The Return of Cambrian Period
Chapter 2
When they went downstairs, they looked at the thermometer all day long, and sure enough, the temperature had returned to [-] degrees. At the coldest time, it might have dropped below zero.
Cong Xia said: "Let's find a place to sit and find something to eat for you. Don't be hungry. I ate so much meat just now, and I'm not hungry at all. You are so hungry."
Cheng Tianbi was really hungry, and he didn't know why he was so hungry, but he didn't show it, because he heard some noises around him, and he needed to find a safe place to eat.
The two of them walked out of the community and found that there were obviously more pedestrians on the road. It was after five o'clock in the afternoon, just one day after the earthquake in Golmud, and this former civilized society was already in chaos.Just a few hours after they fell asleep, the grocery stores, small supermarkets, and fruit stands on both sides of the street were all in a mess. When passing by, they could still see rotten food and looted shelves inside. The two went in to try their luck. Only two bottles of water were found.
Two cars rushed over from the other side of the street one after the other. The rear car seemed to be chasing the front car. The two cars were moving forward like a dragon. Cheng Tianbi hurriedly dragged Cong Xia aside.
I saw the car in front slammed into a trash can on the side of the road and turned off the engine. Three young and strong men got out of the car behind. When they got up, they kicked and smashed at the door. Box Sealed Cookie Jar.The people in the car in front also rushed down, there were men and women, and the two groups fought in the street over the cans of biscuits.
Cong Xia stared at this scene with wide eyes, and her heart was filled with sadness.
In just one day, most of the things stored without vacuum and refrigeration have gone bad, and food is the biggest crisis facing everyone right now.From the smashed-up shop on the road to the people fighting over a few cans of biscuits, Cong Xia realized how naive he was to find something to eat for Cheng Tianbi.There is no food to be found now, and most people have already started to grab it.He tugged at the sky wall: "Let's go quickly." They still had some food in their backpacks, what if these people fell in love with them after they finished fighting.
Cheng Tianbi looked at the cans of biscuits, his eyes darkened a bit.
Cong Xia urged: "Let's go, let's find a hidden place to eat." When he said this, he lowered the volume to a very low level, for fear that others would hear it.
Cheng Tianbi looked down at the military uniform on his body, then turned his gaze back, and followed Cong Xia away.
The two walked two streets, found a small supermarket that had been ransacked, and hid in it.The goods in the supermarket were scattered all over the floor, looking messy and messy. As Cong Xia walked in, she paid attention to her feet, hoping to pick up some edible things.Although he is not hungry now, he is very anxious when he thinks that Cheng Tianbi is hungry. He already regards Cheng Tianbi as a companion in his heart, and even because of timidity, he has a kind of dependence on Cheng Tianbi. He knows that he wants to go to Beijing to join the second Uncle, you must follow Cheng Tianbi, so as to have a chance of survival.
The two chose a clean corner to sit down. Cong Xia hadn't sat on his buttocks yet, only to hear a scream, and a mouse with a big head jumped over his lap. Cong Xia was startled, and subconsciously Leaning towards Cheng Tianbi.Cheng Tianbi quickly drew out his saber, and stabbed at the mouse, but unfortunately, the mouse was very nimble and disappeared in an instant.Cheng Tianbi withdrew the saber, looking rather regretful.
Cold sweat broke out on Cong Xia's face: "We're not hungry enough to eat rats, are we?"
"It's not here yet, you can see it in three days."
Cong Xia shivered, unable to imagine that one day they would compete to eat mice.
He took out the swollen food bags, and tore open the bags without giving up, but a rancid smell hit his nostrils, and he almost passed out.Cheng Tianbi threw away the broken ones, picked out a bag of good bacon, tore it open, and took a bite, looking really hungry.
Cong Xia found a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and handed it to him: "Don't eat too fast, and this is very salty."
Cheng Tianbi drank his saliva and continued to bite the bacon.The bacon was indeed salty and tasted heavy, but he had no choice at this time. He felt that his stomach was like a bottomless pit, and he urgently needed to replenish food. He was so hungry that he began to panic. It didn't look like he had just eaten a few hours ago. Yes, it looks like I have been hungry for three days.Cong Xia also realized this abnormal situation: "Could it be related to your evolution that you are so hungry?"
Cheng Tianbi said: "It must be related."
He insisted on stuffing a bag of bacon into his stomach, and Tianbi also drank two bottles of water. Although he still felt hungry, he restrained his desire to continue eating///.
Cong Xia kept watching him eat, handed him water, and asked softly when he was done, "Are you full?"
Cheng Tianbi looked at his watch: "We have delayed too much time, let's go."
"You only eat one bag, is that enough? Eat more."
Cheng Tianbi shook his head: "We can't procrastinate any longer, we must hurry to the airport."
Cong Xia sighed: "I hope to have fresh food in Beijing."
Cheng Tianbi didn't speak, but he also hoped to get on the plane and leave here as soon as possible. The two of them set off on the road again with the expectation of fresh food in the capital.
Cong Xia took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "The mobile phone has no signal, the network must be paralyzed, it's over, now we have lost contact with the outside world."
Cheng Tianbi said: "Don't worry about it, go to the airport as soon as possible."
"Now the main road is blocked by cars, but maybe the road will be clear when we leave the city. Let's find a way to get a car then."
Cheng Tianbi nodded: "Leave the city first."
The two of them didn't dare to delay any longer, and kept walking towards the entrance of the expressway. However, the road was not smooth. They kept seeing things being beaten///smashed///robbed///burned, and there were still The special police and the army suppressed it, but the spread of this kind of turmoil///is getting bigger and bigger, and the authorities are already overwhelmed by the huge city.Who can imagine that at this time yesterday, this city was still orderly, safe and clean.But in one day, the weeds that came out of the cracks in the floor tiles covered people's calves, and there were smashed windows and looted shops everywhere.When passing a street, they even saw a group of very large rats biting the body of a homeless man.Normal pedestrians can no longer be seen on the streets, and the whole city is filled with the smell of corruption and despair, a nightmare world.There are more and more people carrying luggage on the road. It seems that many people have the same idea as them and want to escape from the city.
It took them two hours to walk from the city center to the edge of the city. After leaving the main road, the traffic jam was obviously much better. They pried open the door of a car all day long, just like car thieves on TV, rubbing two dozen Firewire, drove the engine.The two got into the car and drove towards the airport.The car didn't have a lot of fuel, and the two gas stations they saw along the way were empty, and the gas outlets were already blocked by dozens of cars waiting to refuel, and those cars were all dead without exception. was discarded.They ran four or five kilometers on the highway, and the car ran out of gas.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Cong Xia was exhausted after walking for a day. He looked at the highway with no villages or shops in front of it, and analyzed: "I think we should stay in the car and rest. When it gets dark , the visibility is too low, and there are weeds as high as a person on both sides of the highway, I don’t know what is hidden inside, and besides, what if the temperature suddenly drops again.”
Cheng Tianbi shook his head and said, "It's still [-] kilometers away from the airport. Let's go down the highway and we'll be there before dawn. The sooner we get to the airport, the more likely we'll leave. We can't waste time here."
"But there's no light at all here. Did you hear the sound coming from the grass on both sides of the highway? I don't know what it is." Cong Xia looked at the weeds taller than people in fear, and they groped in the dark like this On the road, how far can you go?
