mechanical court

The truck drove slowly across the road, and in front of it was a deciduous tree forest separated by the road, which looked like a sycamore tree in outline.

There is an open space in the deciduous forest. The ground is made of marble fragments. Inside is a small street lamp that is flickering with electric sparks and looks like it may be scrapped at any time.There is also a statue of a local celebrity in the woods on the right, and there is a large wooden sign beside it, engraved with some of his classic deeds.

Maybe the people who designed this place did this to make the woods look a bit artistic.Maybe there was an artistic atmosphere before, but now I can't feel it at all.In the strong wind, the branches of the trees seemed to be dancing wildly, together with the shadows of the trees on the ground, they swayed violently, giving people a feeling of death in the frenzy.

"..."

After Ivan drove the truck into the woods, he turned off the engine and stopped. He could feel the twisted and chaotic atmosphere here was extremely strong.It seems to be a crater that is burning fiercely, and it may wake up and erupt at any time.

When he parked the car and turned off the engine, the white bear in the rear compartment immediately warned: "Captain, do you feel it too? If there is a source of this chaotic area, then I can be sure it is here!"

"Yes, you guys also prepare. This guy gives me a much stronger feeling than the previous one, and I need your cooperation." After ordering, Ivan walked out of the cab wearing windproof goggles and walked towards the deciduous tree forest on the right side of the road. go.

Chapter 1 Source

Under the twisted tree shadows dancing wildly with the wind, the blurry night seems to condense into a pool of muddy ink, splashing in every corner of the woods.Intertwined into a slowly floating dark vortex, making the trees in the forest a little twisted and weird.

There were faint whimpering sounds in the wind, like the cry of a woman, or the neighing of air blowing through the branches of a tree.

Ivan walked in the front with his eyes closed, followed by the white bear and the seal with his shoulders on the left and right.

The three of them couldn't help but feel a little weird when they heard the voice, so they stopped and listened quietly for a while.After confirming that it was not rumors, they took another step.Next to the military truck, Rarity and another researcher are struggling to walk in the wind.They were ready to take out the spare gasoline from the side compartment to deal with the danger that might come next.

When Yiwen and the others groped their way to the depths of the woods, a chill gradually surged behind their backs. It was an indescribable feeling.Inexplicably, the hairs all over his body stood up. At this moment, even a dull seal felt the real pressure.

Not only that, the white bear and the seal even began to feel a little blurry in front of their eyes, and strangely, the coolness that entangled them became more and more intense.

After advancing about 30 meters in the woods, there were faint bursts of light blue light in the dark corner, lingering in the whirlwind and tree shadows like fireflies.It was very uncomfortable, because the phosphorescent fire at night is this color.

"Ice Bear, can you be sure where that thing is?" Ivan asked with his eyes closed.

"I can't do it for the time being. The feeling of taking things is everywhere." Bai Xiong replied in an erratic tone that varies from time to time.

"It seems that not only vision, but also our hearing has been disturbed to some extent." After hearing his companion's answer, Ivan knew that this was not his original voice, but the result of being interfered by the invisible distortion force here.

"Captain, you may not have seen it with your eyes closed. But there are a lot of light spots in the woods, like a pack of wolves peeping in the dark." The seal swallowed sharply as he looked at those dark light spots.

"I know that the temperature of those flames is very low, and they are not lethal."

"I hope so……"

As the seal spoke, he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and then forced himself to remain calm with severe pain.

As they moved forward, the whimpering in the strong wind was still constant, and they started to howl intermittently. It was hard to tell whether it was pain or anger.Those light blue flames were also like jellyfish swarms in the deep sea, rushing to them one after another, slowly rotating around them and increasing in number.

"Hush...huh..."

The three of them increased their breathing at the same time, and a strange feeling suddenly spread throughout their bodies.Under the shroud of these light spots, the dark and gloomy woods are as bright as a stage with the curtain opened.

The seal and the white bear stared at the firelight with their eyes open, and vaguely saw the scenery behind the light—thick piles of meat like hills piled up in the depths of the woods, wrapped in a layer of translucent mucus, and inside there were a lot of The eyeballs are constantly turning, as if peeking at everything around.

Those blue flames floated and danced on these piles of minced meat, condensed one after another, and then floated towards them in groups.At the same time, the minced meat was wriggling, like volcanic lava, slowly submerging the woods and rushing towards them.The speed is very slow, but it makes people feel creepy, and it is accompanied by bursts of stench.

