Chapter 1248 Connecting
“I’ve always respected them, but this time I’m anxious because this woman is still talking about such insignificant things. I don’t care whether this child is alive or dead, or in the depths of my heart, I can’t wait for him to die just like that. He has the blood of that monster in his body. If he really survives, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause? So My Feet didn’t stop at all, as if I didn’t hear what they said.”
“When the couple called me twice and saw that I didn’t respond, they stopped calling me. We continued to run forward with our heads up. After running for a while, I felt that it was a little strange because based on my understanding of the couple, they were both very independent people. They would do whatever they decided and would rarely be disturbed by others.
“So I turned around and saw something that shocked me. I didn’t know when, but the woman had grabbed the umbilical cord and inserted the sharp end into her arm. I was so scared that I almost sat on the ground. I asked her, are you crazy? Why are you doing this? Get Rid of that damn thing.
“In the end, she just shrugged at me and said Mr. Tam’s name. I knew she was threatening me because this baby was what Mr. Tam wanted, so I also yelled at her. Mr. Tam didn’t say that it had to be alive. We just need to bring this baby up to him and don’t cause any trouble.
“Do you want to take a gamble? She blinked and asked me. I admit that I was cowardly at the last moment because I remembered the scene where Mr. Tam used his sickle to cut open the monster that attacked us. In addition, I didn’t think that her action would have any effect. God knows why that baby was about to die. Even if there was no blood transfusion, it most likely needed the blood of the tentacle and not some human blood. Therefore, I eventually acquiesced to her action.”
“We continued to run forward. In a short while, I heard the sound of panting coming from behind. In order to escape from this terrible place as soon as possible, I deliberately quickened my pace. As a woman, she was already at a physical disadvantage. She was still fooling around and connecting the umbilical cord to her body. It would be a miracle if she could feel better now. However, I did not stop because I felt that she had brought this upon herself. I would not pay for her willfulness.
“But after a while, I heard her breathing become more even, which surprised me a little. I thought she had finally thrown the umbilical cord away, but when I looked back, I found that she really did not have the umbilical cord on her body, because it was now on her husband’s body.
“Two lunatics! I cursed inwardly, but I could only helplessly accept this fact. Moreover, what I didn’t expect was that their purely desperate method actually worked. I could feel that the baby in the travel bag had actually recovered some of its vitality due to the blood infusion. This made my heart very uncomfortable, but I couldn’t care about this at that time because I felt that something in the city had come to life and was rapidly moving towards us.
“This time, I didn’t deliberately make things difficult for the Chinese couple behind me, but I knew that I had to speed up. Fortunately, we were not far from the ice path, but we still had to climb up the stone pillar. When we reached the last part of the path, the four of us began to sprint.
“And I saw that they all took out something called the old seal and put it on their bodies. I also took out the small stone. Today, it was my turn to wear it. Dr. Baker ran forward with his head in his hands. We almost used all our strength to rush back to the stone pillar before the things in the city. There was the rope we left behind.
“After that, we grabbed the rope and started to climb up. I saw a scene that made my head go numb. I saw many things that looked like octopus swarming towards us from all directions. I suddenly remembered that on the night of the last attack, I seemed to have seen their figures on the iceberg beside us. At that time, I thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me.
“These extremely ugly and terrifying things should be the natives of this city. “We only climbed about 20 meters before the first monster came in front of the stone pillar. I heard the Chinese couple shouting, ‘cut the rope!’! My brain paused for a moment. I didn’t understand what they meant. Didn’t we fall down just by cutting the rope? But then I realized that they wanted us to cut the rope under us to prevent the monsters from climbing up.”
“I did as they said, but we seemed to have underestimated the climbing ability of these aquatic creatures. They didn’t need any rope at all. They only needed to suck the tentacles filled with suction cups onto the stone pillar to climb up. Moreover, their speed was very fast. In just a short while, the first one had already approached the husband of the Chinese couple. He actually still had some strength left, but in order to protect his wife, he deliberately fell behind. When he saw the monster rush up, he took off the ring in his hand and threw it at the other party forcefully.
“He was lucky. The old mark carved with a tree branch hit the monster’s body, causing it to let go of its tentacle and fall off the stone pillar. However, it didn’t seem to be injured. However, this was still good news for us because it bought us some time. However, before we could be happy, we saw more monsters running out.
“When I saw them, I felt a sense of despair. This stone pillar was very high, and we had only climbed less than one-tenth of the way. There was no way we could get back to the ice path above our heads before them. Although the old seal seemed to have some effect on them, there were simply too many of them.
The doctor and I were scared silly. Although we were still climbing up, this was only an instinctive reaction of our bodies, because our minds had long been blank. Then, I saw two more monsters scuttle up the stone pillar, they were almost at the Chinese couple. They threw their necklaces out, but this time, they didn’t hit anything. So, the husband could only use his body to hug his wife tightly, seeing that they were about to be entangled by the tentacles, the next moment, the monsters stopped.
“I noticed that they seemed to be afraid of something. I didn’t think too much at that time. I just shouted and took the opportunity to continue climbing up. But before I could climb far, I was stopped by the Chinese couple behind me.”
