Even Xiao Lin Lan herself couldn't tell where the blood came from, Qixing asked her where it hurt, and Xiao Lin Lan shook her head again and again.

Everyone was surprised, and Qixing glanced at the blood stains on the ground, and judging from the color, it was sure that it was blood. She was uneasy and checked on Xiao Lin Lan again.

Shen Hao was on the side at this time, and asked Xiao Lin Lan with a strange expression: "You, you won't be here for 'that', right?" ”

Although Xiao Lin Lan learned Chinese well, she didn't understand what Shen Hao meant at all, and she asked in surprise: "Which one to come?" ”

I rubbed Shen Hao with my elbow and told him to stop talking nonsense. Qixing also said: "Beast, shut up, it's not the kind of situation you said. ”

Seeing our strange expressions, Xiao Lin Lan was even more puzzled, and asked Qixing, "What did he mean by what he just said?" Seven Stars didn't answer, pretending not to hear.

Just when Qixing was examining Xiao Lin Lan's whole body for the second time, Sakai Haruko, who was beside Xiao Lin Lan, suddenly exclaimed: "And said that she was not injured, so where did so much blood come from?" Even the backpack is stained! ”

I looked at the backpack that was placed next to Xiao Lin Lan, and saw that along the bottom corner of the backpack, blood was oozing out, and a small pool had flowed out.

And the blood has flowed along the slope of the ground, and a red line has flowed out, and it is almost on Xiao Lin Lan's body.

Just when everyone was still stunned, An Beimo suddenly took a step forward and dragged Xiao Lin Lan up from the ground. Haruko Sakai was taken aback and said hurriedly: "What are you doing?" ”

An Beimo said to Sakai Haruko: "You should also stay away from those blood, don't touch it." Then he stared at Xiao Lin Lan and asked coldly, "Say!" What do you have in your backpack? ”

Xiao Lin Lan replied in astonishment: "It's all equipment for action!" It's pretty much the same as yours. ”

An Beimo's eyes became sharp, and his voice became even more cold: "You lie!" That blood is clearly coming out of your backpack, and you're still pretending to be confused here! Tell me, what's in your bag? ”

But Xiao Lin Lan defended innocently: "I really haven't hidden anything." If you don't believe me, I'll open it for you. ”

Seeing that she didn't look like a lie, An Beimo's expression eased slightly.

Xiao Lin Lan got rid of An Beimo's hand and was about to go over to open the backpack. An Beimo pulled her back again and told her not to go over first, saying that the blood looked wrong.

What An Beimo said also caught my attention, and I saw more and more blood flowing out of the backpack, as if some creature had died in the bag.

The backpacks we use are all the same, the kind of large travel backpacks, and it is no problem to fit one person in. I can't help but wonder what Kobayashi Lan is hiding in his bag.

Looking at Xiao Lin Lan's expression, she shouldn't be lying, and she herself doesn't know what the blood is all about.

I walked up to An Beimo and asked her in a low voice, "What do you suspect?" ”

An Beimo frowned slightly, but shook his head.

This time everyone focused on the backpack that was still oozing blood.

I told everyone to step back and stay away from their backpacks. I pulled out my pistol and aimed at my backpack, glancing at Shen Hao, and the two of us approached each other in minutes.

The muzzle of my gun was aimed at the opening of the backpack, and I said to Shen Hao: "Open!" Shen Hao stretched out his hand to go over, but I hurriedly stopped it and said, "Use a knife!" ”

Shen Hao pulled out the dagger, squatted down and approached, carefully using the knife to cut the buckle on the backpack.

Don't look at Shen Hao's usual speech, but he is very cautious in doing things, and his concentration is also very high, and the two buckles were all cut off by him twice.

He and I looked at each other to make sure I was ready, and with the tip of his knife, he lifted the backpack cover.

Inside is an open zipper, nothing out of the ordinary. Shen Hao picked the zipper with the tip of the knife, and with a soft sound of "whoo~", the zipper was gently opened by him.

As soon as a gap was opened, a smell of blood immediately came from the backpack. Shen Hao covered his nose, and his subordinates accelerated to pull the zipper to the end, and then turned around and ran.

I guess the smell inside was very bad, so I immediately held my breath and put on my goggles.

Seeing the scene inside the bag, my heart was shocked, the whole bag was crimson, and it was all sticky blood. At the same time, I was more surprised, I couldn't figure out how the bag could be filled with blood.

The others could faintly see some of it from the side, because the red of the blood was too harsh. Their eyes widened in astonishment. Especially Kobayashi Lan didn't know why this happened in his backpack.

I came closer, holding the gun in my right hand and pulling out the dagger in my left hand to stretch the mouth of my backpack wide. This time, I saw it more clearly, and I saw that all the contents of the bag were dyed blood red, as if a large bottle of ketchup had been poured into it.

"How so?" I couldn't help but ask.

An Beimo and Qixing covered their noses and leaned over, looking at the blood in the bag, they also frowned.