"If there is really something, it's safe to stay in the car?" Cheng Tianbi got out of the car first, and said forcefully, "Get down."
Cong Xia had no choice but to get out of the car.
Before the sun had completely set, the two of them walked quickly along the straight expressway. Occasionally, one or two cars passed by. They waved, but the car refused to stop. Maybe the car was full, maybe people were panicking at this time , No one cares about others.In short, they went until the sun went down, and the vehicles passing by did not stop.
Cheng Tianbi has been expressionless, but Cong Xia is about to collapse. Hunger, exhaustion, disappointment, and the deepest fear make him feel frightened every step he takes. This endless road makes him also unable to see hope.
Just when Cong Xia was almost desperate, a car finally stopped when they waved.There was a young couple in the car. They looked very friendly at first glance. They had a lot of luggage, and the back seat was half stuffed, but there was barely room for them.Cong Xia was almost thankful, and the two quickly got into the car.The space in the back seat is really small, they are crowded one after the other.
The young couple was very kind and enthusiastic, and asked, "Where are you going?"
"We want to go to the airport."
The young man was surprised and said, "Why are you still going to the airport? All the planes have been grounded, and now the traffic is basically paralyzed, and you can't fly with any money."
Cong Xia had no choice but to say: "I have a relative there, I'm going to find him."
"Oh, if you find it, let's go quickly. We are going to Guiyang, which is my wife's natal home. I can't stay here any longer. I wonder if it will be better there."
His wife sighed: "I'm afraid that everything has changed."
He grabbed his wife's hand: "It's okay, even if it's really the end of the world, let's go back and die with our family."
Cong Xia was very envious of the deep affection between the two.
Thinking that I have lived for 26 years without even holding a girl's hand, and I am catching up with the end, I can't help but feel sad.How could he be so unlucky.He has only studied since he was a child. When boys of the same age began to be interested in girls, he was still immersed in his studies, because he had no other specialties, and good grades were the only way for him to get a sense of accomplishment. I never got along with girls since I was a child.After work, he has less contact with people, and he is even more homebound. He spends all his spare time in the virtual world every day.He thought that sooner or later he would find a girlfriend who had a common topic with him, but he didn't expect that even this wish was a luxury. Now let alone a woman, he would be very satisfied if he could have someone by his side.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Cheng Tianbi.Cheng Tianbi's perfect side face flickered in the dim light, this man was like those extremely powerful heroes in comics, taciturn, yet powerful and reliable.In this troubled world, a reliable companion is the most important thing.
Sensing Cong Xia's gaze, Cheng Tianbi slowly turned his face and looked at him coldly.
Cong Xia was a little embarrassed for a while, and he smiled: "Bingge, are you still hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Cheng Tianbi shook his head.
The young man's wife turned her face: "Don't eat if you're hungry, just keep what you can save, I don't know what will happen in the days to come."
Cong Xiaqi said: "Have you prepared the food? Have you considered it? What if the car runs out of gas?"
"The food is enough, just eat less to make it to Chongqing. Oil is our biggest headache. We put a bucket of oil in the trunk. By the way, we can't take you to the airport by detour, we can only send you to the one at the airport." Exit, the rest you go on your own."
"No problem, you have already helped... Be careful!" Cong Xia roared, her heart in her throat.
The four of them stared wide-eyed, watching a black shadow rushing by in front of them, and Cheng Tianbi followed closely and shouted: "Don't turn in the direction..."
But it was too late. The young husband had no experience in emergency accidents. When the speed of the car was as high as 130 mph, in order to avoid the unknown things ahead, his body had already responded before the brain issued an order. Turning the steering wheel, the small car with a lot of luggage and four people was like a fragile toy, rolled over uncontrollably, and slid out of control for several meters, until it hit the guardrail on the other side and stopped .
The huge impact made Cong Xia lose his mind in an instant. Before he passed out, he only felt Cheng Tianbi tightly protecting him.
Cong Xia opened his eyes, his whole body was in pain as if he had been torn apart, even lifting his fingers seemed to require great willpower.His body couldn't move, as if he was being pressed by something.Painful groans came from his throat, and in the next second, something warm covered his mouth.
"Shh."
An extremely low voice rang in his ears, Cong Xia reluctantly opened his eyes, and saw a pair of deep and bright eyes in the darkness, they were a pair of very unforgettable eyes, narrow and beautiful, he recognized these eyes, they were It's forever.
The memory of the car accident before he fell into a coma instantly came back to his mind. Even though his body was in pain, he could still think. It seemed that he was not dead yet. He forced his eyes wide open and wanted to ask how Cheng Tianbi was doing, but he soon found out that The weirdness of the surrounding environment.He heard a... chewing sound.That's right, tearing flesh, gnawing bones, and swallowing blood, he couldn't hear the sound of animals eating.
Cong Xia was trembling all over, and turned her head slowly. Under the moonlight, the deformed car door was pushed out, and several tall, strong, four-legged animals were two or three meters away from them, tearing at the kind-hearted couple. The bodies of the young couple, and those two people were obviously dead, and there was no reaction.Cong Xia's eyes were sour and he closed them.
Cheng Tianbi pressed his mouth tightly, for fear that he would make a sound.The two of them huddled in the innermost part of the car, and the deformed seats blocked their bodies. Maybe those huge monsters found it difficult to drag them out, so they could live until now, but those monsters must know that they were inside , Animals have a very keen sense of smell, how could they give up on them.If they couldn't save themselves, sooner or later they would be eaten to the bone by those beasts.
Cong Xia asked Cheng Tianbi with his eyes, what should they do, the sweat from Cheng Tianbi's chin dripped onto his face, and he could feel how much tension was contained in the cool sweat.In the quiet night, the two were forced to listen carefully and clearly to the terrifying sound of their own kind being torn apart and devoured. Thinking that it would be their turn next, that kind of huge psychological pressure was beyond the reach of ordinary people. .
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of chewing stopped, and Cong Xia stared wide-eyed, watching a monster slowly turn its head, its green eyes faintly looking in their direction.Cong Xia recognized what it was. The monster with a swollen face and tangled muscles was a Rottweiler. This kind of dog is already scary enough when it grows to two meters in size. People are creepy.
Cong Xia had only one thought at the time, he wished that he had died in a car accident just now.
A Rottweiler walked over slowly, its thick foot pads made its steps silent, but its heavy panting sound with the smell of blood was particularly creepy in the dark night.
The two of them didn't dare to move, they tried their best to shrink to the back seat of the car, but they knew that this movement was futile, the Rottweiler had already spotted them, its huge head stuck into the car, its green eyes were greedily staring at the car. They, it bared its teeth slightly, the fangs as long as human fingers looked ferocious and terrifying, and saliva mixed with blood flowed from the corner of its mouth.
Cong Xia didn't dare to look at it, and closed his eyes tightly, while Cheng Tianbi stared at it fiercely, without any retreat in momentum, he held the saber tightly in his hand, and observed the monster's movements without blinking. , the two sides competed with each other, and neither of them took the lead.
Cheng Tianbi is a sniper in the special forces.His character is indeed suitable to be a sniper. The more critical he is, the more calm he can be. The skills of a sniper are fed by bullets, but the willpower is forged by strong endurance.
