Would a person like him be lonely?
The "twin souls" he mentioned could not possibly be referring to her, right?
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, she heard a sudden scream behind her. The scream lasted only for a brief moment before it disappeared into the thick fog. The scream disappeared so quickly that she could not even tell whether the person was a man or a woman. However, Silvan gritted his teeth and uttered two words, "Meme!"
Oh right, other than that boy, there might not be a third person in Shambala who could make a sound.
"He must have moved the person whose face was hollowed out," Lin Sanjiu sighed.
Lin Sanjiu sighed. What made her feel that something was amiss was that she wasn't worried about the boy at all.
It was not that she did not care about the boy's life or death, but she was not afraid of any danger that might happen in this place. However, just as Silvan said, her next actions had to be the opposite of what she wanted to do.
After Meme carried the fainted member back to the train, he probably ran out for the second time. Lin Sanjiu and Silvan exchanged glances and nodded. Then, they jumped up and dashed towards the direction they came from.
"Wait, this is for you!"
She stopped in her tracks and turned around, just in time to catch a small black shadow flying towards her. Silvan was still half-squatting on the ground as he said in a low voice, "It doesn't need your will to activate it. Be careful, and don't disturb the things under the ground."
Lin Sanjiu nodded. She did not even have the time to see what it was, so she turned around and ran.
She did not bring a flashlight in her hurry, and she was afraid that her [Tornado Whip] would alert the enemy, so she called out her [Ability Polishing Agent]. The silvery-white light shone through the layers of fog, faintly revealing the vague scene behind the fog. At least she did not trip again. She walked with difficulty among the bodies on the ground. She called out "Meme" a few times, but she did not hear any response from the boy.
As she walked, she checked the faces of the people on the ground. It seemed like she was heading in the right direction. The people that she and Silvan flipped over were still lying on the ground, leaning against each other. If she walked further ahead, she would reach where Yu Yuan was.
Lin Sanjiu paused, thought about it, and turned back.
She was not worried about Meme, and she was still unwilling to walk out from the bottom of the sunken ground. Even though she knew that she couldn't act according to her will, since she didn't see anything, she naturally didn't feel the urgency to find him.
Lin Sanjiu raised her leg and found a gap between the bodies lying on the ground. Then, she raised her leg again. Just like that, Lin Sanjiu trudged towards the place where she had parted ways with Silvan. In the silver light of the [Ability Polishing Agent] that was soaked in mist, she could already vaguely see that familiar figure.
She opened her mouth.
"Silvan!"
Lin Sanjiu heard her own shrill scream suddenly explode in the silence, piercing through the thick fog, "Silvan!"
She stood rooted to the ground, her mouth still open.
That was indeed her voice, but it didn't come from her throat.
No, to be more precise, the "Silvan" actually came from her throat as well, but it was the sound she had used a few minutes ago when she was looking for him. It was as if someone had recorded and replayed it. The sound lingered far and near in the gray fog, making it hard to tell where the source of the sound came from.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for only half a second before she came back to her senses. However, Silvan was faster than her. Before she could open her mouth to warn him, the tall figure had already leaped into the air and dashed deeper into the fog, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
She couldn't care less about alerting him. She quickly waved her [Tornado Whip] and the grayish-blue fog dispersed layer by layer, revealing the ground in front of her.
Lin Sanjiu, who was about to chase after him, stopped.
On the ground right next to where Silvan was, the bone-like grayish-white sand bulged up bit by bit. Slowly, it broke open and revealed a purplish-black color. The purplish-black color rose higher and higher from the ground. The broken sand rippled outwards, supporting the thing until it rose to a height higher than a human.
The dark shadows slowly twisted their bodies as if they had seen Lin Sanjiu. Then, the dense mass of things bent down and waved at Lin Sanjiu. Among them, there were a few thin and long shadows.
She stood still on the spot. Her muscles relaxed bit by bit, as if she was letting out a long breath after soaking in hot water.
Ever since the apocalypse, she rarely had such a peaceful and relaxed moment. At that moment, she even felt a little grateful.
"Come here." The thing didn't open its mouth, it didn't make any sound, but Lin Sanjiu captured the word clearly in her mind.
Lin Sanjiu walked over to it and stopped in the shadow in front of it.
She was like a bird that had been away from home for a long time and finally returned to its nest. She could finally let go of her exhaustion and live in peace forever.
