Chapter 52
A Lian, who was watching him back to the room, was standing behind Shi Chen, with his skinny hands resting on his shoulders, and his face close to his ear, the cold air he exhaled made him shiver.
Shi Chen's heart went cold, his strength seemed to be pulled away, he wanted to run away, but he couldn't even stand up.
His heart was beating like a drum, and he felt as if he had been hit on the head by a heavy object. He was in a dazed state, thinking all the time that he was going to die, he couldn't escape, he was dead.
Alian's characteristic laughter surrounded Shi Chen, her hands were bigger than ordinary people, and her fingers were extremely long, like shackles, clasping Shi Chen's shoulders and necks.
"I caught you." A-Lian laughed endlessly, and Shi Chen realized that the giggling sound he heard before was not her laughter, but the sound of joints.
Shi Chen's throat seemed to be frozen and he couldn't speak.
A-Lian leaned closer and said: "Everyone who goes out in the middle of the night is a bad child. In my case, bad children must be punished." Her voice became colder and she murmured to herself: "That is—death."
When his death was approaching, Shi Chen was not afraid of waiting for the verdict, but only worried about Wen Xue.
Besides, there was nothing but a blank in his mind, and he didn't even notice that anyone was approaching.
Suddenly, a high-decibel cry came from his ear, Shi Chen's eardrums hurt, his shoulders suddenly loosened, and he was pulled up by the person in front of him forcefully, and hugged him into his arms.
"Sorry, I'm late." Wen Xue's words were very soft, and they passed into Shi Chen's heart numbly.
But before Shi Chen could be warmed up in time, Wen Xue dragged him and ran away, with Alian shouting frantically behind them, chasing after them.Alian's fingers stretched out longer and longer, almost pinching Shi Chen's stamina a few times, the cold fingers touched his warm skin, making him shiver several times.
Alian's movements were very quick. Before they went around the table and ran to the corridor, she had jumped over the table and stood in front of them.Her fingers were as soft as worms without bones, and her skin was densely raised, as if something was about to crawl out of it.And in the room with the open door, there was the sound of earthen jars breaking one after another. Shi Chen knew very well what was in the jars, something was crawling out of the room.
Just thinking about the scene of the bug crawling out, Shi Chen's scalp felt numb.
Wen Xue protected Shi Chen behind him, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he swung his hand forward forcefully, A-Lian immediately let out a scream.
Seizing the opportunity, Wen Xue said to his back: "Let's go now."
In the dark, Shi Chen couldn't see what Wen Xue was holding, he only knew it was cold, iron-like, and very sharp. He walked over and didn't pay attention, and a small piece of the hem of his clothes was cut off.
The two rushed back to the room, closed the door immediately, took out a few rolls of sealing tape from someone's bag, and tightly sealed every gap in the windshield.
There are things outside the door trying to get in, but they have sealed several layers, and those bugs can't get in at all.
Wen Xue collapsed by the bed, his face pale, "Don't worry, those bugs can't get in."
"What are you..." Shi Chen was halfway through speaking, seeing Du Kang who was distracted beside him, he was so blessed that he helped Wen Xue up quickly, "You rest for a while, we should be able to wake up when A-Lian dies. I just On the stairs, I heard her say something like a spell."
The witchcraft that Wen Xue forcibly destroyed, exhausted his energy extremely, and his spirit was weak, his head rested on Shi Chen's shoulder.
"After A-Lian's death." Wen Xue couldn't open his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and said in a very soft voice, "Take Cao Zhen, immediately..." Before he had time to say the words, he passed out and fell asleep.
"Huh? Immediately what?" Shi Chen turned his head, heard Wen Xue's weak breathing, and closed his mouth.
The movement outside the door rang for a long time, until there was a sudden scream in Alian's room, and then their door was hit hard, but the door frame was sealed tightly with sealing tape, Alian knocked on the door several times outside, None of them could break open.
Shi Chen didn't dare to go anywhere, and stayed at the door in case of emergencies.
The monsters in this world are all very powerful, Shi Chen is no stranger to it, anyway, he just needs to hold the door.
"Come out! Come out!" A-Lian screamed, "Kill you, kill you." Later, she became incoherent, banging on the door like inertia, but the force of hitting the door became weaker and weaker, and finally became It's like knocking on the door.
Shi Chen could feel the changes in the people outside the door, he was relieved, his muscles were sore, he felt like he had been beaten up.
But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, there was a sizzling sound on the wall. Shi Chen's face changed instantly when he heard the sound.The sealing tape at one corner of the wall had fallen off, and the white wall looked black. There were things crawling on it, and there were a lot of them. Poisonous insects kept pouring in. Hundreds of them had surrounded Shi Chen's feet.
"Damn!" Shi Chen clicked his tongue, seeing bugs everywhere in front of him.
Shi Chen pretended not to notice, and stepped on it with a crunch, he shouted anxiously: "Cao Zhen! Cao Zhen! Get on the bed quickly, quickly!"
While speaking, he had already run to the bedside. Cao Zhen was walking slowly, halfway up the climb. Shi Chen picked up Cao Zhen's pants, lifted him up, and then went to pull Wen Xue's feet. At Xue's feet, he bypassed in an instant.
