Alien Dust

Chapter 371 Firefly Shelter
It was getting dark.

The small team led by Wu Hen basically gained nothing.

They had no choice but to go to the warden. The warden was knowledgeable and wise. He must have known the history of the entire town and the origin of the evil spirit. He was already waiting for them in a safe shelter sprinkled with salt and hung with crosses, roasting meat...

But as expected, the accident still happened.

"We can't find the way back." Cheng Liang said with a smile.

"It's normal to be trapped in a maze. If the evil spirits don't have the ability to change the topography and make a space fall into a dead maze, I would look down on such evil spirits." Wu Hen said.

"I said we can't separate!"

At the beginning, they were full of confidence and felt that they were different from those wanderers.

As a result, they soon ran around the town like headless flies, finding no food, no safe shelter, and no information about the evil spirits here.

As night fell, the disturbing creatures had not yet appeared, but they had already begun to express their fears to each other. Some said that they should quickly split up and collect supplies while there was still some time, some said that they would just stay in one room and not go anywhere, and some said that they would hang out with those vagrants to share the danger.

Wu Hen thought it would be wisest to spread the danger, so he decisively found a gathering place for vagrants.

The wanderers all brought their own tents. They seemed very experienced. Even if they were to live in a house with a lot of age, they had to set up a tent...

The sun had completely set and the swamp grew darker.

As he walked, Wu Hen saw a swamp mangrove growing out of a brick house. During the day, the swamp mangrove had a very bright luster, which was very suitable for making mahogany furniture, showing its nobleness. But at night, the bark of the mahogany seemed to be splashed with a thick layer of blood plasma. Whenever he looked to the side, he would always have the illusion that it was bleeding!
"There are fireflies!" Wu Hen was not concerned about the bleeding swamp tree, but saw the little bugs glowing with a faint light.

"Where? Why can't we see it?" The prison guards looked in the direction Wu Hen said, but only saw the bleeding swamp trees.

Seeing the other people looking confused, Wu Hen immediately realized that he was a visually awakened person and had reached the fourth level. He could see some soul light. He was the only one who could see the fireflies that were invisible to the naked eye.

"Using these fireflies to fill a closed space can resist evil spirits, right?" Wu Hen recalled the method used by the little girl Su Li. Even if the evil spirits outside have become an army, as long as the closed space is filled with the light of fireflies, it will be a perfect shelter!

"We don't know...it's not mentioned in the book." said Hu Lu.

"Bai Luobo, why did your voice become a little shrill? You look very nervous." Cheng Liang said.

"Listen to me, collect these fireflies immediately. I'll tell you where they are. You can use clothes, your hands, or any other method!" Wu Hen said seriously.

Of course his voice would become shrill.

After reaching the fourth level of spiritual vision, Wu Hen could already see the soul light of evil spirits!
As night fell, ghost lights appeared throughout the evil spirit town. They were like human heads burning in the underworld fire, floating above the town’s buildings like festive balloons, and staring at the living people in the town.

The number of will-o'-the-wisp heads is staggering, it's completely a ghost town. What's more terrifying is that there are dark figures wandering in the surrounding swamps. The swamp is silent during the day, but at night it seems to have become a kingdom of ghosts!
These evil spirits cannot be measured by realm.

But in their current condition, any angry evil spirit could easily take their lives.

This night is destined to be extremely terrifying!
"There are several in the tree."

"There are a few on the eaves..."

"Hurry up and catch them. Whether we can survive tonight depends on these little guys!"

Wu Hen thought that the method used by his aunt was known to all the people of Daxuan.

But now it seems that she is obviously different from the ordinary people in Daxuan. Back then, in that terrible evil city, she escaped with a group of people without any extraordinary abilities...

Zai Wu is obviously not an ordinary Tian Mang.

It just happened to meet Xiaoyi.

"Is this enough?" Prison guard Wang Sheng is an expert at catching people.

A single firefly cannot be seen with the naked eye, but when several fireflies are gathered together, their faint light becomes obvious. At first, the other prison guards thought they were catching air, until Wang Sheng, a prison guard from Huaguo Village, caught several and held them in his empty palms.

"Very good. Let's quickly find a closed place to ensure that the fireflies will not fly out. At the same time, the light can fill the internal space. It doesn't matter whether it is transparent or not." Wu Hen said.

There were just enough fireflies.

The next step is to find a suitable shelter.

Wu Hen remembered that they had previously hidden in carriages and subways, which were highly enclosed places.

But most of the houses in this town are damaged, and some don't even have a roof, so it is quite difficult to find a decent shelter.

"It won't work if there are trees around." Hu Lu specifically reminded everyone.

"The relatively intact ones have been occupied by other wanderers." Cheng Liang said helplessly.

“They didn’t welcome us very much.”

