Sun Yan muttered in his heart, turned his head to look at the corridors on both sides, and said, "Then why are you in such a place?" And pressed by so many things? ”

The woman cried and howled, and told her experience of coming to Lop Nur intermittently, because she stuttered clearly and her thinking was relatively confused, so the two of them listened very hard, but in the end they still knew the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that the woman was a Hunan radio reporter, a month and a half ago with a Hunan archaeological team to Lop Nur, on the way back from the investigation to Loulan, half of the archaeological team suddenly had a high fever, I thought it was just an ordinary flu or pneumonia, but I didn't expect this high fever to be accompanied by mouth ulcers and skin ulcers, and the situation was very serious, some people died of high fever for two or three days. The team doctor was helpless and decided to hurry up and return, and when he returned to this barracks, someone in the team suggested to rest in this barracks, because there were many wounded in the team, and these old barracks used to be hospitals, so most of them agreed.

"But I didn't expect that on the day I came to this barracks, I also began to have a high fever, and the team ran out of antibiotics and antipyretics. I spent a long time in a coma, I don't know how long it was, when I woke up, I found that I was the way I am now, I couldn't even move, and the rest of the archaeological team was gone, I was the only one left here, they must have left me alone! The woman said.

Sun Yan couldn't help but say when he heard this: "I think, they didn't leave, they are all here"

When the woman heard this, she immediately raised her head and stared at Sun Yan and hurriedly said, "You said they are all here?" The people of the archaeological team are all here?! But I didn't see them, where are they?! ”

"They've all turned into another substance!"

Before Sun Yan and Qi Dongrui could answer, they heard someone say this. The two turned their heads in unison and saw Hu Tengjiu coming from the end of the corridor. With a gun in his hand, the expression on his face was unusually serious.

"Uncle Hu, why are you here?" Sun Yan asked.

"I see that you haven't come back for a long time, so come and see, Wang Biansai and I have already found a room where we can camp at night."

Sun Yan nodded and said, "Really?" That's good, the barracks here are basically uninhabitable, and we found some strange phenomena. ”

Hu Tengjiu was silent, and he didn't even frown at the strange phenomenon that Sun Yan said. The woman was lying on the ground and couldn't move, and her vision was blocked by the debris around her, so she was very curious about the people who came, and when she saw Hu Tengjiu standing still behind a pile of debris, the woman suddenly shouted: "Who are you?" What does it mean that they have become another substance? You explain it to me, ahem! ”

Hu Tengjiu opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Zhou, don't you remember me?" ”

As soon as they heard Hu Tengjiu open his mouth and call someone Xiao Zhou, Sun Yan and Qi Dongrui couldn't help but be startled, what, could it be that Hu Tengjiu knew this woman?

However, the woman's thinking was not so clear, and she stammered, "Who are you?" Why do you call me Xiao Zhou? ”

Hu Tengjiu sighed slightly and said, "Sure enough, you can't hear my voice now, I'm Guide Hu, your team leader!" ”

The woman suddenly realized, was stunned for a second, and shouted, "Are you Guide Hu?" You are a Hu guide! Great, I thought everyone had left me behind, but I didn't expect to meet you," she said, crying again.

Unexpectedly, Hu Tengjiu really knew this woman, and he was also the leader of the archaeological team last time, Sun Yan was also dumbfounded for a while, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Hu, what is going on?" You know Xiao Zhou, and since you are the leader of the archaeological team, you must know what happened to their archaeological team? And why is Xiao Zhou trapped here? ”

The woman hurriedly nodded and said, "What about the others?" What is the matter with what you just said that they have turned into another substance?! ”

Hu Tengjiu was silent for a while, and suddenly choked up: "Xiao Zhou, have you seen the changes in your legs, your current legs should no longer be flesh and blood, those green mycelium stuffed in your trousers are your future destination, and the rest of the archaeological team has also become like this, you can turn your head and look around, those green cotton wool scattered around you are the flesh and blood of your former companions!" ”

The woman was almost dumbfounded, her already swollen face became even more terrifying at this time, her lips trembled, and it took a long time to speak: "Hu Hu guide, what did you say?" Come here, let me see you"

Hu Tengjiu stood still and did not move, his emotions seemed to be very excited, but he was trying to suppress himself. Halfway through, he finally squeezed out a sentence: "I'm sorry, I don't want to see you the way you are now." ”

The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing, and there was a sense of despair in the air.

Qi Dongrui's face had been bad, and at this time, he turned his head and asked Hu Tengjiu: "You haven't answered yet, what's going on?" Why does this kind of lesion occur in the human body, and this archaeological team finally became like this, it should have something to do with you! ”

Sun Yan thought about it, the entire archaeological team had encountered an accident here, why did Hu Tengjiu have nothing to do. And before he came over just now, he knew that Xiao Zhou was pressed in this place, could it be that Sun Yan "chuckled" in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

Under Qi Dongrui's questioning, the expression on Hu Tengjiu's face did not have a trace of waves, and he said unhurriedly: "This is not a plague, but a hairy virus, which has suddenly broken out in the last few months, covering almost the entire Lop Nur. As long as the people who are attacked by this virus are almost not immune, at first, the infected people will have a sore body, a high fever, and then the whole body will ulcerate, and from the ulcer will grow a fine hairy fungus, this hairy fungus will swallow the tissues, muscles and bone marrow of the animal, and after maturity, it will break out of the body and become these green clumps of hair that we see now, and this kind of hair is already a dead thing, and there is no danger to the living. ”

The three of them stayed for a while, and Sun Yan was the first to come back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What is the transmission route of this virus?" Why do some people die after two or three days of fever after being infected, while others have to wait for their bodies to mutate? Sun Yan said and inadvertently glanced at Xiao Zhou and found that she was completely stunned.

Hu Tengjiu replied: "The transmission route is air and living creatures, and infected people will die sooner or later due to different physiques. Some people are too weak to lose their lives due to lesions when they have a high fever, while some people can stubbornly endure the virus devouring their flesh and bones, and will die painfully until their internal organs are eaten.

"Moreover, this virus can only survive by living creatures, leaving ** or the host dies, the virus will soon lose its vitality, so at the moment when the patient dies, the virus spreads the most rapidly, because they must find the host immediately, if the usual chance of transmission infection is 20%, then the chance of infection at this time will be as high as 95%, so if there are ten people, eight people will be infected."

When Hu Tengjiu said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "So the last archaeological team was infected with this virus except for me, and I locked all the people infected with the virus on the second floor of this army barracks, so that they could fend for themselves!" Even Xiao Zhou, you are the same! But I didn't expect you to live so long, but now it seems that you are no different from those dead people, and before long you will be gone, and you will not even be able to find the corpses. ”