They just stared at each other for a long time, and Rottweiler, who was ready to go, lost his patience and rushed in suddenly, trying to bite Cheng Tianbi's shoulder and drag them out of the car.Cheng Tianbi had been prepared for a long time, and the jungle king saber in his hand pierced Rottweiler's eyes fiercely.
A high-pitched howl of pain sounded, and Rottweiler overturned in the car, writhing and rolling wildly in the narrow space.The three vicious dogs outside the car also jumped on the car. They first hit the car body and tried to turn the car over, but because of the heavy load inside the car, they couldn't push it. His teeth were tearing at the iron sheet.The two watched the finger-long teeth sink into the wagon. Even though the cracked iron sheet scraped their mouths with blood, they didn't stop, but became even crazier.
When a Rottweiler's head tried to get in through the gap in the cracked wagon, Cheng Tianbi punched its nose.The fist with the strong wind slammed on the most vulnerable nose of the dog, making the Rottweiler howl loudly.The violent shaking of the car body and the biting of the canine teeth made it impossible for the two of them to hide in the car. They could only crawl out in embarrassment. Cheng Tianbi took out his pistol and shot at the remaining two dogs.But the two dogs were so agile that they missed one, but the sound of the gun stopped their attack.
Cheng Tianbi pointed a gun at them, and pulled Cong Xia back down the highway. After four or five meters, he found a dog on the side of the road, but it was the size of an ordinary Rottweiler that had not evolved. It's still mother's.Since there is no light on the road and the visibility is extremely low, if you don't walk around, you can't find another one here.It's just that the bitch didn't attack them. Instead, it let out a hoarse hiss in horror, and stepped back step by step, as if protecting something behind it.As Cheng Tianbi approached the bitch, several male dogs barked crazily and rushed towards them recklessly.Cheng Tianbi pointed the gun at the bitch, and the bitch cowered, although she looked terrified, she did not back down.
The three male dogs kept barking three meters away from them, but they dared not approach them.
Cong Xia said tremblingly: "Behind that bitch is her cub, this dog just gave birth."
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "Go to the car now, take out my backpack, and throw your backpack to them."
Cong Xia shivered violently, didn't say no, but didn't move.
"Go." Cheng Tianbi pushed him.
Cong Xia clenched her fists, resisting the great fear, and walked towards the broken car step by step. The three dogs looked at him faintly. Under the staring eyes, Cong Xia's legs stopped. Shaking uncontrollably.Eventually, he made it safely to the car, rolled over the dead Rottweiler, and pulled their backpacks out of the back seat, throwing his full backpack far away. , holding Cheng Tianbi's bag in his arms, and quickly ran back to Cheng Tianbi's side.For the first time, he knew that Cheng Tianbi's bag was so heavy.
The two backed away step by step, and when they passed the bitch, they saw a litter of bloody puppies. Could it be that the bitch gave birth on the highway?
The dogs kept staring at them until the two of them crossed the guardrail of the expressway, half-submerged in the weeds, grabbed Cong Xia's hand and ran wildly.Cong Xia had never felt that he was running so fast. He felt his body was very light, and there seemed to be no resistance in front of him. Instead, there was a gust of wind hovering under their feet, giving them a boost. Did not feel strenuous.The three dogs caught up as expected, and the two ran wildly, and finally their entire bodies were submerged in the weeds as tall as a person.Although the dogs knew where they were, it was not easy to catch up due to the complex terrain and obstructed sightlines. The two men and three dogs were chasing desperately in the grass where they could not see the edge.
The two of them didn't know how far they ran, they couldn't see the road under their feet, and they couldn't see the road ahead. A circle will also run back to the original place.Gradually, Cong Xia's physical strength began to be unable to keep up, and the sound of barking behind her was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the two of them lost their weight in an instant, and rolled down uncontrollably.
"Ahh—" Cong Xia yelled in horror.
In the next second, the two of them fell to the ground together. Although there was thick weeds under their bodies, they still fell with stars in their eyes.Cong Xia had just experienced a car accident and then experienced a free fall. His bones were almost falling apart, and he lay on the ground unable to move.
Cheng Tianbi jumped up from the ground, raised his gun vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Where's my backpack? There's a flashlight in it."
"Backpack..." Cong Xia groped on the ground for a long time, finally found the backpack, and Cheng Tianbi hurried over to take out the flashlight.
As soon as the strong flashlight was turned on, the surrounding environment instantly became clear.
The place they were in was really like a cave, surrounded by weeds. They rolled down the haystack, and the distance from the ground was at least three stories high. If it weren't for the thick vegetation below, they would have fallen stupid.At a distance of nearly ten meters, they couldn't climb up.However, how could there be caves under the highway?
The sound of dog barking rang overhead for a while and then disappeared. It seemed that the rottweilers finally gave up.
Cheng Tianbi circled around and asserted: "It's an abandoned sewage pipe." The inner wall of the pipe has been covered by vegetation, and the original appearance cannot be seen at all.
"How do we get out?"
Cheng Tianbi looked up and said, "I can't climb up, I can only walk in."
Cong Xia glanced at the depths of the dark pipe and swallowed nervously.Who knows what else is waiting for them inside, he didn't want to go inside even a step.
Cheng Tianbi began to fully arm himself.He stuffed two sabers and two pistols on his body, and assembled a 56 submachine gun and hung it on his chest.In Cong Xia's eyes, it seemed as if they were about to go to the battlefield, but the situation they faced was not much better than the battlefield.
Cong Xia said: "We should at least wait until dawn before leaving. The underground sewage pipes may be several kilometers long, and the ground has been covered by vegetation. We may go in and never come out again. Why don't we wait until dawn when the light is good?" Think of ways to."
"After dawn, the visibility here is only [-] meters. If you go further in, it's still pitch black. Is there a difference?"
Cong Xia was momentarily at a loss for words, he was just afraid and didn't want to go in.
Cheng Tianbi saw through his thoughts, pulled up the strap of his backpack and handed it to Cong Xia: "Pull it, pay attention to your feet."
Cong Xia looked at his indifferent face in the dim light, and felt warm in his heart. Even though they had known each other for less than a day, they had already experienced two life-and-death challenges. This man seemed unreasonable, But never gave up on him.Perhaps in Cheng Tianbi's heart, he only regarded him as the task object, but he regarded Cheng Tianbi as a life-and-death friend.He patted Cheng Tianbi's shoulder, and exhaled heavily: "Even if we die, we can be a companion on Huangquan Road, I listen to you, let's go." After speaking, he grabbed the strap of Cheng Tianbi's backpack, The two of them walked into the dark, vegetation-covered sewage pipe.
The inside of the pipeline was pitch black, and the light from the flashlight gave them only seven or eight meters of visibility, and most of the light was swallowed up by the suffocating darkness.
The weeds under his feet were creaking, and the insects in the grass were singing one after another. Cong Xia hadn’t heard a sound so close to nature for a long time. His audiovisual was polluted by all kinds of noise made by humans. do not adapt.No, it's more than just being unsuitable. The sewage pipes that can't be seen with your fingers are like an underground cave covered by vegetation. You don't know where it will lead, and you don't know what unknown things are waiting for them ahead. Fear made Cong Xia feel difficult to breathe.In order to relieve his tension, he could only desperately talk to Cheng Tianbi: "Bing brother, let's talk. Hey, how old are you? Twenty? 23? Bing brother, aren't you afraid? Are you hungry? We gave all our food to the dogs, what are we going to eat next, why don't we eat some weeds." Cong Xia was hungry now, thinking of the unfinished pot of monkey meat at noon, he couldn't help swallowing.
