Chapter 234: Mutation

"Is there such a leopard on Earth?" Yin Wanmeng gently touched the layer of scale armor on the leopard's legs, "This is the scale armor of the snake, and it grows up, there can't be someone on this island who is so bored to transplant the snake's skin to the four legs of the leopard, right?" ”

The falcon was staring at the cave: "Maybe the wood plague is in the cave now." ”

Yin Wanmeng said: "If we are here, we have to try to smash this thing into slag, and then bring the fragments back and seal them in spruce logs." ”

It stands to reason that the weapons they hold in their hands can easily break the wood plague to pieces, as long as they knock it down and add a grenade, then it is all over.

Although the cautious Wei Chiran and the others knew this clearly, they did not take it lightly, but covered each other and walked towards the cave.

As they walked into the cave, the dead leopard at the door slowly got up, stood there in a strange posture, opened its eyes and stared into the cave, and its eyes were pitch black, and the original pupils were gone, replaced by a black whirlpool.

Zhang Tiezhu, who was walking at the end of the line, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look out of the cave.

After Wei Chiran found Zhang Tiezhu who had stopped, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Tiezhu said: "I feel something approaching. ”

Except for the falcon, Wei Chiran and Yin Wanmeng both looked out of the cave, but they didn't see anything.

But in the darkness, they only lit the way into the cave, and did not notice that the leopard had crawled slowly towards them along the top of the cave.

The leopard did not immediately attack them, just hung there quietly upside down.

After observing for a while, Wei Chiran did not notice anything unusual, and motioned for the team to move on.

Walking into the end of the cave, they did not find the wood plague, only the body of the forest kicker who was killed by the wood plague a few days ago.

Saker quipped, "It seems that after the death of the Mori Kicker, he will not become a monster with a fish-headed body at night." ”

It was this sentence that suddenly reminded Wei Chiran, and Wei Chiran looked at Zhang Tiezhu next to him: "It's night, why haven't you changed?" ”

Zhang Tiezhu also seemed to have forgotten about it, and he also touched his head in surprise: "Yes? Why? ”

Yin Wanmeng raised his gun and pointed it at Zhang Tiezhu: "Stand there and don't move, Saker, you hid him in the tree last night?" ”

Saker turned his head: "yes, what's wrong?" ”

Wei Chi reminded the falcon: "Wood plague can take on the form of a human. ”

Saker said, "Shouldn't he be controlled by wood plague, right?" Although wood plague can become a human, it is not like him, he can talk and communicate, and he ......"

The falcon stopped when he said this, because he saw the leopard hanging above Zhang Tiezhu's head.

"Upper." The falcon said in a low voice, and Wei Chiran and Yin Wanmeng also immediately spotted the leopard, and subconsciously raised the gun in their hands.

Wei Chiran stared at the leopard, and at the same time said to Zhang Tiezhu: "When I let you run, you turn around and run out of the hole, don't look back, you know?" ”

Zhang Tiezhu also realized that there was something above his head, although he didn't raise his head, but from the performance of Wei Chiran and others, it could be judged that this thing was terrifying and would bring harm to himself, and he nodded slowly in a cold sweat.

"Listen to me." Yin Wanmeng said slowly, "I'll count to three and fire together...... One, two, three, fire! ”

The three of them pulled the trigger together, and the flames from the muzzle of the gun immediately illuminated the entire cave, and the black leopard was instantly hit by countless bullets, falling directly from the top and slamming heavily on the ground.

The three of them changed their magazines and continued to shoot at the thing until they smashed the leopard to pieces.

Yin Wanmeng gasped and said, "Take out the waterproof bag and put this thing back." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Are you sure this is wood plague?" ”

Yin Wanmeng shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but it's better to bring it back than to stay here, right?" ”

Just when Wei Chi was about to start cleaning up the remains of the leopard, Zhang Tiezhu ran back with a frightened look, stood there and pointed outside, and didn't say a word for a long time.

The falcon stepped forward and pressed Zhang Tiezhu's shoulder: "What's wrong?" ”

"Outside, it's ...... outside" Zhang Tiezhu said these words for a long time, and he seemed to be frightened, and he couldn't stop trembling.

The three of them no longer cared about the remains of the leopard on the ground, but ran to the mouth of the cave, but when they reached the hole, they found that there was nothing outside.

Wei Chi looked at the dark cave and suddenly said, "Oh no! ”

Wei Chi ran back quickly, Yin Wanmeng and Saker also immediately followed, and when the three of them ran to the remains of the original leopard, they found Zhang Tiezhu gobbling up the remains of the killed leopard, and after finding them returning, he also showed a strange smile at them.

Wei Chiran's first reaction was to pull the trigger and fire, but Zhang Tiezhu jumped towards the cave wall at a very strange speed, and then ran around the cave wall, and after avoiding the range of fire, he rushed out of the cave at a very fast speed.

Wei Chiran and the three of them chased after each other, firing as they ran, but they still didn't catch up with Zhang Tiezhu, because Zhang Tiezhu's speed was too fast, like a leopard.

