Chapter 44: The corpse cup is gone
Liang Zhan glanced back at him, looked at him a little helplessly, and comforted: "Don't worry, I won't leave you behind, I'll go back to pick up the things first and come back to see you." ”
After that, Liang Zhan strode into the village chief's house, and at this time, the buddies shrank into a ball in fright, and everyone gathered around to look at the picture accidentally captured in the camera, and gasped.
Liang Zhan asked: "Who of you here has a knife on him, the more he is profitable, the better." ”
"I, I have." Mai Xiaojie raised her hand and took out a small utility knife from her bag, she said: "I always use it for peeling fruit on weekdays. ”
Liang Zhan took the knife, tried the blade, it was very sharp, nodded, found another piece of cloth to wrap his hand tightly, and then strode out of the room.
At this time, the buddy was lying on the grass and kept wailing and sighing, the leg was more and more swollen and purple, the insects eroded quickly, and the naked eye was visibly wriggling under the skin.
Liang Zhan took a deep breath and said to the buddy: "I have to cut off your leg now, otherwise your body will be eaten by this kind of worm." ”
After hearing this, the buddy stared at me in horror Liang Zhan shook his head: "Cut off?" Just cut it off? Am I going to be a cripple in the future? ”
Liang Zhan looked at him helplessly: "It's better to be crippled than to lose your life, your current situation is not optimistic, do you see it?" Now except for me to care about your life and death, those cowards are hiding in it and don't dare to come out, you think about it yourself, if you agree to cut it off, I'll do it now, if you don't agree. You have this leg of bugs, and you really can't take you on the road with them. ”
The buddy's face was pale, and beads of cold sweat the size of beans fell down one by one.
"I, I only have one request, you knock me out, you start faster, this knife, this blade is not sharp?"
"Okay, let's take it first, it's better than dying."
Who knew that Liang Zhan's voice had just fallen, and he saw that brother received a brick on his head. He was completely unconscious.
Liang Zhan suddenly looked up at Ah Ci, and Ah Ci reminded him coldly: "Hurry up and help him cut it, if you don't do it, it'll be too late." ”
Liang Zhan took a breath, Ah Ci was different, he was quick and accurate, and he didn't blink his eyes.
Seeing Liang Zhan hesitate for a few more seconds, Ah Ci frowned: "You can't do it, I'll come." ”
Liang Zhan raised his hand and said, "This kind of bloody thing, how can you let a girl come?" I got it! ”
Ah Ci looked disgusted: "Then you can be sharper." ”
Liang Zhan took another deep breath, tightened the knife in his hand, and hypnotized himself. He's cutting meat, he's cutting meat! Cut the meat.
As soon as I thought about it, my eyes were closed, and the knife in my hand was cut down, and there was nothing to be afraid of, but the human leg bones were particularly troublesome, and the leg bones were cut after the meat was cut.
The guy in the middle woke up once, saw that his leg was drooping, and only one bone was attached, and he was so frightened that he fainted again.
Liang Zhan can't wait to have a big saw in his hand now, in fact, this buddy's legs are now necrotic, and his legs are full of insects, and they are very dead with rattan man, and they are all black and swollen.
Liang Zhan looked back at Ah Ci and ordered: "Ah Ci, you stay away, I'm afraid that blood will splash on your face." ”
Ah Ci took a dozen steps back, Liang Zhan was only a few feet, and he used all the strength of his body to break the leg bone.
Ah Ci heard a crisp sound, and the buddy howled in pain, and this time he was completely unconscious.
At this time, the blood fountain sprayed outward, and it couldn't be stopped, Ah Ci went back and took a piece of clothing, tore it into strips and threw it to Liang Zhan, and wrapped the broken leg tightly.
The bleeding slowly stopped, and Liang Zhan pulled the buddy under the eaves, and did not help him into the house, for fear that those people would feel uncomfortable when they saw it.
He drank some water, turned around and saw that Ah Ci was still standing in place, Liang Zhan walked over, only to see that the broken leg in front of him was being eaten up by insects little by little, and finally there were no bones left.
After those insects were eaten, they formed a black shadow, Liang Zhan couldn't help but shiver, only to feel numb on his body, he took out a lighter, lit a fire and threw it at the pile of insects.
Because of the dryness, I didn't want the pile of grass to ignite soon, and the insects burned and crackled, and gradually turned to ashes.
Liang Zhan pulled Ah Ci and persuaded lightly: "Let's go in, we have to get out of this place quickly." ”
Ah Ci and Liang Zhan walked in together, only to hear the people inside arguing at some point.
