Chapter 20: Catching Up

Qiu Tian said: "You haven't been tested, there is no virus here. There was no illness found in the villager named Huang Dawang, Xia Yong's arm was only scratched, and he would not be infected with anything, why cut off his left arm? ”

Comrade Liu did not answer and walked out of the wooden house.

Qiu Tian gently leaned Xia Yong against the wall and followed him out, in the wind and rain, the two walked to the cage with their guns, and the ghost was still struggling in the cage, and the cage swayed. Qiu Tian looked at the ghost: What kind of creature is this?

Comrade Liu ignored the ghost and walked to the two broken arms, at this time the wind and rain were already small, Xia Yong and the ghost's arms were on the ground, the ghost's arm kept grabbing, holding Xia Yong's wrist tightly, getting tighter and tighter, and Xia Yong's left arm was also shaking, as if he was very afraid.

When Qiu Tian saw this scene, he was secretly surprised: How could Xia Yong's broken arm still move?

Comrade Liu took out a flashlight, looked carefully at the entangled broken arm, and suddenly said, "Look! ”

Qiu Tian looked at it when he heard the sound and observed it carefully, the contact between Xia Yong's left wrist and the ghost's fingers had changed, the color had turned black, and the muscle tissue had even grown together with the ghost's claws.

Comrade Liu shone a flashlight on these two arms, and as soon as the ghost arm met the light, it immediately twitched violently, and smoked, struggling to wriggle on the mud, as if trying to escape. Xia Yong's broken arm also had the same reaction in the place where it changed color, his left hand was like a cramp, clutching painfully, while the part of his arm that did not change did not respond to the light.

Qiu Tian thought to himself: It seems that Xia Yong's broken arm has been touched by the ghost's hand, and it has really mutated! So, did the missing villagers become ghosts because they came into contact with something in the mountains?

The two returned to the wooden house and saw that Xia Yong was still leaning against the wooden wall, his eyes closed. Qiu Tian thought for a while and said, "Comrade Liu, what is going on?" Is it a virus? ”

Comrade Liu shook his head and said: "I have measured that there is no abnormality in the air, water source, soil, and plants in the nearby area. He continued: "It's most likely not a virus. Although Qiu Tian didn't know what kind of creature it was, he also felt that it was not a virus, and Comrade Liu said coldly: "This may be another form of life that has invaded the bodies of the villagers." Qiu Tian thought to himself: If the mutation of the biological matrix is caused by lesions or other reasons, these villagers must have retained the original life system and structure, no matter what, as long as it is an animal in the world, if it is hit by a bullet in the head and heart, it will definitely lose the ability to move, and it is impossible to live, but this kind of creature does not exist in the form of life on the earth, what are they? Is this the ghost?

Comrade Liu was expressionless and said: "It seems that this is a creature that can destroy human cells, the villagers of Huangjia Village have died after mutation, their body tissues are occupied by this creature, although they retain the tissue structure of the human body on the surface, and they still operate in the face of human beings, but they have actually become another life, there is no organ division, even if there is no head, the limbs are mutilated, the internal organs are damaged, and even only one finger is left, they are all alive, they live like cells, But it is by no means a cell tissue, they attack human beings, they should be interested in human bodies, constantly attacking human beings, and then multiplying and expanding. ”

Comrade Liu said coldly: "This is a creature that does not belong to the earth. ”

Qiu Tian understood what Comrade Liu meant, and at present, he could only explain the mutation of the villagers in this way, but he and Comrade Liu were also worried: If this creature attacked humans, would it also attack other animals in the mountains? Will the animals in the mountains become like this? It seems that Huang Dawang really has a big fate, and he was chased by these ghosts for three days, but he was not touched by them.

