monster he just wants to be a good guy

I will go.

In the darkness, Lu Man stood face to face with the monster. He didn't intend to fight the monster here.

After all, he could sense that there were many people hiding in hidden corners around him—in the cabinet, under the table, or even behind the curtains.

The monster walked towards Lu Man shaking his head, the smell of wind almost hit his face, the original loose skin folds were flattened, and the mole next to Director Wang's nose was also expanded several times, Lu Man Without trembling his eyelashes, he knew that the monster hadn't found him, but was just patrolling around based on a suspicion.

He held his breath, quietly waiting for the monster to leave.

Sure enough, after a while, the monster didn't catch the sound, and turned around again, dragging its feet and walking in the opposite direction.

It was only then that Lu Man noticed that there happened to be an undamaged table on the track of the monster, and a human hand shrank into it tremblingly under the table.

He squatted down and picked up a broken table leg, and threw it to the other side.

Clang—the table legs made a crisp sound, as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake.

In the next second, the monster precisely rushed towards the direction where the wooden block fell, leaving the wreckage of tables and chairs on the ground.

Seeing this scene, everyone who was still hiding did not dare to vent their anger.

Meng Yongtao, who was hiding under the table, was relieved to see the monster's feet away from him through the crack of the table, and his palms covering his mouth were cold.

Half a day had passed since the monster ran out. As guards, they were ordered by their superiors to stay behind to delay the monster's attack.But in the indoor space, without the support of large weapons, guns alone cannot resist the fierce attacks of monsters.

Meng Yongtao knew that he was invincible, so he took advantage of the chaos and hid under the table.

He had worked as a scout in the cruel wilderness for more than ten years, and being alone when danger came was the way to save his life that he had realized over the years.After living for such a long time, he has already lost his face and skin.There is no shame in being a deserter, and nothing is really lost when you die.

He quietly watched his former companions run out of bullets, were driven to a dead end, and died one by one under the claws of monsters.

However, some people were lucky and ran to the "escape passage" that their superiors promised to leave for them.

Meng Yongtao's heart sank, and he looked around, only deserters like him, and idlers who were dispensable to Jiguang.Other Aurora high-level and core personnel have been evacuated long ago.

Ha, he should have thought of that earlier.Meng Yongtao even has a sense of absurdity of "it really is".

After all, Aurora is not the only base, and important information is also backed up and archived, so if you lose it, you will lose it.Even Meng Yongtao couldn't figure out how many bases Aurora had.He only knew that near the monster cave, the aurora was like a shadow.

They became abandoned children, and together with the entire temporary base, they were abandoned here.

Just when he was in despair, a familiar voice suddenly came from the base radio:

"Attention those still present, the monster is extremely sensitive to sound, please find a cover to hide."

He recognized...it was Lin Yao's voice.It seems that Jiguang's high-level executives have not finished walking, and he is still in the broadcasting room.

"Try to concentrate in the direction of the hall, don't make a sound, wait—"

Before he finished speaking, the power was cut off with a click, and the whole world went dark.

They hid for a long time after that.

Apart from himself, Meng Yongtao checked visually, and there were probably a dozen other people hiding here like him.

But there are always monsters wandering in the hall, and they can't wait for an opportunity to escape.And the iron gate of the base, which has lost power to support its opening and closing, has also become a heavy tombstone on the tomb.

Until someone violently opened the door and broke in.

He looked in that direction, and seemed to see a pair of human feet in the distance, wearing shoes, standing motionless in the same place.

The monster suddenly turned around just now, did this person from outside help him out?Is it Aurora?still……

The monster lost its direction and was spinning around like a headless chicken.

In this extreme silence, Meng Yongtao suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound from his abdomen.

He has been hiding here for most of the day without being able to eat, his empty intestines are wriggling, and he is protesting hunger.

Oops... why is it just at this time!

Through the gap, he saw the monster's limbs on the ground, approaching rapidly towards him.

Meng Yongtao was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out from the other side of the table. The table where he was hiding had already been torn to pieces by the monster.

The monster failed to catch its prey this time, roaring on the spot, swinging its powerful arms around.

Meng Yongtao took out the gun in his arms, which still had the last bullet in it. He aimed it in the direction of the monster, and lightly pressed his finger on the trigger, trembling uncontrollably.