Cheng Tianbi is actually much hungrier than him. Since he realized the changes in his body during the day, he has been in a state of hunger, but he has never had time to eat to his full, and now there is nothing left.However, the evolution of animals and plants is so fast, who knows if these grasses have evolved toxins and cannot be eaten indiscriminately, he said: "Forbearance, let's talk about it after getting out of here."
"I'm afraid you're hungry. You're the only fighting force. You must maintain your strength."
Cheng Tianbi said lightly: "I'm not hungry enough to eat grass, speed up, leave here and find a way to find food."
Cong Xia sighed, once again frustrated by his uselessness, he couldn't even get some decent food for his friend who had saved him twice.
The two of them continued to go deeper and walked almost three kilometers, but they still didn't see any exit. However, Cong Xia noticed that the weeds under their feet had decreased, replaced by spore plants, and the air was filled with a stuffy smell. , making people feel that breathing has become viscous.The road under his feet is getting more and more difficult to walk, the wet moss and mushrooms are very slippery, and every step he takes feels like stepping on some kind of slime.Cong Xia accidentally slipped and sat down on the ground. When his hands touched the wet and sticky plants on the ground, he felt unspeakably sick.
Cheng Tianbi pulled him up: "Pay attention to your step."
Cong Xia desperately wiped her hands on her trousers, and said disgustedly: "It's so disgusting, it's sticky."
Cheng Tianbi took a flashlight and shone it around, and the place he could see was covered with mushrooms of various colors and sizes, densely packed, making it very uncomfortable to see.
Cong Xia swallowed, and subconsciously grabbed the strap of Cheng Tianbi's marching bag.
Cheng Tianbi frowned: "Let go."
Cong Xia held onto it tightly, almost crying: "This place is too scary, I can't go any further."
Cheng Tianbi frowned.
Cong Xia had no doubts at all, if he was alone in such a weird place, he would definitely go crazy within 5 minutes.Cheng Tianbi is his life-saving straw, he can't wait to stick himself to Cheng Tianbi with tape.
If it wasn't for the wrong location, Cheng Tianbi really wanted to knock Cong Xia unconscious.He feels helpless and annoyed by Cong Xia's weakness, but as long as he is not dead, as long as he is still wearing this military uniform, he cannot easily give up his mission. Xia took it back to Beijing.Cheng Tianbi had no choice but to let Cong Xia hold his hand, which would also prevent the two of them from slipping.The palms of the two intertwined were sweating quickly, and Cong Xia's inner tension made him hold it tighter and tighter, for fear of losing his only psychological support.
The road under their feet became more and more slippery, and the two of them had to try to stabilize their bodies almost after taking three steps. Even so, they fell down several times. It didn't hurt to fall on the slippery spore plants, but it was disgusting.In fact, most of those mushrooms are very gorgeous. It is hard to imagine that there are such gorgeous and colorful plants in this place where there is no sunlight, but the more colorful the plants are, the more poisonous they are. Cong Xia restrained her curiosity and tried to avoid those beautiful mushrooms.
After walking like this for more than an hour, both of them were sweating profusely, and the progress on the spore plants was less than three kilometers, which was more tiring than walking ten kilometers on flat ground.
Gradually, they found a faint blue light in front of them, which was probably an exit, and both of them got up their spirits and walked towards the direction of the light source.After walking for another half an hour, the faint blue halo became bigger and bigger. When they turned around a hole, the sight suddenly opened up, and the scene they entered shocked them.
It was an extremely wide cave with a diameter of [-] meters. The walls of the cave were covered with mushrooms of various colors, some were bright, some were plain, and some even glowed. The most striking thing was the cave In the center is the huge, transparent mushroom that emits light blue light.
The mushroom was three stories high, with a chunky rhizome more than ten meters thick. The mushroom umbrella was bowl-shaped and planted upside down on the root stem. The diameter of the mushroom umbrella was estimated to be 40 meters.This huge mushroom is transparent as a whole, and its skin is covered with tiny blue veins visible to the naked eye, just like its capillaries, densely packed and criss-crossing. Moreover, those veins not only grow on itself, but also grow from it. Its body spread to the ground, and even extended to the entire cave. All the creatures in the cave seemed to be in its net.And in the center of the mushroom umbrella, there is a dark green luminous body, but I can't see what it is, but it seems that all the veins are stretched out from there.This huge mushroom swayed gently in the cave, as if listening to a lullaby and humming softly. Its transparent body, blue glowing meridians, and incomparably huge body make it look like a monster. Beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, this scene only made the two humans present shudder.
What kind of mushroom is this, how can it grow so big? !Cong Xia roared inwardly.He regretted that he didn't learn more about spore plants at the beginning, maybe it can still come in handy now.
Cheng Tianbi took a step back and said in a low voice, "Let's go back to the fork in the road just now and bypass it."
For the first time, Cong Xia heard a trace of nervousness from Cheng Tianbi's tone.
The two deadly threats they encountered today, although extremely dangerous, were creatures they knew and were familiar with, but their size had grown a bit, but their habits and weaknesses had not changed, but the creature in front of them had already surpassed their imagination.In just over 30 hours since the earthquake occurred, the city he thought he was familiar with had quietly bred such a terrifying and unimaginable creature.
The two stepped back carefully step by step, no matter how far they walked, they would not choose to get close to that big mushroom.But just when they took two steps back, there was a sudden vibration under their feet. Immediately afterwards, the ground they stepped on rose sharply. The two of them looked down, and it turned out that they had been stepping on a reddish-brown, the size of a dining table. on the mushrooms, which they always thought were the ground!The mushroom slammed them down to the ground, and the moment they hit the ground, that mushroom "stands up" and throws them onto the next mushroom.Their bodies were covered with greasy slime, they couldn't stand up at all, and they couldn't escape. They could only be relayed to the huge mushroom by the group of terrible mushrooms, and they were turned upside down, holding their guns tightly all day long , shot at the huge mushroom, but the bullet was like a grain of dust, after sinking into the mushroom's body, it quietly disappeared.Cheng Tianbi twisted his waist violently, dodging the push of a mushroom, and slashed through the air with his palm with a strong wind. Following his movement, a white light twisted in the air, and with a crisp snap, the mushroom was hit. He staggered from side to side, curled up his body as if he was suffering from pain, and Cheng Tianbi fell to the ground.But before he could get a firm foothold, the mushroom under his feet suddenly sprang up and joined the ranks of teleporting him.In this way, in just over ten seconds, the two of them were transported to the center of the cave by the group of mushrooms like goods, and finally their bodies were thrown into the air, and then the huge mushroom opened its "mouth", and suddenly swallow them up.
The two fell into the very center of the mushroom umbrella and fell into an ankle-deep pool of slime.The slime had a raw plant smell, and the texture was very disgusting, and it was slippery to the touch. The two of them struggled for a long time before getting up and observing the inside of the mushroom umbrella vigilantly.Seen from the inside, the umbrella flesh of the mushroom is really beautiful. The thick and transparent body is filled with tiny blue veins like nerves. The body of the mushroom is swinging softly, and the blue light of those nerves flickers on and off. , like the stars in the sky, making people mistakenly think that they have entered a magical world, everything is so unreal.
