Chapter 54 Slap (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Shang Jianyao's nerves suddenly became highly tense, and his eyes stared at the entrance of Black Rat Town without blinking.
The stones blocking that cave were quite huge, and there was no way to get them down purely by manpower!
Of course, such a possibility cannot be ruled out - Long Yuehong did not place the stone properly when he relied on the exoskeleton device to lift it, causing it to slide down on its own little by little and invisibly, and finally after a long time, it lost its balance and fell to the ground.
So Shang Jianyao did not react immediately and waited for further observations.
Bang!
In a slightly dull sound, the boulder hit the ground, making the entire forest tremble.
This movement quickly fell silent, and under the sparse stars, the night was as dark as before.
But unlike before, a gap appeared in the pile of stones blocking the entrance to Black Rat Town, a gap leading to the Dead Silence Darkness.
Shang Jianyao looked at it carefully for dozens of seconds, and was about to exhale the turbid breath held in his chest when he suddenly found that where the stone had fallen off, a black shadow slowly crawled out of the hole.
The night wind caressed, and the clouds in the sky moved, revealing half the moon.
The bright light shone down and shone on the black shadow, allowing Shang Jianyao to see his general appearance clearly:
He was short in stature, naked, with thick and black hair on his surface, his back was rickety, and his fingernails reflected a sharp cold light.
This is a resident of Black Rat Town!
Shang saw that Yao's pupils suddenly dilated, as if he couldn't believe the picture in front of him, and wanted to see who the other party was more clearly.
He, Jiang Baimian, and Bai Chen searched every corner of Black Rat Town seriously, but they didn't find a single survivor!
The moonlight seemed to be a little brighter again, and Shang Jianyao barely saw the face of the figure.
Half of his face was opened by bullets, and dark red blood and milky white brain pulp were dotted all around.
According to Shang Jianyao's common sense, such a person cannot be called a living person at all.
At the same time, there seemed to be a dark shadow surging at the gap in the stone pile.
"!" Shang Jianyao burst into foul language uncontrollably.
He almost instinctively let go of his right hand holding the handle of the gun, lifted it, and slapped it his right face.
He suspected that he was dreaming.
Syllable!
Shang Jianyao's right face immediately turned red and swollen, and traces of five fingers were faintly visible on it.
The severe pain and buzzing sound came into Shang Jianyao's mind at the same time, causing one golden spot of light to appear in front of his eyes after another.
However, he was still in place, still in front of him were the residents of Black Rat Town crawling down from the gap in the stone pile, and another dark shadow following closely behind.
Shang Jianyao did not shoot impulsively, knowing that his knowledge and experience were not enough to support him in making the right choice in this situation.
Therefore, he wanted to ask Jiang Baimian for help to see if the leader of the "old tune team" knew about similar situations.
He was also about to wake up Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, so that even if he couldn't deal with the changes in Black Rat Town, he would have time to drive wildly and escape from here.
Just as he turned his body, Shang Jianyao didn't have time to shout out when he saw Jiang Baimian's figure appear next to him.
Shang Jianyao was overjoyed and was about to report the situation, but his eyes suddenly froze, and his words blocked his throat.
Under the cold moonlight, Jiang Baimian's heroic and beautiful face grew thick black hairs visible to the naked eye one after another like spring bamboo shoots.
Shang Jianyao's facial muscles moved slightly, and he was unable to control himself and acted in stress.
He threw himself to the side and back, did two rolls in a row, and came to the front of the jeep.
Immediately afterwards, he shook his waist, jumped to the other side, and squatted under the rearview mirror.
In this way, he can use the front of the car as a "fortification", and can open the door at any time and sit in the driver's seat.
"Something happened!" He shouted, trying to wake up Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
After shouting three times in a row, Shang Jianyao took two steps forward, straightened his upper body, and prepared to open the car door.
But at this time, he realized that he didn't have the car keys.
When handing over the night duty task just now, Bai Chen gave Jiang Baimian the key, not him.
Before Shang Jianyao could think of a way, Jiang Baimian's voice came from far and near:
"What happened?"
In the next second, the voices of Long Yuehong and Bai Chen sounded at the tent location:
"What happened?"
Their voices are high and low, but their tone is no different from Jiang Baimian's.
Shang Jianyao's body trembled suddenly, and a dense cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
He forced himself to calm down a little and silently calculated how many meters away he was from Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face, a smile that he couldn't control.
Shang Jianyao immediately straightened his body, ready to stand up, and use the Awakened Ability.
At this moment, he saw himself in the rearview mirror:
The right side of his face was red and swollen, with an inopportune smile......
Shang Jianyao's heart suddenly moved, he bent down again, and took out an absorbent pen and a piece of white paper for recording sandwiched in his pocket.
Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head, used his thighs as a cushion, and quickly wrote after the cap fell to the ground:
"If you can still see this passage later, it means that it is not a dream."
