Chapter 259 Wasteland
The liquid metal blade instantly expanded to more than one meter in length, cutting open the squirming cocoon on the bed from top to bottom.
A naked body appeared in front of Sun Hang. Many parts of the body had shown signs of dissolution and were adhered to the inner wall of the cocoon. At first glance, it looked like a deformed human embryo. The outer layer of cocoon is equivalent to the mother's uterus...
But these are not important... Sun Hang's eyes have been completely attracted by something else.
On the head of this curled-up body, there is actually a long, snow-white, smooth hair... This long hair is extremely beautiful and smooth. Even if it is covered with that disgusting mucus, it does not make people feel disgusted at all. The feeling makes me even want to reach out and touch it...
The last time Sun Hang saw such long white hair... it was on Anna's head.
"Isn't this guy causing trouble again?"
With this thought in mind, Sun Hang took another step forward, grabbed the body's shoulders, and turned it over.
Sure enough, that familiar, flawless face appeared in front of Sun Hang again.
At this time, the face was covered with translucent mucus and was in a mess... But this appearance happened to produce a strange sense of beauty, a sense of beauty that could directly inspire the violent desires in human nature.
It's a pity that Sun Hang doesn't feel that way at all.
"What the fuck." Sun Hang cursed in a calm tone.
"Anna" smiled at him, and the next second, that perfect face began to melt, turning into a white skeleton in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scene changed... The originally real scene suddenly became like a distorted old photo, with blurry grainy texture everywhere. Sun Hang turned around and saw Xu Dasheng and Lao Chentou standing outside, maintaining their previous postures motionless, as if frozen.
"What are you doing?"
A strong sense of trance came over him, and Sun Hang suddenly found that he was still sitting in the driving seat of the off-road vehicle, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands.
It was surrounded by an empty wilderness, with nothing to be seen except some dry low shrubs.
"Where the hell did this come from? Is this still in China?"
Sun Hang glanced at the navigation system and found that the signal had been interrupted. The last recorded location was at the toll station at the south gate of Tianfu City.
He took out his mobile phone and found that there were more than forty missed calls on the screen, nearly thirty of which were from Yang Qi.
In addition to missed calls, there are also a lot of unread text messages.
There is also no signal on the mobile phone, but fortunately, the messages received previously can still be read.
Sun Hang opened the unread messages one by one.
"Yang Qi: Sun Hang, what are you crazy about? You drove all the way through 28 checkpoints? I didn't answer my call? You called me back as soon as you saw the message!"
"Yang Qi: What's wrong with you?!"
"Yang Qi: Can you see the message I sent you?"
"Yang Qi: What's wrong with you? Reply to the message quickly!"
"Yang Qi: Nothing will happen to you, right? Don't scare me!"
"Yang Qi: Everything on the monitoring bracelet is normal. What exactly happened? Can you tell me? I won't stop you."
"Yang Qi: Are you in danger?"
"Yang Qi: How is the situation now? You are driving all the way south now, and you are about to drive out of Tianfu City. What is there over there?"
"Yang Qi: Sun Hang, can you reply to my message? I have contacted everyone I can contact, and we will set up a card on your only way. If you are unwilling to tell me the reason, we can only use I stopped you with force."
"Wang Xiyi: Sun Hang, why don't you reply to Yang Qi's message?"
"Wang Xiyi: I'm rushing to your location. I'll be there soon. Don't let anything happen to me. Do you hear me?"
"Wang Xiyi: Where are you? Where are you?"
The unread text messages disappeared here. Sun Hang raised his left hand... The monitoring bracelet originally worn on his wrist was gone.
Judging from the content of the text message, it seemed that he lost consciousness while driving and fell into that illusion. In reality, he was controlled by some unknown force and knocked away several cars along the way. There were ten checkpoints and they left Tianfu City directly from the city exit on the south side.
Obviously, Yang Qi's so-called "strong tactics" failed to stop her... Wang Xiyi didn't even see her figure.
