Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 56. Red-eyed armadillo
At first, I was very confident when everyone was arguing, but now when everyone put their hopes on me, I have more worries, and I am not so confident at first, and I suddenly feel like I have a heavy responsibility, and I know that as long as I make a wrong decision, it may cost more than ten lives.
When the black boy was unlocking, the ghost and Lan Xin checked the remaining bullets, due to our limited funds this time, the ammunition prepared was not sufficient, the ghost only had two shuttle bullets left, and Lan Xin only had the last bullet clip left.
I said to the ghost, "Wang! The next step is to save some shots, bullets are very important to us, and it is not clear what will happen next. ”
The Ghost refilled the AK*-47 rifle with bullets and whispered, "What! Stressful, right? ”
I forced a smile and didn't respond, or didn't know how to respond, the ghost patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the fat man and I will always be your strong back." Then look at the robbery, and say, "I'm going to shoot at the situation, and try to kill anything that threatens us within two shots." ”
As he spoke, Blackboy had already unlocked all the locks, and when he said "That's it!" At the time of the word, my heart began to speed up involuntarily, this kind of thing I Wu Nian has experienced several times, never been afraid, but now I feel unprecedented fear and nervousness, after all, the fate of these more than ten people is in my hands, but there is no way back now, because my faith determines their courage.
"Let's go!" I took the lead in as soon as I gave the order, and the formation was based on the ghost triangle formation, but this time it was divided into two groups, the ghost and the blue core had guns, each on both sides of the middle of the two groups, playing a front and back balance, I took the lead with the fat man, the skilled black boy, and the experienced Professor Ouyang were behind us, and the remaining few were all in the second group.
We walked steadily and unhurriedly for a short distance, uneventful, uneventful, until I accidentally stepped on a hard object, and when I stepped down, I heard the crunch of the thing, and when I hit the flashlight, I realized that it was a plastic object.
The fat man also heard the voice, and crouched down with me to inspect it, and after he looked at it, he said to himself, "Strange! How could there be such a thing in this place? And it still looks new, it looks like it was just dropped. ”
"It's the shell of an unmanned aircraft." I threw away one of the plastic cases with English letters from my hand, looked around, and said, "It seems that the thief who stole our unmanned * is around here, and I don't know what it is, so be vigilant." As soon as I got up, I felt some dirt falling on top of my head, and I immediately reacted to it, and I raised my head up, just in time to see a black-brown figure running up from a hole.
"On top!" I immediately screamed, and the ghost caught up with an arrow, and the gun used "Bang!" Then I heard a sharp scream coming from the hole, and a few drops of blood dripped from the hole, but there was no body falling, and the ghost knew that he had not succeeded, and he was angry and cursed, "Hey! Uncle's! It's a pity! ”
As soon as his voice fell, a figure flashed in the dark from the front of the cave, and the figure was seen by Lan Xin, and she reminded "In front!" At the same time as he spoke, Lan Xin pulled the plate machine and fired a shot out, the fire of the 54* type pistol flashed in the dark, and there was a strange scream in the darkness ahead, when all of us rushed to the scene, there was no corpse, but there was a little blood droplet on the ground, there was a hole in the side of the blood droplet, the hole was very deep, the slag at the entrance of the hole was renovated, it seems that this hole was temporarily dug by the person who was shot, and he could dig out the hole to escape in such a short time, it seems that he is a natural burrower, it should be an animal, so what kind of animal will it be?
Just when I was discussing and analyzing with Xiao Kai, the black boy seemed to see something, and he seemed to be afraid that the sound would startle something, so he lowered his voice to the lowest decibel and said to us, "Everyone, look ahead!" ”
Because the voice of the black boy is small and cautious, so we are also infected, and we all cautiously cast our eyes slowly forward, only to see a black shadow not far ahead, Officer Wei originally wanted to use a flashlight to shine on the black shadow, but Xiao Kai stopped him, Xiao Kai whispered, "Guard!" No, if the light of the flashlight shines past, it will definitely alarm it, and then let him run away, and it will be difficult for us to know the true face of these animals that stole our unmanned aircraft. ”
Because of the fear of being frightened by the dark thing, everyone's flashlights maintained the original illuminated position, and none of them dared to shine on the black shadow, in such a situation where the light was not very sufficient, they could only see a rough idea, only to see the black shadow less than a meter tall height, judging from the silhouette, it should be squatting, in addition to seeing the outline, it is its pair of eyes that cast red light in the dark, and the black shadow also looked at us motionlessly, I don't know what I want to do? I thought to myself that it would be better to strike first anyway, so I gently patted the ghost on the side with my hand, and made a hands-on look at him, and the ghost immediately pulled the trigger, and when the gun rang out, the black shadow in the darkness fell to the ground.
