How to Feed an Abyss! - Chapter 86

Lao Song’s voice echoed on the platform, he stared and coughed violently.

At first, everyone thought he was hit by the **** of a gun, but he coughed and coughed, several teeth fell out, the skin peeled off, and the pupils were gradually covered with silver.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Lu-listen-han-“

“He’s mutated!” Someone shouted, “Shoot!”

The soldier behind Lao Song was startled, stepped back subconsciously, and pulled the trigger! The gun rang, and the bullet pierced Lao Song’s abdominal cavity, but what exploded was not blood, but feathers.

White, holy feathers.

At the end of the tunnel, the mighty singing sounded again, and the human-faced bird spread its wings and rushed towards the crowd. And there were more than a dozen figures on the track, their faces were all covered with feathers. Looking at the epaulettes, they and Lao Song belonged to the No. 13 pioneer team.

An hour ago, the No. 13 Vanguard was defeated in Xicheng District, and all the soldiers were infected.

Lao Song’s consciousness wandered between monsters and humans, and he led his comrades all the way here.

A group of them dragged their walking corpse-like pace, following the man-faced bird, their limbs twitching from time to time.

The scene was very chaotic, with gunshots, roars and singing mixed together. Shi Yuan saw not far away that two soldiers lost their minds and stabbed each other **** with knives.

Where is Lu Tinghan? Shi Yuan thought. He should be very close to him, less than twenty or thirty meters away.

Feathers flying all over the sky obscured the line of sight. He raised his tail, kept scaring away the human-faced bird, and wanted to go to Lu Tinghan’s side.

Another human-faced bird was frightened by his tail and fled.

It flies away, revealing the man behind it—

Lao Song’s head was surrounded by feathers, and his facial features could not be seen clearly at all, like a fluffy spore.

“…I saw it,” he said in a hoarse voice, “cough cough cough—Major Ke and I both saw it, you passed through the butterfly thunderstorm in the whole city, you were safe, and you were talking to that monster woman. Major Ke inquired , Lu Tinghan often takes you to the front line, to the outpost, you…cough cough, you are definitely not human.”

The feathers on his head were flying, and Shi Yuan somehow felt that he was crying.

Lao Song said: “Major Ke is dead, my comrades are sacrificed, and I will soon become a monster. I have traveled so far, and I came here to accomplish two things. The first thing is to expose Lu Tinghan Lies, the second thing is, I want to solve hidden dangers, hidden dangers of human beings.”

He said softly: “You are the monster who bewitched him. As long as you die, everything will pass and everything will return to normal. He is still our land general—I have always, I have always admired him the most.”

He raised his hand/gun and pulled the trigger on Shi Yuan!

There was not even two seconds from when he raised the gun to when the gun went off.

No one, including Shi Yuan, thought that Lao Song could use a gun after being infected like this, and he was so obsessed with it.

Afterwards, Shi Yuan recalled that it would have been fine if he had turned into a black mist and fled away the first time he bumped into Lao Song; or, if he could have reacted faster, lowered his body, and hid in the darkness.

But he was worried that he might be infected by the human-faced bird and would not turn into a black mist. He was not an experienced fighter enough to react in an instant. There are no “ifs” in this world.

He could only watch helplessly as the bullet shot out from the pitch-black gun, heading towards his heart.

— Am I going to die?

At that moment Shi Yuan thought so.

He has never seen the death of an abyss, and he does not know what kind of existence he has become as a human being. He has been injured, bruised, scratched, and also bleeds. His body is very fragile. With human emotions, there are also their weaknesses. This is the price that must be paid.

But will he really die?

The bullet spun, piercing the wind.

“…!”

Shi Yuan fell heavily on his shoulders, and the world was turned upside down. Someone swooped down and knocked him down. The two of them rolled on the ground two or three times, covered with dust and dirt. Then the man pulled the trigger and fired a few quick shots, each of which hit Lao Song’s forehead.

Feathers flew around, Lao Song knelt down limply, fell to the ground, and died.

