348 Sky Gate (IV)

They were discovered

There was a fly man in the room right under my feet. He rubbed his head off and played with it in his hands. Black hairs grew on his human arms, and he rubbed them back and forth like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and his movements were also very slow.

Zhu Ning had only known the term "headless fly" before, and this was the first time he saw the real scene.

It is said that flies can survive without a head. In addition to the brain in their head, they also have developed nerves as a backup brain. Flies that lose their heads usually die of starvation rather than decapitation.

This scene looked weird no matter how one looked at it. The fly head was tossing around in the person's hand, as if it had noticed the presence of Zhu Ning and the others. Its eyes, as big as fists, looked straight at them without shifting their focus from beginning to end.

Flies, flies and maggots everywhere, like a breeding ground.

Lin Xiaofeng silently took two steps back. Zhu Ning was the first to speak: "Does anyone know what this is?"

She brought two professional guides with her, expecting an answer. Pei Shu shook his head silently, but Bai Cheng took out an axe. The two Bai Chengs prepared their weapons at the same time, their movements in unison, which looked a bit scary at first glance.

Zhu Ning asked, "What are you doing?"

Bai Cheng: "I can kill one first."

If there is some strange logic that needs to be triggered manually, Bai Cheng tends to take the initiative.

Zhu Ning couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up, she is worthy of being your Sister Bai.

Zhu Ning spoke cautiously, "First of all, they can see us."

Pei Shu: "Agree."

Flies have well-developed visual nerves. They tried it and found that no matter which room they passed through, the fly-people inside would follow their gaze.

The best example is the one in front of us. The head being rubbed by the arm keeps looking in this direction no matter how it changes direction, and there seems to be some mental pollution in its sight. It makes me feel very uncomfortable to look into its eyes.

Pei Shu half-knelt down. There was plenty of room for him to move around on the wall, allowing him to observe the current situation in several rooms at the same time. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We are much smaller than them. In the eyes of the fly people, we may be the flies."

In this world, the acne-scarred man is the largest creature, a super giant. In their eyes, the fly man is a giant, and the team outside the wall is basically just small flying insects.

For a moment, it seemed as if the food chain was turned upside down. Zhu Ning, as a human being, became a fly, while the fly lived in the model house, which had a bed and a refrigerator, and seemed to abide by human civilization.

So what next?

Zhu Ning was also confused. Open the notebook? But there was no danger at the moment, why would opening the notebook create danger?

It's really weird. They are trapped in a fly's nest and are running around like headless flies.

Bai Cheng was holding an axe in her hand, and it seemed that she would charge forward as long as Zhu Ning gave the order, but Zhu Ning shook his head. He didn't understand the logic. Whoever moved would die. Most importantly, people were floating in the sky, which was too dangerous.

Zhu Ning suggested that they first feel out the size of the place, as they would need a map to play the game.

The five people looked like tourists, carrying black backpacks and wearing helmets. They should have a tour guide to introduce them.

Something like: "Welcome to Fly Paradise, right ahead is our biggest fly man..."

Unfortunately, there was no such tour guide, so they had to grope their way as they walked, crawling on top of the wall like insects. Zhu Ning hoped to reach the border, but the place was too big and they walked for a long time without reaching the edge.

Bai Cheng and Pei Shu were both timing themselves to avoid errors. They had already walked for half an hour without any gains. They were on a time limit. Once the time was up, their car would fall into a group of water droplets. Even if they finally purified the polluted area, they would have no means of transportation to leave.

Zhu Ning's heart was getting heavier and heavier. Suddenly, she saw something moving in front of her. Was it at the edge?

Zhu Ning did not feel happy, but felt more depressed, as if a stone was weighing on his heart.

Boom——

She suddenly heard a loud noise and felt it darken above her, casting a thick black shadow that blocked out the incandescent light.

The others also realized it and looked up at the same time.

What caught my eye was a huge eye, the surface of the eyeball was covered with red bloodshot, the eyeball was bulging and a little excited, and the edge of the eyeball was a little deformed.

That was the man Zhu Ning had seen before. His face was covered with acne scars and large pores, and his entire face was oily.

The man with the acne scar was holding a magnifying glass at this time, with his eyes distorted as he looked down at the interior of the model house. He looked like a spectator watching a game, or a peeping pervert, with a huge smile on his face.

They were discovered.

To Zhu Ning, the entire sky was like an ugly human face with a deformed eyeball. Anyone could see the malice in the eyes.

