Chapter 73: The River Can Turn People to Ashes
Zhao Hui walked in front with his empty hands, followed by the guide Yu Tianlei, followed by a group of women and undercover Zuo Licheng. After getting along for so long, Zhao Hui finally knew the names of these two smart people today, and Zhao Hui felt very good.
They were accompanied by six giants from Zong Zewei who provided security for the team, and they would return at the edge of the Red Triangle, if there were really natives there, they would have misunderstood that the Stormwind people had been invaded when they saw such a huge number.
After half a month of arduous trekking, the group finally arrived near the Red Triangle. Evading Zhang Mingwei's possible pursuit along the way, almost all of them traveled day and night, but fortunately there was no attrition.
But this does not mean that there are no problems, in fact, from the third day after leaving the East Kowloon District, Zhao Hui felt abnormal. It's just that the anomaly doesn't come from the surroundings of the Thursday, but from himself. Originally, I was walking forward step by step, but as I walked, I couldn't help but accelerate, and I had an urge to run.
The itching in my back disappeared the day before, and I thought that the effects of the No. 2 injection were over, but I didn't realize that there was a big problem with the motor nerves again.
Zhao Hui asked Zuo Licheng uneasily: "You have been with Zhang Mingwei for a long time, have you heard that you can survive after being injected with the No. 2 injection?" ”
Zuo Licheng recalled all what he had seen and heard in the East Second District, shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of it, as far as I know, he will die soon after injecting the No. 2 injection, and the process is extremely painful. ”
Zhao Hui's experience was very different from what Zuo Licheng said, he said to himself: "It was really painful at the time, and then it was very itchy, I thought that the No. 2 injection was going to attack, but it was just ......, and it was not a big problem after a few days." ”
Zuo Licheng is very clear about the other cases he has seen before, "Generally speaking, you will die within two days after the injection, I don't think Mr. Zhao will have a problem, this has been a week." ”
Zhao Hui subconsciously patted the muscles on his thighs, feeling that they had become stronger, "It must be a side effect of the injection, and the physical strength is somewhat out of the control of the brain." ”
Zuo Licheng comforted him and said: "Mr. Zhao Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will be fine." ”
"I hope so!"
In the following days, Zhao Hui always felt that he had endless energy, and as he walked, he left the team behind him a few hundred meters, even those giants couldn't catch up. Injection No. 2 not only didn't kill him, but gave him the energy to enter rampage mode at any time.
"A violent beating and itchy skin for a few days can be exchanged for such a harvest, even if you are beaten again, it is worth it." Zhao Hui was secretly a little proud in his heart, this is a real skill.
It's just that he's worried about how long this energy will last? After careful observation for the next week, I did not feel tired because of the frequent rampage.
Walking long distances in the desert, the members are dreaming of finding water to drink. Only Zhao Hui did not have a strong dehydration reaction and was extremely thirsty.
It was also Zhang Mingwei's experiment, and the women in the cave were not so lucky. Even if he has escaped now, his skin is still festering*** It is much more serious than imagined.
The women began to despair but were helpless, so they could only survive day by day, hoping that they could find some way to deal with it as soon as possible after arriving in the Red Triangle.
A red spot the size of a coin has appeared on Chen Nannan's calf, which will soon turn black if it develops like this, and then green pus will flow out. She has been walking at the back for fear of being discovered by Zhao Hui, in fact, why didn't Zhao Hui know? It is impossible for the people who came out of the test in the cave to be the exception of Chen Nannan alone.
Finally, just when everyone was exhausted, a high mountain appeared in the distance. You can clearly see a forest at the foot of the mountain, and a river flows from east to west closer to the forest.
The river is shallow but wide, dividing the desert and the forest in two, as if a line drawn by God, and the clear water looks exceptionally calm in the sun's rays.
Seeing the river, the severely dehydrated Stormman saw hope. A giant with chapped lips dropped his luggage and rushed over, followed by several women, crouched down and gulped down the water.
"Whew!" But the giant let out a terrible howl, and stumbled back four or five meters from the bank of the river like an electric shock, opened its mouth wide, and shook its head in great pain.
"What's the situation?" Zhao Hui roared and hurriedly blocked the group of women behind him.
The giant fell to the ground and writhed in pain, puffs of green smoke began to rise above his head. This scene frightened Chen Nannan so much that he was about to cry, what kind of pain could make the tall giant so crazy?
The women who were squatting by the river were frightened and screamed backwards.
Everyone looked into the water again, and it was a clear river, and the current was still smooth and unusual. Looking back at the giant, the entire upper body had been reduced to ashes, and the two legs below the waist were still twitching slightly.
The women began to weep, they had seen many ways to die, and this was the first time that they had been reduced to ashes in such an inexplicable horror.
It must have been because he came into contact with the river water, and not only the giant drank it, but also several women who ran in front of it. I really didn't expect that after half a month of arduous trekking, I would get to the end in exchange for a life.
"Quick, spit out the water!" Zhao Hui shouted.
But it's too late, and when you drink the water in your stomach, you can spit it out. Seeing this situation, everyone did not dare to rush to help, so they could only wait and see what happened.
As the minutes ticked by, the giant's lower limbs disappeared into the sand of the riverbed. But the women didn't react as expected, and they slapped their bodies to prove that they were alive.
Zhao Hui boldly stepped forward, slowly squatted at the water's edge, first looked quietly for a while, and then stuck his nails into the water.
No problem! Then a finger, and still no problem.
Zhao Hui was analyzing whether it would be in contact with the digestive system to react, so he put his finger in his mouth and sucked the droplets. In addition to the smell of sweat, the river water also has a hint of sweetness.
The others watched silently behind them, worried expressions on their faces. Especially Chen Nannan and An Liu, involuntarily learned Zhao Hui's sucking action, but there was no water on their fingers.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hui took another big mouthful of water to put into his mouth, and there was an exclamation behind him: "Don't!" ”
He looked back, and everyone wanted to stop him, so he shook his head and signaled everyone not to panic, and finally insisted on drinking the water.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
One minute, five minutes......
There was no abnormal reaction like that of the giant, so Zhao Hui took a few more big sips, except for the sweet aftertaste, there was no pain, but the pleasure of drinking water after a long thirst.
"Zuo Licheng!" Zhao Hui shouted.
Zuo Licheng instinctively took a step back, "Huh? ”
Zhao Hui didn't look back, just waved his hand and said, "Come and try it!" ”
