Doomsday Wonderland: One thousand and thirty-nine

After the paper crane's recording was played, everyone and the cat fell silent.

The thin flesh-colored pillars at the rear grew taller and taller, and within a short time, the truck that had just overturned disappeared between the pillars. There is almost nothing left of the corpse, almost all of which has been transformed into the nutrients of these pillar forests. Only from some faint outlines wrapped in clothes, you can occasionally see where the head is and where the hands and feet are. Most of the clear night sky was obscured. When I looked up, there were only clusters of round black shadows, densely swaying under the sky.

"The variety grown this time... is very rare..." Lao Da raised his face and said to Zhu Lin who was dying - but no one paid attention to him for a while.

"Xiaojiu...is she surrounded by what this thing calls 'servants'?" Doctor Cat asked thoughtfully.

"I am a human being..."

"Although you must have your own considerations when you say this," Bohemia frowned, "But...she is obviously more than a hundred kilometers away from these flesh-colored pillars, and there is no way to harm them, so why would she be attacked by them? Surrounded by servants?"

"Well," Doctor Cat waved his front paws generously: "What I said may be wrong. What she just said was 'us', is there anyone else besides her?"

"It's really clear!" Bohemia clapped her hands, and in her lonely clapping, the night wind made the forest of flesh-colored pillars sway slightly. "...There is also a puppet master with her, but he is injured and unconscious now."

The cat's eyes suddenly lit up in the dim night, as if the word "puppet master" had a fishy smell to it.

"Oh, I can't believe...she is very capable of doing something. I have also sworn the Hippocratic Oath." It became very excited, with its tail raised high: "You can't leave the sick and wounded alone. No matter! We have to find her - but we have to figure out how to ensure safety."

"What you say makes sense! She is very lucky, and she will definitely be able to survive until we can figure out a way."

One person and one cat thought for a while. After a few seconds, the two pairs of eyes slowly turned to Lao Da.

He swallowed hard - he probably didn't even have the structure of a throat, but it looked like that.

“I, I can’t enter the city,” he stammered. “As soon as I go in like this, the fact that I am a human will be exposed... He, they won’t let me go, but in the end Importantly, our plans to save humanity will also be affected..."

"You are overthinking," Bohemia waved her hand, "People who see you like this and think you are human should not exist - eh? What do you mean by that?"

Ignoring that Lao Da looked weird and disgusting, she leaned closer and asked, "Do you mean to say that the people in this country are different from you? Are they not a skinny bag like you?"

"Of course... it's different. I am a human being, they are not..." Lao Da breathed heavily, blowing half of his head up and down, "Our goal is to eliminate the fake people and save the Human beings..."

...I am afraid there is no one in the world who is more unfit to say this than him.

"Don't squeeze out the toothpaste," Doctor Cat tapped the ground with the tip of his tail impatiently, "Just think that we were born on the first day and don't know anything; you finished the introduction in one breath, and we I won’t take you into the city, but if you say it well, I can even sew the hole for you."

The temptation seemed very great - Lao Da changed his lifeless expression, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the clusters of flesh-colored thin pillars around him that were almost three stories high, and finally spoke slowly after careful consideration.

"Don't you know what these things are?" He was weak and his voice was weak, "...Then I first suggest you not to get too close. Although you don't look like the fake people in this country, I don't know where you come from, but I can feel that you have not been modified, and your structure is different from mine... If you get too close, once it is eroded, you will not be able to absorb the intruder like our body' Squeeze it out."

"Squeeze it out?"

Lao Da had to take a few breaths before continuing to speak.

"In our bodies...only the head has been transformed into this meat bag-like structure. From the neck down, the structure of my body gradually returned to normal...except for body fluids, as you know There is no difference between human beings." As he said this, he closed his opened scalp again, and his pupils seemed to have shrunk a lot. "Because...if you don't want to be transformed into a pseudo-human being by an invading object...you must hide your brain."

His next words were almost incomprehensible to one person and one cat: "Through surgery, we changed the position and shape of the brain and hid it elsewhere in the body. Where the skull and brain were originally, There are only some disguises... so even if our heads are opened, we will not die... All this is to prevent intruders from transforming our consciousness... and turning us into servants of these things."

Bohemia raised her head blankly. The tall shadows of the flesh-colored thin pillars had completely enveloped several people; before they knew it, this area was filled with tall and large "nut sprouts".

"But the people in this country... I'm afraid most of them are infected by the invasive thing and are hopeless. In order to defeat this kind of thing, our country will send us over to steal some samples... Our purpose is to Protect the motherland and save mankind."

Every word Lao Da said just now sounded like he was about to disappear - judging from the injuries he suffered, it was incredible that he was still alive - but as he spoke, he His eyes gradually glowed with light, his face flushed, and he seemed to have regained some strength. ~IndoMTL.com~ It’s hard not to think of the words “return to the light”.

"You and your companions... don't seem to have turned into pseudo-human beings, and they also have abilities that we can't imagine." He raised a hand and gently pulled Bohemia's sleeve, as if Pleading like: "I can feel that I don't have much time left. Please, please, can you help us and save the fate of mankind? Remember, they are spread through the air, don't breathe-"

At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away, Lin Sanjiu stood in the darkness, and the only sound in his ears was the faint breathing of the puppeteer next to him.

Other than that, this building and this night were as silent as a dead city - the only loud sound came from the pounding heart in her chest.

Although I couldn't hear it, I could feel it through "pure touch" that there were people standing outside the building.

One by one, solid black figures stood quietly in the pit, motionlessly surrounding the building just below the umbrella-like second floor. They neither came in nor made a sound. They had been standing outside for five or six minutes... Even when the paper crane flew out, these figures remained motionless, like a circle of dead bodies.

No, if it is a dead body, there is nothing to be afraid of.

What really made Lin Sanjiu tense up was the strong warning "Run!" that kept twitching and beating in her head. Compared with now, the warning she felt at the old lady's house was so gentle. Like teasing a child. She had walked aimlessly around the hall several times, but every direction seemed more frightening than the others.

The only purpose of these figures is to trap her inside...

In other words, this hall is the most dangerous place.
