The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 139 Convergence
After walking a certain distance, those little centipedes still did not give up, and followed us from a distance. While crawling, they made a series of rustling sounds, which puzzled us, but not long after, the rustling sound The sound suddenly became rapid, and at the same time, the vegetation on our left began to shake violently, as if something big was approaching.

It was too dark at the moment, and I couldn't see things clearly. With the flash of the flashlight, I suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something hiding behind the broad-leaved plant, dark red and huge.

The next moment, this thing directly exposed its true colors, and the whole person got out of the vegetation!

Everyone's lights turned on at the same time, and suddenly they saw a huge human face, staring at us ferociously.

"Fuck!" Shunzi yelled and took a step back, I was also staggered in fright, and the whole group quickly backed away as if they had seen a ghost.In this primordial jungle, such a large human face suddenly appeared, it is no wonder that it is not frightening to death.

But soon, we discovered that this thing is actually a centipede as tall as a person. After erecting more than half of its body, from our angle, we can just see its head and abdomen. There are many dark spots on it. The yellow pattern vaguely resembles the facial features of a human being, but it is slightly distorted, so at first glance in the dark, it seems very hideous and terrifying.

Shunzi shouted: "How can this centipede grow so big!" While speaking, he immediately loaded the gun, as if planning to shoot.And at this moment, Tan Yan shouted suddenly: "Don't shoot! Run!"

Shunzi probably wants to ask why, because although this centipede is big and looks scary, we have guns, and with guns, we can walk sideways in the jungle.But after Tan Ren finished yelling, he dragged Zhou Xuanye and me and ran away, not caring about other people at all.

I looked back in a hurry, and felt my scalp tingling all of a sudden. It turned out that there were more than one of this kind of big centipede, and the roots of those broad-leaved plants were all surrounded by this kind of big centipede.The most important thing, the appearance of these big centipedes seemed to encourage the little ones, they were no longer afraid of the sulfur water, and crawled towards us densely like a tide!
Under such circumstances, no matter how many guns are available, running is the only way.

When Shunzi and the others reacted, they also ran away, but the big centipede moved too fast, and was used to living in the jungle, so he got up like a gust of wind.On the other hand, we are not suitable for running in this broad-leaved vegetation. The speed is naturally slow. If we are not paying attention, we will stumble over the thick rhizomes of some broad-leaved plants.

Tan Ren was really a thief, he dragged me and Zhou Xuanye to run ahead, while Shunzi and the others fell behind, being chased by those big centipedes, they had no choice but to shoot while running.At first Tan Ren was pulling us, but it was inconvenient to move in the vegetation, so he let go after a few seconds.

When I reacted, I realized that Tan Ren had disappeared without even a ghost.

Fuck, this girl is a rabbit!

In the dark environment, the only thing I can see is the square inch of land illuminated by the flashlight. When I look back, I often see the lights of other people and the broad leaves. The gunshots become a little scattered. It looked like everyone ran away separately.

Zhou Xuanye didn't know where he went. I was anxious and looked down at my watch.This is an outdoor watch, and the dial itself is equipped with a small compass. Although it was temporarily scattered, I still ran towards the north.

Unexpectedly, after running two steps, something suddenly appeared on the broad leaves not far in front of him.

That thing was colorful, obviously disturbed by me, it straightened its neck, spat out the letter, and looked at me dangerously with black bean eyes.It's a venomous snake.

I resisted the urge to scold my mother, turned to the side, and hurried around it, we couldn't afford to hide it.

The gunshots behind me became more and more sporadic. From time to time, I could always hear rustling sounds behind me, as if something was chasing me, but even if I looked back, I couldn’t see more. run forward.

I don't know how long it took, I couldn't hear the gunshots anymore, and the rustling sound disappeared, the sky was slightly bright, and I couldn't see my fingers in the jungle, so I stopped.

I was panting against a thick old tree, and checked the time by the way. With this breath, I ran non-stop for more than half an hour!However, I guess it should not be very far from the previous centipede nest, because of environmental reasons, so the running is relatively slow.

At this moment, I am the only one in this place. Without Tan Ren's blessing, I ran a step first, so I didn't become the target of the big centipede, but it is unknown what happened to the rest of the people.I became a little worried, and immediately took out the signal whistle and blew it.

The sharp whistle sounded far away, and soon, another echoed whistle sounded from my northwest position, and I hurried towards that position, intending to join him.

About thirty paces away, I saw Song Qiaoming sitting leaning on the rhizome of a broad-leaved plant, sweating profusely and looking very painful.He was probably the one who blew the whistle just now. At this moment, he was sitting on the ground in a state of distress, his arm was still bleeding with one hand, and the other hand was rummaging through the equipment bag, probably looking for medicine to deal with the wound.

