335 Tadpole Mole (V)

◎This is...the source of pollution?◎

Zhu Ning felt a piercing chill on his back, accompanied by a sense of aggression.

Zhu Ning has already determined that this thing is an alien species. Since the ant xue, she has specially learned about the characteristics of this creature. It coexists with the polluted area and its manifestations vary depending on the polluted area.

Aliens usually do not eat human flesh and blood. They directly absorb fear. Most people are not killed, but are scared to death by aliens.

After the alien species has absorbed all of their fear, their vitality will also disappear.

The situation is now on the verge of breaking the camel's back. We cannot even speak up to warn them, as the situation may worsen if we do.

It is best not to move when encountering alien species and stay calm. After Xin Baicheng went into the water, they hardly moved at all, as if they were playing the game of "status" by the river. Whoever moved first would die first.

The black mucus at the back of Zhu Ning's neck was boiling, overflowing from the gaps between his bones and accumulating on the back of his head.

Zhu Ning's wrist trembled slightly. In fact, his blood had already turned cold, but because it was connected to the black mucus, he inexplicably felt excited, and his most primitive desire was awakened.

It was as if a shark smelled blood, and fear suddenly became tangible in her eyes. Compared to the alien species behind her, she was actually more interested in Pei Shu and Lin Xiaofeng who were right next to her.

Pei Shu was standing behind Zhu Ning. From his perspective, he could see a crack in Zhu Ning's helmet, like a river clam opening a hole. Black mucus gradually gathered and actually formed a human shape.

The figure grew taller and taller, at least over two meters and five, connected to Zhu Ning's neck. The black mucus had no facial features, and there were two holes where the eyes should be.

Pei Shu's body stiffened, and he looked into the eyes of the black slime for the first time. The other party was very tall, and his empty eyes looked down at all the humans below.

Pei Shu couldn't figure out Zhu Ning's mental state. Could it be that she wanted to eat him?

Pei Shu's heart was pounding, and he wasn't sure whether to fight back if Zhu Ning attacked him.

But before Zhu Ning could make any specific move, a fishy smell hit him in the face. Pei Shu glanced at the river surface and saw large amounts of blood overflowing from the water, almost dyeing the pond red.

So much blood, is Shinbai Cheng dead?

Just as Pei Shu was thinking this, Bai Cheng, who had been standing still on the shore, suddenly moved. She was actually the first person to move here.

"There is a road underwater." Bai Cheng's mechanical and emotionless voice sounded.

At this time, no one could accurately judge what their teammates were saying. Their first reaction was that a sound was made. Sure enough, as soon as Bai Cheng finished speaking, the alien species on the shore swooped down at a high speed.

Rustling——

Just like being surrounded and attacked, after being exposed, the human body will tremble uncontrollably and the secretion of fear will accelerate. This has nothing to do with personal control, it is a natural reaction.

Pei Shu cursed inwardly as flames enveloped his right palm. Even with all his strength, he could only condense a tiny bit of fire. He stretched his body backwards, and his burning hand pierced through the alien's chest, causing the other party's movements to pause for a moment.

Pei Shu thought about checking on Lin Xiaofeng first. If Zhu Ning was not fully awake, he should take care of the team's rear.

But his worries were a bit unnecessary. The little girl pulled with great force, and a corner of the alien was torn off. She put her other hand against its body and fired. After the sound of bangs, flames splashed on the shore.

Lin Xiaofeng trembled when she touched the alien species. It was too cold. She wanted to kneel down immediately, but her knees were shaking. No matter how brave she was, she was only ten years old.

She had low expectations for herself and kept repeating in her mind that she had to play the supporting role well. Lin Xiaofeng's hand was on the trigger, and all the movements were mechanical.

All the dogs in the village were startled, and the sound of barking dogs mixed with the sound of gunfire.

The black mucus behind Zhu Ning was expanding rapidly.

I don’t know if it was because Zhu Ning’s feeding for so long was effective, or if there was more than one living on her body at the time, but the black mucus was actually splitting, as if she was dazzled, and one turned into two.

Zhu Ning stood there and just moved his fingers, feeling very uncomfortable. His heart was contracting violently, producing blood at a very fast rate, and the load was getting heavier and heavier.

Under the influence of the tadpole mole, Zhu Ning's vision went dark. In the chaos, he could no longer see Bai Cheng's shadow. He only saw water splashing in the pond and Bai Cheng went into the water.

Bai Cheng jumped down as soon as she finished speaking. Bai Cheng was very calm. She would definitely not seek death. Her willingness to go into the water must have conveyed some image to her by the new Bai Cheng.

