Chapter 22: The Passage of Life
Xiao Ling said: "Could this mean that those of us who are destined to see this bamboo slip?" In other words, it is reserved for the people who see this bamboo slip later, which should refer to us. ”
Yu Tingting hummed and said: "This sentence can be understood in this way, but what does it mean to nourish with blood and vermiculite?" ”
Xiao Ling touched his chin and thought for a while, "Nourish ...... with blood Could it be that there is something that needs to be fed with blood to gain immortality after that? As for vermiculite, I don't understand, but what is this vermiculite? ”
Everyone guessed with each other, but they couldn't figure out the truth, Li Zhibao put away the bamboo slips, and was just about to stand up, when suddenly his body shook and he almost fell.
Xiao Ling stepped forward to support him.
"Old Li, be careful."
Li Zhibao smiled and said: "When people are old, they are useless, just squatting for a while, and they feel physically exhausted......"
Xiao Ling looked at Li Zhibao, and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
Li Zhibao in front of him was pale, wrinkled, and looked very old, which was a little different from his impression of Li Lao.
Although Li Zhibao is over sixty years old, his physical strength is not inferior to that of a young man, and the whole person looks radiant and does not look old, but Li Zhibao in front of him looks seventy or eighty years old, to say the least.
How did he get so old all of a sudden?
Xiao Ling was puzzled, and just wanted to speak, Zhou Kesheng also walked over and said, "Lao Li, it seems that you are very tired, then let's rest on the spot for a while." ”
When Xiao Ling saw Zhou Kesheng, he was shocked again.
Zhou Kesheng in front of him also had a lot of wrinkles on his face, and some gray hair appeared on his head, like Li Zhibao, he looked seventy or eighty years old.
Something is wrong.
"You...... You ......" Xiao Ling was very surprised, busy looking at other people, and suddenly found that Yu Tingting had become like she was in her thirties, Pang Yan and Sun Tao looked like she was forty or fifty years old, Wang Lei's appearance had become about sixty, and almost everyone had become more than ten years old.
Xiao Ling was surprised, let go of Li Zhibao, and was busy touching his face.
Although there was nothing on his face, Xiao Ling faintly had an ominous feeling.
"Lao Hu, why are you so old all of a sudden?" Wang Lei finally felt that something was wrong, turned his head, and suddenly realized that Hu Shengzhe beside him looked like he was more than ten years old all of a sudden, and finally screamed in surprise.
At this call, everyone looked at Hu Shengzhe one after another, and found that Hu Shengzhe, who was originally only in his forties, had many wrinkles on his face, and he looked afraid of being in his sixties.
Li Zhibao, who was let go by Xiao Ling, had weak legs, and suddenly fell to the ground, the bamboo slips in his hands were scattered to the side, he was panting in his mouth, and in just a short time, his hair had completely become snow-white, and he was slowly falling, his face was full of wrinkles, and large patches of old age spots appeared, looking old, looking eighty or ninety years old.
"Ah...... This is ......" Yu Tingting watched Pang Yan beside her aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in fright, she suddenly found that her long black and shiny hair was withering, yellowing, and finally turning white.
In the midst of fear and screaming, everyone finally noticed the changes in the people around them and themselves, and almost everyone was aging rapidly.
No one understood what was happening, and in the midst of everyone's exclamations, Zhou Kesheng also sat down on the ground.
Among the people, he and Li Zhibao are the oldest and the fastest, and from the outside, they are now eighty or ninety years old, and they are weak.
Zhou Kesheng gasped for breath in his mouth, and suddenly Li Zhibao, who was lying on the ground, screamed hoarsely twice in his mouth, his voice was indistinct, he had become extremely old, his eyesight and hearing were also declining, and his vitality was failing.
Xiao Ling barely approached his side, and wanted to see his situation, but suddenly found that Li Zhibao's body was straight, and the hand that was originally stretched out hung down weakly, as if life had left him and died.
Xiao Ling was cold, and couldn't help but cry out: "Elder Li-"
Among all the people, he admired the old professor the most, and he couldn't imagine watching him age rapidly in front of him like this, and finally die.
Zhou Kesheng, who was lying on the side, shouted hoarsely: "We...... Our life force...... It's all gone, there's ghosts here, we're ...... ...... to get out of here."
As he spoke, he struggled to get up, but unfortunately he was only halfway up, because he was too old and fell down again, fell to the ground, and remained motionless.
Hu Shengzhe roared wildly: "I understand, this is the terrifying thing Xu Fu said, let's get out of here." ”
He crawled up, staggering, trying to escape.
Everyone couldn't understand the reason, so they got up one after another, just thinking about staying away from the ruins of the building, and even the bodies of Zhou Kesheng and Li Zhibao, who fell to the ground motionless, didn't have time to take them away.
It's a pity that Hu Shengzhe just ran out of ten meters, but because of extreme aging, he quickly fell down, stepped into the footsteps of Li Zhibao and Zhou Kesheng, lost his breath of life, and no longer moved.
After that, Wang Haiyang, Guo Zhenwei and Wang Lei fell to the ground one after another.
Xiao Ling could clearly feel that the breath of life in his body was weakening, and he was also experiencing the process of aging, but his physical strength was several times more vigorous than that of ordinary people, and he was aging relatively slowly.
Although he has experienced a lot of life and death, but there has never been a more terrifying and weird than now, he helped Yu Tingting, strode away, and rushed into the distance, everyone had an accident here, the vitality passed, maybe escaping from this mountain top will be safe.
The people around him aged and died one after another, Pang Yan, Sun Tao, Qin Yang, Liu Guangsheng......
Xiao Ling tugged at Yu Tingting, watching in fear as these people were desperately running away, struggling, getting older and older, and then fell to the ground, no longer moving.
Xiao Ling felt that his physical exertion was serious, the strength in his body seemed to be constantly passing, Yu Tingting who was pulling was getting heavier and heavier, and his steps were getting heavier and heavier.
"Sister Ting......" Xiao Ling's voice was hoarse, and he turned his head and shouted full of fear.
He saw Yu Tingting with white hair, as white as frost, and fell to the ground, unable to move.
Xiao Ling had a sour nose, standing in place, looking around, including the scientific expedition team and the elite team led by Sun Tao, a total of thirty-three people, except for him, everyone fell to the ground, everyone was old, life passed, and died.
Xiao Ling slowly raised his hands, and found that his hands were constantly becoming dry, with old age markings, like tree bark, caressing his face, his face was crawling with dense wrinkles, his eyesight and hearing were declining, his legs were getting heavier and heavier, and he would be out of breath with every step.