"I don't know how long we have to walk like this, didn't you see us go up the mountain and ride for a night before we came around to the village? It is estimated that you have to walk for a day and a night to go down the mountain, and you may not be able to find people when you go down the mountain! ”
Mai Xiaojie blushed and had a thick neck: "But now it's so dangerous here, if you stay, who knows what will happen in the next second?" It's so weird here, you want to wait for the bus, you just wait here, I'm leaving. ”
Saying that, Mai Xiaojie began to pack up her salute, and said, "If anyone else wants to go with me, let's have a companion together." ”
Liang Zhan thought for a while and said, "Don't be so excited, Brother Feng's group hasn't been found yet, do you want to continue to wait here, or do you have any better suggestions?" ”
Someone said: "I look at these insects, Brother Feng, they are more than lucky, this insect is too terrible, you also saw it just now, a living leg, say no, it's gone." How horrible it would be to crawl into a man's lap! ”
"Alright, don't talk about it." Linnaeus touched his arm, his brow furrowed.
Liang Zhan proposed: "I don't know where they parked the car, maybe they can steal the car, if we have a car, it will be much easier for us to go down the mountain." ”
"A stolen car also has to have that technology, that driver has obviously driven many times and is already familiar with the road conditions, how many of us here dare to guarantee that they can drive such a car and not fall off the cliff?"
"I'll do it." Suddenly, a buddy raised his hand and stood up: "I used to drive a truck, and I have been to some steep places, although this road is difficult to drive, it should be no problem." ”
Liang Zhan patted the buddy on the shoulder: "That's you." In this way, the two of them and I went to find a place to park, and the other few people packed up their things here and went to find Brother Feng and them by the way, and the buddy outside also had to take care of it and give him some water first. ”
Mai Xiaojie said: "Then I'll go, you guys be careful, if you really can't find it, come back quickly." ”
As he spoke, he took a bottle of water and walked out of the house, and went to feed the crippled buddy outside.
Liang Zhan patted Ah Ci's head: "You stay here, I'm still relieved that you're here." ”
Ah Ci slapped Liang Zhan's paw away, Liang Zhan smiled, and left the cabin with the two.
After Liang Zhan left, Ah Ci looked back at the direction he left, and always had a bad premonition.
There was a dead silence in the room, and no one wanted to talk much now. This situation is the first time they have encountered, there is no bottom in their hearts, they keep looking at the mobile phone, hoping to have a signal, but after trying many times, there seems to be a magnetic field interference in this mountain, and there is no signal at all.
Ah Ci flipped through the photos sent to Yu Fengmian, and originally wanted to wait for his reply, but he didn't expect people to come here.
I don't know...... Can you get out?
After going through so much, Ah Ci is not not optimistic, but this time, what she encountered is completely different from the previous ones.
Suddenly Mai Xiaojie screamed in fright, Ah Ci immediately rushed out to check when she heard the sound, only to see Mai Xiaojie slumped on the ground and was scared silly, and the buddy with a broken leg was twitching on the ground, rolling his eyes, looking very scary.
Ah Ci was bolder, and when she checked in the morning, she saw that the bruises on the man's face were very obvious, and he was lying motionless on the ground with his eyes rolled.
Ah Ci reached out and probed his snort, and suddenly the guy breathed back again, and his eyes didn't roll anymore, but he was wheezing heavily.
When he gradually saw the scene in front of him, the buddy said, "The sun is too big outside, can you help me into the house?" ”
Ah Ci stepped forward to help the man, and Mai Xiaojie saw that Ah Ci was struggling, so she stepped forward and took the handle and got the person into the house.
None of the others dared to get too close to the buddy with the broken leg, only Mai Xiaojie was quite kind, occasionally asking him if he wanted to drink water and if he felt uncomfortable.
The guy shook his head: "I feel better now, but this leg still hurts a lot." ”
Everyone involuntarily fixed their eyes on the broken leg, which had been bandaged, and the strips of cloth were dyed bright red.
Ah Ci sat on the couch, staring at the buddy for a moment, only to feel that the divine light in the person's eyes was becoming more and more chaotic, and slowly lost the divine light, which was exactly the same as the people in the village she saw.
Ah Ci suddenly jumped up from the bed, took the luggage, and spoke; "We can't stay here any longer."
Everyone suddenly looked at Ah Ci, Ah Ci pulled his luggage and walked out, although this girl was very strange, but she was very calm from beginning to end, and Liang Zhan came with him. He also looks like a very reliable person.
Now in this situation, everyone has no master, so they all obediently packed their luggage and followed.
Then Mai Xiaojie looked at the buddy sitting on the bench, twisted her long eyebrows and shouted: "You guys also come to help him, how can he get out like this?" ”
In fact, no one is willing to help this buddy, and now this situation is taking him away, just a burden, such a long road, dragging such a burden, I don't know how far I can go.
