Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

Lin Yi pulled Zhang Cheng back carefully. The blood splattered on those people was not clean. There were unknown things mixed in it. If it got on them, no one knew what would happen -

Either he was infected with the plague, or parasites took the opportunity to infiltrate his body, or his skin rotted.

Lin Yi didn't dare to get involved. They were different from the residents in the periphery. These people had mutated for more than a hundred years to become what they are now. They had adapted to the plague, lived in symbiosis with parasites, and completely integrated into the surrounding environment.

But Lin Yi and Zhang Cheng are different. This is their first time here, and it is a feast for two of them.

"Let's stay away." Lin Yi wanted to retreat for another reason, that is, this scene was so disgusting.

Zhang Cheng didn't care, although this scene made him feel uncomfortable, so he could just look away.

"Can you find Hao Ren's location?" Zhang Cheng asked in a low voice.

"I'll try." Lin Yi tried his best not to pay attention to the scene not far away, but the sound of their chewing continued to reach his ears. The sound of chewing and chewing with relish was really difficult to ignore.

Lin Yi calmed himself down first, and then, the thread of fate emerged, and the guidance of fate started!

"Yes!" Lin Yi whispered.

The threads emitting faint light slowly floated not far away and came to the heads of the surrounding residents who were eating. Fortunately, they did not stop and continued to move forward.

But soon, the thread suddenly began to fall and connected to the outermost person in the pile.

"Hiss—" Lin Yi took a breath.

This person...is Hao Ren? !

Impossible!

Compared with the surrounding residents who gathered around to eat, the person connected by the thread was much smaller.

Not only his limbs, but also there was no fat on his body, his ribs could even be seen through the skin, and even his bulging belly was much smaller, not even connected to his chin.

The bulging bellies of these people seemed to contain a lot of gas—perhaps the gas expelled by parasites in their bodies.

Moreover, there is an extra arm as thick as a middle finger on his left shoulder. The small arm is waving and even has fingers, making it look even weirder.

The little thin man's body is relatively small. Compared with other people, he seems to have little strength and cannot squeeze in at all.

He turned around, his face full of anxiety, and finally found an opening, trying desperately to squeeze in and get a bite of meat.

Unfortunately, as soon as he squeezed in, he was squeezed out by people on both sides.

These people are not polite when it comes to food.

Raising his arm to hit the thin man with an elbow, or raising his leg and kicking him back.

The thin man was no match for the others and had no chance of taking a bite.

These people don't have much intelligence, and they retain their most primitive desires. Therefore, when facing food, they don't care whether others have eaten it.

In this close to primitive ecology, weak people are not qualified to survive.

The little thin man didn't seem to give up. He was still turning around them, and his limbs even rubbed a big circle mark on the ground, but no matter what he did, he just couldn't squeeze in.

Maybe he realized it himself, so he could only change a new target, quickly lie down on the ground, greedily licking the blood splattered on the ground - after these people finish eating the meat, I'm afraid he won't even be able to lick the blood. .

Such a person could never be Hao Ren.

Even if Hao Ren has mutated due to the environment here during this period, it is impossible for him to become so comprehensive in such a short period of time, or even shrink in size.

Even if Hao Ren turned into this ghost, he should be their leader.

When this idea came to his mind, Lin Yi felt that something was wrong. This was not a good idea and was a bit unlucky.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Cheng noticed that Lin Yi was silent.

"The thread is connected to the outermost person." Lin Yi said truthfully.

"What?" Zhang Cheng was a little surprised, "Has Hao Ren been eaten by him?!"

"..."

Well, I thought my idea was weird enough, but Zhang Cheng's idea turned out to be even more extreme.

But when I think about it carefully, there seems to be no problem.

Hao Ren was eaten, and they couldn't find Hao Ren. The guidance of fate could only guide them to find Hao Ren's remaining, undigested...meat.

"Don't talk nonsense."

In fact, there is a reason why Lin Yi and the others think so.

This ghost place is not normal at all. Although there are only a few residents in the periphery in front of you, the total number of people in the entire periphery is staggering.

You know, besides eating, they reproduce.

Humans are social animals, and these peripheral residents will still gather together even if they become the ghost they are now.

If they discover Hao Ren, they will definitely attack him in groups.

In addition, Hao Ren was injured and was no match for these peripheral residents.

Being eaten seems understandable.

However, even if Hao Ren was eaten, he would never be eaten by the thin man not far away.

He was too thin. If it were a bigger outlying resident, Lin Yi and Zhang Cheng might still believe it, but the possibility of this person is extremely small - Hao Ren is not enough for them, so even if he is really eaten , even this little thin man can’t grab it.

"Maybe Hao Ren is too far away from us, so the thread guidance can only be connected to some necessary factors."

For example, when dealing with the Thousand Eyes Pseudo Tree in Kuwait, the guidance of fate was only connected to the necessary factors, and it was only one of the factors.

"In other words, as long as we follow this person, we should be able to find Hao Ren."

When he said this, the man on the ground had been eaten up, leaving only a pile of bones that had been licked clean.

But they seemed to be not full yet, and continued to dig at the pile of stones, trying to find rats from it to fill their stomachs.

After the crowd dispersed, the little skinny man hurriedly crawled over.

The bones on the ground were black, especially the spine, which was even covered with dense holes, and it was unknown what had drilled them.

The little skinny man didn't care, he lowered his head and gnawed.

He couldn't gnaw it, so he could only hold it in his mouth to taste it, which made Lin Yi feel sick again.

"Do you think these people can be saved?" Zhang Cheng sighed.

This sentence was not asked to Lin Yi, nor to himself, but to Leohard, wanting him to see this scene with his own eyes.

After hundreds of years of development, these people outside the city of Pease have formed a new ethnic group.

The reason why Zhang Cheng felt that the salvation organization founded by Leohard was just playing house was because of this scene in front of him.

Leohard had never been to such a place, so the darkness he thought was actually not worth mentioning.

The real darkness, the real abyss, is a more terrifying reality.

They can't save these people. After all, after hundreds of years of development, this way of life has been deeply rooted in the people here.

To completely change them and make him a real "person" again, it will also take hundreds of years.

So, all they can do is to let them be free.
