Chapter 64 Body
The branches kept slapping on Charles' face, but his eyes were fixed on the back of 096 in front of him.
The intricate branches couldn't stop the strengthened bodies of the two of them, stretching and jumping from tree to tree.
"Hahahaha!!!" 096 laughed wildly without interruption.
"Brother, you can't run like this. The speed of the two of us is the same. God knows where he will take us if we continue to run." Richard rang in his mind.
"Don't talk nonsense, of course I know!"
Charles kicked hard on a tree trunk with both feet, and the revolver in his hand had already been replaced with bullets. This time, he didn't aim at Zha 096's vital point, but directly aimed at his lower limbs.
"Touch!" The gunshot rang out, sawdust splashed, and a piece of the bark next to 096's right leg was chipped off by the bullet.
With the fast running and various tree trunks, even though Charles has amazing eyesight, it is very difficult to aim now.
"I'll run, you'll shoot." Richard took control of part of his body.
The gunshot rang out again, and after several consecutive empty rounds, blood burst out on 096's left leg, and his leg was hit.
The body was still running with its legs turned, but its speed slowed down.
Charles jumped up like a cheetah, and with a sharp flick of the black blade in his hand, his head flew into the air.
Regardless of the corpse that was still spurting blood, Charles activated the tentacle ring, and the transparent tentacles quickly rolled the head over.
Then when he looked at the face of the head, his black pupils shrank slightly.
This body is not that of any of their crew, and it should be hanging on it. The 096 clown mask has disappeared at some point and replaced it with a terrifying face
The place where the head should have eyes, nose and mouth is empty, only four dark perfect round holes are left. It looks like a skeleton but has some kind of weirdness.
Charles turned his head and looked around the woods, but found no trace of the mask. It was obvious that the mask escaped at some point during the chase.
"Dude, is that mask a new trick? Can it even eat the host's facial features?"
"I don't know, let's go back and talk about it first, so as not to transfer the tiger away from the mountain."
Charles didn't delay any longer, wrapped the corpse around the corpse with the tentacle ring and returned quickly.
When he returned to the ruins and saw James' huge body next to the campfire, all the crew members woke up.
Seeing that his captain was back, the crew rushed forward one after another. Charles quickly nodded his head. After comparing with the cloth strip on his shoulder, he found that his crew was not short, and this body was not one of them.
"Is this corpse a native of this city?"
The aborigines on the island have all kinds of strange looks, and Charles is not sure.
After thinking for a few seconds, Charles took the corpse to the doctor who was treating him.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, the doctor continued to connect the injured man's wound without turning his head. "Don't worry, most of the broken trachea are choked to death by their own blood. As long as I'm here, they won't die."
Charles looked at the second officer, Kenona, who was lying on the ground. A tube the size of his little finger was inserted into his Adam's apple, making a slight whistling sound as he exhaled and inhaled.
The doctor turned to look at his captain. "How are you doing? Did you catch that thing?"
"It ran away, but I brought back his host. See if there are any clues on it."
"Hmph, it's not easy being your ship's doctor."
Looking at the corpse on the ground, the doctor twisted the little finger on the iron hand, and a sharp scalpel popped out instantly.
While the doctor was dissecting the corpse, Charles touched the black clothing on the corpse with his hands. The tentacles were very smooth, a bit like a diving swimsuit, but the clothing seemed to be aging, and it began to tear under Charles' light tug.
"There are no clues on the clothes." Charles looked at the ghoul-like doctor beside him.
"Huh? That's impossible!" The doctor's doubts sounded.
"What's wrong?"
"Come and see for yourself, there are no internal organs in his stomach, are you sure this thing can just move?"
After hearing this, Charles also squatted down on the corpse, opening the incision made by the doctor with his hands.
It was found that it was really empty, there were no organs that should have existed in the chest and abdomen of this thing.
He was pretty sure the thing was still alive when he chopped off its head.
"I'm more concerned about who made this thing. Look here and touch it with your hands to see."
The doctor's hand penetrated into the black hole of the skull and turned around.
"There are no scars inside, and the healing is very complete. Even I can't do this kind of thing. If this body is artificial, it is simply a perfect work of art."
Finding that there was nothing to gain, Charles clapped his hands in disappointment and stood up.
The corpse didn't help except to make him more confused.
At this time, there was no sleepiness on the faces of the crew members, they all stared at him in unison, waiting for the captain's next order.
"You can't sleep, can you? Then let's go on."
Lily, who was holding half a piece of bread in her hand, walked up to him and said anxiously, "Mr. Charles, what if that thing still comes?"
A cold light flashed in Charles' eyes, "Don't worry, there will be no next time."
Hearing the captain's order, everyone began to prepare things, and there was constant noise in the temporary camp.
"Big man, put away your socks, why did they run into my bag?"
"Damn it, who saw my jug!"
Although the ruins are not easy to walk, they are much better than the woods. Charles and the others stood up and continued to move forward.
At this time, Charles was not idle, and quickly drew a sticky map of the island on the notebook in his hand.
He led the crew to quickly move towards the center of the island. Since there are traces of human life on this island, the center of the island is the most likely to obtain valuable information.
The white shadow flashed behind the ruins of the crowd, and 096, who was crawling in the darkness, once again controlled a body, staring viciously at Charles' back.
On the second night, Charles had already explored more than half of the island. Except for the sudden activation of 096, there was nothing unusual about this island, as if it was an ordinary island.
In an open space that has been cleared, except for the night watch crew, everyone else is sleeping.
Dipper watched the bonfire in front of him enjoying his future. "If I become a man in the heart of the island, then I will marry 10 wives! And one of them must be a vampire."
"Can you stand it?" Chef Frey interjected next to him
"Why can't you stand it?"
"Forget it, when you get off the boat this time, I'll take you to a place and you'll know."
"I won't go. It was because of you that I was caught by a vampire last time."
Dipper's shadow was illuminated for a long time by the light of the bonfire, blending into the darkness beyond the firelight.
096 held a rusty blade in his hand, his limbs crawled like a spider, and he approached silently along the shadow.