Cong Xia looked down
Cong Xia said: "Let's find a place to sit and find something to eat for you. Don't be hungry. I ate so much meat just now, and I'm not hungry at all. You are so hungry."
Cheng Tianbi was really hungry, and he didn't know why he was so hungry, but he didn't show it, because he heard some noises around him, and he needed to find a safe place to eat.
The two of them walked out of the community and found that there were obviously more pedestrians on the road. It was after five o'clock in the afternoon, just one day after the earthquake in Golmud, and this former civilized society was already in chaos.Just a few hours after they fell asleep, the grocery stores, small supermarkets, and fruit stands on both sides of the street were all in a mess. When passing by, they could still see rotten food and looted shelves inside. The two went in to try their luck. Only two bottles of water were found.
Two cars rushed over from the other side of the street one after the other. The rear car seemed to be chasing the front car. The two cars were moving forward like a dragon. Cheng Tianbi hurriedly dragged Cong Xia aside.
I saw the car in front slammed into a trash can on the side of the road and turned off the engine. Three young and strong men got out of the car behind. When they got up, they kicked and smashed at the door. Box Sealed Cookie Jar.The people in the car in front also rushed down, there were men and women, and the two groups fought in the street over the cans of biscuits.
Cong Xia stared at this scene with wide eyes, and her heart was filled with sadness.
In just one day, most of the things stored without vacuum and refrigeration have gone bad, and food is the biggest crisis facing everyone right now.From the smashed-up shop on the road to the people fighting over a few cans of biscuits, Cong Xia realized how naive he was to find something to eat for Cheng Tianbi.There is no food to be found now, and most people have already started to grab it.He tugged at the sky wall: "Let's go quickly." They still had some food in their backpacks, what if these people fell in love with them after they finished fighting.
Cheng Tianbi looked at the cans of biscuits, his eyes darkened a bit.
Cong Xia urged: "Let's go, let's find a hidden place to eat." When he said this, he lowered the volume to a very low level, for fear that others would hear it.
Cheng Tianbi looked down at the military uniform on his body, then turned his gaze back, and followed Cong Xia away.
The two walked two streets, found a small supermarket that had been ransacked, and hid in it.The goods in the supermarket were scattered all over the floor, looking messy and messy. As Cong Xia walked in, she paid attention to her feet, hoping to pick up some edible things.Although he is not hungry now, he is very anxious when he thinks that Cheng Tianbi is hungry. He already regards Cheng Tianbi as a companion in his heart, and even because of timidity, he has a kind of dependence on Cheng Tianbi. He knows that he wants to go to Beijing to join the second Uncle, you must follow Cheng Tianbi, so as to have a chance of survival.
The two chose a clean corner to sit down. Cong Xia hadn't sat on his buttocks yet, only to hear a scream, and a mouse with a big head jumped over his lap. Cong Xia was startled, and subconsciously Leaning towards Cheng Tianbi.Cheng Tianbi quickly drew out his saber, and stabbed at the mouse, but unfortunately, the mouse was very nimble and disappeared in an instant.Cheng Tianbi withdrew the saber, looking rather regretful.
Cold sweat broke out on Cong Xia's face: "We're not hungry enough to eat rats, are we?"
"It's not here yet, you can see it in three days."
Cong Xia shivered, unable to imagine that one day they would compete to eat mice.
He took out the swollen food bags, and tore open the bags without giving up, but a rancid smell hit his nostrils, and he almost passed out.Cheng Tianbi threw away the broken ones, picked out a bag of good bacon, tore it open, and took a bite, looking really hungry.
Cong Xia found a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and handed it to him: "Don't eat too fast, and this is very salty."
Cheng Tianbi drank his saliva and continued to bite the bacon.The bacon was indeed salty and tasted heavy, but he had no choice at this time. He felt that his stomach was like a bottomless pit, and he urgently needed to replenish food. He was so hungry that he began to panic. It didn't look like he had just eaten a few hours ago. Yes, it looks like I have been hungry for three days.Cong Xia also realized this abnormal situation: "Could it be related to your evolution that you are so hungry?"
Cheng Tianbi said: "It must be related."
He insisted on stuffing a bag of bacon into his stomach, and Tianbi also drank two bottles of water. Although he still felt hungry, he restrained his desire to continue eating///.
Cong Xia kept watching him eat, handed him water, and asked softly when he was done, "Are you full?"
Cheng Tianbi looked at his watch: "We have delayed too much time, let's go."
"You only eat one bag, is that enough? Eat more."
Cheng Tianbi shook his head: "We can't procrastinate any longer, we must hurry to the airport."
Cong Xia sighed: "I hope to have fresh food in Beijing."
Cheng Tianbi didn't speak, but he also hoped to get on the plane and leave here as soon as possible. The two of them set off on the road again with the expectation of fresh food in the capital.
Cong Xia took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "The mobile phone has no signal, the network must be paralyzed, it's over, now we have lost contact with the outside world."
Cheng Tianbi said: "Don't worry about it, go to the airport as soon as possible."
"Now the main road is blocked by cars, but maybe the road will be clear when we leave the city. Let's find a way to get a car then."
Cheng Tianbi nodded: "Leave the city first."
The two of them didn't dare to delay any longer, and kept walking towards the entrance of the expressway. However, the road was not smooth. They kept seeing things being beaten///smashed///robbed///burned, and there were still The special police and the army suppressed it, but the spread of this kind of turmoil///is getting bigger and bigger, and the authorities are already overwhelmed by the huge city.Who can imagine that at this time yesterday, this city was still orderly, safe and clean.But in one day, the weeds that came out of the cracks in the floor tiles covered people's calves, and there were smashed windows and looted shops everywhere.When passing a street, they even saw a group of very large rats biting the body of a homeless man.Normal pedestrians can no longer be seen on the streets, and the whole city is filled with the smell of corruption and despair, a nightmare world.There are more and more people carrying luggage on the road. It seems that many people have the same idea as them and want to escape from the city.
It took them two hours to walk from the city center to the edge of the city. After leaving the main road, the traffic jam was obviously much better. They pried open the door of a car all day long, just like car thieves on TV, rubbing two dozen Firewire, drove the engine.The two got into the car and drove towards the airport.The car didn't have a lot of fuel, and the two gas stations they saw along the way were empty, and the gas outlets were already blocked by dozens of cars waiting to refuel, and those cars were all dead without exception. was discarded.They ran four or five kilometers on the highway, and the car ran out of gas.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Cong Xia was exhausted after walking for a day. He looked at the highway with no villages or shops in front of it, and analyzed: "I think we should stay in the car and rest. When it gets dark , the visibility is too low, and there are weeds as high as a person on both sides of the highway, I don’t know what is hidden inside, and besides, what if the temperature suddenly drops again.”
Cheng Tianbi shook his head and said, "It's still [-] kilometers away from the airport. Let's go down the highway and we'll be there before dawn. The sooner we get to the airport, the more likely we'll leave. We can't waste time here."
"But there's no light at all here. Did you hear the sound coming from the grass on both sides of the highway? I don't know what it is." Cong Xia looked at the weeds taller than people in fear, and they groped in the dark like this On the road, how far can you go?
"If there is really something, it's safe to stay in the car?" Cheng Tianbi got out of the car first, and said forcefully, "Get down."
