Xie Xuan took a closer look and discovered that this sidewalk did not have the slopes and blind paths reserved for wheelchairs like those in other cities.
The sidewalk and the road are completely separated. Xie Xuan looked over inch by inch and found that there were many sewers on the asphalt road, as if there was a lot of water in this city.
The tide is rising. The pedestrian just now said that the tide will rise in this city.
"Should we wait here for high tide?" Song Zhixian asked.
The sky darkened even further. At this moment, a security guard came out from the pet hospital behind them and said to them, "Did your RV get towed away and you have nowhere to go?"
The security guard was a kind-looking old man. He waved at them and said, "It's very dangerous on the road at night. It's too late to find a hotel now. If you don't mind, you can stay here for the night."
Xie Xuan exchanged glances with the others, then stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your help."
Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian had just been to the pet hospital. There was no danger inside. Now everyone had gone home after get off work, and only the pets still in the hospital were locked in cages.
But without exception, these pets looked very anxious. They kept clinging to their cages, which made them feel a little irritated.
The old man led them to a small glass room next to the hall, which was used for owners waiting for their pets' surgery to be completed.
"Have you eaten?" asked the old man.
Xie Xuan and the others' food was in the car, and it was impossible for them to take off their helmets to eat in the field, but Xie Xuan still said, "We have eaten."
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to go eat. If I don't eat now, I won't have time when the tide comes in."
After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared behind the door, leaving Xie Xuan and the others no chance to ask any further questions.
The time on the terminal was still valid. They had been in the area for almost three hours. It was still morning when they came in, so it should be afternoon outside now, but it was already dark here.
Maybe it was because the old man kept talking about eating, but Xie Xuan actually felt a little hungry.
Apparently, she wasn't the only one feeling this way. Yang Jiayue looked at the drinking water dispenser in the corner and said, "Can I have some water? I'm a little hungry and thirsty."
Not being able to eat food in the domain is a principle that any human living in the wasteland era must keep in mind, but Yang Jiayue's mental state is obviously abnormal now.
After she said that, she actually stood up and went to get some water.
There was a disposable plastic cup next to the drinking water machine. Yang Jiayue took the cup to get water. She hadn't taken off her helmet yet, and Xie Xuan stood up to stop her.
Only a little water flowed out of the pipe and stopped, accumulating in a thin layer at the bottom of the cup. It looked a little red and seemed not very clean, but before Xie Xuan could see clearly, the last bit of light outside the window suddenly disappeared.
There was no light in the room, so Xie Xuan immediately turned on the light on his helmet. Yang Jiayue had already taken off his helmet and was about to drink some water.
Xie Xuan immediately slammed the cup away and put Yang Jiayue's helmet back on her head.
The other four lights behind them also lit up and focused on them. The cold white light shone brightly on the white tiles, and also illuminated the out-of-place red on the floor clearly.
There were several twisting red nematodes. They were twisting their bodies on the ground and drilling into the crack in the door.
Everyone's eyes were focused on these insects, but no one stepped on them to death. Instead, they let them crawl out of the crack in the door.
The light followed them to the door, and suddenly a pale and deformed face appeared.
Xie Xuan was startled, but soon the face stepped back a little. This was the old man who brought them in and said he was going to have dinner.
"Why is it such a waste?" The old man muttered as he picked up the still-twisting red nematode from the ground and put it into his mouth. He chewed it twice, looking particularly enjoyable.
The people here are actually eating red nematodes. Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment. Why did she use the word "actually"? Isn't it normal for humans to eat worms?
Xie Xuan still felt something was wrong. Her mental level had dropped to 70. She gave herself an injection of sedative, and her mind finally felt a little clearer.
They couldn't waste any more time in this damn place, or they would be infected by the spirit and start eating bugs sooner or later.
Xie Xuan had a hunch that once they ate the bugs, they would be completely infected.
"Inject a tranquilizer," Xie Xuan said. "Humans shouldn't eat insects."
Everyone except Song Zhixian was injected with sedatives. Ding Qiaoyun had run out of sedatives and was in a very dangerous situation.
"We need to get out of here. We can't waste any more time looking for clues." Xie Xuan turned and looked at the others. "Everyone, prepare. Suppress with fire."
Xie Xuan took the lead and pushed the door open to walk out. The old man staggered and said behind them: "Don't go to the road. It's dangerous when the tide comes in."
This is like the NPC in the game, telling players where to find the boss to pass the level.
Xie Xuan and the others left the pet hospital and walked directly to the road.
There were no street lights outside, it was pitch black, and the tide was rising from the sewer.
The only lights in the dark world were the five lamps above their heads, but they could clearly hear the gurgling sound of water bubbling up and smell the faint fishy smell of water.
There was more and more water on the road, and their lights began to sway on the water.
They finally saw clearly what was under the water and coming up from the sewer with the tide. It was red nematodes.
The red nematodes, like silk threads, dyed all the water red, just like green algae growing luxuriantly under intense sunlight.
The water was flowing, the red nematodes were twisting, and everything seemed very chaotic and distorted.
At this moment, they suddenly realized that there was no moon above their heads.
Because the moon is in the water.
In the middle of the road, there is a red moon made up of countless red nematodes, twisting and growing. It is like the center of a whirlpool, pulling the red nematodes in the water over.
What should they do?
Xiao Yao is basically useless in the water. The red nematodes have no heartbeat, and Song Zhixian is useless. The remaining Yang Jiayue has no combat power, and Ding Qiaoyun has limited combat power.
It depends on Xie Xuan herself.
"Let me see if I can devour it." Xie Xuan said, "You guys cover me."
But the only ones who answered her were Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian.
Xie Xuan turned her head and found that Yang Jiayue was gone. Ding Qiaoyun was looking at a place sideways, staring blankly and not saying a word.
