Evolve from a dream

Chapter 4 Opposite
Lin Zheng didn't know how much time had passed. When he came to his senses, silence had returned outside the door.

The cat's eyes were covered by blood, unable to see what was going on outside. Lin Ying lay on the door and listened closely for a long time before opening the door.

In the corridor at the door, there were piles of torn and gnawed fragments of corpses. Blood spread down the corridors of the old building, and Lin Ying was suffocated by the stench.

eat human?

Lin Ying looked up at the open door of the neighbor's house opposite, and the monster came out of it.

There lived a family of three on the opposite side. The husband and wife were very nice. During the winter solstice, they gave Lin Ying dumplings made by them. Their daughter, Cheng Xiaoyu, was in the third grade of primary school. Every time she saw Lin Ying, she sweetly called her brother.

I don't know what happened to their family...

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ying decided to go and have a look.

As soon as Lin Ying stepped out of his leg, he stepped on something. As soon as he retracted his foot, Lin Ying saw the deformed eyeball on the ground, the fluid overflowed and mixed with blood, and the stench was jointed again. Lin Ying almost vomited out .

Fortunately, when Lin Zheng was a child, he and his adoptive father stayed in the city sewers to avoid debts, so after calming down, Lin Zheng suppressed the nausea in his chest.

Because he was not sure whether there was danger in the opposite room, Lin Zheng picked up the fire ax brought by Wang Tao.

After picking up the axe, Lin Yan stepped into the opposite door.

On the white floor tiles was blood that had solidified.

"Cheng Xiaoyu?" Lin Zheng called out the name of the little neighbor girl, but got no response.

Lin Zheng took a deep breath violently, in order to relieve his nervousness. The cold air mixed with the smell of blood entered Lin Zheng's nasal cavity. He walked around the entrance and came to the living room.

On the floor of the living room, there were scattered knuckles and bloody muscle tissue everywhere.

However, the strange thing is that these scattered remains do not look like human limbs.

Lin Ying squatted down and looked at the half of the finger carefully.

The fingers showed a yellowish color close to green, and the black nails were as sharp as some kind of beast.

Lin Ying frowned slightly. If he wanted to know what it was, he might need to follow the bloodstains to see.

After standing up, Lin Ying walked to the door of the bedroom along the place where the blood was dripping on the floor.

There is someone in the bed!

The curtains in the bedroom were closed, so the light was a little dim, but the weird black figure standing on the bed could still be seen.

The shadow was twisted on the bed in a strange posture, because the light was too dark, so it could only be seen that it was something like a huge crab.

This thing...is it really a human?

Lin Ying clenched the fire ax in his hand, fine sweat seeped from his forehead, afraid that this thing would jump up in a second.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement from the "crab" on the bed. Lin Zheng swallowed before walking into the bedroom and pressing the switch on the wall.

At the moment when the orange light came on, Lin Ying almost staggered and sat on the ground.

Because the person on the bed was Cheng Xiaoyu's mother.

However, she no longer looked like Cheng Xiaoyu's mother.

She sat on the bed with her legs bent in a weird way. There were three arms on her body, extending towards the left and right sides in a rigid curved arc. There were incomplete broken arms at other places on both sides of her body. It's like being pulled down by someone.

The most frightening thing was that her head was also torn apart from her neck due to some external force, and the remaining tissue was connected to the gap. The head was hanging precariously on the chest, and her hair and blood were sticky together.

How could this be?
How did she grow eight arms?And five arms were torn off!
Could it be the monster who bit Wang Tao and the others?
All kinds of information kept gathering in Lin Ying's mind. When he was in a daze, the closet door next to him popped open with a "snap".

Lin Ying swung the fire ax in his hand and pointed in the direction of the wardrobe, but what appeared was not something scary, but a girl sitting huddled up on a pile of clothes.

The little girl's shoulder-length younger sister's head was a little messy, and she was still wearing a pink rabbit pajamas suit, but her little face was covered with tears.

