Chapter 122: Sticky Creature
Wei Yi and Li Mingyu passed through this dense forest very smoothly when many plants took the initiative to give way. But even then, it took them a full night to get close to the telecommunications tower in the distance.
The communication tower in the distance looked so close, but Wei Yi didn't expect that it would be so far away when he really walked. He stood on a small hill not far from the tower, slowly recovering his strength, and observing the tower from afar in the sunlight.
This should be a cylindrical building with a slightly thinner top. But by this time, the whole tower had completely changed.
Wei Yi didn't see clearly until this time that there were eye-catching scars everywhere on the body of that tower. A shocking huge whip mark, as if falling from the sky, was inlaid on the body of the tower. On one side of the tower, a large piece is concave inward. The appearance of this groove makes the whole tower show a very irregular curved arc.
Wei Yi looked at it from a distance, and felt that it looked like a death row prisoner who had been tortured all the time, and looked at him pleadingly as if he was longing for relief. He hurriedly shook his head, shaking off the strange thought that popped into his head.
Wei Yi carefully examined the whip marks. He felt that the traces that were deeply embedded in the body of the tower were very similar to being slapped into it by some kind of object with great force. On the ground around the tower, Wei Yi didn't see any other objects in the distance. This negates that the groove was caused by impact.
But the body of this tower is clearly made of metal. Wei Yi's light reflected from the tower, and he guessed that the material from which the tower was made might be some kind of extremely strong metal. But the metal tower, which was supposed to be extremely strong, was now lying there in its dying. This couldn't help but make Wei Yi start to guess, what could be the thing that could cause such serious damage to this metal tower?
It is precisely because the tower is tilted so badly that many of the signal lights on the tower are hanging upside down around the tower. As soon as the wind blew, they swayed wildly with the wind. But they haven't stopped working, and they're still flashing. And these signal lights also happened to be the true faces of those suspected fireflies that Wei Yi saw at the beginning.
Wei Yi couldn't help but turn his head sideways and said to Li Mingyu: "I've been doing it for a long time, it turns out that these things are flashing." I thought it was a firefly. ”
Li Mingyu stared at the signal lights that were still flashing and thought for a moment. After a while, he turned his head sideways and said to Wei Yi, "The signal light is still working." Someone must be constantly sending signals here. Let's go over and take a look. ”
When Wei Yi heard Li Mingyu say this, his spirit couldn't help but perk. If it is really as Li Mingyu said, then maybe you can get some useful information. Now, all information about the outside world is blank, and they need to know the outside world so much.
Wei Yu hurriedly answered, and hurried towards the communication tower in the distance. Li Mingyu didn't say a word, and hurried towards the communication tower.
They scurried all the way to the entrance of the communication tower. But when he got here, Wei Yi made a difficulty. The entrance to the tower in front of them was destroyed by something. The entire gate was sealed with rubble and some kind of gelatinous object.
Wei Yi tried to move the rubble. But the tentacles felt smooth and sticky, and he really couldn't get started. To make matters worse, this colloidal object, I don't know exactly what it is. As soon as they touched Wei Yi's hands, they were extremely difficult to remove.
Ever since Wei Yi was touched by this viscous gelatinous substance, he began to feel that his hands were itching for a while. To make matters worse, he felt as if the thing was constantly slowly squirming in his hand.
Wei Yi tried to scrub the dirt on the ground, scrape with tree branches, and even ask Li Mingyu to take out the water in his backpack to wash, but he couldn't peel off the gelatinous materials that stuck to his hands.
This couldn't help but make Wei Yi feel very uncomfortable. And Li Mingyu obviously felt very helpless about this kind of thing stuck to Wei Yi's hands. He didn't know what it was.
With the knowledge in his head, he vaguely felt that this might be a kind of vegetable gum. But the stickiness of vegetable glue should not reach such a level in any case. What made him even more puzzled was that this gelatinous substance was extremely difficult to dissolve in water.
They tried almost everything, but they couldn't remove the glue from Wei Yi's hands. Wei Yi could only hold his hands flat helplessly, not daring to touch anything at will. But the itching sensation on his hands from time to time became more and more intense, and Wei Yi couldn't help rubbing his hands together. But it still didn't help. The itching sensation seemed to penetrate deep into the bone marrow, which made Wei Yi feel very uncomfortable.
He suddenly remembered some tips his mother had told him about washing clothes. He turned his head abruptly and asked Li Mingyu, "Uncle, you brought so much food, did you bring rice vinegar?" ”
Li Mingyu was stunned. He was stunned for a few seconds before he hurriedly unloaded his backpack and rummaged through it for a long time, finally finding a small bottle of Shanxi old vinegar.
