The room on this floor is a nest of bugs.

The millipedes were stacked on top of each other, layer upon layer, getting higher and higher, like ladders, constantly following the exit, desperately climbing up.

Even though the rats were up there, and they were going to be the rats' delicacies, they were like crazy and kept pouring into the room, trying to climb up.

It's like they're running away from something.

Gao Chao suddenly had such a feeling, these millipedes, maybe they were running for their lives.

It's just that this thought is just a flash in his mind.

In the room of this worm's nest, the door was also open, so the fat man screamed loudly and rushed out of the door at the first time.

Gao Chao and Xia Qing only followed him, on the one hand, to ensure his safety, and on the other hand, they didn't want to stay here for another second.

They were covered in that green juice, which made them miserable, but also very helpless.

They had no choice but to move on, following the instructions on the map, in the dark and narrow corridors, towards where the next exit was.

There are still bugs on the ground, those disgusting millipedes.

Gao Chao no longer used his long knife to play with them, nor did he make a way in front of them, they seemed to be numb to the green juice that spewed out of the worm's body, and they just stepped on them like that, allowing them to be trampled to death.

None of them spoke again, just walked silently, the pungent stench in the hallway. It's already made them not even want to breathe. Even they will think. It's better to die here.

Fortunately, when they noticed that there seemed to be fewer bugs under their feet, the fat man pointed to a corner of the corridor in front of them and shouted.

"Look! There's a light over there! He had run forward.

They went back to the place where there were lights again.

Even though the lights in the hallway were so dim, it meant they weren't in the dark.

Seeing the light, they finally began to have the desire to speak and communicate like freed prisoners.

The fat man wiped the green and sticky juice from his face and grinned, "It's weird, there's a light place here." Not a single bug? ”

Gao Chao smiled bitterly and said, "What's wrong?" You're missing those little ones so soon? ”

The fat man said, "I don't, but do you know what I was thinking about when I was walking on top of those bugs just now?" ”

Gao shook his head.

The fat man said: "I was thinking, if only I were Cantonese, then I would be able to fill my stomach." ”

This time, Gao Chao and Xia Qing were both amused by the fat man.

But immediately, their laughter stopped abruptly.

It's just because, they're inadvertently. I found that on the floor of the corridor in front of me, there seemed to be a white flower.

This corridor has been abandoned for a long time. But it was clean, almost only a thick layer of dust, so in the dim light, if there was something on the flat ground, it would be immediately noticed.

The pile of things on the ground, very conspicuous, not a big stall, not too small, the three of them slowly approached, only to find that the stall was one by one, branch by branch, so it looked more like ......

"That's a bunch of ...... Bone? The fat man's eyes were still the best, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw those things clearly.

Sure enough, when they came closer, they realized that it was indeed a pile of bones.

The bones are a little messy, not the whole skeleton, so it's hard to tell what kind of animal the bones are.

The fat man was shocked and said, "Such a pile of bones, it can't be human, right?" ”

Xia Qing squatted on the ground and was checking, shaking his head and saying, "It's not like it's human." ”

"How do you see that?" The fat man also squatted.

Xia Qing actually picked up a small bone directly from the ground with his hand, and said, "You see, this is the backbone of a vertebrate, and there are more than thirty bones on a human body, but this is obviously not a human because this spine is too small." ”

Sure enough, the spine in Xia Qing's hand was only the thickness of a little thumb, which was indeed too small.

The fat man touched his chin and said, "Maybe it's a child's?" ”

Xia Qing sighed and said, "How can there be children here?" Besides, even if it's a child's, it's never like that. ”

The fat man wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Gao Chao.

Gao Chao said: "Then according to you, what kind of animal should this pile of bones be?" ”

Xia Qing took the small backbone, looked at it carefully, and muttered, "It seems to be those mice." ”

She picked up the spine and explained, "It's more like a rat's tailbone, and while I haven't dissected a mouse, there should be nothing wrong with it, maybe it's a bone in the mouse's tail." ”

As she spoke, she rummaged through the pile of bones, and in a few moments she had verified her assertions, and she found the tailbones of many rats.

It seems that this pile of white bones is a dead mouse.

"But how could this rat be here?"

Gao Chao couldn't help but think about this question already, in fact, he had been thinking about some difficult questions for a long time, but they didn't have time to put them on the table yet.

Maybe now is the right time.

Gao Chao looked at the pile of white bones on the ground and said, "Have you noticed that those rats only hunt in the upper layer and feed on those millipedes, but there are also many millipedes in this layer, even more than the top, so why haven't they appeared in this layer?" ”

He continued: "And they didn't chase us, we jumped down that exit, and they didn't see us at all, why is that?" ”

The fat man thought for a while and said, "Maybe those rats are not interested in us at all, they wanted to bite us to death, maybe because we ran into their nest, they were worried that we would be bad for those rat cubs, so they wanted to attack wildly, now the situation is different, they have those bugs in their mouths to eat, of course they don't have time to take care of us." ”

Gao Chao said: "But this can't be explained, why don't they come to this layer to eat?" ”

The fat man scratched his head and said, "Well, maybe once these rats jump down, they can't climb up again, so you see, this pile of white bones may be evidence, they can't go up when they jump down, so after they get lost, they starve to death here." ”

Xia Qing didn't seem to be able to listen to it anymore, and said coldly to the fat man: "Don't talk nonsense, the IQ of rats is not as low as you think, they will never be trapped under this ground, even if they are trapped, such a big mouse can still dig a hole out, so it is definitely not the reason you said." ”

The fat man was not convinced, and said, "Then what are you talking about?" ”

Xia Qing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there's only one reason. ”

"What is the reason?" Gao Chao couldn't help but say.

Xia Qing said: "From this level down, there may be something that can make those rats feel afraid, so they are reluctant to come down, even if we slip away from them, they are not willing to chase them." ”

Gao Chao nodded and said, "It makes sense, this may also be the reason why those millipedes are desperately climbing up." ”

The fat man couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and said, "That...... So what could it be? Down this floor, what else will there be? ”

Xia Qing looked at the pile of white bones on the ground again, and muttered, "I don't know what it will be, but you better take a look at this pile of bones first." ”
