Deep in the Living

Chapter 103 Instruments of Torture
"Rodi, do you need my help? I can also kill from a distance."

Anna, who was standing on the main road, witnessed what had just happened and saw the strange gas coming out of the dead cat's body. She roughly understood the characteristics of these wild cats and dogs.

Just as she was about to go forward to help, Rody raised his hand and motioned for her to wait.

Rody seemed to have a special idea. He locked his target on the next larger dead dog. After the previous contact, he had roughly figured out the "habits" of these wild cats and dogs.

This almost unconscious mutation product is a very good experimental material, which can be used to try out the new ability he just obtained from the Hell Torture Chamber.

This time,
Rody stopped when he was about three meters away. This distance would not activate the corpse.

Bend your knees and squat down.

While squatting, the five fingers of his left hand were fully spread out, with the palm about five centimeters from the ground.

Anna, who was not far away, was also watching this scene curiously, and had no idea what Rody was going to do.

Soon Anna saw something very strange.

"what is that?"

Although the street lights here are not very bright, the burning buses add a lot of brightness.

This allowed Anna to see clearly that there seemed to be some thin strips wriggling under the skin of the other party's so-called "bionic arm".

Now, the contents are slowly coming out.
"iron wire!?"

Anna thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes hard and looked again. Indeed, there were wires coming out of her skin, and they were barbed wires, which looked painful.

More and more wires came out and gradually wrapped around the entire left arm.

These iron wires finally converge in the palm area, and merge with the core iron wires that emerge from the palm.

Extend, weave, construct…

As the hot and yellow mist dissipated,
Anna's eyes widened as something that she couldn't understand was created.

"Beast Trap"

An old-fashioned animal trap, covered in scorch marks and wrapped with barbed wire, lies steadily on the ground.

"Is this Roddy's ability as a connector? To create some kind of trap?"

Anna's gaze gradually moved up along the arm covered with iron wires. When she looked at Rody's face again, she was so scared that she took a step back.

The other person's profile reflected in the firelight was filled with a slightly perverted smile. Even though the facial features did not change, Anna felt extremely unfamiliar.

Rody didn't care about the look Anna gave him at all. He was extremely excited.

This was the first time he used the hell power in his left arm that he had obtained from the torture chamber.

It's called "torture structure".

Although this ability is still in the early stages of development and cannot construct too many or too complex torture instruments, such animal traps are completely sufficient for Rody, a B-movie fan, and even far exceeded his expectations.

Looking at the sharp teeth between the trap clips, looking at the sharp barbed wire wrapped around the trap,

Rody's whole body was shaking slightly, and he couldn't wait to throw his prey into it.

The trap has been set.
Rody stood up and approached the dead dog in front of him.
As expected, the behavior patterns of these unconscious dead creatures were all the same. When they got within 1.5 meters, they would pounce suddenly, and their body surfaces were also covered with dense, thin blood vessels.

It was about to pounce on Rody's face,
Seize the opportunity and dodge sideways.

The dead dog, which missed its target, drew a perfect parabola in the air and landed accurately on the trap.

click!
The trap is triggered.

The saw teeth instantly penetrated the dead dog's body, pinning it firmly in place.

Not only that, the sharp barbed wire wrapped around the trap also cut the skin and pierced into the body of the dead dog,

It is obvious that this dead dog has no sense of pain and has even died a long time ago.

The trap transmitted a sense of pain to the dead dog. The dead dog struggled madly in pain, his eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets, and his tongue was bitten off by his teeth.

While feeling the pain, Rody lay down and observed the corpse creature as closely as possible, observing the tiny blood vessels coming out from under the skin. "The guy who created the nursing home also has the ability to "age" and "reshape corpses"... Even animal corpses can be used. If it was a human, it would be more dangerous.

The previous driver must have been a failure, that’s why he was allowed to drive even though his body was covered in bandages.”

Anna also slowly came over to observe together and gave her opinion:
"Perhaps aging and corpse transformation itself is a kind of ability? Once people in nursing homes die of old age, they will become something like zombies, a derivative form.

Those missing may have been transformed in the nursing home, and their strength is estimated to be comparable to that of immature pseudo-humans.

Moreover, these things have a kind of air hidden in their bodies... let's call it "death air". If we inhale it, we will probably age as well."

After a simple observation and analysis, the two men stood up and walked away from the dead dog trapped in a trap.

Anna was about to ask if she needed to throw the dead dog from a distance.

Luo Di squeezed hard with his left hand, and his fingers pulled the trap five meters away... Crack! The even greater closing force directly crushed the dead dog, leaving rotten meat all over the ground.

He never looked back or stopped during the whole process. These wild cats and dogs were neither a threat nor valuable to Rody.

"Let's go inside the nursing home and take a look. We just need to stay at least 1.5 meters away from the corpses. If we can't avoid them, we can kill them from a distance."

"Ah."

On the way to the nursing home building, Rody also had a worry.

According to the intelligence currently obtained, these dead bodies contain a gas that is suspected to cause aging, which will severely limit Roddy's "killing" ability and prevent him from performing the close combat that he is best at.

A solution must be found as soon as possible, otherwise subsequent exploration of nursing homes will be extremely dangerous.

As Rody clicked his tongue and entered a state of complete immersion in thought, he happened to pass by a street lamp, and in the light Anna caught a glimpse of something that made her uneasy.

"Rodi, wait!"

He grabbed Rody's shoulder and pulled him!
Two white hairs that were connected together were pulled out.

Luo Di also turned his head to look at the white hair that could not possibly appear on his head.
Just as he frowned slightly, Anna noticed that there was a not-so-obvious crow's feet at the corner of Rody's eyes.

"Rodi, you seem to be aging..."

Rody also noticed that Anna had two white hairs on her head, which were not so obvious because the surrounding hair was all blonde.

"Even if I don't inhale the gas from the dead body, will simply stepping into this corner-like space accelerate aging?"

"A pseudo-human of the space and curse type!"

Anna came to a rather grim conclusion.

"It looks like we need to speed up."

……

Just after they officially entered the nursing home building,

In a dark, unlit area of ​​the front yard wall, a familiar pair of cloth shoes stepped out.

Yu Ze yawned and walked out slowly. There was no sense of crisis on his face. He felt the lingering heat in the air and came to the location of the trap.

These traps were created not to last forever and are currently disappearing rapidly, but some still remain.

Yu Ze squatted down.

He ignored the crushed dead dog and reached out to touch the surface of the trap.

Even though the spikes did not pierce his skin, he still felt a sharp pain, forcing him to pull his hand away suddenly.

"Why is the smell of sulfur different from the hell described in the books? What's going on with this pain? Is the world this guy is connected to really hell?

Or is it some more distant, more primitive hell-like world?
The world is very deep... deeper than expected, and the nature of the world is worse than expected.

My fellow countryman, can you maintain your self under the influence of this world? Don't degenerate. It's not easy to meet such a powerful and young fellow countryman. I don't want to kill you with my own hands. "