Her slender arms rested on the closet door, and her lips were trembling slightly. She really wanted to say something, but she couldn't make any sound.

"Little fish?" Lin Ying walked quickly to the closet and put the fire ax in his hand aside.

In Lin Zheng's impression, Cheng Xiaoyu had a fleshy little round face and clear eyes like crescent moons when he smiled, but at this moment Cheng Xiaoyu had a sickly face, his face was so pale that it was a little bluish, and his big The eyes are as empty as a cobwebbed room that has been covered in dust for a long time.

Was she in the closet all the time?

Didn't she witness her mother...

Lin Ying glanced at the strange corpse on the bed out of the corner of his eye, then reached out and touched Cheng Xiaoyu's head: "Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

Perhaps because she stayed in this small and confined space for too long, Lin Ying's appearance finally allowed her to see a glimmer of light, and all her suppressed emotions were released at this time.

"Brother! I'm so scared..."

Cheng Xiaoyu grabbed Lin Zheng's sleeve and let out a hoarse cry of despair, almost desperate.

"It's okay, it's okay, brother is here..." Lin Ying comforted, Cheng Xiaoyu hugged Lin Ying's neck, buried his face on Lin Ying's shoulder, and the crying still didn't stop.

Just now, Wang Tao and the others made a noise in the corridor, so the monster was attracted out. Cheng Xiaoyu's cry might also attract the monster back.

Thinking of this, Lin Ying carried Cheng Xiaoyu out of the closet, picked up the fire ax and walked outside.

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't control his emotions for a while, so he could only take her back to his home to have a rest and then ask her about the situation.

Lin Zheng carried Cheng Xiaoyu back home. After wiping the blood on the door's peephole, he carefully locked the doors and windows before sitting down on the sofa and letting out a long breath.

Cheng Xiaoyu nestled on the sofa, hugging the pillow, crying much softer than before, only a slight sob remained.

Lin Ying looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, and wanted to ask her what happened, but he was afraid of stimulating her emotions, so he swallowed the words abruptly.

"I just... saw the corpse at the door."

Cheng Xiaoyu lowered her eyelashes, as if she was staring at the pillow in her hand, but her eyes were very empty.

"Hmm..." Lin Yan didn't expect Cheng Xiaoyu to speak suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "It's the people who want debts, their voices attracted that monster..."

"The monster is my father." Cheng Xiaoyu said, slowly raising his head.

"It's strange..." Lin Ying's words were stuck in his throat, and the emotion of surprise spread in Lin Ying's eyes.

That monster that eats and tears people apart is actually Cheng Xiaoyu's father?
"So, your father..." Lin Ying swallowed, and now he can't imagine what this nine-year-old girl has gone through.

Cheng Xiaoyu lowered his head and wrung his hands together: "The companies where father and mother work are in Shanglin District. Because of the pollution disease, the company closed down, and father and mother lost their jobs at the same time. They are under a lot of pressure, so during this time, They fight a lot, and Mom and Dad often have nightmares..."

"Are they... having nightmares?" Lin Zheng frowned. The incubation symptom of pollution disease is nightmares.

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded: "Well, when Mom and Dad quarreled, they said that they were tormented by nightmares, and so did Dad. I read on the news that this is a pollution disease..."

pollution disease.

monster.

Lin Ying sorted out his thoughts and found that this incident was not so simple.

After the pollution disease appeared, Shanglin District was blocked, and the people above quickly set up a special guard team to deal with these things, but everyone didn't know what the pollution disease was, and they would become sick again if they got the pollution disease. What does it look like...

However, Cheng Xiaoyu's parents turned into monsters because of the nightmare!

Could it be that the pollution disease will make them evolve into monsters? !
After having this idea, Lin Ying was also taken aback.

"Brother, are my parents okay?" Cheng Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at Lin Ying again, her gray eyes were full of expectation.
