Chapter 165: Emotional Breakdown

"See?"

"Hmm." Qin Jian turned the corpse back and said, "I thought this thing only grew on animals, but I didn't expect it to ......."

Hoston was surprised: "You've seen this thing before?" ”

"What I saw just now is on the top of a sika deer." Qin Jian replied, recalling that picture, it was still terrifying.

In the distance, the sound of Ma Baojin and others shouting was heard, and it was obvious that they had also discovered the anomaly on the corpse.

Soon Ma Baojin hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Boss! Top dog! It's so scary, the two corpses under the tree have ...... on them."

"I see!" Qin Jian interrupted him and said to Huo Si, "I suggest that we go back first, anyway...... The rest of the rebels are dead here, and our mission is accomplished. ”

Hoss nodded, and asked with a puzzled face, "I have a question, what killed them?" ”

"How do I know that?" Qin Jian spread his hands and replied, but the next second he suddenly frowned.

Something seemed to be flying behind them......

Qin Jian turned his head suddenly, but he didn't see anything.

Everyone was also taken aback by Qin Jian's overreaction, and hurriedly asked what happened.

"Let's get out of here quickly." Qin Jian only replied to them, although the surroundings were quiet and no danger was found, he always felt that they might encounter an ambush at any time.

In short, this place should not be stayed for a long time......

"Can you wait for me?" Hoss made another request.

Qin Jian was a little impatient: "What are you going to do?" ”

Hoss pulled out a lighter: "Burn those bodies." ”

"Then hurry up." Qin Jian did not object to his approach and urged.

Hoth picked two more of Mabaokin's men and told them to help him with the gasoline cans in the camp.

Although no one knows what the beating things on the corpses are, when it comes to burning them, everyone is very supportive, after all, it is so disgusting that even if you avoid it, you will be very disgusted once you think about it, and if you burn it, everyone's hearts will at least be balanced.

Ma Baojin had nothing to do, and wanted to find a tree to lean on for a while, and just put his hand on the tree, a strange touch caused him to frown.

"What's that?" Ma Baojin withdrew his hand with a confused face, and found that the palm of his hand was sticky with a slimy liquid, which felt a bit like glue and had a special sour smell.

"Gums?" Naturally, he thought of it.

But then he subconsciously looked at the tree in front of him.

After a few seconds, his eyes widened and he took a few steps back.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jian hurriedly ran over and asked.

Ma Baojin trembled and pointed to the tree: "Something grows on the tree!" ”

Qin Jian frowned, slowly approached the tree, and after a closer look, his eyes widened.

"Those things again?" Qin Jian couldn't help but sigh, if he didn't get so close, he wouldn't be able to see anything abnormal about this tree at all.

And if you look closely, it's amazing, on the whole tree, one grows in the east, one grows in the west, there are low trunks, there are also high trunks, almost all over the whole tree!

What's even more frightening is that the reason why people don't even notice this thing is because they are the same color as trees!

Qin Jian was scared and confused at the same time, what kind of sacredness was this thing, and it could actually change its color according to the environment?

Hearing Qin Jian say that there were also those things growing on the trees, the others also subconsciously looked at the surrounding trees, and soon, they exclaimed one after another.

"It's on this tree too!"

"Me too, at least two dozen of them!"

Everyone subconsciously left the trees on the side, but this was originally a forest, and in principle, every tree was a "time bomb", and it was useless for them to escape.

"Boss, I just ran into those things." Ma Baojin said with some fear, and quickly wiped his hand on his pants.

"Wash your hands!" Even if Qin Jian didn't know what the consequences would be if he touched that thing, he quickly reminded Ma Baojin to do it.

Compared to Qin Jian's worries, Ma Baojin just felt nauseous, and hurriedly asked someone to bring a water bottle to clean his left hand.

Five minutes later, the air was filled with the smell of scorching, and Hoss trotted back.

"Those things, they should be eggs." Hoss spoke.

Qin Jian had also guessed that the thing was an insect egg, after all, that thing could move, which could indirectly prove that there must be a "living thing" inside.

