MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 1 little monster

The bright moon shines directly, and the forest wind is desolate.

The man was lying on the stone, covered in blood, covered in scattered tree shadows. His cheeks and neck were covered with translucent blisters, and worm-shaped black shadows were swimming in them. He stretched out his hand forward and tried to speak: "You...you..."

Shi Yuan froze for a moment, threw the flashlight aside, and rushed to hold his hand.

The man's hands were cold, dead, trembling with pain. Shi Yuan leaned down, put his ear close to the man's lips, and said, "What do you want to talk about? I'm here, I'm here."

The man made a "ho ho" sound. Shi Yuan couldn't hear clearly: "What are you talking about? Do you want water or food? I, I have it here."

He put down his backpack and frantically searched for it, but the man suddenly stood up and grabbed his wrist, staring at him, his bloodshot eyes tearing apart: "You lied to me...you are also a **** monster...!"

The sound stopped abruptly.

He died with his eyes open.

Shi Yuan stopped, sat in the moonlight, and looked at him.

The blisters on the man's face burst one by one, and the larvae, with their new wings, stretched freely in the wind.

One, two, three...

There are luminous capsules on the tails of the bugs, shining rosy-purple light. When they fly in groups, they seem to be flying gems in the air, which is very beautiful.

The eggs were shattered, and the corpse was riddled with holes.

Shi Yuan let go of the man's hand very slowly, closed his eyes for him, and picked up the flashlight that rolled aside.

The bugs are still flying. This infected creature is called "Purple Light Bug", and it is extremely aggressive to humans.

But they didn't approach Time Abyss.

No matter how crazy the insects were flying, the two or three meters around Shi Yuan were empty.

Shi Yuan didn't notice this, and was stunned for a while, picked up stones, and simply buried the man's body—he met this man by chance five days ago, and they walked together for a while, but death quickly separated them .

He didn't feel sad, just a little sad.

There is a stream next to it.

Shi Yuan turned his head and stared at himself in the water.

His skin was delicately white under the moon, almost transparent, but his eyes were pure black, with a few black scales spreading from the end of his right eye to his temple.

Scales on the face, sharp demon-like horns on the head, and a long black tail.

He looked at it carefully for a long time, curled his tail in confusion, and thought that he was quite human, didn't he have two eyes and one mouth, could he still walk upright, why did the man scold him like that.

Shi Yuan sighed a little bored, took a handful of water to wash his face, and decided to continue the journey.

He adjusted his cloak and stepped into the deep forest with a flashlight.

Shi Yuan has been wandering like this for several months, with no purpose, no direction, only the vaguest idea: he wants to go to a crowded place, he wants to find a place where human beings gather, such as the kind of strong fortress called a city.

He is looking for someone.

He's a little monster who lost his human and only wants to get him back.

The shadows of the trees were mottled, and the purple light worm followed him not far or near, soundlessly. Their light illuminates the surroundings.

There were not many visitors in the forest, and Shi Yuan woke up many things.

The eight-legged deer stands on the canopy of the tree, half of its body is intact, and half of it has become a bone; the rock reveals a huge mouth, chewing the dry bones in the mouth; occasionally, the mushrooms can be heard singing, the white toadstool sings high-pitched, and the voice of the brown porcini mushroom It was low, but soon the singing faded away; there was always a rustling sound from behind the trees, and when Shi Yuan shone the light, sometimes translucent monkeys were seen, sometimes a few fish with human faces, sometimes a branch The fir tree covered with eyeballs, after looking at him, twisted its roots and fled quickly.

He saw all kinds of beings, and the forest at night was more lively than a party.

And they all looked at him from a distance, and didn't approach him.

He didn't know that these infected creatures were deadly, any one of them could kill a person. No one can walk through the intertwined trees with bare hands like him.

While wading through the third creek, Shi Yuan accidentally fell and his calf was cut with a long and narrow cut by the stone.

It hurts.

He pursed his lips slightly, took out the bandage from his bag, wrapped it up clumsily, and continued on his journey.

The purple light worm followed him silently.

Everything was weird and peaceful until a shadow fell and enveloped him. Shi Yuan turned his head and saw countless himself in the thousands of compound eyes.

It was a huge queen bee.

It is as tall as two or three people, its body is pitch black, and its tail is also bright purple. The purple light worms flew around it, rejoicing, and the queen bee stared at Shi Yuan, approaching slowly until Shi Yuan could clearly see every fluff of it.

"...Hello?" Shi Yuan said tentatively, "Are you lost?"

The queen bee was silent, her wings fluttering at high speed.

"My name is Shi Yuan, how about you?"

silence.

"If you get lost, we can walk together and walk out of this wasteland together."

The monster said nothing. Its shriveled body hangs in the wind like an ancient dead tree.

"Come with me." Shi Yuan no longer hesitated, "I don't have any companions anymore, maybe we can be good friends." He stretched out his hands to the queen bee, his fingers were slender and fair.

