On the main road of the town.

"Is that okay?" Cheng asked Ma Straw.

"Lao Tzu capsized in the gutter and lost to you kid, go ahead, go with me!" Ma Straw said helplessly.

The next afternoon, the city was armed, and he walked side by side with hemp straw to the entrance of Wailing Wind Town.

Fenanke was already waiting here along with two men, both of whom were among the best hunters in Wailing Wind, all carrying old-fashioned firearms on their backs or on their backs.

"I knew you were coming!" Fernanke looked at Ma Straw and said, "But why bring him?" ”

Ma Straw smiled casually and said, "I had a fight with him last night and lost to him, it's as simple as that!" ”

"Oh?" Fenanke's gaze at the city became different, he sorted out the bullet chain wrapped around his shoulder, raised the old-fashioned submachine gun in his hand, signaled to the other two, and said, "People, let's go!" ”

Ma Straw looked at Fernanke and the others who were about to leave: "Wait a minute, the enemies we are facing this time are not trivial, I have some understanding of them, so let's talk about them in detail first." ”

When Fenan Ke heard Ma Straw say this, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and he said, "Then have a small meeting!" ”

The five of them stood together, and Ma Straw said in the middle: "I have seen information about these mutated creatures in the cave by chance in the hive stronghold, and this mutated creature cannot be called a living creature completely, in fact, their essence is a dead thing, called an echinoderm corpse. ”

The other four people listened to what Ma Straw said, and all of them looked puzzled, how could a dead thing move around like a living thing and kill so many people?

Ma Straw continued: "An unknown mutated microorganism parasitizes on the corpses of dead primates, multiplies and divides, and after reaching a certain number, this mutated microorganism will give new life to the host it parasites, although it is a new life, it is more direct to manipulate, because they will only kill for the microorganisms, and do not have any autonomous ability. ”

"You mean we're dealing with a bunch of things that have already died once?" Fernanke asked.

"That's right." Ma Straw said: "Acanthic corpses, widely inhabited in caves, ordinary individuals belong to high-level mutant creatures, and stronger individuals have reached the first order or above, and their movements are agile and difficult to deal with." They like the dark and hate the light, and that's where we can make a fuss! On top of that, to incapacitate them, you have to attack their spine, or even their head! Remember! ”

"Ma Straw, how do you know that the contents must be the acanthoderm corpse in your mouth?" Fernanke asked.

Ma Straw couldn't help but recall the past events in the mine a few years ago, and said: "A few years ago, my two brothers died under their claws. ”

"Let's go!" Fenanke said, and then set off with the group.

After a few people left, Yuss's figure slowly walked out of the corner of the wall in the distance, and today she changed into a new outfit, which seemed a little too revealing compared to the previous pure clothes. Looking at the back of the city, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "Cheng, come on!" ”

The cave is low on a hill three miles north of Waifeng Mountain, and the entrance to the cave is quite wide, with a railroad track for transporting ore extending from it, and some tattered carts, tools, etc. scattered outside the entrance.

Because of the disaster of the past few days, none of the residents of Wailing Wind Town are working in it now, and no one dares to approach this place, for fear that the contents of it will suddenly come out and take their own lives.

Cheng and the other five stood in front of the mine and paused for a moment to prepare for their work.

He tied up the lamp and strode into the mine, Cheng and Fernand followed closely, while the other two hunters looked at the swarthy entrance and hesitated.

"Haha, old thing, look at who you're looking for?" Ma Straw quipped at Fernanke.

Fenanke looked back at the two, frowned, and shouted at the two: "What are you two still doing, hurry up and follow!" ”

As soon as Fernanke said this, the two had no choice but to follow the three people in front of them, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they pulled the gun safety in their hands early, loaded the bullet, and stuck tightly behind the bald man.

Seeing these two adults act like this, Cheng felt that the temperature in this mine cave instantly became cold, and his body trembled slightly.

"Can you two not be so nervous? Those ordinary thorny corpses can't stand your guns! Ma Straw laughed.

There was silence in the dark cavern, except for the sound of their footsteps, the occasional sound of water droplets.

The five of them walked in a group, very slowly, and the city wore miner's lamps and watched around.

The passage of time seemed to have slowed down a lot, and the road seemed to have become much longer, and the two of them only felt that their mouths were dry, and their clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.

As they walked deeper and deeper, as if a century had passed, they finally came to the area where the residents of Wailing Wind usually worked.

"How did you get all this blood on the roof of the cave?" Cheng asked, looking up at a large patch of dried and blackened blood above his head.

When everyone heard this, they looked up.

Ma Straw thought for a moment: "These blood stains are in the form of spurts, and the blood can be spurted out so high, obviously the deceased was cut by them to cut the blood vessels of the major arteries, if it is the neck position, then, the location where the deceased was before his death should be here!" ”

As he spoke, Ma Straw walked out of the crowd and stood on top of a position about five meters away, searching around.

Listening to the inference of the hemp straw and watching the movements of the hemp straw, except for the city, the other three people all felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet, Fernanke was fine, but the faces of the two hunters were already slightly pale.

After searching for a moment, Ma Straw walked a few steps away, picked up something, and with two fingers, walked up to the four men, and put it under the miner's lamp.

It was an earthy, earthy creature skin, very rough.

"This is the corpse of the echinoderm, their cortex is very unstable, it often falls off, and then it grows new, and they need to eat primates of their own weight when they change their skin!" Ma Straw said: "With the number of people lost, Lao Tzu deduced that there are no less than ten echinoderm corpses here!" ”

"This ...... So much? A hunter listened to Ma Straw, his body trembled, and his eyes sprouted retreat.

"Can you have some fun?" Fernanke slammed the butt of his rifle on the man's thigh and shouted: "Everyone must act together, don't disperse, otherwise it is easy to suffer a sneak attack, after all, we are in the light, they are in the dark." ”

"Now, let's go to that place." There was a look of remembrance in Ma Straw's eyes, and he held the hammer in his hand, and his body moved.

"Hmm!" Cheng nodded, and also pulled the red stone out from behind him, followed by the hemp straw.