Everyone stepped forward, all can't wait to know its true face of Lushan, more than ten flashlights under the pillar of light only to see a body length of about one meter, the body color is black and brown, there is a wrapped carapace on the back, there are hard hairs under the carapace, its head is like a cone, the mouth is pointed and long, there are a pair of round small ears on both sides of the head, and scales, at first glance, it looks like wearing a helmet, although its limbs are not long, but the nails are long and curved, at a glance you know that it is a good hand at digging holes, the whole animal at first glance looks like a big mouse wearing a carapace.
When Xiao Kai and I saw this animal, we were so frightened that we took three steps back, and our faces were shocked, and I hurriedly shouted to the others, "Don't even come close!" ”
The fat man and the others were very puzzled when they saw this, especially the fat man, he made fun of me and said, "Hehe! Prosperous! You're a character who has experienced strong winds and waves, how can you just be a ......" The words stopped here, because he didn't know what this thing was, thought for a while, and then continued, "I think it's an old pangolin, isn't it just a little beast, why scare you like this." After finishing speaking, he was ready to go up and look at it.
I was nervous, and just about to stop the fat man, the ghost took the lead, and he took the fat man's hand, "Little fatty!" Ngawang, don't you understand? Is he so easily frightened! Let's hear what he has to say, after all, he knows more about animals than we do. ”
The fat man also felt that it made sense when he heard the ghost say this, so he looked at me, "Wang! What the hell is this thing? Scare you and Kai like this? ”
I poked the fat man in the shoulder and scolded, "You fucking don't know how to live or die!" What is this, do you know you, this is the armadillo, although it is not aggressive, but it has the virus on it, be careful to infect you. ”
"What kind of virus?" The fat man asked curiously.
"Leprosy bacillus, that is, leprosy!" Xiao Kai said and looked at everyone, "For a long time, leprosy has been believed by the medical community to only spread among humans. At the end of April 2011, American researchers said that the first leprosy patient in the United States may have been infected by armadillos. Truman said that through research, he found that there is a large body of evidence that humans contracted leprosy through armadillos. Xiao Kai said this, deliberately walked to the fat man's side, and then said: "Fat man, you don't know something!" People only know that the meat of the armadillo is delicious, and they think that they can only get leprosy if they eat its flesh, but it is true, and they can be infected by touching it. ”
After hearing this, the fat man's whole person trembled, his facial expression immediately changed, revealing surprise, and the whole person stepped back and said at the same time, "Mom! It's better to stay away from it. ”
Xiao Kai couldn't help but secretly laugh at the fat man, and then fell into a question again, "It's just that I don't understand how these endangered species living in Central and South America can appear in this place?" ”
"It should be Guo Feng who bought it from abroad to study! The Health Bureau said that he had a habit of raising animals for research. "As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that there were a few armadillos standing in the direction of the broken shell of the unmanned machine, a total of seven or eight, each with red eyes, staring at us quietly in the dark, such a scene made me look a little hairy, although the armadillo is not aggressive, but so many red-eyed armadillos are staring at us motionless in this dark cave, who doesn't hair? Armadillos are timid by nature, and they run away or shrink their bodies into a ball to protect themselves when they see someone, but these red-eyed armadillos are really evil.
Xiao Kai, who was a living being, immediately noticed that something was wrong, and he said to me in a low voice, "Brother Wu Nian!" Something is wrong, armadillos are naturally timid and should not dare to look at us like this, they should have run away early, and why are their eyes blood-red? Unless...... "After Xiao Kai's words paused for a moment, his tone changed, "unless they have already mutated, such as being mutated by Guo Feng through some kind of biochemical experiment?" ”
Xiao Kai's words made everyone nervous, the leprosy bacillus on the armadillo made us frightened, not to mention that it was really biochemically mutated.
