This giant's body was charred and black, as if it had crawled out of the flames. There were hideous burn marks all over its body. Its limbs were long and slender, and it could reach a height of six or seven meters when crawling on the ground, which was nearly two stories high.
run!
Xu Shen's pupils shrank, and the moment he saw this thing, he turned around and ran away.
Not only Xu Shen, but Mu Xue, Chu Bai and others also turned pale and ran away in panic, ignoring the shooting outside.
Boom!
In front of this huge elk-like ancient corpse, everyone was like ants in a panic. Only a petite figure was still walking leisurely with her hands behind her back, slowly following behind Xu Shen.
"Run!"
Uncle Wang and Liu Jichuan's figures passed Xu Shen and others in an instant, and rushed forward along the railway track.
Bang!
A bullet came over and hit Xu Shen's shoulder.
The bone-chilling pain and the ancient roar behind him made Xu Shen feel a strong threat to his life. He didn't care about chasing the director and Uncle Wang, and rushed out of the railway tracks.
Mu Xue and Chu Bai were also forced to separate during the pursuit to avoid attracting too many targets and attracting the burnt ancient corpse.
As they sprinted at full speed, the ancient corpse rushed into the battlefield near the cabin like a giant beast. Wei Gong's men and others who were lurking outside suddenly saw this terrifying thing, and they all turned around and fled in fear.
But they were not at the limit of their initial state. Their escape speed was incomparable to Xu Shen and others. Their numbers were so large that they quickly attracted the attention of the ancient corpses.
Screams sounded one after another.
The ancient corpse looked like an elk gnawing grass, with slender arms extending from its chest. It picked up the people on the ground and stuffed them into its mouth, biting and chewing them during their struggle.
Thick fog filled the air. Xu Shen ran forward for a long time before slowly slowing down. Looking around, there was only thick fog left.
There are still some charred trees on this plain, and occasionally you can see small pools, but the pools are gurgling, as if something is breathing underneath.
Xu Shen did not dare to approach these strange places. He stopped and looked back, but the charred ancient corpse did not seem to be chasing him.
But he didn't dare to go back.
Xu Shen recalled the direction. Although he was a little panicked before, he remembered that it was the direction he came from.
In other words, the railroad track is on your left hand side, and you can find it by walking sideways.
If he finds the railway track, Xu Shen will have the confidence to return to the wall.
He took a deep breath and walked to the left.
In the thick fog, the visibility was only about 10 meters. As Xu Shen walked, he saw a vague and twisted figure standing in the thick fog, vaguely humanoid.
When you get closer, you can see that it is the wandering "shell".
Xu Shen was not sure whether the ancient corpse was in reality or in the ruins world, but he still chose to avoid it.
The ancient corpse stood quietly, seemingly unaware of the depth.
Xu Shen walked all the way, bypassing the ancient corpses along the way. After a long time, Xu Shen slowly stopped. He still didn't see the railway track, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had walked through it.
Or is the direction wrong?
It's easy to get lost in dense fog.
And getting lost outside this wall means death.
Xu Shen's face looked a little ugly.
He could only keep moving forward without daring to stop. While his strength was still there, if he really made a mistake, he would still have time to turn back.
While walking, Xu Shen suddenly saw a blur of light in the thick fog ahead, like a street lamp at a height of more than ten meters.
But the street lights would never be at such a height... Xu Shen couldn't help but think of some terrifying things in his mind, such as the luminous tissue on the ancient corpse, eyeballs, etc.
His face became ugly, and he stopped and watched for a long time. When he saw that the light was motionless, he relaxed a little and couldn't hold back his curiosity and slowly approached it.
Under the light was a towering black shadow. The surrounding fog was obviously much thinner. It could be seen clearly from more than thirty meters away. This light was clearly a big light!
Under the lamp is a lighthouse!
Xu Shen was a little shocked. There was actually a lighthouse in the thick fog outside the wall?
And it’s still supplying energy?!
There is no movement in the lonely lighthouse, and the black iron door under the tower is locked.
Xu Shen was a little hesitant. Although he didn't know why there was a lighthouse here, there might be someone inside.
He bravely stepped forward to take a look, came to the iron door under the lighthouse and knocked: "Is there anyone there?"
The wind was whining and blowing, but the mist did not disperse. Xu Shen waited for a moment and then knocked harder. At the same time, he looked around, fearing that the ancient corpse would be disturbed.
