Chapter 415: Mutation - Loneliness 24
The one in his hand dimmed, so he threw it on the ground and took out another one from his trouser pocket. He folded it in half and broke it several times, emitting an emerald green light.
It’s not very bright, but it can illuminate the empty shelves.
"There's none here. Go two rows further in and see if it's still there. If it's still not there, go back to the shop on the street."
The man standing in the middle frowned, feeling vaguely strange.
But if it was the same inside, there would be no need for them to go deeper.
"Like Dong Liniu said, this city is big, and there are supermarkets everywhere. There's no need to stay here. Liu Shen, don't walk so fast by yourself. Let's take care of each other!"
The man called Liu Shen was holding a red fluorescent stick in his hand. He stopped when he heard the words and raised his hand to shine on his face so that the two could see his speechless expression.
"Captain, there's no need to be so nervous. It's daytime now and the Skeletons won't come out. It must be safe here."
Chang Tianhua was choked and didn't know whether to persuade him or let him go.
Dong Liniu came to the rescue and said, "Captain, this is for your safety. Don't take it lightly. Have you forgotten the strange skeleton you saw last night? You were the first to discover it."
Liu Shen: "Even if it can grow flesh and blood, won't it still be corroded by the sea water? As long as it is a skeleton, it cannot come out during the day! This is an iron rule!"
He spoke with great confidence, but Dong Liniu and Chang Tianhua both understood what he meant.
Isn't it just about wanting to get to the front and collect more supplies?
This little cleverness was seen through at a glance.
"What he said makes sense. We are just overthinking it. Let's go and look forward." Chang Tianhua waved his hand and tried to smooth things over.
Before Liu Shen put down the glow stick, he gave a slightly sarcastic smile, which made Dong Liniu secretly clench his fists.
After he left, Chang Tianhua gently placed his hand on his shoulder and whispered, "Just bear with it for now, after all, we are underwater."
They don't understand water, so they have to look at other people's faces.
We’ll talk about everything after we get back alive.
Dong Liniu nodded, indicating that he could endure it.
The three of them left from one side of the shelf and did not notice the wine on the other side.
Alone in the darkness, she looked solemn.
Just now they mentioned that there are skeletons that can give birth to flesh and blood?
Could it be related to the patriarch?
Is he one of his people?
The clan leader’s wife sacrificed her life, but except for the clan leader, all the remaining eggs could not hatch. Could it be related to this skeleton man?
Anjiu didn't know, but after some consideration, she wanted to find out the skeleton man they were talking about and give it a try.
A few seconds later, the three of them returned the same way they had come, mumbling to themselves.
"It was a complete waste of time. I thought there would be a lot of supplies inside since the sign was so big, but it turns out there's nothing! It was a wasted trip!"
"It's getting late. We have to go back. Let's spend the night at the bank. It's safer there."
"I agree. I remember there is a small supermarket near the bank. Why don't we go there and search a little?"
"Let's go."
After they left, An Jiu followed silently.
The space is almost full now. She will go back and clean it up, trying to make more room. It would be even better if Pu Huai could throw in a few more crystals.
After leaving the supermarket, the color of the sea water outside indeed became darker.
Anjiu followed from a distance behind, and watched them pass by a small supermarket, turn in and stay inside for fifteen minutes.
She looked down at the tree pit next to her. The soil inside seemed uneven and undulating.
But after a moment, the soil surface rose higher, like a mushroom about to break through the ground.
The three men finally appeared, looked up at the color of the sea above their heads, and ran away.
Anjiu hurried to follow.
At the next intersection, they went straight to the XX Bank on the roadside, closed the door and locked it in one go.
Then there was the sound of someone slamming the door from inside.
Seeing that they were on high alert, Anjiu did not dare to be careless. He put on his flippers, swam upstream and stopped at the rooftop of the sixth floor nearby. He hid behind the shelter and stared at the bank entrance.
She had a waterproof flashlight in her hand, so she was not afraid of not being able to return to her home after dark.
Looking at the place where she had just been, the tree pit next to it had a big bulge that was visibly visible to the naked eye.
I estimate that it won’t be long before the skeleton man will crawl out from inside.
Even now, she still doesn't understand why the skeletons can accurately sense the location of living people.
Also, why do skeletons exist?
Anjiu shook her head. She would be back in a few days, so there was no need to waste brain cells.
She looked back and saw that there were no residents on the rooftop growing flowers or vegetables privately, so there was no need to worry about skeletons appearing behind her.
When the sea water became deeper, the first skeleton appeared, the one that crawled out of the tree pit.
It seemed to be stuck and didn't move. Two seconds later, it staggered towards the bank door.
It raised its pale bony claws and grabbed the glass door, making a squeaking sound.
Anjiu kept staring at its bones, making sure that no red color appeared.
After waiting patiently for almost half an hour, the sea water turned almost into black ink.
In the dead silence, a creepy sound was heard. The sound became louder and louder, and it was getting closer and closer.
In the darkness, a large army of skeletons arrived.
They seemed to sense the presence of someone on the roof, and countless pairs of empty eyes looked up at the roof.
Anjiu didn't move.
In just a moment, they made their choice, retracted their gaze, turned towards the bank, and waved their paper-white bone claws, scratching the glass door.
It was too dark down there now, Anjiu couldn't see clearly, and naturally couldn't find that special skeleton man.
The skeleton man should not be able to sense living people through vision, and she has been discovered, so there is no point in hiding. Even if the three people in the bank know that there is someone outside, they can't do anything and it is impossible for them to come out.
Anjiu took out a waterproof flashlight and turned it on, and a cylindrical beam shone down in a curved shape.
She scanned the skeletons one by one, her attention focused.
She was not worried about the skeleton behind her. When the skeleton walked, the friction between his bones was quite loud and the crackling sound was very obvious. In addition, the skeleton's joints were stiff, so it would probably take some effort for him to climb to the sixth floor.
But finding the special one from the army of skeletons really tests one's eyesight and luck. She looked so hard that her eyes were almost dazzled, but she still couldn't find it.
As time passed, the entire road was blocked by the new influx of skeletons.
Even if we find this kind of thing, we can't bring it out.
She stood up and swam her flippers, deciding to swim to the edge of the street to look for it. If she still couldn't find it, she would have to give up for the day.
She didn't dare go too deep, and wherever she swam, the skeleton's empty eye sockets would turn.
In this situation, it was difficult for Anjiu to find that special skeleton - in the paleness, there was only one with blood on its face. Although it only lasted for a second, it was still very eye-catching.
