Chapter 43: The Hive Worm

The crowd continued down the gloomy corridor, and as the distance narrowed, the smell of what Ryrui described as dead man also entered our noses. As the smell grew stronger, the corridor beneath my feet suddenly came to an end. At the end are several stone steps, and when you go down the stone steps, you will find an open area in the center. The fog in this place was heavier, and it was extremely gloomy, and in the hazy fog, I saw a person on the ground in front of me.

Look at that figure, it seems to be a big man, anyway, it can't be my grandfather Chen Siyuan.

The man was dressed in yellow outdoor clothes, his feet twisted, and he fell to the ground in a strange position. The air was filled with the peculiar smell of rotting flesh, and I thought to myself: Is this the smell coming from him? Obviously, the man on the ground should also be a member of Grandpa's team, but he didn't know what happened and died here.

Tofu hissed, feeling strange, saying that this was more than ten years ago, the person in the side hall before was rotten into a skeleton, and all the smell dissipated, why did the corpse in front of him still exude such a strong smell, could it be that it had rotted for fourteen years? Tofu really gets to the point, and that's what's weird about things.

However, just standing in the distance, we can't see anything famous, at this moment, we have entered the S-shaped area on the map, everyone did not dare to be careless, cautiously moved forward, and soon came to the corpse. This is a terrible look, because this person is as Tofu said, not completely rotten, the exposed skin and flesh are like a balloon because of the flatulence of the corpse, purple and translucent, it is estimated that it can be broken by a pinch, exuding a foul smell, and there is a faint bulging lump in the crotch, eighty percent of which is the internal organs squeezed out of the anus after the corpse is flatulent.

When I walked in, the smell was gone, and the tofu was smoked and rolled his eyes, covering his mouth and retreating. I only felt an itchy throat and used a lot of self-control to keep my stomach from vomiting. In such an eerie environment, when he suddenly saw such a corpse, no one could calm down, so he heard Zhong Gong say: "What's the matter with this corpse, it has always remained in a state of decay?" ”

Tofu stood not far away, pointed to the corpse and said, "I won't touch him anyway, hey, do you want to search your body." He gestured with his eyes to the bulging pockets on the corpse, after all, the leader of the team this time was me, and the few people had no intention of starting, so I could only sigh, put on gloves, and began to search my body with my breath.

Because of the strange posture of the corpse, I had to turn him over first, but this time, something fell out of the corpse's pocket, and when I looked at it, I found that it was a piece of jade, exactly the same as the one found on the white bone before. When the corpse was turned over, it revealed a swollen and distorted face, with two eyeballs bulging outward, filled with purple-red bloodshots, almost out of the sockets, and happened to meet the half-kneeling me.

Although the corpse was swollen and deformed, its appearance was still faintly recognizable, it was about a middle-aged man in his forties, and he should have been very strong before his death, and when I reached out to dig into his pocket, a pair of eyes of the corpse turned violently.

Damn, I'm cheating.

I twitched my hand in shock, and was about to retreat, when I saw a flat, centipede-like bug crawling out from under each of his two eyes. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, probably because the insects crawled against their eyeballs, so the eyeballs suddenly turned, and it wasn't a scam at all.

After the two insects crawled out, they quickly crawled towards me, who was closest to me, they were only finger long, and although they didn't seem to be lethal, they had just come out of the corpse, which made them crawl on their bodies, and they couldn't be disgusted to death. I quickly stepped back, stomped both bugs under my feet, and then stomped hard.

Immediately afterwards, I moved my feet away, estimating that the two centipedes should have been trampled into meat sauce, who knew that as soon as my feet were released, I saw two black shadows crawling rapidly, swishing away from under my feet, I was shocked, and said what kind of insect is this, and I can't step on it? At this moment, Gu Da Mei was the closest to me, and as soon as the insect slipped away from under my feet, it rushed towards Gu Wenmin's feet, and the speed was many times faster than at the beginning, and it quickly went towards the top of Gu Da Meinu's head.

As soon as I thought that these two strange black worms that I didn't know what their names were crawling out of the corpse, I felt bad, and in a hurry, my gloved hand grabbed the fast-moving insects on Gu Da Beauty's body. Unfortunately, the two insects happened to crawl to Gu Wenmin's chest, and this time they grabbed it, Gu Wenmin exclaimed, anxious and ashamed, and his face turned red.

