It is still spiritual power that arrives one step ahead of sight.

The outline pieced together by countless metal parts has been clearly detected, but the flesh has not long since decayed like most of the compatriots.

It stretched out its wet, cold and sticky tentacles, tightly bound the human's ankles, and dragged her into the endless deep sea.

There are metal flakes attached to the suction cups, which are attached to the ankles and calves, piercing into the soft skin. Blood is the best lubricating oil, and it arouses a stronger appetite in the flesh.

The remaining tentacles clung to the low wall tightly, and the strength caused the already fragile concrete to collapse one after another, screaming piercing the night sky, and being buried in the rumbling sound.

The human body looked so small and fragile in front of it, she desperately grabbed all the things she could touch around her, and smashed towards the monster that was dragging her to death.

The stone hit the mechanical body, making a crisp sound of metal impact.

The statement stopped 15 meters from the shore.

He took out the two bullets he found the day before yesterday from his coat pocket, quickly loaded them into the clips, and held the gun in both hands.

It only takes a second to raise your hand, aim, and pull the trigger.

All I heard was a dull click.

The bullets of this gun, which had been in the drawer for an unknown period of time, had already been damp, and it was so natural that it misfired.

Chen Ci's expression didn't change a bit, he immediately unloaded, reloaded, and aimed again.

The misfired bullet fell out and hit the ground, creating a small pit.

boom--!

The gunshot exploded, and the distance of 15 meters was fleeting. The bullet accurately penetrated through the squid's eyes. The huge impact force disrupted the tissues and viscera around the ballistic trajectory, and finally passed through the back of the head.

The force that dragged humans into the deep sea stopped for a moment.

Mental power invades the undeveloped nervous system of molluscs, looking for a possibility to suppress it amidst the extremely strong desire to prey.

The next moment, the pain of being hit hard swept across the body, all the arms and legs danced wildly, and the stress reaction finally overwhelmed the appetite.

Chen Ci was concentrating, and was about to continue to invade the squid's thinking, when he saw a figure rushing out of him like a whirlwind.

Holding a crowbar in his hand, Fu Tianhe quickly jumped down from the low wall. He nimbly dodged to avoid the wildly waving arms and legs, raised his arms violently, and stabbed fiercely at the roots of the squid's two long tentacles!

The wrists and feet tightly wrapped around the ankles were finally released.

"Run!"

Fu Tianhe roared loudly, he stepped on the tentacle that was still trying to grab the prey, pointed the crowbar in his hand at the opening in the center of the ten arms and feet, and stabbed fiercely!

clang--!

The huge force came along the crowbar, even shaking Fu Tianhe's arms numb. In the ferocious mouthparts, the squid's mouth membrane has been completely mechanized!

The ten arms and legs bloomed towards the surroundings like flowers, and then suddenly tightened, trying to wrap Fu Tianhe in it!

The surface of the strong arms and feet is covered with countless metal parts, as long as they are caught by them, they will definitely be poked into a sieve in an instant.

Fu Tianhe did not escape.

He still stood where he was, with the tense muscles of his arms almost tearing the material of his clothes. With a loud shout, the crowbar in his hand pierced through the layer of mechanical mouth membrane and penetrated straight into the giant squid's head!

The one-meter-long crowbar was completely submerged, starting from the squid's digestive tract, piercing the visceral sac, and rubbing against its metal endoskeleton, making ear-piercing scraping sounds.

Severe pain swept through the squid's entire consciousness, and the statement that wanted to help Fu Tianhe immediately withdrew his mental power.

Fu Tianhe took two steps back, picked up the girl who was struggling for a long time and couldn't get up, lifted her up, and quickly evacuated from the dangerous area.

Fu Tianhe came to Chen Ci and put him behind the low wall.

This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Beta girl with disheveled short hair, dirty clothes, a lonely injured ankle, and is so thin that she is almost malnourished.

She clenched her teeth tightly, not allowing herself to make a sound of pain, her lips were so dry that they were peeling, the deep crack even bled.

