Global Weirdness: People Survive in Ultra
Chapter 246 Predation
Meng Yao and Da Gu returned to the room.
Dagu had already washed up and gone to bed. Meng Yao looked at Dagu's back as he entered the bedroom. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.
He always felt that there was something strange about this matter.
For example, Snow Flower Terrace.
If this was done by Aix, then why did Dagu find that everyone in the building was sitting in front of the TV at night?
There was no reason for Aix to make such a big fuss.
But this was just a suspicion, and Meng Yao had no evidence, so he simply said nothing.
In this way, Dagu won't have to spend the whole night in fear and can sleep well.
After taking a look at Dagu's bedroom door, Meng Yao casually covered himself with a blanket and curled up on the sofa, watching TV programs boredly.
The most popular drama of the era, "The Benevolent Doctor", was playing on TV. Meng Yao watched it for a while. Although it was interesting, he soon fell asleep.
Finally, around ten o'clock, some channels began to enter Snowflake.
Amidst the rustling sound, Meng Yao felt even more sleepy.
"Strange, nothing happened." Meng Yao felt strange and looked back at the clock on the wall. "Could it be that abnormalities only occur at midnight?"
Thinking of this, Meng Yao walked to the window and opened it.
Late at night, all you can see is darkness, but there are still a few lights on in the residential buildings opposite.
Meng Yao took a few glances and found nothing unusual, then turned his gaze to the street.
It was still pitch black, and the street lights were on intermittently in the darkness, like some kind of creature struggling to survive.
"It's raining?"
Meng Yao felt the air becoming moist. He pushed open the window and reached out to feel it for a while.
Just a light rain.
It was in the rain that Meng Yao discovered a strange street lamp.
The streetlight was a deep blue, standing out from the surrounding orange lights. It was also dim and located very high up.
"There's actually an airplane signal tower nearby? Why didn't I see it during the day?"
Meng Yao looked at it for a while, but he really couldn't imagine what else this tall, oddly colored light could be except an airplane signal tower.
Turning his eyes, Meng Yao found a person under the traffic light.
Because of the overhead light, his entire body was pitch black, and coupled with the distance, Meng Yao couldn't see the man's face at all.
But strangely, he didn't hold an umbrella.
"wack......"
Meng Yao looked for a while and felt that tonight was particularly strange.
The sudden heavy rain plunged the entire night into an eerie silence.
The next moment, Meng Yao saw two tentacles growing from the monster's head.
Then the strange man looked up and looked over here, as if he had discovered Meng Yao, and ran towards this side frantically.
The strange man was extremely fast, rushing into the green belt in a few blinks of an eye. Meng Yao was frightened and quickly leaned out of the window.
He saw a blurry figure rushing into the residential building.
The voice-activated lights on the first floor came on, but quickly dimmed.
All of Meng Yao's medals have disappeared now. Without the ability to protect himself, he suddenly feels panicked.
The first thing Meng Yao thought of was to go to the rooftop to find Lopus, but he felt that with the speed of that strange man, he would probably be waiting for him at the door.
"Forget it, I can't go out."
Meng Yao closed the window, put on a blanket, and even turned off the TV.
He huddled on the sofa, still comforting himself in his heart: "It's okay, he may not be looking for me!"
But soon, the knock on the door disrupted Meng Yao's self-comfort.
Boom boom boom!
Such a mechanical rhythm, as if the person standing outside is not a living person.
Nonsense, which good person would have tentacles on his head?
Meng Yao finally confirmed that he was being targeted by that strange man.
"Why are you targeting me? Is it an accident?"
After all, this is a world with monsters. Meng Yao began to think about what he had done today.
But I have no clue.
He could only curl up on the sofa and try not to make any noise.
Just at this moment, the knocking stopped.
Meng Yao had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the doorknob turning slowly.
But because there was an anti-theft chain behind the door, the door got stuck there with a "click" when it was halfway opened.
Meng Yao touched his chest: Fortunately, there is an anti-theft chain, so that weird thing can't get in.
But after another minute or two, Meng Yao suddenly heard a strange sound:
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Meng Yao poked his head out from under the quilt in confusion. With the help of the light from outside, he vaguely saw two sticky tentacles stretching out from the crack in the door.
