Chapter 15: Corpse Fraud

If it was a dry skeleton or a deeply decomposed corpse, then the group would probably not be so frightened, but this is a very "fresh" corpse.

The skin of the whole person still looks very elastic, the eyes are still glassy, and although the wounds on the body are no longer bleeding, the skin and flesh are still bright red.

If others are afraid, then Tao Yuan is surprised.

Because this is Peter's corpse, this is a very contradictory thing.

If the island doesn't refresh by the Spiral of Time, then who cleaned up the gravel from the cave? If the island refreshes everything from the time recurring, then why are Peter's corpses and the scratches on the caves on the beach all the time? Why are the wreckage of planes on the ocean floor?

So obviously, the time vortex of this island will not refresh everything, so Peter's body is still here, as for who cleaned the cave, Tao Yuan has no way to guess.

It's just that if time doesn't refresh everything, then Peter's corpse has been parked here for at least half a month, so how did his corpse come to life half a month later?

Many people were far away from Peter's corpse, and their breath suddenly became cautious.

But Tao Yuan, Nicholas and Ansally did not hide, they even got extremely close to the corpse to observe.

"He was covered in knife wounds, but none of them were fatal, and apparently he had died of blood loss. ”

Douglas said in a deep voice, and the unique chest resonance always made people feel his strength.

"There were some stones pressed on the important wounds of this corpse, and it was clear that someone had stopped the bleeding in this way, because it was something he could not have done on his own. ”

Mason looked at it for a while and said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he seemed to want to touch the corpse's eyelids with his hands, trying to help the corpse bare at it.

But Ansally immediately stopped him.

"Don't touch him, this corpse is very strange, look at the degree of decay of the clothes, he should have been dead for a long time, but there seems to be something in his body, so that he stopped decaying, you look closely at his eyes, there are very light but dense red spots in them, there are some of his exposed skin outside, but it is not obvious, it should be a fungus multiplying in his body, so do not touch it directly, be careful of being infected. ”

Mason hurriedly withdrew his hand, he didn't want to be infected with the corpse's germs.

Ansally took out a very delicate and small magnifying glass in her bag, approached Peter's corpse and looked at it carefully for a while, and wondered:

"What a strange thing, if I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a genus of the family Unilateralis, it's hard to tell if it's a plant or a fungus, half and half. ”

Douglas asked:

"Is it the same as cordyceps?"

Ansally shook her head and said:

"It's not exactly the same, Cordyceps changes itself seasonally, but what grows inside this corpse looks like a red moss-like plant on the outside, but the roots have obvious wriggling, and it is definitely a fungus-like creature. ”

Tao Yuan was not in the slightest interested in Ansally's discovery, and if she saw a rabbit with insect tentacles, she would not be curious about such a thing.

He stood up, ignoring Peter's corpse, and walked straight to the waterfall.

The clean cave was as if it had been washed with water, flat and smooth, without a trace of dust.

In fact, it has also been washed with water.

Tao Yuan knew that entering the stone cave meant entering the range of the seven-colored mist, and those strange plants and animals grew in this range.

Naturally, the danger is among them.

But he did not hesitate, because it was not a choice, but a necessity to walk in.

If you want to leave this island against the current, you must cross the area of the seven-colored mist, which is an unavoidable process.

At this time, it was still early, and there were at least three or four hours left before dark, so it was reasonable to continue on the road.

But they had been hungry for too long, and when they saw edible wild fruits and caves that could shelter them from the wind and rain, their first thought was to have a good rest after they were full, and then continue to set off.

A dozen people were divided into three groups.

Tao Yuan, Nicholas, and Mason were responsible for going to the upper end of the waterfall to collect edible wild fruits.

William, Jack, and Austin were responsible for collecting dry wood, while the women were responsible for collecting hay so that they would not sleep on the cold stone floor at night.

However, in fact, when they approached the cave, they felt that the main function of hay was not to keep warm, but only to be soft and comfortable.

Because it is only inside and outside the cave, the temperature difference is very obvious.

If outside the cave is cold and damp in early winter, inside the cave is a pleasant midsummer night, neither hot nor cold.

As the night deepened, a group of people who had eaten wild fruits gathered around a few bonfires, lying comfortably on the hay, chatting with acquaintances, and telling about the past and the future.

Tao Yuan didn't join anyone's conversation, because the topic of the past and the future was something he hated extremely much now.

This is not to blame him, anyone who has passed through such a confused time cycle as him will definitely refuse to talk about the past and the future, because many times, these two words exist inverted in him.

When it got dark, people noticed the strangeness of the cave.

Because the sky outside the mouth of the cave was bright and dark, but when they walked out of the cave, they could see the seven-colored rhythm at the top of the waterfall.

They guessed it was due to the refraction of water vapor and light, and no one was afraid of the seven-colored fog.

Cai Yang is the only one who bows down to the seven-colored mist, she thinks that those brightly lit seven-colored mist are miracles, only those who are destined can meet them, this is a blessing, and they should be worshiped with respect.

Although William listened to Cai Yang's words all the way, he couldn't do it after all.

The four fields became quieter and quieter, and they finally heard the sounds of animals on this island for the first time.

It is the song of insects and birds, far and near, but in the chaos and quiet night, it is also real and illusory, which makes people think about it.

By some point, the dozen or so people in the cave had all fallen asleep, but luckily, none of them were snoring.

Tao Yuan was sleeping soundly when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder twice.

Alert, he immediately opened his eyes, not the slightest confusion after waking up, but his eyes were clear.

"Tao Yuan, go out with me, I want to go to the toilet. ”

Anna looked at Tao Yuan and whispered, this woman was still masked, Tao Yuan only saw her face on the night she drank too much, and accidentally hugged her to sleep, although it was not comfortable.

But the experience of sleeping with an international star, Tao Yuan feels that it is still very worth having.

As a drinking friend and a smoker, Tao Yuan had no reason to refuse such a request from a beautiful woman.

He nodded, sat up, and the two of them quietly walked out of the cave.

However, the moment the two of them just walked to the entrance of the cave, Tao Yuan, whose eyes swept over the cave, suddenly grabbed Anna, who was about to step out, with a cautious face and eyes like eagles, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't go out, there's weirdness. ”

Anna was so frightened that she hid behind Tao Yuan, her two beautiful legs were clamped tightly, she was very anxious, but she was also more desperate.

"What's wrong? What did you see? I didn't see anything!"

Tao Yuan looked at a few stones not far from the entrance of the cave, and said in a deep voice:

"It's weird that I didn't see anything, and if I remember correctly, there was a corpse there, but now it'......"

Anna remembered the strange corpse she had seen during the day, and her heart trembled, and her legs clamped tighter.

As far as she could see, she looked at the location of the original corpse, and sure enough, the stones were empty, and the corpse was gone.

"Click!"

It was the sound of something breaking a dead branch.

Tao Yuan and Anna turned their faces almost at the same time and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

In the moonlight, a black figure moved extremely slowly, stiff and uncoordinated movements that looked like a puppet.

On the blue and black face, the mouth was wide open, and saliva slipped down the corners of the lips.

He seemed to want to say something, but the boss's mouth only opened and trembled, and after all, he didn't make any sound, but only held it open in vain......