The three people standing at the entrance of the cave panted and watched into the darkness, completely unaware of how all this had happened.

After a long time, Wei Chiran said: "It seems that Zhang Tiezhu is a wood plague." ”

Yin Wanmeng said: "No, he should be controlled by the wood plague." ”

The falcon frowned and said: "Yes, I tied him to the tree with my own hands, and I paid attention to it when I untied it, and the knot was still the same as last night, so he shouldn't be a wood plague." ”

Wei Chi Chi continued to analyze: "Perhaps, the body of the wood plague is in the body of that leopard, it deliberately lies at the mouth of the cave, wanting to attack us, but unexpectedly, we beat him into slag, just when we were about to take him back, he controlled Zhang Tiezhu to come back and devour his wreckage, completely occupying Zhang Tiezhu's body, and at the same time possessing the speed and flexibility of a leopard, and then ran away?" ”

Wei Chiran's bold analysis was affirmed by Saker and Yin Wanmeng.

Yin Wanmeng said again: "It seems that it is not so easy for Mu Plague to control a person. ”

"The most important thing is that the previous events have taught us that the wood plague is intelligent, and very intelligent, not just a simple monster that can suck blood and kill. ”

Yin Wanmeng asked again: "But, why, there are so many opportunities during the day today, and the wood plague has not moved us?" Also, the forest kicking people who are controlled by the wood plague will not turn into a monster with a fish head and a human body, what is going on? ”

Wei Chiran thought for a while and said, "Thinking about Qiu Zhonghua's previous experience, it seems that the wood plague will only act in a dark environment, so it will not make any moves during the day, and it must wait until night." ”

Saker agreed: "It makes sense, it should be so, so, I suggest, we don't act at night." ”

Yin Wanmeng looked at her watch and said, "There are still many hours before dawn, and that thing should be afraid of fire, so light a bonfire at the entrance of the cave and hold on until tomorrow morning." ”

The trio lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave as planned, and then decided to take turns keeping vigils, in two-hour shifts, and anyone on duty had to wake up anyone else.

However, just as they were about to enter the cave to rest, they heard a rustle in the woods outside, and the three of them turned to look into the darkness, and then saw what seemed to be black water rushing towards them.

It wasn't until the so-called black water was close to the bonfire that the three of them saw clearly that it was a black snake, all of which were gathered together and swam towards this direction, looking like flowing black liquid in the dark.

The trio began to slowly retreat towards the cave, hoping that the campfire would keep the snakes at bay.

Wei Chiran said: "Wood plague can control people and animals, we forgot about this matter, it's over." ”

Those snakes didn't seem to be the body of the wood plague, just controlled animals, so they weren't afraid of flames at all, and after the first batch of snakes directly used their bodies to extinguish the flames, the second batch pressed on the corpses of the first batch and continued to attack the cave.

The falcon tried to fire, but because there were so many snakes, the bullets didn't do much.

The falcon stepped back and said, "Guess how many snakes there are on this island?" ”

Wei Chi said: "There are not only snakes, but also other animals. ”

Yin Wanmeng frowned and said, "Shut up, think of a way, okay!" ”

Saker took out a white phosphorus bomb: "White phosphorus bomb, everyone step back." ”

As he spoke, the falcon threw it forward, and the white phosphorus bomb exploded and then burned, in the flames, they saw those snakes twisting their bodies, and the bodies of many of the burned snakes actually exploded directly, and the bodies were split into two halves, just like mouths, and the most terrifying thing was that there were countless sharp teeth on both sides of the body.

There is no doubt that the animals on this island seem to have mutated, like the leopard that had its legs covered in snake scales.

The white phosphorus bomb quickly burned out, and the group of snakes behind continued to move forward, without the slightest intention of retreating.

Wei Chiran asked, "How many white phosphorus bombs are there?" ”

Yin Wanmeng said: "There is only one person, we didn't bring so many weapons, and we didn't come to fight!" ”

Wei Chiran handed his own one to the falcon: "Hold on as long as you can, in short, I don't want to be bitten to death by these mutated snakes, I'd rather give myself a shot." ”

Saker said, "Me too." ”

The three of them finally retreated to the end of the cave, and the remaining two white phosphorus bombs were all used.

Wei Chiran looked at the approaching group of snakes, pulled out a pistol and aimed it at his head, Yin Wanmeng glanced at him, and gritted his teeth to do so, and the heartless guy of the falcon was still joking: "I'll help you drag, you two will die first, wait for me on the Huangquan Road for a while." ”

Wei Chiran couldn't help laughing, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, he heard a man's voice from behind: "These things are afraid of the sound of metal knocking." ”

Wei Chi trembled, Yin Wanmeng and Saker also turned back sharply, but saw that a man who was still sleeping there had woken up at some point, leaning against the cave wall, looking at them.

The man added, "If you don't want to die, do it right away!" ”

Wei Chi said: "We don't have metal!" ”

The man looked at the gun in Wei Chiran's hand: "Isn't the gun just metal?" ”

The man's reminder made the three people who were originally panicked almost not slap themselves, but the man reminded again: "Pay attention to close the insurance and don't go off." ”
