"Do we still use people to stand guard at night?" Zhang Deming asked Che Dong.

"What do you say?" Che Dong asked him rhetorically. After experiencing monitor lizards and leeches, there were only thirteen of us left in the original team of twenty-one, and we really couldn't afford the casualties anymore.

"Standing guard on duty, guarding the land and doing their duty, everyone is responsible! I'll come first! I volunteered to stand up.

"Good! Mr. Pei and I stood on the first shift in a group, and then the second shift consisted of Qi Yubao, Ji Shanchuan and the two of you, and then Luan Kun and ......" Che Dong glanced at Zhang Deming, paused, shook his head slightly, and finally set his eyes on the altar: "...... Mr. Zhou. How about it, all right? Che Dong asked.

Qi Yubao put his hands under his head and said, "Who can have an opinion on the class set by the team leader?" I just wish it was my turn first, and then I could sleep comfortably without being disturbed! ”

Che Dong looked at Qi Yubao, ignored him, picked up his gun and walked to the end, leaning against a dry mountain wall. I also picked up a gun, walked to the other end of the cave, and began my three-hour stand-on-duty stand. The owner and I were guarding one end of the line, so that no matter what happened on either side, we could give a warning in time.

At first, I was walking back and forth with my gun, but after a while, it was on my shoulder. In the whole cave, as everyone fell asleep, it slowly quieted down, and all that could be heard was a slight snoring. Maybe it's because it's too quiet, or maybe it's because the drowsiness of everyone is infecting me, and I just feel that my eyelids are getting heavier and heavier. I kept telling myself that I couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep, and I was standing for less than half an hour. But the more I said this, the more sleepy I became.

I wanted to find some water to wipe my face, thinking that this would make me feel more refreshed, but before I could take this step, I fell on the side of the mountain wall. I just felt sleepy, and I couldn't support it anymore, so I no longer had the idea of resisting in my heart, and I fell into a deep sleep. Maybe it was my delusion, I seemed to smell a stronger stench before I fell asleep......

When I woke up again, I found that the cave was already filled with a rancid smell, almost inaudible. Before I could get up, I noticed several white hands beside me. The hands were coming out of the walls, and they were all pale in complexion, as if they had been frozen in a freezer after they died. And the disgusting rancid smell emanated from the hands of those men.

Dead wood? Tai Sui? Two words like these immediately crossed my mind. I didn't have time to think about it, so I rolled on the spot, rolled out of the way for several meters, and suddenly got out of the control of those hands.

I gasped as I struggled to stand up with my right hand against the wall and looked into the hole. There were several of these hands sticking out of the side of everyone in the cave, some from the wall and some from the ground, and they appeared one after another to hug the sleeping people.

"Everyone, hurry up!" I shouted and rushed towards the hole, but as soon as I stepped out of my left leg, I felt some numbness and weakness in my left leg, and as soon as I took this step, my foot hit the ground, and I collapsed directly to the ground.

What's wrong with me? I broke out in a cold sweat: Am I paralyzed? At this time, I realized that not only my left leg, but also my left arm, left foot, and left rib were paralyzed, and I had no sensation at all.

Did I sleep on the ground last night and suffered a stroke on the left side of my body? There is no other explanation. I thought to myself. But then I think about it, no, if I have a stroke, why can I still manipulate the left side of my face and feel it? Especially when he just fell to the ground, the left side of his face hit the ground first, and the left cheek hit the ground, which was so hot and painful.

I have heard the elderly say that stroke is caused by qi and blood reversal, cerebral pulse blockage, or blood overflowing in the brain, so the first thing that manifests itself is on the face. But my face was not paralyzed, that is, I did not have a stroke. If I hadn't had a stroke, my eyes would have fallen on the hands of those white-haired people...... They must have caused it!

Just when I kept analyzing in my heart, Tanzi, Luan Kun, Zhang Deming and others also woke up one after another. When they woke up, the first voice they heard was shouting, "I...... Why can't I move? "What's going on?" Among them, only Hu Yunting is relatively calm: "We seem to be anesthetized!" ”

If what Hu Yunting said is true, I know that the only ones who can anesthetize us are those dead hands. At this time, the fingers of my left hand flicked slightly, and although it was very light, I knew that my consciousness was gradually returning.

I struggled against the wall and sat up, waiting for the effects of the anesthesia to dissipate. At this time, Ji Shanchuan suddenly lay on the ground and shouted: "Captain, how did you stand guard and put the sentry?" Not only did he not ask me and Qi Yubao to get up in time to take over, but also let the big guy fall into such an environment! ”

The owner of the car said with self-reproach: "It's really my fault! I felt so sleepy last night that I couldn't even open my eyes, so I accidentally fell asleep......"

Luan Kun then shouted: "That's not right, you used to be sleepy for two days and two nights, what's wrong today?" ”

"It's not just the captain, I've had the same experience." I also explained, "At that time, I only felt that the smell around me was getting stronger and stronger, and although I wanted to open my eyes, my body just didn't listen to the call, and there was only one thought in my heart at that time, which was to sleep!" ”

Che Dong exclaimed with surprise on his face: "Are you like this too? I nodded emphatically.

"Looks like the problem is with the smell!" Hu Yunting said, "No wonder we felt a little groggy after we came here to rest, I guess these smells have a hypnotic effect!" ”

"What's the use of hypnosis?" Jin Yuxiang didn't speak all the time, so he asked.

"I don't know!" Hu Yunting said, "But there will never be a good thing!" ”

I stood up slowly, still a little numb, but not so immobilized. I limped to Xu Yunshu, who was closest to me, and pulled her out from under the dead man's hands first, and said as I pulled her: "You don't know, but I probably do!" ”

"You know?" Everyone looked at me in amazement.

"If we weren't hypnotized, how would these dead people's hands come out unconsciously?" When I pulled the jar out, I found that it had not only the white dead man's hands, but also a few blood-red octopus tentacles, tightly wrapped around one of his legs.
