Chapter 522 Click——
After packing up everything, Anjiu returned to reality.
The homestay has two bedrooms and a living room. She and Song Hai have one bedroom each - although she may not stay in the house at night.
Song Haizhi was looking at the night view by the window, while Pu Huai was curled up on the sofa watching TV.
Anjiu sat next to Pu Huai, took out the still hot dry pot spicy duck head and pork intestines pot, picked up some spicy and sour boneless chicken feet, and three bottles of beer.
"Come, eat."
Song Haizhi touched his stomach and said, "You eat first. I ate too much at noon and I'm not hungry now."
Anjiu and Pu Huai put on gloves, found a funny variety show to watch while eating, and drank beer while eating duck wings.
She ordered slightly spicy dishes, which tasted just the right level of spiciness.
The duck head is soaked in red oil and looks bright red and attractive. The skin is slightly crispy. When you bite it with your teeth, there is a "crunch" sound, and the rich and mellow aroma bursts in your mouth.
The numbing and numb feeling brought by the peppercorns jumps on the tip of the tongue like an electric current, instantly awakening the taste buds.
The duck meat is tender and spreads out between the lips and teeth. Every fiber is soaked in the spicy soup. The more you chew it, the more fragrant and delicious it becomes.
When you eat duck brain, its smooth and dense texture melts in your mouth like cream, leaving a spicy aftertaste that makes you unable to stop.
She picked up a piece of pork intestine and put it into her mouth. The first thing she felt was the slightly burnt texture on the surface. When she bit it lightly, she found that the casing had some elasticity and brittleness, and made a slight "crunching" sound.
Then, rich fat overflows between the teeth, but it doesn't feel too greasy. Take another sip of beer, and the taste is so refreshing.
“It’s still delicious when it’s fresh out of the pot~”
Without having to worry about safety issues and without any psychological burden, she and Pu Huai enjoyed their meal very much.
The room was filled with the hahahahaha laughter from the variety show. The windows were open and the night breeze blew in gently.
Song Haizhi's hair was blown up and hit his face, and he scratched his itchy skin.
At this moment, a crisp click suddenly rang in my ears.
The TV lost signal instantly and turned gray, making a crackling sound of electricity.
The pitch-black sea disappeared, and was replaced by a bright milky white outside the window. The residential building opposite was not a complete building.
Instead, a single room was suspended abruptly in the air. A figure flashed behind the glass window, and then the curtains were drawn tightly.
"What kind of disaster is this? It comes so suddenly." Song Haizhi said to himself.
Anjiu and Pu Huai took off their disposable gloves, wiped their mouths, walked to his side and looked outside.
"Did you hear any sound just now?" An Jiu said hesitantly.
She wasn't sure if she really heard it, the volume from the TV was loud and her attention was divided into several parts.
Song Haizhi was standing by the window, so he should have heard it more clearly.
"I heard some noises..." Song Haizhi said carefully, "Kacha, what could be the source of this noise?"
What is certain is that the environment changed after this sound was heard.
An Jiu nodded, "Yes, that's the noise I heard."
But the problem is that there are too many things that can make this sound, such as pressing the shutter of a camera, cutting paper with scissors, biting hard food, and even the cracking of ice...
Or to be more exaggerated, for example, a taboo is broken.
But they don't know what caused it.
Looking at the vast white sky and earth outside, I couldn't explain why the vast ocean suddenly disappeared, and a sense of crisis gradually surged in my heart.
"Look what's that over there? Eggs?"
In the direction of Song Haizhi's finger, a layer of small, round, pale yellow things emerged from nowhere, densely packed one next to the other.
It feels like the eggs of some creature.
Anjiu noticed that all the houses across the street, which were suspended in the air at different heights, had their curtains drawn, and some were even covered with tape.
It's like it's defending against something invading.
Considering the round things on the outside, it is not difficult to guess that it should be related to eggs.
"Let's draw the curtains too."
But even with the curtains drawn the room was still bright, and Anjiu even felt that her eyesight had suddenly improved.
Through the thick cloth, I could see the eggs gradually developing and growing two black eyeballs.
"Close all the doors and windows in the room, and stay in the living room for the time being."
Before the eggs hatched, An Jiu and Song Haizhi went back to the bedroom and moved out the bedding and pillows.
Likewise, he drew the bedroom curtains together, leaving no gaps, closed the door, and stayed in the living room.
They can return to the abyss at any time, and the sense of crisis is not so severe with a retreat. However, Anjiu still went to the kitchen to find a rolling pin and an iron spoon, and each of them took one as a self-defense tool.
“I didn’t find the kitchen knife. Maybe the landlord didn’t dare to provide it.”
There were none of these things originally; she found them from a semi-sealed box.
"How's the situation?"
"Not good, those eggs are really developing."
Even through the thick curtains, one could clearly feel that the eggs were much larger than before.
They grow and develop really fast.
As long as they haven't hatched from their shells, An Jiu and Song Haizhi can't guess what kind of creature is inside.
Anyway, it can't be a living creature in the conventional sense.
This place seems to be a different space, too quiet.
An Jiu and Song Hai tried their best to avoid talking to each other subconsciously. Even when they had to speak, their brain nerves would tremble when they heard their own voices.
In this environment, any sound seems to be amplified.
They were not in the mood to eat anymore, so Anjiu covered the remaining ingredients and put them back into the space.
Grandma was already asleep, so she tried to be as silent as possible when picking up and putting down things.
The eggs develop very quickly and become as big as steamed buns in the blink of an eye.
The shell also became more and more transparent, and the creatures inside became clearer and clearer.
Its eyes are wide apart and shiny black like a longan kernel.
If you look closely, you will find that it is moving, spinning around, as if it is secretly looking at the person hiding behind the curtains, or as if it is looking for a target after hatching.
This is a silent and anxious wait, and the living can only wait forcedly.
I don’t know how long it was, but in the silence, the scene that I had imagined countless times finally appeared.
With a small click, the skin of the first egg broke.
Soon after, more and more crackling sounds appeared, and every egg was successfully hatched.
But when they saw the creature's appearance clearly, Anjiu and the other two felt a churning in their stomachs, and sour water rushed up their throats.
"Is this... still a human???"
I saw a soft and slender body slowly crawling out of the egg skin, winding forward like a ball of boneless gel.
Its body surface is slimy and moist, with an unpleasant sheen of water, and it leaves a shiny, wet trail wherever it passes.
But what made them feel uncomfortable was that it had a human head, with a pair of eyes extending high like tentacles, looking around flexibly.
