mother of beasts

The following days became much more dull. Although in the end, crises are everywhere, but after all, there are still times when people can take a breath.

After getting lost several times and walking for several days, Li Jia arrived in a small town with the little monster.

This small town is very strange, built on a barren mountain, surrounded by deserts on three sides, only the road that Li Jia came from showed no signs of sandstorms.

As if covered by something, the small town looks crude, but it stands intact on the mountain, and some gravel and rubble are swept up by the strong wind, but every time it gets close to the town, , will go far away.

The town seemed to be very lively, and someone's voice could be heard faintly.

Li Jia stood on the only road not covered by wind and sand for a while, looking at the gradually darkening weather, and finally made up his mind to go to the town to spend the night.

Walking along that road, Li Jia looked at the town that was getting closer and closer to him, and the speed of his feet accelerated a lot.

However, something unexpected happened.

When Li Jia faced the small town and was about to step into the town, he stepped out of the town with his whole body, passing through the small town completely as if in a dream.

The expression on Li Jia's face froze, and he silently turned around to look at the town.

The town is still there, behind him, just one step away, he has crossed from the other end of the town to this end.

Stretching out his hand, Li Jia stared intently at the town in front of him.

Fingers approached slowly, touching, until they penetrated the town to the other side again.

Mirage.

It turned out that everything was an illusion.

Feeling inexplicably lost in his heart, Li Jia looked at the phantom that seemed to be right in front of him and did not speak.

In the apocalypse, mirages generally cannot appear, because of the deterioration and compression of certain components in the air. There is no reason for this kind of thing that only exists in history to appear here, unless...

There are traps!

The thoughts in his head ran quickly, and he came to this conclusion after a few seconds.

Without even thinking about it, Li Jia quickly ran away behind him, holding the little monster that had grown up a lot, and started running for his life without looking back.

As if to confirm Li Jia's conjecture, the moment he turned around, the noisy town slowly disappeared from the sky, replaced by a hand, a human hand holding a gun.

Pressing the button of the gun, that hand fired a shot in the direction Li Jia was running away from.

The speed of the bullet was very fast, but the sound it made when it rubbed against the air was not loud. Li Jia, who just ran with his head buried in his head, didn't feel the deadly ammunition behind him at all.

Seeing that the bullet was about to shoot directly through his heart from the back, a strange figure poked its head out from the crook of his arm, jumped up and bit the bullet, and then fell into Li Jia's arms again.

Li Jia, who was startled by the little monster falling out of his arms suddenly, didn't break out in a cold sweat until the little thing fell into his arms again and opened his mouth to please him and spit out a metal shell.

If it wasn't for the bite from it just now, would he have just been shot to death?

Without giving the boy any time to think, seeing the shot miss, the owner of the shooter slowly got out of the illusory scene.

The tall man dressed in white glanced at Li Jia in front of him, his eyes fixed, and his figure jumped forward nimbly.

After the man walked out, dozens of similarly dressed people in white quickly walked out of the phantom. It wasn't until the last person appeared that the phantom of the town disappeared into the air.

Without any communication, the tacit understanding of the people in white cooperating with each other is simply frightening, jumping forward from different directions.

Li Jia didn't look back, but ran desperately, but unfortunately, he had to stop before he had time to run a few more steps.

In front of him, a lot of men in white clothes suddenly appeared. They carried unknown high-end guns in their hands, and each of them wore a pair of strange shoes, which firmly blocked the road ahead and completely cut off his escape route.

Li Jia took a step back, looked around, and suddenly ran towards the gap next to him.

Just when Li Jia was about to break through the gap, several white-clothed men suddenly appeared in front of him, watching him run past expressionlessly, and then raised their hands to shoot.

Li Jia quickly stopped his steps and rolled on the ground, avoiding the deadly gun.

However, it was also at this time that Li Jia realized that he had already run into the desert, and there was fine dust under his feet.

The sand has been exposed to the sun for a long time during the day, and at this moment, the body is rolling against the ground, and the hot feeling passes through the clothes and spreads to the skin.

Quickly got up and took out the gun, Li Jia was about to fight back, but the back of his head was blocked by something hard.

