If I just went up to kiss him like this, he might be scared shitless, right?
A thought flashed through Ya Baishuang's mind: once this monstrous face fully occupies my head, my body probably won't belong to anymore, right?
Ya Baishuang lowered her head, her vision stained a bloody red. Monstrous faces began to appear on the inside of her arms and abdon... For a mont, she had an illusion that these monstrous faces were like fetuses nurturing inside her, except these "fetuses" had expressions that were too ferocious, as if being strangled by umbilical cords.
"If only the amniotic fluid could drown the fetuses," Ya Baishuang mused.
She gripped the dagger in her hand tightly. The synchronization rate between the supernatural weapon and the suitable operators was plumting as her body was being overtaken by monstrous faces. It wouldn't be long before she couldn't handle these old companions she had used for many years.
The monstrous faces sweeping past her seed to ignore Ya Baishuang... which was normal. Soon enough, Ya Baishuang's body would be completely occupied by the monstrous faces appearing on her, becoming one of them.
Just as Mr. Xu said, she's out of ti and unsalvageable.
Ya Baishuang smiled brilliantly, right eyeball falling from its socket.
She was completely blind, her consciousness beginning to blur.
But her voice hadn't gone hoarse yet.
"I'm definitely dead," she said with a smile, "but you guys... don't think you'll live!"
She plunged both daggers she held into her own body. The next second, her body exploded, dyeing half of the carrier bay red.
The outside rain quickly spread in, the thick blood diluting in the water, turning into a pale red hue that spread out.
A twisted face erged on the water's surface.
A face identical to Ya Baishuang's.
This face twitched a few tis, a hint of confusion seed to flash across it, but soon, this confusion was suppressed by madness and pain.
It quickly rged with other monstrous faces, becoming unrecognizable.
...
...
Three kiloters from Bunker No. 1.
An amphibious motorcycle raced madly on the muddy ground, mud continuously flung by wheels and tracks, mixed with rain, splattering onto the two riders.
Due to the urgency, neither had ti to fully suit up, just hurriedly draping a waterproof cloak over themselves, the bone-chilling cold and lethal radiation constantly gnawing at their bodies, keeping them going by sheer willpower.
"Can... can we contact the others at the bunker...?" Wang Zheng's teeth chattered, almost lying flat over the handlebars, "Could it be... we're the only ones... who escaped..."
"No contact," Mr. Xu curled up in the backseat, shivering uncontrollably, "The interference is too severe..."
"Support... support should arrive soon, right?" Wang Zheng's weak tone sounded more like a whimper, "I feel... I'm about to... about to freeze to death..."
His arms and legs were numb from the cold... but thanks to the numbness, otherwise, Wang Zheng would have been horrified to discover his skin was festering and peeling, the cold masking the piercing pain, and numbing his inner fear.
"Support will co... hang in there..." Mr. Xu said.
He felt like he wasn't comforting Wang Zheng, but comforting himself.
"Mr... Mr. Xu... why do I feel like I can't see... what's going on... am I going blind?" Wang Zheng suddenly said, "And... and why is my voice so hoarse? Is it... because of the cold? I... I'm going to die, aren't I?"
Hypothermia is terrifying, especially now in Shuzhou, without proper cold protection, you'd freeze to death in an hour... let alone riding a motorcycle in the icy, stinging dirty rain.
But Mr. Xu felt that alongside hypothermia, sothing more terrifying seed to be waiting for them.
Could it be radiation?
Mr. Xu touched his belt, it was empty.
There was supposed to be a mini Geiger counter there, but it was lost during the escape, Mr. Xu didn't know if it was dropped in the bunker or on the road.
"No! Mr. Xu, I really can't see! Can you drive?" Wang Zheng suddenly jerked the brakes, under the force of inertia, Mr. Xu collided with the front of the carriage... yet he didn't feel much pain, the cold had dulled all his senses, he even wondered if he could cut off his finger without feeling much pain.
"Okay... I'll take over." Mr. Xu struggled to stand, but as he turned his head, he was stunned.
Chira 17, originally dozens of kiloters away from Bunker No. 1, stood less than a hundred ters away from them.
Wang Zheng... had gone the wrong way!
At this close distance, Mr. Xu could feel the pressure from the monstrous faces on Chira 17—what appeared as small lumps from the bunker were in fact monstrous faces with diaters exceeding thirty ters, and at a distance of less than a hundred ters, these faces seed like massive gods, peering down at tiny humans below.
"Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu, are you still there?" Wang Zheng stumbled off the motorcycle, clinging to the crash bars on either side to avoid being swept away by the rushing rainwater, "Mr. Xu, are you there? I can't see you!"
"Stay quiet!" Mr. Xu whispered angrily.
Wang Zheng shivered, his entire body freezing still.
He whispered, "Those monstrous faces, they've caught up?"
"It's not that they caught up... it's us..." Mr. Xu wasn't sure if he should bitterly smile, "We went the wrong way... we've ended up right next to Chira 17... We're now less than a hundred ters away from that giant we've been watching every day."
"What... what did you say?" Wang Zheng was dumbfounded.
"I'm not lying," Mr. Xu said, "Damn, this is the first ti I've observed this thing so close... Isn't it said that Chira 17 has a self-defense system? We actually managed to get this close, ha... doesn't that make us more capable than the Hunters?"
"Mr. Xu... it's all my fault... I led us here." Wang Zheng murmured, "Leave here, I'll be the bait to distract it, you run... run!"
"It's no use... we're out of ti." Mr. Xu shook his head, "We've both been severely irradiated, even if we make it to the rear, we don't have much ti left."
"Damn it, damn it, fuck!" At a loss for words, all Wang Zheng could do was curse.
"However, there's one more thing we can do before we die." Mr. Xu suddenly said.
"What is it?"
"I rember this motorcycle's trunk is packed with explosives." Mr. Xu grinned, completely ignoring the filthy rain mixed with radioactive dust dripping into his mouth, "Since we've co so close to this big guy, wouldn't it be rude not to give it a welcoming gift?"
"You're... you're thinking of blowing it up? But... will it work?"
"No, if it did, they would have dropped a nuclear bomb long ago... but instead of sitting here waiting to die, I prefer making a big noise when I go."
