Crunch …
The air in the sewer was quite turbid, and the feeling of stepping in the mud was even more torturous. A mixture of rot and stench constantly rose from below, and with every step they took, they felt like they were going to sink.
As they moved forward, Ling Mo constantly looked around, but the more he observed, the more he felt his scalp go numb. Not only the ground, but there were also many strange marks on the cement walls on both sides. At first glance, they looked like mildew or moss, but after looking for a long time, they found that most of the marks were a mixture of flesh and mucus … Even the walls were like that, not to mention the composition of the sludge …
But despite the disgust, after choosing this path, they did not encounter the centipede people again. Not only that, but the sewer was almost silent, and compared to the outside world, it was a completely different world. After walking for a short while, Ling Mo already felt that it was a very long journey. The constant environment and the depressing atmosphere fully indicated that this was not a place suitable for human survival.
Especially after thinking about what Xia Na said, Ling Mo increasingly felt that this was like another space. A place hidden under the city, extremely dangerous and full of fear.
"Zombies are no longer the only monsters …" Ling Mo silently repeated in his heart, and his mind recalled the expression on Xia Na's face when she said this. He rarely saw such an expression on Xia Na's face. It was a complicated expression that was a mixture of both zombie and human emotions. There seemed to be some relief, and also some joy.
"Like there's a new kind of creature? No … it's more like a feeling of not being lonely anymore. "
Perhaps for Xia Na, the meaning of this kind of underground creature was the same as the feeling that humans felt when they were constantly searching for alien creatures. Not only alien creatures, but also those anthropomorphic story protagonists. The reason why they frequently appeared in human fantasies and expectations might also be because of the human group's sense of loneliness.
If there were more advanced life forms like himself in this world, what kind of scene would it be? Thinking back, Ling Mo suddenly realized that he actually had such wild thoughts.
However, the appearance of zombies completely shattered this illusion. The appearance of a new species had resulted in the current situation where humans were on the verge of extinction …
'There probably aren't many humans who would think of this topic at this time …' Ling Mo couldn't help but sigh.
In today's environment, it was unknown how many people were praying for the zombies to disappear … What new species, this was simply a disaster … To put it bluntly, this was a battle between two species for resources, but to put it more deeply, this was a collision between two civilizations … Humans were crushed, but they still existed. Zombies were all over the world, but only a few of them had evolved to the advanced stage …
"But why don't zombies think so? The centipede people's attitude towards zombies was also very clear … food, and captive food at that. If the entire underground is filled with them, then sooner or later, they will also develop to the surface … "Ling Mo thought with a headache.
Humans, zombies, underground creatures, mutated beasts … that was all he knew. But who knew if new monsters were being born somewhere else?
Not only humans, but other species were also having a hard time surviving. This was an era where "if you don't compete, you will die" …
"Ling Mo, look."
Li Yalin suddenly stopped, raised her hand, and pointed to a corner not far away.
Looking in the direction of her finger, Ling Mo immediately saw a cement hole.
"It leads to another building …" Ling Mo guessed.
The one they passed through before should be the drainage pipe of Rosen Company …
But after looking at it for a while, Ling Mo found something wrong, and this was probably the real reason why it attracted Li Yalin's attention …
At the edge of the cement hole, there seemed to be a hand reaching out …
"I'll go take a look."
Ling Mo sped up and stepped on the mud to walk over.
Seeing that he was moving fast, Li Yalin and Xia Na also curiously came over.
The three of them were looking forward to it, but they weren't nervous … Obviously, this couldn't be a living creature. Looking at the hand, it didn't look like a centipede, and if it was a zombie, it wouldn't be lying there quietly.
"It's a corpse." Ling Mo said as soon as he walked to the front of the cement hole.
The corpse looked like it had been here for a long time, its head was strangely twisted, and a pair of empty eyes stared at Ling Mo. Although its face was mutilated, it could still be seen from its teeth that it was a human when it was alive …
"It hasn't completely rotted yet …" Ling Mo stared at its shriveled hand and said.
"Because the blood has been sucked dry, and the temperature here is very low …" Xia Na analyzed.
Ling Mo looked around and said, "But since there are corpses here, it means that there must be that kind of monster around here …."
Xia Na also turned her head and looked a few times, but finally turned her eyes back to the corpse.
