Chapter Ninety-Eight: Professor He
The insect was afraid of fire, and noticed the "tearing" sound of the flames rising into the air, and quickly dispersed in all directions. A hole was torn open in the dark fog, and the torch bounced off the ground a few times, bounced off the stone, and rolled down at my feet.
I seized the opportunity, crawled over and picked up the torch, and when I looked up, I saw that the "black cloud" above my head had regathered, and the sand spots in the sky formed a barrier, and fell down on me like a black gauzy tent.
I didn't have time to hesitate at all, I immediately raised the torch in my hand, the flames rose, and the black wave that rushed towards me took the initiative to rush to both sides, and at this time, more torches were thrown over, smashing on the thick black cloud, and the Gu worms were frightened by the bright light of the fire and flew wildly, rampage.
I jumped up, threw away my hatchet, grabbed a torch in each hand, and waved it wildly above my head, the dancing dragon like a poisonous python with two claws, forcing the countless insects aside.
There were also insects crawling on the ground, so I quickly squatted down and wanted to use a torch to drive them away, but Xiao Zhang's voice came from my ears, "Brother Nan, don't chase these insects, they were released by Ali!" ”
I hesitated slightly, the wriggling insect tide on the ground had crawled along my feet, and the mighty "marching ants" all pounced on the old man who had no time to escape, and I noticed a trace of special horror in the old man's gaze, and in less than two seconds, I saw that this guy was already holding his stomach, and the ground was desperately rolling and wailing.
A "rustling" sound of gnawing came from his abdomen, and soon, some small dark green bugs pierced through his clothes and quickly crawled all over his entire body. The old man tossed and turned, hissing in pain, and I saw that his body was deflating little by little, and his whole body was full of holes, and there were constantly dark green worms burrowing in those holes, and they drilled and gnawed at the flesh on his body.
I suddenly jumped up like a nervous person, even though the target of those bugs was not me, but seeing this strange scene here still made my heart tremble.
There were too many insects on this old man's body, and under the frenzied gnawing, the accumulated white bones were quickly presented in front of my eyes, gnawing so much that I couldn't even see the blood, and half a minute later, there was only a pile of white bones left in front of me.
"it...... "I pressed my back against ......the stone wall, and I burst into several foul mouths in a row, and the dense beads of sweat on my face gathered and flowed down like a fountain.
After "Ah Li ......", I heard Xiao Zhang's cry, and when I looked back, I found that Ah Li's half-kneeling body had also fallen, his face was blue, and even his breathing was much weaker.
"Is she alright?" I hadn't recovered from my heart palpitations yet, and I didn't dare to get close to her, but Xiao Zhang didn't have so many taboos, forcibly jumped off the back of the old clock, stumbled to Ah Li's side, and tried to pick her up.
However, Xiao Zhang was bitten by a poisonous snake just now, and his condition was not good, and he didn't pick up Ah Li after trying several times, so he could only look at Lao Zhong for help.
Lao Zhong said don't touch her yet, she should just lose her strength, and she may wake up after resting for a while. Xiao Zhang struggled to stand up, dragged Ali to the edge of the stone wall, leaned her body on it, and looked back at me with a wheez, "I can live, thanks to Ali, she has helped me many times." ”
I said brother, I understand the truth of being reciprocated by the grace of a drop of water, but ...... She's got bugs on her, aren't you afraid?
Xiao Zhang was very calm, saying that I am not afraid, these insects all listen to Alley's words, and they will not bite people without her instructions. Ge Zhuang walked over, touched my elbow lightly, and said You don't care about him, this kid is also a good guy with a brain, and he and Ah Li just got together.
The old bell came in and interrupted us, saying don't talk nonsense, hurry in and find the equipment, as long as you get the guy, no matter how many bugs you have, you won't be afraid.
Xiao Zhang needs to stay and take care of the comatose Ah Li, I am afraid that he will not be safe alone, so he patted Ge Zhuang on the shoulder and said Fatty, the task of standing guard this time will be handed over to you, and Lao Zhong and I will go in to find equipment.
Ge Zhuang said that please rest assured that I will not hold back.
I chased after him with a flashlight, ran more than ten meters, and found that the old clock stopped standing in front of me and did not move, so I quickly went up and asked him if he had found something? The old bell raised the flashlight, shone on the wooden fence in front, and said Look, the front is our equipment, but it is blocked by this wooden fence, you have a firewood knife, quickly cut it and take the equipment.
I said yes, and slashed twice at the wooden fence with a firewood knife, but the wood was very hard, and the old bell and I took turns to work hard, and it took a long time to destroy the fence.
Lao Zhong couldn't wait to get in, took out the two shotguns from his backpack, put the iron sand and * on his back, and threw a shotgun to me, saying that you should be careful when shooting, this kind of shotgun can only be filled with iron sand and steel balls, and the risk of exploding is particularly large.
This shotgun was collected from an old hunter for two hundred yuan before we set off, and in recent years, the state has strictly controlled guns, and the big bird on the mountain is also a crime to be sentenced, so the old hunter has not used it for several years, and the lack of maintenance of the movement has rusted, and the power cannot be guaranteed, I just hope it will not fall off the chain so quickly.
We carried a few burdens on our backs, and were about to turn around and go out, but the old bell turned to his head, as if he heard something, he listened carefully for a long time, turned around and asked me, "Little pumpkin, did you hear someone talking just now?"
I said no, why did you hear that? After all, Lao Zhong was a man who had been on the battlefield, and his hearing was much better than mine, so he immediately put his satchel on his shoulder, turned around and walked towards the depths of the grotto.
I had no choice but to follow.
This grotto is very long, at least a few hundred meters deep, there are some torches at the door, but the more you go inside, the darker the light, I and the old bell each brought a flashlight, constantly scanning the depths of the cave, after a while, even I heard a faint cough, quickly swept the flashlight to the place where the coughing sound came from, and suddenly shone on an unkempt, scarred old man.
"Save ...... Save me......" The old man's consciousness was a little sluggish, he didn't know how long he had been locked in the hole, he couldn't adapt to the bright light of the flashlight, and he was calling for help with his eyes closed.
He actually understands Chinese!
I quickly removed the hook, pinned the flashlight to my waist, and ran briskly towards him. When I got closer, I found that the old man still had green vines tied to his hands and feet, and there were barbs on the edges of the vine horns, which deeply strangled the old man's skin, he was covered in blood, and his breath was weak, but his consciousness was still quite clear, and he closed his eyes and asked me, "Who are you, how did you break into the Li tribe?" ”
I took a dagger and cut off the vines tied to him, saying that we are an archaeological team, looking for a person named Professor He, aren't you?
He hurriedly said that it was me, two comrades, did the organization send you to rescue me? Great work.
I was puzzled, and said that the organization didn't know that you were brought to the Li tribe, and we followed Chen Yun to rescue you, by the way, weren't you kidnapped by the people of the Rand Corporation, how did you end up here?