The clothes they wore were different from those of the wanderers. Although there were no obvious signs of Eagle City, it was obvious that they were also backed by the power of the living town. The wanderers were very wary of them, even hostile, and felt that they were the ones who destroyed their homes.

"Then we can only go back to the workbench garage of that cheating man." Wu Hen said.

"Okay, there are some tools there that can seal the damaged area... By the way, Bai Luobo, what did you see?" Cheng Liang asked. "It's better for you not to know." Wu Hen stared at Cheng Liang.

Cheng Liang nodded, vaguely feeling that Wu Hen didn't look at him directly.

But he didn't care too much and immediately returned with the others.

Of course Wu Hen didn't look at him straight in the eye, because Cheng Liang was standing next to a disheveled head just now. The head was still in the soul light state and had not condensed into a physical body. But one could imagine that the disheveled head was already sniffing the scent of Cheng Liang, the young hunk...

After nightfall, other people would see a terrifying scene of floating heads all over the town.

Fortunately, there were no obstacles on the way back.

Everyone quickly went into the garage with a workbench.

Broken wood, iron sheets, sunshades, plastic, and newspapers can all be used as wall tiles as long as they can fill and cover the damaged areas.

"This rolling door won't come down!"

The biggest loophole in the garage is the rolling door, and they can't find enough materials to seal the entire door right now.

"Here is some solid glue. Let's remove the glass in this house and glue them together to make a glass wall." Cheng Liang said.

It's getting dark.

Several people could already see something floating with their naked eyes. Their hair stood on end. They thought the evil spirits here were rather shy, but they never expected that they had been floating in the entire town, then quietly staring at them, the intruders, and quietly waiting for dark.

After removing all the glass in the house, everyone started to do glass jigsaw puzzles on the workbench. Finally, they built a whole glass wall. Where there were gaps and cracks, they covered them with newspapers and cloth!

"Release fireflies." Wu Hen said immediately.

"There's still a gap!"

"There's no time, take off your clothes and cover it up!" Wu Hen was the first to take off his clothes and cover the gap.

When Wu Hen shouted this, the temperature around him dropped suddenly, as if a cold air suddenly hit him, and then a number of hideous ghost fire heads appeared around him!
Blood was constantly flowing from the bottom of their necks. Although their faces were not particularly hideous, they were extremely pale, like people who had just died not long ago. There was obviously no life left, but that face still contained all the pain and resentment of their previous life!

"Oh my God!" The other prison guards were so scared when they saw this scene that their hair stood on end.

Everyone hurriedly took off their clothes, even the female prison guard Hu Lu didn't care about that and took off everything except her underwear. Then she covered the leaking wall on the side with one hand and held the glass that might fall off with the other hand!
The others did the same thing, using their hands and feet and their clothes to cover the gaps, holes, and holes to prevent the fireflies from flying out, and also trying to use this method to block the evil spirits outside.

The dim light of fireflies illuminated the dilapidated garage. The five people, including Wu Hen, looked like art sculptures, posing in various strange postures against the four walls.

Because the garage door is made of glass, they can see the scene on the town streets through the glass...

Just across the street, a homeless man hiding in a mangrove house was holding a stick, trying to fight the evil spirit with it.

But there were several heads stuck on the branches of the mangrove tree. They looked like red grapefruits growing on the tree, but their necks were still bleeding. The bright red blood flowed down the trunk, painting the bark deep red!

"what!!!!!"

Miserable cries came from the red tree house across the street. They witnessed with their own eyes that stupid homeless man being eaten...

The only parts of the homeless man that were eaten were his limbs and torso.

The head was preserved intact and was placed on the dining table by the evil spirit, like a tribute on the stove.

After watching the whole process, the female prison guard Hu Lu did not vomit, but the young prison guard Cheng Liang could not bear it first.

His hands and feet were a little unbalanced, and the hole covered by his hat was tilted, allowing some evil wind to leak in.

"Do you want to die!" Hu Lu cursed.

"I'm sorry." Cheng Liang adjusted it hastily, enduring the discomfort and adjusting the angle of the hat.

"Whoever can move, come over and stick our clothes and hats on the gaps. We can't keep doing this all night." Wu Hen said.

"I should be able to move." Wang Sheng said.

Wang Sheng had glue in his hands. After he stuck his clothes to the wall, he was able to move around. He then walked to other people and helped them stick their clothes to the wall so that everyone didn't have to maintain that weird posture.

But just when Wang Sheng helped Wu Hen free his body, a red grapefruit head floated up without warning and hovered behind Wang Sheng, like a person who had just woken up...

"Shh!" Wu Hen immediately put his finger to his mouth and made a gesture to silence him.

Wang Sheng also felt the chill, his body stiffening and not moving.

The others also stayed close to the wall and turned their heads over here, but what scared them to death was that there was a ghost head floating in the garage! !

"It's the man of this house. We are in his garage." Wu Hen lowered his voice and told others.
