Chapter 103 Broiler
"Who are they?"
"There are many such monsters in the factory!" Zhao Yi seemed to remember something, with fear in his eyes.
"I... I wanted to cause trouble in the factory, and when I saw the iron gate was not closed, I walked in... As a result, I saw a big centipede lying on the machine, about dozens of meters long! It was all black, like a shadow."
Hearing this, Chen Ling's heart sank.
No wonder he patrolled the entire block and found nothing unusual. It turned out that the thing was hidden in the factory area... He just came back from there yesterday, so he subconsciously didn't look for it there. So it seems that the thing should have appeared after he left.
"Then what?"
"I was scared." Zhao Yi swallowed his saliva, "My mind was blank at the time, I turned around and ran, and then a bunch of small centipedes hatched from the egg-like things came out to chase me. I didn't dare to look back, so I could only run desperately.
The first person I thought of at the time was you, so I ran towards you, but when I was about to reach the block, I felt my body getting heavier and heavier, and my mind became more and more unclear... I looked back and found that my shadow turned into a centipede.
Then, I can't remember clearly."
Chen Ling glanced at the broken black corpse on the ground, his face a little solemn.
Centipedes that can control the human body through shadows... And according to Zhao Yi's description, there seem to be a lot of such things. The large centipede in the factory should have been hatched in the workshop for at least a day.
Chen Ling picked up the intercom without hesitation and pressed the button:
"This is Chen Ling. A large-scale disaster has been discovered in the steel plant, and a large number of offspring have been bred. It is suspected that it has begun to attack the block."
As soon as this sentence came out, the intercom channel fell into silence. After a short second, Han Meng's voice sounded calmly:
"Received."
There was no questioning, no questioning, no surprise or panic. After Han Meng's voice fell, the loud bell rang over the three districts!
Ding-ding-ding! !
The disaster bell rang.
...
This bell woke countless people from their sleep.
"Three disaster bells?!" A middle-aged woman sat up from the bed, her face pale with fear, "Is there another disaster in our three districts?"
"Keep your voice down!"
Boss Xu covered her mouth with a hand and looked out the window vigilantly. The sky was dark and the fog was rolling, and nothing could be seen at all. It was as if there were invisible hands that isolated all the houses.
The woman's eyes widened, and her gaze towards the window was full of fear... The dark sky, the deep fog, the residual bell ringing, these unknowns aroused the fear of the people hiding in the house. They knew that there was something in the fog, but they didn't know if the other party would appear, nor did they know when it would appear.
As if he could feel the woman trembling, Boss Xu lowered his voice and comforted her:
"It's okay... What are you afraid of? The last time the disaster bell rang, wasn't our family fine? Stay at home honestly, and nothing will happen..."
Seeing that the woman was still afraid, Boss Xu hesitated for a moment and added,
"Besides, that demon... um, Law Enforcement Officer Chen Ling, doesn't he live in Frost Street? If we really fight, which disaster can be more fierce than him?"
The woman blinked, and seemed to think that what Boss Xu said made sense. In this case, knowing that there was a law enforcement officer not far away from her undoubtedly gave her a great sense of security... Although sometimes, this law enforcement officer was the source of their fear.
Dong Dong Dong——
A sudden knock on the door sounded.
The knock on the door instantly made the two people's nerves tense. They looked towards the door and held their breath at the same time...
It was so late at night, the fog was thick, and the disaster bell had just rung... Who would come to their house and knock on the door?
In this case, of course they would not rashly ask, just like a child who knows that his parents are out and he is alone at home. It is even more impossible for them to be stupid enough to get up and open the door to see who is knocking. They just stared at the door, and the house was dead silent.
Dong Dong Dong——
The knock on the door sounded again, with the same rhythm as the previous one, not hurried or slow, elegant and patient.
The woman swallowed her saliva, her heart almost jumped out, she certainly realized that something was wrong, and looked at Boss Xu beside her in horror... Boss Xu gritted his teeth, and when the knock on the door sounded for the third time, he carefully got out of bed, took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen, and stared at the door.
If the thing behind the door dared to break in, he at least had a weapon to fight...
Bang——
A shattering sound came from outside the door, and Boss Xu almost dropped the kitchen knife in his hand.
That was not his door. From the sound, it seemed to come from the next door, as if the door was slammed open by something, followed by a series of terrified screams!
Boss Xu could tell that it was the screams of his neighbor Lao Li's family. Through the wall, he could even clearly hear the sound of human bodies being slapped to the ground and flesh being torn apart, children crying, and women screaming.
A moment later, the people across the street and the streets farther away all heard terrified cries. In this pitch-black fog, a chaotic and bloody riot had begun.
Boss Xu's hand holding the kitchen knife trembled uncontrollably, and at this moment, a calm voice sounded from the street.
"Everyone, keep silent."
Hearing this voice, Boss Xu was stunned, and then looked in one direction through the window. In the misty gray fog, a figure in a black windbreaker walked slowly.
He raised his gun and pulled the trigger at the sky, and a buzzing sound resounded through Frost Street!
The next moment, Boss Xu heard the tearing sound next door suddenly stop, as if the monster was attracted, and only the suppressed sobbing of the woman was faintly heard from the corner of the wall.
"Aren't you looking for someone?" Chen Ling stood in the fog and slowly said, "Why not ask me?"
As soon as this sentence came out, a black shadow suddenly passed by Boss Xu's window, as if he had just walked out from next door... It was also at this time that he finally saw the whole picture of that thing.
It was a centipede walking upright, its entire body was pitch black, like a shadow, standing up about two meters tall, with countless thin legs rotating on both sides of its body, and a dark red hole constantly shrinking at the mouth.
Although it only walked for a moment, it scared Boss Xu directly. He sat down on the ground with his lips trembling uncontrollably...
What kind of monster is that? ?
The same doubts also appeared in the minds of all the residents of Frost Street. They hid behind the dark windows, holding their breath, and nervously watched the several centipede monsters approaching in the middle of the street. In the center of their encirclement, the black windbreaker stood upright.
Chen Ling held a gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, slowly sweeping around... As the monsters gradually approached in the thick fog, Chen Ling finally saw their appearance clearly.
Chen Ling was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the black shadows intently... His expression was a little strange.
"These things... seem to smell pretty good?" Chen Ling muttered to himself.
In his field of vision, plucked, tender chickens were slowly walking towards him... They looked like perfect ingredients about to be put into the pot. Just one look at them made one's mouth water.