Chen Ci squatted down to check the wound on her leg. There were more than a dozen slender openings separated by the metal sheet of the squid's arm and foot, and it was bleeding continuously. Because of the violent struggle, it was stained with a lot of sand and gravel.

"I have to clean it up first." Chen Ci looked at her hands again, the pads of her ten fingers were almost worn out, and the palms were even blurred.

Fu Tianhe nodded, he leaned over and picked up the searchlight that was thrown aside in a hurry, and returned to the squid who had gradually stopped moving.

This blow was too ruthless, the holy sword of physics destroyed most of the squid's biological tissues, making it impossible for it to retreat to the ocean behind it.

When the light illuminated the messy battlefield, Fu Tianhe realized how dangerous it was just now. All kinds of rubble were scattered all over the place, and if he didn't pay attention, he might sprain his feet.

Once you fall, it is a dead end.

The highly mechanized exoskeleton firmly protects the inside of the squid, only the eyes, which were pierced by the statement, are exposed.

If it wasn't for him poking through the membrane abruptly, it is estimated that whoever will win may not be able to win.

Fu Tianhe came back into the tentacles. He reached into the mouthpiece, grabbed the end of the crowbar, stepped on the head of the squid, and pulled out the crowbar forcefully.

The squid just twitched, the ends of its arms and legs struggled and rolled, but it couldn't make any effective resistance.

The moment the crowbar was completely pulled out, blue blood and black ink gushed out from the wound, almost pouring over a large area of ​​the ground below, and the stench became even stronger.

The crowbar was covered with all kinds of slime, and Fu Tianhe was quite disgusted. He went to the seaside to clean it, and then returned to Chen Ci with a clean crowbar.

The squid's head and torso are about two meters long, which is already considered a huge size. It has a high degree of mechanization. Fu Tianhe plans to wait until dawn to come over to see if there are any useful parts.

"Let's go, I'll take you to treat the wound first."

He squatted down and picked up the girl with the help of Chen Ci, who was holding a crowbar and a searchlight, and the three of them went back to the tent together.

Their small camp stood in place, Chen Ci took the bottle to purify the sea water, Fu Tianhe sat the girl on the stone slab, and went to help Chen Ci.

The two came over with three bottles of water, handed the statement to the girl, and motioned her to drink first.

The girl was obviously extremely thirsty, and she drank most of the bottle in one go. She licked her lips, and the tiny scabs split open again, and the blood flowed out again.

"What's your name?" Chen Ci asked her.

The girl's voice was hoarse, and she said timidly: "Matchsticks."

It doesn't sound like a human name.

"You are a scavenger nearby." Fu Tianhe is not surprised. The people in the dungeon are also divided into three or six grades. Like this kind of people who can only live in the coastal area, there is a high probability that they are extremely poor, and they just take things around them. Naming is normal operation.

Matchstick hummed, she carefully read Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe, and said sincerely: "Thank you."

"It's okay, let's treat the wound first." Fu Tianhe took out a small medical kit, and Chen Ci used clean water to wash the gravel and mud from the wound with a matchstick.

Afterwards, Chen Chen wiped it dry with a cotton ball, applied iodine and powder, and made sure that the bleeding was slowly stopping before wrapping up a bandage.

This is the first time Chen Ci has treated someone's wounds. Although he has never done it before, Chen Ci has no problem with his brain and he has treated it well.

Fu Tianhe sat aside, chatting with Matchstick, and also learned what happened.

The Abandoned Suburb is located under the recycling bin. There are often wastes that fall from the recycling bin, and the corpses of primitive creatures contain a large number of mechanical bodies, making this area a favorite place for scavengers to visit.

Matchstick is also one of them. She belongs to a nearby settlement and goes out to pick up waste as usual. It was getting late and she hurried back to the camp, but lost her way.

The night will not fall slowly because of sympathy for her, the last ray of sunlight sinks at the sea level, and the boundless darkness completely surrounds her.