When she raised her head, the thing dropped countless silk-like purple-black shadows, gently sweeping over her head and face, like willow twigs stroking her skin.
Lin Sanjiu slowly closed her eyes.
Mrs. Manas seemed to be shouting something in exasperation, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear her clearly.
The [Defense Forcefield] couldn't withstand the external pressure and finally shattered like glass. Lin Sanjiu felt something thin crawling into her nostrils from where she had lost her protection.
"It will crawl all the way up my nasal cavity until it reaches my brain …" Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes and listened to the purplish-black creature's soft voice, "The queen needs your nourishment."
"The queen …"
"Yes," she whispered, "Bring me home."
As she spoke, the thin thing in her nasal cavity increased its speed. When she was overwhelmed by a sharp pain, a flat, electronically synthesized female voice came from afar, "Automatic expulsion mode activated."
"What?"
The next second, Lin Sanjiu felt a strong, electric current coursing through her spine and straight to her nasal bone. She opened her eyes and saw a thin black shadow rushing out of her nasal cavity. Accompanied by a scream in her mind, the black shadow fell to the ground with a thud.
It was only then that Lin Sanjiu realized that she had forgotten to resist her will. She took two steps back and looked down. There were a few purplish-black things on the ground that looked like human tongues. They were wriggling and wriggling into the pale ground.
She raised her head, and her gaze fell upon a … a humanoid figure formed from the same purplish-black tongue.
There was no humanoid figure more bizarre than this.
Countless long 'tongues' entangled, tangled, and twisted together. They wriggled and trembled as they formed a humanoid figure with a head on a shoulder. From afar, it looked like countless dead people's blood vessels were knotted together, and it also looked like thousands of black maggots were wriggling around.
The countless purplish-black tongues seemed to have realized their failure just now. They twisted their bodies and pounced toward her. The surface of their bodies rose and fell like waves, and an indescribable fishy smell floated in the fog.
She should have done something. She should have summoned some Special Item to fight back. She should have moved …
However, all Lin Sanjiu could do was stand on the spot blankly as she fought with another will that wanted nothing more than to crawl down. She was shrouded by the shadow again.
Boom! A deafening gunshot blasted the shadow above her head. Countless black maggots shrieked and exploded in the air. They wriggled and rained down like a rain of flesh. Some of them crawled back into the ground the moment they landed, and some were blown into pieces. They struggled and stopped moving. Lin Sanjiu could finally move her body. She quickly retreated a little further and turned around to look at the direction where the gunshot came from. She couldn't help but call out, "Meme!"
"That thing is going to crawl into your face. Aren't you going to fight back?"
The unprepossessing skinny boy crawled up from the ground and deftly removed the single mortar from the ground.
"Didn't you go to move the unconscious people?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you come back?"
"I sent someone back. When I came out, I saw them crawling on the ground. It was too creepy, so I flipped them over one by one." Meme's face was red and white, which made him look even worse. "I don't know how many times I flipped them, but one of them's faces suddenly fell off …"
Lin Sanjiu understood even without his explanation. When he saw her nod, Meme took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if the commanding officer noticed it or not, so I came to report the situation." As he said that, he shoved everything into the combat bag and looked around. He instantly panicked. "Where's my commanding officer?"
Coincidentally, as soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out from the fog not far ahead.
"That's the sound of the single mortar from the Munitions Factory!" Meme's eyes instantly lit up. "The commanding officer fired a shot too! He must have noticed something was wrong! "
Lin Sanjiu glanced at the pile of black maggots that was about half the height of a human and looked like they had fallen to the ground. When she saw that the maggots were about to crawl over and regroup, she felt her scalp tingle. She summoned her [Battle Item] and the card in her hand quickly turned into the shape of the single mortar from the Munitions Factory. She placed it on the ground just like what Meme did and said softly, "Leave this pile of stuff to me. You go look for Silvan! It's best if we don't split up again. If you find him, bring him back! "
"Yes," the boy responded. The tip of his flat nose was covered in beads of sweat. While Lin Sanjiu fired her gun, he ran in the direction he came from. The pile of black maggots exploded in mid-air. Slime and minced flesh splattered all over the ground, drenching the backs of the people who were crawling on the ground.
Seeing that the pile of tongue-like maggots seemed to have been shot to pieces, Lin Sanjiu suddenly jolted and came back to her senses from the scene in front of her. A guess formed in her mind.
"Meme!" She stood up and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Come back!"
