MTL - My Weird Life-Chapter 12 Infected lantern

   Chapter 12 The Lantern of Contagion

   Blood smears the entire screen.

   A red eye has grown from the screen!

   eyes fixed on Su Wu, the voice of 'Huang Zhicheng' came from the phone speaker: "I see you!"

   "I see you!"

  Su Wu felt a shock in his heart, and threw the phone all the way.

   The phone hit the brick wall and landed in the corner, splashing a cloud of dust.

  The screen was still lit, but the blood stains on the screen disappeared suddenly, and there was no trace.

   With his palms on the ground, Su Wu got up from the ground and walked to the corner to look at his phone.

   Except for the bumps on the corners, the phone was not damaged, and the group chat interface was displayed on the screen. The last group chat record in the 'work group' was sent by 'Huang Zhicheng': "I see you!"

"That's it?"

   He frowned, picked up his phone again, clicked into the personal settings interface of the work group, and left the group directly.

  I waited quietly in the small temple for a few minutes with my mobile phone.

  The phone is not abnormal.

  I was not drawn into the work group again.

   "It seems that this kind of weirdness was spread through the social account of 'Huang Zhicheng', or the work group, and it should have nothing to do with the phone itself.

   However, 'Huang Zhicheng' said just now that he saw me, so will he regard me as a target?

  If you catch me, can you drag me back to continue working overtime?

   And, 'Huang Zhicheng' just made harsh words in the group, but did not come out and take me away on the spot. Is it because the small temple itself avoided or blocked its arrest of me? "

  Thinking of this, Su Wu was a little angry.

   has come to this point, the **** thing still wants to squeeze itself!

  ‘Grumble…’

   There was a sound from Su Wu's abdomen.

   He touched his stomach and felt that his hunger was rapidly increasing.

   When he was reading various information just now, he already felt a little hungry. He didn't expect that in just ten minutes, he couldn't bear this hunger.

   Didn't your future self have dinner?

   Hungry too fast.

   But this also reminded myself to prepare some necessities in advance and find a place to store them near this small temple.

   When you really start escaping from reality, you can save a lot of trouble. Moreover, reducing the frequency of going out can effectively reduce the probability of Lantern Strange killing you.

  Su Wu left his mobile phone in the small temple, dragged the ghost hand under his right armpit, and walked out of the small temple.

   At this time, the red lanterns in the sky have just disappeared, and it is the time when the streets are flashing with neon lights.

   As soon as he got out of the small temple, he directly locked onto a small non-staple food shop tens of meters away, and ran over with strides.

   Hunger burns like a fire in his stomach.

   It was only five or six steps away that Su Wu felt weak in his limbs and his heart was pounding.

   It seems that every step just now, even the moment of standing in the temple, has caused a huge consumption of the energy accumulated in his body!

How could this be?

   is very wrong!

  Su Wu slowed down, the first thing that came to his mind was the weird ghost of the 'Huang Zhicheng' work group.

   But he immediately rejected the guess.

   Hunger has continued to increase, and the hunger has begun to become prominent before turning on the phone.

   Then, the culprit responsible for the rapid consumption of one's own energy should be this ghost hand under the armpit!

   It brings too many disadvantages!

   So far, Su Wu has not found any positive value in it.

  Fortunately, this is in a simulated future, and you can come back if you die.

   If it were in reality, he would definitely be dragged to death by the ghost hand, then death would be a one-off.

   The distance of 70 to 80 meters made Su Wuzhi feel like running a mountain cross-country marathon.

   And it is a marathon when the energy is about to run out and there is no food supply.

  Because he was afraid of the appearance of the lantern, Su Wu tried his best to maintain the speed.

   When he ran to the front of the small non-staple food store, he almost used up all the energy in his body, knelt down in front of the freezer at the door of the store, took a few breaths, and then managed to stand up and enter the store.

The    electronic voice also faintly sounded at this time: "You have realized the temporary talent: endure hunger (white)."

   "Hunger tolerance (white): You are the type of ordinary people who can tolerate hunger. When you are very hungry, you can maintain 40% of your mobility compared to your normal state."

  Su Wu didn't have time to pay attention to the prompt sound in his ear, and turned to look at the non-staple food shop in front of him.

   This non-staple food shop is in an aisle.

   Diagonally opposite is a nail salon with lights on but no one can be seen.

  The store is very small, with only a row of glass counters in the front and a row of shelves with small food in the back.

  Between the counter and the shelf, there is an aisle that only one person can pass through.

   Usually, the shopkeeper should be standing in the aisle. If the customer wants something, he will turn around and help him.

   At this time, the owner of this small shop was not there, I don’t know where he went.

   may have died somewhere.

"is the boss around?"

"anyone there?"

   While shouting at the door, Su Wu walked into the store to pick up various snacks such as biscuits and milk.

   He did not expect anyone to respond to him.

   But at this moment, there was a thump, thump, thump from the small dark door at the end of the passage, as if someone heard Su Wu's shout and slammed the door in response to him.

   "Someone?"

   He looked at the dark door at the end, approached it slowly, and asked, "Are you inside?"

   The sound of the crash from the door became stronger and stronger, but he did not respond to Su Wu without making a sound.

   Finally, Su Wu stopped at the door, he grabbed the handle with one hand, and said, "If you don't make a sound, I'll open the door."

   There may be no one in there, only a puppy and a kitten,

   Maybe there are no pets, but a strange deliberately tempting Su Wu to open the door.

   But he opened the door immediately, which was equivalent to wading through the mine in advance.

  Wander through all the mines in the simulation, and you can avoid many dangers in reality.

  bang bang bang!

   The sound of the crash became more urgent, as if someone was nodding constantly, reminding Su Wu: "Quick, open the door!"

  Su Wu no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, turned the handle and opened the door directly!

   He was against the shelf, and was blocked by the opened door, leaving only the part below the ankle exposed.

  Plop!

   As if someone was sticking to the door, the door was suddenly pulled open, and he fell to the ground with his head forward.

   The half of the man's body was pressed down on Su Wu's feet.

  Su Wu could clearly feel the bones and flesh of the person pressing on his feet. He tried to move the soles of his feet to remind the person that he was pressing on him and let him get up quickly.

   But the man didn't move.

died?

   Thoughts flashed through his mind.

   Hearing the sound of something spinning in the air, Su Wu instantly thought of something, and a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead.

   He gritted his teeth and kept himself blocked by the door, staying in this triangular area without making a sound.

  Bone Lulululululu —

   The sound of rolling objects outside suddenly ran over the door.

  Su Wu raised his head,

   Seeing the head of a middle-aged man on top of his head, he looked at him in fear. The head had auxiliary eyes on the bridge of his nose and was slightly fat. His lips moved: "Help me, help—"

   Before he finished speaking, the head turned into a crimson blood lantern.

  Su Wu's head flew up,

  Two lanterns slid out of the aisle and rose high into the sky.

   In the small grocery store, Su Wu's headless corpse let go, the small door swung freely, and the corpse fell forward, pressing on another headless corpse.

   "The blood lanterns in the sky are transformed from the heads of living people!"

   "Those heads will think they are not dead, keep the will to survive, and ask the living for help!"

   "And the moment they see a living person, the heads of the living people they see, together with themselves, will instantly turn into blood lanterns!"

   Thoughts flashed frequently, and Su Wu's eyes fell into complete darkness.