"Captain! The current situation is terrible! I saw a pile of rotten meat in the woods that was taller than the mountain. They are still slowly flowing towards this side, and they seem to be planning to drown us!" The seal screamed quickly Remind Evan.

"What rotten meat? I only feel the airflow and leaves." Ivan closed his eyes and continued walking, covering every inch of his skin with penetrating force, sensing the changes of various factors in the air, and he was sure that there was nothing he said those things.

"I didn't see any rotten pieces of meat either?" Ice Bear looked around intently, except for a little bit of blue light, there was no shadow of rotting meat in the woods.

"Since you all say that... Is it because I'm hallucinating?"

The seal couldn't believe his eyes at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

Unexpectedly, the ground quickly became sticky and wrinkled, and the feet felt uneven when stepped on it.He wanted to tell his teammates how he felt, but chunks of flesh kept coming from the surrounding ground and air, and a large amount of mucus fell from the top of his head, covering his head.

The seal suddenly felt suffocated, and his chest became more and more uncomfortable. He patted Ivan's shoulder vigorously, but the other party did not respond.He knew very well that if he continued like this, even if he wasn't scared to death, he would suffocate to death.

For a while, many situations flashed in his head, and the whole person's vision, taste, and touch were all distorted.His brain also became chaotic, with countless noisy thoughts circling in his mind, and gradually, his consciousness began to blur.

"There seemed to be something wrong with the seal! He was completely engulfed in the environment and even stopped breathing!"

The white bear quickly noticed the abnormality, and found that the teammates beside him turned their eyes white, their expressions were painful, and their noses kept opening and closing but they didn't take in air—they looked like they were soaked in deep water and couldn't breathe.

"Huh? Let me try!"

Hearing what he said, Ivan immediately slapped the seal's chest with his backhand. His five forked fingers trembled slightly against the chest, and the force penetrated through the skin membrane muscles and went straight to the lungs.

"hiss--!"

The seal gasped suddenly, and felt a strong air flow directly into the viscera, filling the alveoli as if inflated, and the pieces of minced meat that submerged him disappeared in an instant.

"Huh...huh..."

He gasped for relief, and when he looked at the surrounding scenery again, there were only blue spots left in the dark woods.

"Are you all right?" Ivan asked with concern, retracting his claws.

"Well, thank you very much!" Seal immediately nodded in response.

one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one

After the impact of this wave of illusion, the seal's resistance has improved a lot. Not only did he not have hallucinations again, but even the twisted coolness that had been entangled with him eased a lot.He noticed the change in himself, and he immediately gained a lot of confidence-as expected, as long as he didn't take those monsters seriously, they were bluffing garbage.

Woo-woo-!

The three of them advanced another 20 meters in this way, and the shrill whimpers became more and more clear, as if they were roaring crazily against their ears.And with the rotation of the airflow, it is erratic, sometimes in the east and sometimes in the west, making it difficult to distinguish the specific location of the sound source.

"Ice Bear, how do you feel?"

After walking to a slightly spacious ground, Yiwen stopped and paused for a moment, and asked with some doubts.

"This is the center of chaos!"

Bai Xiong answered with certainty, and then frowned and added: "If you want to ask the exact location of that thing, the only answer I can give is - underground!"

"Feel the same."

Yiwen nodded lightly in relief, then took a deep breath, his expression instantly became serious.The skin and flesh all over the body were hardened, and the blue veins were bursting, and the whole person rose upwards with the thunderous roar of bones, as if turning into a steel sculpture, with a layer of cold and hard metallic luster in the night.

"The battle is officially underway!"

He shouted loudly, and after a flash of pain flashed across his face, the airflow exhaled from his nasal cavity suddenly heated up, as if it was the water vapor ejected when boiling water boiled.

Seeing this, the seal and the white bear immediately backed away, and at the same time grabbed the safety rope around their waists and tugged hard.When the researchers parked next to the truck saw the movement, they immediately pushed the gasoline barrel tied to the safety rope over.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Ivan let out a heavy growl in his throat, and suddenly raised his right leg, like the front hoof of a steed.The entire right leg suddenly swelled and thickened, and the waves of muscle churning spread all the way to the calf, and then trampled down, landing hard on the muddy ground.
