The man who had lost his lower body covered the shocking broken wound on his waist with his hands, and large mouthfuls of bright red blood kept spurting out of his mouth, as if he wanted to spray out all the blood in his body.
However, even in such a tragic situation, he was still struggling tenaciously as he had not yet completely died.
But in just a blink of an eye, he was firmly clamped by the mantis's two giant, hook-like blade arms and mercilessly sent into its mouth. With a crisp sound, the man's head was bitten to pieces in an instant.
The man who died tragically was exactly the "Uncle Li" who was urgently called in the earlier clear shouts.
The freezing cold rain fell heavily on Jiang Tong's delicate face like dense arrows. However, compared with the coldness her body was enduring, the coldness deep in her heart was even more terrifying.
They were already out of breath from the mutant mantis that was chasing them relentlessly. They fought back while running away, running through dozens of streets.
Jiang Tong really couldn't understand it. Along the way, there were obviously many zombies on both sides of the road for this ferocious mantis to feast on, but it just kept biting him and his companions.
Originally, the purpose of their venture out of the city was to search for clues of a mutated zombie.
It is said that the mutated zombie was extremely cruel and powerful. In a short period of time, it killed many innocent survivors who went out of the capital base to find survival supplies.
It just so happened that this time it was their turn to carry out the mission of searching outside the city, and the instructions given to them by their superiors were only to find the whereabouts of the mutant zombie, send out a distress signal in time, and wait for the arrival of the support team from the rear.
Who could have expected that today's weather would suddenly change, with heavy rain pouring down without any warning.
In desperation, they had to hurriedly rush into a nearby building to avoid the sudden rainstorm.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the building, the scene before them made them dumbfounded - the interior of the entire building seemed to have been chopped open by an extremely sharp giant blade, and the space seemed particularly spacious and open, as if it had been widened intentionally.
Considering that many of the mutated creatures now are gigantic, an inexplicable fear suddenly surged in their hearts, and their intuition told them that it was not advisable to stay here for long.
So the two of them made a prompt decision and quickly evacuated the building which was filled with a strange atmosphere, preparing to find a relatively safe and reliable place to take shelter from the wind and rain.
But who would have thought that they had not run far when this huge mutant mantis rushed out of the building like a ghost, pounced towards them with its fangs and claws bared, and followed closely behind them from beginning to end, with no intention of giving up the chase.
Although they injured it, it not only did not run away, but instead seemed to be relentless in pursuit.
Now, Uncle Li has died tragically in the mouth of the mantis, and Uncle Hou still wants her to take Li Feier away first. She feels very uneasy and doesn't want to do such a thing as abandoning her teammates.
It's the end of the world. We should be a little cold-blooded and selfish, and do our best to survive.
But she really couldn't abandon Uncle Hou, who treated them like his nieces. Recalling the long months of survival together, Uncle Hou had always taken meticulous care of them, the younger generations. No matter whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation, or dealing with various dangerous situations, Uncle Hou was always at the front without hesitation to protect them.
How could she bear it?
"Fei'er! Run first! Go back to the base quickly to ask for support. Uncle Hou and I are enough here!" Jiang Tong shouted loudly.
"No, Sister Tong, I'm not afraid of death! Let me stay and stand shoulder to shoulder with you..."
Li Feier's voice was tearful, her eyes were wide open, and her face was full of water droplets, and it was hard to tell whether they were tears or rain.
At this moment, she was full of self-blame, hating herself for being so weak that she didn't even have the qualifications to stay behind to cover the retreat.
"Stop talking nonsense! If we all die here, it will be meaningless! Let's go!" Jiang Tong shouted angrily, interrupting Li Feier's words.
Li Feier bit her lips tightly, until they turned blue and white and bleeding, her eyes were blood red and her body was shaking slightly.
She knew that she couldn't continue to be willful at this time, otherwise it would only bring more trouble to everyone.
"Okay, Sister Tong, you must wait for me to come back! I will definitely bring people to rescue you! Definitely!" Li Feier shouted with all her strength, then turned around suddenly, and her slender but determined figure quickly blended into the vast rain.
Jiang Tong took a deep breath, tightly gripped the spear in his hand, and stared at Uncle Hou and Xu Lei who were fighting fiercely in front of him.
The giant mantis brandished its extremely sharp scimitar and chopped towards Xu Lei's head with great momentum.
At the critical moment, Xu Lei ducked and dodged narrowly, but because he was carrying a heavy backpack on his back, his movements seemed a little awkward, and he staggered to the side.
Seeing this, Jiang Tong picked up the spear without hesitation, exerted force on his feet, and rushed towards the battlefield like an arrow.
There was only a loud "bang" sound, followed by a "crash" sound.
The mantis swung its extremely sharp sword, but missed Xu Lei who dodged it, but instead hit the towering building nearby.
The terrifying force instantly cut a huge, bottomless scar into the solid building.
As the knife marks appeared, a large amount of cement and gravel flew up like raindrops, then fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, which was then quickly pressed down by the rain.
At this moment, Hou Cheng, who had been observing the situation, seized this excellent opportunity and ran quickly behind the mantis without hesitation.
He tightly grasped the long knife in his hand, which was shining with cold light. When he approached the mantis, Hou Cheng used all his strength to stab the long knife into the mantis's abdomen, and then slashed it with force, instantly cutting a long gash in its abdomen.
A colorless liquid gushed out from the huge wound, splashing all over Hou Cheng's body.
The mantis, which was hit so hard, suddenly shook, and its huge body suddenly turned around because of anger.
The big blood-red eyes on the triangular head stared fiercely at the tiny reptile in front of it, revealing endless anger and murderous intent.
In the blink of an eye, the thick shell on the wings on the mantis's back that was originally tightly closed suddenly opened without warning and hit Hou Cheng heavily.
This sudden change left Hou Cheng with no time to react. In the blink of an eye, he was knocked away by the powerful impact.
Hou Cheng's body was like a cannonball, smashing the glass door of a nearby store, then flew into the house and became motionless.
"Uncle Hou!"
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tong couldn't help but scream and rushed towards the mantis faster.
