A cold air surrounded her body, and Zheng Ran felt that her body was extremely heavy, especially her shoulders. She even felt a slight pain as she walked.
Before she knew it, she had already walked most of the alley, because she seemed to be able to vaguely see the end of the road, but it was not very clear.
But as time passed, her steps became heavier and heavier, her breathing became short and heavy, beads of sweat continued to seep out of her forehead and drip down the curve of her cheeks, and her face became extremely pale.
[Will the impact of losing two fires be so great? ]
[I don't know. It's so uncomfortable...]
[I feel like I can't breathe, I'm a little short of oxygen.]
My shoulders are so sore. Am I doing any weight training?
It feels like there's someone hanging from my neck.
Zheng Ran wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her body had begun to show signs of fatigue. Her calves were sore and swollen. In this state, she would definitely not be able to finish the walk.
There must be something wrong that she hasn't discovered, or are the mother and daughter still causing trouble?
From a perspective invisible to everyone, the "dark cloud" that had been following Zheng Ran's back from the beginning had now barely condensed into the shape of a human child.
His eyes and mouth were empty and pitch black, and his small body was pressed tightly against Zheng Ran's back. His still transparent arms were placed on her shoulders and around her neck, and the whole little man was hanging behind Zheng Ran.
The black mist around it spread out and blended well with the dark environment. Therefore, no one knew that the black mist was gradually moving forward to surround Zheng Ran.
As the black fog gradually encroached, Zheng Ran felt more and more exhausted. It felt like his limbs were tied with a heavy stone, and he had to drag himself when he walked.
But just when she thought she was about to collapse from exhaustion, a light suddenly appeared in front of her.
Sizzle...sizzle...
The light bulb flickered twice, and the dim light was like the last orange sunrise before the night, bringing people hope of "tomorrow".
Zheng Ran was like a sailor bewitched by the mermaid's song at sea. He looked up at the light infatuatedly, with only one thought in his mind - to get closer.
The heaviness and fatigue in her body were swept away. She had never felt her body so light before. Every step she took felt like she was stepping on cotton.
In the illusion formed by the black fog, all she saw was this warm light, like the sun.
But outside the black fog, there was no light at all. A little girl in red clothes and with two ponytails watched her walk towards her "mother" with a smile on her face.
A smile also appeared on the flat face without lips and nose of the tall figure whose body was charred all over. Unfortunately, it was not beautiful, but only hideous.
She stretched out her voice and kept beckoning, "My...child...come...into...mother's...arms..."
As the distance between Zheng Ran and her continued to shorten, her tone became high-pitched and excited. At one point, she even wanted to reach out to grab Zheng Ran, but she was afraid of the thing that had been clinging to Zheng Ran's back.
It has been fully formed. The hands wrapped around Zheng Ran are no longer transparent, and fangs have grown in its black mouth.
But Zheng Ran knew nothing about all this.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there, she looked at the light, that’s the end, I’m almost there…
She finally reached the light, which stung her eyes so much that tears welled up in her eyes. She subconsciously pursed her lips, the bitterness of the tears spreading in her mouth...
Bitter...?
Zheng Ran’s fans all know that she particularly hates bitter taste, to the point of physical aversion.
Because she once participated in a variety show where the loser of the game had to drink concentrated "bitter fruit" juice. You know, the bitter taste of bitter fruit is simply a violation of biology!
Unfortunately, in that variety show, whichever team Zheng Ran went to, that team would lose the game, and she was also the only person in the audience who drank "bitter fruit" juice from the beginning to the end of the show.
That one incident had directly damaged her. From then on, she was terrified of anything bitter, even the slightest bit. Even after she lost her sense of smell and no longer felt the emotion of "disgust," her body still retained its most primitive rejection reaction.
So at this moment, Zheng Ran, who tasted the salty and bitter taste of tears, felt his stomach churning and suddenly bent over and started to dry heave.
This vomiting woke her up violently.
The first thing Zheng Ran noticed was the hands in front of her. She grabbed the hands and pulled them apart, then threw the owner of the hands to the ground, then staggered back a few steps to create some distance.
All of a sudden, she also saw Nannan and "Mom". There was no warm light anywhere, only their big mouths waiting to share their food!
These things are all in the same group!
When he thought about how he almost did that... Zheng Ran felt the fear for the first time in a long time.
The child she had thrown to the ground had already stood up shakily. Without the weight of the other person lying on her, she now truly felt as light as a swallow.
But when she thought about the long journey she had come, and this thing had been lying on her back...
Can't think too much.
She looked at the three obstacles in front of her. The real end of the alley was behind them.
During the confrontation, "Mom" took the initiative to attack. Her neck could stretch freely, and the waxy yellow edges of her teeth on the exposed gums flashed sharp light. There was no doubt that she could bite off a person's neck with one bite.
Zheng Ran had no weapons and could not look back. She knew that her only option now was to run forward, and she had to run fast enough.
Licking her dry lips, she dodged and ran to the side without hesitation, with the long-necked "mother" and her big mouth chasing after her.
What's even more troublesome is that the little kid is difficult to deal with. That girl always pounces on her and pulls her feet!
The intense running made Zheng Ran gasp for breath, and the sound of teeth colliding and biting behind her made her dare not stop for even a moment.
【What's wrong with the road?! 】
[It’s getting narrower! The road is getting narrower!]
[Woc! Woc! Hurry, run faster! The alley is getting narrower!]
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! How could this happen?! Are they going to crush me?!!"
Zheng Ran also noticed that the two sides of the alley were constantly moving towards the center and the road surface was constantly shrinking. If this continued, she would be squeezed into a meat paste!
"Meow~" At the distant intersection, the black cat that had fled in panic in front of her squatted there and called out to her.
Zheng Ran looked at its dark green eyes, gritted her teeth and increased her speed. The road was getting smaller and smaller, and the narrow space brought a strong sense of oppression. She even began to feel a little breathless.
It was almost there, the alley was only wide enough for two people to walk side by side...