The anti-theft lock is being moved up and down!
Because the anti-theft lock buckle is too small and the tentacles are covered with mucus, the lock buckle always falls back due to gravity when it is halfway opened, hitting the metal lock edge and making a "ding" sound.
We can't let this guy open the door!
Meng Yao immediately threw off the blanket and rushed to the door.
He raised his foot and kicked the door shut again. The tentacle was also severely pinched off, and the strange man outside the house let out a beast-like painful roar, which was particularly terrifying.
Meng Yao leaned his back against the door and roared to the sky, "With all this commotion, why hasn't Lopus come down yet?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yao heard the sound of fighting coming from outside the door.
Everything was quiet as the sound of meat falling to the ground was heard.
Lopus yelled outside the house: "Meng Yao! It's me, are you okay?!"
Meng Yao looked through the peephole and saw Lopus standing outside the door. He quickly opened the door and found the corpse of a monster lying on the ground when he looked down.
Although this monster is in human form, it is made up of a bunch of tentacles. Mucus is constantly flowing in the gaps between the tentacles, making it look like a disgusting ball of yarn.
What concerned Meng Yao the most was that there was something that looked like a timer on the monster's chest.
Lopus reached out and wiped a handful of the mucus and examined it carefully: "Meng Yao, this seems to be the same mucus we found at those two crime scenes."
"Could it be the alien beast you were talking about?" Lopus exclaimed, "But doesn't this thing only attack women?"
Meng Yao also recognized it.
I suddenly remembered something and my heart sank: alien beasts usually move in groups!
"Oh no, Dagu!"
Only then did Meng Yao remember Dagu who was sleeping in the bedroom.
He and Lopus rushed into the house in a hurry and pushed open the bedroom door. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw Dagu sleeping soundly.
Dagu was indeed very tired. He didn't even wake up despite the loud noise outside.
Meng Yao carefully surveyed the entire bedroom in the light from the window, and finally felt relieved: "Lucky, there's only one alien beast this time."
Wait—lights?
Where does the light outside the house come from at this late hour?!
Meng Yao and Lopez turned their heads and looked out the window.
The blue traffic light that Meng Yao had seen earlier had unexpectedly appeared in front of the window.
The blue light almost filled the entire window.
What shocked Meng Yao the most was that the traffic light was actually diamond-shaped.
At the same time, a low breathing sound was heard outside the house, as if some giant creature was standing outside the residential building.
The azure light filled the entire room, blurring the outlines of all the furnishings.
"call--"
Outside the building, the breathing sounds of unknown creatures were still ringing regularly, like a huge old bellows set up in the open air.
Lopes looked at Meng Yao, with hesitation and shock in his eyes.
Meng Yao knew that he must have recognized the origin of the diamond-shaped timer, but he could not be sure of this guess in his heart.
Only Mebius has such a unique timer.
But the question is, if the giant outside the house was really Mebius, then why couldn't Meng Yao see his body in the night outside the window before?
Instead, all I saw was an iconic timer.
It is hard to imagine what kind of twisted shape is hidden in such darkness.
Is this also a consequence of reverse alienation?
Meng Yao only had this guess in his mind at the moment.
"Meng Yao, is that really Mebius outside the house?" Lopus didn't dare to move, but just asked dryly, "I always feel something is wrong, and didn't Long say that there are no Ultramen in their world?"
Meng Yao frowned, and after a long moment he finally spoke, whispering out the window, "Mebius?"
He tried to talk to Xiao Meng. After all, according to past experience, some giants still had consciousness and could communicate even if they were reverse-alienated.
But the Mebius that Meng Yao met this time was obviously not one of them.
After Meng Yao shouted, the panting sound outside the house suddenly stopped.
Then the frequency actually accelerated and deepened, as if the foreign object in the throat was finally coughed out.
“Hoo! Hoo—”
boom!
Then the building trembled, and the creature outside unexpectedly turned and left. Every step made the building shake, but after just a few seconds, the huge footsteps disappeared, as if swallowed by darkness.
"Gone?!"
Meng Yao looked out and saw no huge creature in the darkness.
Everything that just happened—the blue timer, the rapid breathing, and the heavy footsteps—seemed like an illusion in the early hours of the night.