But Hoss's next words were more convincing than his reasoning.

"When I burned the body, I heard the sound of insects...... "Hoss nodded categorically, "It's from those things." ”

"You say...... What bug can lay eggs that big? Qin Jian took a breath of cold air and asked.

"I don't know, maybe, it's a mutant species, right?" Hoss said vigilantly: "There have been a lot of anomalies in this forest recently, for no reason and without any signs......

Qin Jian was a little enlightened when he heard this, nodded and said: "Old Huo Si originally wanted to tell me about this, but his heart is not good now, you should tell me about it after I go back, I have to make an investigation record." ”

As for why Horsner was bad, Hoss didn't know, but he didn't ask much, and nodded a little confused: "Okay." ”

"Okay, it's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go!" Qin Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said, and everyone couldn't wait to start retreating.

But in the next second, everyone felt that something was wrong, looked around, and questions came one after another.

"Where's old Hoss?"

"Who saw him?"

"Are you still here?"

At last one of his men stood up and immediately pointed in one direction and said, "I just saw him go that way!" ”

After listening to his subordinates' answers, Hoss was full of doubts and anxiety, and said in his heart that old Hoss usually doesn't have the habit of running around? How suddenly it was like this.

"It's okay Hoss, I know why he went......" Qin Jian saw his worry and immediately patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Huo Si nodded, and then Qin Jian led the team and returned to the rest place just now.

Seeing Khosner half-kneeling beside the sika deer, Qin Jian sighed, and said in his heart that he had guessed correctly.

Qin Jian called out to him, approaching step by step.

When he came to the front, Qin Jian unexpectedly found that the sika deer was lying on his side, his head was close to the ground, and his eyes were motionless......

It's out of breath...... It's not even fifteen minutes since I left just now, and it's obviously fine before......

"By the way, ......." Qin Jian patted Horsner's shoulder, and somehow said this.

Khosner turned his face to the side and did not speak, but Qin Jian knew that he was crying, because he had seen the tear stains on Khessner's face before he turned his face sideways.

Hoss walked slowly, saw the dead sika deer and the eggs on it, and immediately understood something.

Old Hoss wrote in his account that when he first moved into the forest of Doom, he was still at a low ebb, sometimes he was irritable and uncontrollable, sometimes he was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide, and it was not someone who gave him a second life, but the small animals of the forest......

Although this forest is full of dangerous zombies and beasts, most of the animals are very kind to him, such as sika deer, rabbits, and squirrels, who usually like to go to Khosner's side to make trouble, so that he no longer feels lonely, and even "sublimates" his soul, so that he is full of enlightenment, and returns to the town to adopt a child.

That child is, of course, him, and it can be said that without the help of these animals, he would never have known Khosner in his life and had such a free life.

And now, a sika deer died in front of him, and his heart is probably rotten.

"Old Hoss, it's time to go."

"There is danger ...... here"

Qin Jian and Hoss persuaded one after another, and then stepped forward left and right, trying to support Hosner.

"Who has wine? Give me a bottle of wine......" Horsner said suddenly, with a sad face.

Qin Jian felt as if he was talking nonsense, and immediately comforted: "This is outside, let's drink it when we go home!" ”

"Oh God...... It actually died in my arms! ”

Khosner complained bitterly, as if he had been drunk as much as mud.

"Please." Huo Si glanced at Qin Jian apologetically and turned around and ran.

Qin Jian looked back while comforting the "sick" Khosner.

Hoss ran to the carcass of the sika deer and set it on fire......

At this moment, he could clearly hear the fluttering of flames and the faint cacophony of insects......

I really don't know what kind of worm is hatching in such a large egg, in short, it's definitely not a beneficial insect.

Thirty minutes later, everyone returned to their home in Khosner.

As soon as Horsner entered the house, he picked up a box of wine and locked the door, Qin Jian and Horsner were heartbroken, knocking and shouting at the door, for fear that Horsner would have three strengths and two weaknesses because of this "unworthy" trivial matter.

After guarding the door for more than an hour or so, the sound of Khosner's snoring gradually came from the room, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