"How do you usually drag a corpse?" Xia Na suddenly murmured.
"Drag it by hand!" Li Yalin answered.
Ling Mo looked at the corpse and thought for a moment, then replied, "From the perspective of convenience, it should be dragging the feet … Hey!" Ling Mo suddenly showed a look of realization, "Could it be …"
"That's right!" Xia Na gently snapped her fingers and said, "The corpse must have been dragged inside from here, that's why the hand was stuck at the edge. And thinking back, didn't the group of monsters we encountered before also live under the Rosen company? That is to say, this group of monsters probably won't stay in this kind of tunnel, but in a more closed place … "
With that said, Xia Na looked at the cement hole expectantly, "That is to say, there is also a group of … Brother Ling," she looked up at Ling Mo and said, "Do you want to go in?"
Of course, he didn't want to go in … But it felt a little uncomfortable to leave like this …
"Brother Ling, I want to confirm more." Xia Na said in a slightly spoiled manner, "Okay?"
"Confirm what?"
"Are humanoid monsters a single species?" Xia Na tilted her head and said.
"Single … Yes!"
Humans already had psychics, zombies also had high and low levels, as well as the difference between ordinary zombies and mutant zombies. What about the underground creatures?
The earlier they could deepen their understanding of them, the earlier they could find a way to prevent them … At least before they crawled out of the ground, they had to master the means to deal with them on the ground!
"Let me do it."
Ling Mo turned his face away, walked up and grabbed the corpse's clothes.
"Sorry for offending you …"
After muttering to himself, he abruptly pulled the corpse down.
Most of the body of the corpse was already gone, so it didn't fall into the mud after coming out of the cement hole. Instead, it was barely carried by Ling Mo. He found a relatively flat place to put it down, and took out a few pieces of broken bones scattered in the hole and put them next to the corpse.
Xia Na and Lin Sanjiu silently watched this scene until Ling Mo was completely done, then they looked into the hole.
"Can you smell anything?" Ling Mo asked.
Li Yalin shook her head and said, "I don't feel anything over there."
"That's right, that means it's all mucus over there." Ling Mo looked into the depths of the hole vigilantly, but he couldn't see anything except gray.
"I'll go first."
He stretched his body and then took the lead to climb into the hole.
But just after he entered the cement hole, he suddenly heard Xia Na ask, "Brother Ling, what were you thinking about just now?"
"Ah?" Ling Mo half-squatted in the hole and turned his head with some difficulty.
"I feel like there's something on your mind." Xia Na said.
She also climbed into the hole, and at this time, her red glasses were flashing, staring deeply at Ling Mo.
Not knowing whether it was an illusion or not, Ling Mo suddenly found that her black eyes had also turned into deep gems, as if they were constantly reflecting light, it was a dazzling feeling at first glance.
Although this feeling only flashed by, it made Ling Mo stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Ling Mo didn't answer, Xia Na raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, and said, "Actually, I felt it even if you didn't say it. Are you worried? About these humanoid monsters? But that's right, Brother Ling, you've always been very concerned about our matters, even this time. It's obviously a matter of fighting with zombies, but you don't let us directly participate … "
"Right, I haven't done anything about this yet …"
"Are we weak?" Xia Na suddenly asked.
Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Of course not … The mother zombie was killed by Ye Lian, and the other two high-level zombies were also killed by senior sister and me, and Xia Na, you also quietly found this place …"
"Ahem … I won't be happy if you praise me like this …" Xia Na rolled her eyes, and then touched her hair awkwardly, "Actually, I didn't mean that … How do I say this …" She bit her lip and thought about it, and said, "No matter what, we are different from other zombies! We have a human protecting us! If we look at it from another perspective, Brother Ling is also different from other people, because you have … Lian sister, senior sister … So there is no need to worry so much, just live together … It's not necessarily a bad thing to have a new species … "
The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and finally, under the gaze of Ling Mo, she suddenly grabbed the scythe and thrust it forward, "So annoying, hurry up and get out! The stench of a corpse is very strong! "
"Holy shit … Who the hell is talking here?! You're being unreasonable … "
"Stupid human … Have you ever seen a reasonable zombie?"
"What are you doing, I want to go in too …" Li Yalin's voice came from behind …