He took the bottle of aged vinegar and asked Wei Yi, "Can this thing work?" ”
Wei Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. My mom used to tell me that if there were any stains that couldn't be washed off, just soak them in vinegar. I think this thing should also belong to the category of stains that can't be washed off. There's no other way to do it anyway, so let's give it a try. I don't even feel like I'm own. ”
Li Mingyu shook his head and walked up to Wei Yi in a few steps. He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, looked at Wei Yi's hands, and asked, "How do you try?" Do you pour it directly into your hands? ”
"No, no," Wei Yi hurriedly shook his head and said, "You take a piece of cloth." Dip a cloth in vinegar and wipe it first. If that doesn't work, let's think of another way. ”
Li Mingyu quickly ripped off a large piece of fabric from his body. He dipped the cloth in the bottle of vinegar and slowly wiped Wei Yi's hands.
After a while, a scene that made them feel very magical appeared. Wei Mi tried many methods to peel off the gelatinous substance, and soon after coming into contact with this old vinegar, he slowly withdrew from Wei Mi's hand.
They squirmed, broke away from Wei Wei's hands, and slid to the ground. Wei Yi and Li Mingyu glanced at each other, both a little surprised by the power of Chen Vinegar. But they soon discovered that it was not the power of the vinegar, but the gelatinous substance itself that was actually a living creature.
They seem to have an extreme aversion to aged vinegar. Soon after Wei Yi smeared the vinegar, he quickly moved away from Wei Yi.
Wei Yi looked at his hands that had become unusually smooth, and said to Li Mingyu, "This thing almost ate a layer of my skin." Quick, let's quickly put some on our bodies. Aged vinegar has an effect on this thing. Let's take precautions first. ”
As he spoke, he took the vinegar bottle in Li Mingyu's hand and quickly smeared it on his body. Li Mingyu didn't expect that this gelatinous creature almost melted off a layer of Wei Yi's skin.
He couldn't help but raise his eyes and carefully examine the entrance not far away. Only then did he realize that the part of the rubble that had been stuck to it had shown some less obvious signs of dissolution.
"What the hell is this?" Li Mingyu couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
He was secretly glad that he had the habit of eating old vinegar, otherwise, he would not have carried these old Shanxi vinegar with him. He hurriedly rummaged through his backpack again. He searched for a while, and finally found half a bottle of Shanxi old vinegar.
He followed Wei Yi's example, and hurriedly began to apply it all over his body. A sour smell quickly spread across their bodies into the distance.
The rubble blocking the entrance slowly decomposed at this time. They spilled out in a mess and rolled out of order into all corners.
Wei Yi looked sideways at this scene. He took a closer look and found that the gelatinous matter was actually evacuating.
The gelatinous stuff seemed to be extremely disgusted by the taste of Shanxi vinegar. The moment the smell of aged vinegar arrived, they began to quickly leave the entrance, and quickly evacuated in the opposite direction to Wei Yi.
Wei Yi looked at them squirming and leaving, and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. He saw that on the ground where they had departed, there were traces of dense ravines. And on the rocky ground at the entrance, there are also traces of their corrosion.
Wei Yi really didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous thing would also be an extremely dangerous creature.
He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, if he hadn't been in a hurry just now and thought of trying to use vinegar, I'm afraid he would have lost these hands by now.
"What the hell is this?" Wei Yu asked Li Mingyu in a low voice.
Li Mingyu shook his head while smearing the vinegar and said, "I don't know." This is the first time I've seen such a strange creature. The world has become so powerful that I feel like the little knowledge I have in my head is a little insufficient. ”
Wei Yi shook his head and smiled. He didn't know what to say at this point. This increasingly bizarre world has too many changes that they don't know about. He already had a strange idea of this inexplicable creature.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. Wei Yi hurriedly glanced sideways at the entrance of the tower.
Under the pile of rubble at the entrance, Wei Yi seemed to see a flashing signal light. He pointed to the ground strangely and asked Li Mingyu, "Then why is there a signal light?" Can this signal light continue to work without power? ”
Li Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked in the direction Wei Yi was pointing. He stared at the flickering signal light for a moment, then walked over.
As he walked, he said, "This is not the signal light in the tower. I looked like a communicator. ”
As he spoke, he walked a few steps there, crouching down and trying to dig the thing out of the rubble that kept flashing signals.
Wei Yu hurriedly put down the things in his hand and quickly rushed to Li Mingyu's side. Together, the two of them quickly tore through the mass of rubble that was pressing down on the object.
After peeling away the rubble, Wei Yi saw a small instrument that had been crushed to the point of falling apart, and it appeared in front of his eyes.
Li Mingyu quickly checked the instrument. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to Wei Yi and said, "Fortunately, there is no damage to the key parts." I've done it a little bit and it should still work. ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the tower and looked for the tools available.
Not long after, Li Mingyu quickly returned here with some tools. He used those tools to quickly repair damaged instruments. In a short time, he repaired the almost scrapped instrument to a new look.
