This peculiar flesh, it possessed an extraordinary self-healing ability.
So, if they wanted to dig out passages or exits here, it definitely wouldn’t work.
Shen MO took a knife and poked it in a few places, roughly determining the direction of the main artery, leading everyone to continue moving forward.
What was troublesome were those little skinning creatures, from time to time a bunch would show up, not only attacking humans, but also gnawing on the chunks of flesh until they were rotten and pus-filled, blocking vessels, thereby affecting Shen Mo’s judgment of the main artery’s direction.
Their group had barely dealt with one wave when they turned a corner and discovered a new wave of monsters.
—At the bus stop by the roadside, there were at least thirty skinning monsters, red all over, engrossed in wildly gnawing at billboards, benches, and advertising boards, which had all turned into chunks of flesh. They were indeed enjoying themselves!
Tan Xiao’s palms were sweaty as he tightened his grip on his baseball bat, ready to strike again.
His teacher’s forehead was covered in sweat as he held his walking stick in front of him.
Shen MO stood at the front, casting a glance at his companions…
If they continued to fight , when would it ever end?
His gaze fell back on the monsters, their flesh red like fresh meat, massive slippery heads, frail thin limbs, densely packed teeth…
They weren’t without weaknesses. These monsters looked frightful, but their heads would burst with a single hit, their limbs would shatter when stepped on, their physical attack power wasn’t much, but their growing numbers were becoming an issue.
In an environment without food and water, they could not afford to waste their energy meaninglessly.
Shen MO took a step back.
The people behind him also retreated back around the corner.
In a low voice he explained, “These creatures don’t have eyes, they don’t have ears. They might be using the slight vibrations on the surface of the flesh membrane to locate us. We can try to lead them away…”
Everyone nodded in agreement, finding his strategy reasonable, when suddenly a tremor passed beneath their feet!
A very subtle shaking.
Like some large creature dragging itself along the ground.
Everyone’s heart tightened as they quickly turned around. At the end of the street, appeared a gigantic “snake”, rapidly sliding its way towards them!
Everyone’s face changed!
Calling it a “snake” was somewhat inaccurate, it looked more like a gigantic maggot! Eyeless, earless, its head ringed with teeth, its massive body nearly occupying the entire road!
Shen MO didn’t have time to think, he picked up Bai Youwei and ducked into a shop by the road.
The rest of the people also hurriedly ran inside.
Not more than a few seconds had passed when the giant maggot crawled past their hiding place, rolling over Bai Youwei’s wheelchair left by the roadside, and continued slithering forward!
Shen Mo’s eyebrows furrowed, he suddenly put down Bai Youwei, and quickly ran out!
In that instant, Bai Youwei felt like she was suddenly sitting inside a pile of flesh, her body shuddering uncontrollably and her face turned deathly pale!
Shen MO had already run out of sight.
He chased after the fat maggot, witnessing the giant maggot swallow up the skinning monsters around the bus stop one by one. It crawled rapidly, agile and swift, and it quickly disappeared around the corner in the distance.
Shen MO stood there for a while.
The vibrations under his feet dwindled as the meat maggot moved further away, smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller… until it finally dissipated.
He knitted his brows, turned around to go back, picked up the wheelchair by the road, and re-entered the shop where they had just hidden.
When Bai Youwei saw him return, she almost started crying, tears welled up in her eyes as she choked out a shout, “Give me my wheelchair back!
Shen MO was taken aback, he moved over to help her back into the wheelchair, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Why was she suddenly so fragile?
Bai Youwei dropped a couple of tears.
Feeling the solid texture beneath her lower half, she slowly regained her composure, but her complexion remained extremely pale.
She closed her eyes and breathed out slowly, “So disgusting, so disgusting…”
The thought filled her mind.
She was too disgusted to think of anything else..