Ah Ci looked back at Mai Xiaojie. "He's not the same person as us anymore. ”
Mai Xiaojie said indignantly: "What do you mean? Now Liang Zhan hasn't come back yet, you just leave, he is your companion, don't you wait for him? ”
Ah Ci glanced at the buddy with the broken leg, "I can't stay here anymore." The extremely stern tone made everyone shudder.
"Do you know something?" Tian Youzhen unceremoniously pulled Ah Ci's collar and asked coldly.
Ah Ci stared at Tian Youzhen coldly, and that look couldn't help but make Tian Youzhen shudder, and subconsciously let her go.
"What are you staring at?!" Tian Youzhen turned his face away.
"If you want to go with me, you can leave, and you want to stay here. Just stay. With that, Ah Ci left the place quickly.
After a few people discussed, only Mai Xiaojie and a buddy stayed, and the buddy was interested in Mai Xiaojie at first glance and wanted to please her.
Along the way, everyone was still discussing what had just happened, "Is it really good to leave them there?" Why don't you go back to the two of you and see? ”
Ah Ci just walked forward without looking back. The people who stayed behind are just dead people now, and they are no longer in the same world.
Ah Ci didn't go too far, but stopped and waited for Liang Zhan in a place where they could easily find it.
The grass here is very deep, so crouch down. Completely imperceptible.
Ah Ci said, "Wait for them here." ”
Tian Youzhen said angrily: "Why should we listen to the words of a little girl who has no social experience at first glance? Do you all have brains? ”
Linnaeus glanced at Tian Youzhen lightly: "Then you haven't come with you?" Otherwise, you should go back with them. ”
Ah Ci ignored them and looked around to see the situation, which seemed to be safe for the time being.
And she noticed that the person who was eaten by the insect was the only one who did not spray the flower dew, which showed that Yu Fengmian's tube of flower water had a repellent effect on this kind of bug.
So she took it out of her backpack, and there was still half of it left, and Liang Zhan's guy had sprayed too much before.
Ah Ci sprayed all around, just in a circle.
Linnaeus asked her curiously, "Little sister, what are you doing here?" ”
Ah Ci: "You'd better not get out of this circle. ”
As he spoke, he picked up some things back in his backpack and was about to go out. Linnell pulled her: "Where are you going now?" ”
"I'll go find Liang Zhan." Aci shook off Linnaeus's hand.
Tian Youzhen sneered: "Of course people are going to find her little boyfriend." Guilty of letting you this? ”
Liang Zhan didn't know the situation yet, they would go back to the cabin, and before that, she wanted to stop them from going back.
If you can find the car, it is great, but if you can't find it, you can only grit your teeth and walk down the mountain.
The best way to find Liang Zhan is to wait for the rabbit nearby, which is the most convenient and effective.
After waiting for about half an hour, Ah Ci suddenly saw that the buddy with the broken leg had to go out, as if he had been bewitched by something, and his eyes were lifeless. There is no half of humanity anymore.
Mai Xiaojie and another buddy helped him and asked, "Where are you going?" Now let's stop running around, you can go back to the house first. ”
The man shook their hand away, and fell straight to the ground because one leg was inconvenient, but the man squirmed forward with his elbows as if there was some mission that had to be accomplished.
Mai Xiaojie and the boy were obviously scared stupid, so they had to snuggle together, looking at the person as if they were enchanted, and gasped for their strange behavior.
"We ...... Let's go find them first, this person seems to be a little abnormal. Don't know what's going on. ”
Ah Ci thought about it and was going out to stop them, but who knew that the village chief and his wife had returned, and when the two of them saw the village chief and his wife, they were not alert, but they just felt that at least they were normal living people, which could make them feel at ease.
Mai Xiaojie said: "Village chief, can you drive us down the mountain?" We're not used to staying here. ”
The village chief, Mu Shea, looked at them with his eyes, "Want to go back?" ”
Mai Xiaojie nodded vigorously: "Yes, we want to go back......"
The village chief's wife suddenly said to them: "I can't go back, come here." Don't even think about going back. ”
The boy quietly took Mai Xiaojie's hand, "They, they're not normal, we...... Let's go!! ”
Who knew that they hadn't taken a few steps before they suddenly fell to the ground without warning, and the village chief's whole body was twisted, as if there was nothing under the skin, only this skin was left to support.
Mai Xiaojie suddenly screamed in shock, "Bug! Bugs got into my body! Help me!! ”
The village chief's wife suddenly opened her mouth and spit out a steady stream of small black rice grains from her mouth, and those insects burrowed into Mai Xiaojie's nose and ears.
The boy was so scared that he was incontinent. They didn't even have the strength to stand up, they just crawled forward with a wail, and suddenly the village chief stopped in front of them, and began to vomit a lot of black bugs just now.
The bugs seemed to smell the fresh food and scrambled to burrow into the new host's body.
