I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 128 Fatal Attraction

No one spoke for a while.

In the wasteland city after 3000 years, there are almost no traces left by human beings. Only some buildings that once served as the city skyline still stand tall. To be precise, they were frozen in place and could not collapse.

And these wreckages have also become nests for bugs.

Cui Zuojing took a deep breath, and murmured in a low voice: "No wonder it's a survival dungeon. It's pretty good to be able to survive like this."

Wang Que stood there dumbfounded, staring at everything in front of her, as if she was frightened silly. Cui Zuojing patted her on the shoulder and asked with concern: "Uncomfortable?"

It took Wang Que a long time to come back to her senses, she swallowed hard, and clenched her fists with the hand hanging by her side: "It's okay."

Seeing that the door was open, Dong Linhai and the others also came over. Everyone was stunned when they saw so many giant worms with strange shapes that looked like creatures invading. How is this going to work? We are not going to go to the biochemical base surrounded by these things, are we?"

Cui Zuojing: "It's unfortunate to tell you, now it seems that yes, maybe you can meet even scarier things when you arrive at the biochemical base."

Allen suddenly thought: "Have you ever played StarCraft?"

Dong Linhai: "I've played it, these things... are basically boxes made according to Zerg's standard configuration."

Dong Zheng doesn't know much about video games: "How to say?"

Linhai: "In Star Wars, there are three major races: Human Race, Protoss Race, and Zerg Race. The Zerg Race has occupied a place in the universe with its tenacious vitality and huge numbers. I feel that if these bugs are allowed to develop, after the end of the Ice Age , Humans who immigrated from outside the system return to Earth, and things will become a war between the human race and the Zerg race.”

"Anyway, confronting them head-on with our firepower is a dead end."

The biological light emitted by the swarms of insects in the ruins of the city was refracted by the ice and snow to produce a strange light, and it was still a bit beautiful for a while. Cui Zuojing took a deep breath and said: "Don't stand there stupidly, get enough energy and hurry up. I think it’s better to save a little time on the road, the real big head must still be in the biochemical base.”

Everyone agreed and turned back to the supermarket.

Wang Que stood still.

She looked straight at the distant sky. At the end of her sight, the former Wanda Twin Towers stood tall. In the middle of the two towers, a huge beehive hung.

As the darkness gradually deepened, black and yellow bees continued to fly back to their nests from afar.

She seemed to hear a steady heartbeat, thump, thud, as the hive swayed in the wind, slower than hers.

That is the will of the swarm.

The frozen soil under his feet was slightly turned up, and the translucent worm protruded from it with a soft fusiform body. In the breathing holes on the back, the fine tentacles waved lightly, sensing everything around it.

Seeing that Wang Que didn't move, Dong Linhai stopped, turned around and called, "Wang Que?"

The girl didn't seem to hear his voice at all. Dong Linhai scratched his head, but his hand touched the helmet.

He stepped back, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Que's shoulder lightly: "Don't look, go back."

Wang Que turned around as if waking up from a dream, and saw Dong Linhai's face under the mask, and was momentarily dazed.

She couldn't tell who she was.

Dong Linhai was alarmed by the transparent worm that had dug out of the frozen ground and barely touched her ankle, and disappeared like it melted.Wang Que shook her head, brushing away the hallucinatory scene from her mind, and said with a smile, "Okay."

Dong Linhai managed to find a few overturned bottles of compressed oxygen in the corner of the supermarket. The protective clothing can carry a total of four bottles of compressed oxygen. Now everyone has used up one bottle and replaced it with new oxygen. Dong Zheng sent them The few compressed foods on the body are distributed to everyone.

The water in the military kettle was frozen to the point of freezing. Cui Zuojing took a flamethrower and set fire to the kettle from a distance to melt the water. Everyone just dealt with it and had a meal.

Wang Que was quite a picky eater at first, but when she came to the Pure White Realm, she deeply realized what it means to eat something. Enduring the unsatisfactory taste of the food in her mouth, she forcibly washed it down with water and ate it.

There are several residential areas not far from the supermarket. The residential buildings exude the bioluminescence of Zerg, as if the walls are covered with colorful lights. After eating, Cui Zuojing went back to the door and picked up a piece of ice and chewed it in his mouth. Standing, looking at the residential building from a distance, silent.

"What are you looking at?" Dong Zheng came over and stood beside him, his dark eyes reflected this unimaginable wasteland scene.

At this time, the man took off his gloves, and his hands were covered for so long, and he was not very comfortable.

"Those people who hibernate in the hibernation cabin at home must have died a long time ago." Cui Zuojing swallowed the remaining small piece of ice, feeling cold from the tip of his tongue to his stomach, "Even if the bugs can't break through the dormancy tank shields, they can also destroy the tubes responsible for the nutrient supply."

Dong Zheng hummed in a low voice. According to the plan in the base, almost no land creatures could survive in this area throughout the Ice Age. The government provided a special underground dormant area, but most people still choose to enter at home. Dormant, they look forward to waiting for thousands of years, when they open their eyes, the first thing they see is their familiar home and relatives.