There is a road underwater, these were the last four words Bai Cheng said.

Zhu Ning shouted, "Get in the water!"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded at her and jumped down. She listened to Zhu Ning very much and was the first executor of all Zhu Ning's orders.

Pei Shu still wanted to stay and help Zhu Ning, but Bai Cheng went into the water. Zhu Ning had to face the siege of so many alien species alone, and it would cost him half his life to survive.

Zhu Ning lowered his head and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Get in the water."

There is a water monster below and an alien species on the shore. Neither side is a good choice, but Bai Cheng said there is a road below, so there must be a road.

Pei Shu no longer hesitated, but fastened his helmet and went into the water. As soon as he jumped in, he felt tadpoles swarming towards him, as if they wanted to eat him.

Pei Shu looked back at Zhu Ning. More black mucus was flowing out of her cervical vertebrae. There were fourteen tall figures, and they were still splitting apart.

There was a crackling sound in her spine, her vertebrae broke, black mucus flowed out, then healed, broke again and flowed out, and this action was repeated countless times.

Zhu Ning's heart was about to jump out of her throat. There were too many parasites in her body, and excessive use of alien species would cause her body to become unbalanced.

To others, Zhu Ning seemed to have no external injuries, but in fact, she had been going through the process of constantly breaking herself down and reuniting herself.

With a splash, Zhu Ning couldn't bear the burden anymore and knelt on the shore. The increasingly thick mucus was about to crush her.

All her teammates went into the water, leaving her alone on the shore. The humanity in her heart was compressing and collapsing into a tiny dot. The simple and primitive desire to eat seemed to be freed from its shackles.

No one saw this scene. The black mucus behind Zhu Ning split faster and faster, from one to dozens and hundreds.

Rustling——

The black slime made a sound. This thing was connected to Zhu Ning's back spine, forming a black mass. The wind blew the bamboo forest, and it seemed like there was a ghost in the deserted fishing village.

If someone accidentally enters Fengyu Village, they will definitely not think it is a paradise, but rather a ghost town where different species begin to fight and devour each other.

Rustling——

…

The water was rippling, and Pei Shu couldn't see what happened behind Zhu Ning because his vision was completely blocked.

The underwater world was much more chaotic than he had imagined. The black water already limited visibility, and now it was stained with blood, and the stench was overwhelming. When he first entered the water, he couldn't even tell east, west, or north.

There was too much blood, not enough for one person to produce. Sure enough, the next moment, half a smashed human head was floating around him.

There was a tadpole tail behind the human head, obviously blown to pieces by hot weapons. The pond was full of tadpole people.

It was just that a battle had broken out below, and the tadpole people floating upwards were half dead. The few he had just seen had little combat power, and if there were any, just shooting them with another bullet would be enough.

Pei Shu saw a figure half a meter ahead and accelerated her dive. It was Lin Xiaofeng. She felt much better after entering the water. There were no alien species to influence her judgment. She just needed to tear the tadpole people apart. No one mentioned it, but Lin Xiaofeng and Zhu Ning's styles were becoming more and more alike.

Pei Shu put a hand on her shoulder. Lin Xiaofeng shuddered, thinking he was a monster. Everyone was wearing a helmet. Pei Shu turned on the call function of the helmet, "Where's Bai Cheng?"

Lin Xiaofeng was so angry that he felt a little stressed.

Bai Cheng was the first to go into the water. So many tadpole people's bodies must have been caused by Bai Cheng. Where did Bai Cheng go? Is the new Bai Cheng really dead?

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't answer. She looked up to see Zhu Ning, but all she saw was the corpse of a monster. She couldn't find where Zhu Ning had gone.

Pei Shu diverted her attention and said, "Find a way out first."

Lin Xiaofeng paused, slowly calmed down, and dived with Pei Shu. Pei Shu had seen Xin Baicheng's route into the water. She must have been stuck by something after entering the water, and then her arm was broken. She must have been attacked by the tadpole man.

Is Shinbaicheng really dead?

She told Bai Cheng that there was a way out, so where was that way out?

Diving does not require any effort. Just like what you see in the video, once you enter the water, you will be attracted by some strange force. Pei Shu turned on the power device of the protective suit and helped Lin Xiaofeng turn it on as well. The power device is the force for floating up, so they will not be caught away all at once.

There was chaos below, with broken limbs everywhere. The tadpole people attacked with greater force. Pei Shu threw two flares down. Generally, people who were exploring the way would not use such large-scale flares for fear of disturbing some unknown creatures.

But they couldn't care less now. The flare had fallen to the bottom of the pond, and the water was still murky, but they could already see an outline.

