Chapter Eighty-Eight: Traces

"Be careful!" Qing Dai only had time to exclaim, and was about to step forward to pull Du Qinyue away, but was blocked by Xu Sheng and took the lead.

However, Xu Sheng also slowed down, and those blacks were only more than ten centimeters away from Du Qinyue. At this moment, a white burst out, cutting all the black shadows and bouncing back.

It's complicated to say, but every qiฤ“ happens in two seconds, and the dust has already settled.

Du Qinyue herself was still a little dazed, but she heard Qingdai's warning, and something seemed to have swayed around her, and when she turned around, she couldn't see any changes. After all, no matter how much firelight illuminated, there were many layers of shadows in the natural cave, and she couldn't see the difference at all.

Qing Dai patted her heart that was about to jump out of her chest just now, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Xiaoyue, you scared me to death, thanks to this big brother with a chai knife." โ€

Although there was Xu Sheng to protect the driver, Qing Dai also saw what was going on, those unknown objects were all cut off by a long knife of the mercenary, and at this moment, the remaining parts were still lying quietly on the ground, as if they had never moved.

Du Qinyue looked at Qing Dai's face a little pale, and she also knew her friend's worries, so she took Qing Dai's hand apologetically: "Isn't this okay?" Thank you. โ€

A few mercenaries didn't mean to wait to thank them, and after nodding to Qing Dai and a few people, they surrounded those black objects with great interest. The mercenary nicknamed Chai Dao who drew the knife before also picked up a trace with the tip of the knife and looked at it carefully.

Qing Dai finally saw the difference between mercenaries and ordinary people, and they not only tightened their vigilance at all times. Not hesitant to take risks and try. Instead of her long time gone, and the mercenary was still able to study with such enthusiasm?

"So that's it." The three mercenaries looked at it for a few seconds, and a darker mercenary seemed to have seen the fame, smashed his mouth boringly, and turned his head to look into the depths of the cave, obviously wanting to leave quickly, and the things that were clearly figured out were boring.

"Black Tan, do you know what this is?" Chai Dao looked up and asked.

The man called Black Charcoal glanced at his companion with disdain, and said slowly: "The boss carried this thing on his body yesterday, and then the boss changed his clothes. You've already studied it. This kind of thing just likes to pounce on warm organisms, and the danger is unknown, but it is very weak, and it is gone if you do it casually. Doctors have also examined it. No poison. โ€

"Hey. I studied it yesterday, and no one informed me? Hearing such unfair treatment, Chai Dao expressed dissatisfaction.

Black Tan didn't bother to take care of him. Seeing that Qingdai and Du Qinyue heard the introduction, their nerves also relaxed, and the leader of his own self-care walked towards the front, yesterday the boss also roughly said that there is basically no danger in the first kilometer, as for the big man who is farther away, they have also solved most of it, and now they just stride forward.

Qing Dai looked at the commotion of several mercenaries and asked Du Qinyue: "Isn't it said at today's meeting?" Introduced yesterday? โ€

Du Qinyue suddenly forgot that Qing Dai had been in a coma, and said with a smile: "Yesterday you fell asleep, and you didn't see the poisonous wolf They just came out of the wolf bรจi, there are strange little things all over the body, of course, the lethality is not great, we observed it separately, well, in fact, I didn't hear much about the research results." โ€

Qing Dai was speechless, and looked up at Xu Sheng again, but found that Xu Sheng's eyes were a little evasive.

Du Qinyue pouted at this time and said: "It's even more impossible if you ask him, he has been squatting next to you, and he doesn't care about other people at all." โ€

Qing Dai only felt a warm heart, recalling how comfortable she felt when she was in a coma, I'm afraid this man has been combing the energy in her body. Subconsciously, Qing Dai stretched out her hand and took the initiative to pull Xu Sheng, since she chose to rely on him as soon as she was overwhelmed by the impact of the ability, then she must not let go of this person's hand again.

Xu Sheng was shocked, he was already very familiar with the slightly cool little hands, but this was almost the first time that Qing Dai didn't hold him because of an accident. This grip is far more pleasing to him than Qingdai choosing to let him help in times of crisis.

At this moment, the two hands finally clasped each other tightly, no need to make eye contact, no need to linger and sympathy, but there is already a tacit understanding of companionship and trust.

Du Qinyue didn't notice the turbulent dark tide, so she only took Qing Dai's other hand and followed the mercenary's stride forward.

Qing Dai had already discovered that although her perception was already very powerful, and her range and details had surpassed her previous by several times, it was indeed inferior to the mercenary's intuition for these small things with weak vitality. Along the way, they met a lot of small lifeforms that had loved the poisonous wolf, some with trace amounts of toxins, some were simply disturbed, and some seemed to be some kind of biological cubs, very disgusted with light, and habitually attacked.

What makes people laugh and cry is that the weaker the creature, the greater the momentum it creates. For example, there are many black plants along the road, and every time they appear, they almost form a huge strange shadow, which makes people's hearts chill. If it weren't for the timely response of these mercenaries, Qing Dai and Du Qinyue would probably have mistakenly thought that this cave was not the path traveled by the poisonous wolf at all.

Du Qinyue irritably shook off a small animal that was sticky to his hand, some similar to a toad, and a bit like a lizard, even if a male looks at it, he will feel disgusted. The most annoying thing is that this small creature lives in groups, and if you fight one, a group of people will come to besiege, and it will be a headache if there is not much attack power, so the best way to run into it is to throw it off and find their nest to exterminate. Fortunately, the nest basically belongs to the land, and it does not go deep into the river, otherwise the Qingdai people would have to let them go.