"So...where am I now?"
Sun Hang glanced at the time displayed on his phone—assuming there was no problem with the time, it had been fourteen hours since he left the Tianfu City Institute of Creatures.
At the speed of this off-road vehicle, fourteen hours, all the way south...
It's enough to drive out of the Xiazhou Federation's controlled area... and enter the "occupied area" full of unknowns and dangers.
"I shouldn't be in a occupied area, right?"
Sun Hang's nose twitched slightly, but he didn't smell anything strange.
It is now nine o'clock in the morning. Under normal circumstances, it should be bright, but it is still pitch black outside the car window, which means that Sun Hang is still within the scope of eternal night.
He had seen satellite images of Yong Ye on Yang Qi's computer. In addition to Shuzhou, a considerable part of the occupied areas in the Yunnan region was also located under Yong Ye.
Sun Hang opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and walked around the car.
The condition of the off-road vehicle is pretty good. Except for a lot of new collision marks on the front of the vehicle, there is nothing wrong with it. I have to say that I still have a lot of dignity. If it were someone else's car, I would dare to hit the checkpoint like this. , has long been swept into a hornet's nest by fully automatic weapons.
No matter what happens, at least the tires will definitely not escape the disaster.
But no one in this group of soldiers dared to stop him, and they forced him to drive to such a ghost place.
The remaining fuel in the vehicle was still sufficient, and it was more than enough to drive back to Tianfu City along the original road. However, behind the vehicle, the track mark only extended for more than ten meters, and was no longer visible.
Sun Hang was not sure whether he had changed direction unconsciously... If he had, going back along this remaining track would lead deeper into the occupied area.
"Ana?" Sun Hang raised his head and shouted, "Ana Demoshena?" No one responded.
Sun Hang looked into the distance and could vaguely see the outline of the mountains under the black sky - it was a pity that he was not so familiar with the surrounding terrain of Shuzhou that he could tell where he was just by looking at the shapes of the surrounding mountains. The degree of orientation... Not to mention, in Sun Hang's eyes, the mountains in the distance all seemed to look the same.
There are also many mountains around Tianfu City, and these mountains all look the same to Sun Hang.
Sun Hang sighed and subconsciously wanted to summon a liquid metal blade to float beside him... But soon, he realized the problem.
The liquid metal blade had solidified and turned into a hard wrist guard that was firmly placed on his forearm.
He tried to summon Tai Sui mycelium, but failed to get any response.
He pulled out the dagger and made a cut on the pad of his thumb. Along with a slight burning pain, red blood overflowed from the wound.
The wound didn't heal and the pain didn't go away.
Sun Hang frowned, took a step back, and leaned against the door of the off-road vehicle.
He found that all his "abilities"... seemed to have disappeared.
He wasn't sure if the memes in his body had disappeared... because he no longer even had the ability to sense them.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Am I back to a normal person?" Sun Hang sucked the blood on his thumb and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "Is this the real world...or another nested dream?"
If it was a dream, what should I do to get rid of it?
Sun Hang looked at the hunting pistol inserted in the holster.
He pulled out his pistol, turned the gun, and pointed it at his head.
The cold metal pressed against his chin, and as long as the index finger holding the trigger pressed a little harder, Sun Hang's head would explode like a watermelon falling from a high altitude.
No, not just the head... The power of this gun, without those special abilities, is enough to tear Sun Hang's entire upper body apart.
Only the part below the waist can be preserved, and the flesh and blood splattered everywhere will be like paint covering the ground under your feet and the body of the off-road vehicle.
Sun Hang took a deep breath, and then put down his gun.
His intuition told him that this was not a dream.
"In that case, why don't you kill me directly instead of leading me to a place like this?" Sun Hang turned off the safety of the pistol, "Is it because... you can't kill me?"
"I have lost all memetic abilities... Now I am just an ordinary person, there is no reason why you can't kill me."
"But when I pointed the gun at myself, the feeling was too strong... as if the other person was trying to induce me to commit suicide... I even seemed to vaguely hear the laughter of a successful trick..."
