My companions rushed up and helped me up. I was paralyzed and weak, sunk in four or five pairs of arms, and I felt as if there was a meat grinder in my chest, tearing flesh and skin mercilessly. My face was distorted, my body was constantly trembling, I didn't even have the strength to moan, my eyes were black, and the anxious faces and closed mouths of Wang Linshuo and others became blurred.

I don't know how long it was, it seemed like a century long and it seemed to be a short life, the meat grinder in my chest seemed to run out of power, the pain gradually subsided, and I was finally able to spit out the broken words. Wang Linshuo wiped my forehead with paper, and I found that there was almost no dry place on my face, and beads of sweat fell to the ground along my chin.

Zhang Siyuan frowned and joked: "Look at you, you look like a woman in the hospital who has just given birth, sweating profusely and her face is pale." Why can't I see your cubs? ”

I panted and said, "Where is the birth, I have clearly passed away from the ghost gate." ”

Wang Zhen stared worriedly at the festering wound on my chest: "Obviously it's not broken...... How did it festering so deeply? ”

I shook my head helplessly: "Who do I ask when you ask me?" Now I feel not only pain here, but also a dull pain in my stomach and chest......" I said and undressed my clothes, and the large redness and swelling on my belly and chest made me speechless in panic, and my tongue and teeth collided for a long time before I exclaimed, "This, what's going on?" ”

Katsuko smacked his lips and said, "Boss, your wound seems to be spreading, if you can't find an antidote tonight, it won't spread to the whole body, right?" ”

My heart cracked open, and my whole body hurt violently, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something going on. Wang Zhen glared at Shengzi in annoyance, and Shengzi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and scratched his head in embarrassment and took a few steps back. Wang Linshuo helped me up and said with relief: "Let's leave immediately, we will definitely find it before the sun sets." ”

I squeezed out a wry smile and glanced at my red, swollen and pus-filled chest, and the miserable and desolate mood rushed up like a wave and drowned me. Zhang Siyuan didn't notice my abnormality, and still patted me on the shoulder noisily and smiled: "If you really can't find it, I'll accompany you to the dog - anyway, I've seen everything I should see, and I don't want to go through another arduous desert long march." ”

Everyone simply packed up and continued on the endless road. Since Katsuko and I were both weak and had to be carried by people, it greatly hindered the team's acceleration. Although I was anxious and scratched my heart with a hundred claws, I was powerless, so I could only slowly grasp Wang Linshuo and move forward.

Everyone craned their necks, their eyes rolling in their sockets, looking at each strand of yellow sand, hoping that they would bulge slightly. Wang Zhen and Zhang Siyuan kept sticking their hands into the sand without getting tired, rummaging and searching, but there was no sign of life. Until the sun hung high in the sky, and the wave of heat it shot mercilessly scorched everyone's back, we still found nothing.

Wang Zhen looked at his broken watch, shook his head and sighed: "Why is it twelve o'clock at noon so soon?" This morning has passed so quickly that I can't even catch it. ”

I didn't have the heart to think about whether I could find it, so I shook my head vigorously to drive away the messy and ominous thoughts in my mind, and said forcefully: "Leave that alone, sit down and eat something before moving." ”

Zhang Siyuan's expression was relaxed, he must have been tired for a long time, but he couldn't ask for a rest due to time constraints. He sat on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, took out a dry compressed biscuit from his bag and stuffed it into his mouth, glanced at his kettle with concern at the bottom, and said while chewing: "The scallion oil-flavored compressed biscuits are really unpalatable, which factory produces them?" Pull black and black. ”

Wang Zhen pouted and moved to the side, and said in disgust: "Can you swallow it and speak again?" Spit stars and cookie crumbs sprayed me in the face. ”

Zhang Siyuan smiled embarrassedly, and was about to speak, when his eyes suddenly changed, he threw the biscuits aside and jumped up, pointed to the front and shouted, "When did that poplar tree come out?" ”

I fixed my eyes and saw that seven or eight hundred meters away from us, a thin poplar had somehow emerged. It was hunched over, its thin, dry trunk bent at an uncanny angle, crimson leaves pressed against its head like exploding heads. In an instant, Wang Zhen turned the gun into his hand, Wang Linshuo rubbed his eyes and frowned: "How is it possible, there is nothing here just now......"

