Chapter 7 Striking the West Again

These fire phosphors are afraid of the midday sun.

If you are afraid of the sun, how can you not be afraid of high temperatures?

It is also possible ...... What changes they produce at midday causes them to be afraid of the temperature only at this time.

Therefore, I cannot rule out the speculation that they are not afraid of high temperatures!

Also, fire phosphors climb on the corpses of dead people and control these corpses to knock on the door in the middle of the night, why?

What's the point of doing that?

Knocking on the door seems to be all about attracting attention!

I've learned once that these damn bugs are going to make noise.

In the entire basement, the only place it could get into it was the smoke exhaust pipes!

Guan Zixuan said that they would block the smoke exhaust pipes every time they finished a fire, but if these bugs really weren't afraid of the heat......

That's horrible!

It's horrible!

A cold sweat broke out on my back.

"Zixuan, we have to find a way to go back!I'm afraid the basement is not safe!" I said.

"It's not safe?" you mean...... Could it be that they are really not afraid of fire?" her expression changed.

I didn't have time to prepare, so I pulled her and ran again!

I can only bet now that these phosphors aren't fast enough!

I have a cocoon in my hand, and the fire phosphor insects dare not come near me, and there will definitely be no insects around when I open the door.

I was afraid that some kind of "scout bug" would sneak in the moment I closed the door, so I didn't go back to the basement.

But now it is clear that something more dangerous awaits us!

I can't care about that much!

I can only bet that there are no bugs like that, that no bugs will dare to do that!

Even if it did, I'd bet it wasn't that fast!

They've been hiding in stealth, and we don't know exactly how fast!

It's always been just that we subjectively think it's fast, but what if it's not?

I bet they're not as fast as I am!

I pulled Guan Zixuan and rushed all the way to the iron door in the basement, telling the people inside to open the door, and the speed must be fast!

It was Uncle Wang who opened the door.

Almost in a matter of seconds, open the door, enter the door, close the door, and we entered the basement without a hitch!

After a while, everyone under Guan Zixuan's organization quieted down, and silence returned to the surroundings, only in such an environment can there be a chance to discover them!

After five minutes, I breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hear that rustle, we should be safe for now!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This basement is currently the only paradise in the village, and it is the final destination of the villagers.

If something goes wrong here, it will be even more difficult in the future.

I sat in a corner of the basement and watched these busy villagers.

They are happy now, some are cooking, some are helping to dig new holes, some are sitting and chattering, and some are planting vegetables.

Of course, there is only one vegetable grown here - leeks.

Other vegetables are hard to grow in a shady basement.

A total of 12 people were killed in Zhongyang Village, and some people had planned to escape, but without exception, as long as they stepped out of the village, they would be killed by insects!

Later, Guan Zixuan came up with a way to hide in the basement and organized the villagers to move all the surplus food into the basement.

Within a day, the entire village had taken refuge in the basement and began digging deep into the ground, opening up a lot of dormitories.

In the other corner there is a table with a lamp on top of it.

This is the only electrical appliance that works in the basement because bugs have destroyed all the wires.

They still had generators to use for the first few months, but when they ran out of oil, they became decorations.

This place has a special geographical location, surrounded by mountains, stretching for more than ten kilometers and full of mountains, it is a very closed place.

Outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

I glanced at the old man reading in the corner, who was concentrating on his book and didn't notice me.

"So, you guessed wrong!" At this time, Guan Zixuan came over with a plate of beans.

"It's best to guess wrong!" I looked at her and smiled.

She went back and got a glass of water and another box of cold medicine.

"You have a cold?" I asked.

"No, but I just went out once, just in case, I can't afford to get sick now!" she smiled.

I thought to myself, I can still take cold medicine like this?

"Then you should drink plenty of hot water. I said lightly.

"Poof!"

I didn't expect this sentence to make her react so much, and the water she drank into it squirted out.

I handed her a tissue, but she didn't answer it, and said to me in a serious voice: "Big brother, you must not say these four words to girls in the future!"

Why is that?

I asked her and she didn't say anything.

At this moment, a picture flashed through my mind, a picture of disharmony! I must have seen something strange just now!

I looked again where I had just looked, but I couldn't find anything strange!

"Do you think there's anything weird?" I asked Guan Zixuan.

"Weird? No. ”

I carefully recall everything I have just seen, every picture I have seen, and I can't remember what is strange.

I scanned the basement again.

This time I finally knew what was weird!

It's the old man who reads the book!

"Well, let me ask you, who is that old man?" I pointed to the old man.

"He's a primary school teacher, he used to teach me for a year, and then he transferred to teach other classes, and now he's retired!"

As she spoke, she grabbed a handful of beans and stuffed them into her mouth and asked me if I would eat them, and I said no.

"He's got a problem!" I said.

I just felt that this picture was a little discordant, but I can't say where it is discordant.

Now if you take a closer look, you can find a clue!

He's not reading a book, he's reading a book!

I noticed that he was very regular every time he turned the page, almost every few seconds.

At first, I didn't feel anything, but if you look closely, you can see that this kind of movement is too mechanical!

This is simply not what a normal person should behave when reading a book!

After I explained, Guan Zixuan also carefully observed the old man.

The more she observed, the more horrified her expression became!

"How long has it been since he spoke?" I asked.

"Uh...... It seems like it's been a long time, but I don't usually notice it. Her voice became a little smaller, probably due to shock and fear.

"Don't look at him, if he's already been controlled by bugs, bugs can sense our abnormality"

Hearing my reminder, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

"What to do?" she said in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Aren't you smarter than me? ”

I said it suddenly.

It may not be appropriate to say this at this time, but I personally feel that it can distract her from it.

At least not much judgment is lost.

"Okay, don't talk about this at this time, let's find a way!" she frowned.

It's better to be angry than to be afraid.

I glanced at the "man".

He's supposed to be here for a while, but why is he lurking?

What does he want to do?