An Beimo turned his head and asked Xiao Lin Lan, "After arriving on the island, did you put anything on the island in your bag?" ”

Xiao Lin Lan thought about it, quickly shook her head and said, "No! ”

At this time, I suddenly remembered something and said to Xiao Lin Lan: "Didn't you also take a blood sample of the 'human stone' and receive it in the backpack?" ”

Xiao Lin Lan was stunned for a moment, but she forgot about it, and said embarrassedly: "Ah yes! I—I was so nervous that I forgot about it for a while. ”

As soon as her words fell, An Beimo hurriedly said to Qixing: "You also have those blood samples on you, quickly, take off your backpack!" ”

Seven Stars immediately came to his senses, quickly took off his backpack, and threw it on the ground. She checked left and right, found nothing unusual, and carefully opened the opening of the backpack.

Fortunately, there was no blood-red sight in the bag. The blood sample collected by Qixing was placed in a separate inner bag. Seven Stars took out a pair of rubber gloves from his bag and put them on, then took out the vial containing the sample from the inner bag.

The blood sample in the vial of Seven Stars has changed significantly, I remember very well before, the blood collected by Seven Stars was only one bottom of the bottle, but now the blood in that vial is completely full.

And the blood seemed to be constantly expanding, and it was about to open the cork on the bottle.

"Throw it away!" I shouted eagerly, "Throw it in this bag, quick!" ”

Qixing hurriedly threw the bottle into Xiao Lin Lan's backpack. As soon as the vial was thrown in, a "wave" sound was heard, and the cork of the vial was opened, and the scarlet blood inside slowly flowed into Xiao Lin Lan's bag, mixing with the surrounding blood.

I'm afraid that if the Seven Stars are taken out one step later, the same situation will happen to Xiao Lin Lan.

Shen Hao next to him looked stupid, and asked me in surprise: "This, what's going on?" ”

As it stands, it is likely that these blood samples are capable of self-reproduction! But I don't have the knowledge to explain why.

Qixing watched this scene thoughtfully, and after a moment said to all of us, "I guess this blood contains parasitic fungi!" ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Qixing gave us a rough explanation, and she said that the blood of the "human stones" we collected was likely to contain some kind of parasitic fungus, which has a strong ability to reproduce. They rely on blood as parasites and reproduce themselves by sucking nutrients from the blood, and the reproduction rate is exponentially multiple.

Kobayashi Lan used ordinary plastic bottles to hold these fungi, but as a result, the fungus that continued to multiply opened the lid due to its increased size, and continued to multiply in Kobayashi Lan's backpack, which caused the blood body to penetrate the backpack and flow out.

The bottle of Seven Stars has a high seal, which inhibits the rate of fungal reproduction, but only slows down, not stops.

We should be glad that we have not touched the blood of these parasitic fungi with our skin, otherwise these fungi would probably seep into the human body. At that time, once it fuses with the blood in the human body, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

An Beimo looked at the blood body that was still multiplying in the backpack, and said solemnly: "Maybe these fungi are the culprits that cause the human body to melt!" ”

I watched as the blood in my backpack seemed to increase again, and I felt a chill down my spine. These microbes are terrifying, and they are too dangerous to humans. If Shen Hao hadn't discovered it earlier just now, Xiao Lin Lan would probably have been contaminated.

Haruko Sakai looked at a backpack of blood-red fungi and asked, "What are you going to do with these?" Will the whole island be this kind of thing? ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but we have to get rid of this!" Then I said to Shen Hao: "Use fire, burn them!" ”

Everyone else is terrified of these microbes, and my advice is just what everyone wants.

Shen Hao immediately took out the alcohol used for ignition from his bag, and poured it all into Xiao Lin Lan's backpack, and even the blood stains that seeped out were poured on him at all. He struck a match and threw it into his backpack.

Suddenly, the alcohol burned rapidly, and under the high temperature of the flame, the blood bodies containing the fungus were decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Lin Lan looked at her from the side and really frowned, although she was lucky to escape, but there were a lot of supplies and equipment in the bag, as well as food and water, and even a lot of her personal belongings, just like that, all of them were burned.

But after all, life is still important, and Xiao Lin Lan knows that it was Shen Hao who inadvertently saved her. She thanked Shen Hao gratefully, bowed again and again, and made Shen Hao scratch his head, his face full of embarrassment.

I now understand that the people who killed them before and turned them into "human stones" were all caused by these parasitic fungi. I don't know where these fungi come from, and what kind of fungus they are, they are so powerful that they can melt people.

At this time, I thought of Feng Jiutian, and thought to myself that if Feng Jiutian knew that there were such microorganisms in the world, she would definitely run desperately to collect samples and take them back for study.

Seeing me staring at the fire in a daze, An Beimo walked up to me, she vaguely guessed what I was thinking, and asked me, "You want to know where these microorganisms come from, right?" ”

I nodded and said, "yes!" So many people died at the hands of this fungus, and almost at the same time. I can't think of what they did to provoke such a horrible thing! If we don't understand this, we risk repeating the same mistakes. ”

An Beimo said "um" and asked me, "Then what are your plans next?" We can't stay here, there are too many unknown threats, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long. ”

I don't know what she said, but if I can't find the secret of this island, I can't go back and complete the deal with the demon concubine, and there is no way to rescue Hugo, Burton, and Shen Mengzhe.

For a moment, I didn't know what we were going to do next.