Shi Yuan was stunned for a few seconds: “Lu Tinghan!”

Lu Tinghan paused for a while, then stood up with the floor propped up, and said in a low voice, “Come with me.”

The two of them came under a pillar and leaned against the pillar for cover. It was very dark around, and there were bursts of singing, and occasionally there was the terrifying roar of berserkers. Lu Tinghan shot, and the human-faced birds fell one by one, smashing to pieces. The members of the No. 13 Vanguard, who were still walking like walking dead, were also shot dead by him, and gained the peace they deserved.

After nearly 10 minutes, this wave of offensive was coming to an end, and the gunfire stopped one after another.

“They seem to be dead.” Shi Yuan said, looking out, “We can continue to look for their ‘leader’.”

Lu Tinghan didn’t answer, his breathing was a little rough.

Shi Yuan felt something was wrong, and when he looked back, there was a layer of cold sweat on Lu Tinghan’s forehead. Shi Yuan’s hand propped on the ground was wet, he picked it up and looked, his hand was warm and scarlet.

Shi Yuan froze all over.

He leaned forward to look at Lu Tinghan, blood gushed out from his abdomen, stained the uniform red, and dripped on the ground. In a blink of an eye, Shi Yuan understood: This is the shot fired by Lao Song.

He was not shot because Lu Tinghan blocked the bullet for him.

Shi Yuan’s hands were shaking, as if he had been hit by an electric current, and he was so panicked that he didn’t know what to do. As if going back to the day when the “heavy hammer” fell, Lu Tinghan was also in a pool of blood.

Now the nightmare repeats itself.

The one who hit him was his comrade-in-arms who once admired him. The bullet was originally aimed at a little monster.

“…Shi Yuan, don’t be afraid.” Lu Tinghan was still comforting him at this moment, “Go find someone and get the first aid kit.”

Shi Yuan ran away in a hurry, stepped on the corpse of the human-faced bird, stumbled, and finally found Adjutant Ning and several other soldiers.

This is the only group of survivors, also injured and unable to move. The medical soldier also died, and Adjutant Ning left a few wounded to take care of each other, and rushed to Lu Tinghan’s side with the first aid kit.

Lao Song used a small-caliber pistol/gun, and Lu Tinghan wore military armor, so the bullet’s kinetic energy and stopping effect on the human body were greatly reduced. If the large-caliber ammunition is changed, the cavity effect caused by the bullet in the abdomen will cause fainting and hemorrhage, and anyone will die within a few minutes.

Adjutant Ning was terrified, and after briefly confirming the injury, he took out sterile gauze to cover the wound, filled it with gauze strips and bandages, and then bandaged it with pressure.

He said: “I have contacted the support force, you lie on your back and don’t move.”

Lu Tinghan said, “Give me painkillers and stimulants.”

“I’ll take painkillers right away,” Adjutant Ning said, “but you probably don’t need stimulants.”

“We must hunt down their ‘leader’.” Lu Tinghan’s face turned pale, but his eyes were bright, “If you miss this time, you won’t be able to find it, and only I can find it.”

“What are you talking about!” Adjutant Ning frowned, “You are so hurt!”

Shi Yuan gripped the corner of his clothes tightly, listening to their argument, staring straight at the blood on the ground, his whole body was still numb.

“So I want a stimulant.” Lu Tinghan said.

Adjutant Ning pressed the first-aid kit tightly, “The reinforcements will be here soon, and they will continue to fight.”

“It’s too late.” Lu Tinghan sat up straight with support, “The next round of offensive is about to begin.”

Shi Yuan said, “I will scare them away.” He grabbed Lu Tinghan’s hand and looked into his eyes, “I will scare them all away.”

“…” Lu Tinghan laughed silently, “Shi Yuan, we all know this is impossible.”

He looked at the two people in front of him and said, “The situation is irreversible, I’m already here.”

In order to speculate on the monster’s behavior, Lu Tinghan went to the front line and had close contact with the monster.

