The bomb given by Situ Cao in his pocket has been used up, but there is still a smoke bomb made by Situ Cao.

At that moment, I couldn't care about anything.

He quickly took out a smoke bomb and a lighter, lit the fuse, and quickly threw it into the house.

"Run!!"

I let out a low roar, then pulled Zhang Qiang and ran towards the stairs.

呲~~~

White smoke quickly spread through the room we had been in.

The blue metal stick insect paused for a second, and then as if receiving a signal, it quickly rushed in the direction of our escape.

At this point, we have come to the side of the stairs.

Zhang Qiang was about to turn back, but I hurriedly pulled him down and ran down.

"Don't look, run!" After I finished speaking, I dragged Zhang Qiang and ran down.

Three-meter, two-meter, one-meter......

Seeing that the dense blue metal stick insects behind us were about to approach us.

However, at the last second, all the bugs suddenly writhed wildly, and then all of them turned into liquid, then vaporized and disappeared into the air.

At this time, Zhang Qiang and I had already run to the top of the stairs on the third floor, and we were just about to continue down.

However, the feeling of danger behind him suddenly disappeared.

"Wait."

Realizing that the danger was over, I paused and stopped where I was.

"What's wrong? They're coming, what are you waiting for? Zhang Qiang looked at me inexplicably, obviously a little anxious.

I calmed down, turned my head to look up, and said in a tone of uncertainty that "I feel as if the danger should have been removed." ”

"What? Eliminated? What does it mean? Zhang Qiang saw that I didn't seem to be joking, so he looked at me in surprise.

"Don't you feel it? If they were really still chasing us, they would have caught up with us for the time we were staying. ”

I frowned slightly, thinking of the vaporized stick insects in the cave before, and a conjecture suddenly came out of my heart.

After thinking for two seconds, I suddenly clenched Zhang Qiang's hand: "Let's go, let's go back and have a look!" ”

"Huh? Gao, Gao Wei...... There's nothing wrong with you, kid, right? It was you who told me to run away just now, and now it's you who told me to go back, and if you pull me back now, aren't you just going to die? Zhang Qiang had a green face and wanted to break away from my hand.

I glanced at him, "Don't scream, trust me, I won't hurt you." ”

I don't know if Zhang Qiang was frightened by my words, he blinked, and he really stopped resisting.

In this way, I pulled Zhang Qiang again and carefully went up to the fourth floor.

There, there was nothing.

Not a single stick insect can be seen.

All the bugs are gone.

Not even the corpses were left.

Originally, Zhang Qiang was still afraid, but seeing this, his shrunken body immediately straightened up.

"Hey, you're really right. Are those stick insects really gone? This...... What the hell is going on? As he spoke, Zhang Qiang became a little suspicious again: "No, how would you know." ”

I didn't talk to him, but walked back and forth in the hallway twice, and then went back into the room before I took a look.

There is indeed nothing left.

Those stick insects seem to have disappeared out of thin air.

When I turned my head, I found that Zhang Qiang was still looking at me with an inexplicable expression.

With a light cough, I said, "Actually, this is what my sixth sense told me." I think these stick insects have something to do with these mutations. In other words, as long as humans or other creatures mutate, they will produce such blue metal stick insects in their bodies. When we kill a zombie, these metal stick insects lose their host, so they frantically approach nearby creatures in order to find a new one. But they survive for a short time when exposed to air, and as long as they exceed that time, they die. Remember the bugs we saw in the cave before? At that time, they were liquefied first, and then vaporized and disappeared. I guess they're all of the same type. So when we come back now, we can't see any of the corpses, because they've been completely vaporized. Of course, these are just my conjectures, and no one can say what the truth is. ”

Zhang Qiang listened to my analysis and seemed to think it deeply: "Listening to you say this, it is really possible that this is the case." In other words, if we encounter such bugs in the future, as long as we delay a little time and expose them to the air, we don't need to deal with them, they will die on their own? ”

"Yes, that's it." I smiled and nodded.

I looked left and right and saw that there was no other danger, so I said to Zhang Qiang: "Now that the danger has been lifted, let's hurry up and find out where the fragments are hidden!" ”

In this way, Zhang Qiang and I once again walked into the room we had entered earlier.

In the room, the corpses of the two big fat zombies were still lying on the ground, their abdominal cavity had broken a big hole, blood and pus splashed all over the room, and the smell could be imagined.

I frowned slightly, and after glancing at Zhang Qiang, I began to search the room.

However, disappointingly, there were only empty boxes inside.

Left, only the last room remained.

"Looks like it's definitely in the next room." Zhang Qiang pinched his teeth, looked at me and said.

I nodded: "No wonder, if you think about it, the location where the two big fat zombies were standing at that time was near the door of the second room, I thought it was just a coincidence at first, but now I think about it......"

"Don't think about it, let's go over and have a look!" Zhang Qiang interrupted me: "Have you forgotten that the zombies below are gathering more and more? Let's hurry up and find something, let's slip away! ”

I shook my head a little amusedly, and then followed Zhang Qiang quickly to the next room.

The two of them worked together, and after a while, I noticed something strange about the floor under the closet.

After calling Zhang Qiang, the two of them worked together to remove the wardrobe, and we finally found that a few floor tiles under the wardrobe were loose.

Zhang Qiang and I glanced at each other, put my fingers into the gap between the floor tiles, and pulled one of the floor tiles out of the ground.

The moment the floor tiles were removed, a familiar metallic sheen suddenly appeared underneath.

After removing all the loose floor tiles, the box hidden inside was suddenly revealed.

I hesitated for a second, then lifted the box up.

This time, the box was locked, but this little problem was not difficult for Zhang Qiang.

He quickly took out a piece of wire and tinkered with it a few times, and the lock opened.

There were two things inside—a yellowed fragment and a vial of blue reagent.

Strangely enough, in the Forest of No Return, the fragments, reagents, and small maps were kept together, but here, the three things were placed separately.

Is it because ...... Increased difficulty?

I frowned slightly and slipped the thing into my arms.

With all three things in hand, what needs to be considered now is the issue of leaving.
