354 Sky Gate (End)
◎Look, there is a door in the air◎
Bai Cheng fired a shot at the maggot's head, and the maggot was smashed to pieces as soon as it emerged. Lin Xiaofeng followed her movements and fired another shot from behind.
Gunfire rang out, but there were too many maggots and they were too dense to kill them all. Bai Cheng shouted, "Go!"
Lin Xiaofeng immediately realized that the ear canal was like a mountain path. Its small size was an advantage after entering the aerial world, and it was convenient to hide anywhere.
Lin Xiaofeng grabbed Pei Shu's waist, folded him in half and held him in his arms, as if he was wearing a piece of clothing.
Then she swung out an iron hook. They came in this time with almost all their belongings, at least they had all the tools.
The iron hook was embedded firmly in the ear bone. Lin Xiaofeng was hanging by the iron hook, facing the top of the ear canal and his back to the wriggling maggots.
She took the opportunity to glance down. The maggots seemed to be running for their lives. In fact, they were not coming towards them at all. They were huddled together like a flock of mad sheep.
Calling it a sheep is still cute. That thing is wriggling forward, and after looking at it for a long time, you will realize that it is a maggot.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Bai Cheng in front of her again. Bai Cheng was in a similar posture to her, but this Bai Cheng was too new. His limbs were not very flexible and were still in the stiffness stage.
Bai Cheng asked: "Is it convenient for you?"
She must be referring to Pei Shu. It is inconvenient for a little girl to take care of an adult, so this matter should be left to Bai Cheng.
When Lin Xiaofeng heard her speak, he thought to himself that it was really different. This was not the Bai Cheng from before. Even though their memories were the same, she could continue the conversation without even a pause, as if she had never left.
It was pitch black all around, relying solely on the night vision helmet. Lin Xiaofeng shook his head, thinking that Bai Cheng couldn't see, and whispered, "I can do it."
She held Pei Shu very steadily. Pei Shu had just been set on fire and was half dead. Lin Xiaofeng didn't feel anything when she first caught him, but now she realized that Pei Shu was a little hot, and sparks were popping all over his body.
The maggots ran very fast and finished running after a while. They crawled out of the corpse's ear and were pupating in the direction of the man with glasses, hoping to form a new brain there.
After the maggots entered the man with glasses' body, the whites of his eyes kept rolling around, as if he was possessed by a ghost, but Lin Xiaofeng didn't see any of this.
They jumped down from above the ear canal, and the further they went in, the more disgusting it became. There were corpses of maggots everywhere, some of which had been blown up, with half of their bodies in cricket pupae. The mucus and blood inside the maggots were mixed in an indescribable way.
Lin Xiaofeng walked through the ear canal. The road inside narrowed. After passing through this narrow passage, the top suddenly widened again, as if he had arrived inside the head.
There are traces of maggots in front of my eyes. The maggots have run away, and empty pupae shells are left in their place, like the steel skeleton of a building.
Maggots once huddled together here, serving as a brain. Men with acne scars may sometimes feel an itch in their heads, but it's hard to describe what it feels like.
You can't just say to someone, "Hello, I think I have maggots in my brain. Can you help me take a look?" Yes, it's right here. You can see it by looking in along your ear.
Yes, yes, yes, there is a maggot inside looking at you, don’t be afraid, just help me pull it out, thank you.
After killing the man with the acne scar, Lin Xiaofeng began to pay attention to this man's past and couldn't help but feel that he was a bit sad.
Bai Cheng was exploring the way ahead, walking in silence, with only occasional gunshots. If he saw a wriggling maggot that was about to die, he would give it a quick kill.
Lin Xiaofeng felt that every wriggling maggot was like a human. They seemed to be seeking death and would feel relieved if they really died.
Later, the gunshots became less frequent, and the place became cleaner and cleaner. They arrived at the cleanest place in their brains.
This time, Lin Xiaofeng found Zhu Ning quickly. He saw his back from a distance. Zhu Ning was limping on his right leg and standing in front of a door.
The door was embedded in a brown pupa shell, and looked like it had been renovated. The wallpaper was a brain pattern, and the overall color was brown. There were white traces left in the outline of the brain, which was where the maggots had been.
When she saw the door, Lin Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat, as if a dying person was being rescued by a doctor. A kind doctor pressed hard on her chest and gave her first aid.
Lin Xiaofeng immediately came to his senses. The door was the way out, a door with the same proportions as theirs.
Now that the door was open, the air from outside couldn't get in, as if the two worlds were always separated by a transparent wall. Zhu Ning wasn't excited and didn't know what he was looking at.
Isn't there a road outside? Is there another world behind the door?
Lin Xiaofeng had already prepared for the worst, so he grabbed Pei Shu and walked over. After seeing the door clearly, he was also stunned, with the same posture as Zhu Ning.