Qiu Tian looked at Xia Yong, who was dying, and said, "Xia Yong will be fine, right?" We've already cut off his arm, so we shouldn't be ......," he continued: "The speed of this creature's infection doesn't seem to be too fast, and Xia Yong's arm hasn't completely mutated yet, so it shouldn't mutate." ”

Comrade Liu had a gloomy face and said, "I don't know. ”

Qiu Tian thought to himself that Comrade Liu broke Xia Yong's left arm with a gun, which seemed to be ruthless and humane, but in fact he wanted to save Xia Yong's life. Qiu Tian thought about it at this time, the choice at that time was actually very difficult, if he was wrong, maybe Xia Yong would lose an arm in vain, and he would be seriously injured and die, but Comrade Liu did not hesitate at all, and made a decision immediately, which really saved Xia Yong's life. Comrade Liu acted so resolutely and resolutely, and he had the demeanor of a general, and he must have experienced a hundred battles.

Qiu Tian looked at Xia Yong and said worriedly: "If Xia Yong ......" His words did not continue, but the meaning was obvious: What if Xia Yong mutated?

"Then kill me immediately, don't hesitate!" Xia Yong said suddenly, he struggled to move his body, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be soft!" It turned out that Xia Yong was not unconscious, but just lying there all the time.

Qiu Tian saw that Xia Yong had lost too much blood and his face was pale, but there was no abnormal change in the skin at the broken arm, Comrade Liu shone a flashlight on Xia Yong's broken arm, and then shined on Xia Yong's eyeballs, and asked, "How do you feel about the light?" ”

Xia Yong gritted his teeth and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, I don't feel anything yet." ”

Qiu Tian suddenly said: "Comrade Liu, since this creature is afraid of light, can we use light to 'disinfect'?" He took the searchlight, adjusted his position, and aimed it at Xia Yong's broken arm.

Xia Yong gasped and said, "Brother, don't bother with me, if I also become a ghost, up with a grenade, don't let me become that ghost!" He continued, "Or put me to the test and find out how to deal with the ghosts." ”

At this time, the rain outside stopped, and a cool wind blew, Comrade Liu looked at the tablet, the rain had passed, and there would be two days of sunny days.

Qiu Tian looked at Xia Yong's injuries and said, "Comrade Liu, Xia Yong's injuries are so serious, can you ask for support now?" He lost too much blood, and if he continued like this, I am afraid he would not be able to hold on. ”

Comrade Liu had a gloomy face and said: "No, no one can enter or leave until the level of security and confidentiality is reached, and this is already a forbidden area." ”

Qiu Tianjian said: "But Xia Yong needs to be rescued, and he can't drag it out any longer now." ”

Xia Yong licked his chapped lips and said, "...... Leave me alone, your business matters! Find out the ins and outs of the matter first! Qiu Tian thought to himself: In the battle just now, I don't know how the damage to those ghosts was, but the weapons and ammunition on hand are basically exhausted, how can I enter the mountain with only a few searchlights? Entering the mountains to investigate ghosts and monsters is no better than the ambush in Huangjia Village, the terrain in the mountains is complex, the environment is treacherous, and I don't know what is hidden, and now it is too dangerous to enter the mountains unarmed. It seems that it will be necessary to wait until daytime to have a chance to enter the mountain.

What's next? It seems that it is necessary to start with this captured goblin and study it.

Comrade Liu said: "Get ready, let's go right away!" ”

Qiu Tian was stunned, he and Xia Yong were taken aback: they are going to leave now, where are they going? In order to catch a ghost, Xia Yong has been seriously injured, and the three of them have become two people, and they are still in shock at the moment, what are they going to do?

Xia Yong said: "...... Comrade Liu...... What are you going to do? ”

Comrade Liu said coldly: "Track those creatures!" ”

Qiu Tian thought to himself: How to track down those ghosts? The current situation Xia Yong was seriously injured and died, and there was a lack of weapons, if those ghosts attacked again, it was still a question of whether they could hold on here, and how could they enter the mountain? Besides, how can those ghosts chase them?

Xia Yong also saw that this matter was too dangerous, and asked nervously: "Just ...... Just the two of you in the mountains? How's that going to work? Xia Yong's implication was that there were no weapons now, and there were only two people left, and it was too dangerous to go to the mountains.

Comrade Liu looked at the tablet and suddenly said, "Our equipment has arrived." ”
