Chapter Fifty-Six: Mutant Bats
"I like Doraemon the most, I have watched every episode of that cartoon!" Xiaohua said excitedly on the side.
"I love it too, hee-hee. What I like the most is that it can be anywhere and whenever you want to go back. Reaching out to take the big towel handed over by Xing Lu, Chu Xiran wrapped himself tightly with it, and chatted with Xiaohua warmly.
"I like the bamboo dragonflies that come out of it, and you can fly anywhere you want to go. There is also a ......" chatting about his favorite animation, Xiaohua's face flushed with excitement, and he chattered non-stop.
Chu Xiran is the same, although she has long been an adult, she has never had troubles since she was a child, her carefree life has never been troubled, her heart is still simple, and the things she likes are also this kind of fairy tales and anime, and when she chats with Xiaohua, a real child, she is like finding a soulmate.
"I said, you two, can we wait and then exchange your anime tips? ”
Roach's words made everyone laugh at once, and the two who were discussing it hotly also stopped discussing and laughed.
"Okay, I don't think I'll know what we'll encounter later, and the rope tied to us won't affect our activities, so I suggest we don't untie it yet. Uncle Cang asked everyone's opinions.
"Agreed, the provincial Wuqi is so dark that you can't see the road under your feet, so everyone is safer. Uncle Da agreed first.
Uncle Da spoke, and the opinions of the remaining few people could basically be ignored. It's like having two more people who help them walk, and everyone will only walk more steadily.
Chu Yu nodded, Xing Lu followed behind him, and everyone groped their way forward in the tunnels of Heisuosuo. Sometimes the tunnel suddenly becomes so narrow that you have to bend down to move forward, and sometimes it becomes so wide that it is more than enough for a few people to hold hands.
I walked like this for a full hour and a half, during which I didn't encounter anything in the way, and everyone was glad about it, and said that the bad luck had ended here, and everyone was afraid that this time the lucky star would come again.
may also feel that there will be no danger in the future, while on the way of the team, Han Yifeng and the others unknowingly squeezed out Chu Yu's leading position and gradually walked at the front of the team.
Just as everyone was talking and laughing about the smooth progress on the road, suddenly Han Yifeng's group of people who were leading the way in front quickly retreated.
"What's going on, why do you want to retreat?" asked someone in the back, puzzled.
"Shhh, there's something in that big cave in front of you, and it's overwhelming. ”
"What's it that makes you so careful?" Seeing the man's panicked face, he unconsciously lowered his voice.
"Black, very big, there are a lot of them, they look so ugly~"
Well, what kind of adjective is that? When he said this, everyone couldn't help but imagine in their minds what the man was talking about.
"Don't guess, if I'm not mistaken, the cave should be a mutated bat. Han Yifeng said with a sullen face. Damn it, that Chu Yu led everyone in front for so long, and nothing happened. I had just pushed him to the back, and in a short time I ran into these guys.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sigh rang out from the crowd. No wonder this road is so peaceful, and the rare peace of mind is because of these evil gods staying here!
There are at least a hundred bats in a group, and the appearance of the bats itself makes people stay away, and before the cataclysm, ordinary people would not dare to provoke them at will, and after the mutation, it will be more difficult to deal with?
In Chinese culture, bats are definitely a symbol of 'blessing'. They can be seen almost everywhere on many ancient buildings that have survived to this day, as well as in brick and stone carvings. Bat is also referred to as 'bat', because 'bat' and 'fu' have the same sound, people use bats to express blessings, blessings and longevity and other auspicious fortunes. In the folk painting, five bats are depicted, which means "Five Blessings".
But if you use a bat to describe a person, that person will probably turn your face against you. Because in ancient fairy tales, the bat was a symbol of insidious cunning.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the temperature of the sun was very high, and the animals on the ground were roasted unbearably and cursed. The sun was very angry when he heard this, and turned his head and went up to the sky. From then on, the world was dark. So the animals gathered together and agreed to raise some silver and gold to bring the sun out. When the bird raised money from the bat, the bat folded its wings and said that it was not a bird but a rat and would not make a donation. When the rat found it, it flapped its wings and said that it was a bird, not a rodent, and that it would not donate. In this way, the bat deceived and did not donate a penny. Therefore, the Jingpo people call those who are duplicitous, improvised, and do one thing in front of them and one thing behind their backs as "bat people".
Fear is fear, and everyone can only cheer up and walk towards the hole where the bat lives. After walking about 300 meters, a huge cave appeared in front of me. I saw that the depth of this cave was about 600 meters, and the width reached 178 meters, and the narrowest place should be the exit where everyone was standing, which was also three or four meters wide.
Inside the cave, groups of bats hang from the stone walls. The excrement they excreted had accumulated nearly two meters on the ground and was like dark brown dirt. According to Xing Lu's knowledge, bat feces has the function of clearing heat and removing fire, and its medicinal value is higher for a long time, and it is called 'luminous sand'.
It is also evident from their huge size that these bats have mutated. The bat's wings evolved from its forelimbs, and are made up of skin connected to each other by its slender claws, which warns everyone of their 'squeaking' when they find that everyone is gone and returning, and also fanning its wings, which are more than a meter long, after spreading out.
For a while, the sand and rocks flew away, so that everyone couldn't even open their eyes, and could only take out all kinds of defensive tools to deal with it.
In the dark, these mutant bats emit ultrasound waves from their mouths that are inaudible to humans. When the ultrasound waves encounter an obstacle, they reflect back and travel to the sensitive ears of mutant bats. The mutant bat then uses its brain to determine the appearance of obstacles, etc., to decide whether to fight or flee.
It may be that seeing that the human beings in front of them did not act rashly and cause harm to the interests of their own race, they just stopped and did not take the initiative.
But it's not a way to keep confronting each other like this, everyone always has to pass through here. Seeing that these mutant bats did not come forward, some of the more courageous people tentatively took a step forward.
His actions were regarded as a provocation by these mutant bats, and soon three or four black-gray shadows flew from different directions, grabbed them with their claws that had evolved and become extremely sharp, and forcibly tore the first person apart! The whole process only took three or four seconds! Almost in the blink of an eye, that person was devoured by this group of mutant bats!
The rest of the crowd did not dare to stay there any longer, and quickly retreated, not even daring to look at the discarded skeleton of the man!
"What should I do? Those mutant bats are so ferocious, isn't this a dead end!"
"Staying here is not a dead end, I only have enough food in my hands for a month or two, how much do you have there?"
"Well, I'm a little bit more than you, so I can last three months!"
"Even if we can last for half a year, won't we have to go out in the end? The disparity in strength is huge, those mutant bats are so powerful, and there are so many of them, will we be different from others when the time comes?"
"So what should I do?
The dilemma is overwhelming, so I can only settle down temporarily and find a way slowly.
The things in Xing Lu's space are inexhaustible, so she didn't start to control the amount of food from now on like the person next to her, and the meals she prepared were as hearty as usual, and she also served some to Qiu Lin.
"Sister Lulu, is it okay for us to eat like this? Don't we need to save a little?" Xiao Hua looked at the food eaten by several people at the dining table next to him, and then looked back at his own, and felt that it was a crime to eat openly like this.
"If you don't eat well, finally. You're the one with the problem. The mutant frog meat that gave him a chopstick, Xing Lu said with a smile to him.
"Girl Xinglu, how long do we have enough food to eat? I have enough to eat for a month. Uncle Cang asked.
"I've only been around for half a month. Zhang Qiang said frustratedly.
"I've got enough stuff in my space button for two and a half months, hehe. Now the advantages of foodies can be revealed, Rocky looked at everyone proudly.