Cong Xia had no choice but to get out of the car.
Before the sun had completely set, the two of them walked quickly along the straight expressway. Occasionally, one or two cars passed by. They waved, but the car refused to stop. Maybe the car was full, maybe people were panicking at this time , No one cares about others.In short, they went until the sun went down, and the vehicles passing by did not stop.
Cheng Tianbi has been expressionless, but Cong Xia is about to collapse. Hunger, exhaustion, disappointment, and the deepest fear make him feel frightened every step he takes. This endless road makes him also unable to see hope.
Just when Cong Xia was almost desperate, a car finally stopped when they waved.There was a young couple in the car. They looked very friendly at first glance. They had a lot of luggage, and the back seat was half stuffed, but there was barely room for them.Cong Xia was almost thankful, and the two quickly got into the car.The space in the back seat is really small, they are crowded one after the other.
The young couple was very kind and enthusiastic, and asked, "Where are you going?"
"We want to go to the airport."
The young man was surprised and said, "Why are you still going to the airport? All the planes have been grounded, and now the traffic is basically paralyzed, and you can't fly with any money."
Cong Xia had no choice but to say: "I have a relative there, I'm going to find him."
"Oh, if you find it, let's go quickly. We are going to Guiyang, which is my wife's natal home. I can't stay here any longer. I wonder if it will be better there."
His wife sighed: "I'm afraid that everything has changed."
He grabbed his wife's hand: "It's okay, even if it's really the end of the world, let's go back and die with our family."
Cong Xia was very envious of the deep affection between the two.
Thinking that I have lived for 26 years without even holding a girl's hand, and I am catching up with the end, I can't help but feel sad.How could he be so unlucky.He has only studied since he was a child. When boys of the same age began to be interested in girls, he was still immersed in his studies, because he had no other specialties, and good grades were the only way for him to get a sense of accomplishment. I never got along with girls since I was a child.After work, he has less contact with people, and he is even more homebound. He spends all his spare time in the virtual world every day.He thought that sooner or later he would find a girlfriend who had a common topic with him, but he didn't expect that even this wish was a luxury. Now let alone a woman, he would be very satisfied if he could have someone by his side.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Cheng Tianbi.Cheng Tianbi's perfect side face flickered in the dim light, this man was like those extremely powerful heroes in comics, taciturn, yet powerful and reliable.In this troubled world, a reliable companion is the most important thing.
Sensing Cong Xia's gaze, Cheng Tianbi slowly turned his face and looked at him coldly.
Cong Xia was a little embarrassed for a while, and he smiled: "Bingge, are you still hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Cheng Tianbi shook his head.
The young man's wife turned her face: "Don't eat if you're hungry, just keep what you can save, I don't know what will happen in the days to come."
Cong Xiaqi said: "Have you prepared the food? Have you considered it? What if the car runs out of gas?"
"The food is enough, just eat less to make it to Chongqing. Oil is our biggest headache. We put a bucket of oil in the trunk. By the way, we can't take you to the airport by detour, we can only send you to the one at the airport." Exit, the rest you go on your own."
"No problem, you have already helped... Be careful!" Cong Xia roared, her heart in her throat.
The four of them stared wide-eyed, watching a black shadow rushing by in front of them, and Cheng Tianbi followed closely and shouted: "Don't turn in the direction..."
But it was too late. The young husband had no experience in emergency accidents. When the speed of the car was as high as 130 mph, in order to avoid the unknown things ahead, his body had already responded before the brain issued an order. Turning the steering wheel, the small car with a lot of luggage and four people was like a fragile toy, rolled over uncontrollably, and slid out of control for several meters, until it hit the guardrail on the other side and stopped .
The huge impact made Cong Xia lose his mind in an instant. Before he passed out, he only felt Cheng Tianbi tightly protecting him.
Cong Xia opened his eyes, his whole body was in pain as if he had been torn apart, even lifting his fingers seemed to require great willpower.His body couldn't move, as if he was being pressed by something.Painful groans came from his throat, and in the next second, something warm covered his mouth.
"Shh."
An extremely low voice rang in his ears, Cong Xia reluctantly opened his eyes, and saw a pair of deep and bright eyes in the darkness, they were a pair of very unforgettable eyes, narrow and beautiful, he recognized these eyes, they were It's forever.
The memory of the car accident before he fell into a coma instantly came back to his mind. Even though his body was in pain, he could still think. It seemed that he was not dead yet. He forced his eyes wide open and wanted to ask how Cheng Tianbi was doing, but he soon found out that The weirdness of the surrounding environment.He heard a... chewing sound.That's right, tearing flesh, gnawing bones, and swallowing blood, he couldn't hear the sound of animals eating.
Cong Xia was trembling all over, and turned her head slowly. Under the moonlight, the deformed car door was pushed out, and several tall, strong, four-legged animals were two or three meters away from them, tearing at the kind-hearted couple. The bodies of the young couple, and those two people were obviously dead, and there was no reaction.Cong Xia's eyes were sour and he closed them.
Cheng Tianbi pressed his mouth tightly, for fear that he would make a sound.The two of them huddled in the innermost part of the car, and the deformed seats blocked their bodies. Maybe those huge monsters found it difficult to drag them out, so they could live until now, but those monsters must know that they were inside , Animals have a very keen sense of smell, how could they give up on them.If they couldn't save themselves, sooner or later they would be eaten to the bone by those beasts.
Cong Xia asked Cheng Tianbi with his eyes, what should they do, the sweat from Cheng Tianbi's chin dripped onto his face, and he could feel how much tension was contained in the cool sweat.In the quiet night, the two were forced to listen carefully and clearly to the terrifying sound of their own kind being torn apart and devoured. Thinking that it would be their turn next, that kind of huge psychological pressure was beyond the reach of ordinary people. .
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of chewing stopped, and Cong Xia stared wide-eyed, watching a monster slowly turn its head, its green eyes faintly looking in their direction.Cong Xia recognized what it was. The monster with a swollen face and tangled muscles was a Rottweiler. This kind of dog is already scary enough when it grows to two meters in size. People are creepy.
Cong Xia had only one thought at the time, he wished that he had died in a car accident just now.
A Rottweiler walked over slowly, its thick foot pads made its steps silent, but its heavy panting sound with the smell of blood was particularly creepy in the dark night.
The two of them didn't dare to move, they tried their best to shrink to the back seat of the car, but they knew that this movement was futile, the Rottweiler had already spotted them, its huge head stuck into the car, its green eyes were greedily staring at the car. They, it bared its teeth slightly, the fangs as long as human fingers looked ferocious and terrifying, and saliva mixed with blood flowed from the corner of its mouth.
Cong Xia didn't dare to look at it, and closed his eyes tightly, while Cheng Tianbi stared at it fiercely, without any retreat in momentum, he held the saber tightly in his hand, and observed the monster's movements without blinking. , the two sides competed with each other, and neither of them took the lead.
Cheng Tianbi is a sniper in the special forces.His character is indeed suitable to be a sniper. The more critical he is, the more calm he can be. The skills of a sniper are fed by bullets, but the willpower is forged by strong endurance.
They just stared at each other for a long time, and Rottweiler, who was ready to go, lost his patience and rushed in suddenly, trying to bite Cheng Tianbi's shoulder and drag them out of the car.Cheng Tianbi had been prepared for a long time, and the jungle king saber in his hand pierced Rottweiler's eyes fiercely.