After all the insects found a new host, the original two hosts collapsed to the ground, turning into a wisp of dust, and there were no bones left.
Ah Ci took a deep breath and slumped into the grass, if the guess was correct, these bugs would start looking for a new host every ten or twenty years, and until a new host was found, they would live in symbiosis in the human body.
These bugs have the peculiarity of eating away at the body of the first host and parasitizing it on the new host after finding a new host.
As she saw now, at this time, Mai Jiejie and the man, who were no longer the same as before, seemed to sense some kind of induction call, and walked towards the place where the person crawled before.
After they were all gone, Ah Ci came out of the grass, looked at the two piles of shabby clothes left, and quietly followed.
Hopefully, Liang Zhan and they didn't encounter the host of these bugs. The reason why these hosts brought them here means that there will be twelve people here who will need to obtain the bodies of new hosts to continue their lives.
For the time being, it is not known exactly where this thing came from, what its scientific name is, or what other characteristics it has.
Ah Ci quietly followed all the way, and found that they were all rushing to the same place, and Ah Ci followed them until they reached the bottom of a cliff, and they bowed down in front of the cliff.
Ah Ci looked at it from a distance, and there was nothing special about the cliff. Afraid of being discovered by the host, Ah Ci did not stay for long. Quietly left to go back to Liang Zhan, and if they could find the car, they would probably have returned to the cabin by now.
Sure enough, before Ah Ci reached the wooden house, he met the servant halfway.
Seeing Ah Ci, Liang Zhan trotted over: "Why did you come out?" ”
Ah Ci stared at Liang Zhan, and his eyes made his heart furious, "What's wrong?" ”
Tzu: "You are very happy that you have not met a host. ”
Liang Zhan: "What host?" ”
Ah Ci pulled Liang Zhanzhang back to the village chief's house and pointed to the two piles of clothes on the ground.
Liang Zhan's sharp eyes found that these two piles of clothes belonged to the village chief and his daughter-in-law.
"How could the village chief's clothes be left here?" Liang Zhan stepped forward to pick it up, but Ah Ci stopped him.
"Don't move. I'm afraid there are still residual bugs inside. ”
Liang Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he gasped, "The worm is here?" ”
Ah Ci told Liang Zhan everything he had seen before, and the two buddies turned pale when they heard it.
"The people here, in a sense, are not human beings at all, but hosts controlled by bugs."
Liang Zhan said solemnly: "It's really like what you said, that's terrifying." As he spoke, he glanced at the two buddies.
One of the buddies said: "This insect still retains some of the habits and wisdom of humans, just now we went to look for the car, but found that the car had no gas at all, presumably afraid that we would run away." They hid all the oil. And we found this in the car. ”
As he spoke, he handed the things he found to Ah Ci, who took a black driver's license and glanced at the driver in his eyes, who was also a foreigner and did not belong to this village at all.
Ah Ci said: "I used to think that they change hosts every ten to twenty years, but now I can be sure that there is no strict time limit for them to change hosts, as long as they can find the next suitable host, they will eat the original host and parasitize the new host." ”
"We, what are we going to do now?"
Liang Zhan said: "There is no other way but to leave here on foot, I hope everything will go well." ”
Ah Ci said: "I took them to a safe place first, let's go." ”
"Okay." Liang Zhan took the backpack in Ah Ci's hand and followed her to the hiding place.
Seeing Liang Zhan come back, a boy who stayed behind stepped forward and said, "Just now, that Miss Tian Youzhen ran out just now, and now I don't know where I went, no matter how much persuasion is useless." ”
Linnaeus sneered: "It's okay to go, people like this who think they don't have any discipline are also a bane to stay." ”
Liang Zhan wrung his eyebrows, and his temper was a little irritable: "Why don't you pull her?!" ”
Linnaeus: "You don't know her temper, by the way, the car has been found?" ”
A buddy said: "I found it, but there was no oil." It couldn't be turned on at all, and they all ran out of oil. There are still some things ......"
Liang Zhan coughed lightly, and motioned to the buddy not to say any more, so as not to talk too much and cause unnecessary panic, one has no effect, and the other fear will only make people cowardly, unless they have a strong psychology like Ah Ci.
"It's a human being. We need to get her back before she turns into a bug. ”
Now there are only six of them left, Tian Youzhen is gone, and if Tian Youzhen appears, then there will be only five people left.
As for the three of Brother Feng, there is no news so far.
When Ah Ci saw those hosts worshipping on the cliff, he didn't see Brother Feng and them, although he knew that they might be more than lucky, but he could still hold on to the last bit of hope, they were still alive.
Liang Zhan helplessly looked back at the road when he looked, and then looked at the vast surroundings. "Which direction did that Miss Tian go?"
