?

  Passerby A leaned against the wall, saying lightly: "Rinse your mouth, replenish your energy, and rest." After finishing speaking, he closed his mouth and didn't speak again. This person's attitude has always been difficult to grasp. In Kunlun Mountain, he saved me many times, but when he finally made up his mind to kill, his wrist was ruthless. His attitude afterwards was even more bizarre. For example, on the plane that time, I had a feeling that he was trying to make friends with me, but in just a few days, this person robbed me of my things and beat me half to death. Honestly, up until now, I still can't figure out his temper.

  A passerby, Mr. A, was very kind to me, and I wasn't polite, drinking water to rinse my mouth, gurgling, spitting out all the murky water mixed with black substances, rinsing several times before it cleared up. Just as my stomach was recovering, preparing to reach for the compressed beef, passerby Mr. A suddenly leaned in, lowering his voice and said: "It's coming out."

  What is it? What thing?

  I subconsciously pricked up my ears, and in the quiet riverbed, a gurgling sound suddenly came out, like something was blowing bubbles. If you didn't listen carefully, it would be hard to notice. I immediately shifted my gaze to the surface of the river, only to see that at some point, a large number of black bubbles had emerged.

  The beautiful German woman's expression changed and she exclaimed in surprise: "How did so many come?"

  Passerby A's mouth corner seemed to twitch, and in an instant, he jumped up, shouldered his equipment pack, and shouted: "Run!" Before any of us could react, he was already dashing forward with his flashlight, damn, running faster than a rabbit, for crying out loud, rabbits are his grandsons.

  My only goal now is to follow pedestrian A, where he wants to go, the oil bottle may also appear, so when pedestrian A runs, I don't think about it and get up and run. After running a few steps, the four eyes behind me suddenly shouted: "Ah, many!" Immediately after that, there was a burst of gunfire from behind. Pedestrian A stopped his figure, let out a hoarse cry, seemingly somewhat impatient, then he threw me a small assault rifle from his bag.

  The heavy gun was in my hand, I was excited to death. Turning around, I saw many white things floating on the dirty black surface. The big thing was mostly hidden underwater, and the exposed skin color was a bit like that of an octopus with its skin peeled off. Those things moved extremely fast in the water, constantly gathering towards the shore. Before long, one had crawled up to the place closest to me. It looked very strange, like an upside-down pot, and it seemed to have something like tentacles underneath that could move. After it came ashore, it immediately extended a thing from its body, which turned out to be a withered purple human hand. Damn, after all this time, the thing that pulled me into the water was this creature.

  I was getting annoyed just by looking at it, the small and agile creature suddenly pounced, its head had just appeared when I gave it a few shots, instantly hitting it until its skin burst open and it fell to the ground motionless. I didn't expect that after solving one, three more crawled out from the shore, this thing's movements were too fast. At this time, Dr. Zhang and others behind me were almost surrounded, encircled by those creatures forming a circle, four people with their backs against the wall, forming a triangle, constantly firing and sweeping. I was shocked to see this, just about to fire my gun to help, when passerby A suddenly pulled on my arm, then subtly shook his head at me, I was stunned, could it be that he wanted me not to go?

  In an instant I understood, he wanted to kill someone by borrowing a knife!

  At this time, passerby A had already turned around and was seriously abusing the thing that ran to his side. The thing was too reckless, stretching out its hand to wrap around passerby A's wrist. Passerby A flipped his hand over, twisting it into an arc degree that is very difficult for a human to achieve. Immediately afterwards, he pinched with his fingers, and the thing's dark purple palm was directly torn off by him. A puddle of black red blood splattered all over me.

  I subconsciously took a step back, afraid that the claw would eventually pierce my body. Just then, Dr. Zhang suddenly let out a scream, her face contorted in pain. It seemed she had been caught off guard. After her ankle was grabbed, the hand pulled outward, dragging Dr. Zhang's foot into its own body. Below, it was unknown what was inside, perhaps it was the entrance to its digestive system.

  Mr. Zhang's painful tears came out, his body shook, and his gaze accidentally collided with mine. Those black eyes stared at me, my head suddenly felt hot, I raised my gun and gave that thing a few shots. My marksmanship was much better than the four-eyed ones. The thing almost immediately went limp, Dr. Zhang quickly pulled out his foot, which was covered in blood, and hobbled along the path I had cleared, limping towards me and passerby A.

  A passerby let out a strange cry, and then I heard him whispering in my ear: "You really live up to Wu Erbai." Then he also fired his gun and started helping Siyan and others. His words made me dizzy, and my heart was both panicked and urgent - why did he mention Second Uncle twice? Did Second Uncle really make some kind of deal with him without me knowing?

  I stood there, almost frozen in place. When I looked at passerby A, the corners of his mouth, which were usually expressionless, curved up slightly, as if he was smiling, but that smile seemed even colder than when he had no expression.

  It seems that this time out of the desert, I must go to find Second Uncle. What is his situation now? This is too worrying. But there was no more time for me to think, those things kept emerging from the river bottom and slowly crawling up the shore. As far as the eye could see, everywhere was a vast expanse of white.