No, monsters cannot be killed by bullets.Pressing against the wall behind him, he had nowhere to retreat.

The monster's sharp claws whipped up a gust of wind and blew towards him. He only felt his cheeks tingle, and his eyes almost couldn't be opened.

Meng Yongtao suddenly remembered that he saw the young man he had taken with him before under the crack of the table, lying on the ground and looking sideways in his direction.

He is not very old, with the recklessness and enthusiasm of young people, he always rushes to the forefront when encountering danger.As a senior, Meng Yongtao has scolded him several times:

"Xiao Rong, people like you die the fastest in the wilderness."

"I see, how many times have you said it, master." Rong Chen scratched his cheek shyly, his eyes sparkling, "But there is always someone who has to rush ahead, otherwise what about the other people behind?"

Meng Yongtao felt a pain in his heart, being stabbed in the wound by his straightforward eyes, he cursed a little bit angrily, and slapped his head and said, "You shouldn't have come here." He didn't Good for Aurora.

When the Aurora catastrophe broke out in the early years, it also saved many people and gave them a place to stay.

But up to now, the largest survivor organization in the besieged city is a harbor for catching up from behind.At some point, Aurora turned from the bright side to the dark, and embarked on the road of studying monsters.

Meng Yongtao couldn't have the lofty ideal of "controlling monsters and controlling violence with violence" like the high-level executives, but after all, Aurora has saved his life, so he naturally devoted his whole life to working hard to repay this kindness.

As time passed, Meng Yongtao slowly saw the essence of Aurora - the uncollected corpses in the wilderness, the high-level officials at the funeral shed a few drops of crocodile tears, and in the next second they were ordered to continue searching for and tracking monsters in the wilderness , Fighting with them.

"Since I saved your life, you should also work for me, don't you?"

This is not a warm repayment, but a cold transaction.

Since it's just a transaction, there's no need to work so hard.Since the person who desperately protects has no value worthy of protection, Meng Yongtao acts as a deserter with peace of mind.

But why doesn't he understand this truth?

Rong Chen's eyes were like glass beads that had lost their spirits, staring at Meng Yongtao who was hiding under the table.

His eyes were empty, and he didn't blame him, and his face didn't show any pain, but his limbs twitched from time to time under the manipulation of the monster.

Meng Yongtao closed his eyes in pain, not looking at the immature young man in front of him, the sound of the monster gnawing at his ear was getting louder, scratching the bleeding wound in his heart all at once.

Perhaps he knew that Aurora had abandoned them the moment he discovered that the escape route was closed, but he still didn't give up.

Meng Yongtao knew in his heart that Rong Chen was not fighting for Aurora's order, but simply to let the others behind him find a safe place to hide and struggle to the end.

It is precisely because of understanding this matter that Meng Yongtao is in such pain.

does it worth?Is a deserter like him worth being protected by Rong Chen?

The monster was getting closer and closer, Meng Yongtao turned around, opened his mouth, and pressed the muzzle aimed at the monster against his upper jaw.

Rather than being bitten to death by a monster, it would be better——

He was about to press the trigger when his hand was suddenly held by someone, which made him startled.

Meng Yongtao opened his eyes, his vision had already adapted to the darkness, and he saw a familiar face.That was a boy, where had he seen...

"Hush." ​​Lu Man made a quiet gesture.

Immediately afterwards, everything that happened in front of Meng Yongtao was like a strange dream before he died.

The boy rushed over and wrestled with the monster.

Their speed was so fast that Meng Yongtao could only vaguely see two shadows chasing among the ruins.

Darkness robs sight, but amplifies sound.Biting with fangs and scratching with sharp claws, they smashed and smashed countless tables and chairs along the way.

Immediately afterwards, the muscles were torn, and liquid was splashed like rain.

Meng Yongtao guessed that it was the sound of whose blood fell on the ground.

They stopped moving, and the two shadows stopped in the distance. The sound of howling and struggling was endless, echoing in the empty hall.

The cracking sound from the twisted bones made his teeth ache, and Meng Taoyong felt his spine ache.

After a long time, there was finally no movement.

Bang, the body hit the ground, and there was a dull bang, everything was over.

