Chapter 203: Human Scorpions Are Similar
Wei Yi's eyes widened in shock. He didn't expect that the person who brought him in would be Li Mingyu. Moreover, the disguise of this person is so well done. Wei Yi hadn't noticed anything unusual before.
He suddenly thought of an extremely terrible thing, and he was so shocked that he said to Li Mingyu repeatedly: "It's not good. The things I gave you to eat were poisoned food. This sucks! ”
Who knows, after Li Mingyu heard this, he just smiled faintly. He whispered to Wei Yi: "I already knew what you were thinking. Rest assured. Those things don't work for me. ”
Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to continue asking, there were suddenly many "rustling" sounds in the distance. Wei Yi was startled, and subconsciously held the short knife on his waist.
But as soon as he grabbed the handle of the short knife, he was stopped by Li Mingyu. Wei Yi looked sideways at Li Mingyu in confusion and asked with his eyes.
Li Mingyu shook his head lightly towards Wei Yi, lowered his voice and said, "Don't be impatient. It's a lot more dangerous than you think. Don't take it lightly. Once exposed, it will be difficult for you and me to get out again. ”
As he spoke, he patted Wei Yi on the shoulder and whispered, "Listen to my instructions." I'll tell you when it's time to do it. ”
Wei Yi nodded, and slowly let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife. Voices in the distance are getting closer. When Wei Yi and Li Mingyu turned around the corner of the corridor, several dim-colored red giant scorpions suddenly appeared in the depths of the corridor not far from them.
These giant scorpions were very different from the one Wei Yi had encountered before. They were no more than half a man tall, and their tail hooks were as slender as a willow branch, like the tail of an animal, and they swayed casually behind them. Their claws are more open than those of the brown giant scorpions. Each sting claw was only slightly thicker than Wei Yi's thighs.
"Don't move. These red scorpions have a keen sense of smell. They know the smell of strangers. Li Mingyu stopped Wei Yu and continued, "We have to eat this, otherwise, they will immediately recognize your and my identity." ”
As he spoke, he pulled a box out of his pocket. Quickly pour two black pills from the box. Li Mingyu handed one of the pills to Wei Yu and said, "Eat quickly." The smell was a little bad, but it wasn't a big deal. ”
Wei Yi nodded and quickly swallowed the pill. But as soon as the pill was in his mouth, Wei Yu felt an indescribable fishy smell, which quickly spread to all parts of his body in his mouth.
He covered his mouth and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his stomach. But the constant churning and vomiting sensation made Wei Yi really unbearable.
"Bear with it, don't spit it out." Li Mingyu lowered his voice and said to Wei Yi.
Wei Yi struggled to force down the churning sensation. It took him a moment to finally get used to it.
"This thing is terrible." Wei Yi complained while stroking his chest and breathing.
"I bet you wouldn't want to know what it's made of." Li Mingyu said, pointing with his chin at the red scorpion that was gradually approaching.
An extremely chilling feeling instantly enveloped Wei Yi's body. He suddenly felt a violent churn in his stomach, and he hurriedly covered his mouth in a panic. He was silent for a moment before he finally forced the discomfort down again.
The red giant scorpion quickly approached Wei Yi and Li Mingyu's side. They looked at Wei Yi and the others suspiciously. Under Li Mingyu's suggestion, Wei Yu stood quietly in place, not daring to move.
His eyes were fixed on the red giant scorpions, his fists clenched and released. Minutes and seconds passed. The giant scorpions had no intention of leaving. Their dark brown eyes stared at Wei and the others without blinking.
There was a dangerous smell in the air. Wei Yi could almost feel the cold murderous aura emanating from those red giant scorpions. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. But when he thought of what Li Mingyu had just commanded, he could only stay quietly in place, not daring to make any changes.
"Hey, look at me, forget about that." Li Mingyu suddenly said at this time.
Wei Yi was stunned for a moment and looked sideways at Li Mingyu. He saw Li Mingyu quickly take out a small bag from his coat pocket, raise his hand and throw it over. A red giant scorpion stretched out its stinging claws and quickly caught the bag that Li Mingyu had thrown over.
It sniffed at the bag and nodded in satisfaction to the other giant scorpions. The murderous aura in the air suddenly disappeared at this moment. Wei Yi looked at this scene in surprise, and his mind suddenly became a little trance.
He had no idea that such a scenario would happen to these non-human creatures. He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. It seems that this kind of thing is not unique to human society.
After getting what they wanted, the red giant scorpions quickly spun around Wei and the others. They sniffed the scent on Wei Yi's body, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, they quickly left.
And the contents of the small bag were quickly divided by the giant scorpions. There was a broken bag on the ground, silently telling of something that no one knew.
