Chapter 1277 Decryption, Stone Shrimp Worm
Zhao San's words were like a life-saving straw, causing the surviving members of the expert group to move closer to him and follow Zhao San to the bottom of the cave. www.biquge.info Seeing that there were fewer and fewer comrades accompanying him, Zhang Meng, Fatty, Ye Jiu, and Ouyang took the initiative to slow down and began to guide others, while guarding against fluorescent balls that could pounce at any time!
Fortunately, Zhang Meng and the others had encountered moths with similar attributes in the Gobi Desert last time, and they knew that against this kind of creature that could split, brute force could not solve the problem. They escaped some of the bags in their backpacks, ready to catch the balls at any time.
Of course, this is only a way to quench your thirst, and it cannot completely solve the immediate trouble.
Everyone could only pray that Zhao San really thought of something.
However, at the moment, if you can delay some time, you can delay some time!
You haven't reached your destination yet, and it's obviously irrational to throw away the equipment now. Therefore, the fat man took the opportunity to run to the side and pick up the various backpacks that the members of the expert group had lost when they fled for their lives.
"Fatty, hurry up." After Li Guozhong, the last member of the expert group, left, Zhang Meng shouted at the back: "Is there anyone still alive?" Is there anyone else? ”
Seeing that there was no response after shouting several times, Zhang Meng basically gave up, picked up a bag and threw it away without waiting for it to burn. Then he picked up the fat man and began to run desperately in the direction of Zhao San's escape.
Ouyang and Ye Jiu behind him also imitated Zhang Meng, using pockets, empty backpacks, boxes, and everything that could trap those fluorescent balls.
After the four of them took turns to block them, most of the fluorescent balls were reduced to ashes along with those pockets, boxes, and backpacks, and only a few fluorescent balls were still chasing after everyone.
Zhang Meng and the others just caught up with Zhao San, and found that Zhao San had found a waterway in this natural karst cave at some point, and seeing that the members of the expert group were diving with Zhao San, Zhang Meng did not hesitate and jumped into the water together.
As soon as he jumped into the waterway in front of him, all the fluorescent balls that followed quietly fell on the crystal next to the waterway, as if the crystal itself was glow-in-the-dark.
"Hey, I said, why doesn't this thing move? It's quiet like a little girl, and it's not like their murderous style just now. The fat man had obviously forgotten the scene of his life-threatening run before, and at this moment he even had the heart to joke: "Don't say it, they are so still that they are really like the little stones we saw on the river embankment before." ”
"Besides, it's kind of like those little rocks out there." An expert paddled the water and said.
"That's not a stone." Zhao San replied.
Hearing Zhao San's answer, Zhang Meng suddenly understood: "So, those fluorescent-colored balls just now are the glowing stones we saw on the river embankment earlier?" ”
"That's right." Although Zhao San was talking, his hands were paddling hard: "Those glowing stones on the river embankment are these small balls that can fly, but they are not stones at all, but Demodex stone shrimp insects wrapped in stone slurry. Of course, this is a scientific term, and our older generation of gold touches still call them: light fire, because it is recorded in the gold scrap book that this thing is the embodiment of the light bringer in hell, which can incinerate everything, and is very difficult to deal with. ”
"Stone shrimp insects?" As soon as Professor Lou in the team heard this, he immediately became interested, and he almost forgot that he was running for his life: "The stone shrimp insect lived in the Carboniferous period 200 million years ago, and I don't know how many times earlier than the dinosaurs, isn't this thing extinct a long time ago?" Over here...... How...... How...... There will be. ”
"Creatures 200 million years ago?" Hearing this, all the people who fled for their lives began to panic, and they all couldn't help but look at Zhao San and Professor Lou.
Those surviving members of the expert group didn't expect that Zhao San, who was dressed as a farmer, would also know the creature 200 million years ago, and also knew its scientific name, so they couldn't help but look at Zhao San with admiration.
"Don't look at me like that, third uncle, I also listen to others." Zhao San explained.
"Others, were they the experts who came to Lop Nur with their uncle?" Zhang Meng asked.
"That's right."
"But haven't you heard that these insects growing in the stones can cause people to spontaneously combust?" Professor Lou is still curious: "Also, how did that prehistoric thing survive until now?" ”
"Hey! What's so strange about that. The fat man thought for a moment and pouted, "There are even such large monster skeletons in this cave, and it is not surprising that there are some other prehistoric bugs. ”
"It's easy to put it mildly, the skeleton only proves that there were giant creatures here, but it can't explain why there are Carboniferous stone shrimp insects here." Li Guozhong, who was in the team, saw the fat man speak, and immediately snorted dissatisfiedly.
"I said you ...... looking for it"
Without waiting for the fat man to quarrel with Li Guozhong, Ouyang on the side pulled the fat man, and then stared at the stone shrimp insects lying quietly on the stones around him and said: "If I guess correctly, they are likely to have encountered some accidents, and they have survived like living fossils to this day, such as ......"
"Like what?" The fat man asked.
"Like the river embankments, the stone slurry that wraps around their bodies." Ouyang said.
"You're right." Just when Ouyang said this, Zhao San recalled: "The experts who accompanied him back then had guessed that the stone slurry that wrapped these insects was not an ordinary stone slurry, it should be an element that humans have not discovered so far!" The periodic table will also be rewritten as a result. This element is more powerful than the radiation of radium found by Marie Curie, so the stone shrimp insects that are encased in it have also changed. ”
"No wonder Yama would say that this thing is the fire of Lop Nur, and all those who disrespect it will be burned to ashes, and even those who are dishonest will suffer disasters of varying degrees. It seems that it is caused by the radiation of these elements. After speaking, Zhang Meng hurriedly put on the gas mask that had been prepared a long time ago, and as for the chemical protection suit, he had to wait until he went ashore to wear it.
Others did not dare to slack off and put on gas masks one after another.
The crowd in gas masks began to talk again.
"Hey, fat man, I have a question in mind." The fat man said.
"What's the problem?"
"Immortal! Let's talk about the immortality test. The fat man said excitedly: "These 200 million-year-old insects can still live until now, isn't it all because of those stone slurry with radiation?" If I'm not mistaken, those slurries are actually the raw materials for some kind of immortality. ”
Hearing the fat man's words, Zhang Meng and the others all lowered their heads and pondered for a while, in terms of immortality, the fat man's guess is not unreasonable, but these stone shrimp insects are indeed not like the failed products of the immortal test that everyone has seen before.
When everyone just fell into deep thought, there were bursts of miserable strange screams in front of them again, but this voice was not everyone's, Zhang Meng carefully identified it, and then pointed to one of the forks in the road, and shouted: "The voice came from there!" ”