As he wrote, the voices of Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen became closer and closer:
"What happened?"
Shang Jianyao became more and more anxious to write, and the more he wrote, the more sloppy he became, but he still managed to write that sentence.
Then, he casually stuffed the paper back into his pocket, straightened his upper body, stared at himself in the rearview mirror again, and his eyes instantly became deep.
While listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, he quickly organized his language and tried to say:
"It was late at night yesterday and late at this time today.
"Yesterday at this time, we slept in the wild, and at this time today, we also slept in the wild.
"Yesterday at this time, I was dreaming, so at this time today, ......"
Shang Jianyao stopped talking to himself in the mirror, his expression was first dazed, and then gradually determined.
Just as Jiang Baimian walked to the other side of the front of the jeep, Shang Jianyao suddenly realized:
"So, at this time today, I'm also dreaming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if countless stars had exploded in his mind, and his strong self-awareness made his consciousness penetrate various psychedelic pictures.
"Huh!" Shang Jianyao sat up and exhaled the turbid air holding in his chest.
He quickly looked around and found that he was still in the tent and still in his sleeping bag.
In the blink of an eye, Shang Jianyao pulled his hands, exerted his body, and quickly broke away from his sleeping bag like a cheetah, and suddenly jumped to the other side of the tent.
That is where Jiang Baimian sleeps.
In the dark environment with only low light, Shang Jianyao could hardly see anything, but he could hear Jiang Baimian's breathing sound rapid and chaotic, as if he had just completed a five-kilometer off-road.
"Wake up! Wake up!" He relied on his voice and grabbed Jiang Baimian's body, shouting and shaking.
One of them stayed on the periphery to guard against accidents, and the other leaned towards the tent and asked loudly:
"What's wrong?"
Shang Jianyao did not answer, and continued to shake Jiang Baimian's body violently.
Finally, Jiang Baimian made a sound:
"Stop...... Stop! I'm dizzy!"
Shang Jianyao breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up.
At this time, Bai Chen had already opened the door of the tent.
Through the moonlight shining outside, she saw Shang Jianyao squatting next to Jiang Baimian's sleeping bag, gasping for breath, while Jiang Baimian shrank in the sleeping bag and sat with a confused expression.
"What abnormalities were found?" Bai Chen asked calmly.
Shang Jianyao blurted out and replied:
"I had a nightmare......
He couldn't help but pause, feeling that he was like a child, seeking comfort from his elders because he had nightmares.
Seeing that Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen did not laugh at themselves and did not try to interrupt, Shang Jianyao eased up and continued:
"A very real nightmare, I couldn't wake up even slapping myself in the dream. Even though he already felt strong pain, he still couldn't wake up.
"It wasn't until I used the Awakened People's abilities to strengthen my judgment and cognition of dreams that I completely woke up.
"In the dream, the residents of Black Rat Town turned into living corpses, and thick black hair grew on your faces."
The living corpse is a concept in radio stories.
Jiang Baimian was no longer confused, his expression gradually calmed, and he nodded lightly and said:
"I also had a nightmare.
"I dreamed that I was doing research in the laboratory, and you were all my assistants......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian was suddenly speechless.
It was time to breathe, she continued:
"That dream was very real. Because of some details, I also suspected that I was dreaming, so I quickly poked myself with a needle, and I felt the same pain as normal.
"This dispelled my suspicions, and then, there was an accident in the lab next door, and a highly toxic gas leaked and spread throughout the floor.
"I was running frantically with you to the exit, trying to escape the company before the poisonous gas filled the air, but I was woken up by Shang Jianyao."
As she spoke, she raised her left hand and brought it to the bright moonlit area.
Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen, who came closer, both saw a pinhole-sized red spot at the tiger's mouth on that hand, which was slightly swollen.
Jiang Baimian immediately looked at Shang Jianyao's face, and unsurprisingly found the red and swollen spot with five fingerprints.
"I don't have a needle on me......" Jiang Baimian thought for a moment, "This is not caused by sleepwalking."
Saying that, she stretched out her left hand to the five fingerprints on the right side of Shang Jianyao's face and gestured in the air:
"I didn't hit this either."
Bai Chen followed Jiang Baimian's palm and looked at it carefully:
"I can't completely deny it, the redness and swelling are too obvious now, the fingerprints are a little distorted, there is an error in comparison, and the length difference between your fingers is not too big."
"I really hit it with my left hand, can he still have teeth left on this side of his face?" A trace of electric current appeared from the top of the finger of Jiang Baimian's left hand.
Her left arm and left hand are part of the electric eel-type prosthetic limbs, and one of her characteristics is her great strength.
Bai Chen agreed with this, and Shang Jianyao was speechless.
He was about to describe in detail the scene he saw in his dream when Jiang Baimian suddenly frowned:
"Do you think of anything?"