"And the disappointed, slightly angry sigh when I put down the gun."
"Is it an illusion? Maybe so."
Sun Hang looked around again, opened the door and sat back in the car.
"If I want to commit suicide, the three apes will definitely come to stop me immediately, right?"
"So, is there a possibility..."
"The existence that led me here has died with the three apes in order to deprive me of my abilities?"
"That's why you don't have the energy to kill me?"
"Or to put it another way... After losing my ability, I am no different from an ordinary person. It doesn't matter whether I am killed or not. Instead of wasting time, why not just leave me here to fend for myself?"
Sun Hang took another deep breath and threw all these messy thoughts out of his mind.
There are only two things he has to do now.
1. Survive. 2. Return to the place that belongs to human civilization.
He rummaged under the seat for a while, took out a flattened medical bag, and found a band-aid that had expired for an unknown period of time - fortunately, the adhesive tape of the band-aid was not sticky. It doesn't disappear because it expires.
"Damn... I got used to it when I had the ability to heal myself. If I had known, this wound wouldn't have been so deep."
Sun Hang cursed while bandaging the wound on his thumb, then he lowered the back of the driver's seat and climbed into the second row of seats.
There is an emergency weapons box stuffed under the second row of seats. It contains a short assault rifle with complete accessories, three boxes of one-hundred-round bullets, and six grenades that can be fired using an under-mounted launcher... just in case. If we really encounter a strange thing, the firepower of this gun must be stronger than the hunting pistol in Sun Hang's hand that only has seven bullets and no spare magazine.
Of course, the premise is that the bullet is effective against the strange thing.
"Weapons, medicines... and water and food..." Sun Hang counted the supplies in the car one by one. Although many of the supplies stored in the car have expired, military-standard cans and compressed biscuits like this, don't look at them. The shelf life on it is only three years, but in a sealed environment, they will not deteriorate even if they are stored for thirty years...at most, the taste will only become worse.
This wilderness gave Sun Hang a feeling of extreme scarcity of supplies. The hard and cracked soil, dead shrubs... coupled with the environmental factor of eternal night, it was no less difficult to find safe food in the wilderness. Yang Lian wore a bunny girl costume and pole danced for herself in the office... The latter might have a chance in the future, as for the former...
"Compressed biscuits are more reliable." Sun Hang recategorized the supplies and fixed the loaded assault rifle with a seat belt on the passenger seat within easy reach. Then he took out a marker and wrote The first stroke of a straight character was painted on the lower left corner of the windshield.
"Survival in the wilderness, the first day, 9:17 in the morning, the location is unknown." Sun Hang said to himself, "72% of the phone's battery remaining, 60% of the fuel tank remaining, and the two spare fuel tanks are full. Ammo remaining, rifle There are three hundred rounds of ammunition, seven rounds of pistol ammunition, and six rounds of rifle grenades. The food is expected to last for a week... Water may be a problem. Even if you save water, I am afraid it will only be enough for three days at most."
"It's a pity that Yang Qi's car does not have a water filtration device... The water source in the occupied area is very dangerous. If I can't return to Shuzhou in three days... I'm afraid I will have to drink my own urine."
"The first priority is to find the right direction; secondly, figure out where you are, collect supplies, and avoid possible strange things."
"First explore a distance of one kilometer in one direction, and then return here." Sun Hang memorized the distribution and shape of the surrounding bushes, then turned the car and followed the track that was only a dozen meters long to "return." "Sail away.
Sun Hang drove very slowly, and the car kept moving forward slowly at a speed of twenty-five yards. In addition to the headlights, Yang Qi's off-road vehicle was also equipped with searchlights in all four directions. When all these searchlights were turned on, , with the off-road vehicle as the center, the area within a radius of at least fifty meters can be illuminated.
In the darkness, light can always bring a little psychological comfort to people.
But similarly, in the darkness, the only light source will make it a target of public criticism.