The movements of his whole body froze, and he remained motionless as he was about to shoot.

Anyone with a little brain can feel what the hard object is pressing against his head. As long as he moves, he may be with the yellow sand here forever in the next second.

Unfortunately, fate is always very helpless. Sometimes, what the other party wants is not your temporary compromise, but eternal silence, just like now: "Bang——"

Without any warning, without a moment's hesitation, the executioner behind him has already fired his gun.

There was a decisive gunshot, the sound of the bullet penetrating the skin and the skull was so clear, the world seemed to fall into silence in an instant.

The surrounding was very quiet, except for the sound of the wind sweeping the sand and dust raging in the air, there was nothing else. Li Jia only felt a dull pain in the back of his head, and all the strength in his body was sucked out at once.

"Well--"

There was a soft cry, very familiar, Li Jia trembling eyelids, lowered his head stiffly, facing a strange creature with fine white short hair all over its body.

little monster……

Li Jia opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he just made a silent mouth shape.

I have never felt that breathing is such a painful thing.

Li Jia squinted his eyes slightly, his face was terribly pale, and he wanted to reach out to touch the little thing in his arms as usual, but his head gradually became heavy.

"Bam—"

The sound of the body falling to the ground was heard, and the boy's body fell heavily, hitting the soft yellow sand.

From being shot to falling to the ground, it took no more than a few seconds, but the boy made no sound anymore, as if he was dead.

Other people in white around slowly approached, and the special shoes under their feet allowed them to glide quickly in the desert without being hindered.

The man in white who just shot saw Li Jia fell down, stared at the young man on the ground expressionlessly, raised his gun, and fired again.

The shot failed.

A strange small creature suddenly drilled out of the sand under his feet, and took a hard bite towards the man's calf.

The man who never thought that something would come out of his feet was bitten defenselessly, and before he could let out a wail, he turned into a mummy, standing upright in the desert.

The other men in white obviously didn't expect such a sudden situation to happen, and by the time they realized what had happened, it was already too late.

The small and strange creature quickly sneaked into the ground after a successful blow. The unique powerful ability of the strange beast enables it to quickly dig a passage in the sandy ground, and sneak attack and kill the humans on the sand in the shortest possible time. die.

The men in white clothes who had no time to react were stunned, and suddenly there were several living mummies in the desert.

Knowing that something was wrong with them below, the people in white quickly backed up, preparing to return to the normal road, and at the same time shot at the sand around them, trying to kill the shameless attacker.

It's just that the sand is sand after all, and their particles are small and numerous. The powerful and swift bullets hit it like using human flesh to attract bloodthirsty beasts, and once gone, they never returned.

Human beings were successfully attacked by creatures that suddenly appeared from nowhere. The remaining white-clothed men panicked and took out black nets one by one.

So, when another person was attacked, he quickly threw out the black net at the moment it sprang out from the ground.

The response of the unknown little creature was extremely sharp, and as soon as it realized that something was wrong, it immediately sneaked into the ground again.

However, the momentary pause just now was enough for the man in white who was lucky enough to escape to discover its true colors.

"Special beast!"

The man yelled, and with the help of the wind and sand, his hoarse voice quickly spread to everyone's ears.

Several people in white looked at the fallen boy reflexively. Li Jia's body seemed to be a little sunken than before.

The alien beast larva that was born from the boy's body was always protected by the boy in his arms, and the moment he fell down just now, it happened to be under his body.

The alien beast larva escaped from the bottom and successfully attacked them.

Looking at the scattered and isolated mummies in the desert, and remembering the conclusions of the brain wave analysis in the report, they unconsciously shivered.

Everyone twisted their faces, holding guns and black nets and looking around vigilantly, carefully paying attention to the movement around them, not daring to relax a bit.

However, the little monster seemed to understand that his whereabouts were exposed, and the sneak attack stopped. The people in white were nervous for a while, but there was no movement.

The sky had already darkened, but none of the human beings had the slightest thought of resting, even though there was a lot of sweat on each of their faces.

Just when their bodies stiffened into stone, the little monster finally appeared.

The target this time is the thinnest one among the men in white. After all, the weak ones are the best to deal with.

But obviously, it misread this time.
