Chapter 969 The Lost World
The black shadow jumped out from the ground and rushed directly towards Eclair. Looking at the black shadow in front of him, Eclair was...
"Wow————!"
Almost at the same time, Mary and Lumière also let out terrified screams and quickly retreated to the side. Instead, Ogis reached out and wrapped the black figure with silk thread. It was only then that Eclair ran away like an electric shock and jumped up from the side of the black figure.
As for why the girls were so frightened, the reason was very simple, because it was a cockroach with several pairs of legs, smooth curves, black body, and about the size of a human being!
"No, no, no, what is this!"
Mary desperately climbed onto Duanmu Huai's body and hugged his jetpack tightly, even her usual ladylike reserve was gone. Even Lumiere rarely hid behind Duanmu Huai, and the "demeanor" and "elegance" he always talked about were nowhere to be seen.
"Zhizhizhi————!"
However, the huge cockroach didn't seem to be willing to give in. It still waved its tentacles desperately and made a creepy sound. Not only that, but what is even more creepy is that along with the scream of the cockroach, the nearby ground also began to rise, and then one after another equally huge cockroaches came out of it...
"No ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
The girls' screams reached the sky, and even Duanmuhuai had to lower the volume of his helmet - the screams were comparable to the sonic attacks of the Noise Warriors.
However, Duanmuhuai also admitted that it was quite scary to see a group of human-sized cockroaches emerging from below.
But, after all, it’s just a cockroach!
"Look at me!"
Duanmu Huai roared angrily, raised his hammer, and smashed it hard against the ground. The cockroaches crawling all over the ground were suddenly exploded by the smash, and countless smelly, sticky white liquids shot out and scattered everywhere. land.
"ah-----!"
However, what Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that he had just helped the girls solve the problem that made them yell. The next moment, they let out another scream, quickly got off of him, and then distanced themselves from him. , even Ogis and Qiuwei are no exception.
"What's wrong with you?"
Duanmu Huai glanced around. All these cockroaches were killed. What do they call them?
"Duan, Mr. Duanmu, on your body..."
Mary stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed at Duanmuhuai's body. Duanmuhuai looked down and saw a layer of blood sprayed by cockroaches on the front of his armor, and a few cockroach legs on his body—— —But it’s also outside the armor, and Duanmu Huai doesn’t feel it at all.
"It's just such a small thing. What are you afraid of? Aren't all those cockroaches killed by you guys?"
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he wiped off a few cockroach legs on his body, and then walked towards the girls.
As a result, as soon as he took a few steps, he saw the girls taking a few steps back, staring at him as if they were seeing a scary big cockroach.
"……………………"
When I saw cockroaches just now, they all ran toward me in fear. Now that they see some cockroach blood on me, they all stay away from me? You know, I beat this cockroach to death for you.
Hey, woman.
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently.
It wasn't until Duanmu Huai silently disinfected his armor from top to bottom, and then washed it again, that the girls dared to come closer again - they looked like Duanmu Huai was a giant cockroach just now!
"What on earth is going on in this world?"
Mary held her chest and gasped for breath - even facing the children of the old god had never made her so nervous, right?
"Why are there such big cockroaches here!"
Eclair even held her hands in her arms, feeling numb all over. It was just an ordinary little bug. A cockroach as big as a human would really give people nightmares, right?
"Ahem."
Duanmuhuai coughed and said.
"I have heard of similar situations."
"similar situation?"
"Yes, I seem to have heard that there is a mad scientist who wants to fuse the genes of cockroaches and humans to create a kind of super cockroach people. Then his experiment was successful, and a bunch of super cockroach people appeared. They have Under the outer shell of a cockroach is a human body full of muscles, and their heads are also like cockroaches..."
"Yeah--Yeah--please stop talking, Mr. Duanmu!"
Mary was the first to cover her ears, and was so frightened that she almost knelt on the ground - and then jumped up again. After all, she still remembered that those cockroaches crawled out of the ground.
What's even worse is that Mary is also a writer, and writers generally have rich imaginations, not to mention Duanmu Huai's descriptions so clearly...
Mary felt like she had goosebumps all over her body.
