Chapter 187: Spores
Somewhere in the West Erdo Desert. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A shuttle slowly landed on the dunes, the hatch opened, and a man in a black trench coat jumped out of the car, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and watched left and right.
The mask covered his face, making it impossible to tell his appearance or age.
Immediately after, another man walked out.
He was a thin man, wrapped in a white cloth, and his head was tightly wrapped, revealing only two eyes, which seemed to be a little dull.
As soon as I got out of the car, there was a heart-rending cough, accompanied by retching, and I almost fell down without standing firmly, so I had to hold on to the shuttle door with one hand.
"Lao Guo, are you sick again?"
A muscular woman jumped out of it.
She wears the same outfit as the man in the trench coat, with a black trench coat and a face mask.
"It's okay, motion sickness ......"
"Sorry, sorry, I drove a little hard." The woman smiled sheepishly.
The man in the trench coat glanced back and asked, "Are you sure it's here?" ”
Guo Yun glanced at the disc-shaped instrument in his hand and nodded: "It's here." ”
The man in the trench coat glanced in front of him, suddenly noticed something, and walked quickly towards the bottom of the sand dune.
The woman immediately followed, drew her pistol with her hand, and did not forget to turn around and say, "If you feel unwell, go back to the car and rest, it is enough to have me and the captain here." ”
Guo Yun hesitated for a moment, but still followed with a deep and shallow foot, holding the disc tightly in his hand.
The man in the trench coat squatted not far away, holding a metal fragment in his hand, and looked closely.
"Captain, this can't be ......" The woman looked at the man in the trench coat and waited for him to speak.
"Fragments of the shuttle." Guo Yun finished the words for her.
The woman clenched her fists and said hatefully, "It must have been done by the guards here!" We must avenge this revenge! ”
The two men didn't speak, and after a while, Guo Yun said: "The signal source is here, it shouldn't be deep." ”
The man in the trench coat nodded and said to the woman, "Drive the car over and dig." ”
"Okay."
Half an hour later......
A twisted shuttle was dug up.
The three of them stepped aside, watching the scene in amazement, unable to utter a word.
There was no doubt that it was the same shuttle they had sent to investigate, but it had been twisted beyond recognition by this time.
This is obviously not caused by thermal weapons, but more like it was twisted like this by some kind of brutal force.
If it wasn't the guards, who else would it be?
What monster would have such terrifying powers?
……
……
Inside a canyon.
I saw that in the shot, Zheng Guo seemed to be burned by fire, and jumped out for several meters in a row. Holding the Heavenly Evil Knife in his hand, he stared vigilantly at the campfire.
It's rare to see Zheng Guo like this, and the audience likes to see it.
"Guo Ye is actually afraid of small insects!"
"Hahahahaha
"No, when I was in the Tesoro Jungle, I didn't meet many insects, and I didn't see Guo Ye like this."
"Is there anything special about that little bug just now?"
"Is it poisonous?"
……
The audience's discussion is actually close to the truth.
Zheng Guo said: "That bug is the sand worm mentioned earlier, and judging from its size, it should be a larva that has just hatched. But even the larvae have almost developed the teeth of the mouth, and they can easily burrow into the flesh of people, but they are not very toxic. ”
After a pause, he said, "Sand worms usually act together in large groups, and this is what I'm really worried about. ”
A few sand worms aren't scary, but a large army of thousands is pretty scary.
Even if he has peerless martial arts, he will definitely not be able to resist the army of hidden sandworms, and if he does not escape in time, he will only be transformed into a hive.
So the reaction just now is not exaggerated, he still thinks that he is not jumping fast enough.
After waiting quietly for a while, there was nothing unusual on the side of the campfire.
There were no large numbers of sand worms pouring out of the sand, and even the little larva just now did not show up again.
The situation did not seem to be as bad as he had imagined.
Although sand worms have a habit of acting in groups, it is not impossible for one or two lone larvae to appear once in a while.
In fact, Zheng Guo felt very strange from just now.
Sand worms generally move in sand dunes.
In the endless sand, they are like fish in water, turning clouds and rain, they are absolute overlords, and any creature that encounters them will only be abused.
And this kind of terrain in the canyon is not an ideal place for them, and the possibility of an army of sand worms infesting here is actually very small.
Thinking of this, Zheng Guo relaxed a little and returned to the campfire.
But I can't relax like I did just now, sitting on the ground, I always feel uncomfortable under my buttocks, and I want to look back from time to time.
He decided to eat and drink as soon as possible and leave this place of right and wrong.
I took out a four-eyed sand lizard from my backpack, and when I saw it, it happened to be the sick one.
Zheng Guo thought about it and felt that it was not safe to eat sick prey, so he planned to change to another one.
So he casually threw this one aside.
In the process of rubbing against the ground, an exoskeleton of the sand lizard fell off, revealing a portion of its flesh.
Zheng Guo glanced at it inadvertently, as if he saw something unusual, so he dragged it back again.
I saw that the bare flesh seemed to have been corroded by something, and it was full of holes.
What is terrifying is that there are countless flesh-colored nodules attached to it.
Caught off guard, without warning.
The audience was disgusted and protested.
"Damn, it's disgusting!"
"What the hell is this!"
"Dense phobia is coming!"
"Take the pass!"
"Master, I'm eating!"
……
Zheng Guo looked serious, and used a dagger to cut open the exoskeleton on its belly, and peeled it open to both sides, revealing the flesh inside.
Sure enough, most of them were badly rotten.
The rotting flesh was covered with such lumps, some the size of grit, and some the size of a fingernail. The surface is wrinkled, like a flower bud.
There is no need for Zheng Guo to explain, water friends already know what this is.
Because the bun gave a close-up.
In the shot, a brown larva is crawling out of a ruptured tumor, oozing thick mucus.
These dense nodules are all spores of sand worms!
Zheng Guo cursed and immediately threw the body of the four-eyed sand lizard into the fire.
I can't imagine that I have been carrying the hatching nest of a sand worm on my back for so long.
Zheng Guo secretly scolded himself for being careless, why didn't he want to check it first, he was really dizzy.
The spores burst in the heat and made a crackling sound.
Zheng Guo immediately stood up and walked to the side, quickly taking off his clothes and shoes.
"Baozi, help me see if there are any wounds on my body."