A high-pitched howl of pain sounded, and Rottweiler overturned in the car, writhing and rolling wildly in the narrow space.The three vicious dogs outside the car also jumped on the car. They first hit the car body and tried to turn the car over, but because of the heavy load inside the car, they couldn't push it. His teeth were tearing at the iron sheet.The two watched the finger-long teeth sink into the wagon. Even though the cracked iron sheet scraped their mouths with blood, they didn't stop, but became even crazier.
When a Rottweiler's head tried to get in through the gap in the cracked wagon, Cheng Tianbi punched its nose.The fist with the strong wind slammed on the most vulnerable nose of the dog, making the Rottweiler howl loudly.The violent shaking of the car body and the biting of the canine teeth made it impossible for the two of them to hide in the car. They could only crawl out in embarrassment. Cheng Tianbi took out his pistol and shot at the remaining two dogs.But the two dogs were so agile that they missed one, but the sound of the gun stopped their attack.
Cheng Tianbi pointed a gun at them, and pulled Cong Xia back down the highway. After four or five meters, he found a dog on the side of the road, but it was the size of an ordinary Rottweiler that had not evolved. It's still mother's.Since there is no light on the road and the visibility is extremely low, if you don't walk around, you can't find another one here.It's just that the bitch didn't attack them. Instead, it let out a hoarse hiss in horror, and stepped back step by step, as if protecting something behind it.As Cheng Tianbi approached the bitch, several male dogs barked crazily and rushed towards them recklessly.Cheng Tianbi pointed the gun at the bitch, and the bitch cowered, although she looked terrified, she did not back down.
The three male dogs kept barking three meters away from them, but they dared not approach them.
Cong Xia said tremblingly: "Behind that bitch is her cub, this dog just gave birth."
Cheng Tianbi said in a deep voice: "Go to the car now, take out my backpack, and throw your backpack to them."
Cong Xia shivered violently, didn't say no, but didn't move.
"Go." Cheng Tianbi pushed him.
Cong Xia clenched her fists, resisting the great fear, and walked towards the broken car step by step. The three dogs looked at him faintly. Under the staring eyes, Cong Xia's legs stopped. Shaking uncontrollably.Eventually, he made it safely to the car, rolled over the dead Rottweiler, and pulled their backpacks out of the back seat, throwing his full backpack far away. , holding Cheng Tianbi's bag in his arms, and quickly ran back to Cheng Tianbi's side.For the first time, he knew that Cheng Tianbi's bag was so heavy.
The two backed away step by step, and when they passed the bitch, they saw a litter of bloody puppies. Could it be that the bitch gave birth on the highway?
The dogs kept staring at them until the two of them crossed the guardrail of the expressway, half-submerged in the weeds, grabbed Cong Xia's hand and ran wildly.Cong Xia had never felt that he was running so fast. He felt his body was very light, and there seemed to be no resistance in front of him. Instead, there was a gust of wind hovering under their feet, giving them a boost. Did not feel strenuous.The three dogs caught up as expected, and the two ran wildly, and finally their entire bodies were submerged in the weeds as tall as a person.Although the dogs knew where they were, it was not easy to catch up due to the complex terrain and obstructed sightlines. The two men and three dogs were chasing desperately in the grass where they could not see the edge.
The two of them didn't know how far they ran, they couldn't see the road under their feet, and they couldn't see the road ahead. A circle will also run back to the original place.Gradually, Cong Xia's physical strength began to be unable to keep up, and the sound of barking behind her was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the two of them lost their weight in an instant, and rolled down uncontrollably.
"Ahh—" Cong Xia yelled in horror.
In the next second, the two of them fell to the ground together. Although there was thick weeds under their bodies, they still fell with stars in their eyes.Cong Xia had just experienced a car accident and then experienced a free fall. His bones were almost falling apart, and he lay on the ground unable to move.
Cheng Tianbi jumped up from the ground, raised his gun vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Where's my backpack? There's a flashlight in it."
"Backpack..." Cong Xia groped on the ground for a long time, finally found the backpack, and Cheng Tianbi hurried over to take out the flashlight.
As soon as the strong flashlight was turned on, the surrounding environment instantly became clear.
The place they were in was really like a cave, surrounded by weeds. They rolled down the haystack, and the distance from the ground was at least three stories high. If it weren't for the thick vegetation below, they would have fallen stupid.At a distance of nearly ten meters, they couldn't climb up.However, how could there be caves under the highway?
The sound of dog barking rang overhead for a while and then disappeared. It seemed that the rottweilers finally gave up.
Cheng Tianbi circled around and asserted: "It's an abandoned sewage pipe." The inner wall of the pipe has been covered by vegetation, and the original appearance cannot be seen at all.
"How do we get out?"
Cheng Tianbi looked up and said, "I can't climb up, I can only walk in."
Cong Xia glanced at the depths of the dark pipe and swallowed nervously.Who knows what else is waiting for them inside, he didn't want to go inside even a step.
Cheng Tianbi began to fully arm himself.He stuffed two sabers and two pistols on his body, and assembled a 56 submachine gun and hung it on his chest.In Cong Xia's eyes, it seemed as if they were about to go to the battlefield, but the situation they faced was not much better than the battlefield.
Cong Xia said: "We should at least wait until dawn before leaving. The underground sewage pipes may be several kilometers long, and the ground has been covered by vegetation. We may go in and never come out again. Why don't we wait until dawn when the light is good?" Think of ways to."
"After dawn, the visibility here is only [-] meters. If you go further in, it's still pitch black. Is there a difference?"
Cong Xia was momentarily at a loss for words, he was just afraid and didn't want to go in.
Cheng Tianbi saw through his thoughts, pulled up the strap of his backpack and handed it to Cong Xia: "Pull it, pay attention to your feet."
Cong Xia looked at his indifferent face in the dim light, and felt warm in his heart. Even though they had known each other for less than a day, they had already experienced two life-and-death challenges. This man seemed unreasonable, But never gave up on him.Perhaps in Cheng Tianbi's heart, he only regarded him as the task object, but he regarded Cheng Tianbi as a life-and-death friend.He patted Cheng Tianbi's shoulder, and exhaled heavily: "Even if we die, we can be a companion on Huangquan Road, I listen to you, let's go." After speaking, he grabbed the strap of Cheng Tianbi's backpack, The two of them walked into the dark, vegetation-covered sewage pipe.
The inside of the pipeline was pitch black, and the light from the flashlight gave them only seven or eight meters of visibility, and most of the light was swallowed up by the suffocating darkness.
The weeds under his feet were creaking, and the insects in the grass were singing one after another. Cong Xia hadn’t heard a sound so close to nature for a long time. His audiovisual was polluted by all kinds of noise made by humans. do not adapt.No, it's more than just being unsuitable. The sewage pipes that can't be seen with your fingers are like an underground cave covered by vegetation. You don't know where it will lead, and you don't know what unknown things are waiting for them ahead. Fear made Cong Xia feel difficult to breathe.In order to relieve his tension, he could only desperately talk to Cheng Tianbi: "Bing brother, let's talk. Hey, how old are you? Twenty? 23? Bing brother, aren't you afraid? Are you hungry? We gave all our food to the dogs, what are we going to eat next, why don't we eat some weeds." Cong Xia was hungry now, thinking of the unfinished pot of monkey meat at noon, he couldn't help swallowing.