The door seemed to suddenly open in the sky. It was the same color as the sky, with only a square outline and a delicate metal handle.
Outside the door was blue sky and white clouds, but there was no sandstorm, it was not the orange sky when they first came in, and there was no flying car hovering there before.
The flying car is out of gas? Where is their car?
Lin Xiaofeng wanted to turn on the secondary brain and use the automatic driving function of the flying car, but as expected, there was no signal at all.
Is the sky moving? Or are they moving to other places?
"Give it to me." Zhu Ning's calm voice sounded.
Lin Xiaofeng's wrist felt lighter, and Zhu Ning took the half-dead Pei Shu. She was not a doctor, and she felt a little troubled looking at Pei Shu. There were sparks on Pei Shu's body, and she didn't know whether to put them out or let him burn. Zhu Ning lifted the inside of her wrist and saw that Pei Shu's vital signs were still there.
As long as he's not dead, that's okay.
Zhu Ning looked around at his broken team. Bai Cheng had died again, which made him unhappy.
Zhu Ning's calm voice sounded: "How long have you been here?"
This question stirred the atmosphere, and Lin Xiaofeng came back to his senses, as if the backbone had finally taken charge, and this retired soldier could still move on.
Lin Xiaofeng completely gave up. She liked Zhu Ning to be in charge of things. She just did whatever Zhu Ning said. She was too lazy to care.
Lin Xiaofeng's tense body relaxed a little, and then he realized the pain in the wound on his body and gasped.
Zhu Ning rubbed Lin Xiaofeng's little head and said, "Go get some medicine."
Zhu Ning will clean up the mess and find a way out of even the most bizarre situation. Bai Cheng quickly replied, "If time hadn't been distorted, we'd have been here for thirty-six hours, which would have been faster than expected."
"It's less than forty hours, which is considered exceeding the task target." Zhu Ning added.
After Zhu Ning finished speaking, she held the door frame with one hand. Lin Xiaofeng widened her eyes. Zhu Ning had already stretched out half of her body. She quickly grabbed Zhu Ning's body, fearing that she would fall from the height accidentally.
A strong wind blew immediately, and Zhu Ning's outstretched half of her body swayed in the wind. She held on to the door frame. Outside was the blue sky and white clouds. The thin clouds were like ribbons. Below was a forest. A huge mirror-like lake could be seen, but there was nothing else.
There was no speeding car passing by and no one to ask for help.
It turns out they didn't shrink, they just entered a giant brain.
Zhu Ning took a deep breath and repeated it twice. Her body seemed to be cut in half. Her legs in the aerial world seemed to be stuck in stagnant water, and only her upper body in the real world could feel the wind.
After breathing in the fresh air, Zhu Ning released the suppressed emotions in his heart. Then he crawled back and reported the situation: "There are no water droplets below, and there are no deep pits."
The group of water droplets is a landmark. If you look down, you can see a huge deep pit. That thing was caused by bombing and it will not be filled up overnight.
"This place is like a maze. The exit and the entrance are not in the same place. We can't go back." Zhu Ning said cautiously.
The sky is leaky, with doors of all sizes opening up everywhere. The reactions from different entrances are different. The man with the acne scar and the others are a bit lucky to be chosen by this sick brain, like two selected gatekeepers.
Zhu Ning had glimpsed a corner of the world's secrets, which was enough. He just needed to hand the information over to Huo Wenxi.
It's absolutely impossible to recover that flying car, which is a pity. Lin Xiaofeng modified it himself, and Pei Shu's hand-knitted ball of wool is also on it.
Zhu Ning: "We didn't kill the source of the pollution. The next attack may come soon. Pei Shu is seriously injured. Xiaofeng and I are also injured. We need to leave immediately."
Although it was in the pockmarked man's mind, he could feel that the corpse probably couldn't hold on for much longer, and the rustling and wriggling sounds were very loud.
Zhu Ning listened and realized that maggots and flies must be eating the body of the man with the pimple. In this world, everything is like a cycle. People live by eating maggots when they are alive, and their bodies have to be fed back after they die.
The question now is how to leave, this is undoubtedly ten thousand meters high.
Lin Xiaofeng suddenly asked: "Dancing?"
She said sheepishly, "The protective suit has a parachute."
The protective suit is resistant to high temperatures, contains oxygen, and can be used for diving and emergency landing, so it is worn as a treasure outside the wall.
Zhu Ning raised an eyebrow, thinking that the little girl was really brave. Before Zhu Ning could say anything, Bai Cheng said, "Jump!"
Zhu Ning wanted to laugh. When she laughed, the wounds on her body hurt, but there was no good news in such a disgusting mind.