A shadow slowly walked towards him.

Meng Yongtao's heart raised his throat.

Who survived?Monster...or boy?

When the shadow got closer, Meng Yongtao saw that the boy's face was stained with blood, and his eyes were as deep as a pool, without any color or warmth.

Seeing that expression, Meng Yongtao's memory suddenly became clear.

More than half a month ago, the face of the boy with monster-like cold and cruel eyes cut out from the belly of the bat gradually overlapped with the face of the person in front of him.

Compared with the monkey monster with a human face on it, the boy in front of him... is more like a real monster in human skin!

Meng Yongtao's legs couldn't stop feeling weak.

"Are you okay?" With a smile on the corner of Lu Man's mouth, he stretched out his hand to Meng Yongtao, "You don't look well."

"No, nothing..." Meng Yongtao stroked it with trembling hands, his back was wet with sweat, "Thank you, thank you."

"The door is already open, you go out quickly."

Lu Man turned his head and shouted towards the messy hall.

At first, no one responded, but Zheng Qingyan was the first to climb out of the cabinet, losing half of his leg, and his movements were clumsy and laborious.

Lu Man hurriedly abandoned Meng Yongtao, ran over to help Zheng Qingyan get out of the cramped cabinet opening, stood up straight on the ground, and also found him a suitable table leg as a temporary crutch.

The others also quickly crawled out of their hiding places and walked out.

"Xiao Man, thank you."

"It's okay, we're all from the same village, Brother Qingyan, don't be so cynical." Lu Man smiled.

Others were afraid of Lu Man before.Although they couldn't see clearly in the dark, all of them knew that the boy in front of him survived the fight with the monster unscathed.

Although Lu Man didn't look strong, he was such a young man whose physique hadn't grown yet. He possessed a powerful strength that even monsters couldn't match. As long as he wanted to, he could easily crush them to death with his fingers.

When they saw Lu Man's gentle and kind expression towards Zheng Qingyan, they gradually put down their guard and thanked Lu Man one after another.

More than a dozen people lined up and fled to the gate one by one.

The moonlight quietly flowed in through the gap in the iron gate, Meng Yongtao leaned out of the ground, and breathed in the coldest air before sunrise.The cold moonlight fell on his face, and he couldn't help crying.

With the help of Lu Man and the others, Zheng Qingyan climbed to the ground.

"Is there anyone else in there?" Lu Man turned his head to look at the overwhelming darkness in the hall, and jumped up too.

"Lin, Chief Lin is still inside!" Someone responded.

"Mr. Lin?" Hearing the familiar address, Lu Man was slightly taken aback.

"Lin Yao, before the power failure, he was still broadcasting information at the radio station... I don't know if he is still there now." Meng Yongtao added.

"Broadcasting station?" When he pressed the walkie-talkie before, was it Lin Yao who sent out the "SOS" signal?

Lu Man opened the cover again and dialed the intercom again, but this time the person on the other side seemed to be dead, and there was no response.

"Could it be that Chief Lin died..."

"Hey, don't be discouraged, it's also possible that the backup power supply is exhausted and the walkie-talkie is disconnected."

"Perhaps Mr. Lin has found another way out."

"Do you know where the radio station is?"

Lu Man looked up at them.The road in Aurora was winding and winding, and he didn't think he'd be able to find his way to the radio station.

Zheng Qingyan's face was serious. He hadn't stayed in Aurora for enough time. He didn't know the way and didn't know the location of the broadcasting room.

The others also looked at each other in blank dismay, and at this moment they all faltered.

They knew that Lu Man was looking for someone who could lead him the way.

Everyone's eyes dodged, and they were all waiting for the person in his early years.

No one is not afraid of death.They hide because they want to live.How could he return to that terrible place after finally escaping from birth?

"Underneath...there are still monsters." Someone said timidly.

"I know." Lu Man said flatly.He can still smell a strong monster smell, which has not dissipated for a long time.

No one spoke.

They are all ordinary people, they will bleed when they are injured, and they will die if they get a claw from a monster, they cannot be invulnerable like Lu Man.

They also just want to live selfishly, and cannot selflessly dedicate their lives for others like heroes.