  Right away, our group back to back split into two sides. I and passerby A and old Sun had good marksmanship, the three of us faced forward to clear a path, Dr. Zhang and others faced backward, resisting things that were sneaking up from behind. In an instant, under our strong firepower, we cleared a path in front of us. Immediately after, passerby A put away his gun and said: "Let's go!"

  The ground was littered with shell casings and corpses, our group of people shone a single high-intensity flashlight in the darkness, running forward along the riverbank. Behind us, many corpses had gathered, I turned my head to look back, only to see that those monsters hadn't caught up, probably also intimidated by our firepower. They stretched out things resembling human hands, pulling the corpses of their own kind on the shore towards themselves, then stuffed them under their bodies. Their bodies shook violently, and after a moment, the corpses disappeared without a trace, apparently devoured by them. It was unknown how terrifying the mouthparts hidden in their abdomens were.

  Those who got food slowly slipped back into the dark water, while those who didn't continued to chase after us. There were still many of them, and we had no choice but to run forward with all our might.

  At this time, Zhang suddenly fell to the ground, crying out in pain. I took a look and saw that her legs were almost uncontrollably twitching, with fresh blood dripping from her ankle. I didn't know how badly she was hurt. In this moment of delay, Siyan and Old Sun had already run ahead. I cursed under my breath, picked up Dr. Zhang's armpits, and urgently said: "Get on, I'll carry you."

  As soon as the words fell, this woman pounced on me, and the soft thing in front of her chest was pressed against my back without any politeness. Unfortunately, I didn't have any mood to think wildly at that moment. Passersby A were moving very fast, if I didn't catch up quickly, I wouldn't be able to see the light source anymore.

  I was carrying Dr. Zhang, who was lagging behind, and the rustling sound of that thing moving made people's scalp numb. Dr. Zhang took a rapid breath on my back, and then she wrapped her arm around my neck to stabilize herself. I felt like she had shifted her body slightly, and then I heard the dense gunfire. Suddenly, an image flashed in my mind - she was holding a gun with one hand, with a fierce expression. Damn, are all women this fierce nowadays? Where should I go to find a wife?!

  I cursed under my breath and quickened my pace. As Zhang continued to fire, shells kept hitting my forehead or head, hurting all over. Although Zhang wasn't heavy, she had a backpack full of equipment that weighed me down. I was the only one carrying everything, so by the time we reached the end, I was almost out of breath and my legs were slowing down. Just then, there was a loud crash, and to my surprise, Zhang threw away her backpack and tightened her arms around my neck, urging "Faster!"

  Damn it, he really treats me like a horse to ride.

  But she threw off her backpack, greatly reducing the weight, and my feet suddenly quickened. Before long, I caught up with the people in front of me. Four eyes turned back to look at me, and immediately stopped and said: "I'll carry it." I knew early on that this kid had a crush on Zhang's family. On the road, he would often sneak glances at her for no reason. If I put Zhang aside and chased after Road Person A without saying another word, if I were to put this energy into chasing women, I'm afraid I could make soy sauce out of kids.

  This thought only flashed through my mind, and in the past two years, my physical strength has improved a lot. Moreover, compared to the monsters behind me, I'm more afraid of losing Road Person A. Where would I find him then? With this thought supporting me, my feet flew quickly, surpassing the German beauty and Old Sun, instantly catching up to Road Person A's butt.

  Just as I let out a sigh of relief, the person in front suddenly stopped, and I was caught off guard, slamming into his back. The hard bone pressed against my nose, causing both pain and numbness, and tears almost came out. Just as I was about to curse, through blurry eyes, I discovered that the road ahead had actually been cut off. Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat - this Zhang guy really did have some skills, and he had indeed spoken the truth.

  In front of us was a pitch-black stone wall, and the Black Water River ended here. The other half of the river had black mud and gravel, showing the changing scene of the river course.

  At this time, the things behind caught up, and several people lined up in a row to resist. The German beauty shouted in not very standard Chinese: "What to do? Bullets will be finished if they last long." She was anxious, and her Chinese became even more difficult. I guessed that she wanted to express that if time went on, the bullets would run out.

  "What kind of monster is this?"

  Passerby A still didn't turn his head, and continued to study the stone wall in front of him, saying: "Corpse Qi." I have heard that there is a kind of corpse that after changing, its whole body will turn purple and harden, making it impervious to knives and guns. Within a hundred miles, all livestock will be restless, and chickens and dogs will cry at night. That kind of thing is called Corpse Qi. But what about the white things behind him? Besides his dry purple hands, what else resembles Corpse Qi?

  I thought passerby A was trying to fool me, so I made up my mind to go home and study the relevant knowledge. At this time, passerby A explained: "This is an ancient name, this thing grows by eating corpses, has a big appetite, is a kind of corpse-gu worm evil technique, raised by humans, you see that black water, it's the feces excreted by the corpse king after living in it for a long time."

  My stomach churns even more, can it get any worse? I'd rather it be rotten meat, at least that's something I've experienced before, but now you're telling me it's the feces of that thing!
