I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

He finally saw Mary, who had stopped breathing.

The middle-aged woman's body was already covered with weeds, like a girl surrounded by flowers.

Lu Bian muttered apologetically, lifted Mary's body, and threw it out of the car through the door.

Finally, the fishes that followed the bus gave up their pursuit and circled around Mary's body. You took a bite, and I took a bite. They pecked at Mary's body and decomposed it in an instant.

Stone looked at Lu Bian with awe in his horror.

"leave me alone."

Lu Bian said, raised his hand, wrapped his fingers around the tender sprouts emerging from the bottom of his eyes, and tugged violently.

The creeping tiger-like shoot suddenly twitched, struggling and squirming like a wire worm, causing Lu Bian's intraocular pressure to rise and his right eye to turn red.

But Lu Bian didn't show any mercy, he just wrapped around his hand and pulled the sprout completely out.

The sprout with young leaves twisted in Lu Kian's hand, and he threw it out of the car.

Back in the driver's seat, Lu Bian picked up the crowbar, sat on the seat, held the steering wheel with his left hand, and pulled the upper arm of his left hand with his right hand. Throw out the window.

At the same time, in Lu Han's mouth, the babble from the distant stars sounded again.

"■■■■■—"

The grass and trees on his body that were waiting for the opportunity swayed and trembled, no longer growing. I wonder if it was an illusion. Even the fluorescence of the grass around the bus and the roadside began to dim.

Stone sat in the last row, covering his ears, struggling to endure the ravings of Landing's trip.

Lu Bian saw that ahead, not far away, the fluorescence had disappeared.

For the first time he wanted so much to see darkness.

Moments later, the bus pulled out of the meadow.

In other words, Lu Bian saw that the grass was shrinking.

It was like a living creature, moving towards the area to the left of the bus.

"It turns out... just like the rat tides move periodically, the grass moves on its own."

"Extraordinarily active grassland, soil, air, and those fish, constitute a special kind of ecosystem."

"The Rat People... took advantage of this ecology?"

Lu Bian, who stopped babbling, thought while his brain had not cooled down.

"These rat people themselves don't seem to be affected by the grass, just like the fish. Could it be that there is some kind of symbiosis between the two?"

"The rat man is responsible for attacking passing vehicles, the grass digests it, and finally becomes the nutrition for the fish, and the nutrition needed by the grass may come from the fish flying in the sky?"

In the wild of the abandoned city, these ecology seem to be self-contained.

Lu Triumph can understand why the "hound" who is a bounty hunter and Mary who is a biologist have no knowledge or warning about this grassland.

Because I am afraid that none of the travelers who have witnessed this strange "creature" have survived.

"You are lucky."

Thinking of this, Lu Bian said to the stone curled up in the co-pilot position.

"You witness a unique ecological structure on this ruin."

"Lucky?"

Stone couldn't believe Lu Kian's statement.

There were still the ravings of Lu Trip in his mind, and he always felt that a voice had been echoing in his ears, and some kind of knowledge that the stone did not understand was trying to change the structure of his brain.

This made Shishi's face ashen, like motion sickness, he wanted to vomit, but there was nothing in his stomach.

"...I read it in the book before and said that the rat people were originally human."

In an attempt to ease the pain, Stone recalled what he had read.

"They used to own a city, in the days when the waste capital was not a waste capital."

"That city is even more brilliant, more prosperous, and more lively than Abandoned Capital. It is the real city of hope."

"They relied on the mines in the center of the city, unearthed rare ores, and used these ores as fuel to build huge machinery."

As he spoke, the tone of Stone became calm, the pain seemed to go away, he could feel that his talk and memories were reaching a certain harmonious consensus with the chattering in his head, and he even felt extremely wonderful, I want to pour out all the thoughts in my head.

"But they dug down, dug down, and finally found something terrible."

"Overnight, the entire city collapsed into ruins."

"People thought there was a disaster in the city and no one survived, but in reality, they all survived."

"Survived, and was dominated by that terrible thing, and became a creature that could not see the sun."

