Chapter 629 - The Place Where Dead People Go (1/2)
This was a big chaotic fight that no one could understand.
There was no team formation, no alliance, only blatant brutal killing between the floating monsters. When a floating monster just killed its defeated opponent and began to swallow it, it was instantly killed by other monsters from behind.
Chaotic, disorder, thoroughly b.l.o.o.d.y.
“Are they all crazy?” The skinny man gasped in shock.
But when he saw the corner of the fat man’s mouth twitched, seemingly knowing something, he asked strangely, “what? You know what’s going on?”
The fat man nodded and then quickly shook his head again.
Seeing the fat man acting like this, a fit of anger surged up into the skinny man’s head. Kicking the fat man’s b.u.t.tocks, the skinny man scolded, “if you got anything to say, say it now, don’t f.u.c.king hide it.”
The fat man rubbed his b.u.t.tocks and said with hesitation, “it is just a guess.”
“Say it!”
This time it was Chu Yunsheng who spoke. However, probably because Chu Yunsheng had kicked him earlier. Hearing what he asked, the fat man moved back two steps and looked at him vigilantly.
“Say it now, or I will kick you!” the skinny man gritted his teeth and lifted his leg as if he really wanted to kick the fat man.
The fat man quickly waved his hands, “okay, okay, I will say it. I have seen a video on CCTV’s Science Channel, and in the video, it said that when the density of a biological population is increasing, and when it exceeds a limit or a critical point, in order to compete for food and territory or other living conditions, they often use the method of cannibalism to reduce density and redistribute resources. The animals such as voles, once they reach the upper limit of density, they will collectively lose their mind and feed on each other, and we humans are the same, after every major big war, all the resources would be redistributed.
So I guess that without any natural enemies, and with the fast reproduction speed, the floating monsters that landed here with the ‘waterdrop’ from the hole in the sky, has probably reached that limit now.”
Seeing the skinny man and Chu Yunsheng were both listening to him carefully, the fatty man added with hesitation, “it is just a guess, I don’t know if it is what we are seeing now.”
The skinny man looked at the sky, swallowed, and said, “I hope it is true, and I hope they all die fighting each other.”
“Feed on each other… Intra-species struggle?” Chu Yunsheng frowned and also looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y battle in the sky.
Gradually, Chu Yunsheng started to notice that one floating monster started to glow a faint blue light.
And as the battle continued, and with more and more floating monsters the glowing floating master ate, the blue light inside it became brighter and brighter.
Chu Yunsheng suddenly remembered the time when he became a “fish” at the bottom of the underground lake. This was exactly like that. He frowned and said sternly, “no, it is not intra-species struggle. They are using this to evolve.”
The fat man was dazed for a moment, followed Chu Yunsheng’s eyes, found the floating monster that Chu Yunsheng discovered, and said straightly, “Yes, yes, look at that one, it’s getting more and more powerful!”
Thinking about the Nuptial flight he saw earlier, and now with this scene, a bad feeling began to emerge in Chu Yunsheng’s mind. His instinct told him that this was the first time that those monsters were evolving on a ma.s.sive scale, and once they completed the evolution, they would be in danger, “I have a bad feeling about this, we need to leave this place as soon as possible!”
“But how can we leave here?” The skinny man was speechless. If he had known how to leave this place, he would have already done it.
“Train!”
Chu Yunsheng mentioned the reason why he came to the station again. If they could not even use a train to get out of here, then he really didn’t know how to escape from here.
The skinny man immediately shook his head, “I told you already, the train is broken, even if you can drive it, you still can’t use it to escape from here!”
Chu Yunsheng’s eyes instantly emitted cold gleams, “it is broken? If it is broken, how do you know that you can’t escape here with it? You must have tried it! Fatty you say it!”
Being suddenly called out by Chu Yunsheng, the fat man was startled and then looked at the skinny man for help.
Before the skinny man even answered, Chu Yunsheng pulled him away and said, “you shut up! Fatty, say it, is the train broken or not?”
The fat man still looked at the skinny man under Chu Yunsheng’s threatening eyes. This time, even if he was not going to say it, from his reaction, Chu Yunsheng knew that the train wasn’t broken. Otherwise, why was he hesitating?
Seeing that he couldn’t hide it anymore, the skinny man finally said honestly, “it is working, and there is a train driver that is still alive, but it is useless to drive it because it will probably kill everyone.”
Chu Yunsheng’s eyes instantly became cold, “have you driven the train into the edge of the city before? Tell me what happened.”
As if the skinny man remembered something extremely scary, a panic and terrified expression appeared in his eyes all of sudden, then his body and even his voice also started to shake, “that is a very scary place. It’s a place where the dead people go, we can’t go there.”
Chu Yunsheng carefully observed the look of the fat man, he was also scared. Obviously, both of them had been there, and they had gone very deep into the edge.
The place where the dead people went, and the ghost fire that the comrade of Luo Dalian said seemed to be very similar. It was not that Chu Yunsheng was suddenly interested in this. On the contrary, he was always vigilant toward the unknown. If that was the place that he didn’t have to go, he would definitely not go there. However, if that was the only way to get out of this place, then he would have to try it.
Moreover, so far, he has only heard people say that Nanjing was surrounded by a giant waterdrop, and there was no way to pa.s.s through the edge of the city, but he has never tried it himself. Hearing was not as good as seeing. He wanted to check it himself before he decided what to do next.
“Let’s go back to the waiting hall first, and tell me in detail about it,” Chu Yunsheng said resolutely.
The slaughter of the floating monsters above the head was still ongoing, and there was a sign of expanding. Looking at the current situation, maybe all the floating monsters in the city would be involved in this kind of “evolution”.
Now he should seize this precious opportunity and act quickly.
……..
In the waiting hall of the train station, Chu Yunsheng finally knew that the skinny man’s name was Feng Yingxi and he was not from Nanjing city.
When he just graduated from secondary school, he went to study how to repair automobiles in a technical college for several years. Then he brought his family to live in Nanjing city. As someone, who was not from the local area and married at an early age, life was quite tough for him.
But he was also ambitious. He tried his best to do everything. After a few years of working for other people, he finally started his own small auto repair shop.
