The light of the incandescent lamp overhead was extremely dazzling, and Li Qing followed behind Jiang Demao, walking briskly through the long corridor, and finally stopped in front of a silver-white round metal door.

"I've never been here, the underground experimental station of the general command post has a lot of top-secret projects. Wiping the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, Jiang Demao grinned at Li Qing, and then pressed a red button by the door. He leaned his head close to the surveillance camera embedded in the wall, and said in a deep voice, "The head of the Li family has brought it." ”

"Roger. ”

After this voice fell, the metal door slowly opened, and Jiang Demao beckoned at Li Qing and walked in.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment, walked in with a heavy heart, looked up slightly, and saw Qin Zhenyu walking out from behind a door and walking quickly towards him.

Before Li Qing could look at the overall structure of this underground experimental station, he was grabbed by Qin Zhenyu's arm quite familiarly and walked inside.

"Is your face so ugly?" Qin Zhenyu glanced at Li Qing lightly and said with a smile, "It's really a little late, but I still have something to do tomorrow, so I can only grieve you." People like me work overtime every day, but they don't have overtime pay, and you can also experience the hardships. ”

Li Qinggan laughed, and gently broke away from Qin Zhenyu's hand that grabbed his arm: "I still don't know, what is the matter with you calling me so late." ”

Since he is confused, it is better to get straight to the point, this is what Li Qing thinks at the moment. Qin Zhenyu tonight was a little too enthusiastic, Li Qing agreed that he didn't have such a deep friendship, and it was inevitable that he would have doubts in his heart.

"You haven't told him yet?" Qin Zhenyu turned his head, looked at Jiang Demao diagonally behind, and immediately smiled: "Demao, this person is too careful in doing things. ”

There was not the slightest reproach in those words, but a little more appreciation.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, so you don't need to worry about it at all. Qin Zhenyu rubbed his hands and opened the door in front of him first, "I want you to help recognize someone." ”

Li Qing's eyelids jumped fiercely: "Recognize people?"

"Well, we don't have a way to identify them, so guess you'll know each other. Qin Zhenyu turned around to look at Li Qing, at this time, the experimenters had already come up and put on protective clothing for him.

Li Qing chuckled: "Since you can't even identify you, it's just a waste of time to come to me." ”

"Not necessarily, it's an old acquaintance of yours. ”

Jiang Demao stayed outside, and Li Qing also put on protective clothing with the help of the experimenters, and after disinfecting his whole body, he followed Qin Zhenyu through a narrow corridor, and finally walked through the glass sliding door and into a laboratory.

There were still seven or eight people in the laboratory, and Qin Zhenyu's arrival did not cause them the slightest disturbance, at most, he glanced at it lightly, and then lowered his head again and went about his own business.

Taking a light breath, Qin Zhenyu put his two hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "That's the case, at about three o'clock in the morning today, when Demao was searching the forest area near Lion Rock, he found a suspicious man lying on the grass and convulsing. At that time, the man was not dead, and Demao called me to report it as soon as he found out, and at my behest he sent experimenters to take the man back to Xinwan, and he died on the way back to Xinwan at 2:35 p.m. this afternoon. ”

Li Qing's face was weird, listening to Qin Zhenyu talk about this, anyone could sense that something was wrong.

Before Li Qing could ask, Qin Zhenyu waved his hand at him first: "I know you don't quite understand what I mean, just take a look at it." ”

When the words fell, Qin Zhenyu nodded to a young experimenter beside him: "Xiao Wu, show him." ”

The experimenter nodded, turned around and pressed a light blue button on one console.

From the pure white wall, a closed transparent glass tube with a diameter of nearly one meter was slowly pushed out, and a corpse was lying inside.

To say that it is a corpse is actually more like a puddle of flesh.

Li Qing suddenly changed color, his body staggered back uncontrollably, and he gasped fiercely before he finally stopped his figure.

In the transparent high-strength glass tube, dense worms wriggled around the corpse that had long been out of shape, which couldn't help but make people's scalps tingle and a strange nausea gushing from their stomachs. The worms appeared to be underage, and their bodies were still pale yellow, with only a few showing a slight flush.

If you don't have it, it's hard to imagine what it's like to be here. It's like being faced with a dead body full of maggots, except that the dense worms need to be magnified many times before they can compete with the worms in front of you.

"Enough. Qin Zhenyu waved his hand with disgust, this veteran who was used to life and death on the battlefield was also disgusted.

The young experimenter next to him nodded slightly, pressed the button, and pushed the clear glass tube back.

"These insects are very powerful, if it weren't for high-strength glass, they wouldn't be able to stop them at all. Qin Zhenyu said lightly, "Have you ever seen this kind of thing when you were underground?"

