Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 32: The Mysterious Him
When I heard the stone man's arm mentioned in his narrative, I leaned over to my side. And the fat man and the scorpion beside me also had their brows locked up.
The four of us have seen the power of the "Prairie Stone Man", and, in addition to Yiyi, me, the fat man and the scorpion, all three of us have personally dealt with these stone men.
What is certain is that the arm of the stone man hidden behind the corpse must be the arm of the "steppe stone man" we saw.
However, it was a little strange for all four of us that half of the stone man's arms they found were actually skinned!
I don't know if Sister Ning has dealt with these stone people, but judging by Sister Ning's expression and the performance of everyone in her team, they should not have really come into contact with these "steppe stone people".
Sister Ning's team, discipline and prudence are impeccable.
People who have seen big scenes are generally able to control their curiosity. I think that after Sister Ning and the others knew that we were in danger, before they rescued us, they would not be easily contaminated with those uncertain dangers.
He didn't really care about our reaction, and still got caught up in his own memories.
As if any of our actions had nothing to do with him, his purpose was to pour out this suffocating thing in his heart.
When the stone man's arm passed through the wall and appeared in front of such a group of experts in various fields, their reactions were different.
Of course, in addition to curiosity, everyone will inevitably have a fear mentality.
It's normal to have this kind of mentality, after all, these people don't have any special training, and they will naturally think about it in the face of the strange arms that appear in front of them.
Fortunately, there are three professionals in their team to escort them.
At the moment when the stone man's arm appeared, the one who had been acting as the leader of this team was a little overweight, and directly gave an order to keep everyone away from that arm.
And as fast as he could, it was too late to pull the biologist who was examining the body.
While his arm was still in the air, the stone man's arm sticking out of the wall had already grabbed the neck of the already dazed biologist.
Seeing this, the other two professional "tomb robbers" reacted quickly, grabbing a handful of lime from their respective backpacks and scattering it almost as the stone man's arm was about to grab the biologist's neck!
With a shrill scream, the stone man's arm sticking out of the wall immediately let go, and at the same time, the hand of the leader of the team also grabbed the biologist's body.
And there was no danger to save this biological expert who was already scared and didn't dare to move!
The stone man's arm was covered in lime, and as if frightened, it quickly retracted into the wall.
The wall that the stone man's arm passed through was fused with the surrounding stone materials at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, there was no trace of any holes.
Once again, this phenomenon shocked the expert, who had studied geological changes all his life.
He really couldn't think of how this phenomenon of self-healing as if the stone was alive came about.
It wasn't until one of their experiences later that he understood what it was all about, and in his words, they saw the "code of life", that is, the mystery of life!
By the time he uttered the words of the mystery of life, his mental state had reached its worst, and it took a lot of effort to even speak angrily.
Sister Ning saw that his state was a little bad, and glanced at Zhang Xiuxiu beside him. Zhang Xiuxiu quickly understood, began to take out the cotton swab and continued to wipe his lips, and dipped some sweet honey water on the cotton swab, hoping to restore his breath.
This effect really worked, and after he felt Zhang Xiuxiu's honey swab, his eyes, which had become a little blurry, instantly recovered some essence.
There are even signs of a return to light.
All of us who were watching his presence did not bother his recovery. Even the fat man, who talks a lot on weekdays, has become quiet at the moment.
Just as we were quietly waiting for him to recover, so that we could continue to describe what the "life code" they saw was, a sudden hissing sound came from the honeycomb-shaped mysterious space not far from us!
I was already familiar with this kind of scream, and it was the voice of Ah Jin, who had led me here and almost killed me!
After this hissing sound, the surviving geologist, who was already difficult to speak, suddenly got up half-sitting!
Pointing to the distant hiss, he shouted at a volume several times higher than the number of decibels he had in recounting their experiences:
"He... He's coming! ”
Seeing him looking at the mysterious space in the distance in horror and saying some inexplicable words, the fat man finally couldn't help but speak.
"Hey! I said brother, calm down, how can anyone come, this broad daylight! ”
Sister Ning turned her head and glared at the fat man, so frightened that the fat man shrank his neck, and immediately stopped talking!
