A hunting adventure [unlimited]

At night, when the temperature in the primeval forest dropped below zero, Yu Zhen was sleepy at ten o'clock, wrapping himself in a sleeping bag and closing his eyes to rest; but every time Du Yu called him, he would respond, but he was too tired to open his eyes.

At midnight, the pregnant woman finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

Du Yu heard the baby's loud cry and looked towards the camp. Yu Zhen, who was sleeping, seemed to be disturbed as well, and his brows tightened.

The bonfire in the camp reflected the crowd, and Erica hugged the baby and laughed, "My God! This is the first time I saw a living baby. This is my sister!"

Du Yu walked around the bonfire, knelt down and patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Would you like to take a look?"

Yu Zhen muttered impatiently, turned to the other side, breathing evenly.

Du Yu didn't want to wake him up, so he had to go there by himself.

The camp was lively and noisy, and the temperature was a little higher. Erica, whose hands were still bloodstained, was holding the crying baby girl in her infancy, with a bright smile. Seeing him coming, she said, "Fortunately, it's a girl. If it's a boy , I castrated him."

She wasn't joking.

Although Du Yu's scalp is not going to tingle, but hearing such words, he feels somewhat uncomfortable; this is being questioned "Your existence is unfair" and threatened with "I will reform you".

Erika returned to her innocent little girl demeanor and asked, "Do you want to hug her?"

Du Yu: "If possible..."

A baby with wrinkled skin was placed in his arms, so small and soft.

Curious about her mother, Du Yu turned his eyes to the crowd and saw someone covering the pregnant woman after giving birth with a blanket covering her head and face.People gathered on both sides bowed their heads and wept.

He questioned Erica with his eyes.

"As you can see, she is dead." Erica said calmly, "You have never been a father, but you should know the threat to a woman's life after childbirth."

"Anyway..." Erica took the baby from his arms and said, "When giving birth no longer damages the mother's body and is no longer accompanied by the probability of death, I will admit that the womb is a gift from the creator, not a curse and bad luck. "

Du Yu said, "You look like someone I know well."

"Who? Your girlfriend?"

"My sister."

"Looking at your appearance, your sister must be a beauty."

"Yes."

Erica raised her eyebrows and said, "Then it would be a pity that she didn't welcome this kind of bad luck. Rare genes such as beauty should be passed on."

Du Yu turned to look at the dark lake, and said, "When it's dawn, bury the body over there. The scenery is beautiful."

Erica had dimples on her cheeks, "They're all dead, it's different where they are buried. By the way, what about the other one?"

Yu Zhen she asked.Du Yu replied, "I'm sleeping."

"Can you sleep in the wilderness? You'd better wake him up and go back to sleep."

There are more people in the camp, the fire is brighter, and it is safer to take care of each other in a centralized manner than to disperse them.

When Du Yu returned to the lake, Yu Zhen was still asleep.He picked a blade of grass, scratched the other's brow with the tip of the leaf, and called out: "Wake up, it's dawn."

The jumping flames streamed across the person's face, Yu Zhen still had his eyes closed, his drooping eyelashes curled up, but they didn't tremble at all.

Du Yu threw away the grass, and wanted to pinch the opponent's cheeks, but his fingers felt a warmth.

He realized something, shifted his fingers to sniff——

Not breathing.

Du Yu tightened his five fingers, held his trembling nerves, and slowly unzipped the sleeping bag...

A cluster of dense and lush vines popped out, its branches and leaves shaking.The part of Yu Zhen's body below the chest was coiled by intertwined green rhizomes, as if wrapped in a tight omentum.

Du Yu opened the sleeping bag and dragged the person out completely. He found that the body was tightly wrapped by vines from chest to legs. Under the small drop-shaped leaves were densely intertwined roots and hairs. Not a single inch of skin and clothes could be seen.

There was an intense dull pain in his chest, the suffocation of drowning spread over the tip of the pen, and the eye sockets were filled with wet sourness and hotness.

It took almost a second for him to find the cause—there was an unknown deadly danger hidden in the dark grass.

The picture of Yu Zhen containing the injured finger flashed back and forth in his mind repeatedly.

He didn't want to ask himself or anyone else why he wasn't more cautious, why he came to this forest, and why he had to get out of the car.

That is useless reflection.

He was not sad, but his soul seemed to be cut by a knife and saw, split into two, the huge loss and emptiness overwhelmed him, his strength was drained, and his steps became light and unreal.

Du Yu returned to the camp as if he was sleepwalking. He found the largest knife, ignored Erica and all the sounds from the outside world, and walked through the dark 20 meters to the side of the flesh swallowed by plants.

Start cutting.

He wants to dissect these plants and peel off the opponent's original body from the hard rhizome cocoon.

He couldn't prevent death, but wanted to at least bury everyone who died in a secular way.

Although these parasitic plants that feed on human blood are soft, their toughness is immeasurable. When they are intertwined into a web, their hardness is comparable to that of trees.

Du Yu could only pierce in one by one, pick apart the weak veins, and peel them off one by one. The green slurry dripped on the palm of his hand, which was very slippery, similar to the touch of blood, except that it was cold.