From the rate of everyone's breathing, I could feel that everyone was nervous, but no one dared to move, including me and Xiao Kai, we and the red-eyed armadillo stared at each other in a stalemate, and I don't know how long it was, maybe it was actually only a minute, the fat man couldn't bear it anymore, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Are we just consuming like idiots?" Do you want me to scare them? Doesn't it mean that this thing is timid by nature? ”
Xiao Kai and I, who suddenly didn't think of a way, agreed to try it, so Xiao Kai said to the fat man, "Why don't you try it first?" ”
The fat man seemed to have some worries, probably afraid of leprosy, so he didn't dare to take a step forward, so he cleared his throat on the spot, and then said, "Ah! He tried to scare away the red-eyed armadillo with such a roar, but as soon as the roar came out, the red-eyed armadillo suddenly went crazy and rushed towards us.
"I'm grass! Run! "See! I was shocked and screamed and ran desperately, everyone also ran to the dark part of the cave in a panic, the armadillos behind me chased after me, and kept making a strange cry that made me listen to the outrageous heart, it was a matter of minutes for a mammal to be a meter long, but these red-eyed armadillos are virus-carrying and biochemical mutated monsters, who knows if they will spray poison, or eat people and other perverted abilities, I don't even dare to touch this kind of thing, so I can only use the last resort to run.
Xiaoying and Xueli had poor physical strength, and because their psychological quality was not good, they didn't run far before they shouted at me, "Wu ...... Ang Nian Ge! I...... We...... Run...... I can't run anymore. ”
I glanced back, only to see that in the darkness behind me, the red light emitted by those red-eyed armadillo eyes was like a red ghost from hell, and it was rapidly approaching us, and it seemed that we were about to catch up, but Xiaoying and Xueli were running slower and slower, and in a hurry, I retreated, and called the fat man and the black boy to help, Professor Ouyang naturally volunteered to retreat to help, but fortunately, he was an old man with a hard bone, and the two of us men carried a woman and continued to run forward.
The hole with bad light is very troublesome to run, not to mention that it is necessary to run with a big living person, each of us does not know where the end of the darkness leads, but it is to keep running, even if the ghost marksmanship is like a god, but in the process of running in the lack of light and it is difficult for him to show his marksmanship, he tried to turn around and shoot the red-eyed armadillo behind him while running, but the road was uneven, the ghost turned back a few times and did not shoot a shot, the fat man was anxious, and asked "Lao Wang, what are you?" How not to shoot. ”
The ghost responded to him as he ran, "The shooting conditions are too poor, the hit rate is too low, and I never fire a gun that I am not sure of." ”
The fat man was in a hurry and said, "I'll go!" You really can't bear the title of sharpshooter! ”
"! What the words, I'm saving ammunition. The ghost responded while running, and as he spoke, I vaguely saw through the light pillar of the flashlight that there seemed to be a minecart ahead, the minecart stopped on a slightly sloping track, and was pulled by two iron chains. Is there a way you can break the chain of the minecart in front of you? ”
The ghost fixed his eyes, confidently dragged the AK*-47 assault rifle in his arms, and with a slight glance, he "snapped" twice and pulled the trigger, and then pulled the chain of the minecart "dangdang" twice, with a flash of sparks and it collapsed, and after the chain was broken, the ghost shouted to everyone, "Get on the minecart!" The voice of the ghost is the hope of survival, everyone may be because they saw the glimmer of life that shook off the red-eyed armadillo, and they couldn't help but burst out of potential, everyone mentioned speed, after all, survival is human instinct, including Xiaoying and Xueli, who were already physically exhausted, also moved up slightly from the town.
After everyone got on the minecart, I dragged Xiaoying and Xueli on the minecart with the fat man and Professor Ouyang, and the black boy, and then the four of us worked together to push the minecart, because the minecart had not been used for a long time, the lubricating oil of the iron wheel had already dried, and it was particularly difficult to push, but fortunately, we were all four big men, and the strength of the fat man alone was enough to top two adults, I yelled at the fat man, "Fatty!" If you don't want leprosy, you have to fuck hard! ”
After the fat man yelled and pushed hard, the minecart began to slide towards the slope with a "creaky creak", and just as the minecart was moving, the people on the cart shouted in unison, "Be careful!" Then there was the "Sudden Sudden Rush" of the ghost's gun-throwing gun, and behind him was the screams of red-eyed armadillos, a total of four, although I didn't look back, but from the sound I knew that the ghost hit four.
"Get in the car!" After I gave the order, the four of us grabbed the minecart almost at the same time, and then turned over and jumped on, fortunately, the minecart was big enough to accommodate all of us, and the fat man got into the car and said to the red-eyed armadillo chasing after him, "Goodbye, you guys." ”
