He had always looked down on Lu Zhi, and his expression became even uglier after she rejected him. He walked away quickly with a gloomy face.
Lu Zhi didn't care. She wouldn't make herself embarrassed.
The howling cold wind swept away the broken flowers and frost. Lu Zhi and the other two didn't have watches or clocks. The sky outside was getting dark very quickly. It was around five o'clock in the winter.
The temperature dropped rapidly, frost formed on the ice, and the emptiness and silence spread silently.
In the dark night, the hunter wakes up.
Lu Zhi didn't dare to sleep too deeply. She tossed and turned on the mattress covered with a thick blanket. Just as her groggy mind began to feel a little sleepy, the ice layer under her began to vibrate.
Opening her clear black eyes, she looked at the two men, and quickly put everything under her into the space.
It was the night of the tenth day of the game, and there were still two days left until the end of the game.
The vibration under their feet became more and more violent. Many people were awakened and screamed in panic, running around on the ice like headless flies.
The shivering woman had blue corners of her mouth, and her curled body was frozen stiff against the icy wall. The blood circulating in her body was almost frozen, and the hot air she exhaled solidified between her eyebrows.
...
...
Every breath of hot air she exhaled seemed to take her life, and blood flowed from her cracked cheeks.
In the darkness, she keenly felt that something was awakening in the ice beneath her feet.
Like trying to cover up her own faults, the woman tried to hug him tightly, her dry and frosted lips gently opening and closing, her whispering voice shattered in the cold wind: "Don't... don't kill me! Don't kill me!!"
What you fear will come to you.
There was a loud noise coming from the ice beneath her. The woman moved her dry and stiff eyeballs, and the moment she lowered her eyes, a big crack appeared in the ice beneath her.
The cracks spread in all directions like an unstoppable spider web.
“Plop!”
Screams were heard along with the sound of heavy objects falling into the water. The broken ice opened its bloody mouth and swallowed up the people who were fleeing frantically.
Falling into the icy water, the people who were struggling to swim suffered rapid cramps one after another, groaning in pain, and their nasal cavities and ear canals were filled with the cold, salty sea water.
"Puff! Help... Help!"
The twitching of tendons and veins became more and more intense, the flapping force became weaker and weaker, and many people gradually lost consciousness in the freezing water, and their bodies slowly fell to the bottom of the sea.
The Pisces City, frozen by a thick layer of ice, came back to life.
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
Under the dark and cold sea, the black shadows speeding by attracted the attention of many people.
Those who were lucky lay tightly on the narrow ice layer, with the fear of approaching death and the relief of escaping death faintly spread in their eyes, and the ice beneath them was slapped away by the creatures in the water.
The man flying in the air had a face full of fear and terror, and he screamed hoarsely, "Ah——!"
The human-eyed squid that broke out of the water seemed to have become rounder, and its sticky and fat tentacles were covered with barbs. Once they hooked into the tender flesh of humans, they would not let go until they tore off a layer of bloody flesh.
The hair-raising screams that made one's scalp tingle were followed by the sounds of bones breaking and flesh being devoured.
The rustling sound of swallowing was particularly clear in the silent night.
Lu Zhi and the other two were standing far away, and as soon as the situation occurred they quickly rushed to the top of the building above the water and climbed up with great effort.
There were many people following behind them, including players and NPCs.
"Ah! Let me go! Don't leave me! Don't leave me, I beg you!!"
Propping himself up with his arms and climbing to the top, Lu Zhi looked down in the direction of the sound.
The woman's face twisted in pain as her legs swung in the air, her ten fingers clenching the roots of her hair. The thick long hair was pulled hard in the hands of the man with a feminine face.
"I'll give you any amount of money you want! Ah! Let me go, let me go! Please! I was wrong! Qi Nongxi, I shouldn't have killed them!"
As she spoke, the woman's eyes were filled with tears, and two lines of tears flowed down her pitiful face. The men who sympathized with the weak could not help but frown and persuade the men:
"It's already this late, stop killing each other, if you have any grudges, you can solve them after you survive."
"Young man, you are a man, so be broad-minded and don't be so picky with a weak woman."
"Could it be some murderer who escaped from prison? Look at him—!"
Before the man could exclaim in surprise, strong hatred flashed in Qi Nongxi's sharp and vicious eyes, and he clenched his fingers neatly amid the shouts of the woman and the people around him.
The tears that had been accumulating in her eyes burst out, and before the woman fell into the water, she looked at Qi Nongxi with eyes filled with hatred, regret and unwillingness.
She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted. She should have drowned Qi Nongxi when he was a child!
I thought I had found a scapegoat, but I didn't expect that I would be the one to die in the end.
"Murder! He killed someone!"
"Get out of here! He even kills women, will he frame us later?!"
"Get the murderer out!!"
Unexpectedly, Qi Nongxi let go as he was told, without showing any hesitation or sympathy. His cold-bloodedness and hard-heartedness frightened everyone.
They shouted loudly and deliberately surrounded the silent Qi Nongxi.
Glancing at the hideous people from the corner of his eyes, Qi Nongxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly with a sneer in his eyes. He looked at them with mockery and sarcasm, and it seemed as if he was looking through them at himself.
Qi Nongxi chuckled and jumped down decisively.
His life had been clearly arranged by himself, and no accident or salvation could save him.
The farce ended with two rising flowers of blood, and Lu Zhi lowered his eyelids with a complicated expression.
Hiding on the giant round bell on top of the squid's religious building is only a temporary solution and not a permanent solution. The tentacles of the human-eyed squid can support them to climb up and down easily.
A little bit of food could not fill the monsters who had been hungry and frozen for a long time. They all had ferocious looks on their faces, and their pupils, which looked like human eyes, flashed with human mockery and cruelty.
Like a cat playing with frightened mice, the human-eyed squids feel pleasure. They greedily stare at the pale faces of humans who are frightened, and slowly watch the dying struggles of their prey.
One of the squids raised its fat tentacles and made a strange and eerie gurgling sound under its big mouth, which was similar to the gurgling sound that was heard when the ice broke earlier.
Human-eyed squids, in groups of two or three, slowly climbed up from the four corners of the ancient building, making excited gurgling sounds from their mouths as they climbed.
They began to hunt.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket, the probability of all being caught in one basket is too high.
The NPC was circling around like an ant on a hot pan. Seeing the approaching human-eyed squid raising its tentacles, he immediately closed his eyes and made up his mind to jump down.
But they fell into the trap of the human-eyed squid, which floated and circled on the water surface as if performing some ancient and mysterious ritual.
The rhythm of the gurgling sound was well-paced, with the tentacles sometimes slapping the water surface heavily and sometimes splashing lightly, while the tentacles in the air danced in a variety of ways.
Even until the stench and fishy smell surged into his nostrils, Lu Zhi still stood calmly on the tip of the sharp needle, squinting his eyes and staring at every change of the squid's tentacles.
First there was the bird, then the man, there was no pattern or refinement at all.
With his fingers tucked into the warm pocket of his down jacket, he gently stroked the shiny blade of the butterfly knife, secretly calculating the escape route and possibilities.
Those who jumped in hastily naturally and accurately stabbed into the mouth of the human-eyed squid, which was opening its bloody mouth and quietly waiting for the delicious food to fall.
Without even a cry of pain, they were completely digested by the highly corrosive gastric acid mucus in the squid's stomach, leaving not even a bone.
What's both funny and scary is that the human-eyed squid really didn't seem to want to kill them, and it suddenly became quiet when it approached less than three meters away.
Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
