352 Sky Gate (VIII)
When you think about it, it thinks about you
Zhu Ning's calf was crushed for the first time, and the skin and flesh were crushed into foam. But in the eyes of the man with the acne scar, the amount of blood was not even enough to kill a mosquito.
A sharp pain came over Zhu Ning, he gritted his teeth and started the spider silk again, this time it was not aimed at the man with the pimple but at his own leg. Humans are used to crushing insects twice when killing them, but the man with the pimple's huge fingers pressed down on him like a mountain.
After a flash of blood, the spider silk twisted fiercely, cutting off everything below the knees. Zhu Ning got a chance to catch his breath and immediately turned over quickly, from the shoulders to the back.
The man with the acne scar let out a cry and quickly pressed down on her with his fingers. Zhu Ning could feel his body temperature pressed tightly against hers. This was the most terrifying enemy she had ever encountered. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of him. If she wasn't careful, she would die.
She was almost crawling, forgetting that she was bleeding, and didn't care about her posture, she just wanted to leave here immediately.
The back is a blind spot for most people. The man with acne scars is fat and not very flexible. When he reached his right shoulder, he could clearly feel that his fingers could not move forward any further.
This was the only chance to catch his breath. Zhu Ning used the thread of his consciousness to firmly occupy the center of the back, while the man with the acne scar used both hands.
At that moment, the acne-scarred man's back didn't look like a back anymore, but rather a plain. His two fat hands were like huge monsters, and his five fingers became five tentacle-like legs, rushing towards Zhu Ning quickly.
She was hanging on his back as if on a cliff, with nothing under her feet. Her broken leg was bleeding profusely.
She took advantage of the terrain, and the man with the acne scar scratched the bug, leaving red marks all over the place, but he was unable to crush the bug.
Zhu Ning has a clear location in the eyes of the man with the acne hole. As long as she is still alive, the pursuit will not stop.
"Hey, come over here and help me," the pockmarked man said. "On my back."
With only one person, Zhu Ning could barely save his life. After the man with glasses joined the battlefield, the already unfair balance tilted even further.
Zhu Ning was thinking about a problem. She did not share the news about the aerial brain with other teammates. Only Zhu Ning's brain showed the mental pollution pattern.
The second rule means that in the eyes of the brain, Zhu Ning is a dangerous person, while others are not currently, and she is the only one who has been accurately located.
The Sky World only quickly eliminates humans who discover its secrets. What exactly is this secret?
The man with glasses was waiting at the door of the room at first, thinking that the man with acne could handle it alone. Only when he heard the call for help did he move his legs and mutter impatiently, saying that he still needed help.
The man with glasses walked towards Zhu Ning, his steps heavy and making a creaking sound like a death drum, and he left the door of the room.
The shadow of the man with glasses was cast down, completely submerging her.
Boom, boom, boom. Maybe because he was next to the acne-ridden man, Zhu Ning heard a huge heartbeat, like a water pump.
"Hiss--" The man with glasses paused with his right foot. He was wearing a pair of slippers, and there was a sharp pain in the Achilles tendon of his right foot, as if something had broken the skin.
Bai Cheng, holding a sharp axe, had been hiding in the shadow of the wall. She suddenly appeared at this time. Bai Cheng was used to using the axe. She ran quickly and chopped it down with force.
The axe blade split the human's skin, but did not completely cut it off, but this was not just superficial. A little blood flowed out, and the pain was noticeable.
Zhu Ning's face was covered in cold sweat. The helmet magnified the scene in front of her. She couldn't see Bai Cheng's face clearly. Her vision was a little blurry. Bai Cheng was hit by a knife. The next step should be to evacuate because the man with glasses had already lowered his head.
But Bai Cheng didn't leave. She jumped again towards the wound without stopping.
Zhu Ning's pupils shrank. He knew what Bai Cheng was going to do and subconsciously wanted to turn his head away, but he forced himself to face it, not to avoid it, to open his eyes and see, even if it was bad news, even if it meant death.
