Chapter 34 Nest, their nest
'hiss...'
Li Xiang, the co-pilot, took a breath, "What is this?"
I slammed on the brakes and shook my head, "I... don't know..."
I've never seen anything like this.
This is like an enlarged version of a spider web, and in the center of the web, the thing wrapped in black mucus looks more like a heart?
"What happened?"
Xiao Leng shouted from the back seat, and the metal partition behind him kept being knocked.
'Dong dong dong - dong dong -'
"Why did you stop the car?"
I finally came to my senses and responded quickly, "It's okay, the road is gone, I'll go another way."
Put the reverse gear on and the van slowly backed up.
I looked in the rearview mirror, and there was nothing strange in the mirror.
The world has changed...
It became impossible to understand with my common sense.
'Puff——'
A clearly visible beating sound.
The flesh and blood wrapped in black mucus suddenly shrank...
'Goooooooooooo...'
Strange sounds like toads came from the residential buildings on both sides.
"This cry...is that kind of thing!"
My expression changed and I accelerated my reversing speed!
'Uh-huh——'
Another crisp cry exploded!
The monster began to awaken between the two residential buildings...
'Uh-huh! Uh-huh——! '
There were screams one after another, and black shadows rushed out of the windows of the building!
On the third floor platform behind the car, a compound-eyed human lizard crashed down.
It's not dark yet!
'Uh-huh! '
A scream sounded! The human lizard fell to the ground and lost its breath, but its body was still twitching!
More and more black shadows collided with the windows crazily!
It's like we turned on a switch, making these things hidden in the dark go crazy instantly.
The van's reverse speed keeps accelerating!
'Boom——'
The rear of the car hit something and we had retreated outside the alleyway.
I turned the steering wheel hard, turned the car around, and drove towards the main road!
In the rearview mirror, I could see black shadows falling down in the alley.
He screamed twice and lost his breath.
The strong light made their bodies twitch violently.
I didn't dare to stay longer and stepped on the accelerator to speed up again.
Drive forward and you will find the city center.
As for the location of our air-raid shelter, we have to go through the city center, then walk on the third ring road, to the edge of the third ring road and the fourth ring road.
The sun was going down, but it hadn't started setting yet.
I just hope we can get back before dark.
However, when we drove into the city center, I was a little dumbfounded.
The explosion of the nuclear bomb almost leveled the tall buildings to the ground.
All he could see were charred ruins.
There is no way to go.
In the ruins, there were faintly charred corpses.
The van drove over the ruins and was shaken by the bumps.
Behind the partition, Xiao Leng and the others heard their exclamations.
My spirit dare not relax...
This is not the center of the explosion, but everything that was destroyed into annihilation is still shocking.
Li Xiang and I remained silent.
And I didn't dare to drive too fast. The ruins were uneven. If we broke down here, someone would need to get out of the car to deal with it.
If it's serious, we might have to walk back if the car is damaged!
Even though the speed was not fast, I still clearly felt that the van's chassis was hit by a hard object.
After walking for a full forty minutes, we finally saw the road in front of us.
As the speed of the car increased, the sun almost completely set.
The watch already shows seven forty...
"We should be able to go back from here." Li Xiang said in a deep voice, "We just have to hurry up."
He stared at the sun sinking into the ridge in the distance, with a somewhat fearful expression.
If it gets completely dark, the whole city is home to that kind of stuff.
'α-0000 Human Lizard (麖jing)'
The initial number, traces can be seen everywhere.
However, when I drove along the road for a while, I suddenly discovered a very fatal problem.
We...can't go back...
We were in the city center and didn't get around to the right location.
This is indeed the edge of the Third and Fourth Ring Road, but it is not in the same location as our air raid shelter, but in the opposite direction.
And where we are now, we have to go back and cross a river.
The location of the bridge across the river passes through the city center.
In other words, we have to go back.
The last ray of light of the setting sun disappeared into the mountains, and the sky began to darken.
Neither Li Xiang nor I looked very good-looking.
Go back, or go forward?
No matter what I choose, I'm afraid I won't be able to get back before dark.
Li Xiang lit a cigarette in silence.
I want one.
The cigarette burns, and the irritation spreads in the lungs...
Nicotine helps me think a lot clearer.
"If you go back, you may not be able to find the right position."
Li Xiang nodded, "Well, there are no bunkers in the ruins, and you can't drive fast. If you are besieged by something like that, you will die."
Our final decision was to find a nearby bunker and make a fire.
After tonight, we will wait for dawn to find our way back.
There are so many factors at night that are beyond your control.
After blowing out the smoke, I released the handbrake and drove along the riverside of the Fourth Ring Road as much as possible to avoid finding the wrong location the next day.
It is not difficult to light a fire with diesel in the car. The key is to find a place that is sheltered from the wind.
The sky was getting dark, and along the road ahead, I actually saw a flash of light...
Um? ?
"Is there someone?!" Li Xiang also discovered it.
The car drove forward at a leisurely pace, and I hesitated a little.
"Would you like to go over?"
I slowed down and stopped a little ways away from the light.
This is a factory built on the roadside. The bright light we see is the white woven lamp outside the factory.
The rolling shutter door was closed, and I didn't know if anyone was inside.
"Go in and take a look?" Li Xiang raised his eyebrows.
Nearly a week has passed since the nuclear explosion. Since the lights are on here, it is obviously unrealistic to say that there is no one inside.
At this moment, the rolling shutter door shook.
'Crash--'
After a sound, the rolling shutter door was pulled up.
A figure came out of it, and he obviously noticed our car.
My heart tightened, and my hand reached for the gun at my waist.
After the nuclear explosion, wars between various forces in the city continued. To have a place here is definitely not a simple role.
What came out was a middle-aged man with a bit of a belly. He looked in our direction for a while with his eyes closed.
"Are you from Meng State?"
The middle-aged man shouted at us at the top of his lungs.
I closed the car window and didn't react.
Rolling down the car window, the middle-aged man smiled when he saw us, "It's getting dark, why don't you come in and rest?"
There was a bit of enthusiasm in his smile.
"Meng Bang?"
I asked in confusion.
"Aren't you from Meng Yucheng in the south?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.
After that, more than a dozen strong men walked out of the rolling shutter door behind him.
Each of them held a long knife in his hand, the blade shining brightly under the white woven lamp.
My face looked slightly solemn and I stepped on the accelerator, ready to start at any time.
And Li Xiang set up a rifle by the car window, and the atmosphere became tense...