A flashlight was brought with the matchstick, but the hemp rope was broken in the narrowest places, and bad luck was only for the poor. The battery only lasted for 10 minutes before it ran out of power.

Worse than darkness is the fear of the unknown.

The match stick was as far away from the coast as possible. She wanted to find a relatively complete building that would at least allow her to survive the night, but she kicked something soft.

Needless to say what happened next.

She was entangled by the squid's arms and legs. In the dark of night, no one knew when it climbed ashore. The squid pulled the matchstick and was about to retreat into the sea to enjoy this delicious meal.

If Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe hadn't arrived, the girl named Matchstick would have disappeared into the world without attracting anyone's attention.

After listening to the statement quietly, Matchstick has been thirsty for a long time, and now he has finally drank water, and his voice is much clearer.

He didn't particularly understand why he worked so hard. Cinnabar's resources should be enough to support all the humans living in it. Matchsticks could obviously go to the main area and find a suitable job instead of picking up garbage on the most dangerous beach.

But the statement is still silent, why not eat minced meat, he is not qualified to make an evaluation.

"Are you hungry? Eat a little something."

Fu Tianhe went to get their food, and now it was a little troublesome to start a fire to cook, so he opened a box of canned food for Matchstick.

Matchstick had been starving for a whole day, and then escaped from the mouth of the squid. He was already suffering from hunger and cold.

She wolfed down the meal, and Chen Ci sat across from her, passing the water bottle in due course.

It is one o'clock in the morning.

Seeing her finish eating a box of canned food, Fu Tianhe said: "You go to the tent to rest for a while, and we will send you to the camp early tomorrow morning."

Matchstick nodded and thanked again: "Thank you."

Matchstick was dirty, and they didn't have a change of clothes for the girl, so they had to let her wear it first.

Fu Tianhe specially packed out his sleeping bag and let Matchstick rest.

Matchstick was very embarrassed. Not only did he eat the food of the savior, but he also took up their resting place.

"It's okay, we're here for a trip, at worst we'll be back in the city tomorrow."

Fu Tianhe calmed her down, and after finishing everything, he got up and said, "Come on."

Matchstick hesitated for a moment, and got into the tent anyway. She was too sleepy and tired. She was already so thin that she was malnourished, and after such a thrilling experience, she was dizzy just standing up.

Chen Ci also entered the tent. He moved his sleeping bag to the middle and asked Fu Tianhe, "What about you?"

Although the space of the tent is small, Matchstick is really thin. When lying down, it only stands on a thin side, and three people can still squeeze in.

Fu Tianhe only said: "You guys rest first."

Chen Ci doesn't care much about gender distinctions, but Fu Tianhe doesn't.

As an Alpha, he is still a man, so it's fine to sleep with Chen Ci, after all, the two are very close.But Matchstick was the little girl they had just rescued. If he really lay down where the statement gave him, he would be a rogue.

Fu Tianhe didn't plan to sleep anymore.

Give up the tent to the statement and matches. Anyway, there are only four hours left before dawn, and he will arrive after squinting outside for a while.

Chen Ci stared at him for a few seconds, nodded, and returned to the tent without saying a word.

Fu Tianhe sat on the stone slab in front of the door.

The searchlights were turned off, and the surroundings returned to silence. The moon seemed to have been bitten by someone, missing a side, and the stars were very bright. Tomorrow should be a cloudless sunny day.

Fu Tianhe raised his hand to touch his right eye, and the crowbar was in his hand.

He hasn't practiced the miraculous skill of being able to sit and fall asleep yet, so he plans to stay in a daze first to pass the time.

Not long after, there was a rustling sound behind him.

Fu Tianhe was taken aback for a moment, he looked back, and a figure emerged from the tent.

Chen Ci had already put on his coat, and he pulled up the tent from the outside, so that Matchstick, who had fallen asleep in a second, could have a good rest, and sat quietly beside Fu Tianhe.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Fu Tianhe asked.

The statement just shook his head and didn't speak.He tightened his coat, as if he was a little cold, and shrunk his body slightly.