It's pure malice, as if criminals who abuse cats and dogs are watching the small animals, who are just playthings.

Zhu Ning remembered that when she opened the door for the first time, she heard the man say there was something here, and then he left.

Zhu Ning felt a little dazed for a moment, not knowing whether it was because he was contaminated or because he was frightened by encountering a creature of such a huge size difference.

The underground evil children in Area 103 are also huge, but they have the appearance of tentacles. The creatures in front of us look completely human and can speak human language.

"Hey, I told you there was something there, and I wasn't mistaken," said the man with the acne scar.

The strange thing was that Zhu Ning did not feel that the sound was extremely loud, but rather that it was seamless and he could understand it.

Boom, boom, boom! Zhu Ning's heart was beating wildly. He realized something and shouted, "Run!"

"Run along the wall!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man with the acne scar stretched out his hand, and his fat fingers pressed down like a mountain. For the first time, he experienced what it felt like to be crushed by a mountain. He was careful not to touch the layout of the model house and went straight to Zhu Ning.

Perhaps it was because Zhu Ning was moving quickly. Humans are like this. When looking at a tank of fish, they will first pay attention to the one swimming most happily. Zhu Ning was that fish and became the first target.

Zhu Ning gritted his teeth and dodged to the side when the huge finger landed on the ground. He didn't even care about the maggots nearby and landed along the wall.

With a bang, a finger pushed down and the table in the model house was pushed over and crushed. Zhu Ning just barely avoided it because his protective suit was tight on his body, otherwise he would have been pinched by the corner of his clothes.

The fingers were so close that Zhu Ning could even see the stains between the nails. They were very familiar human fingers. Zhu Ning had seen them countless times in his many years as a human, but this was the first time he looked up at them.

The finger paused in the model house, then immediately turned around. The finger was like a monster with an independent life. It turned its head and attacked Zhu Ning again.

There is a flying man in this house. He is not wearing any clothes and judging by his body shape, he is an old man. Logically, this is his home and he will definitely react if something happens at home.

But the flies didn't move at all, remaining still, as if they were used to it. Instead, the maggots in the house went crazy, squirming their bodies and began to escape.

Zhu Ning could feel that the man with the pimple didn't really want to hurt the maggots and was carefully avoiding them. This gave Zhu Ning some time to react, and she attracted all the firepower by herself.

Zhu Ning saw from the corner of her eye that Lin Xiaofeng was very smart. When the man with the pimple appeared, she slid along the wall and ran away immediately. She did not find Bai Cheng and Pei Shu.

Without caring about anything else, Zhu Ning calculated quickly while rolling, with a map of the entire model house in her mind. She opened a door and her fingers followed behind. No wonder she had difficulty hitting flies before. It was really difficult for such a huge creature to hit a bug.

With a "puff", the man with the pimple accidentally injured a fly man. The other man was stunned and one of his fingers was crushed. The liquid exploded and stained the fingertips of the man with the pimple.

The man with the acne scar rubbed the wall of the model house and looked for his target again, but found that Zhu Ning was gone.

Zhu Ning was too small for the acne-scarred man, so he relied on a magnifying glass to lock onto Zhu Ning's position. The magnifying glass was not easy to move around and was more suitable for static observation.

Zhu Ning ran wildly in the model house, opening doors one after another. After all, the man with acne scars had no eyes on his fingers, so he stopped chasing after a while, feeling dizzy.

"Hey, stop it. You've made a mess and we need to clean it up." Another man appeared in front of the model house. He was wearing black-framed glasses and propped them up on his nose.

The man with the acne scar retracted his fingers and rubbed them on the corner of his clothes, but his eyes did not move away. He lowered his head and moved closer.

Zhu Ning leaned her back against the wall, her heart pounding. The thin wooden planks of the model house were of no use at all. There was a huge maggot at her feet. The pockmarked man's breath was so hot that she could almost smell his bad breath.

His eyes darted back and forth like a searchlight, and he fiddled with the model house with one finger, picking up the fallen little chair and muttering to himself, "It was right here, how come it disappeared?"

Man with glasses: "They are all bugs anyway, all the same."

Acne-stricken Man: "It's different, no."

The man with glasses scoffed, "Hurry up, it's late."

The man with the glasses glanced at his watch, as if he was in a hurry.

What do you mean it's late? Zhu Ning listened carefully to their conversation, but it was so disjointed that he had no idea what it was talking about.

