The monkey's symptoms are completely large-scale frostbite that can only occur in extreme cold of tens of degrees below zero. At first, the flesh and skin are torn apart, and the muscles and skin on the body are peeled off, and the nerve tissue underneath gradually turns black from red.

The monkey lay on the ground, unable to move, and its throat was almost hoarse because it had been howling in pain. The sound, as if it had been suffocated in a stuffy jar, was not human at all, and sounded like a wailing beast.

Almost everyone in the camp gathered around the tent, and no one spoke. Several doctors on the team shook their heads, all of them saying that they were helpless. Dr. Chen wiped his glasses, hesitated for a long time, and said, "If you can, let him go." ”

The meaning of "walking" is naturally death.

But we are now a civilized society, and no one has the right to decide the life and death of a person, even if the person is terminally ill and tormented.

Yao Bing was silent, picked up a military shovel, and walked into the tent step by step. After a while, the monkey's wailing came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at each other, apparently knowing what had happened.

Wang Xiaoyu held my arm tightly, her forehead resting on my shoulder, and she trembled.

Yang Muyun looked at everyone and said: "The monkey was infected with an unknown virus during the expedition and has died of high fever. ”

The crowd did not speak. Yang Muyun's words are a summary statement, clearly telling everyone the cause of the monkey's death, and unifying the voice in the future.

Yao Bing came out of the tent and smashed the four corners of the tent with a military shovel, but the tent had no support and collapsed abruptly, wrapping the monkey underneath. He took gasoline and poured it on the tent, and the whole process was silent, and everyone watched in silence.

Yao Bing took out a lighter, motioned for everyone to step back, and then lit it and threw it. I only heard a snort, and saw the whole tent flames rushing up, quickly wandering and spreading on the tent surface, and after a while, it was engulfed by the flames, and for a time the flames soared into the sky, and a heat wave rushed to the face.

Everyone tacitly accepted this treatment, and the cause of the monkey's death was unknown, and the fire was burned on the spot was arguably the wisest choice. Despite this, I still don't feel very comfortable. Just a few hours ago, the monkeys, which were still alive and talking, turned into a pile of dry bones in the blink of an eye, and life and death seemed to exist in this fire.

The fire burned for more than 20 minutes, and no one left the whole process, and everyone stopped in place and watched quietly. There was a strong smell of burnt food wafting through the air, which was very unpleasant. After waiting for a while, the ground burned into a black mess, which looked like charcoal, and a lot of sticky sticky.

Yao Bing used a military shovel a few times in the past, and then beckoned a few people to come over. They put the stuff in a piece of plastic sheeting, dug a deep pit on the spot, and buried it in it.

At this time, someone hurriedly came over and said a few words in Yang Muyun's ear. Yang Muyun's face changed suddenly, and he beckoned Yao Bing, Dr. Chen, and me to a tent.

There is a person lying in this tent, who is one of Yang Muyun's two personal bodyguards, I don't know what his full name is, I have heard Yang Muyun call him Xiaolin.

Kobayashi's face was flushed, as if he had a high fever, he had a wet towel on his head, and his lips were chapped. His face was very ugly, but when he saw Yang Muyun coming, he forced out a little smile, this person has a strong willpower.

Kobayashi said, "I seem to be infected. ”

Yang Muyun's expression became very terrifying, he was trying his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? ”

Kobayashi said, "While taking care of the monkey, a reptile came out of him and got into my body. ”

"How so?" We were stunned.

The monkey was infected by something like a reptile on the dried corpses under the base. At that time, we all saw that it was a slender and long one, and before we could see what it was, it burrowed into the monkey's body.

Now Kobayashi has been infected by this thing again.

Several people present subconsciously took a step back. I'm so scared, this thing is so wicked, it's just rotten. After being infected, he first had a high fever, then a ghost, and finally froze to death, which was simply unimaginably torture.

"Tell me more about what happened at the time?" Yang Muyun asked.

