Chapter 170: Vigil

"I've heard a few things about corpse fog, in fact, there are many such examples in nature, such as locust plagues that don't leave an inch of grass in their crossings, and some man-eating ants in Brazil that migrate and even elephants can gnaw into bones in an instant, and even some piranhas in rivers can digest herds of buffalo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the eyes of the ancients, these things may be similar to what we feel now. Professor Yu sat across from us with two trekking poles and reached for the fire.

It is an indisputable fact that Western scientific research has only passed for hundreds of years, and human society has just come out of the stage of ignorance, and I know that we know very little, so I quietly wait for Professor Yu to solve our doubts.

Professor Yu thought for a while, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's really unexplainable, all along, there are indeed many unsolved mysteries that have puzzled us, and even the country. Many supernatural phenomena are just relatively rare, and the ancients did not understand why meteorites fell in the sky, similar to the situation we are in now. However, our task is to understand as much as possible, to know as much as possible, which is the responsibility of a small number of us and the inevitable process of our human progress. ”

Naturally, I have heard this remark more than once at the study meeting of the bureau, but today, I have a new breakthrough in my understanding of this matter, and I faintly feel a sense of belonging to an organization like 374.

When Columbus discovered the New World, there had to be someone willing to be a crab eater.

However, this remark is still a bit heavy after all, there are thousands of people who explore the unknown, but Columbus has only one.

Seeing that the two of us didn't speak, Professor Yu sighed and said, "Actually, Lao Fang and I came here. There is no intention of getting out alive. Although I didn't see the parasitic cordyceps with my own eyes this time, I was sure that it existed. If this kind of thing spreads, I'm afraid the end of the world is not far from us. ”

Lu Xiaobu and I are both parasitized by this cordyceps. Naturally, we know the danger of this matter, if we bring this kind of ghost king tree seedlings home, it will really cause a scene that only exists in zombie blockbusters.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little silent, Professor Yu's words were tantamount to ruining the lives of all of us here. After all, without research, we don't know whether this kind of thing has an incubation period or not, and whether it spreads in the same way as Cordyceps.

However, I have heard that Lao Mei is very interested in this zombie grass that is known as the natural world, and secretly did a lot of rumors about biochemical experiments on it. If this thing is obtained by some people with ulterior motives, the consequences may indeed be the same as Professor Yu imagined.

"You don't have to worry, you and Lu Xiaobu's bodies have already done a preliminary examination, and I won't hide it from you, you should be a blessing in disguise this time." Professor Yu said with a smile.

"You already have an extremely powerful parasitic toxin in your body before, that is, the poison of the soul mother in the lake of Mabing Zara, although this parasitic toxin corrodes the whole body of the person, but the incubation stage is relatively mild, and it will only continue to replace the cells in your body and become a part of your body. It is not until you are completely crystallized, that is, it has taken over all the cells in your body, that it will completely turn back on you. ”

"And this kind of ghost king grass doesn't have that good patience. If the poison of the soul mother is a parasitic form of colonization, then the ghost king grass is plundering and usurping. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Not to mention these two violent parasitic poisons. Professor Yu said firmly.

"Then maybe what if these two poisons are one male and one female?" Behind us came Lu Xiaobu's voice.

I was directly annoyed by him, Lu Xiaobu, this guy is too bastard. As soon as he woke up, he began to mess around, so he scolded: "Go and go." Can the mouth be a little open, what is a male and a female......"

I'm not done yet. Lu Xiaobu glared at him and shouted: "Hey, why do you still look down on people when you are hungry, what is it called not guarding the door, what is it true that you are hungry, you see, one is called the soul mother, the other is called the ghost king, what is this not a family?" ”

When I heard this, I was speechless, and I didn't know what to say.

In fact, I know that what Professor Yu said is just a word of comfort, anyway, we may not be able to go out, and it doesn't matter if we can survive until the parasitic outbreak erupts, what matters is a thought, a comfort. This Lu Xiaobu is good, and in just a few words, the hope that the old professor has worked so hard to create has been extinguished.

Lu Xiaobu's rough lines are good, and after interjecting, he lay down and fell asleep, as if I was the only one who was parasitized, even if the end of the world had nothing to do with him.

Sometimes, I really envy Lu Xiaobu's type, he sleeps when he is full, and he has no heart and lungs.

In fact, seeing Lu Xiaobu like this, our hearts are also a little more relaxed, this is like a reassuring pill, if everyone is panicked, something will definitely happen, but with Lu Xiaobu's unstingy attitude, we can't help but think about him as a fart, the big deal is death, and the lives of grandfathers are really not so easy to collect.

After chatting for a while, I couldn't sleep anymore, after Professor Yu went back to sleep, Xu Dongqing and I talked about some things in the north and south, he talked about the adventures experienced in Kunlun Mountain, and I told us about our previous encounters in the tomb of the gods of the five directions, and both of them were amazed.

Xu Dongqing said: "Oh, I didn't expect that Brother Xiaoliang, you are not very old, but you have a lot of experience, before the Wang Bureau asked me to take care of you, just briefly introduced your situation, I didn't expect all kinds of experiences to be so incredible." ”

I rubbed my hot hands and asked with a smile, "Brother Xu, did you later understand the kind of flames that would fly to people?" ”

Xu Dongqing twisted his eyebrows and said: "Later, the opinions given by experts said that this may be a natural flame element, just like water and gasoline are both in liquid form, but the effects are completely different, this flame form is likely to be a mineral in the form of flame unknown to human beings." But I think it's more like a creature, a creature whose body temperature is so high. ”

I sighed and said, "It seems that the wisdom of the ancients really cannot be underestimated. ”

Xu Dongqing nodded approvingly, drank all the tasteless medicinal tea brewed in the cup and the medicinal residue into his mouth, chewed a few times and said, "I'll go put some water first, and I'll come over to replace you when I'm done." ”

I waved my hand to signal him to go quickly, and reminded him, "Don't go too far, if you have something, you should say something." ”

I lowered my head and was about to drop some more water to drink, when I suddenly heard a muffled snort coming from not far away, I thought it was his **** habit and didn't care at all, just asked: "Lao Xu?" I heard a response. ”

It turned out that there was no response!

I immediately stood up vigilantly and whispered, "Old Xu?!" Don't be kidding. "There was no sound at all, and I chuckled in my heart, and I didn't bother to put down the kettle, so I ran over with the kettle.

As soon as I ran to the corner, I smelled a fishy smell in the air, I flashed a flashlight to the ground, only to see a large puddle of stains on the ground, because the ground in the cave is black, so I can't see what it is, I kicked it with my toes, and suddenly found that it was not urine! It's a big pool of blood......