But it’s not the current situation. He personally led the disabled team to hunt down the leader of the monsters in the fallen station. As the general of the alliance, he should never do such a desperate thing.

Unless, he has no choice.

Lu Tinghan took a deep breath, and the blood seeped into the gauze little by little.

He said: “If the leader is dead, the city may not be able to sustain it, but if it does not die, the alliance will definitely fall. We have no time to wait for reinforcements, only us, only me. I have handed over all command to the city before the hunt begins. To Lieutenant General Fu Xiu, he is directing according to my instructions.” Because of his injuries, he took a few deep breaths again, “That monster must die.”

Shi Yuan had been guarding the Second Military Region for a long time, completely unaware that the battle situation had reached this point.

And Adjutant Ning gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead popped up and throbbed! He paused for two seconds, rummaged through the first aid kit, and took out painkillers and stimulants.

Swallowing the pill, the translucent liquid flowed into the vein along the needle… Lu Tinghan’s condition improved visibly to the naked eye.

With the support of Shi Yuan and his adjutant, he stood up. “Go any further and you’ll find it in no time,” he said.

Adjutant Ning said, “I’ll go with you!”

Lu Tinghan: “Okay, let’s go.”

Shi Yuan helped Lu Tinghan, fearing that something would happen to him. However, military stimulants, coupled with Lu Tinghan’s extraordinary willpower, made his actions almost the same as before.

…except the blood in the abdomen is slowly oozing.

This is absolutely fatal, and his time is running out.

Shi Yuan clenched his teeth.

He has thousands of words to say, such as Lu Tinghan, you must not die, such as if I just reacted faster, such as I caused you to become like this, and all kinds of self-blaming apologies, Or maybe I won’t die at all…

But he knew it was not the time to say these words.

Lu Tinghan can give everything for human beings, but he absolutely cannot die. Lu Tinghan knows this better than anyone else. When he flew towards Shi Yuan, he had already made his choice.

Adjutant Ning was holding a gun, and the light from the flashlight could not see through the surroundings. Shi Yuan wiped his face, and walked into the thick darkness side by side with Lu Tinghan.

There were corpses all over the ground, the blood of humans and monsters was mixed, and the singing from the ground sounded again, holy and elegant.

On this dark, abandoned platform, along the old track, there is the last remnant of the defeated army.

Move forward.

until the end.

In the sound of footsteps, Adjutant Ning asked in a low voice: “General, is what that person just said… true?” He smiled reluctantly, “He has been infected like that, probably suffering from hysteria, talking nonsense Hahaha, we didn’t take it seriously.”

Lu Tinghan replied: “It’s true.”

“…” The adjutant’s eyes widened and his breathing stagnated.

He murmured: “How is it possible, this is actually true.” He looked at Shi Yuan, “Then, that is he…?!”

“He is not human.” Lu Tinghan said, “But he is my lover.”

For a moment, the adjutant’s expression was complicated.

He ended up saying nothing, just asking, “Are you on the side of humanity?”

“Always.”

“Then I trust you.”

After walking for about ten minutes, Shi Yuan drove away two or three groups of human-faced birds, and they arrived at the “Wangshan Terminal”.

This is a very large site. People used to come and go, and the trains stopped here, as if tired birds were returning to their nests.

The main control room of the underground station is also here, and it has been transformed into an outpost. The soldiers at the outpost were all dead. In the fortress-like outpost, they heard the singing from Nine Heavens and killed each other with peaceful smiles.

Didn’t die from the fangs of monsters, or from the knives and guns of our own people – spiritual infection is always so terrible, which is why people are jealous of the abyss watcher.

Seeing this tragic situation, Adjutant Ning couldn’t help frowning.

Lu Tinghan looked around and saw several bird corpses with human faces. He smelled the smell of blood and decay in the air, and looked towards the end of the terminal.

“It’s there,” he said.

A piece of golden feather, riding on the wind, fluttered and came. At the end of the platform, the human-faced bird has the face of a woman. She is extremely beautiful, with lowered eyes, as if in pity.