Even Eclair and Lumière were pale and trembling. Only Ogis and Qiaowei seemed calm - as dolls, they seemed unable to understand humans' fear of such strange insects.
So why did Ogis and Qianwei leave Duanmuhuai just now?
Well, Ogis's answer is simple.
"It's dirty and smelly."
As expected of his own little cotton-padded jacket, Duanmuhuai was almost penetrated.
Looking at the miserable appearance of the girls in front of him, Duanmu Huai laughed.
I told you to dislike me just now, this is retribution.
"So... what is going on in this world?"
After a short stay, the group immediately left the wasteland. Although there was nothing there, the cockroaches that emerged from the ground were enough to make them change their direction.
"A fragmented world, the afterimage of a world that has disappeared."
Ogis and Jiawei knew it, but Mary, Lumiel and others didn't know much about it, and Duanmu Huai didn't tell them about it. At this time, he took the opportunity to popularize it - of course, this kind of fragmented world knowledge is useless for ordinary people to popularize, and it is indeed useless if you are not a soul messenger.
"It's really hard to imagine. Are you saying that before our world, there was another civilization on this planet? I've never heard of it..."
Eclair looked incredible. She wouldn't care about other places, but Duanmu Huai was talking about her planet. She had worked on this planet for hundreds of years. Now someone told her that there was another ancient civilization before them... To be honest, Eclair couldn't imagine it at all.
"It's very far away from you. It may have been destroyed before your civilization was born."
Duanmu Huai looked around. He didn't let the girls take off their helmets. Although according to the detection of the bird divination instrument, the various data of the fragment world are better than the previous planet wrapped in clouds and lightning, but there are also some high radiation pollution data - of course, just look at the cockroach and you will know. There is no such big cockroach in the normal world.
So for the sake of caution, Duanmu Huai still let them continue to wear helmets - the protective clothing of the Star Alliance is still in place.
This world looks desolate, but you can barely see a few buildings in the distance, indicating that there should still be civilization in this world. However, because it was too far away, Duanmu Huai could only see a rough outline even with a telescope, so so far, he has not figured out what the situation in this world is.
But at least Duanmu Huai is sure that the situation in this world is definitely not much better.
After all, there are cockroaches as big as humans crawling all over the ground. If there are people in this world, they must live a hard life.
Of course, unless they are in a giant world, that is another matter.
Fortunately, they don’t seem to be in a giant world—at least when everyone walks to those buildings, they can see that the buildings here are built according to the standard size of humans.
But……
“It’s so miserable… What happened here?”
Looking at the ruins everywhere, the corpses and bloodstains everywhere, the girls couldn’t help but gasp. Although they have seen a lot of strange things, but… the miserable state of these corpses in front of them still makes them unbearable to watch. Not only that…
“What… what is this? Is this a human?”
Mary held the gun carefully, approached a human corpse lying on the ground, and whispered. It's no wonder that Mary is so suspicious, because although this person has a human body, his head looks like an exploded mushroom, with only a mouth underneath, which looks extremely weird and scary.
"Who knows what this thing is, even if it was a human before, it's not a human now."
Duanmu Huai took out the bird augur and scanned it, and then came to a conclusion.
"Then... how can we leave this world?"
"Currently? There is no way for the time being. I need to find the core of this world and then make a decision..."
This fragmented world does not belong to Duanmu Huai yet, so Duanmu Huai has no way to open the portal. Just like other worlds, Duanmu Huai needs to change the original destiny of this world.
But... is there any need to change this world?
Isn't it all over? What the hell is there to change? They are all dead.
"In short, let's go around and take a look, um..."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stopped and looked at the steel behemoth in front of him - they were currently at a station, and there was a train parked on the platform here. It didn't seem to be destroyed, and everything seemed normal.
"What's wrong?"
"I suddenly had a good idea."
Duanmu Huai turned his head to look at the girls. Looking at the train, Duanmu Huai suddenly remembered a game he played before, where the protagonist controlled the train to move forward in the apocalypse. It seemed quite interesting... There happened to be a train parked here. Well, if this is regarded as a game, wouldn't it be the protagonist coming here and then finding a means of transportation?
"We have nothing to do anyway, let's take a train and go around."
