Chapter 163: Transformation
The three of us searched for the missing soldier in the heavy rain, and we didn't find anything unusual around the bus, not to mention that the people on the bus were staring at the outside, even if something was attacked, someone should always see it.
I quickly gave up looking around the bus and instead walked to the cornfield on the side of the road, where Captain Xu and Sanjiu were good at tracking and scouting, and they found an anomaly in the leaves on the cornstalks on the roadside.
"Someone went in."
"It wasn't long ago."
The two of them looked at each other and told each other what they had discovered, and I took a few steps inside, making sure that the people in the car would not see it, and then released the puppet to search around.
Captain Xu Rao was mentally prepared, but he was also stunned by this sudden scene, and his eyes changed when he looked at me.
The corpse puppet has a spiritual connection with me, and I will know as soon as they are attacked, and there is a corpse puppet that fights with the thing that grabbed it, and I hurriedly rush to its location.
The puppet's claws stabbed the thing, and juice flowed out, but in our eyes, it was nothing more than a cloud of air.
After doing it for a long time, it will be invisible!
The corpse puppet scratched the thing in a few clicks, and the dead thing lost its stealth function, revealing its true face, and it turned out to be a human-shaped tree monster.
This thing doesn't look like this in the jungles of Laos, yes, it's a poisonous invisible dryad, and Hua Zeng has been splashed unconscious by its sap.
Fortunately, the surface of the corpse's skin is like ceramic, immune to all corrosive liquids, and even if it is splashed, it will be washed clean by heavy rain.
The other puppets killed the tree monster and brought back the two unconscious warriors, one to Captain Xu and the other to Sanjiu, and then I put the puppets back away.
The team's doctor examined the two fighters. It was determined that it was only shock, and there was no danger to life, and Captain Xu was afraid that those experts would panic, so he didn't tell them the specific situation.
But Sanjiu and I were not so lucky when we got back to the car, and we were grabbed by several experts and asked non-stop, and Sanjiu only answered them with four words: no comment!
When the car started again, Sanjiu whispered, "You know this kind of thing? ”
I grabbed his arm. Leaned into his ear and told him about the siege of the tree monsters in the jungle of Laos.
After hearing this, he asked, "What made Huazeng unconscious was its juice?" ”
I replied, "Yes." But at that time, the effect was not so fast, and it took a while for the attack to occur. ”
Sanjiu thought for a moment and said, "It's been transformed." ”
We all know what that means. Unknown viruses, evolved parasitic corpses, modified treads, and God knows what else we don't know is entrenched in S City.
If the experts in the car knew, it was estimated that they would all have to go back noisily, wouldn't Captain Xu be willing to reveal the truth.
Before the car reached the outskirts of S City, it was stopped by a checkpoint set up by the military. Captain Xu had the notice certificate from above, and we were quickly released.
The people in the car were puzzled. Why the military checkpoint is so far from the city, and everyone understands when the car drives out for a while, the military is to avoid the fog.
A thick yellow haze enveloped the entire city, including a large area on the outskirts of the city. In addition to being covered by fog, the road into S City is also blocked by countless vehicles.
The scene is similar to a disaster movie, with large and small vehicles huddled together in groups, regardless of whether they are high or low. And some of them bumped into each other.
From the direction of the different vehicles, it can be seen that someone wants to enter the city. Some people want to get out of the city, but they are all stuck here, and many cars have bullet holes.
Within the fog is the danger zone, which is what Bai Rui said during the meeting, and what happens after entering the danger zone is unpredictable.
The bus had to stop at the end of the traffic, and we had to walk on our own with Ruth below, as our predecessors had proven that gas masks and chemical suits were useless, and we could save ourselves from wearing bloated equipment.
Captain Xu asked the two soldiers to go to reconnoiter first, the range is not far, and he is not at ease if he goes too far, so he stops and goes, and after dark, we finally walk to the toll booth into the city.
It was raining heavily, and the situation in the city was unclear, so Captain Xu ordered to rest in the toll booth for one night, and then enter the city after the rain stopped tomorrow morning.
At night, when I was asleep, I suddenly heard an exclamation from the small house at the toll booth next to me, and Sanjiu got up quickly, and the people who were resting in the same room with us also crowded to the window to look out.
The fighters in the house received an order to protect the specialists, so they did not rush out when they heard the voice, but used the communicator to communicate.
We could clearly hear a man in the next room exclaiming, 'There are ghosts, there are ghosts,' and Sanjiu's brows furrowed slightly.
"Really?" I asked quietly.
"Nope." He shook his head slightly.
After a while, the man quieted down, probably persuaded by the people in the same room, and I thought it was best to ask about it, so as not to sleep well all night, so I dragged Sanjiu to the nearby toll house.
Captain Xu sent someone to keep vigil, and it is said that nothing abnormal will be discovered by the people sleeping in the house first, but he only found out after talking to the frightened man.
He was in a hurry to urinate at night, and when he went outside the house, he saw a woman in red clothes crawling out of a van not far away, and the worst thing was that she had no head!
When he called out, the night watchman looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was nothing, not even a ghost in the van with the open door open.
That's why he was scared like this, thinking that he had seen a ghost, and he was still a headless female ghost in red!
The young engineers around him laughed at him, saying that he was a doctor, but he believed that there were ghosts in the world.
The man called Dr. Wang seemed to feel embarrassed, so he rushed to tell the young engineer a ghost story about the hospital, as if to prove that there are many supernatural events in the world that science cannot explain.
Seeing that Dr. Wang was successfully distracted by himself, Sanjiu and I exited the room, they could treat it as a coincidence, but we can't.
In case there is really a terrible guy around, who dares to close his eyes at night, in order to confirm what Dr. Wang saw, Sanjiu and I came to the van he said.
It was raining heavily, and the air was full of cold moisture, but there was still a stench on the van that had not yet dissipated.
"Corpse stench." Sanjiu sniffed and said.
"Strange, I don't feel a corpse." I expanded my mental power to search for it, but I still didn't sense the presence of a corpse.
"You can only sense normal corpses, maybe... What Dr. Wang saw was a parasitic corpse. Sanjiu guessed.
"Then it's fast enough." My heart sank.
From the time Doctor Wang saw it scream in exclamation, to the night watchman rushing to check it out, it had only been a matter of seconds, and it had disappeared without a trace, much faster than the ones we had encountered in the canyon altar. (To be continued.) )
