Chapter 32: The Slimy Task II
Pushing open the door of the villa, a rancid smell came to his face, so that he couldn't smoke Team Li's head.
"!" He scolded lightly.
Although it was daytime, the curtains in the house were drawn for some reason, so the room was a little dark. Without hesitation, Team Li directly turned on the portable flashlight on the shoulder of the explosion-proof suit, and a wide and bright light came out, this special flashlight can provide illumination for a full 10 hours without interruption, so it can be used almost without restraint.
He walked into the room, the floor was slimy, and his shoes could pull out long silk threads, like glue.
"What the hell?" The short, hairless man asked with a disgusted expression.
"It must be some kind of smucus secreted by something...... "Team Li whispered, and led the way into the house.
I don't know how many guns the mouse has on his body, but in short, he took out two more from behind and followed carefully.
"Like, this mission is just a man-eating monster or something, right?"
He said, carefully observing his surroundings.
To be honest, in D-class missions, mutant creatures are pretty easy to handle, because under normal circumstances, just shoot at them.
Then, the man with gloves also walked into the room, he didn't take out any weapons, and he didn't care too much about the slimy liquid under his feet, so he followed the three people in front of him very generously.
It was only at this time that Chen Xiao probed his brain into the house.
"Huo ~ this taste...... Why, it's going to be rotten for a week, can't anyone in the neighborhood smell it, and only called the police today? Chen Xiao pondered, and did not enter the house. Instead, he crouched down and poked his fingers at the slime on the ground.
"Hmm...... Very thick and has a greater adhesion than glue...... And it doesn't taste good! He whispered, don't worry, he didn't eat, just sniffed, although it felt like he was completely capable of doing a mouthful of things and a chirp in passing.
"Look at this viscosity, there is no sign of air drying at all, it should be a new paste here, the toxicity is not known for the time being, but it is not corrosive, that is, if you fight with this thing hand-to-hand, you won't suffer too much if you have a knife." Chen smiled and muttered.
I don't know what he thinks, who would go up and fight it hand-to-hand if it can secrete such a disgusting mucus.
After looking at the slime under his eyes, he looked at the nearby floor again, looking for any strange footprints, judging the weight and height of the thing, and guessing things like muscle density and strength by the way.
However, because the area covered by the mucus is too large, it seems that there are no traces.
At this time, the "mouse" who had already walked a certain distance turned around, looked at Chen Xiao who was still squatting at the door, and yelled at him with an impatient look: "Hey, that fool, hurry up and keep up!" ”
Chen Xiao didn't care, hehe Yile, took the time to look at the wall and the ceiling overhead, and then followed "bumpily".
"Don't try to hide in the back, don't you hear!" The mouse glared at Chen Xiao and said, now in his eyes, Chen Xiao is really a second fool who ran over to mix tasks.
"Go, pull the curtains back over there!"
He yelled and pressed the switch on the light on the lower wall.
Sure enough, the lights didn't come on.
Chen Xiao walked to the window, first rubbed the fabric, sniffed it, and then opened the curtain.
……
"Huo~~ is so tight!" He sighed.
The entire window in front of me was covered in the same thick layer of slime as the floor. As a result, only a small fraction of the light can pass through.
"Huh?" Then he was stunned for a moment, as if he had noticed something strange, and quickly ran to another window and opened the curtains.
Sure enough, like the previous one, it was also covered in thick slime.
"Strange ......," he muttered, frowning.
At this time, the mouse's gaze came over.
"Damn, it's even on the window!" He scolded Lai Lai and said, with a disgusting expression on his face.
Immediately afterward, the other three also looked this way.
"Do you want to break it?" The hairless man asked, casually raising his gun.
Team Lee patted his arm and shook his head.
"It's useless, the glass will stick together, unless you detain that big lump, otherwise the sunlight won't shine through much! And whatever it was, it hadn't moved yet, and the shot might have spooked it. ”
What Team Li said made a lot of sense, but Chen Xiao didn't care about these people's conversations at all, he just looked at the curtain thoughtfully.
"Judging by the thickness of the mucus and the shape of its spread, it must have been sprayed layer by layer by something." He reached out and touched the slime on the window, most of it was dry: "Judging from the dust, this curtain has been closed for a few days, so it means that the room was already full of corpse stench and slime when the curtain was drawn, so this person is still staying in the house?" Or is it this guy who is squirting slime everywhere with the curtains closed? That's pretty much a lot of wisdom. ”
Just as he was thinking, the hairless man's voice came.