The queen bee's golden compound eyes looked at him.

After a long time, it lowered its head and opened its six legs towards Shi Yuan. The toes are so sharp that they can easily stab a person through. It seems to be preying, and it seems to want to hug him——

"Bang!" Cold blood splashed all over Shi Yuan.

There was a bullet hole in the center of the queen bee's head. It was still alive, and it let out a high-frequency scream that could not be heard by human ears.

What greeted them was a hail of bullets, machine guns spewing out flames, burning/bombs exploded in the air, and large swaths of bright red. Dozens of armed soldiers jumped up with their guns. Everything happened so suddenly, Shi Yuan instinctively lay down on the ground, hugged his head, and the tip of his tail was so tense that he curled up into a ball.

Flames, explosions, screams.

Groups of purple light hurricanes swirled like a hurricane.

After a long time, the swarm was depleted. The queen bee is covered in bullet holes and her wings are burning with flames.

It spread its wings with flames and fell heavily to the ground.

It fell beside Shi Yuan.

The surroundings became quiet, the queen bee's golden compound eyes slowly lost their luster, and the ashes of her wings fell on Shi Yuan's shoulders.

Shi Yuan looked at it and said, "Good night."

The gang approached with guns.

Shi Yuan saw so many humans for the first time.

Then Shi Yuan was knocked down by them, several hands pressed him to the ground, the cold muzzle hit his head, he could barely see someone coming with a needle and drew several large tubes of blood for him.

"The results will be available in half an hour," said the blood drawer, "and then we will know whether he is infected or not."

"What else are you looking for?" said a person who suppressed him, "Look at his scales, forehead and tail, you can see that the infection is in the late stage, and it would be kind to give him a good time. Who knows that this kid will turn into a What a monster." The gun barrel pressed against the back of Shi Yuan's head with a little more force.

"Be rigorous." The blood drawer replied, "It cannot be ruled out that it is a serious sequelae of infection. The possibility of this is less than one in a million, but there are still some, right?"

The man sneered: "One in a million... You also saw that he just wanted to touch the queen bee, is this a normal person? Who would do such a thing!"

"This is not conclusive evidence, but my test results are." The blood drawer's attitude was firm, "Captain Cai, by the way, General Lu is going back to the city, and he will know about it."

This time, that "captain Cai" stopped talking.

Shi Yuan felt very frustrated.

He tried his best to imitate human beings, but he was still seen through at a glance. Fortunately, humans have no intention of killing him for the time being.

He really wanted to tell these people, don't hold him down like this, he won't attack and infect them.

He's a kind and harmless monster who just wants to find people.

But Shi Yuan had no chance to defend himself. He was taken all the way to the convoy and stuffed into a cage. The cage was spacious and airtight, and it was specially prepared for those suspected of being infected. There were simple tables and chairs, and someone brought him hot water.

People were cleaning up the chaos after the war, busy arranging guns, treating wounds, and cutting up the queen bee's tissue for research. In their busy schedule, they drew three people to guard Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan didn't know when the "test results" would come, but he felt that he had no reason to pass the test.

He has to escape.

Before fleeing, he had to ask in which direction the city was.

The cage had only a small window blocked by a sheet of perforated iron. He drank the hot water and felt much more comfortable all over. Then he went to the small window and asked the guard, "Hello, can I ask a question?"

The guards were silent.

Shi Yuan said, "Which direction is the city?"

No one answered him, and he asked several times. After a long time, one person said in a low voice: "If your test results are all right, we will take you into the city."

That's what it means not to answer.

Shi Yuan has no concept of time, he doesn't know how long it has been since the blood was drawn, but it's time for him to run away. He put his right hand over the right side of the cage, where he felt the weakest...

"Wait, are you sure the test result is all right?" There was a vague conversation from outside.

Shi Yuan paused, retracted his hand and listened carefully.

"I'm sure." It was still the voice of the blood drawer.

"Didn't you say it would take half an hour? Why so fast."

Blood drawer: "That's a conservative estimate. It won't take long to test a person. The report is here, and there are a lot of processes. Nuo, take it and read it. I guess you can't understand it. But your team Cai said you can let it go." You guys are dead, put it away for dinner, the tomato soup is going to be cold."

"Okay, okay, wait for me to open the door." The guard sighed, "Why is it tomato soup again?"

Shi Yuan couldn't believe it: why wasn't he found abnormal?

After a sound of metal rubbing, the door of the cage was opened.

Standing outside the door was a petite woman in a white coat, who was the one who drew his blood. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Come out and follow me."

She turned around and left, Shi Yuan quickly followed her footsteps.

People in the distance are busy, and a dozen off-road vehicles are parked together. Before he saw a few people, he was pulled into the tent next to the convoy by the woman.

"Go in and rest." The woman told him, "We'll be traveling all night in the second half of the night."