Li Qing's face turned blue for a while, and he immediately replied, "Worm." ”

"Well, that's good. Qin Zhenyu nodded with satisfaction, "This thing is also known as the Death Worm, and there is a saying that it lives in the desert and eats carrion corpses for a living. However, it has been just a legend for a long time, and I didn't expect to find my true body in Longxi. We are also doing further research and there will be a lot of interesting results. ”

Li Qing said: "They are very fecund, they will lay eggs in living people, and hatch with the help of the temperature of the human body. ”

"We already know that. Qin Zhenyu said, "During our transportation, two soldiers were unfortunately bitten. It stands to reason that these are not adults yet, but they also have the ability to reproduce, which is incredible..."

His face changed, and Li Qing hurriedly said: "The Hakka people have a way to deal with this kind of worm, and the incense ash they worship the mountain god Niangniang can be dissolved by mixing it with water and drinking it." ”

"Hmm. Qin Zhenyu nodded slightly, not as if he didn't care much about this.

Li Qing's body suddenly stiffened, and then he took a step back, staring at Qin Zhenyu coldly: "What do you want to do!"

Qin Zhenyu was also slightly stunned, then smiled, stepped forward and patted Li Qing on the shoulder: "You think too much, this thing does have great research value, but I am not going to risk my own soldiers." The reason why I didn't pay attention to your words just now is because the eggs of worms can be killed with ultraviolet light, and they don't use the earthwork of the natives. ”

Hearing Qin Zhenyu say this, Li Qing's whole person was like a deflated ball, and he finally put his mind at ease.

"Well, it's not free to visit you today. This corpse has been changed beyond recognition, and Da Luo Jinxian can't make out his true face, but fortunately I still have a few photos here, taken when Demao first found him. Qin Zhenyu smiled and took the folder from the experimenter's hand and unfolded it, and then handed it to Li Qing, "Although the face is hideous, compared to the scene just now, it is undoubtedly much better." ”

Li Qing took the result folder from Qin Zhenyu's hand, looked down at the picture sandwiched in with a small clip, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

"Westerners, right. Qin Zhenyu asked with a smile.

The photo shows an old Western man with gray hair and wrinkles. The pale cheeks were bruised, blue and purple, bulging out high, as if something was hiding inside, and it was impatient to burst out.

Li Qing stared at the wrinkled and painful face in the photo, and a strange color slowly appeared in his eyes.

Qin Zhenyu saw that Li Qing was speechless for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know?"

"Recognize. Li Qing nodded, "One of the three leaders of the Blood Skeleton, Ram." ”

With a slight raising of his eyebrows, Qin Zhenyu smiled: "So, or your superior?"

"It used to be. Li Qing did not shy away from it at all, and replied directly.

"Understood, thanks, you can go. Qin Zhenyu nodded, gently pulled the folder back from Li Qing's hand, and then ordered the young experimenter beside him, "Send Mr. Li out." ”

Li Qing was preoccupied, and he had no intention of staying here longer, he didn't even have the heart to say hello to Qin Zhenyu, so he walked out of the laboratory under the guidance of the young experimenter, took off his lab coat after disinfection, and walked out.

Jiang Demao was waiting outside, and when he saw Li Qing, he couldn't help but smile on his face: "Master Li, come with me, I'll send you back." ”

"Hmm. Li Qing replied in a deep voice, left the experimental station with Jiang Demao, got into the car again, and left the general command post.

"It's kind of scary, isn't it? I didn't think there was such a thing in the world. Jiang Demao seemed to want to break the dull atmosphere, and said with a smile. But Li Qing looked out of the car window, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't listen to Jiang Demao at all.

Pouting, Jiang Demao had no choice but to shut up, and the carriage fell into an awkward silence again.

"What time is it?" Li Qing suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Jiang Demao, who had almost fallen asleep, suddenly woke up and looked at the watch on his wrist, "It's past eleven o'clock, I'm really sorry, tossing so late and delaying your time." ”

Li Qing raised his finger and pointed: "Stop at the intersection in front." ”

Jiang Demao was slightly stunned: "This is two streets away from the hospital." ”

"I know. Li Qing nodded, "Stop, my mind is a little messy, I want to go down and walk." ”

"Good, good. Jiang Demao nodded again and again, and when the off-road vehicle drove to the intersection in front, he instructed the driver to stop the car.

"Thank you. Li Qing opened the car door, got out of the car directly, and walked forward four or five steps, when he suddenly heard Jiang Demao calling behind him.

Turning around, Li Qing looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Master Li, after all, we have a friendship, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future. Jiang Demao said with a smile, "I have some local products from Longxi here, you can bring them back to Lingang." ”
