《fall into darkness》Chapter 48: Living Corpse
Advertisement
"Ah!" A vain scream of panic came.
Du Di'an was startled and hurriedly looked back, but saw that Macon was flanked by two bone-eating rats and fell to the ground. Zach and Sham didn't watch the play, they stepped forward and punched and kicked the two bone-eating mice, daring not to attack with a dagger, for fear of accidentally hurting Macon below.
Du Di'an's face changed, he hurriedly pulled out his dagger, and rushed over.
"Go away!!" Du Di'an roared, the metal boots kicked the head of one of the bone-eating rats, and with a bang, the bone-eating rat's body suddenly fell backwards. Seeing the opportunity, Zach hurried forward, pressed the bone-eating rat on his body, raised his fist and beat its head fiercely.
Sham tugged at the tail of the other bone-eating rat, preventing it from crawling on Macon's face.
Du Dian has mastered the coping experience. He lowered his waist and pulled up the hind legs of this bone-eating rat. He struggled to lift it up. He lifted its body directly, lifted it vigorously, and smashed it violently on the ground. Its pointed little head Knocked on the ground, the strength of the struggle suddenly weakened.
Du Di'an roared and smashed continuously, using a homeopathic force, repeatedly smashed, preventing the bone-eating rat from finding a leverage point to break free from his palm.
After more than ten consecutive smashes, the bone-eating rat gradually stopped moving, its body twitched reflexively, and blood seeped out from its hair, staining the ground red.
At this time, Macon, who got up from the ground, had cooperated with Zach and stabbed another bone-eating rat to death.
Du Di'an looked at the bone-eating rat who was motionless in his hand, grabbed the short sword and made up a few swords before he was relieved, and sat on the ground, only to feel his arm sore as if it was broken, his whole body was exhausted, and he was constantly tired. Breathing heavily, the air filtered by the mask exhaled extremely slowly, making him feel sultry and dizzy like an oxygen deficiency.

Macon also sat next to him, leaning against his back, gasping for breath.
Zach and Sham were in better condition and still had a lot of stamina, but looking at the corpses of several bone-eating rats on the ground, they were still a little frightened and their faces were pale.
After resting for a while, Macon slapped the hair caught between the gaps of the gloves and panted, "It's so damn dangerous, it almost slashed my throat, these damn things."
Du Di'an's breathing has gradually become smooth, he looked back at him, and said, "Thanks to you this time."
Macon said angrily, "What?"
Du Di'an smiled and said nothing more.
Zach said with lingering fears: "There are so many bone-eating rats here, didn't those hunters see it, is this still called "cleaning"? "
Sham said fortunately: "Fortunately, the soft armor on our body has good toughness and has not been torn apart, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Du Dian looked at the rat corpse in front of his feet, recalling his previous battle, his fingers couldn't help clenching his fists, it was too bad, his performance was too bad, if it wasn't for Macon's call in time, he would have been taken from behind by this bone-eating rat. Attacked.
"You have done an excellent job. After all, this is the first time you have encountered such a battle. Even if an adult sees an ordinary vicious dog rushing towards him, he will be frightened and panicked." A voice comforted him. But soon, Du Di'an killed the weak voice. He bit his lip tightly, and the pain invaded his mind. He wanted to let his weakness remember that life is only once!
In the face of death, excellence and failure are meaningless. The only thing that can save you is the power to survive!
He suddenly understood why scavengers would only choose from residential areas and slums, but not from the colleges in the business district. Because the death rate of this job is too high! Although, they encountered danger this time, mainly because they came to the eighth area that had just been "cleaned". If they went to the ninth area, which had been scavenged ten times, the chance of encountering these monsters would be very low.

However, the low probability of danger also means that the harvest of scavenging is low!
This is a profession of equal risk and value!
This is fair enough.
Having had previous combat experience, Du Di'an still has some fear of death. This time he encountered a bone-eating rat. Will he encounter a more terrifying monster next time? Shouldn't it be better to follow the main force and go back after the mission is over?
He looked at the broken glass door of the supermarket, and flinched in his heart, but soon, he thought of his right arm and the scar carved on it. Ken and the three said: "Go in, the movement was so big just now, a few of them should have come out, but there may be some hiding in the dark, everyone be careful."
Mei, Zha, and Sha did not expect that Du Dian would dare to enter the ruins. They were a little surprised. When they saw his determined gaze from the side cheeks, the three hesitated slightly, then stood up and clenched their short swords, ready at any time. Resist the attack.
at this time--
"Ah, ah!" A shrill scream came from a nearby street, and it was particularly loud in this rotten ruin.
The four of Du Di'an were stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the bone-eating rat monster they had just encountered, and when they heard this shrill cry, there was no doubt that the other party had also encountered something. Help in the past.
Du Dian noticed the hesitation in his heart, and suddenly stunned, his mind quickly thought about it, and said: "Go over and take a look, be careful, if there is a situation, withdraw immediately!"
The three of Macon were hesitant, and when they heard his words, they nodded immediately, as if a stone had fallen in their hearts.
Several people ran in the direction of the screams, when they saw the scavengers rushing out from other buildings and ran to the screaming place.
Soon, the screams were getting closer and closer. It was a street corner. Du Dian immediately slowed down and made a slight gesture. The three behind Mei, Zha, and Sha immediately understood, they all slowed down, and slowly approached behind Du Di'an.
Going around the corner, Du Dian looked around, his pupils shrank suddenly, his face full of horror.
I saw in the center of this street covered with green vegetation, in front of a dilapidated shop door, two figures hugged and twisted on the ground, a man and a woman respectively. However, the figure above, with a tattered shirt, showing off gray-white skinny skin, disheveled hair, and sharp claws on his fingers, was actually a walking corpse! !
Alive, walking dead! ! !
At this moment, this woman's walking corpse is lying on the body of the struggling young man, gnawing at the flesh and blood of his chest. With Du Di'an's vision, he can see it very clearly, and he can even see the other side's bite when he is biting. The blood vessel-like tissue, the blood gushing out from the young man's chest, dyed the neck and neck of his mouth red.
Behind the young man's feet, there was a figure in black standard soft armour, a woman whose body was motionless and seemed to be dead.
And more than ten meters away from the young man, there is another young man standing. At this moment, he is stepping back and backwards, his hands are tightly covering his mouth, and he does not seem to dare to let his fear cry out.

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth.
