I made myself the protagonist

Zhao Sicheng was closest to the forest. The moment Ling Yun's voice sounded, he suddenly felt an unusually violent commotion in the soil under his feet. Before he could shine a flashlight on it, the next second, a soft red object broke out of the ground and ran straight towards it.

It hit him in the face.

Almost subconsciously, Zhao Sicheng raised the engineer shovel in his hand and slashed at the thing.

However, he only felt a strange force entangled the shovel. The moment it came into contact with the monster, the metal shovel made a "sizzling" sound - under Zhao Sicheng's gaze, the shovel melted instantly!

The tentacles mixed with the fishy wind attacked Zhao Sicheng again. At the critical moment, Xiaolong took the weapon in his hand and stabbed the soft flesh fiercely.

"Bang!"

The moment the engineer shovel came into contact with the tentacles, the mass of flesh that was still moving slowly in the depths of the jungle suddenly retracted all the tentacles with a "swish" like a bolt of lightning, and then turned to where Xiaolong was.

.

Those red tentacles instantly wrapped around the engineer shovel. As they slowly shrank, the surface of the shovel continued to be corroded and quickly split into four or five pieces of debris. Then, like soft-bodied creatures, those tentacles quickly wrapped around the ground.

Metal.

"Let's go!" Xiaolong made a decisive decision and pulled Zhao Sicheng. Taking advantage of the moment when the meatball's attention was distracted, the two of them pulled up their legs and ran towards the wooden house without looking back.

Shen Tinglan and Ling Yun quickly closed the door, and everyone took out their weapons and alerted the surroundings. Through the gaps in the wooden boards, they soon discovered that there were strange noises coming from the woods in all directions around the house.

The dark clouds above the head gradually dispersed, and under the dark red blood moon, a large amount of blood continuously poured out from the depths of the dense forest, dyeing the surrounding soil bright red.

In front of everyone's sight, a ball of minced meat mixed with a large amount of thick black blood continued to drill out from the ground in all directions. The pieces of meat continued to squirm as if they were alive, and gradually gathered into a meat ball-shaped object.

The surface of the sarcoma was pitted and bumpy, and accompanied by the chilling sounds of "pop" and "pop", Zhao Sicheng suddenly discovered that the sarcoma was covered with pairs of black and white eyes!

The eyeballs kept turning and looking around, and then, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the sphere. Several uneven yellow teeth popped out of the cracks, and the foul-smelling pus mixed with blood flowed everywhere.

Zhao Sicheng leaned against the door, staring through the crack in the door at the meat ball that had just attacked him: as its size continued to expand, he suddenly discovered that black fluff suddenly grew on top of the meat ball.

Not only that, but vaguely, he seemed to also see facial features like a nose and ears.

Then, the meat ball sprouted arms and legs, grabbed the wings of two pheasants, and gently pulled them——

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Seeing the meatballs scrambling to bite and eat the pheasant, with terrifying chewing sounds constantly coming from his mouth, Xiaolong took a breath of cold air: "Fuck...this thing is a human being."

A monster formed from the fusion of wreckage!”

"This thing seems to be a mixture of villagers, soldiers and animal carcasses who died in the forest." Lin Qing said in a low voice.

"squeaky"

The piece of meat chewed the iron piece, like a wild eating beast. Even though the teeth in its mouth were knocked off, its lips and tongue were scratched, and blood flowed all over the floor, the piece of meat still seemed to be unaware of the pain and kept feeding things.

In the entrance.

In the wooden house, everyone clung to the wall, and no one dared to make a sound. In the silent forest, the terrifying chewing sound of the meat continued. After swallowing the last piece of iron, the meat squirmed.

He held his throat and uttered a few strange syllables.

The surrounding meatballs continued to gather, gradually forming a red sea.

The strong smell of blood instantly filled the air, and no one knew where these monsters came from. At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely serious. Now everyone is incapable, and the attack mode of the monster is still unclear.

In the past, taking action rashly would only lead to losses.

What's even more serious is that judging from the number of monsters on all sides, they are now like turtles in a urn. If they want to break out, the casualties will probably be very serious.

"We have to think of a way... How about throwing a few Molotov cocktails to drive away the monsters? Maybe these things are afraid of fire." Wei Chongming pointed to a few barrels of gasoline on the table not far away. This was the room they were searching just now.

valuable materials found.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Sicheng and Hubert also agreed. Just when the three of them were about to make a few Molotov cocktails, Ling Yun suddenly stopped them.

"I guess it won't be so troublesome."

After observing for a moment, Ling Yun withdrew his gaze and said to everyone: "Have you noticed that the piece of meat is almost immune to all physical attacks and is very sensitive to sound. It moves very quickly. It is supposed to be able to kill Fatty and Xiaolong just now. But since then

From just now until now, they have no intention of moving closer."

"Yeah... although we both ran pretty fast, we were far behind that guy. It's true what you said. As soon as we ran back, he stopped chasing us." Zhao Sicheng stopped what he was doing.

.

"I discovered just now that in order to pick you up, Fatty, Brother Ling opened the door specially. The moment he opened the door, the blood tide in the forest actually dissipated a little." Tang Yao thought carefully and reacted immediately:

"It's a gas stove!"

Being reminded by her, Zhao Sicheng suddenly remembered Su Li's words before: "I understand, these things don't dare to approach the shelter. They should be [those things] mentioned in the manual."

On the other side, Su Li walked to the gas stove, looked at the white steam that was constantly coming out, and said calmly: "This is the role of protective substances."

The burning of the gas stove caused the entire wooden house to be covered with protective substances, and the surrounding five-meter radius was filled with a similar smell. And this smell was the nemesis of the blood tide.

As for the material burning in the gas stove, Ren Yao and Lin Qing have analyzed it before, and it seems to come from some kind of wood in the forest that has been mutated by poisonous mushrooms.

"After nightfall, these horrific corpses will appear in the forest, so almost all the troops who entered the forest before were spared. I think it was some accidental situation, and someone discovered that the special smell produced by lighting these woods can drive away the blood tide.

.”

Shen Tinglan looked at the room and continued: "The tunnel into the forest is already narrow, and with the dangers at night, it is not convenient to rebuild and establish a stronghold. Therefore, the later troops could only install gas stoves in the dilapidated homes of the original villagers.

Used as a temporary shelter.”

"Okay, as long as those sarcomas can't get in. It's a pity that we lost two pheasants. Originally, I wanted to eat roasted chicken legs." After observing for a while and making sure that the blood tide was not approaching, Zhao Sicheng felt relieved.

Zhao Sicheng found a blanket from his bag and put it on his shoulders. Zhao Sicheng leaned against the wall with his legs crossed and rubbed his growling stomach: "There is no other way but to sleep. If you fall asleep, you won't feel hungry. .”

But then, Shen Tinglan's words made him fall into despair again: "No one is allowed to sleep tonight, everyone must stay awake and vigil."

"No, there are so many people here..." Zhao Sicheng was about to complain, but the next second, he was covered by Ling Yun beside him.

"Shhh - did you hear that there seems to be a woman crying outside?"
