Two slender tentacles supported the survivors' backs and lifted them into the air. If you look closely, the tentacles penetrate the skin and are connected to the spine, and every nerve is manipulated-this is why they can wave.

When he was lifted up by the tentacles, one of the man's shoes fell off, exposing his swollen and blue foot.

The two were dead long ago and became puppets of the tentacles.

The two corpses were hung in the air, and their movements were still alive. The man looked around eagerly, and the woman raised her hands and waved them like real people calling for help. There are tumor-like protrusions on the tentacles, which are covered with feathers. At this time, the protrusions split to reveal the mouthparts.

The mouthparts opened and closed, and shouted in a male voice: "Where are you going, why don't you leave us?"

Then it screamed in a female voice: "Don't leave us! Please, save us! I have a baby at home!"

Lu Bafang was terrified.

Without the tentacles, he wouldn't be able to tell if it was a real person. If he dies here, he will also become a puppet, controlled by the tentacles to attract the next group of people.

Fortunately, maybe their movement was too small, the tentacles didn't notice them, but a few of them chased the convoy. The convoy drove away completely, and there was almost no gunfire, only the screams of the tentacles imitating humans, and the sound of breaking the wind when they twisted.

This sudden silence did not relieve the tension. Lu Bafang's palms were sweating, and when he turned his head, he saw that Shi Yuan was also staring at the tentacles intently.

His demeanor was calm.

Just like the calmness when reaching out to the queen bee, even the curiosity in the eyes is neither sad nor happy.

At this moment, Lu Bafang felt strange in his heart.

It seems that Shi Yuan and the monster are on the same side.

This feeling is fleeting. He clenched his pistol/gun in one hand, took out his mobile phone and typed in the other hand, and handed it to Shi Yuan to see: [They will contact the city, the city is not far away, and support will arrive soon]

After thinking for a while, he added another sentence: [Don't be afraid, I have already sent our coordinates, they will come back]

In fact, Lu Bafang didn't know if someone would come to rescue them.

From a humanitarian point of view, no one should be given up; but the reality is often cruel. There are only two of them, spending a lot of manpower and financial resources for two people, and returning to the territory of high-risk infectious agents is definitely a loss-making business. Command Center will not approve.

If the reinforcements really came, there could only be one reason: this place is too close to the city, and the command center believes that the infected creatures should be eradicated immediately to avoid threatening the city.

But it is impossible for Lu Bafang to tell Shi Yuan like this.

Shi Yuan read what he typed, nodded silently, and retracted his head.
