Lu Mian staggered to avoid Alan's praying mantis legs, but was hit squarely by the splashing broken tiles.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, and ran towards the other side, "Fuck! Run, run!"

The reason why Narrow Alley is called Narrow Alley is not because of how narrow its main road is, but because many inconspicuous alleys in this area can be connected, and there are no dead ends. As long as there is someone familiar with the terrain leading the way, this It is absolutely possible to walk out of a village where there are hidden willows and bright flowers.

At this time, among the four of them, there happened to be a person who was familiar with the terrain!

Brother Chen grew up in the narrow alleys since he was a child. He was very clear about the roads in the narrow alleys. He led them around and walked around Alan for a few streets. Seeing that another village was just ahead, he couldn't help it. It was blocked in the middle by a lump of meat.

This is a narrow road that can only be passed by one person. The slightly stronger Lao Wang walked sideways all the way, but who would have imagined that he would still be stuck between two walls at the end.

Lu Mian pushed the old Wang who was stuck in front with great effort, his forehead was covered with sweat, "Brother Wang! Squeeze forward yourself!"

Old Wang kicked hard, and now he couldn't even turn his head smoothly, "I'm working hard! Oh, take it easy!"

Brother Chen: "Hurry up, hurry up! Alan will soon catch up!"

Hearing the sound from far to near, Lu Mian couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He took a deep breath and stepped back a few steps, "I'm sorry, Brother Wang!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Mian raised his foot and put his foot on Lao Wang's buttocks.

Old Wang: "Oh, I'm going!"

With Lao Wang's wailing, the path that had been blocked for a long time was finally cleared. Lu Mian and the others stepped over Lao Wang who was lying in front, leaning their backs against the wall and panting.

Lu Mian looked down at his blue and purple legs, hissing hissing air.

It wasn't until this moment that there were bursts of needle-like pain from the countless small wounds on his body that had been smashed by the crushed stones.

Lin Feng looked at the unfamiliar place, and the vigilance in his eyes did not relax, "What is this place?"

Brother Chen chuckled, "This was our secret base at the time. There are some gadgets that parents don't allow to play here, such as billiards, arcade machines, game consoles, snacks, and even cigarettes, because the environment here has a natural atmosphere. A sense of security, we rebellious kids like to run here."

Lu Mian took a closer look at the surrounding environment, and suddenly understood.

This is a closed space surrounded by four three-to-four-story buildings of the same specification, which is nearly [-] square meters, and the top is sealed with translucent tempered glass.

From the outside, these houses are just ordinary houses. The gates are all opened on the side close to the main road, and only the load-bearing wall is left on the other side of the wall. Volume gate.

The four households opened four different shops respectively. The innermost one was a game arcade, and the outside was a snack bar, followed by a snack shop and a stationery shop. The billiard table was provided by the stationery shop.

There is everything you can eat, play and use.

Lao Wang struggled to get up, and hid behind the concrete wall like the others. He looked down at the bruise on his shoulder, with a helpless expression on his face, "If I had known earlier, I would have practiced less. Being too big is not a good thing." , Lao Lin was not stuck like me."

Lin Feng chuckled, got up and patted Pharaoh on the shoulder, and walked to several shops without saying a word.

Old Wang Youqi asked feebly, "Old Lin, where are you going?"

Lin Feng walked into the snack bar, "Look around."

Lu Mian squinted his eyes and looked at the snack bar. A large splattered brown mark on the wall in the corner attracted his attention. It was the trace of bubbles left after the blood dried up.

He propped up his numb body, "Brother Lin, wait for me."

The storefront of the snack bar is not big, there are only four or five scattered tables in the store, the old wooden stools have been smoothed, and many stool legs are still tied with a circle of thin wire.

Going further inside is the kitchen of this snack bar, separated by two pieces of floral cloth split in half. From the gaps in the cloth, you can vaguely see the yellowed tile wall in the kitchen, and the cutting board that is more than half worn out. And...a small piece of a cloth shoed foot.

Lu Mian and Lin Feng glanced at each other, then walked cautiously to the kitchen.

Although the kitchen was dilapidated, it was kept clean. Lu Mian stood in front of that short leg, his stomach churning.

It was really just a small piece of leg, the cut was uneven, a long piece of shredded meat stuck to the remaining skin, like fat that had been torn off on purpose, the yellow flesh was shiny with oil.

This small piece of limb was already a little swollen, and the cloth shoes were still tightly held by the meat from the bone, and flies were flying around on the severed limb.

And near the amputated limb, where only the ankle and the sole of the foot remained, there were large areas of dark red or brown semi-dried liquid, as well as some rags stained with minced meat.

Lao Wang and Brother Chen also came in, and after seeing the scene in the kitchen, their complexions were a little blue.

Old Wang: "This..."