The man with the acne scar said "oh", and Zhu Ning felt his eyes go dark again, and his fat fingers poked down again.

Was she discovered?

Impossible. Zhu Ning was at the foot of the wall, so he should be in the blind spot. In the acne-scarred man's sight, he was at most a black dot. How could human vision be so sharp?

But the finger fell accurately, and Zhu Ning subconsciously reached for his gun. However, this weapon probably had little lethality to the man with the acne scar, and it was almost the same as getting a barb stuck in his finger.

She gave up using the gun and activated the spider silk, trying to cut off a finger.

Zhu Ning's heartbeat calmed down. He just wanted to kill monsters, but the finger did not come towards Zhu Ning. After landing, it gently pinched a maggot.

The fat maggot trembled in the air, twisting its body and struggling, as if it was being lifted by a crane.

That thing was like a python to Zhu Ning, but in the hands of the acne-stricken man it was really just a bug.

The man with the acne scar hummed softly as he picked and chose in the model house, as if he were picking fresh vegetables from the garden while preparing dinner.

The maggots that were picked out couldn't even make a sound. They were picked up and put into a small dish. When they tried to escape, they were immediately picked up by the man with the pimple.

At least they are not doing experiments, experiments will not be so crude. Is it really breeding?

But what are they used for? In reality, fly maggots are usually farmed to feed pigs or other poultry. They are rich in protein and are considered a form of industry.

Zhu Ning only knew that maggots were an excellent source of protein. During famines, people were extremely hungry and not only ate tree bark, but also ate maggots to supplement protein.

Are they eating maggots?

When the acne man moves, all the fly people stay still, and he can move freely in the fly people's house.

The man with the acne scar had already left where Zhu Ning was. Before leaving, he murmured to himself, "I was right here, where did you go?" He looked back reluctantly.

Zhu Ning heard a click, and then the world fell into darkness. The man with the acne turned off the incandescent light in the room. Zhu Ning blinked for a moment to adapt, then turned on the night vision function of his protective suit, and the world turned green.

The man with the acne scar left the door open when he left, so they could see a glowing crack in the door, like a golden treasure chest in an adventure novel. It looked very attractive and pointed them in the direction.

Zhu Ning heard a tapping sound, which was another secret code they had discussed. She kept the bird's-eye view on and quickly found the missing teammate.

Bai Cheng was in the room next to her. When the accident happened, Bai Cheng asked another self to follow the others, and he followed Zhu Ning.

Because Bai Cheng and the others share memories, teammates won't get lost and can reunite quickly. It's a very smart strategy.

Zhu Ning walked out of his hiding place and approached Bai Cheng, but suddenly heard a rustling sound.

A door opened and a fly man appeared numbly. Zhu Ning thought he was going to be attacked.

But Zhu Ning didn't have to do anything, as Bai Cheng appeared. Bai Cheng stood near the fly man with an axe in his hand, ready to hit him with it at any time.

But the fly man didn't even look at Zhu Ning, instead he walked towards another house.

Zhu Ning was stunned for a moment, then he and Bai Cheng leaned in to take a look.

The fly man in this room is dead, probably killed in the attack just now. He was crushed by fingers, his body was bursting with juice, and there were several maggots on his body.

After the fly man walked in, he placed his hairy hands on the body of his companion, the black hair in his mouth twitched, and he looked intoxicated as he was actually sucking the rotten corpse.

The breath of death attracted more fly people, and the sounds of doors opening rang out one after another. Dense swarms of fly people rushed towards this side, as if to attend some kind of banquet.

Zhu Ning didn't want to watch any longer. This place was too uncomfortable. She and Bai Cheng rushed towards the other teammates, wanting to change their strategy immediately.

Either open your laptop or just walk out that door and take a look.

The author has something to say:

My dears, this book has been written for a long time. It is easy for the author to get tired, and the readers to look tired too, which is painful for both sides. So in order to ensure the quality and a more pleasant reading experience, I thought of a sustainable development path. The updates before were continuous, and I would only take leave to rest when I was very tired and couldn't write anymore. But this way I am like a rubber band that is constantly being pulled, and it is difficult to restore the elasticity even if I release it. It would also be very unpleasant for you to suddenly stop following me. This time I want to try a fixed day a week, resting on Saturday, and updating every other day, usually around nine o'clock in the evening. Try it for a while to adjust~