After the figures of those red giant scorpions completely disappeared, Wei Yi lowered his voice and asked Li Mingyu, "What did you give them?" It doesn't look like you're here for the first time. ”
Li Mingyu nodded, and said as he walked quickly with Wei Yi: "Whatever the scorpions like to eat, I will give them anything." Otherwise, how do you think I escaped? Sometimes, we have to do something to make the world around us work in our favor. ”
Wei Yi shook his head and smiled, and asked again, "How did you get mixed up with them?" You've hidden it so well that I can't even find out. If you hadn't changed back to the original voice, I wouldn't have believed it. ”
Li Mingyu was happy and said, "I have to thank you for this." ”
Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, and while following Li Mingyu towards the distance, he asked suspiciously, "Thank me?" Thank me for what? ”
"If you hadn't led the team here and disrupted those people's encirclement and suppression of us, I wouldn't have had a chance. So, who do you thank if you don't thank you? Li Mingyu said, patting Wei Mi on the shoulder, expressing his gratitude.
As they made their way forward, the hallway gradually approached the end. Wei Yi looked around carefully and saw that they were almost at the end of the entire corridor. There are no branches around. At the end of the corridor, however, is an airtight wall.
Wei Yi couldn't help but be a little puzzled. He looked sideways at Li Mingyu, and when he was about to ask, Li Mingyu pointed to the wall and said, "We're here." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the wall and reached out and nudged it. The wall was silently pushed open. He looked at Wei Yi, pointed behind the wall, and said, "This is it." ”
Wei Yi followed Li Mingyu's line of sight. Behind the wall, he saw a downward spiraling passageway. The entire passage spirals downwards and appears to be going deep underground. Looking down from the angle where Wei Yi was, there was no end in sight.
"Do you know where he's being held?" Wei Yi asked.
Li Mingyu nodded. He pointed to the bottom of the spiral steps and said to Wei Yi, "It's down there." This is a secret passage to the underground research institute. I've been here once before by accident. Unfortunately, I encountered some circumstances and had to leave early. ”
As he spoke, he walked down first. Wei Yi hurriedly followed, and walked deep underground together. The spiral steps are designed to be extremely compact, with a width of only enough for one person to walk. And the outermost part of the stairs is just a simple railing. Wei Yi felt that if he was not careful, he was likely to fall down accidentally.
Every step he takes, he has to be cautious, for fear that if he takes a wrong step, he will accidentally fall. He didn't want to be that unlucky.
But the whole staircase spirals downward, as if there is no end in sight. Wei Yi walked for a while, and couldn't help but look around, wanting to see if the end of the steps had arrived. But he was disappointed to find that the entire corridor. They've only walked a short distance. There's still a long road ahead.
The spiraling steps, looking down from the perspective where Wei Yi is now, still have no end in sight. Wei Yi couldn't help but ask with some confusion, "Why is it so deep?" When was this built? It seems that there were no such buildings in Huainan City before. ”
"What you've seen before isn't necessarily everything." Li Mingyu said slowly, "Don't you know, under the ground of Huainan City, there is a biological research institute that was closed before the war. If I'm guessing correctly, there's a good chance that these scorpions were released from there. ”
Wei Yi was stunned and asked, "Institute of Biology?" Research what? Scorpion? ”
"Who knows." Li Mingyu spread his hands and continued to lower his voice and said, "There is a research data of the bloodthirsty vine hidden in it. It's best to find it before we go. If it is allowed to fall into the hands of those people, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
He said, paused, and continued: "If you really can't find it. At the very least, we're going to destroy the place. Otherwise, you saw it. These scorpions are just too dangerous. Once there are batches, it will be an even greater disaster. ”
Wei Yi looked at Li Mingyu in some surprise, and was about to ask something when some voices suddenly came from the depths of the steps. It seemed to be the sound of someone moving.
Li Mingyu made a booing gesture towards Wei Yi. He pointed to the bottom of the stairs and motioned for Wei Yi to continue descending with him. Wei Yi nodded, and followed Li Mingyu towards the ground again.
They kept quiet, walking cautiously and cautiously. The voices from the depths of the underground gradually got closer and closer to Wei Yu and the others. But from where Wei Yi was, it was impossible to see whether it was a human or a scorpion who was coming towards them.
He couldn't help but think of a very difficult question in his mind: if it was the scorpions, how should they give way to each other? Is it possible to let them have a close encounter with the scorpion?
As soon as Wei Yi thought of this, the hairs on his body instantly stood on end. Just as they were going deeper and deeper step by step, Wei Yi finally saw the source of the oncoming sound.
