

The sleeve cloth is very thin, and Tan Chen can vaguely feel the light outside.When there were still three steps away from the lighthouse, the blue light went out like a burnt flame, and the resistance mechanism of the protective clothing was finally exhausted.

Tan Ling couldn't hold it anymore, he could feel the flesh being slowly bitten open, the potion paralyzed the speed of the black worm, so that the damage only stayed on the surface.

These three steps are very short, and Qin Chen can run in before the swarm invades the internal organs, but it is also enough for the swarm to eat up the unprotected Shui Chen.

A batch of black worms were bounced off, and a new batch rushed up again, they seemed to be very close to Shui Chen, but Shui Chen who was running didn't know anything about it.Qin Chen gritted his teeth, took out another tube of medicine from his pocket and drank it.

This is the attractant that was placed with the inhibitor, and he took it out by mistake, but now it can be used.

"Dachen, you must live well!"

Qin Chen's voice trembled, carrying the fear of death. Soon, every piece of his flesh and blood would be greatly attracted by the devouring worms, and he would feel his body being gnawed bit by bit until everything was gone. Not left.

"Xiao Lin?"

Shui Chen felt that something was wrong, he turned around and saw a scene that he will never forget.

The black worms that had surrounded the two of them swarmed towards Tan Bing, starting from his feet, to his calves, to his thighs, to his waist, spreading up little by little.Because of the inhibitor, this gnaw is slow and doesn't kill him quickly.

Shui Chen froze in place, her eyes were wide open, the eye sockets seemed to be split open.He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say a word, his fists were clenched tightly, and there were deep bloodstains on the palm of his hand, and the blood dripped down to the ground along his fingers.

Tan Chen raised his right hand as if wanting to touch Shui Chen, but was swallowed by the swarm half way through.

"Run! Don't let my sacrifice be in vain."

When the black line stretched to his chin, Tan Ling's last words came in the wind.

Shuichen took a deep look at Tan Ling, imprinted his last appearance in his mind, gritted his teeth, turned and ran into the lighthouse.

--split line--

The picture stops here abruptly, at this moment, Shuichen has tears streaming down his face, sobbing in his throat, he opened his mouth wide, but can't make a sound.

The author has something to say: So Brother Chen survived entirely because of Qin Chen saving his life. Therefore, it is only natural that he becomes an obsession in Brother Chen's heart and one of the driving forces for him to return to reality.

I think Brother Chen should have a BGM for him when he runs, Bao Weiming's "Run, Run" haha~

In addition, I think of a stalk, the top of Lingyun, 99 meters. 【Hope not to be beaten hhh】

The technology tree in the real world will also be more subtle. The current memories are only partly flashed, and the overall situation will not be described until we return to the real world~

When I wrote about Qin Xun's death scene, I cried like a 140-pound fat man TAT, he was only a 15-year-old boy!