For a moment, the team looked like they were here to go skydiving. Zhu Ning had always wanted to experience skydiving in his previous life but had never tried it before. He didn't expect to have his first time here.
No one knew what kind of pollutants they would encounter after jumping down, but everyone's tone was relaxed.
Just jump. You can't go back and eat maggots anyway.
Lin Xiaofeng actually offered to take the lead. Bai Cheng helped her check whether the parachute was intact, and then took off Pei Shu's landing device and gave it to Lin Xiaofeng, giving the little girl double insurance. If one didn't work, she could use the other.
Zhu Ning wanted to speak up for Pei Shu, what kind of differential treatment was this?
No matter which Bai Cheng, they are all very nice to Lin Xiaofeng, and their preference is particularly blatant, taking advantage of the fact that Pei Shu can't speak to bully him.
However, Pei Shu was also very nice to Lin Xiaofeng, and would take the initiative to give the girl the space when he could speak.
Lin Xiaofeng accepted it and listened carefully to the operating procedures twice. She had received training before going out and also participated in a mock exam. It was her first time to actually use it, so she was a little nervous.
She stood at the door, the world beneath her feet seemed so far away, everything seemed so small. Lin Xiaofeng suddenly became scared at this step. She had clearly suggested taking the lead, so she wanted to prepare herself mentally.
I'll take it slow, give me a minute.
Before she could figure it out, her back suddenly tightened and Bai Cheng kicked her from behind without mercy.
Lin Xiaofeng screamed and fell down, the world was spinning and she was nervous. She hurriedly pressed the button in her hand. After pressing it twice, the parachute opened with a bang, like a small mushroom in the air.
Zhu Ning: “…”
She didn't know how to describe it. Did Bai Cheng learn this from her? His personality was a bit bad.
It turns out that Bai Cheng's gentleness and care in the beginning were all a disguise, just to make Lin Xiaofeng relax his guard so that he could kick her later.
Bai Cheng retracted her foot expressionlessly, her movements revealing coldness. Although she threw away Pei Shu's parachute, she took the responsibility proactively. She had more experience and had no problem leading people.
Zhu Ning asked, "Is the weight enough for two people?"
Bai Cheng said stiffly, "No, I'll be his meat cushion."
Zhu Ning initially thought Bai Cheng was joking, but later she realized that this sister was not joking at all and was serious. Anyway, she would not suffer any loss by giving someone else a cushion.
Zhu Ning: "I can dance by myself, you don't need to kick me. Please go first."
Bai Cheng jumped without saying a word, carrying Pei Shu. Another small mushroom exploded in the air, right near Lin Xiaofeng.
Zhu Ning held onto the door frame and looked back. The maggots seemed to have almost finished eating the body. The head was crawling all over with maggots. Zhu Ning saw only one eye.
The eye looked at her through the glasses, as if it was an eyeball that Zhu Ning saw when she first opened the door. It should be the repair of the damaged brain of the man with glasses. He climbed up to look at his companion's body. The man with glasses squatted down, staring at the little bugs inside through his devastated brain.
But Zhu Ning knew that it was not the man with glasses who was watching, but his brain, whose eyes were dull and revealed an inhuman feeling.
The surroundings are shaking, and maggots are about to eat it. This is not something I can afford to offend.
Zhu Ning stepped back step by step, never taking his eyes off her from beginning to end. He kept staring at her and looked back without any fear.
She stepped out of the door with her broken right foot, feeling the strong wind outside. When the maggots gnawed at her eyes, her hand holding the door frame loosened.
Crash——
Zhu Ning leaned back, feeling weightless. The scene in front of him suddenly became distant, as if the focus was quickly adjusted when shooting a video. The eye became smaller and smaller, and the door that opened in the air gradually shrank into a dot.
The parachute opened and the third mushroom exploded. Zhu Ning stopped looking up and searched for the other two small mushrooms.
New patterns unfolded unconsciously in her mind. The mark of brain pollution was still there, and it seemed to be permanently embedded in Zhu Ning's brain.
After a while, a path covered the walnut-shaped brain, like a road outlined with a black sketch pen above the brain. The road to utopia unfolded before my eyes, and a devilish whisper sounded, "Go to utopia."
Zhu Ning had gotten used to it. Although he didn't know where this was, it was very close to Utopia, almost right in front of him.
Zhu Ning couldn't predict what dangers he would face after landing, so he closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment of flying.
The landing took longer than expected, and not long after she left, two flying cars passed overhead.
They had been flying for two hours and were puzzled, asking, "Why are we still here? There's no way around it."
"Look, there's a door in the air."
"This is weird. We've run into a contaminated area."
"Want to go in and take a look?"
They opened that door and walked into the rotting brain.
