Extreme weather events like freezing temperatures, storms, intense heat, heavy rain, earthquakes, and hail caused severe shortages of living supplies; mutated animals and plants along with human vi...
When retreating to the junction of parking areas A and B in the underground parking lot, Xiao Mu found a person standing there, or rather, a creature that resembled a human.
When Jiang Yao saw Xiao Mu suddenly stop, she also stopped and looked in the direction Xiao Mu was looking. Suddenly, the hairs on her body stood on end.
You should know that when they went in, there wasn't a single living person or thing in the entire parking lot, only a dark shadow flashed by quickly.
No one knows what's going on with this person who suddenly appeared.
Xiao Mu raised his pistol, aimed at the other man's head, and fired a shot. The sound of the gunshot echoed throughout the parking lot.
After firing the shot, seeing that the other person only swayed slightly and remained standing there unharmed, Jiang Yao's heart was in her throat.
What is not afraid of guns?
dead.
Logically speaking, even a dead person should fall down after being shot, but the other person only swayed slightly, which made the atmosphere feel oppressive and uneasy.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu narrowed his eyes, stared at the other person, and carefully stepped forward to check, with Jiang Yao following closely behind him.
A strong smell of blood wafted over.
vomit.....
What would hang a person on the wall, skin them, and then eat them?
Looking at the few footprints and thick bloodstains on the ground, Xiao Mu said, "Let's leave quickly, the shadowy figure from before should still be here."
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the person who had been almost completely devoured. She knew that they had already experienced something incredible last night, and this was even more ruthless than what had happened last night.
The two ran quickly toward the exit, and Jiang Yao always felt that a pair of eyes were watching her intently.
When they returned to the RV, Shen Zhijie had already prepared dinner. He chatted with the RV owner next to him, but when he noticed that the two looked strange, he quickly waved goodbye to the RV owner.
Once inside the RV, Jiang Yao's complexion improved somewhat. Xiao Mu then told Shen Zhijie about their discovery in the underground parking garage...
Looking at the lights and atmosphere outside the car, Jiang Yao wondered if tonight would be a peaceful night.
Shen Zhijie frowned upon hearing this. The events of the previous night had already shattered their understanding, and now, after hearing the description of the underground parking lot, he felt that things were becoming increasingly complicated.
After the three finished their dinner, they put away the awning and tables and chairs outside the car, returned to the car, closed the doors and windows, and drew the curtains.
When nearby car owners saw them doing this, they always felt that something was going to happen at night, so after dinner, they also went back to their cars to spend the night.
That night, some people pitched tents to spend the night, while others slept in hanging baskets. These people were unaware that danger was slowly approaching.
Xiao Mu and the others took turns keeping watch at night, and if there was any unusual activity, they would quickly wake everyone up.
When it was Jiang Yao's turn to keep watch, she felt something pause briefly above the car.
Jiang Yao cautiously peeked out through the crack in the window and met a pair of bright green eyes. Startled, she quickly pulled the curtains down.
Just then, a scream came from outside. Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie quickly opened their eyes, picked up their weapons, and went to the window to peek outside, but were stopped by Jiang Yao.
Seeing that Jiang Yao's face was pale and her hands were trembling as if she had been frightened by something, Shen Zhijie slowly asked, "What did you see, right?"
"I only saw a pair of green eyes."
Screams continued outside. Some brave people ran out to see what was happening and found a lot of bloodstains around them, as if someone had dragged an injured body and crawled on the ground.
The victims were a young couple; the wife was still crying, saying, "He was dragged away by a monster."
At this point, someone asked, "Did you see what it looks like?"
"I don't know!" she said, hugging herself as if she couldn't bear to recall it, her expression terrified and pale.
Near the young couple, there were several tents. Something happened here, but no one came out of the tents, which was a bit strange.
Everyone walked towards the tents. There was blood on the ground, and a strange handprint on one of the tents. When they lifted the tent and looked inside, there were no living people there.
The people inside seemed to have vanished into thin air, and the other tents were also empty, with only drag marks on the ground.
The people in the gondola were also gone. It seems that the people sleeping in the car escaped unharmed. However, it's strange that so many people have disappeared for no apparent reason.
Everyone returned to their cars, and no one dared to get out of their vehicles that night.
Upon waking up early in the morning, Shen Zhijie had already prepared breakfast. After the three of them ate breakfast, they prepared to continue their journey.
This time, however, they were followed by a team, and everyone felt that Jiang Yao and the others seemed to have known what was going to happen in advance last night.
I felt it would be safer to go with them.
If Jiang Yao knew what everyone was thinking, she would probably be speechless!
They didn't know what had dragged them away last night.
Looking at the convoy behind them, Shen Zhijie joked, "Don't you get the feeling that we're migrating like animals?"
...
The daytime temperature was still rising, and driving on the road for a long time would cause great wear and tear on the vehicle tires, so Jiang Yao and the others could only drive and stop frequently.
Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Yao and the others rested and reorganized at a farm, parking their car on the side of the road so they could leave quickly in case of an emergency.
The air conditioning in the RV is now running 24 hours a day. The outdoor temperature has reached 45°C during the day, and even at night, the temperature is still close to 40°C.
Jiang Yao decided to soak the mung beans in advance and cook some mung bean soup tomorrow.
Because of the hot weather, Jiang Yao didn't have much of an appetite. After preparing dinner for Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie, she decided to go to the farmhouse to take a look.
Seeing that Jiang Yao was going to visit the house on the farm, Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie decided to go with her.
After driving all day, everyone got out of the car and strolled around the farm while the nighttime temperature was still not too high.
Upon entering the house, the first thing that catches the eye is a plant whose name I don't know.
Despite the sweltering heat and the lack of water, it has grown incredibly strong. Someone curiously reached out to touch it, only to immediately cut their hand.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yao stepped forward to take a look. It turned out that the leaves of this plant had sharp serrations, and one could easily get cut if one was not careful.
She circled the plant twice and observed that there were thin red lines on the plant's roots and stems, just like its blood vessels.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he had drunk blood.
As soon as I got to the second floor, I smelled a stench, like the unbearable odor of rotting meat.
Opening one of the rooms, a person was lying on the bed. It looked like he had been dead for some time. A swarm of flies were buzzing around the body. Because of the high temperature and the fact that no one had noticed, the body had begun to smell of decay.
Some people couldn't stand the stench and started vomiting.
Opening the second door, you enter a study. The walls are covered with books, and on the desk sits a copy of "Man's Search for Meaning," which is already half-read.
