The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 25 Uncle Zhang

The three of them lifted the blue cloth and walked out of the arcade room.

Wu Dahai reached out and pulled down the rolling shutter door, "Old Huang, don't blame me. I'm just a worker in the organization. The rules are set by the bosses."

At this moment, Qing Ling was standing silently on the roadside outside the house.

"Qing Ling? Or Qing Ling?" Gao Yang asked carefully.

"Qing Ling." She looked back: "Did you win?"

"We won." Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "But this is just a warm-up, there is a second test."

Qing Ling said as expected, "I think so."

"Is it true that I was so naive that I just wanted to win the game?" Officer Huang was a little hurt.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you play the game well or not. I'm mainly testing your patience and also observing your character. Our organization does not use strength as the only criterion." Wu Dahai rubbed his hands proudly. He rubbed his nose.

"Now that our character has passed the test, is it time to test our strength next?" Gao Yang asked.

"Of course, our organization will not accept those with five talents. Anyone whose talent serial number is not in the top 100 will be given a PASS."

Gao Yang felt guilty: Wasn't it me?It seems that I can only muddle through for a while.If that doesn't work, let Qing Ling and Officer Huang join the organization first. Anyway, he can slowly hang up and earn lucky points. It won't be too late to realize new talents after he has hung up enough.

"Can I take this thing away?" An old and hoarse voice came from not far away.

Gao Yang looked sideways and saw an old man with tattered clothes and a stooped figure. He was carrying a dirty garbage basket and holding a pair of rusty fire tongs in his hand.

The old man stood next to Officer Huang's police car and pointed with a poker to an empty Coke bottle on the front hood: "Can you just give me this?" the old man asked again.

"Oh, sure, no problem." Officer Huang walked forward enthusiastically, poured out the last bit of Coke, flattened the Coke bottle with his bare hands, and threw it into the trash can behind the old man.

"Haha, the young man is so strong." The old man's face was full of wrinkles, but his smile was very pleasant.

"Of course, you graduate from the police academy and practice every day." Officer Huang took out a pack of cigarettes from his breast pocket, "Sir, would you like one?"

"Okay." The old man's cloudy eyes lit up.

Officer Huang expertly took out a cigarette, put it into the old man's mouth, and then took out a lighter and lit it for him.

"Hmm... Not bad." The old man took a sip and enjoyed it very much. Without thanking him, he slowly turned around and left.

The four people watched the old man leave.

"It's not easy to still pick up garbage at such an old age." Officer Huang was quite sympathetic.

"If you had seen Uncle Zhang when he was young, you wouldn't think so." Wu Dahai sneered: "I grew up in this area when I was a child. At that time, the children in the whole street were afraid of him."

"Is it?"

"Uncle Zhang is a butcher, but he is very cruel. He always disliked his wife for not giving him a son, so he beat her every day and sent her to the hospital several times. Later, her wife couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide by drinking pesticide. On the day of suicide, his daughter The college entrance examination was just over, and his wife was afraid that it would affect her daughter's performance, so she endured it until the college entrance examination was over."

The three were silent.

"His daughter severed the father-daughter relationship with him after she went to college and never returned home. Uncle Zhang's wife died and his life was boring. Later, he stopped killing pigs. He drank every day and drank people to death. Later, he also I got involved in gambling and lost my house. Since then, I have been living on subsistence allowances and picking up garbage."

Wu Dahai changed his previous frivolous image and looked a little deeper: "This Uncle Zhang has lived a lifetime. I feel that although he is the least human now, he is the most human-like."

Speaking of this, Wu Dahai sneered: "Of course, he is actually a beast."

"Keep your voice down," Officer Huang reminded, "He's not far away, he'll hear you."

"It's okay. He is a lost person. Even if he hears it, he will automatically ignore it."

"He fell." Qing Ling interrupted.Wu Dahai looked back and saw that Uncle Zhang in front of him had fallen to the ground at some point.

"Uncle Zhang?" Wu Dahai stepped forward quickly, "Are you okay?"

The night wind blew in his face. Gao Yang looked at Uncle Zhang who fell to the ground not far away and suddenly felt something was wrong.He couldn't tell what was wrong. This seemed to be an instinctive alert brought to him by his improved "perception".

"Wait a minute! Don't go there!" Gao Yang called to Wu Dahai.

Wu Dahai was less than three meters away from the old man. He stopped and said, "What's wrong?"

The next second, everyone except Wu Dahai saw it - Uncle Zhang stood up!

Instead of slowly getting up like a normal person, he ignored the force of gravity, and his stiff body was straightened by some invisible force in a "whoosh".

Qing Ling pulled out a long knife, and Officer Huang quickly took out his pistol.

Gao Yang was not idle and immediately stepped back.He knows very well that he is a waste now, and not holding back is his greatest contribution to the team.

When Wu Dahai saw the three people's vigilant movements, he immediately realized that something was wrong.He turned around quickly and saw Uncle Zhang tilting his head, his limbs stiff and tight, like a "chopstick" with a broken head.His mouth was twitching at high speed, foaming at the mouth, and he kept repeating incoherently: "Human, human, human, human, human..."

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Zhang's skin seemed to be burned by some invisible flame, melting rapidly, evaporating into bursts of blood mist, revealing bloody muscle tissue. At the same time, his body shook wildly, and patches of blood exploded from his body. .

Uncle Zhang's voice changed from a painful groan to a fanatical wail: "Human! Human! Human!" His chest expanded rapidly, and his ribs broke through the flesh, opening to both sides like the bloody mouth of a piranha flower. A disgusting sarcoma was born, and the sarcoma was covered with human facial features.

If I have to describe it, it's like someone wrapped countless eyes, mouths, ears, and noses in thick plastic, then stuffed them all into the oven, and then roasted them all together to melt them together.

This sarcoma is like a flower bud, slowly blooming.

Uncle Zhang's upper body turned into branches and leaves and rattan wrapping the "buds", while his lower body plunged deeply into the ground in a state of corrosion and melting.

In just half a minute, Uncle Zhang transformed from a human into a deformed, bloody "piranha".

"What kind of beast is this?" Qing Ling frowned.

"I don't know." Officer Huang said quietly.

"Kill? Or run." Qing Ling asked.

"Run, he doesn't seem to be able to chase people, and he has lost his intelligence..." Before Officer Huang finished speaking, "Uncle Zhang's" large intestine had turned into several bloody fleshy "rattans", one of which was "rattan". Flying towards Wu Dahai.

Wu Dahai was startled, turned around and ran away.

"Bah." The cane wrapped around his ankle and pulled hard, causing Wu Dahai to fall heavily to the ground.

"Don't touch me! Get away, get away..." Wu Dahai twisted wildly on the ground, trying to grab anything with his hands, but it was all in vain.

He was about to be caught at the feet of "Uncle Zhang" and become its food.

"boom!"

A bullet was fired, breaking the rattan wrapped around Wu Dahai's ankle.

The rattan spurted out a cloud of blood mist and immediately retracted. The broken rattan also let go of Wu Dahai's ankle. Like a sensitive snake, it swam back along the ground quickly and plunged headlong into "Uncle Zhang". "In his body, he became one with it again.

Soon, the broken vines grew again.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

This time, the three canes flew towards Wu Dahai.