Bai Cheng's axe hit the wound, and the tendon was embedded under the broken skin. She did not use any strength at all and did not leave herself any room for maneuver.
She knew she was going to die.
"Fuck!" The man with glasses cursed loudly, and his body lost balance in an instant. The pain made his back sweat. He fell to the ground with his heavy body, covering his injured right foot.
With a "puff", the man with glasses had rubbed Bai Cheng's body into the wound while he was unconscious.
"What is this?" The man with glasses looked at the back of his foot. Blood soaked his heel. He found a black spot in the wound. The protective helmet had been flattened, like the shell of a stepped insect.
The helmet, the body, and the wound were completely fused.
He pushed Bai Cheng's body away in disgust, shivering in pain and cursing, "You bastard, you dead bug."
Zhu Ning's heart almost stopped. She could no longer hear the cursing. She understood Pei Shu's words in an instant. Every Bai Cheng was different. If he died in front of her, he was dead.
Why did Pei Shu feel that Bai Cheng later was not the one who died for him at all? Because every Bai Cheng who died for them was unique.
Zhu Ning suddenly remembered that on the flying car, Bai Cheng said that Zhu Ning was her mother. Her personality was influenced by Zhu Ning. She liked socializing, liked to hug Lao Zhao stiffly, made a stiff "V" sign when Zhu Ning took pictures, and made a mechanical giggle when she spoke.
Maybe the next Bai Cheng will have similar personality traits. Zhu Ning knows it's different. This Bai Cheng was raised by her and dug out by herself. When he was just dug out, he looked like pure white porcelain, depicting a little bit of their shadow.
Zhu Ning's head buzzed, and she looked at the man with glasses with almost anger. "I will kill you," was the thought that filled her mind.
When the gap in strength is too big, this idea seems ridiculous, like a bug roaring at humans. They can't hear it, and don't even know why they are angry. They think you are annoying.
The man with glasses stood up with the help of the wall. His hamstring was not completely broken, but he hadn't been injured in many years and the pain was unbearable.
He kept gasping for air and cursing like a child, unaware that Zhu Ning, who was hanging on the pockmarked man's back, wanted to kill him immediately.
He also didn't know that another black dot appeared at his feet. It was the second Bai Cheng.
Bai Cheng and Zhu Ning looked at each other. They couldn't see each other's expressions and nodded.
…
At the same time, two other black spots quietly entered the room at the end of the corridor.
Lin Xiaofeng and Pei Shu heard the noise outside the door. They didn't know what happened exactly, but they could guess.
Lin Xiaofeng is learning to deal with this kind of emotion calmly. Pei Shu understands that after Bai Cheng dies, he will be the next one.
He was prepared to die. This was Zhu Ning's plan. She and Bai Cheng delayed time while Pei Shu and Lin Xiaofeng took another route.
Zhu Ning's initial strategy was fine. When entering an unfamiliar contaminated area, the first thing to do was to explore the map, but they didn't have time to explore the last room.
Zhu Ning's guess was confirmed. She was the only one being targeted. After all, the bug was so small that it was a bit difficult to locate it.
Her second guess was also confirmed.
When Zhu Ning was being chased by the man with the pimples, the man with the eyes did not participate. He just stood at the door of this room, as if guarding the place.
Pei Shu and the others were a little shocked when they entered. There were a lot of wreckage of airplanes or spaceships lying here, and even a hot air balloon.
The plane emerged from beneath the wooden floor, revealing a head with the lower half stuck like an animal carcass stuck in a swamp.
The wreckage of the plane was densely packed and appeared in various positions at strange angles, on the floor, ceiling, and walls. Some were fully exposed, while others only had a tip exposed.
The distribution of the wreckage seemed to follow some pattern, and the gaps between the wreckage looked like another winding corridor.
