Chapter 1147: Multiple-eyed Monsters
Lin Qiao stayed where she was and carefully sensed the weird, ominous vibe. She thought for a moment, then decided to go to where the vibe came from and take a look.
The vibe made her feel not good, as if something extremely dangerous had shown up. Therefore, she decided to give up on the wolf and go find the source of the vibe. After she had figured out what gave out the vibe, she might continue tracking the wolf.
“Follow me… Speed up!” Lin Qiao gave her order and then disappeared. Hearing her order, Xie Dong and the other zombies followed her vibe at their highest speeds.
Lin Qiao swiftly moved through the treetops or mountain tops, toward the source of the weird vibe. Before long, the group of zombies behind her could barely see her. Except for the few who had wind powers, no one was able to catch up with Lin Qiao the zombie emperor.
More than a hundred miles only took Lin Qiao about ten minutes. She stood on top of the tallest tree on a mountaintop as she looked at the dried river and the herd of disgusting creatures which had occupied the river bed. Her brows were knitted into a deep frown.
Why did those creatures have so many eyes? Were those eyes for seeing? And their disgusting bodies… Were they mutated leeches or slugs? Why did they only have two legs? They looked so misshapen, even worse than some legless creatures!
Lin Qiao couldn’t help but cover her eyes with a hand and turn her face away with disgust. Those creatures were so blindingly ugly, especially their eye-covered head. Her trypophobia was nearly triggered!
Those creatures gathered in a huge herd. They weren’t large in size, but did have terribly strong vibes. Even the smallest one of them gave out a vibe as strong as that of a level-six mutated beast, while the largest ones seemed to be at level-eight. Moreover, their number was ridiculously large.
As Lin Qiao curved her eyes and turned her head, the creatures in the valley all paused, then turned toward the mountaintop that she was on simultaneously.
Lin Qiao’s heart leaped. She instantly turned back and found those creatures staring straight at her. The feeling of being targeted made her feel under pressure. The mountain was only about seven miles away from the valley, so those creatures easily detected her vibe and saw her.
None of them showed any fear to Lin Qiao’s zombie emperor vibe. The plants near them had all started dying and turning dark, while the tree leaves had fallen and the tree trunks had turned black. It looked like the darkness was spreading bit by bit from the valley.
Some mutated animals on the earth’s surface died and fell on the gra.s.s before being eaten by those creatures. The dead animals which had turned black emitted an odor like rotten corpses. However, those multiple-eyed creatures ate the dead bodies with great appet.i.te.
That scene was very unpleasant to the eyes, but still, Lin Qiao needed to observe them. Wherever those creatures visited, all objects on the ground turned black quickly, and an odor spread along the area. The animals in further areas fell to the ground once they smelt the odor.
The lower-leveled mutated animals didn’t seem to sense the coming danger. Only the higher-leveled ones felt something and left vigilantly.
About half an hour later, Xie Dong and the other zombies finally showed up by Lin Qiao’s side. At that moment, the darkness from the valley had spread to a very obvious degree, so the group of zombies noticed it once they arrived.
“Whoa! What are those creatures? They’re so ugly!” Yan Xiao uttered a scream the first, then forced herself to observe those creatures with a twisted face. Those things were indescribably ugly.
Jingyan stayed composed and looked at those creatures carefully. “They are from the underground too. How come so many weird creatures crawled out of the earth after the apocalypse?” she pointed at the earth cracks on the river bed and said.
Xie Dong and the other male zombie didn’t react so strongly to those ugly creatures, but they did have their eye corners or mouth corners twitching. Six turned around the moment he saw the countless eyes squeezing together on those creatures’ heads. “d.a.m.n! I even have gooseb.u.mps! What the h.e.l.l are those things! So disgusting!”
Ye Qingxian looked at him, then patted on his shoulder and laughed, “Bro, you’re not having what people called trypophobia, are you? Haha, it’s gonna be interesting if you are.”
Six stayed silent; he hated to admit it, but he did have trypophobia.
“What are they?” With a frown, Xie Dong looked at the valley that already had a big area turning black. Not even a slight trace of life-force could be detected from the valley as the sense of death spread in that area. Those monsters were obviously what turned the valley into that state.
Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Base on my observation, these things are even harder to deal with than those underground gorillas near our base. They like to eat rotten dead bodies, and their bodies release a highly poisonous gas, which is spreading in all directions now.”
“And there are a lot of them. If they start to move, the entire Northwest might be affected,” said Xie Dong with worry.
Hearing what he said, Lin Qiao turned and looked around. Then, she turned back and folded her arms, putting a hand on her chin as she said uncertainly, “If I’m right… this isn’t the only place where the monsters showed up.”
The bad feeling that she was having grew stronger when she saw those creatures. The valley didn’t seem to be the only cause of that feeling.
On hearing her words, not only Xie Dong, but the other zombies all turned to her and looked at her with surprise.
“What? No way! Are there more of these things in other places?” Yan Xiao felt really uncomfortable on hearing that. She thought those creepy creatures wouldn’t affect her own base and the rest of China, as they were so far away from those places. However, Lin Qiao’s words ruined her good wish.
A huge herd of multiple-eyed creatures had already occupied the valley, and more had been coming out of the earth cracks. Yan Xiao would rather deal with a world full of zombies than facing the fact that those disgusting creatures might invade the entire earth!
Hearing what Yan Xiao said, Jingyan, Five, whose name was Liuli, and the other zombie ladies all felt chilly. Six flapped his own head and tried to slap those creatures’ serried eyes out of his mind.
Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said, “It might be different creatures, such as those underground gorillas. They don’t look the same as these things.”
Compared with these creatures in the valley, underground gorillas could even be called pretty.
