Cultivation from the top

Chapter 68
When the giant centipede was still in the form of a bug, it showed a strong desire to attack. After attacking three patrol personnel, it turned into a human form and walked towards the Kunlun Mountain scenic spot.But on the way, another part of the patrol personnel wanted to stop them forcibly, but was instantly killed by the humanoid monster.If that thing could move freely during the day, the Kunlun Mountain City would be in a miserable state at this time.But so far, the victims are only patrol officers, and have not received any reports from other ordinary citizens.In this way, it can be roughly inferred that the thing is a nocturnal creature, and it is enough to go out less unnecessary before the arrival of the armed police force.It's just that whether the night patrol should continue or not depends on Cheng Tianye's thoughts.After all, the night patrol of Kunlun Mountain City was arranged by Cheng Tianye, and the right to speak was also in his hands, and no one else could intervene.

Seeing that Cheng Tianye was about to disappear from the gate of the police station, the chief hurriedly called to stop.

"Mr. Cheng, please wait a moment."

Cheng Tianye turned his head and looked at the director.

"Anything else?"

"I hope Mr. Cheng can think about it again about the night patrol."

Although Cheng Tianye did not directly reject the chief, he did not return to the police station to continue discussing details.

"I think this kind of thing should be put aside for a while. After all, before the arrival of the special forces, ordinary people didn't even have the ability to protect themselves. At this time, forcibly maintaining law and order from within the crowd, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"

In fact, the nighttime law and order in Kunlun Mountain City is very good, there are no troublemakers, and there have been no incidents that caused casualties to ordinary people for nearly five years.The current night patrols are only sending some drunken people to taxis, and occasionally responsible for the maintenance of some street lights, which is really unnecessary.And what happened last night has far exceeded the limit that human beings can achieve with bare hands. Even if more night patrols are sent out, there is no way to stop the progress of that beyond imagination.At this time, we can only count on the support of the special police force.It's just that the patrol officers who wore slightly stronger clothes were brutally murdered, and ordinary people were even less able to resist.Therefore, at this stage, staying at home honestly is the best way, instead of letting a dozen patrol officers risk being killed by monsters and act as live targets at night.

The director also understands this truth, but when this happens, it is best to maintain the status quo, and the status quo includes security personnel patrolling the streets every night.Once they are all withdrawn, it will make the people feel uncomfortable.Therefore, the director's idea is to just place patrols in a few streets, and he can leave on his own when the time comes to avoid such a tragedy.

However, Cheng Tianye's meaning was very clear. If this kind of thing happened again, no matter how many security personnel there were, they would become the meat of the negative layer. Cheng Tianye would never allow this kind of situation.Moreover, there is not enough evidence to prove that throwing the patrol personnel into the monster's mouth can ensure the safety of the melon-eating crowd nearby, no, slipping away from the monster's nose alive.Rather than spend a lot of life trying to reach a conclusion that is actually useless, it is better to give up this immature idea from the very beginning.It's better to hide in the closet than yell at monsters in the street.

Seeing that the director was speechless, Cheng Tianye knew that the conversation could not go on, so he asked again.

"Anything else?"

The chief could only shake his head.

The chief who sat back on the chair thought for a long time, grabbed the landline on the table, and dialed the deputy chief's phone number.

"You don't have to come back for the time being. If you can't find any clues, you can do publicity. The content says that because of the heavy rain, you should avoid going out in the next few days."

The director who hung up the phone looked at the ceiling. The paint in several places had cracked. It seemed that a slightly stronger wind would fall down and fall to the ground, turning into pieces.

The director picked up the thermos cup, gulped down a big mouthful of tea, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the phone number again.

"Hello? Leader, about what I mentioned to you just now..."

……

At the foot of Kunlun Mountains.

A thin man was standing less than one meter away from Kunlun Mountain, staring blankly at the unmoved Kunlun Mountain. He was wearing clothes that looked like rags. He seemed to be wearing rags as a cover-up On the body, there is no mud on the feet without shoes.The whole person stood there like a piece of wood, as if waiting for someone, more like becoming confused because he suddenly woke up and found himself in a strange environment.

The man's eyes narrowed into a slit, as if he was very uncomfortable with the direct sunlight from the top of his head, but he didn't know how to cover it with his hands, so he could only gather the muscles of his entire face together, squinted his eyes, and continued to stand.

The man raised his arm like a piece of wood, and then watched in amazement that the arm was like a branch blocking his head.The man who found out that his arm had this effect immediately did other tests.For example, put your thighs on your head.This kind of thing that can only be seen in funny performances happened to a man in this way, and the result was as expected, the man's thighs were slightly stiff, and his whole body fell heavily into the standing water beside him, causing a burst of splashes .

Because the man fell face to the ground, the accumulated water entered the lungs from the man's mouth and nasal cavity at once, and the choked man got up from the ground in a panic, coughing violently and making painful noises.

As if discovering a new species, the man touched his mouth, his tongue with his inflexible fingers, and even touched his mouth all over with his fingers.The vocal cords trembled slightly, and the sound from the throat made the man ecstatic.But this happiness can only last a short time.Because the man did not speak a long series of words, but repeated simple syllables from beginning to end without any change.

The man's arms were like two vines, flung to the sides of his body.He began to think about how the people he had seen spoke.It seems to open the mouth, then close the mouth, and what action is needed to assist in speaking a complete sentence.

The man's mouth opened and closed in the air, and he experimented several times, but still did not send out any business.

The slightly angry man stirred his mouth with his tongue, and when the tip of his tongue touched his teeth, his mouth opened by coincidence, making a weak "hissing" sound.

The man who grasped the technique quickly made a simple combination of tongue, teeth, mouth and inhalation and exhalation. After more than ten minutes of practice, relying on his previous memory, the man actually learned to speak.

"Help me, save me."

The words that came out of the man's mouth were quite meaningful.

Even men can't figure out why those humans lying on the ground say such things.

What exactly does that mean?
Men don't understand.
