Chapter 14 There are abnormal creatures in the community (2)
This wave of energy full of comfort and warmth returned, and Ye Nai let out a comfortable sigh. Her body, which was slightly cold due to the rain, warmed up, even during her period. The slight discomfort caused also disappeared.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Ye Nai did not dare to stay any longer and went home in a circle.
Clean up first when you get home. Six people live in a house of less than 60 square meters. There are a lot of daily clutter. If you don’t tidy up in a day, you will have no place to stay.
While she was mopping the floor in her parents' master bedroom, her father Ye Yu, who was scrolling through his cell phone in the living room, suddenly shouted.
"Ye Nai!"
"What are you doing?" Ye Nai hurried out holding a mop.
"Our building group said that something happened in the community."
"What happened?"
"It seems that there is a strange animal?"
< br>
"Ah?! Has anyone seen it?" Ye Nai put down the mop and was about to grab her father's mobile phone. "It's really hard to hear your story. I'll see for myself."
"Hey, hey, don't grab, don't grab, I I still need to look at it, don’t you have a mobile phone?”
"I didn't join the group."
"You take your phone, take your phone, and I'll take you into the group."
The father and daughter struggled, and Ye Nai finally joined the group. No., holding her card machine and looking through the fresh on-site photos one by one.
The entire site was destroyed, and a complete ridge was trampled into several sections.
It is still raining outside, but residents holding umbrellas who want to watch the excitement have surrounded the exercise venue on three floors inside and three outside.
It really has many floors inside and outside, because some residents of the buildings next to the site took photos from a high position, and they were forwarded by various building groups, not to mention this community, to relatives and friends of each family. I’ve seen them all, and some have even posted them online.
“The scene has been destroyed, what else can be seen?”
“Hey, we can’t see it, it’s okay if the experts can see it.” Her father said as he spoke Poking around on your phone.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Send it to my colleagues. After all these years, it's really rare for strange beasts to appear in urban communities."
"You are still looking forward to the city Abnormal creatures appear in the world? Have you had enough good days?”
“What nonsense, that’s what I said.”
“Oh, I thought you thought life was too dull. Looking for excitement.”
Ye Nai rolled her eyes at her father, put her phone in her pocket, and continued mopping the floor.
After cleaning, I looked at my phone again. The group messages had been updated to the latest version.
Police and inspection personnel appeared in the photo, and the site was cordoned off.
A few new photos came to the group, and the camera truck from the TV station also came to the scene.
Ye Nai calmly lurked in the group to watch the excitement. She was sure that no matter how those people checked, they could not find her.
People who went to work and go to school in the afternoon were back, and the group became more lively. Everyone was guessing where the dangerous creatures underground had gone.
The residents who had been watching the excitement discovered the live broadcast in the group. Ye Nai followed everyone and saw an important message. Preliminary investigation of the site showed that the dangerous creature was an annelid, but there was no sign of it leaving the surrounding soil, and there was no trace of it jumping out of the ground. It was as if it raised a ridge on the ground and then disappeared.
Didn’t he disappear on the spot? He was directly caught by the mycelium from the ground into the mycelial space.
In this whole day, it was almost decomposed, and only one section was left. Because it was completely covered by mycelium, it was hard to tell whether it was the head, tail, or middle section. Anyway, there was only one section of such a big thing. This is it.
Watching the excitement did not delay the housework. In the afternoon, I cooked a large bowl of braised pork with eggs and eggs. At the dinner table, the whole family was discussing the strange incident in the community. This incident was also mentioned in the news, reminding surrounding residents to pay attention to safety. Once discovered, Any abnormalities must be reported to the police.
As the community involved, the family is also worried about safety, but they are worried. To say that they are too scared, the family temporarily goes to live somewhere else for a while, but they feel that it cannot be done.
"This kind of strange beast comes and goes without a trace. Where can it hide? Don't change places and another one will pop up there. It's better to stay at home." Their father Now that my legs are inconvenient, I am naturally the most opposed to tormenting.
"You said that the unknown creature suddenly disappeared in the soil..."
"...Could it be that the thing itself has the ability to move in space?"
The two twin brothers dared to guess and succeeded in frightening their parents and sister. Ye Nai buried her head in her meal without responding.
“Oh, eat, eat, don’t talk nonsense and scare people.” Their mother, Yu Qing, slapped each of her two sons, ending the topic.
After dinner, everything went as usual. Ye Nai finished the night by doing various housework.
When she woke up early the next morning, she took a look at the space. Yesterday's annelids had completely decomposed, leaving no trace behind.
The heat in the building group was much lighter than yesterday. Residents close to the incident site saw that the inspection personnel were busy all night, and the cordon was only withdrawn at dawn. There was no excitement and people chatting. Of course less.
Ye Nai saw the message on her phone and released a large number of spores on the balcony again.
Of course she is not doing it to gain the energy that mycelium gives her, but just to protect the community where she lives.
The family was normal all morning. At noon, when she used the leftover broth from yesterday to cook noodles for her father, the energy fed back by the mycelium was abnormal again. Before Yena could release the spores for further exploration, there was an extra layer in the space. A prey.
It is exactly the same as the link creature yesterday, but it is larger in size. Yesterday's creature coiled around in space, and today's one is thick and long, coiling around more than three times.
Ye Nai was confused, why was it okay before, but now there are abnormal creatures appearing in the community for two consecutive days.
Fortunately, her mycelium is powerful, otherwise, this kind of abnormal creature that is good at burrowing will burrow underground and the community will collapse.
What’s more, it’s strange that the same type of animals appear continuously.
Ye Nai, who was a little worried, stretched out her hand towards the kitchen screen window, exhausted all her strength, and released a large wave of spores, building a safety circle around her building, and then allowed the surplus mycelium to pass through. Look in the direction of the energy to hunt.
Then she continued her work and let her dad have lunch first.
As soon as a large bowl of fragrant noodles was placed on the dining table, there was another prey in the space.
It's still the same annelid. When two of them are stacked on top of each other, more than half of the space is filled. If another one comes, it won't be able to fit in.
“Fuck, two?”
Ye Nai’s surprise was not over yet. Translucent pill-like things continued to be swallowed one after another in the space, as if the space was Like laying eggs.
Every time one falls out, it is quickly covered with a thick layer of mycelium, making it look more like a plush ball.
“Holy shit, laying eggs? Building a nest?”
Ye Nai broke out in a cold sweat, cursed in a low voice, went to the bedroom to push her dad out to eat, and then concentrated on picking up her bowl, not looking at how many "plush balls" were piled up in the space.
