Meanwhile, Xiaoju... the little girl, kept running, shouting all the way:
"Outsiders are here! Outsiders are here!"
Her voice arrived before she did.
It soon drew a burly man out of a wooden house.
"Xiaoju! What did you say? Outsiders are here?"
"Yes! Outsiders are here! Right by the shore! There are loads of them! Lying all over the ground!"
The little girl, Xiaoju, described it animatedly.
The burly man seemed to have been tinkering with some machinery. Hearing this, he immediately ran out, even tripping and falling along the way.
But he paid no attention to the pain. He turned back, grabbed a submachine gun, and followed Xiaoju outside.
As they walked, he asked Xiaoju what the outsiders looked like.
"What do they look like? Have they... have they changed? Turned into something strange and misshapen?"
"No! They're actually pretty good-looking!"
Xiaoju said.
Half the burly man's anxiety immediately eased.
If Xiaoju could describe them as "pretty good-looking," they were probably human.
Not the strange, misshapen things that people turned into after being assimilated by the eerie.
"Are they all still unconscious?"
"Yeah! They're all unconscious!"
The two talked as they walked.
Then Xiaoju suddenly said, "Uncle Zheng and the others grabbed their harpoons. Looks like they all ran to the shore!"
"What?"
Hearing this, the burly man was momentarily speechless.
Those guys... they'd better not kill those people thinking they're monsters!
He ran toward the shore at a quick pace.
Meanwhile, down by the shore...
The middle-aged man leading the group approached the shore with the others.
As soon as he drew close, he saw what Yang Yong looked like...
Mang Dabiao was coiled around him, making it look as though a snake's head had grown out of Yang Yong's belly.
"Just as I thought... another monster!"
