Chapter 70 Strange phenomenon(1/2)
The boy's eyes gradually dimmed as passers-by passed by. He knew that the outcome would be like this, but he just tried his best with the last glimmer of hope.
Feeling that the strength in his body was getting less and less, he pushed himself up and crawled towards the shed where he was hiding.
"If I die at home, my sister might be able to survive a little longer..."
But when he returned to the hidden shed area where he was hiding, he heard a noise inside and suddenly felt bad. This was already the extreme edge of the shed area. No one would come here on weekdays. How could it be!
The boy tried hard to hold his body forward with his hands, and his fingernails were buckled to the outside. When he finally entered the shed, he saw a scene that made his eyes split open:
Three men actually dug out his sister from a box and wanted to take her away!
The leading man held her by the wrist like a dead branch, and her body without a few kilograms of flesh was floating in the air like a rag.
"Asshole!! Let her go!!!"
Angry flames suddenly surged into his mind, and the boy roared. His body, which was already exhausted, squeezed out a few more drops of strength and threw a stone at the man.
But he didn't hit him. The stone just flicked weakly on the ground twice. In fact, the roar he thought he made didn't make much sound, and it didn't even attract the attention of those people.
"Haha, boss, there is a boy at the door, he seems to be dying!"
A younger brother discovered the boy. Although he didn't know him, he could guess that he was a relative of the girl.
"Take it here, go back and add a meal, plus this little girl, it can last for a while!"
The younger brother happily went over and picked up the boy. Although his body was still light and airy, he still had several kilograms of meat!
But when he took off the boy's clothes and examined them carefully, he saw the boy's paralyzed legs and was disappointed.
"Boss, it's no longer useful! This kid is contaminated!"
When the leading man came over to take a look, he also had a gloomy look on his face, and he didn't even want the girl in his hand.
The boy's legs were covered with dense gray-green hyphae patterns, which were as disgusting as food that had been rotten for a long time.
"...don't look."
A soft voice sounded like a mosquito, and it was the little girl.
She raised her head, her messy hair could not hide her delicate features, and her eyes were astonishingly bright.
"She's still a pretty girl! It's a pity to eat it. Maybe I can give it to that woman in exchange for more things!" the boss said happily.
Fang Nuo shook his head as he watched the men excitedly discuss how much this girl was worth and whether they should give her a bath first.
“You don’t know when you are about to die.”
He solemnly escaped into a deeper space, and as the space distorted, the scene in front of him gradually changed.
There is something called three views in mathematics. The shapes seen on the left, right and top are different, but in fact they are all sides of the same object.
The deep space perspective is similar to this principle. It is a different manifestation of an object at different spatial levels. Normal things in the eyes of ordinary people may not be the same at another spatial perspective.
At this time, in Fang Nuo's eyes, what appeared here was not a shabby shack, but a strange creature that looked like an angler and was entrenched in the wasteland.
Its whole body was covered with gray-green mold, its huge house-like mouth was wide open, and three men were sitting on its tongue bed.
In the middle of the red tongue bed, a brightly colored piece of meat protrudes. At the top of this piece of meat is a delicate girl's face, and the lower end is being held tightly by the leading man.
Everything seems to be a scam by this monster, but the boy actually exists!
The girl originally looked weak and fluffy, but now her face was expressionless, she looked at the three of them and said indifferently:
"I told you not to look!"
Gray-green mold has quietly climbed up to their feet and spread rapidly throughout their bodies.
The three of them were completely unaware that the danger of death was approaching. Instead, they ruffled the girl's wild hair as if mockingly.
"So... handsome..."
Before they finished speaking, the mold had spread all over their bodies, and their lives were frozen. Before they died, their eyes suddenly widened, as if they had seen something terrifying.
The three of them stood in place, like a cut-out garden landscape, or like a statue on the seabed that had been eroded for a long time and became patinated.
The girl fell to the ground, walked towards the boy who had fainted, and picked him up. Her movements were gentle, as if she were handling a peerless treasure, and she released a green light in her hands that enveloped the boy.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this might be considered a warm scene, but unfortunately what Fang Nuo saw was that the girl's face swallowed the boy in one gulp and spat it out again.
The boy was vomited to the ground and was covered in green mucus. However, he quickly woke up and was unaware of the green mucus. Instead, he was concerned about why the girl came out and whether she was okay.
He seemed completely unaware of what had happened before, and turned a blind eye to the three green statues in the shed.