Shi Yuan said, "Thank you."

"It's okay, it should be." The woman hesitated for a few seconds, hesitated to speak, and finally looked at Shi Yuan and said, "If the queen bee appears, there will be an evacuation vehicle at the end of the convoy, and someone will take you there, at least this way You can survive."

Shi Yuan: "Queen Bee?"

The woman explained: "The purple light bug has a queen bee and a queen bee. You should be glad that we only met the queen bee. The queen bee is much more dangerous than it. We have to leave this area before it appears."

A look of uneasiness crossed her face.

Not only her, but everyone rushed to rectify and be on guard. Some people were holding a gun with red eyes, some buried their heads in wiping the blade, and some knelt on the ground to check the vehicle, with oily hands. The mud is full of footprints, the lights illuminate half of the sky, and the modified car is ready to start at any time. Although no one said it, tension seeped from every corner.

No one wants to meet a raging queen bee with wings like knives and a body like steel, eager to reproduce endlessly and feverishly.

The woman finally said: "Rest now, this is not something you need to worry about."

she left.

There were clean clothes in the tent, and after Shi Yuan changed into them, he wrapped himself in a quilt and nestled on the bed.

He took a deep breath.

He was very nervous just now, until now the tip of his tail is still curled up, for fear that the other party will notice his abnormality.

What the woman doesn't know is that the queen bee has already appeared.

This matter started five days ago, when Shi Yuan met the dead man by chance.

The man's name is Xie Qianming. When he first met, he looked at Shi Yuan's appearance and firmly believed that Shi Yuan was an infected person.

"I was also infected." Xie Qianming smiled dryly, "So I don't mind if you get in my car."

Xie Qianming said that he encountered a group of insects and was accidentally bitten. The infection was getting worse, and the bug was growing rapidly inside his body.

He felt that he and Shi Yuan had the same disease and sympathy.

Therefore, Shi Yuan didn't justify himself in an extravagant manner.

The first four days were calm, they ate and chatted together, on the fifth day—that is, this evening, they met the queen bee of the swarm.

The queen bee is wandering in the green forest, sucking the honey of a huge flower, with yellow and black markings all over her body, and her three pairs of metallic wings are like works of art, and the off-road vehicle is as small as a toy in front of her.

Xie Qianming turned the front of the car abruptly, but the two-meter-long bee needle directly picked up the car and overturned it!

After the world was turned upside down, Xie Qianming yelled: "Get out!" He kicked open the car door, climbed out, and fell to the ground due to exhaustion due to infection. Shi Yuan also escaped from the car, looking at the weak man and the huge queen bee, he felt that he should do something.

He doesn't consider himself human, or he wouldn't try to befriend the queen bee.

But Xie Qianming is his companion, Shi Yuan can't just watch him being eaten.

So the queen bee died.

Black crystals exploded from its body. The queen bee was still screaming silently before she died, but more crystals poured out of her mouth, layer upon layer, sharp and bony, sticking her half body to the ground. Two minutes passed, it was like a specimen wrapped in black crystal, forever frozen in the moment of struggle.

When Shi Yuan went back to find Xie Qianming, he saw him lying powerlessly on the rock.

The queen catalyzed the growth of the larva, and he was covered in blood and dying.

Shi Yuan took his hand.

Xie Qianming said you lied to me, you are also a **** monster.

Then, Shi Yuan met the queen bee and the team.

There were many people outside the tent, and people could vaguely hear talking about the queen bee, with tense tones. The wilderness and forest winds are intertwined, whimpering, as if countless monsters are whispering.

Shi Yuan circled himself with his tail, held the cup in both hands, and sipped hot water. He didn't know if the woman saw his nervousness, and he didn't know if Captain Cai was still suspicious of him. In short, he got away with it and blended in with humans.

He is a little liar.

The queen bee is dead, and the thousands of aliens in the forest dare not approach. He is the most terrifying monster in this wilderness.

However, Shi Yuan thought expectantly, I will be able to go to the city soon, will my humans be there?

He could probably touch my head, scratch my chin, and stay with me all day without getting bored.

In this world, only he belongs to me.

Shi Yuan drank the hot water in one gulp.

During the long night, he wrapped himself in a blanket and curled up into a fluffy ball.

at the same time.

The east defense line of the main city.

A fierce battle has just ended. The supply trucks lined up silently. The ground was covered with bullet casings, mud, **** footprints, and monster corpses. Several infected people were dying. The young and handsome officer stepped on the dirt with strides, and seemed to feel something, so he stopped and looked back.

That is the direction of the wasteland.

"Admiral Lu, what are your orders?" the adjutant asked.

The man didn't speak, his straight back was outlined by the light of the searchlight. After a few seconds, he shook his head slightly: "It's okay."

He stepped on the writhing monster on the ground, aimed his gun at its head, and pulled the trigger.