On the way, he stopped and coughed many times, and there was a mass of blood stagnant in his heart—every time he cut, it seemed as if he was cutting his own internal organs, and the dirty blood that could not be drained could only form a puddle that pressed on the atrium, causing extreme pain Then it becomes a dull feeling of blockage.

"Don't cut it." Erika walked behind him unknowingly, "He was eaten."

Du Yu looked down, the blade in his hand had pierced the knotted vine roots to a depth enough to pierce a human body. If the plant was wrapped in flesh, then he must be cutting human flesh now.

But no, there are still entangled rhizomes deep in the rhizome.

The people inside have completely disappeared.

was eaten.

Du Yu's stomach twitched violently, and he threw himself to the side, retching heart-piercingly, as if he wanted to spit out the broken liver, gallbladder, and intestines in his abdominal cavity.

But there was nothing in his body either.

He has heard that there is a kind of torture that can make people die extremely painfully. It is to use a wooden stake to penetrate the human body, and then bury the wooden stake in the ground. The person will not die immediately, but will suffer from blood loss and pain. Feel the passing of life little by little.

Du Yu felt that at this moment, he was the dying person who was strung on the stake.

It’s not that he lost Yu Zhen, they just met each other not long ago, so it’s impossible to talk about gaining or losing; it’s his memories, dreams, hallucinations... everything is fine, every one of him in those overlapping illusory multiple times and spaces lost his company at the same time. people around me.

He is still very young, and what he suffered in the past growth was only some flesh wounds, and it hurts, but he can always recover and grow well.

This time, it was as if half of himself had been taken away, and it would never grow back.

Based on his experience, he couldn't even analyze the source and composition of this pain. In his short life of more than 20 years, he never loved anyone, nor was he loved by anyone.

—Then why does it still hurt so much?

Even this bewildering, incomprehensible anguish became part of the pain, tearing him to pieces.

There is no god in this world, so he hugged the mutilated body. ——It's very strange, countless new vines are connected to the damaged flesh and blood, dying and decaying, while being full of vitality.

He asked the still beautiful head:

—Can you wake up and tell me?

***

When a person has strong emotional fluctuations in a dream, the consciousness will also control the brain to make the same physiological response.

Like shed tears.

Warm tears flowed down Du Yu's cheeks, and he woke up from the nightmare immediately after.

Perhaps waking up, like running away, is an avoidance response to fear.

He fell asleep leaning against the wall, still holding a pen and a sketchbook in his hand. The room was still the deserted stone room, with piles of scrap iron tables and chairs piled up beside the door.

It's a dream.

They are still imprisoned in the cold place under the desert rock formations, surrounded by lifeless crowds and bloodthirsty alien creatures.

Du Yu sat up wearily, supported his forehead and said, "I dreamed that you were infected and turned into a bunch of plants."

But no one answered him.

He raised his eyes to look for people, and turned his eyes to the corner of the wall, the dazzling greenery filled his field of vision.

There is a beautiful head among the young green vines, with long eyelashes hanging down, quiet and serene.

Du Yu rushed over like crazy——

He first bit his arm hard, the skin was torn apart, it was painful and real.

No, every one of his dreams was real.

If this is reality, why did the scene in his dream appear in reality?

If this is also a dream, where is his reality?

His thinking and rationality turned into a mess of loose sand, forcing him to give up thinking.

Instinctively, Du Yu found out the refrigeration box that he kept carefully all the way. He took out all the serum and walked to the vines that formed a net in the corner.

To put it bluntly, it looks like a piece of installation art.

The emerald green leaves and tendrils cling to the smooth stone surface, the rhizomes interweave and weave a net, and a mutilated human body is connected to the roots of the plants. The blood vessels, meridians and stems are completely integrated, similar to some kind of wonderful symbiotic relationship.

It's just that people are dead and vines are alive.

He held up the pale, cold pointed chin, looked at the two light pink lips, and injected the serum one by one.

At this time, someone unlocked and opened the door, and the footsteps of no less than two people entered the room.

Du Yu suddenly turned around——

The soft walls with special materials and the overhead lights reflect the dazzling pure white.

Even the doors and floors are white.

The two people who entered the door were wearing white uniforms, one tall and one short; the short one was an Asian doctor with black hair and black eyes, and the tall one was a white nurse with hairy arms.

The burly nurse held a medical record and said to the doctor, "Look, I told you he was going to grab something, so I gave him some toys."

Du Yu lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on his hands. He was holding two syringes without needles.

The vines in the corner and the human body were all gone, only a snow-white wall and a small indoor potted tree half the height of a person remained.

He was just watering the green leaves of the young tree with a needle.

The handsome doctor at the door said: "Okay, I understand, give this to me, and you can do your work." Then he took the medical record from the nurse.

Du Yu stood there in a daze.

The doctor closed the door behind his back with one hand, walked up to him, raised his head and was still a bit shorter than him.

"What are you looking at?" Yu Zhen picked up the medical record and knocked him on the head, asking, "Do you recognize me this time?"