It's just that more and more parts of him are paralyzed. Before, it was only his legs, but now it has spread to his waist, and he can only rely on his arms to support his whole body.
"Brother, don't go out. How about we live here together?"
The boy's eyes were firm: "No, you have been hungry for several days, I will definitely find food!"
After saying that, he hid the girl in the box and climbed out firmly.
Looking at the boy's retreating figure, the girl's eyes were filled with sadness.
Then she was lifted up by Fang Nuo.
"??"
"What a strange creature. I can't help but want to see what your structure is!"
The girl struggled hard, and the whole shack shook, and there were waves of deep roars like wild beasts.
"Don't move, you don't want to see that boy die either."
This strange creature is quite powerful, comparable to a second-level wizard, but in Fang Nuo's hands it is powerless to resist.
The girl who originally wanted to fight to the death immediately became honest after hearing these words.
Fang Nuo was also surprised. Who would have thought that the weakness of a terrifying monster is related to a beggar.
......
The underground city is also divided into day and night, perhaps to save energy. At night, the light ball in the sky will become dim, and the entire underground city will be plunged into darkness.
When Lin Nan crawled home at night, he was in a very bad mood. Today was still a day of nothing.
If his legs were not paralyzed for some reason, Lin Nan's life would not be so difficult.
He was a child born shortly after the end of the world. In his early years, his parents were still alive. They were both supernatural beings. Although their lives were not luxurious, they could be said to have no worries about food and clothing.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, supplies became increasingly scarce, and his parents died one after another during expeditions for him and his sister.
If zombies are still in the city...
Lin Nan felt bitter in his heart. If the zombies were still in the underground city, he would risk his life to fight for it. Unfortunately, after that drastic change, most of the zombies fled into the mountains and forests, which made many people lose their minds.
A chance to awaken and become stronger.
He used to learn the Knight's Breathing Technique from his parents. He heard that it was a secret technique passed down by a certain big shot. After condensing life seeds, his strength is no less than a level 2 superpower.
Unfortunately, his talent was average and he had no resources to support him, so his progress has been very slow. Lin Nan originally wanted to sell the secret technique, but no one believed in him.
In other words, the young Lin Nan was deceived several times by refusing to give him any supplies even if he believed him.
All he has left is his sister.
Thinking of his sister, Lin Nan's heart couldn't help but be filled with warmth. He looked at the dilapidated shack under the dim light, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
But he was keen and quickly discovered that something was not right here, which was very different from usual!
A stranger broke in!
He was anxious in his heart, fearing that his sister would be harmed. He was about to move forward when he saw a tall man in black robe walking out of the shack. The man's face was calm and there was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.
"I'm back, come over for dinner."
The simple words made Lin Nan have the urge to cry. He did not feel any malice. The calmness and indifference in the words seemed to be back to the past, when his parents were waiting for him to come back for dinner.
Despite this, Lin Nan was still wary. After all, this scene was too strange.
"The mental state is different from that of ordinary people. The effect of charming humans is not good. Is it the alienation caused by staying around such a monster for a long time?"
Fang Nuo felt Lin Nan's vigilance and thought to himself.
He originally wanted to take the monster away directly, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be no place to go. It might be more convenient to just study it on the spot.
I learned from the girl that her human name is Lin Yu and her brother is Lin Nan. They have always been together and dependent on each other.
Fang Nuo is temporarily skeptical about the so-called dependence on each other.
In order to appease the emotions of the experimental subjects, Fang Nuo agreed to some of Lin Yu's requests, such as making Lin Nan live a better life.
Although Lin Yu is a terrifying monster in person, his actual state is very strange and he cannot help Lin Nan much. Most of the time, he is just a burden.
Fang Nuo saw Lin Nan crawling with difficulty with his hands and thought he was wasting time, so he stepped forward and carried him into the shack.
Although it is said to be a shack, the inside has actually changed a lot. In the past, garbage piled up here, and it looked more like a doghouse than a human residence. But now it looks like an ordinary home before the end of the world.
This was naturally modified by Fang Nuo casually. He was here to do research, not to remember the bitterness and sweetness, so naturally he would not deliberately let himself live in a doghouse.
Looking at the food on the table and her sister sitting obediently on the chair, Lin Nan felt that everything was like a dream.
"Is this all for us? Who are you?"
Despite the crazy secretion of saliva, Lin Nan still maintained some restraint.
