Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 550 Humanoid Monster
"What is that? Eye drops?" Qi Lin caught a glimpse of Cheng Yanqiu's movements from the corner of his eye and asked curiously.

"No, it's a special potion. It can be taken orally and externally. It can give me the same ability to see in the dark as you within a few hours." Cheng Yanqiu said, in the dark underground space, the light source It was too conspicuous, if the two fumbled forward with flashlights, who knew how many uninvited guests would be attracted.

"Darkvision potion? Is there such a good thing?" Qi Lin subconsciously touched his eye sockets—to be honest, although the ability of darkvision does not seem to be advanced, it cannot directly enhance the combat ability, but whenever Qi Lin When using it, you will feel that it is too convenient to have such an ability.

"Well, it's still a trial product, and continuous use will cause serious damage to the eyes." Cheng Yanqiu said.

"I don't think it's necessary to use it continuously. It's already causing damage just now." Qi Lin saw that Cheng Yanqiu's eye sockets began to become red and swollen, and tears continued to secrete.

"This potion...is a bit irritating, how should I put it...it's like dripping a bottle of chili water into the eyes...hiss...after a while...hiss...it'll be fine..."The effect of the medicine has gone When it started to work, Cheng Yanqiu gritted his teeth, sucking in air continuously through the gap between his teeth.

"The person who invented this potion must be a masochist..." Qi Lin muttered, the pepper water dripped into his eyes, he was really creative...

After about 5 minutes, Cheng Yanqiu's symptoms eased, he wiped the tears from his face, and then followed.

"By the way, do you have a map of this area? There seems to be a fork in the road ahead." Qi Lin pointed to the front, and three branch tunnels appeared at the end of the railway track.

"The left is a dead end, the middle and the right lead to the same place, you just choose one." Cheng Yanqiu said.

"Right." Qi Lin said puzzledly.

"According to the psychological interpretation, people who like to choose the sideline route are those who are not confident and insecure about the surrounding environment." For some reason, Cheng Yanqiu suddenly mentioned this.

"It feels like the boring test that often existed on the WeChat public account in the old days. After the test, the person will find that the results seem to be accurate, but if he reads every answer, he will find that all the answers are ambiguous. The content can be applied to almost 90.00% of people.” Qi Lin shrugged, although he had been seeking a living abroad in his early years, but he also stayed in China for a while after the mercenary group was disbanded. There is still some understanding of social software.

"However, I think this sentence is correct. You must be a cautious guy. Your subconscious mind made you choose the side road. You must always be on guard against things around you and maintain a defensive posture at all times—why? So, am I right?"

"No, you're wrong. I said choose the right side. That's because there is blood at the entrance of the tunnel in the middle."

"Bloodstains?" Cheng Yanqiu was a little stunned. In his field of vision, he could only vaguely see three forks in the road. As for the subtle things, he had to get close to see them clearly.

"Obviously, your chili water with strong side effects is not as effective as my passive skill." Qi Lin joked.

"What kind of blood?" Cheng Yanqiu opened the safety of the submachine gun and asked in a low voice.

"Dried bloodstains, but in this environment, if it was a bloodstain from a long time ago, I definitely can't see it now. If I can still see it, it means that the bloodstain was left recently."

"It's better to be careful...Since there are bloodstains here, it means that something is likely to divide this area into its own hunting ground. In the underground world, creatures have a higher sense of territory than on the surface. Even more intense." Cheng Yanqiu said seriously.

"Ok, I know."

Cheng Yanqiu was holding a submachine gun, Qi Lin was holding a steel pipe, and the two approached the fork in a swift and silent manner.

It was indeed a pool of blood, the black viscous liquid had completely dried and solidified, and it was covered with fine cracks.

"Let's go." Qi Lin weighed the steel pipe in his hand, and walked into the tunnel on the right first, followed by Cheng Yanqiu.

The two advanced nearly a hundred meters, and finally saw living things other than bugs and bloodthirsty rats—it was a skinny humanoid creature, clinging to the top of the tunnel, as if waiting for an opportunity to ambush, but Qi Lin was the first to discover it, and immediately threw the steel pipe in his hand. The tip of the twisted steel pipe was very sharp, easily piercing through the ribs of the creature. down.

But it wasn't dead yet, it struggled to get up from the ground, and quickly wanted to escape to the depths of the tunnel.

It's just that Qi Lin didn't give it this chance. He quickly stepped forward and stepped on its ankle, and then snapped the opponent's neck.

"It seems to be a person..." Cheng Yanqiu came up and looked at the monster's body.

"It used to be a person."

There is almost no difference between this monster and a human being. Its skinny body looks like it has been starved for a long time, and its skin is white and scary. It is because it has not been exposed to light for a long time.

The limbs are long and slender, the long nails are sharp and hard, filled with all kinds of filthy things, the eyeballs have shrunk due to degeneration, but the teeth are abnormally developed, especially the two sharp canines, the length of which has exceeded the number of normal humans. times, exposed to the outside of the lips.

There was no hair on the monster's body, and blue-black blood vessels could be clearly seen under the pale skin, and the organs in the crotch that symbolized male identity had degenerated to the point where it could be ignored.

Qi Lin suddenly felt that this guy was almost exactly the same as the monster living in underground caves that the protagonist encountered in an old movie called "Dark Invasion".

But having said that, the original monster, that is, a humanoid adapted to underground life, and the creature that Qi Lin just killed, are highly consistent in background and environment.

They used to be humans, but now they can no longer be called humans.

"Do you think this kind of creature lives alone or in groups?" Qi Lin suddenly remembered, in "Darkness Invasion", there are more than one such humanoid monsters, and there are almost everywhere in that cave!

"I don't know...but I still hope it is a lone ranger." Cheng Yanqiu swallowed and said.
