The corpse's head was broken in half and stuck together, and her eyeballs were silent, making her look particularly eerie and terrifying in the darkness.
A dark figure was gnawing at the lower half of the corpse with gusto. As if sensing the girl's terrified gaze, he poked his head out, his hideous, dark-blue face grinning at her, and a few pieces of the meat in his mouth fell out.
His eyes were filled with bloodthirsty desire, and he had become a monster that had lost its humanity. The monster used his hands and feet to climb out of the window and rushed to the girl's home.
The girl reacted immediately, her will to survive strong, and with a snap, she closed the window. At the same time, the bloodthirsty monster also crashed into the window glass, roaring angrily and falling to the ground 16 floors away.
The window glass was mottled with blood, and it was impossible to tell whose it belonged to.
In the corner, the girl curled up helplessly, her eyes filled with fear and hesitation. She murmured, "Dad, Mom... When will you come back? Tongtong is so scared."
"Pa pa" someone knocked on the window.
The girl stiffened and curled up even more. Her body trembled, and after gathering herself, she slowly raised her eyes and looked towards the glass window behind her. It was a living person.
A normal-looking living person.
The man outside the window was tied up with ropes, with a strong and powerful figure and a resolute expression. He gestured to the girl to open the window and let him in. The girl shook her head in fear, she was afraid that some monster would rush out and take her away.
The man was helpless. His floor was full of people who had turned into monsters. He had no choice but to go downstairs to survive. Fortunately, he brought paper and pen, otherwise he would not know how to communicate with the girl.
He wrote on the paper: "Uncle, that floor is full of monsters. Let me in and I can protect you." He wanted to find a house with strong young men, but then he thought, if they had a disagreement, he might be pushed out to take the blame. This little girl couldn't hurt him anyway, so he decided to stay with her for the time being.
"Bang!... Bang!..." At this moment, a crashing sound came from the door. The girl, frightened, immediately covered her mouth, stifling the scream that was about to burst out. Her clear eyes closed, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she let out a small cry.
"I'm so hungry... I'm so hungry..." A woman's scream was heard outside the door, accompanied by the sound of banging.
The man outside the window looked startled. He quickly wrote another note and knocked on the window to signal the girl to look over. The girl twitched her ears and buried her head between her knees. She didn't respond, nor did she look up.
Seeing her like this, the man knocked on the window again. He looked around fiercely. If he couldn't get into the house, he was afraid he would face an aerial fight.
The girl's heart was filled with mixed emotions. She pursed her lips and glanced cautiously out the window again. At least he was the first living person she had seen in a while. His gaze fell on the paper, a sign of concern for her and a warning of his own safety.
She turned to look at the iron door, which was still being banged, gritted her teeth, and quickly stepped forward, opening the door halfway in the space the man had left. The man immediately climbed in and cut the rope.
After closing the window, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead. He patted the girl's head comfortingly and whispered, "Don't be afraid." Then he pulled a long stick from his back and moved lightly towards the iron gate.
I came to the door and put my eyes to the peephole to look out. What I saw was a woman covered in blood. Her eyeballs were completely black, and her skin was covered with ugly lines and bulges. Her skin was dark and rough. Her mouth opened and closed, and you could vaguely see tiny pieces of blood and flesh from inside. She muttered, "I'm so hungry... so hungry..."
Even the men who had seen blood frowned at such close observation. He gripped the long stick tightly in his hand and gestured for the girl to hide in the room. After the girl obediently ran into the room, he took a deep breath and flung open the iron door.
-
The woman in the cave suddenly woke up, gasping for breath and holding onto the wall, her pupils slightly shrunken.
She glanced at her teammates and saw that they were resting against the wall, their faces full of fatigue. Seeing her like this, the teammate who was watching the situation asked with concern, "Are you having a nightmare again?"
Wu Yue forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
A teammate came over and patted her shoulder, sighing, "It's obvious you're dreaming about your childhood again."
Wu Yue took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Is there anything going on outside?"
Her teammate replied, "Not yet. It's eerily quiet around here." Seeing her pale face, the teammate added, "Why don't you get some more sleep? It's still two hours before your shift change."
Wu Yue shook her head and whispered softly, "No need. You know I usually can't sleep in this situation."
She patted her teammate's shoulder and said, "You go and rest, I'll be on guard. I'll call you if there's anything."
Seeing her serious expression, her teammates understood that she really didn't want to sleep, but they were still worried about her, "How about I stay with you?"
Wu Yue: "If I were afraid, I wouldn't take the initiative to carry out the mission, don't worry."
The teammate nodded and said, "Okay, call us if anything happens."
Wu Yue: "Yeah."
Yan Jili and Chen Ruolan walked side by side in the dark night, followed by a group of soldiers. Their footsteps were so light that they made no sound in the forest.
Yan Jili held a biological detector in his hand, a smart tool that Tang Anan had started using wholesale in the base a few years ago. With it, they could detect creatures in the dark or hidden places, whether they were humans or mutant animals.
Chen Ruolan whispered, "It's very quiet around here. There's something wrong with the magnetic field here. The compass direction is messed up."
Yan Jili looked at the pitch-black surroundings. At this moment, a soldier frowned as he felt something wet and sticky sliding slowly around his ankle.
He cautiously stopped and remained motionless. His teammates noticed his abnormality and asked softly, "What's going on?"
Through the dim moonlight, the soldier watched his pupils shift downward and his eyebrows twitch. His teammates, who had trained together for so long, immediately understood what he meant.
Just as he was about to see what was under his feet, his ankle was suddenly entangled by a foreign object.
For a moment, from a small part to the majority of soldiers, they all stopped and did not move forward.
Yan Jili was the first to notice something strange behind him and stopped to look back. Chen Ruolan followed his gaze and saw countless vines on the ground slowly wrapping around their feet!
Because the higher the level of their supernatural powers, the stronger their physical senses are, allowing them to see the mutated vines on the ground as clearly in the dark as in the daytime.