Only the twisted and bloody corpse of the alien beast at the door proved that everything that happened tonight really happened.
After closing the bedroom door, Meng Yao and Lops did not disturb Dagu. They left the bedroom, went to the front door and dragged the corpse of the alien beast into the house.
"Why would the alien beast choose me?" Meng Yao looked at the corpse at his feet. "Weren't the victims of the previous crimes all women?"
Lopes recalled everything that happened during the day and said, "Is it possible that we were targeted while investigating the crime scene?"
Meng Yao quickly rejected the idea: "That doesn't make sense."
"After all, from the outset, the targets of these alien beasts all share some common characteristics that we haven't yet discovered."
He frowned and began to search his body. "Something must have changed in me today, giving me the same characteristics as those victims. That's why I was suddenly chosen as a target by the alien beast."
But in the end, it was discovered that the only things that made Meng Yao different from ordinary people were the spark bracelet and the small refrigerator magnet he got as a gift from a Hawaiian restaurant.
It is a small coconut tree with a golden restaurant logo at the root.
Looking at this refrigerator magnet, Meng Yao had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He thought of the unconscious murmurs that came out of his mouth when he first met Hong Kai.
Mebius devours his brothers' bodies...?
Meng Yao urged Lopus: "Quick, Xiaoluo, find a map and mark all the crime scenes."
"No, Meng Yao, are you mistaken for Aix?"
"It doesn't matter. You both use electricity anyway."
Lopus thought about it and felt that what Meng Yao said was right, so he took a piece of paper and began to draw coordinates on it based on his memory.
After drawing the coordinates of several crime scenes, he marked the location of the Hawaiian restaurant where Minami Yuko was.
Meng Yao watched from the side. After Lopus finished all this, he took the pen and circled it on the paper.
Finally, a heavy touch was placed on the Hawaiian restaurant.
Lopus understood what Meng Yao meant: "Meng Yao, do you think these alien beasts are actually coming for Nan Xizi?"
After Lopus finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent for a while.
A large amount of data suddenly flashed in his eyes. "I just checked the online footprints of several deceased people. One of them also won a lucky prize at that Hawaiian restaurant."
In this way, Meng Yao's statement becomes more credible.
Meng Yao couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "It seems that these alien beasts are looking for these human bodies to devour."
"There may be some insider information that we don't know. After all, the human bodies in this world are ordinary people and do not have the ability to transform into giants of light."
As he spoke, Meng Yao looked at the wall clock.
It's almost one in the morning now.
Even if he wanted to find Nan Xizi to confirm her safety, he couldn't find her.
He could only casually pick up the blanket he had just thrown away: "The restaurant usually starts preparing the food at four or five in the morning. Let's rest for a while and then rush to the Hawaii restaurant as soon as possible."
Meng Yao glanced at the map he had just drawn.
On the map, the red dot representing the alien beast is very close to the Hawaiian restaurant.
Meng Yao had already covered himself with a blanket, and before closing his eyes he called out, "Lopus, turn off the lights!"
"Also, let's drag this alien beast's corpse to the rooftop and dispose of it."
Afterwards, Meng Yao also stopped moving.
Lopus took a closer look at Meng Yao, and after making sure that he was asleep, he stealthily dragged the corpse of the alien beast out.
"Thank goodness, Meng Yao didn't ask why I was late." Lopus wiped the nonexistent sweat off his face like a human. "This sleeping pattern is really disruptive, but why do humans still love to sleep?"
As he walked and thought, the corpses of the alien beasts kept bumping against the steps, making noises.
Come to think of it, I forget most of the dreams I had in sleep mode after waking up.
Even dreams will be forgotten, so Lopus can't understand why humans love to sleep.
"The strangest thing is, I didn't wake up until Meng Yao yelled. Even if I was in sleep mode, I shouldn't be so slow to react, right?"
Muttering, Lopus finally arrived at the rooftop, ready to deal with the corpse of the alien beast.
After all, if left alone, it would soon attract the defense team.
Lopes casually set the corpse on fire with his light skills and sat next to the radio bored.
Looking down, you will find that in the living rooms of several households, the TVs are playing glistening snowflakes.
And in front of the TV, there seemed to be a figure sitting.