But everything is in vain.

Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng leaned against the door together, looking side by side at the frozen world like an alien scene. Soon, Dong Zheng noticed something and frowned: "Why don't those bugs come here?"

"what?"

Dong Zheng: "The building here is well preserved, there is not much snow and it is sheltered from the wind. It stands to reason that it should be a good place to live, but from the time we entered to the present, all we see are some small, non-aggressive bugs. "

"Ah." Cui Zuojing said quite calmly, "Maybe in a certain floor of this building, there are some big creatures that other insects dare not approach."

Dong Zheng: "........."

"Don't worry." Cui Zuojing comforted, "We'll just stay here for a while, and since the thing that might exist hasn't come out to take us in until now, it proves that it might still be sleeping, and... if we want to leave , I don’t think it’s much safer outside than here.”

Dong Zheng had to admit that what Cui Zuojing said was reasonable, if they went out now, they would be greeted by hundreds of millions of bugs of all kinds, so they might as well hide here.

Cui Zuojing picked up two more pieces of ice and gave one to Dong Zheng: "We'll see if we can walk through the drain pipe later. It's too dangerous outside. I can't guarantee the safety of all of you."

"The drainage system of the biochemical base is definitely not the same as that of the city. It may not be possible to reach the destination through the pipeline."

Cui Zuojing thought for a while: "Yes, anyway, I don't recommend walking the rest of the way, at least in urban areas, you can't walk on foot."

Dong Zheng: "I'll think of a way."

The visor of Cui Zuojing's helmet was opened, and his cheeks and the tip of his nose were flushed red from the cold. Dong Zheng couldn't hold back all of a sudden, stretched out his hand in a mysterious way, and touched his face with the back of his hand: "Isn't it cold?"

"It's okay." Cui Zuojing just finished saying this, his nose itched and he sneezed earth-shatteringly.

He rubbed his nose, and in the widening smile on Dong Zheng's lips, he muttered embarrassingly: "Okay...it's a little cold."

As soon as Cui Zuojing put down his mask, he caught a glimpse of a black object flashing past the wall from the corner of his eye.

"Snake!" The young man recognized the species of the slender figure at once, his eyes lit up, he threw Dong Zheng directly to chase the snake, and shouted: "Wait! I'll improve it for you. Food!"

Dong Zheng didn't have time to stop it, and saw Cui Zuojing chasing the snake quickly, and his figure disappeared behind the shelf.

He frowned, and chased in the direction Cui Zuojing left.

In a world full of bugs, can other carnivores really survive?

The snake crawled very fast, and Cui Zuojing chased after him very slowly, always feeling that he could catch the snake's tail in the next second, but he missed it every time.

Going around countless shelves all the way, Cui Zuojing stretched out his hand with confidence several times but failed to catch the cunning snake, which made him extremely annoyed, and ignored the problem that Dong Zheng had noticed at the first time.

The boy chased him all the way to the entrance of the underground parking lot. He jumped down the stairs in a few steps and stepped into the same dark and wide parking lot.

The figure of the black snake hid in the darkness and disappeared.

At this moment, Cui Zuojing finally noticed something was wrong.

The intuition cultivated over the years of fighting to the death told him that there was a problem here.

Without taking another step forward, Cui Zuojing stared closely at the darkness ahead, slowly retreating step by step, never leaving his back to the unknown.

He retreated to the top of the stairs before turning around abruptly and running towards the center of the supermarket where everyone gathered.

On the way, Cui Zuojing turned around the shelf, one of them didn't stop, and directly bumped into Dong Zheng who was running after him.

The two bumped into each other, Qi Qi staggered back two steps, stretched out his hand very tacitly, and grabbed each other.

"what happened?"

"There seems to be something in the underground parking lot." Cui Zuojing breathed calmly. With someone by his side, he didn't have to rush back in such a hurry. , isn’t it just a snake, what’s so good about it.”

Dong Zheng raised his eyebrows, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Is the idea of ​​chasing the snake just now really your own idea?"

Cui Zuojing looked at him, and a "?" appeared slowly above his head.

He recalled his own performance just now, and had to admit: "It was indeed too impulsive, but if you said that something controlled my consciousness, I couldn't not feel it, and I added a lot of mental points. .”

Dong Zheng shook his head: "I don't know, it's always better to be cautious."

The two walked side by side in the direction where the others were, and below the supermarket, in the underground parking lot that was the lowest floor of the entire building, the black snake climbed up the boy's trousers all the way up to his shoulders, and entrenched on his shoulders. , kissed Tang Ji's side face affectionately.

"I didn't fall for it." Tang Ji put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said regretfully in a tone that was not regretful at all, "Then didn't I prepare such a big gift for nothing?"

But it's not without gains.Tang Ji narrowed his eyes. This snake was the embodiment of part of his soul. Through the eyes of the black snake, he also saw everything that the snake "sees".

If he didn't miss it, Cui Zuojing, the rookie owner, must have the prisoner's coat of arms of the Blood Pact on the back of his hand.