This picture made me want to laugh a little in my heart, but what the fat man said was exactly what I wanted to ask.
This hissing sound was clearly made by Ah Jin. Because every time we hear this voice, Ah Jin will appear at the right time.
And for him who said "he's coming" in horror, does he mean Ah Jin? Could it be that when they discovered the mystery of life, Ah Jin was there? Or is there something else going on?
All this was known only to the geologist in front of him, who was once again rejuvenated by Ah Jin's hissing.
"Scorpion, you take someone to see!"
Before the hissing sounded fell, Sister Ning turned her head and gave an order to the scorpion standing beside me.
"Good! ... You three come with me! ”
After the scorpion responded simply, he quickly ordered the three of them and chased after the place where the hissing sound came from!
"Don't go deep, just probe!"
When the scorpions had just walked out a short distance, Sister Ning instructed again.
The scorpion didn't speak, still maintaining its original speed, and led the three people he had handpicked forward. However, it is not that I haven't heard Sister Ning's entrustment. His response was to make an O-shaped gesture without looking back, reaching out to the air with one hand to show that he knew!
"He... It's really him..."
When the hiss had fallen for a while, the geologist was still repeating the phrase.
Even for the honey water that Zhang Xiuxiu sent to his mouth, he was completely disinterested!
"Are you alright?"
While I was still paying attention to his state, Sister Ning turned back to me, the fat man, and Yiyi and asked.
Before Yiyi and I could answer, the fat man answered first.
"It's okay, it's okay, with our physique, even if we are sleepy for another ten days and half a month, there will be no problems!"
For the fat man's earnest answer, Sister Ning didn't seem to hear it, and still looked at me and Yiyi with inquiring eyes.
"I'm almost recovered... Your injuries shouldn't be a big deal, right, Su Mo? ”
After answering Sister Ning's question, Yiyi turned to me and asked.
"Also.. Does it still hurt? Should.. It's time for a dressing change.."
I was just about to answer, when I heard a gentle voice from behind me, it was Xiao Qian's voice.
After Xiaoqian finished speaking, Yiyi also echoed:
"Su Mo, listen to Xiaoqian, I'll change the dressing later."
When Sister Ning turned her attention to us, I knew that this surviving geologist had reached the point of running out of oil.
Although he is still repeating the phrase: "He... It's really him.."
However, after each finish, the voice became quieter and quieter. It's even to the point where there is more gas out and less air intake!
With his state, I guess it won't be long before he takes his last breath.
By this time the sky had already brightened, and the sun had risen from behind the mountains in the distance, and began to move towards the middle of the sky.
In this early autumn season, this vast region of Xinjiang does not have the autumn tiger temperatures in most parts of China. Yes, it's a little cool. Even during the day, it is cooler than at night.
This feeling is probably due to the sudden cool breeze, which came very suddenly, as if it was formed instantly.
And it got bigger and bigger, and the voices of the geologists in front of us, who were still chattering and saying the same thing, began to tremble.
In the distance, the scorpion occasionally emerges from the bushes, but most of the time, it is hidden in the bushes.
The scream, which I hated so much, never went off again after it had managed to get our attention!
In my previous experience, every time there is a hissing sound of Akin, something must have changed around us.
In other words, Ah Jin's hissing sound is particularly purposeful.
However, I couldn't imagine what the purpose of Ah Jin's hissing would be.
"You! It's you! Haven't you already escaped? How can I come back! ”
Just when we had stopped paying all our attention to the dying man, he suddenly stopped repeating the same words, but said something even more fascinating!
When he said this, he was looking at the crowd on our side.
"I said, dude, you've fallen for evil, haven't you?"
The fat man asked when he saw his state.
When he heard the fat man's words, he turned his head to look at the fat man, and then he still looked at us.
At the same time, he said:
"You go! He's alive! ”
"Su Mo, how do I feel that he is talking to you?"
Hearing his words, I looked left and right at the people around me, trying to determine who he was talking to.
When Yiyi's words rang in my ears, I realized that the position he was looking at was really the position I was standing! He said this to me!
