Chapter 18
Although Chen Jing has status in this world, he understands that it is all false. At least he doesn't know more about this world than this fool.
"Ding--"
The elevator arrived quickly.
Chen Jing and Wei Nan walked out side by side.
"Boss is actually accompanying you to a dangerous place. Don't complain to the old lunatic when you turn around!"
"I'm not that stingy."
"But I always feel uneasy... How about you swear a poisonous oath to me? I will sue you and die, like being hit by a dump truck when I go out!"
"You are too poisonous..."
"What kind of poison is this! Hey! The boss is telling you something serious! Can you stop messing around... Huh? Who is that person!"
"You haven't seen him either?"
"No, have you seen it?"
"No……"
"He's sneaky in broad daylight... just follow him, and the boss will take you to learn about his ways!"
The first time they walked out of the corridor, Chen Jing and Wei Nan spotted a sneaky figure.
Judging from his height, he should be that of a child, maybe not as tall as Chen Jing's thighs.
Wearing a yellow hooded raincoat, he was standing in front of the 0001 house with them on his back, aiming a wire at the keyhole and stabbing it hard.
"Why...not open..."
"strangeness……"
"Hurry... drive..."
"To... catch up..."
"Woooo...why...can't open it..."
Just when Xiao Yuyi racked his brains and couldn't open the security door, a wise and curious voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Master, what do you do?"
"..."
Xiao Yuyi paused and turned back stiffly.
Wei Nan had no reaction when he saw its true appearance, but Chen Jing was frightened by it.
It was a human skeleton.
There were still two bunches of white fire burning in the empty eye sockets.
"It's strange..." Wei Nan grabbed Xiao Yuyi's neck and slowly lifted it up, "The old descendants in the wasteland dared to run into the city... and they found some smuggler to smuggle in. ?”
Saw this scene.
Chen Jing always felt familiar.
I even feel that we are in the same boat.
Another one being choked...
"Let go! Let go!!" The little skeleton struggled and almost cried, "That thing!! Chase me!! Find me right now!! Come here!!!"
"What the hell..." Wei Nan picked his ears with his free hand, looking nonchalant.
"Pursuit?"
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
at this time.
Chen Jing found that his face suddenly felt cold, as if something was dripping on his face.
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face, then looked down again...
Dark red, sticky.
Like blood.
At this moment, Wei Nan no longer smiled playfully, as if he had changed. He casually threw the little skeleton in the raincoat out, with fierceness and vigilance in his eyes.
"What is this……"
Chen Jing looked up along Wei Nan's line of sight in surprise and saw a strange humanoid creature lying on the ceiling.
The creature was not wearing any clothes, and the skin all over its body was as rotten as minced meat. The bulging pustules were unevenly distributed on its face. It was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.
On its humanoid torso, there is a "big"-shaped crack, extending from the neck to the feet, left and right, and into the palms of the hands...
Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that this is its mouth.
The cracks are densely covered with sharp teeth like animal teeth, and there are several rows stacked in the cracks.
When it opened the "big"-shaped slit on its body to breathe, Chen Jingzhen felt as if he had traveled to Resident Evil... Isn't this an enhanced humanoid version of a zombie dog? !
"You actually brought this thing from the wasteland into the city..."
"It! Chase!"
"This polluted species looks familiar..." Wei Nan looked at the monster lying on the ceiling and murmured, "I think I've seen it in a popular science program..."
"What is a polluting species?" Chen Jing was confused.
"The polluted species are those old descendants who were polluted by the wasteland. They lost control and became degenerate creatures...I remembered! This one seems to be called a man-tie!"
Wei Nan explained casually, his eyes still wary.
"There are all kinds of strange types of pollution in the wasteland... This thing is the more common one... and it's also more dangerous..."
"so smart?"
Chen Jing couldn't help but become nervous and began to approach Wei Nan cautiously.
"Can you beat it?"
"Don't be afraid, I can deal with this thing."
Wei Nan, who had a bruised nose and face, sniffed and said confidently.
"The host said in the show that although human beings are naturally gluttonous, they only eat marked prey and generally do not harm others."
"mark?"
"right!"
Wei Nan imitated the tone of experts on TV and gave Chen Jing a serious introduction to monsters from the wasteland.
"If you accidentally get stained by the liquid secreted by a human being, it is equivalent to being marked by it. No matter how far you run, it will smell the smell and hunt you down!"
"Then... the thing that dripped on my face just now was..." Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's right! You've been targeted by it!" Wei Nan said without hesitation, not caring about Chen Jing's increasingly ugly expression.
"For now, you and the little skeleton monster are both being targeted, and only I am safe!"
Although Chen Jing has encountered many strange things in this world, no encounter makes him feel more dangerous than this one.
Because he felt a kind of brutal and pure animality from the human glutton, just like being targeted by a beast that is about to choose a person to devour, and there is no possibility of any negotiation with it.
"Boss... you shouldn't watch someone die without helping, right..."
"Of course not."
As the boss, Wei Nan is very loyal and always thinks about the little brother he just recognized.
"I'm looking for an opportunity, seize the flaw, and kill it with one blow!"
"Then try to find it as quickly as possible... I don't know if it's my illusion... I always feel that it's staring at me and drooling..."
"No need to feel." Wei Nan's eyes were like torches, and his face was full of wisdom, "It's just drooling!"
"Why doesn't this thing move..."
Chen Jing stared at the human glutton on the ceiling with his eyes fixed, and still walked towards Wei Nan lightly.
"The human-gnawing beast is cunning by nature. It almost never attacks its prey from the front, so as long as we make sure we don't turn our backs to it..."
Hearing what Wei Nan said, Chen Jing was also sighing in his heart.
I didn't expect that this monster's habits are actually the same as those of cats?
Then as long as we don't turn our backs to it, it should be...
Hmm?
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment.
Because he found that among the three people present, Wei Nan had already started to retreat to the wall while talking, and the little skeleton that she threw out was moving faster, and had long been motionless like a sculpture leaning against the anti-theft door of No. 0002's house.
So...
Now only my back is empty?
Suddenly.
Chen Jing heard a click.
It seemed that something fell from a high place.
The next second.
He heard a heavy and suppressed breathing sound coming from behind him.
"See! I said it was cunning! Once the back is exposed, it will definitely..."
"Okay, I know it is cunning."
Chen Jing looked ashen and didn't want to say a word.
If there was a chance, he wanted to call the old man and let him prepare himself for the death of his son. He might not have the chance to be filial to him.
"Boss, please tell me this kind of thing earlier in the future."
"Next time, I will!"
Chapter 16 Human Tie
Is Wei Nan kidding me?
Probably.
I don't think she is the kind of person who will not help someone in need.
But why do I always feel so scared...
Chen Jing was still hypnotizing himself in his heart that "the situation is under control", but the human tie behind him obviously didn't have the patience.
It was greedy by nature, especially for living things.
Although Chen Jing was not an old descendant, but just an ordinary person, for some reason it always felt that Chen Jing had a very good smell.
That smell didn't seem like meat to it.
There was no fishy smell of flesh and blood, but a kind of... fragrance?
It was like a very hungry person who suddenly saw a fruit full of juice and fragrance. It wanted to swallow Chen Jing directly.
Although Chen Jing couldn't see the mantie's movements because he had his back to it, he could imagine from the sound of something sticky being torn apart... the monster must have opened its mouth.
"Shh."
Wei Nan was still comforting Chen Jing. Compared to her previous nervousness, she seemed to have gradually calmed down.
"It's not ready to bite you yet."
"Are you sure?"
"As long as you don't talk."
"..."