Xiao Lin's appearance was already burned a little confused, he was still trying to support, coughed twice and said: "At that time, there were only two people in the tent, me and the monkey, and he suddenly woke up." I asked him how he felt, and he said he had a dream. I asked him what his dream was, and he said he had a dream about death, and he dreamed that he was in the underworld. Then ......"

"And then?" Yao Bing asked eagerly.

"He asked me if I wanted to hear this dream, this story. I saw that his mental state had just improved, and I didn't want to hit him, so I let him speak...... He told a story about Hades. ”

Xiao Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at us: "Do you want to listen to this story?" ”

We were completely stunned, Xiao Lin didn't match the words before and after, and at first it sounded like that, but later he actually wanted to tell us a story, which was child's play. Is he burnt out?

Yao Bing reacted quickly: "You have a good rest." Then he gave us a look and we got out of the tent.

Yang Muyun had nowhere to vent his anger: "What the hell is going on?" Why is it so evil? ”

Yao Bing touched his face: "The first task now is to find the tape." There may be all the secrets we need to know out there. ”

"The base is so big, where can I find it?" I asked.

Yao Bing pondered: "I know a place, Liu Yang, do you remember the apothecary room where the head of the water department was found?" ”

I nodded.

Yao Bing said: "It is not by chance that the head of the water department appeared there, and it is likely that there will be some hidden information hidden there. ”

"It's getting late, I'm tired enough to toss this day, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Yang Muyun waved his hand.

It's been so much on this day, and my nerves have been severely tested. Wang Xiaoyu and I went to her tent, and Zhong Xiu avoided it very discerningly, unlike Liu Xiaojun on my side, with a kilowatt light bulb.

I told Wang Xiaoyu everything that happened after entering the valley. The girl listened very carefully, attentively throughout the whole process, and was a very good listener.

When I finished, my mouth was dry and I opened a bottle of mineral water to drink. Wang Xiaoyu took my hand, I looked at the girl, and mustered up the courage to touch her face: "Xiaoyu, let me ask you a question." ”

She saw that I was so serious, and quickly nodded: "You ask." ”

"What would you do if one day, I was no longer in this world?"

Hearing this question, Wang Xiaoyu grabbed me and stared at me with her eyes firmly on me. For a long time, there was no talk.

I smiled and patted her forehead. This question is indeed a bit redundant, and the relationship between men and women does not need to be so straightforward, nor does it need to be so aggressive. This is not the feudal era, life and death or something. I'm gone, she can still find someone else, just live well.

"If you're gone, I'll go with you." Wang Xiaoyu said.

I didn't expect her to say that, I felt a little moved, and a little gloomy and depressed. I looked out of the tent and said, "I have a feeling that one day I will follow in Li Yang's footsteps and find that new world." I didn't want to, but I could feel that it was my ultimate destiny. Xiaoyu, you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you follow your heart and don't force it. Remember what you said, live in the moment, no matter what the situation is. ”

Wang Xiaoyu was a little bored, and snorted angrily: "You don't have to worry about my business." ”

In the evening, I returned to the tent, where Liu Xiaojun was still meditating. I ignored him and went to bed. I had no dreams all night, and when I got up in the morning, I heard others say that Boss Yao had already left the base.

I knew he was going down to find the tape. I breathed a sigh of relief that I wasn't needed this time. After a rare day off, I wandered around the camp and unknowingly came to Kobayashi's tent.

I don't know what to think, I actually lifted the curtain and got in.

Now Xiaolin has become a forbidden area, except for the doctor who came to take a look at him, no one else came, leaving him to fend for himself. At this time, Xiao Lin was lying in his sleeping bag, unconscious, with a shallow moan in his throat all the time, and his lips were very dry.

Seeing his appearance, I was moved with compassion, took a bottle of water, twisted the lid, and tried to moisten his mouth. At this time, Xiao Lin suddenly made a voice, as if he was saying something.

I listened for a while, and I couldn't figure out what to do, and suddenly somehow, I felt creepy.

Xiao Lin slowly opened his eyes and called my name weakly: "Liu Yang." ”

I hummed, a little regretful coming in.

"I have a story about the underworld, would you like to hear it?" Kobayashi said.
