1180 The Creatures in Each Area (1/2)
Reading the report that Shen Yujen brought to him, Lin Feng had his heart sinking deeper and deeper.
Earlier, Lin Wenwen and some others went to Lake Tai area to collect the mysterious stones. A good number of strange creatures had come out of the lake, and the squad that Lin Qiao sent back to that area to collect more stones had disappeared. Recently, some Sea City Base hungers found those creatures and brought the news back to their base. At the same time. the other bases each found some strange creatures from the underground.
The report that Lin Feng was reading now was about what those creatures looked like.
The creatures that came out from Lake Tai looked like both crocodiles and lizards while the northeast people found giant ants with two bellies and two-meters tall giant spiders. Meanwhile in northern China, people found huge scorpions that each had six giant pincers. In the southwest, Hidden Cloud City people found some four-meter-tall, ten-meter-long creatures covered in carapaces. So far, about ten of them were found. Those creatures liked eating humans! They could smell human beings from hundreds of meters away. They charged at the people they smelt and grabbed or stomped them to death. After that, they put the people on a giant rock, smashed their heads with claws, and ate them bit by bit. Those creatures' way of feeding was very bloody and scary.
It was said that a few people who witnessed that were still suffering mental collapse.
Some said that an invisible type of creature had shown up near Sky Fire Base. Those creatures didn't only eat people, but also mutated beasts.
”What the hell are those things? How come they came out at the same time?” Lin Feng agitatedly put the report on the desk and rubbed his temples as he sighed.
Did that mean that the whole country had fallen under the threat of underground creatures?
”Why is there no news from Huaxia Base? Didn't they find anything?” Lin Feng didn't read anything about Huaxia Base from the report.
Shen Yujen and Chen Yuting glanced at each other. ”Huaxia Base has itself sealed off strictly these days. We need some more time to get the news about them,” said Shen Yujen.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, ”Does Wu Chengyue know about this yet?”
”I'm not sure,” Shen Yujen shook her head and said, ”I guess he already knows.”
Lin Feng furrowed his brows as he put his elbows on the desk and rested his forehead on his fingers.
Underground creatures were seen near many bases. However, those creatures wouldn't cause any huge problem, unless they were provoked. The space of survival of humans did shrink because of those creatures. If the situation stayed like that, the hunters would have smaller and smaller chances of returning safely to their bases in the future.
Humans couldn't be stuck in their bases forever.
Lin Feng felt hard to breathe, as if he were carrying a mountain. His little sister had gone missing, and the other Deputy Chief of the base was injured beyond cure. The outside world had become more dangerous than before, and his other sister—the leader of the base—hadn't come home yet.
Thankfully, nothing else was happening in the base. The people were living a safe life while the zombie army and the farm were kept secret.