The smell of rotting meat filled the air. Lu Mian frowned and said in a low voice, "Since we entered the narrow alley, something has been wrong. In this narrow alley, it's too quiet."

As he said that, Lu Mian pulled a white towel hanging on the wall and covered the small amputated limb, "The giant praying mantis made such a big noise, but no one came to see what happened, even There are not even people watching the bustle through the windows, and now it seems that there should be no other living people in the narrow alley except that Brother Mantis."

A moment of silence spread in the kitchen, and after a long time, Brother Chen asked softly, "Are... dead?"

Lu Mian raised his head, thinking about how to make things less cruel, but some words went back and forth a few times, and he found that it was futile, "I don't know how much you remember what that brother Mantis said before, he ran away, not enough to eat , Just these two sentences have already explained the situation in the narrow alley clearly."

He stood up and led a few people out, "Don't be too pessimistic. At least it's good news that they ran away. It shows that a lot of people in the narrow alley have escaped, and the situation is not too bad."

Brother Chen sat on the square stool with his head down, feeling a little depressed, "The narrow alley used to be very lively, and the snack street gradually gained a reputation. God's kung fu, it became like this..."

None of the people present could answer this question, and a depressive atmosphere pervaded the air.

At this moment, a loud noise exploded in their ears, and the turquoise mantis legs with barbs lay horizontally among them, and the broken cement blocks fell all over the ground.

Lin Feng: "Not good! Hide!"

Old Wang: "Let's go! Alan's green friends are here too!"

Several people ran out of the store at an extremely fast speed, but were smashed into the stationery store next door by the glass roof that fell from the sky.

In a hurry, Lu Mian raised his head and looked up. Those praying mantises pierced the glass roof on the top and were crawling down one by one!

Lin Feng pulled the shutter to the end, while the rest of the people squatted in the middle of the shelves in the stationery store.

Lu Mian: "There is no way to go on like this. After they eat us, they will go to the community to find other people. We have to find a way to get rid of these praying mantises!"

Brother Chen: "That's what we said, but we can't beat it!"

Lu Mian pondered for a moment, "I remember, after leaving the narrow alley, 100 meters to the east, is there a swimming pool?"

Lin Feng: "Is there a way?"

Just as Lu Mian was about to speak, a praying mantis leg pierced through the rolling gate, and the shelf in front of him was pushed down and crushed on the next shelf. The range of activities of several people was reduced to the triangle area between the two shelves.

Lu Mian ate a mouthful of ashes, but didn't dare to act rashly. The mantis leg even pulled the shelf, as if looking for them. After a long time, the mantis leg retracted.

Lu Mian moved forward, and then whispered: "Most mantises are parasitized by iron nematodes. When this kind of insect matures, it will control the mantis to find water sources, let the mantis jump into the water, and break the body from the mantis' body. However, after the body of the praying mantis is destroyed from the inside out, there is only one dead end."

Speaking of this, Lu Mian thought of Brother Chen's car again, and the hairs on his body exploded again, "Do you still remember how Brother Chen's car was scrapped? The bugs that exploded from the belly of the mantis are iron nematodes , They are all raised by brother mantis, it makes no sense that only one is parasitized by iron nematodes, so what we have to do now is to help these big mantises find water sources!"

Lin Feng: "I think so!"

Brother Chen raised his hand and said weakly, "That..."

Lao Wang excitedly pushed Brother Chen's hand down, "Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!"

Lu Mian: "Wait! We still need to get some things!"

Lin Feng: "What?"

Lu Mian: "Lighters! On the shelf, each person has a few. In addition, if possible, there seem to be two cans of gas in the kitchen just now. It is best to bring them with you! Leave everything behind, in case the water source If it doesn’t work, we can still blow it up! Who is going to carry the gas tank?”

On the side, Brother Chen raised his hand again, "I said..."

Lu Mian: "Brother Chen? Say goodbye? You are so thin, can you carry it?"

Lin Feng: "Old Wang and I are alone!"

Brother Chen: "Bah! Who the hell wants to carry a gas tank! I mean, if you're looking for a swimming pool, there's one in the center of the narrow alley! There's no need to run outside!"

After a while of silence, everyone began to act cursing.

Old Wang leaned against the wall and touched the door of the rolling gate, "There is a swimming pool so close, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Brother Chen picked up the oversized plastic box on the side and held it above his head, a little aggrieved, "Did you give me a chance to tell?"

While talking, the sound outside became less and less, Lu Mian kept paying attention to the movement outside the rolling shutter door, and the suddenly quiet air made the scalp tense.

Lin Feng suppressed his voice, "What's going on? They're gone?"

Lu Mian swallowed her saliva, stiffened her neck and looked back.

Right behind them, the closed door was opened at some point, and the house owner's pair of huge compound eyes evolved from human eyes was staring at them motionlessly, and behind him, the purple-red Alan raised his hand. The tentacles next to the mouthparts swing back and forth.
