Chapter 638: Dark Creature Appears
Jingshu wiped her mouth calmly. These people were simply abnormal. They could even smell the residue at the corners of their mouths. It seemed that they would have to let the smell out in the future.
"Alright, alright, everyone is here, let's start reporting the situation now, ahem."
As soon as the host, Xiao Shuai, took the microphone and spoke, the noise in the hall quieted down, but there was still some murmur. It was just like a regular meeting, with people always whispering in the background. Everyone was very concerned about this matter. After all, they had been trapped for several days. It was really unpleasant...
"What I'm about to say is very important. Everyone, please keep it in mind. Just three hours ago, a man and woman went out without permission despite curfew, perhaps intending to do something shameful. They were dragged into a quagmire by an unknown creature and disappeared. When our people went to rescue them, they only found some clothes and heard screams!"
There wasn't a big commotion at the scene; it was just two dead people. Isn't that perfectly normal? Rather than the dead, people are actually more curious about who these two men and women were. Sleeping in a large bunk bed with no privacy would have led them to do something like this, right?
Besides, it's been a few years since the end of the world. Isn't it normal for things like this to happen frequently?
"Do you think this is normal? Don't you take it seriously? At first, we were just feeling sorry for them. The people at the scene were ready to report the news so we could investigate who those two people were... But unfortunately, it's been three hours since the incident, and we still haven't had time to investigate because many strange-looking creatures covered in black mud have crawled out of the swift mudslide and dragged our people down into the mire.
Our men opened fire, but it was like shooting into a quagmire, with no reaction at all. We could only watch helplessly as these things dragged our companions into the mudslide and disappeared completely.
We gathered a lot of people and went there with torches, electric batons and various weapons. After a fight, they left ten corpses and hurriedly climbed down the mud and disappeared completely. We also lost three people and injured five people.
It's foreseeable that there are many such creatures. They are like wild beasts, powerful and agile, amphibious, and as invulnerable to bullets as mud. However, they are afraid of light, fire, and electricity. Now let me show you the corpses of these creatures. After our identification, we found that they are likely new products of the apocalypse."
The host waved his hand, and someone carried the mutated creatures one by one onto the stage. The lights shone on the mutated creatures on the stage, making them look hideous, terrifying, and shriveled.
One of the mutated creatures was two meters long.
Without the nourishment of mud and water, they quickly became like dried corpses, but the skeleton was still there, like... a fish skeleton, but with ferocious teeth and two claws.
To put it together, it has a fish body, lizard claws and a big head that takes up half of the body.
Jingshu frowned and knocked on the chair, making a rhythmic sound. It was strange. She had never seen this creature before. She slept too soundly last night. Her insects and snakes were only scattered around the outside of the building, and they did not sound the alarm. After all, the intelligence of these insects and snakes was too low. As long as there was no threat to Jingshu's safety, they would not sound the alarm, let alone record these things.
"After a brief identification, these creatures were identified as dark creatures that eat everything. They survive by feeding on mud. There seems to be no distinction between males and females. Their method of reproduction is unknown. However, they are extremely dangerous and will prey on any living thing. They are formidable in combat. You can think of them as mutated and evolved forms of small sharks, with claws and strengthened teeth, giving them the ability to survive both on land and in water."
The host Xiao Shuai repeated all the instructions given above without hiding anything, because after the discussion above, they originally wanted to tell some minor plots without causing panic, but finally decided to tell all these things to avoid people taking it lightly.
After hearing this, Jingshu quietly released more snakes to guard outside the building, and gave orders to warn her if they encountered these dark creatures.
"In this dangerous situation, we must tell the truth and scare them so that they will stay in the building and not do anything weird." Jun Jia was like this at the time.
Said.
Sure enough, after the host Xiao Shuai finished speaking and pulled these dark creatures up, the hall was in complete chaos.
It’s not about what this dark creature is like, but about how this man-eating creature is actually hovering outside, and more importantly, it can even climb out of the building.
Xiao Shuai was very satisfied and continued, "Do you know what this means? It's like we're on a big ship, floating on the sea, and the sea is full of sharks circling us. These sharks can even crawl onto the shore and eat you if you're alone."
Crash.
The people in the hall were even more frightened. Before, when they were trapped, they were just anxious, but now they were really terrified.
"So now it has been decided that no one is allowed to leave the building except those with passes. Violators will be thrown into the water to feed the sharks." Xiao Shuai happily stated this rule, but no one objected.
No one wants to go out now, just stay in the building.
"By the way, there are so many people these days that there isn't much food left. Mr. Lu, the boss of the building, has decided to double the price of all food." Xiao Shuai announced the second rule.
"Why is this happening? We are out of money."
"Yeah, the food is too expensive and not tasty. It's really hard to swallow."
“It’s all mixed with mud…”
Xiao Shuai nodded in understanding. "So now we need people to dig some defensive walls and interception mechanisms in the building. We will provide these people with three meals a day for free."
If we don't go, many people won't be able to afford food, and if we go, it seems very dangerous outside.
"Don't worry, we have found the weakness of the dark creatures and will definitely protect you."
The most troubled ones are Jingshu's classmates in the box, because they are really not rich...
"Wait, have you seen Cheng Long?"
"Cheng Long is not here. I don't think I saw him this morning."
"Where is he? Isn't he with Sister Tangyuan?"
Tang Yuan's voice trembled: "Yesterday he said he was going to help Brother Ba..."
Jin Baba's voice came: "Don't talk nonsense, if you need help, I will go to Master Lan."
So, where did Cheng Long go?
Could Cheng Long be one of the two people who disappeared? But Cheng Long's wife Tang Yuan is still here.
Jingshu shook her head. She really didn't know what to say about this matter. Isn't it too ridiculous?
