773 Black River
Gu Fengchun took a closer look, and he found that the dead A Wei's body had some faint bulges in the exposed parts of his body, and there were still some signs of cracking in his skin, and some slimy transparent liquid flowed out of the bursting place. Gu Feng let out a sigh of relief, and from those bulging places, he found some bones, it seemed that this A Wei's body was mutating, and judging from the speed of his body's change, it wouldn't be long before another person would split.
When Chen Si saw this scene, he was silent for a while, and after a while, he said, "Burn the corpse and hurry away immediately!" And all the hearts of the people were terrified. They had learned that there was a deadly virus in the air around them, and judging from Chen Si's expression, he had no way to restrain it. Many people have a sense of despair in their hearts, the individual of the virus is very small, it can be said that they belong to the pervasive kind of thing, since the air is already filled with this kind of thing, it means that everyone is also contaminated with it, as long as you take off the gas mask, there is a possibility of being hit.
"Don't panic, everyone!" Qiu Huiyan suddenly spoke. "It is true that this virus spreads through the air, but this virus is not stable, it does not last in the air, and their carriers are these black birds, and the way these black birds reproduce is through asexual reproduction and cell division for the inheritance of life. Just get out of here and we'll be safe. Qiu Huiyan's words made everyone feel a glimmer of hope.
"Really?" Gu Fengchun leaned over and asked his mother suspiciously. Asexual reproduction and mitosis, most of which are only found in microorganisms and plants. It's amazing how you can see this in animals.
Qiu Huiyan smiled bitterly and pointed to the dead black birds on the ground, and said, "Look at this group of black birds. They are all in adulthood, without young children or aging, and they are all average in weight, which is impossible in the natural world as we know it. And based on the onset of the team members and the group morphology of these black birds, I made this judgment. This judgment cannot be wrong. ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Huiyan said again: "As for the virus, it is easier to say. In the entire dark forest, any kind of life existence has rules that have been passed down from generation to generation, why this virus can only spread in the black bird flock, and not spread throughout the dark forest, there is only one reason, that is, if this virus cannot find a host in a very short time, it will die. When Qiu Huiyan said this, she stopped talking.
Gu Fengchun nodded thoughtfully, but his mother's explanation could not allow him to completely clear the doubts in his heart. Because he knew that this virus had broken out in the desert outside the temple many times, and each time the damage was not small. If this virus were to die out so easily, it would not be possible to cause a catastrophe outside of the God Emperor at all.
It's just that such doubts cannot be pointed out face-to-face. Because Gu Fengchun saw that the hearts of the team members seemed to be calm, they obviously accepted this statement. The military quality of this group of members is very high, but the cultural level is relatively backward, and the words Qiu Huiyan said about asexual reproduction and cell division are very unfamiliar to them. It is also because of ignorance, so it is meaningless. They just need a reasonable explanation, an explanation that gives them peace of mind.
It's just that in the process of hurrying, everyone didn't even dare to call another one. The team members were worried that the gas masks would not be able to filter the virus in the air. It is best for Chen Si to explain that this gas mask is equipped with a multi-layer polymer filter membrane, which was used exclusively by medical staff during the SARS outbreak in 2003. Later, the military reformed it and turned it into a gas mask that is now used by everyone, which is extremely safe. And there is also a layer of strong acid viromicide in the middle, even if there is a virus that passes through the layers of defense, it must be eliminated by this layer of strong acid.
After listening to Chen Si's explanation, everyone finally returned to normal.
The surrounding fires caused by this flamethrower have burned cleanly, and the surrounding area is empty, and everyone feels very relieved when they walk in the open place. Only Chen Si and Qiu Huiyan and others did not look good. I don't know what they're worried about. Gu Fengchun didn't speak, and stayed by Luo Xiaodan's side. The death of the A guard just now really scared her. Ye Ya's face was even more gloomy, and he had just finished off one of his subordinates, which made him feel very uncomfortable. These A guards are all good hands selected by him, and they usually have a good relationship. During the time of his disappearance, many guards also privately mobilized forces to find him. The dead Awei was one of them, and he once brought people back to the western Sichuan Plateau to look for him. Gu Fengchun wanted to comfort him a few words, but he stopped before he could say anything. Because Gu Fengchun knows very well that this road is very cruel, and after everyone in this team enters, the possibility of getting out alive is actually not great. Accepting the facts early will make you more resilient and vigilant.
The procession was heading south. There is a river to the south. On the other side of the river, it was the real dark forest, and the black trees stretched out into the distance with no end. The river is not very wide, only about ten meters, but there is a turbid black liquid in it, and I don't know what it is. Gu Fengchun was willing to believe that the river was flowing with oil. It's a pity that the oil is still cleaner than these black things.
It didn't take long for the team to reach the side of the river. The wildfires stopped at this point, so the forest on the other side was still green.
"How are we going to get there, can't we swim through?" Gu Fengchun looked at the black and sticky liquid in the river, and felt a chill in his heart.
"Can you swim through?" Chen Si smiled bitterly and said slowly: "I'm afraid that if you don't swim to the average, your kid will become a ball of white bones." The water of this river is extremely corrosive. ”
"What then?" Gu Fengchun shrugged his shoulders.
"With an air raft." Chen Si said softly. "Before we go, all these possible things have been planned." Chen Si smiled treacherously at Gu Fengchun. Then he turned around and gestured to Xiao Zhonghua. Xiao Zhonghua made a gesture, and immediately several team members unloaded the rucksack from their backs, and took out a stack of yellow rubber-like things from the rucksack.
"It's a drifting boat, it's inflatable at any time, and each dinghy can carry eight people, with a limit of sixteen. We'll use it to cross the river. Chen Si said slowly.