Zhu Ning did not describe her discovery in detail, and Pei Shu did not immediately associate it with anything when he saw it, but he always felt that it looked familiar.
If Zhu Ning could see it at the scene, this was also the shape of the brain, as if a certain part was missing and it absorbed air transportation to fill it.
Judging from the naked eye, most of the planes are from the old world, and some are even older. They are fighter planes from the war period, which are antiques even in the old world.
Over the years, some air accidents have been extremely mysterious. The planes suddenly disappeared in a certain area without any signal, wreckage, or even the bodies of the passengers. They just disappeared out of thin air.
In the old world, there were even parts of the sky that originally possessed this characteristic, which was said to be magical. Some people claimed that planes that strayed into it had entered another world or traveled to the past.
Now that the plane that disappeared out of thin air this year has been found, they could never have imagined that the sky is a sick brain. When a plane enters this area, it is as if it is attracted by some force and eventually becomes a part of the brain.
This brain has been sick for a long time.
To be precise, it has been eating.
In ancient times, it ate birds in the air. Since human civilization developed to the point where it could fly into the sky, it had a new food source: humans.
Initially the impact may be small, only in a specific area, until the pollution explodes and the maggots eat all the brains, covering the human world like a curtain.
Pei Shu and Lin Xiaofeng were both stunned, unable to integrate the complete information. They had some guesses in their minds, but no one could come to a conclusion.
Is this the end of the world in the sky? Probably not. The farthest they could see was a chaotic darkness, like flowing gasoline enveloping some living thing, shrinking constantly under their gaze.
Maybe the guy with the acne scar has never been there and only hangs out in this area.
The human sixth sense told Lin Xiaofeng that it was very dangerous there, especially when she tried to think about what that thing was, she immediately felt her hair stand on end, as if there were countless eyes at the end of the airplane graveyard.
She immediately stopped thinking and dismissed the idea so as not to attract attention.
Zhu Ning had advised not to try to understand this place. Even if you have a fleeting thought, it is best to suppress it immediately. The less you know, the safer you are.
When you think about it, it thinks about you.
Don't think, it's better to be an idiot. They can't even kill the Acne Man, let alone challenge an even more unknown existence. Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng and the others are only here to help Zhu Ning.
They took action immediately. The truth of the world was not within their scope of investigation. Their purpose this time was to help Zhu Ning find a way out.
The place occupied by the man with glasses and the man with acne scars is their own spaceship. It is quite dilapidated and cannot be compared with industrial products at all. You can tell at a glance that it is something tinkered with by doomsday enthusiasts themselves.
Acne-scarred men like this location, maybe because they were "born" here, or maybe because it is closer to human civilization.
They salvaged supplies from the wreckage of the planes. Some planes were reduced to just skeletons, and most of them were taken away.
They opened a door of their spaceship, as if they were out for an outing. They parked the RV and put up the awning. Inside were two cockpits, and they usually slept in the driver's seat.
Empty cans were scattered all over the ground. The acne-stricken man's barbecue time was suddenly interrupted. There were freshly roasted golden maggots on the grill.
Lin Xiaofeng's eyes swept over the maggots. Originally, she just wanted to find the gas tank. They smelled the aroma of grilled protein outside the door and followed the smell of barbecue all the way here, proving that there was most likely a fire in this room.
Yes, there are simple stoves that use portable gas cylinders.
But she actually found something more useful, half a barrel of gasoline.
Lin Xiaofeng listened to the noises outside the door, not knowing how far the situation had progressed. She hoped Zhu Ning and Bai Cheng could hold on.
The use of huge force made Lin Xiaofeng's face flushed, and Pei Shu stood beside her.
Pei Shu's fire ability is useful, but its disadvantage is that it is too small. The flame burning on his body is not as big as a match, so they need a combustible material.
I forgot which god said, let there be fire.
After everything was ready, Pei Shu took Lin Xiaofeng and quickly retreated. With a click, Pei Shu snapped his fingers.