"Hey, who, don't stand there. Come here! He pointed to the middle of the living room.
From the very beginning, he looked at Chen Xiao unpleasantly, especially the disgusting smile that always hung on his face, which made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Just stand here and don't move, you know," he said fiercely, "and if you look around, shoot him if you see something strange!" ”
Chen Xiao ignored him, still thinking about the curtain in his head.
The bald man looked at him thoughtfully, and pouted in disgust. Scolded: "Waste! Then he turned around and followed the other three and began to search the floor separately.
......
......
Although this is a villa, it is not too big in terms of a single layer, and it doesn't take a few minutes to look at the entire first floor, and Chen Xiao has mastered the basic situation at a casual glance.
First of all, from the family photo on the wall, we know that this is a family of three, the male owner is in his 40s, engaged in medical work, there is a book stained with slime on the sofa, and the cover is drawn with a CT diagram of the human brain, and basically no one will be idle to read that kind of book.
There are not a few pairs of women's shoes on the shoe rack at the door, but there are three pairs of women's slippers at home, and there are two sets of folded aprons in the kitchen, and the placement of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar is very reasonable, so it can be guessed that the hostess should be a housewife or do a very light job.
And the boy knew as soon as he was old that he was a high school student.
A calendar was attached to the door of the refrigerator, and the date from 9 days ago was circled, and the rain was marked with a pen next to it. Probably because the man has to go out or has something important to do outside and needs to stay outside. There are still leather shoes he changed when he came back at the door.,That is, since the male protagonist came home.,Haven't gone out.,So the body should be in which room in this villa.,Judging from the taste.。 He died almost two to three days after returning home. So could it be that he went out and brought something strange home?
There was no sign of a fight around, so the "anomalous object" was able to kill the person quietly or quickly.
But what about the slime?
Chen Xiaopestle was bored thinking about it, but in fact, it only took him a few seconds to think about these thoughts.
At this moment, the hairless man had just pushed open a bedroom door next to the living room.
"Evil~~~~" He frowned and made an expression that was about to vomit: "Found it!" He clutched his nose and whispered.
The moment he opened the door just now, Chen Xiao knew that there was a corpse in the room that had been rotting for at least a week, and it was difficult to smell it. So, with an excited face, he was the first to come over.
"Huo~~~ It's not a waste at all!" This was Chen Xiao's second exclamation in just five minutes, fortunately, he had seen the curious form of the "angel" sister before, otherwise he would definitely be unable to help but complain a few more times now.
The corpse in front of him was like Chen Xiao's evaluation, it was not wasted at all, it was eaten very cleanly, no, it should have been sucked cleanly.
The whole body was shriveled, only a pair of human skin was left hanging on the skeleton, and the remaining skin on the surface had long been rotten like new flowers blooming, and the yellow-white bones between the rotten flesh could be clearly seen.
It is worth noting that a hole was made in the side of his head, and it was empty when he looked in.
Team Lee walked into the bedroom with a gun in hand.
"I've been dead for at least a week." He said lightly, and stomped on the corpse's shriveled stomach with a scream.
"There's nothing left, it should be dissolved and blotted dry!"
The mouse frowned again, and then looked at the hole in the corpse's head: "Sucked dry?" Super big mosquitoes? ”
As he spoke, he must have thought of being inserted into his brain with a long pointed mouthpiece, and then slowly sucking his flesh and blood dry little by little. The whole body was uncomfortably excited.
"It's pretty much the same, and there's no sign of a fight, and the target is probably fast." Team Li said: "Let's go, let's do this on the first floor, go to the second floor to have a look, be mental, this guy may be quite dangerous!" ”
As he spoke, he looked up at Chen Xiao on the side and hesitated for a moment.
......
"Stones! You go ahead! He said
Chen Xiao could see that he just wanted to let himself go ahead, but he didn't know whether he felt that it was a little unkind to let such a novice with no equipment go to the front, or whether he felt that he might delay things in addition to sending him to death, in short, he thought about it again and again and didn't say it.
Immediately to Chen Xiao's surprise, the bald man with blue-gray skin on the side called "Stone" nodded immediately. It seems to be very accepting of this arrangement.
Speaking of which, if Team Lee's speculation is correct, this "big mosquito" that secretes mucus all over the house should be dangerous. Letting you go ahead when you are clearly told that there is danger, ordinary people must be unhappy, maybe you will be seconds when you open the door.
But "Stone" was visibly emotionless, as if he should have gone ahead.
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at his blue-gray skin again, with a look of "I see", and nodded.