They were neither brave enough to stand up to help lead the way, nor cowardly enough to abandon their companions and turn away. They could only stay where they were and keep silent.

"I'll go."

Suddenly someone broke the silence, and everyone turned to look at that person.

Except for Zheng Qingyan, everyone's eyes widened.

It turned out to be Meng Yongtao? !

Zheng Qingyan didn't know, but the other people in Aurora knew best what kind of person Meng Yongtao was—this is the King Gou who hides at the end when encountering difficulties, can avoid and never rush forward.That's the kind of person who can survive until the end and retire from the scouting team without injury.

Among all the people present, he was the least likely to come out at this time.

However, it was the most unlikely Meng Yongtao who stood up.

Meng Yongtao's cheeks flushed, he didn't expect that he would stand up in a flash of enthusiasm.

In fact, as soon as he said it, he regretted it in his heart. He wanted to make a joke and push it away, but remembering Rong Chen's dull eyes before he died, he held back his regretful words.

As apprentices are so brave, he can't be too far behind as a master, right?

Moreover, Lu Man is so powerful, when encountering a monster like before, he punched him twice, and all the crises were resolved. He just followed by to help lead the way.

Meng Yongtao persuaded himself several times in his heart, and then he mustered up the courage again. He pretended not to see the surprised eyes of other people, and said to Lu Man: "I am a security guard, and I am quite familiar with the road inside. I can take you there."

"Okay, then please show me the way."

Others rummaged through their pockets one after another, gathered up the flashlight, hemostatic bandage, a few pieces of candy bread, and all the remaining bullets, and handed them to Meng Yongtao.

Lu Man also asked the people present how many small bottles they wanted.He exhaled mist into one of the bottles, pressed the lid tightly and handed it to Zheng Qingyan, telling him to find a big stone to block the hole after they went down.

If there is any unexpected situation, open the bottle and touch the mist, and he will rush over as soon as possible.

Zheng Qingyan hid in the cabinet for a long time before, and when he was looking for food in his pocket, he touched the strange thing Lu Man gave him, so he remembered that there was such a thing.

"If you are in danger, break this, and I will come over as soon as possible."

That's what Lu Man told him at the time.

How could it be possible to come here from such a far place... Zheng Qingyan was also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and broke the cocoon-like thing.

Unexpectedly, Lu Man really came all the way to rescue them.

Zheng Qingyan's hand on Lu Man's shoulder tightened, looking at his crippled leg, it was so useless.Now I have to rely on crutches even to walk, and I can't help anything but will only hinder me.

Lu Man seemed to notice his reluctance and worry, turned his head and smiled at Zheng Qingyan: "Brother Qingyan, don't worry, I will bring people back safely."

Zheng Qingyan's originally tightly locked brows slowly eased away.After all, he is Lu Man!

The two jumped back into the base again, the moonlight above their heads was covered inch by inch by the rocks, and they fell into the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.

Meng Yongtao's feverish mind suddenly came to his senses.

King Gou will be King Gou, besides, who stipulates that the master must be better than the apprentice, and the blue is better than the blue.Really, why do you have to show off the limelight!

He regretted it, and felt like retreating.

But Lu Man grabbed his sleeve at this moment, turned his head and whispered to him, "Don't worry, I will try my best to protect you."

Well, it seems that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

After his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, he led Lu Man forward.

The hall was in a mess, and after a few steps, Lu Man led him to stop.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yongtao turned his head to look at Lu Man, and saw Lu Man staring straight ahead, and he followed Lu Man's gaze to look there.

Another monster was lying on the ground, leaning over to eat the corpse of the monster with a twisted neck on the ground.It held a severed limb in its hand and began to eat it.

Hearing movement from Lu Man, the monster looked up.

Meng Yongtao almost couldn't hold back his cry, he covered his mouth with his hand in time, and suppressed the exclamation back into his stomach.His hand that was pulling Lu Man's sleeve couldn't stop shaking. After being frightened, he almost spewed out a torrential rage.

Meng Yongtao has always known that his apprentice is a young man with good facial features, even in the dark, even if he is paired with a monster, he can hardly hide his vigor.

That monster was wearing Rong Chen's face, gnawing at the corpse, and its face was covered with plasma and pieces of meat.