"How far have we come? These little things are continuous, can they really be dealt with? When this nest of little monsters was burned clean by everyone, Du Qinyue finally sighed.

Qing Dai smiled bitterly: "It's about three kilometers, it's not half the speed of the poisonous wolf, and they seem to have walked seven kilometers at this time yesterday." โ€

And beyond this range, Qing Dai has no impression of perception, and she has to re-explore.

Suddenly, the mercenary in front of him stopped, but he didn't show any air of preparation.

"What's wrong?" Qingdai did not feel anything abnormal. Slowly walked over, following the eyes of a few mercenaries and looking ahead.

"That ......" Du Qinyue followed, her eyes narrowed, and she muttered, "It's fluorescent, right?" โ€

As she spoke, she commanded the fireballs that had been illuminating the front and back of everyone for five or six meters to float behind. Sure enough, in the absence of flame illumination, a layer of blue-white fluorescence emerged in the darkness.

"It looks like an emission-emitting creature from a cave." Du Qinyue was a little interested, and was about to step forward when she raised her foot, but was stopped by the mercenaries.

"What's wrong?"

Qing Dai found that several mercenaries had relaxed and indifferent expressions all the way, but at this moment, they frowned strangely.

"Is there something wrong?" Qing Dai asked.

The black charcoal was still staring at the fluorescent object in front of him. But he said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, the boss probably encountered something else. So I didn't have time to discover this, this phenomenon, shouldn't be here. โ€

Although Du Qinyue was curious, she would not refuse the kindness of others. Backed back and asked, "Shouldn't it?" It's normal for there to be fluorescent creatures in underground caverns, right? โ€

Xu Sheng spoke at this time: "There are a lot of fluorescent life forms in nature. But it's either aquatic life. Or flying insects, which have not yet been found to be able to break out of the water. โ€

Du Qinyue sneered: "I haven't found it yet, so it doesn't mean that there isn't." And now so many unknown creatures have appeared. Since none of the poisonous wolves were attacked yesterday, these are harmless, right? โ€

Xu Sheng ignored Du Qinyue, and intuitively met the gaze of the mercenary who was still frowning, and then several men turned around and walked to the strange river.

Only then did Qing Dai realize that the river was still as strange as it had been seen at first, but it was no longer as calm as they had seen at the entrance. In the clear half of the river, many strange fish are spinning restlessly, some upstream, some desperately running downstream, and occasionally bumping into each other. On the black and muddy side, you can't see the inside clearly, only the rotten minced flesh and white bones that appear on the surface of the water from time to time can reveal some cruelty and hideousness.

"If I'm not mistaken," Xu Sheng pondered for a while, looked at the mercenary, and then at Qing Dai: "The upper reaches of this river are really Kyoto, and it goes directly to the research institute in Kyoto. โ€

"What?" Du Qinyue exclaimed.

But no one answered her, and everyone unconsciously looked into the distance of the cavern. Qingdai is also a little clear, this strange phenomenon, and pure natural mutation, it feels too different, no wonder her perception has been very strange, turbidity and clarity have been entangled, but it is difficult to integrate, just like this river, life and death, it is like water and oil, close to the end of the world. Most of these violations are caused by human intervention.

Just thinking about it, he saw Hei Tan stride forward and walked to the rock with the most dense fluorescence, but in ten seconds, he snorted coldly: "Fluorescent agent synthesis drug, it is really artificial." โ€

Qing Dai was silent, should they be happy that this road really leads to Kyoto? However, in such a cruel situation, human beings are still trying to control nature, making the distortion more distorted, and even more crazy.

But before Qingdai was sad, Hei Tan turned around and said, "Let's go, it's still far from Kyoto, and what should be done is to continue." โ€

found that his perception was almost useless in the details, and the small creatures left after being swept by the poisonous wolf were indeed not lethal, Qingdai simply let go of the sense again, and was limited by herself at the mouth of the cave yesterday, and now she has come to a place that she couldn't perceive yesterday, so she naturally wants to explore deeply.

Who knows, the perception has just been released two kilometers away, and before I can figure out how many branch tunnels this cave has, Qingdai has made a strange discovery.

"Wait a minute!" Qing Dai grabbed Xu Sheng and Du Qinyue, and called out to the mercenaries in front.

"It's like, I sensed that there was a living human in front of me!"

Qing Dai closed her eyes, locked her senses, and tried to discern: "That's right, is it a living person, there are, two, or three?" There's one that's already, almost a zombie. โ€

"What!?" Du Qinyue finally exclaimed: "Then we ......"

Qing Dai opened her eyes and looked at the black charcoal in front of her, she knew that this person was the head of the three mercenaries now: "Let's go save people!" โ€

When Hei Tan heard Qing Dai's words, his eyes seemed to warm a little, but his expression did not change, he just tilted his head at Qing Dai: "You lead the way." โ€

Du Qinyue will no longer play all kinds of fire effects, and directly ignited a straight light pipe at the top of the cave, and Qing Dai used the corpse vine to block the little monsters along the road, and took the lead in running.

"It's about two kilometers away, and it's also in the upper reaches of the river, and the person who turned into a zombie should have been injured and infected with the virus in the river." Qingdai ran while talking to everyone about the situation she sensed.

Finally, the firelight illuminated several figures lying on the ground and by the river. (To be continued......)