In addition to my panic, I also had a glimmer of anticipation, maybe there was a sign from heaven, and there was a lot of grass growing under the poplar that I needed. I haven't recovered from my fantasy yet, Wang Zhen has already tiptoed over, I looked at the gun in his hand with only four or five bullets, and couldn't help but hang high, dragging Wang Linshuo behind him.

We walked up to the poplar in fear, and when we were still two or three inches away from it, Wang Linshuo grabbed us, and he frowned and said, "I didn't find any threat, this is an ordinary poplar." ”

Zhang Siyuan pouted and said, "No matter how normal it is, it must be abnormal for something to appear here rashly." I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but ...... If there were enough bullets, I'd like to give it a shot. ”

Before his words landed, Wang Zhen had already pulled the trigger. Wang Linshuo's faces and I changed at the same time, but it was too late to stop him, so he could only take a few steps back quickly. The bullet jumped out of the chamber and pierced into the trunk of the tree, and the poplar branch that was lying on its back exploded, and it was already lying on the ground before it could even tremble. I craned my neck to look over, only to see the broken and incomplete roots of Populus euphratica, and couldn't help but secretly complain about Wang Zhen's behavior of wasting bullets, Zhang Siyuan squinted his eyes and said, "It doesn't seem to be anything special...... Holy shit, what's running out of its trunk? ”

Hundreds of long black insects poured out of the split trunks of the poplars, sticking their flesh together and wriggling like a black choppy ocean. My scalp tingled, and I took a few steps back and said, "How can there be so many bugs in the trunk?" ”

Zhang Siyuan's face turned yellow, he tilted his head and lowered his eyes, and he didn't dare to look directly at those insects. Wang Zhen stroked the body of the gun, grabbed him who was about to fall to the ground because his center of gravity was unbalanced, and smiled curiously: "Why are you still afraid of these meat worms?" ”

Zhang Siyuan screamed: "I'm not afraid at all!" It's okay to take out a few of them and let me play with them, but I have a phobia of density! I'm sick when I look at that pile of and I can, can you please stop talking about it? ”

I couldn't help laughing at his frightened look, and I was about to pat my shoulder to squeeze it, when suddenly I heard a rustling sound in my ears, and when I looked up, I saw that the black 'ocean' seemed to have become larger.

I frowned, endured the discomfort and looked closely, only to realize that an extremely fierce round-up was going on in the 'ocean'. Hundreds of giant spiders that looked like black balls and were half the size of a palm poured out from under the severed roots of Populus euphratica, and without hesitation, they rushed straight towards the flesh worm and rushed in for a fight.

Wang Zhen was stunned, and involuntarily clenched the gun in his hand, and muttered with straight eyes: "Aren't spiders all webs to catch prey, how are these different?" ”

Before I could reply, the broken roots of the poplar were suddenly arched, and a large bag arched over the desert, and yellow sand continued to flow down from the top. Wang Zhen raised the gun and said with a calm face: "It seems to be a big guy." ”

Zhang Siyuan was already frightened, and he shouted, "Don't run yet!" If a bunch of big bugs pop up, I'm dead! ”

I pulled out of my stance and looked at the bulging punching bag. Several long, slender black legs protruded from the yellow sand, and then like a ball, a belly the size of half a human head arched out. Wang Linshuo scolded viciously and shouted, "Run, this is the black widow!" ”

The first thought that popped into my head was, how did the superheroes in Marvel get here? But when I saw the red funnel-shaped pattern on its abdomen and its slender and powerful legs, my brain was blank, my soul was scattered, and I quickly turned around and ran as fast as I could, as long as I was bitten by this thing, I would never see the sun tomorrow!

Wang Zhen ran behind everyone, sprinting and firing a gun at the black widow's abdomen. The sound of gunshots, footsteps, and wheezing was a mess in my ears, and I didn't care about anything but ran as hard as I could. Just as I was panting and my lungs were about to explode, I suddenly heard a sound of flesh exploding behind me, and then Wang Zhen's breathless voice came: "Don't run, you're dead." ”

I stopped in a panic and looked back to see the huge spider lying on the ground with a blur of flesh and blood, its ball-like sac had cracked, and the red and black inside were mixed together, and people couldn't help but feel sick. I looked at its back covered in dirt and blood, and said with trepidation, "How can there be such a big black widow spider?" ”

Wang Linshuo looked at the black 'ocean' composed of small spiders that kept surging towards us, gritted his teeth and said, "The battle is not over yet, Wang Zhen, hand me a lighter." ”