Shi Chen was so flustered that he didn't notice this scene at all. He used all his strength to pull Wen Xue up, and turned to look at Du Kang.
Cao Zhen was bitten by poisonous insects when he was a child, and he was most afraid of such snakes, insects, rats and ants. He hid behind Shi Chen and cried, "Uncle Shi, I'm afraid."
Climbing into bed was just delaying time, Shi Chen had no idea.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Shi Chen comforted Cao Zhen, but he didn't realize that his hands were shaking too.
Wen Xue was too tired to open his eyes, but he knew what was going on around him very well, so he forcefully opened his eyes halfway, and said to Shi Chen, "In Daqu's bag, there is insect repellent powder."
"Ah, there really are." Shi Chen took out a large bottle and quickly sprinkled it around.
It was only after he finished his dazed work that he remembered that these bags were all on the floor, and that Daqu's bag would be on the bed, which should have been expected by Wen Xue, so he prepared it specially in advance.Daqu didn't prepare much medicine powder, so he had to draw a small circle to barely guarantee that the three people would not be in danger for the time being.
Shi Chen held Wen Xue's waist, afraid that he would fall asleep and lie down, "This little medicine powder probably won't last long."
"It doesn't matter." Wen Xue closed his eyes, only his lips moved: "When A-Lian dies, these things will die too. Then A-Lian won't last long. Wait a little longer, and you'll be safe."
"Then you rest for a while." Shi Chen wiped Wen Xue's forehead with distress, "If we don't wake up after A-Lian dies, I'll call you again."
"If you don't wake up, you can take Cao Zhen away to the opposite temple." Wen Xue's breathing was weak and his condition was very bad, "Leave me alone."
Shi Chen's breath was stagnant, and he said cursingly: "I don't care about you, I don't care about your business. If you say such things again, I will turn against you. In short, you should rest first, and stop talking."
When it was almost dawn, the humming outside the door finally stopped, and at the same time as Alian died, the worms that surrounded them suddenly stopped crawling collectively, and quickly became dry and flat, and within half a minute, they turned into dry worms. Instantly turns to ashes when lightly touched.
Wen Xue hadn't woken up yet, Shi Chen couldn't bear to wake him up, thinking that there were still about two days left, so he cleaned out the bed and let Wen Xue have a good rest first.
"Uncle Shi's door is broken." Cao really planned to go to the toilet, but he heard a loud noise as soon as he entered the toilet.
The surface of the sealing tape is covered with insect ash, which has lost its stickiness, and the anklet has been broken long ago. Without the support of the sealing tape, it fell directly inward.Outside the door lay A-Lian with her gut pierced. Her body was full of poisonous insect corpses, as well as her seven orifices. The picture was extremely disgusting.
Shi Chen took a look and immediately understood where the countless poisonous insects came from last night.
The body collectors came very quickly. When they saw A-Lian's body, they looked normal and didn't take a second look. They picked up the bodies of A-Lian and Du Kang and left, throwing them into the Heishui River as usual.
"Uncle Shi, when will the rain stop?" Cao Zhen didn't go out all day, and was in a panic.
Shi Chen had noticed long ago that after A-Lian's death, the rain was heavier than usual, with lightning and thunder, as if it was about to end. If the trend continues, the entire ancient city will probably be wiped out in less than six days. submerged.
"Xuexue, wake up, we are leaving." Shi Chen shook his head to study.
After resting for a while, Wen Xue recovered a little bit, opened his eyes weakly, looked at his watch, and said anxiously: "I told you to leave early, why don't you leave?"
"I said I won't leave anyone behind." Shi Chen helped Wen Xue up and called Cao Zhen to follow.
The water level of the Heishui River was almost equal to that of Tiaoyan, and the rain in the sky seemed to be pouring down, rising every minute. people.
For a while, the ancient city was full of wailing. Shi Chen ran with Wen Xue on his shoulders. Looking back, he saw a man being sucked into the water, and his hand on the stone pillar slowly turned into bones.
Fortunately, the mountain temple is not far from Tiaoyan. While they were running the stone steps, the flooded river was flooding every street in the ancient city.
The residents of the ancient city lost the chance to escape, so they had to run up the second floor and even climbed onto the roof.
"Don't stay here, go up and talk about it in the temple." Wen Xue's breath was unstable, and every breath was heavy.
"En." Shi Chen looked up, but he couldn't see anything except the pouring rainwater.
They came to this mountain temple twice, and they didn't realize how high the mountain road was, but now the resistance of the rainwater washed down from the mountain, coupled with the weight of being soaked, made every step very tiring.It's just that they couldn't stop, the flood was rising too fast, almost chasing them, keeping a few steps behind them, if they stopped to catch their breath, they might be sucked into the Blackwater River.
The three of them were all holding their breath, Cao Zhen fell down twice, stood up without hesitation, and ran behind with his small arms and legs.
When Shi Chen was about to lose his strength, he saw a figure on the mountain running towards them.
"Come up quickly." Miao Zhu involuntarily picked up Cao Zhen and helped carry Wen Xue, who was half-opened.
This was the last scene Wen Xue saw, and then passed out, and woke up again, smelling a strong smell of disinfectant, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and found that there were many people around him, most of them Wearing a suit of white.
And that familiar voice, "Wake up, wake up, ouch, finally woke up."