"Is anyone there?"
There was no response in the lighthouse.
Just when Xu Shen was considering whether to leave this strange place, the iron door suddenly opened with a creak.
A ferocious head stuck out from inside.
Xu Shen almost suffered cardiac arrest.
"Lost person?" the ferocious head said.
Xu Shen almost lifted his feet, but restrained the urge to run away. He realized that this was just an extremely ugly person, not a monster.
He looked very old, with gray hair and a stooped back.
"You can actually see the lighthouse..." The ugly-faced old man looked at Xu Shen. He seemed to have not washed himself for a long time, his hair was tangled, and his face was covered with old spots and dirt.
"Old man, you... are good."
Xu Shen originally wanted to ask you if you were a human being, but he was afraid that if you asked someone so offendingly, you would really not be a human being anymore.
"It seems it was an accidental collision..."
The old man seemed to have seen through a lot of things, his eyes were indifferent: "This is not the place where you should come in your first state. Go back quickly. I remember that the world outside the wall is blocked, and you can actually sneak out. Are you here to explore and hunt for treasure?
It's a pity that there are no treasures here, only endless dangers."
"Old man, do you know how to get back?"
Xu Shen asked quickly.
"Which city are you from?" the old man asked.
"Termite City." Xu Shen said honestly.
The old man's expression changed slightly and he said in a low voice: "Is the queen ant okay now?"
"Queen Ant?"
Xu Shen was stunned.
The old man came back to his senses, shook his head, and pointed to Xu Shen: "In that direction, you can just go straight."
Xu Shen looked in the direction of his finger and remembered the direction. He hesitated and said, "Old man, when I left the city, I followed a railway track. Do you know where the railway track is? I just looked along the road and couldn't find it.
."
"rail?"
The old man couldn't help but smile, showing two sparse yellow teeth: "That was in reality. Of course you can't see it here now."
"...?"
Xu Shen was a little confused and said in astonishment: "Am I not in reality now?"
"Have you not noticed that you have stepped into the deep ruins world, and it is the third level..." The old man looked at Xu Shen strangely, and suddenly he seemed to have transformed into a cunning monster, with a hint of danger in his eyes.
.
"The third floor..."
Xu Shen's blood seemed to be coagulated, and he looked at the old man in shock: "How is that possible?"
"It is difficult to see the reality on the third level of the ruins. It will be covered by the second level of ruins in the middle..." The old man smiled lowly: "Don't you know before you came out of the wall that in the world outside the wall, the ruins
Is the world in chaos? You may step into another world at any time, or even enter a deeper place, and you will never be able to come back..."
Xu Shen's face was ugly. Although he knew there was danger outside the wall, he didn't expect it to be so dangerous.
Does Director Liu Jichuan know this?
Xu Shen thought of the punctured money box and the white paper and dust scattered inside. With the director's caution...if he knew about it, he probably wouldn't trade outside the wall, right?
Or at least know how to identify them.
But Xu Shen didn't hear the director mention this matter on the way, which shows that he didn't know this either.
"Thank you, senior, for informing me." Xu Shen quickly thanked him. Although the old man looked ferocious, he didn't feel bad about him. He asked, "Senior, how do I return to reality now?"
"Just go out and find the right exit..." the old man said, looking at Xu Shen, obviously feeling that it would be difficult for this junior to find the right exit. He shook his head and suddenly took out a
The object like a pocket watch was handed to Xu Shen with a dry claw-like palm.
"Wearing this thing can help your body sink and return to reality."
Xu Shen took the pocket watch and saw that it was not a rotating clock inside, but a black vortex that was constantly rotating.
Xu Shen was surprised by such a strange and extraordinary thing.
"If you can meet the queen ant, tell me that my old friend is still here..." The old man gave a deep look.
Xu Shen was stunned and asked in confusion: "Senior, who is the queen ant you are talking about?"
"The man in charge of Termite City."
Xu Shen suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, "If I have a chance to meet you, I will definitely bring him to you."
"Let's go, something else will pass by here at any time. If it notices you, you won't be able to run away." The old man said, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said: "Before leaving, do you want to come in and sit down?"
Xu Shen glanced at the slightly cracked door. It was pitch black inside, but he could vaguely see something fishing in the tower, which looked like a humanoid.
