Chapter 116 True Cruelty
“It’s a bit complicated and can’t be explained for a while.”
Milo rubbed his eyebrows.
He himself was a little confused. The memories from the perspective of the undead were mixed with his own memories. In addition, some things were missing from Carl’s perspective of the undead. He didn’t know that there was an underground cave after Carl fainted. What happened there.
I can only put those doubts aside for now.
Milo said to Rebecca:
"Send Kai to a safe place first, and then we will find the other children."
But as soon as he finished speaking, in the jungle ahead A very hoarse voice came from the middle:
“No need to look for it.”
Click! !
Milo and Rebecca simultaneously raised their guns and pointed in the direction of the sound.
It was later discovered that the person speaking was Mogot.
The old guy looked embarrassed, carrying the old rifle with a lot of obvious blood stains on his body.
After seeing that it was Mogot, Milo lowered his gun.
“What’s wrong?”
"It's a miracle that you are still alive. Did you blow up the mine? Forget it, come with me." Mogot glanced at the billowing smoke in the collapsed mining site behind him, shook his head, and turned around with his rifle on his back. leave.
Mogot's tone was very complicated, with a clear sense of decadence.
Milo and Rebecca looked at each other, a little confused, but they still followed.
After bypassing a jungle, several people came to the mouth of a mountain stream.
……
…
Here, Milo saw three corpses.
Except for Kai, they were the bodies of the other three boys. They were covered in mud and blood, and each of them had a bloody bullet hole between their eyebrows.
Three corpses were lying peacefully on the grass, no longer alive at all.
…
"You'd better explain the deaths of these three people."
Rebecca stared at Mogot with red eyes.
If Milo hadn't intentionally stopped her, she might have attacked Mogot as soon as she saw the bodies of the three children.
Mogot sat dejectedly on the stone next to him, took out a match and lit a cigarette, and said helplessly:
"To be precise, a total of four people died here."< br>
Milo kept tugging on Rebecca's wrist, but said nothing.
Because he had already discovered from the beginning that in addition to the bodies of the three boys on the blood-stained ground, there were also some broken limbs.
Those stumps did not belong to the three boys.
Among the stumps, Milo saw a rusty dagger, a flintlock musket, and a large backpack. The backpack contained Walker's belongings, including the huge metal lunch box... …
In addition, those children all have bulging abdomens.
Walker was eaten.
......
Rebecca buried Kai's face in the crook of her neck to prevent her from seeing this.
She didn’t plan to ask any more questions, but Mogot stubbornly added:
“When I found them, they had almost eaten. In fact, I didn’t Even if they were shot, they would not survive. These boys not only ate meat, they also swallowed the bones, and their stomachs were already bursting..."
"Shut up!!"
Rebecca yelled angrily.
Mogot closed his mouth angrily and stopped talking, smoking his cigarette seriously.
Milo shook his head.
He didn’t know what to say. Maybe it was a lucky thing that Kai entered the underground cave, but overall, she was the unluckiest one tonight.
She is in a semi-conscious state now. I just hope she won't remember these things when she wakes up.
Anyway, Milo didn’t know how to tell her all this.
The three children closest to her devoured Walker.
"You two are law enforcement officers. Please think about how to end this matter. I can't explain it anyway." Mogot took a long drag on his cigarette and muttered:
"I have long said that there are demons in the barren mountains, man-eating demons!"
Rebecca hugged Kai and left the bloody grassland.
Milo carefully walked around the edge of the blood stains and moved closer to take a look at the broken corpses.
He did not find any traces of fungi growing in the pool of blood.
This made Milo even more puzzled.
Worshipers will only have an appetite for humans infected with the mycelium.
As descendants of aborigines, these children would curse and fall into madness every day. However, after so many years, they have never done anything cannibalistic. At most, they only ran deep into the barren mountains. Why? Suddenly do something so horrific.
If this was the effect of the curse itself, then Walker would have died long ago. After all, he had been taking care of these four children alone.
In the town of Ikem, the children had no desire to eat when they were crazy.
It will be there in the barren mountains.
Why?
Is it the distance?
The closer you get to the underground cave, the stronger your hunger will be?
Milo couldn’t figure it out.
He saw too many strange things after entering the town of Ikem, and there were too many things that could not be explained. Now he simply cannot understand the so-called old god deep underground. What exactly does the body want to do?
Or, as the raven said, the old god has been corrupted, and it now only retains its animal nature, so the worshipers it leads will do this series of crazy and weird actions.
How to explain the white monster as a newborn?
It is obviously intelligent and not a pure beast. It has its own thoughts and plans, and even has some closely related secrets with Kai.
"I'm from out of town, so you can't ask me about things here."
Milo picked up Walker's blood-stained backpack with two fingers and took a look. , after thinking about it, he simply put Walker's dagger and unfired flintlock musket into his backpack.
"Law enforcement officers are obliged to recover the weapons of their dead colleagues. This is the only law enforcement oath I can remember... At least he is the most reliable law enforcement officer I have ever seen in Galede."
< br>Milo muttered to himself and picked up the backpack belonging to Walker.
“Tsk.” Mogot listened to Milo’s stinging words and blew a puff of smoke into the air with disdain:
“No one in Galid will care about his life or death. "
"That girl cares." Milo shrugged, and then added:
"There will always be someone who cares. Someone must care. Otherwise, what have you been doing in the barren mountains for so many years, right?"
Mogot fell silent after hearing this.
......
Just when the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat solidified, there was suddenly some subtle movement coming from the direction of the mining area.
It was the sound of someone howling.
"That's it."
Milo's eyes immediately became solemn.
He knew exactly who the voice belonged to.
The collapsed mining area was able to bury the guy underground, it came out.
It was angry, Milo could hear it from the howling sound.
"Take Kai and leave!"
Just as Milo shouted these words to Rebecca, there was a swishing sound in the dense jungle ahead, approaching crazily!
Extremely fast!
