I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Turning off the camping lights, putting the pot aside, Lu Bian leaned on the chair, waiting for the end of the journey.

He didn't think things would end here, otherwise he would look down on the most difficult task too much.

After helping the "Hound" with a simple treatment of the wound, Lu Bian came to the co-pilot's position.

He looked at the road ahead, illuminated by the high beams, and stretched, toward the empty horizon.

"Have you driven this road many times?"

Lu Bian spoke up.

"Ah."

The driver responded, still keeping his focus.

Lu Bian did not continue chatting to disturb the driver, but also looked forward.

These ruins are one after another, and there are few empty places. It is conceivable how magnificent a civilized city was once here.

The bus traveled for two hours.

The stone that had eaten was attacked by fatigue and fell into a drowsy sleep.

The others kept their spirits, especially Lu Bian.

If he hadn't thought it would be weird to take out his phone at this time, he might have to play some songs.

Driving at night without some background music.

Just as Lu Jian sat on the co-pilot and carefully studied the crowbar in his hand, he felt a sudden light in front of him.

Looking up, he saw a face pressed against the window glass, cloudy eyes staring at him.

It was a face that could never be called a human being.

The eyes are small, with dark vertical pupils in the yellow, and the head is sharp, like some kind of beast.

But behind that face were slender limbs and a body, like an ape, but pale and hairless, and its fingers were slender, with pointed claws at the ends, slapping the car window.

crunch--

The driver was also frightened by this sudden accident. With a dozen steering wheels, the whole car lost its balance, dashed forward and fell down, flipping over.

After a lap, the wheels touched the ground again, but the inside of the car was a mess, the lights went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Lu Bian clenched the crowbar tightly and immediately raised his head.

But the monster in the front window had disappeared.

Only at this time did Lu Bian realize that there was a faint light around him.

He looked out the window vigilantly, it was not a ruin, but a piece of vegetation.

These plants grow savagely, reaching a height of one person, exuding a faint green light that slightly illuminates the interior of the car.

"Hound" stood up swayingly, he pulled up the awakened stone, and checked Mary's condition again.

Mary was slumped on the back of the front seat, yet to recover.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Bian turned his head to ask the driver, but found that the driver's seat was empty, the windows were shattered, and the bloated driver seemed to be thrown out.

"What kind of plant is this?"

The Hound came to the front door, shoved it open, and walked down.

Lu Bian followed behind him, the ground under his feet was soft, like mud soaked in water.

He looked behind the car a little, and the steel giant rolled out a little trace, and he could see that it was not very far from the road.

But at this time, Lu Bian found that the crushed traces seemed to be gradually closing.

These green plants, as if alive, swayed in the wind.

"incredible"

Mary followed and got out of the car. She looked at the grass and trees that were taller than her and reached out to touch them.

She pushed aside a cluster.

Behind the glowing plant, a face suddenly appeared.

Thank you for your votes, favorites, rewards, and support!

Ask for a ticket!

===044. Grass ===

That face was riddled with holes, it had been corrupt for a long time, and even the fear had dissipated from the wooden expression.

The head was scattered on the gathered hay, and even the insects were unwilling to cling to it.

Mary took two sharp steps back, bumping into something hard.

She hurriedly turned around, only to find that it was Lu Bian.

"This person has been dead for a while?"

Lu Bian fiddled with the head with a crowbar, and the unbalanced head just rolled to the ground.

"An accident will not leave only one head. What dangerous creatures are around?"

Lu Bian's crowbar pulled away the faintly fluorescent weeds, and he picked up the flashlight and illuminated the front.

"there's noise."

"Hound" seemed to hear some noise, and he still used his right hand to take out a pistol and aim it in front.

Lu Bian listened carefully and heard nothing.

Very quiet, too quiet.

Usually in such lush grass, there must be many mosquitoes, small animals, and maybe there are big mice like just now.

But now, the whole meadow is silent, without the slightest sound.

No.

Gah-

Lu Bian followed the direction of the "Hound" and heard a change.

It sounded like the last whimper from the mouth of a patient who had been in bed for a long time, with a strange, goosebump-like sound.

Crisp and continuous, like glass beads rolling down the ground.

quack quack quack-

The "Hound" stepped on the tall grass and walked forward vigilantly. The fluorescent grass just fell down, forming a narrow road.

Lu Bian glanced back. Mary and Shito were staying at the door of the car, staring in the direction of him and the "Hound". The two figures were gradually obscured by grass and trees, and only the roof of the bus was faintly visible.

quack quack quack-

A series of whimpering sounds came from the front again, and the light of Lu Kian's flashlight passed through the dense and lush grass, and seemed to shine on something.

"Hound" slowed down a little, gave Lu Bian a wink, and then rushed out of the grass screen.

Lu Dian followed closely, and he felt that the ground under his feet suddenly became soft. Before he could feel it carefully, he saw that this was an open field.

The grass taller than a person avoided this piece of land invariably. The ground was dark, like a pile of humus. In the center of this area, which was less than the size of a basketball court, lay a bloated and fat man.

is the bus driver.

"Hey."

Seeing this, the "Hound" barked at him with some vigilance.

"rescue"

The driver made a weak, hard sound, his arms twisted in unnatural directions, and a leg appeared to be broken, apparently suffering from being thrown out of the car.

"Don't move, I'll go right over."

"Hound" immediately prepared to close the gun to save people.

However, Lu Bian raised the crowbar and stopped the "Hound".

"I feel something is wrong."

Lu Bian's inspiration told him that the area ahead was a big problem.

Why is there such an open area in such a lush, savage grass?

Why is the soil here softer and darker?

How did this driver get dumped so far from the bus?

"rescue"

The driver continued to howl in pain.

Lu Bian thought about it, took out a pack of compressed dry food from his backpack, and threw it towards the driver.

Snapped--

The bag of compressed dry food fell next to the driver's body.

"!!!"

The "hound" who didn't act rashly saw that the soil next to the driver started to squirm.

The black soil seemed to have life, squirming slightly, and then, under the bag of compressed dry food, a little green came out.

It's a new green shoot.

Outside the flashlight's area, the world is silent and dark, and within that aperture some kind of life is being conceived.

A handful of grass emerged from the black soil and covered the compressed dry food. After a while, the compressed dry food disappeared, leaving only a small piece of green grass.

"Save quack quack quack quack"

The driver's cry for help gradually changed its pitch, became distorted, and finally became the strange sound Lu Kian and Hound had heard earlier.