Cheng Tianbi is actually much hungrier than him. Since he realized the changes in his body during the day, he has been in a state of hunger, but he has never had time to eat to his full, and now there is nothing left.However, the evolution of animals and plants is so fast, who knows if these grasses have evolved toxins and cannot be eaten indiscriminately, he said: "Forbearance, let's talk about it after getting out of here."
"I'm afraid you're hungry. You're the only fighting force. You must maintain your strength."
Cheng Tianbi said lightly: "I'm not hungry enough to eat grass, speed up, leave here and find a way to find food."
Cong Xia sighed, once again frustrated by his uselessness, he couldn't even get some decent food for his friend who had saved him twice.
The two of them continued to go deeper and walked almost three kilometers, but they still didn't see any exit. However, Cong Xia noticed that the weeds under their feet had decreased, replaced by spore plants, and the air was filled with a stuffy smell. , making people feel that breathing has become viscous.The road under his feet is getting more and more difficult to walk, the wet moss and mushrooms are very slippery, and every step he takes feels like stepping on some kind of slime.Cong Xia accidentally slipped and sat down on the ground. When his hands touched the wet and sticky plants on the ground, he felt unspeakably sick.
Cheng Tianbi pulled him up: "Pay attention to your step."
Cong Xia desperately wiped her hands on her trousers, and said disgustedly: "It's so disgusting, it's sticky."
Cheng Tianbi took a flashlight and shone it around, and the place he could see was covered with mushrooms of various colors and sizes, densely packed, making it very uncomfortable to see.
Cong Xia swallowed, and subconsciously grabbed the strap of Cheng Tianbi's marching bag.
Cheng Tianbi frowned: "Let go."
Cong Xia held onto it tightly, almost crying: "This place is too scary, I can't go any further."
Cheng Tianbi frowned.
Cong Xia had no doubts at all, if he was alone in such a weird place, he would definitely go crazy within 5 minutes.Cheng Tianbi is his life-saving straw, he can't wait to stick himself to Cheng Tianbi with tape.
If it wasn't for the wrong location, Cheng Tianbi really wanted to knock Cong Xia unconscious.He feels helpless and annoyed by Cong Xia's weakness, but as long as he is not dead, as long as he is still wearing this military uniform, he cannot easily give up his mission. Xia took it back to Beijing.Cheng Tianbi had no choice but to let Cong Xia hold his hand, which would also prevent the two of them from slipping.The palms of the two intertwined were sweating quickly, and Cong Xia's inner tension made him hold it tighter and tighter, for fear of losing his only psychological support.
The road under their feet became more and more slippery, and the two of them had to try to stabilize their bodies almost after taking three steps. Even so, they fell down several times. It didn't hurt to fall on the slippery spore plants, but it was disgusting.In fact, most of those mushrooms are very gorgeous. It is hard to imagine that there are such gorgeous and colorful plants in this place where there is no sunlight, but the more colorful the plants are, the more poisonous they are. Cong Xia restrained her curiosity and tried to avoid those beautiful mushrooms.
After walking like this for more than an hour, both of them were sweating profusely, and the progress on the spore plants was less than three kilometers, which was more tiring than walking ten kilometers on flat ground.
Gradually, they found a faint blue light in front of them, which was probably an exit, and both of them got up their spirits and walked towards the direction of the light source.After walking for another half an hour, the faint blue halo became bigger and bigger. When they turned around a hole, the sight suddenly opened up, and the scene they entered shocked them.
It was an extremely wide cave with a diameter of [-] meters. The walls of the cave were covered with mushrooms of various colors, some were bright, some were plain, and some even glowed. The most striking thing was the cave In the center is the huge, transparent mushroom that emits light blue light.
The mushroom was three stories high, with a chunky rhizome more than ten meters thick. The mushroom umbrella was bowl-shaped and planted upside down on the root stem. The diameter of the mushroom umbrella was estimated to be 40 meters.This huge mushroom is transparent as a whole, and its skin is covered with tiny blue veins visible to the naked eye, just like its capillaries, densely packed and criss-crossing. Moreover, those veins not only grow on itself, but also grow from it. Its body spread to the ground, and even extended to the entire cave. All the creatures in the cave seemed to be in its net.And in the center of the mushroom umbrella, there is a dark green luminous body, but I can't see what it is, but it seems that all the veins are stretched out from there.This huge mushroom swayed gently in the cave, as if listening to a lullaby and humming softly. Its transparent body, blue glowing meridians, and incomparably huge body make it look like a monster. Beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, this scene only made the two humans present shudder.
What kind of mushroom is this, how can it grow so big? !Cong Xia roared inwardly.He regretted that he didn't learn more about spore plants at the beginning, maybe it can still come in handy now.
Cheng Tianbi took a step back and said in a low voice, "Let's go back to the fork in the road just now and bypass it."
For the first time, Cong Xia heard a trace of nervousness from Cheng Tianbi's tone.
The two deadly threats they encountered today, although extremely dangerous, were creatures they knew and were familiar with, but their size had grown a bit, but their habits and weaknesses had not changed, but the creature in front of them had already surpassed their imagination.In just over 30 hours since the earthquake occurred, the city he thought he was familiar with had quietly bred such a terrifying and unimaginable creature.
The two stepped back carefully step by step, no matter how far they walked, they would not choose to get close to that big mushroom.But just when they took two steps back, there was a sudden vibration under their feet. Immediately afterwards, the ground they stepped on rose sharply. The two of them looked down, and it turned out that they had been stepping on a reddish-brown, the size of a dining table. on the mushrooms, which they always thought were the ground!The mushroom slammed them down to the ground, and the moment they hit the ground, that mushroom "stands up" and throws them onto the next mushroom.Their bodies were covered with greasy slime, they couldn't stand up at all, and they couldn't escape. They could only be relayed to the huge mushroom by the group of terrible mushrooms, and they were turned upside down, holding their guns tightly all day long , shot at the huge mushroom, but the bullet was like a grain of dust, after sinking into the mushroom's body, it quietly disappeared.Cheng Tianbi twisted his waist violently, dodging the push of a mushroom, and slashed through the air with his palm with a strong wind. Following his movement, a white light twisted in the air, and with a crisp snap, the mushroom was hit. He staggered from side to side, curled up his body as if he was suffering from pain, and Cheng Tianbi fell to the ground.But before he could get a firm foothold, the mushroom under his feet suddenly sprang up and joined the ranks of teleporting him.In this way, in just over ten seconds, the two of them were transported to the center of the cave by the group of mushrooms like goods, and finally their bodies were thrown into the air, and then the huge mushroom opened its "mouth", and suddenly swallow them up.
The two fell into the very center of the mushroom umbrella and fell into an ankle-deep pool of slime.The slime had a raw plant smell, and the texture was very disgusting, and it was slippery to the touch. The two of them struggled for a long time before getting up and observing the inside of the mushroom umbrella vigilantly.Seen from the inside, the umbrella flesh of the mushroom is really beautiful. The thick and transparent body is filled with tiny blue veins like nerves. The body of the mushroom is swinging softly, and the blue light of those nerves flickers on and off. , like the stars in the sky, making people mistakenly think that they have entered a magical world, everything is so unreal.