I hurriedly said, "I didn't mean to, I'm saving you." At this moment, I could feel those two strange insects in the palm of my hand, trying to find a chance to get out, I was shocked by their incredible speed, and said that this place is dangerous everywhere, these two insects can live for so long, there must be something strange, if you let go of them, I don't know what will happen, so I said to Tofu: "Get a bottle for me, you can't step on it, put it up first." ”

Tofu immediately vacated a medicine bottle, and we put the worms in it, leaving no gaps, and then observed through the transparent glass bottle. I finally know why I couldn't trample them to death before, because this bug is very flat and has a layer of fluff on its body, and anyone who knows that it is easy to trample a cockroach to death if it is on a flat ground, but it is very difficult for a cockroach to be trampled to death if it is on a soft sofa. The flattened body and fluff of these bugs are a form of protection against stress.

I am also well-informed, the animals in the mountains, all kinds of common snakes, insects, rats and ants, most of them can be named, but this insect can't see the history, however, in this world, there are too many new lives unknown to human beings, and I don't plan to dwell on this, so I threw the bottle to the tofu, and turned around to continue to touch the corpse.

At this moment, I suddenly found that the corpse's already swollen face was now swelling even more, like a balloon that was about to explode if it was inflated.

Zhen Rui yanked my arm and said sharply, "Stand back." As he spoke, he dragged me back a few steps, and the others reacted quickly, and at this moment, we were four or five meters away from the corpse, and the light of the headlamp gathered on the corpse, and it began to swell more and more in our eyes, and its face was stretched out with a strange expression, staring at us directly.

The skin of the corpse became more and more transparent, and then I realized that there was something like a tadpole swimming in its flesh.

Before I could figure out what it was, I heard a thud, and the corpse exploded in an instant, turning into a sky of scrap in our light. We didn't retreat far, so it was inevitable that it would be affected, and the person next to him, his hair was covered with minced meat, and his clothes were full of blood spots, not to mention the disgusting energy, I can imagine it myself.

Gu Wenmin hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face, no matter how strong her mind is, she can't stand this stimulation, which woman doesn't like to be clean, she is covered in human flesh, she didn't spit it out, it is already amazing. It was originally the place where the corpse was originally worn, but at this moment, only the clothes that the corpse was wearing were left, and the parts wrapped in the clothes were exploded, but the flesh did not fly out, so it still looked swollen, but at this moment, the mass of meat wrapped in the clothes was slowly wriggling.

In everyone's sight, a black mass of something exactly like the worm in the glass bottle quickly crawled out. They are much smaller than the insects in the glass bottle, but they are like ants, crowded and dense, and they instantly pour out of their nests and quickly crawl towards us.

It wasn't until this time that I realized that the little black dots surging in the flesh of the corpse were actually these things.

Zhen Rui seemed to remember something, and his expression changed and said: "It's not good, it's a corpse nest worm, run!" ”

As soon as I heard him say this name, I had a sudden feeling in my heart, corpse nest worm, I once heard Lu Su say that as soon as this thing gets touched by human flesh, it will crawl into human flesh and flesh to reproduce, until the flesh inside the human being is eaten up, leaving only the skeleton and a layer of skin on the outside. I grabbed the two big ones before, and I wore gloves on my hands, so I was fine. Fortunately, Gu Wenmin was wearing hiking boots with leggings, and there was no bare skin on the lower half of his body, otherwise he would have suffered at that time.

The corpse nest worm, as the name suggests, is a kind of insect that uses the corpse as a nest, and their excrement is a natural antiseptic that can make the skin outside the corpse never decay, so the corpse will stay at the moment of decay, presumably not long after death, it will be burrowed into the body by the corpse nest worm to build a nest.

Everyone was knowledgeable, and as soon as they heard that this was a rare corpse nest worm, they all ran forward in fright, and while running, Tofu said: "Oh mom, these insects are too fast, no, we have to find a way to attack them with fire and burn them to death." "We ran wildly all the way, and there was no chance to stop at all, and even if we wanted to attack with fire, we couldn't spare our hands to get fuel.

Everyone just ran forward, did not pay attention to the direction for a while, ran not for a long time, then felt that the fog in front of them was thicker, and looked closely, but saw a huge three-legged round tripod appeared in front of him, which was five or six meters high, and there was white mist inside, as if boiling water was boiling in the ding.

What is this?

The big ding, which was steaming with white gas in front of him, was really weird, but he didn't have time to think so much at this time, the insects behind him were very fast, and if he was one step slower, he would have to be caught up. As I ran, I turned my head to look, and saw that the ground behind me was densely packed with 'tadpoles', and once these 'tadpoles' burrowed into the human body, they would reproduce more 'tadpoles', and my scalp was numb just thinking about it.

Looking at the five or six meters tall tripod in front of me, and looking at the white smoke coming out of it, I suddenly had an idea, and immediately ran and shouted: "Everyone climb up the tripod." ”

Tofu said, "What? Crawl? I'm about to be caught up when I run, and I'm still climbing? ”