After seeing it clearly, Pei Shu's breath was held. It was said that before the end of the world, there was a toy specially for children to play with. Pei Shu had seen that thing when he went out of the wall to explore.

It was made of plastic and was filled with plastic fish with their mouths wide open. They would sing when opened, and you could throw the hook in to catch fish. It was clearly a childish fishing game, but it suddenly reminded him of something.

At the bottom of the pond are deep pits like giant pores, with faces buried inside them, making the same movements as the plastic fish. These are tadpole people.

The key point is that after the tadpole people come out, new ones will take their place. When a tadpole person comes out to attack in one pit, there will be another to replace him the next second. If you watch it for a long time, it will not only pollute your mind but also make you feel sick.

The closer to the escape route, the safer it should be. This place is obviously not very safe.

Pei Shu saw a broken human leg in a deep pit. It was definitely Xin Baicheng's leg. She must have been stuck there and cut off her own leg while trying to escape in an emergency.

No matter which Bai Cheng it is, he is still as cruel and ruthless to himself as ever. What about Bai Cheng?

Because Bai Cheng had seen the footage provided by another self, he would definitely not be as aimless as them, and he had a specific idea.

There are broken limbs everywhere. Where did Bai Cheng go?

Lin Xiaofeng shot and killed a tadpole man: "Over there."

She pointed in a certain direction. In the distance, there was a very faint light, like the double flashes on a car, flashing continuously with some special pattern. The water was too turbid and it would be easily overlooked if you were not careful.

Pei Shu swam quickly towards the flash of light. The closer he got to the light, the clearer it became. Pei Shu had been fighting all the way and his strength was gradually exhausted. When he got close to the flash of light, he and Lin Xiaofeng both felt a little exhausted.

This contaminated area has been consuming their superpowers and physical strength, and several people were almost beaten back to their original form.

The bullets were almost used up, and in the end I had to use a knife.

Lin Xiaofeng's face turned pale, and she felt that she was not swinging the knife very skillfully. While swinging the knife, she was still looking for the source of pollution or a way out. Zhu Ning was still on the shore, and she had to help.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaofeng's body froze, unable to react to the tadpole-man's attack so close to her. Pei Shu had to help her fend it off. She had no time to think about the huge creature wriggling in the mud deep in the water. She was stunned for a long time. What she saw before her was... a blood vessel?

This thing is too big to see the whole thing, so it is impossible to make a judgment.

But that thing looked very similar to a blood vessel, and also like a sewer, hidden at the bottom of the pond, smelly and hot, as if supplying blood to something, and its surface was still shrinking. Since arriving at this location, the tadpole people have gradually become fewer.

The villagers of Fengyu Village have known about the existence of tadpole people for a long time. It seems like some kind of ancient custom. According to the records in "Chen Qihang"'s notebook, this thing existed before the end of the world.

It is very ancient, similar to the Wumai, and it is estimated that it will become a kind of belief for the villagers.

The first creatures affected by pollution should be aquatic life, but it just happened to be tadpoles, or perhaps tadpoles met its needs at that time.

This is... the source of pollution?

Or is it the essence of pollution?

Lin Xiaofeng didn't know much about the structure of the creatures outside the wall, and he couldn't describe it. What was this thing? It looked like a ball of meat. How big was it?

At the end of District 103, Lin Xiaofeng realized that there was no completely clean land in the world, and everything was polluted.

The underground pollutants will devour each other. It's not like I just eat you and that's it. Instead, after being devoured, you will become a part of me.

For example, I was originally just a piece of rotten meat. After eating a pollutant, I grew a finger. I ate another one, and then I grew another leg. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is somewhat similar to Zhu Ning's current situation. As the swallowing expands, the body also continues to expand.

If the bottom of the pond is a blood vessel, what does the complete body of this thing look like?

It shouldn't just be Fengyu Village. They were actually just seeing a tiny part of the picture, lifting a small piece of cover and seeing a tiny corner.

Behind the swollen blood vessels, there was a mass of black stuff floating in the water, intertwined with the water plants, but it was a bunch of hair.

Lin Xiaofeng was sharp-eyed and saw a thin and narrow braid that Bai Cheng had braided for another girl herself. At that time, she dressed it up carefully like a rag doll.

The closer to the blood vessels, the fewer tadpoles there are. At this moment, they seemed to have disappeared. Pei Shu also saw it, but he did not say anything for a long time.

Lin Xiaofeng swam forward, not afraid of any unknown danger. She carefully reached out and moved it. Xin Baicheng's pale face was pressed gently against the palm of her hand. Her body was cold and she was dead.