"They became Rat Men."

Hearing this, Lu Bian turned his head slightly.

He saw that this young man, whose face was covered in blood, who had gone through a life-and-death adventure in his longing for the abandoned capital, had a cold and strange smile on his face.

===048. You should surrender yourself ===

The gloomy smile only lasted for a moment, and the stone showed a sleepy expression, as if all the energy was drained, he fell asleep.

Lu Bian retracted his gaze.

At that moment just now, he did feel that some unknown existence had descended upon this frail young man.

Perhaps for many years to come, this teenager will be tortured by a certain voice in his head, or he will gradually transform into some inhuman existence, just like those buried in the ruins that never see the light of day, and gradually alienate. Rat people in general.

Lu Bian focused on driving, as "Hound" said, all roads lead to waste cities.

When the darkness of the sky turned gray, and at the other side of the horizon, exciting golden sprouted, and finally drenched the sky, Lu Bian finally saw that at the end of the earth, some kind of human creation that was different from the ruins began to emerge. .

The first thing I saw was a high tower, followed by a row of buildings, which were completely different from the barbaric wilderness, and the buildings representing human civilization were lined up one after another.

Then, Lu Bian saw people, vehicles, horses, and people wearing long coats, commoners, and suits.

Different from what I imagined, there are more Chinese elements in Waste City than Lu Han expected.

After entering the city, stopping the bus, and being questioned by the police at the gate of the city, Lu Bian even saw women wearing cheongsam walking hand in hand on the street.

Between the streets, there are vaguely colorful signboards with the words "Fulinmen Restaurant", "Zhongji Dessert", "Fortune Pawnshop" and "Huang's Martial Arts Hall".

Little beggars in ragged clothes chased decent men in suits and leather shoes, soldiers with rifles walked in scattered queues, and men with silk and polite sunglasses were vigilantly guarding them. Next to the bustling market, there were dirty alleys and bright high-rise buildings. Compared with the narrow slums, if Lu Bian didn't know that he was in a foreign land, he might have thought that he had returned to the film and television city.

"Sir, do you want to stay overnight?"

There was a soft and melodious cheering sound behind him. Lu Bian turned his head and saw a graceful woman in a rose-red cheongsam. The woman had one hand in front of her and the other holding an unfolded folding fan. , the folding fan covered the lower half of the woman's face, but just looking at her eyebrows and eyes was enough to make one assert that she was a very beautiful and wonderful person.

"no need."

Lu Bian declined the invitation.

He glanced at the stone, then walked into the dirty, rotten dark alley.

The turbid muddy water constitutes a slightly vague system text.

[The mission has been completed, and now the return begins]

【321】

At the moment of his return, Lu Bian saw that at the entrance of the dark alley, the woman holding the folding fan was looking at this place with a smile that was not a smile, but he had no time to worry about it.

Countless bizarre colors defend the landing, and at the same time, the bright colors form the icy text.

【Welcome to the Quiet Place again】

After reading these words, Lu Bian just felt the soft mattress under him.

He looked around and found that he had returned to his warm and sweet home.

Lu Bian took out his phone and glanced at the time.

In the past three hours, he didn't confirm the time there, but the body sense was indeed a three-to-one flow of time.

It's still lit outside at ten o'clock at night.

Lu Bian glanced at himself. His clothes were tattered and there were bite marks on his arms. It seems that this system does not have the function of repairing the body?

He can only be thankful that there is not much grass growing in his body.

Lu Bian took off his clothes and pulled out a simple medical kit containing alcohol, cotton swabs, iodine, and bandages.

After disinfection, he looked at the wound.

The green that had grown in the wound had withered, and instead filled the missing flesh and blood.

Lu Bian probed into it with tweezers, picked up the still resilient branch, and pulled it out.

One, two, three, and twenty branches were pulled out of Lu Bian's body. These branches that had lost their vitality were drooping, and there was no difference in appearance from ordinary plants.

He dealt with the wound and walked into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

The faucet is turned on to wash away sweat and dirt.