When he saw me, Song Qiaoming was touched, and said, "Xiao Su, dear, no wonder I like you as soon as I see you. We are destined to be together." I looked at the wound on his arm, as if he was stabbed by a dagger. A class of things was drawn out, and immediately put down the equipment bag to search for medicine, while looking for it, he said: "Boss Song, what time is it, don't be poor, how did you get this injury."

While talking, I dug out things like gauze and disinfectant, and started to clean his wound.Song Qiaoming hissed and gasped, and said: "What else can I do? I was pinched by that big centipede, but you Song Ge and I are not vegetarians, so it collapsed with one shot. Hiss... hey , lightly lightly."

The blood from the wound attracted a lot of mountain leeches, one by one squirmed and crawled towards us. Song Qiaoming was annoyed to see it, and he took a gun and smashed one by one, which looked disgusting.After I treated his wound, Song Qiaoming said, "Didn't you run away with your boss? Why are you the only one left now?"

I felt quite embarrassed about this matter, and said: "The situation was urgent at the time, and the boss couldn't take care of so much, Boss Song, don't mind."

Song Qiaoming rubbed his nose and said, "That guy surnamed Tan slipped away too fast, I can see him through. But you, Boss Zhou, are still righteous and came back halfway to save me." No wonder, I just Said that Zhou Xuanye was obviously following me, but why he disappeared later, it turned out that he turned back to save others.

What Tan Ren did before must have made Song Qiaoming feel uncomfortable, but as the person involved, to be honest, at the critical moment, Tan Ren first dragged me and Zhou Xuanye to run away.People are like this, in times of crisis, they will first help those who are close to them.So in this matter, I have no position to criticize Tan Ren, on the contrary, I should be grateful, but from Song Qiaoming's position, he probably asked all about Tan Ren's ancestors.

After Song Qiaoming finished speaking, I felt something was wrong and said, "Brother Zhou went back to save you, what about the others?"

Song Qiaoming rubbed his nose embarrassingly, and said, "At that time, there were too many big centipedes chasing me. Boss Zhou was behind me, so I ran away first..."

"..." I almost vomited blood, because he is the same as Tan Ren.

Seeing my face turn black, Song Qiaoming made a haha, and motioned to me, "Boss Zhou is very skillful, he must be fine, why don't you stop blowing the whistle, and when they hear the whistle, they should come over?" Scattered in the jungle, although they are all heading north, but the area is too large, the chance of meeting is very small, and the signal must be transmitted.

Immediately, I inhaled and puffed my cheeks and began to whistle. This time it didn’t go so smoothly. I blew more than 20 times until my cheeks became soft, and finally there was a response. After a while, the vegetation not far away shook. It's like someone's coming to meet you.

I immediately shouted: "Here!"

Immediately afterwards, two people rushed out from behind the vegetation. This person did not know anyone else, but it was Tan Ren. He also helped another person. Although everyone was wearing a gas mask, their figure and equipment were easily recognizable. I saw that People are fat.

The fat man is not fat at all, and his figure is tall and straight, but he seems to be out of breath at the moment, supported by Tan Ren, and there are marks of bandaging on his body several times.

I didn't expect that it would be Tan Ren who came, and I was shocked: "Boss, why is it you!"

Tan Ren glanced at me, and said calmly: "Otherwise, who do you want?"

While talking, Song Qiaoming also stood up, followed the fat man, gasped, and said, "Why are you injured so badly?"

Tan Yan didn't make a sound, sat down on the ground, took off the gas mask, took out water from the equipment bag and started to drink, and then told me what happened.

It turned out that after Tan Ren and I separated, he also went to save people. On this point, Song Qiaoming and I misunderstood him. He actually wanted Zhou Xuanye and me to run away first, because he recognized the origin of the centipede.

It was a rare red-bellied yellow-spotted centipede that lived in groups and had a strong reproductive ability, but this kind of centipede had the habit of devouring each other.

Most centipedes devour their own kind only when there is a lack of food, and this kind of centipede, the longer they live, the more they like to devour their own kind. The more they eat, the bigger and more vicious they are. Well, if you meet a group of them, it will definitely be a very scary thing. Tan Ren recognized them and decided to run immediately.

He dragged me and Zhou Xuanye to run away, seeing that I was safe halfway, he turned back to save others.

When I heard this, I immediately felt guilty, and said, "Boss, I blamed you."

Tan Ren said: "It's too late to apologize now, my heart is broken into pieces."

I was very surprised: "Boss, you can actually joke?" I felt that my understanding of Tan Ren had been refreshed.
