At the time of departure, we were seventy-two, and now, there are only fifty-six, and sixteen less, plus the eight who were missing before, there are already twenty-four.

I hurriedly turned around to count my team, and I found that there was no one in my team, and the few were the ones who went north.

Don't...... Beasts to the north? Or did a man-eating python suddenly appear?

When I was in the Amazon before, I used to see the giant python, which was lazily coiled on the fork of a large tree, rarely moving, as if it was dead, but sometimes, when an animal passed under the tree, it would be faster than the African leopard, instantly from top to bottom, entangled the prey, and then ate it.

It's all done in silence, isn't it...... In this oasis, there are also man-eating pythons?

I'm ashamed of my thoughts, it's so unprofessional, with the living environment of this oasis, it is impossible to breed a creature like a giant python, so, what is going on.

Damn, God, are they really lost?

Kara was having a heated discussion, but I couldn't understand it, and even if I had an idea, I couldn't express it, and besides, I didn't have any idea at all.

Then more than fifty people fell silent in the open space where they had assembled, and at last the old man knelt down towards the west, and immediately everyone knelt as if they were praying for something.

I also prayed, I don't know what they enveloped, but I believe that God will bless the good people.

Almost two-thirds of the night had passed, but because things were so strange that the old man did not organize people to look for them overnight, I guess they were prepared to wait until dawn.

Sure enough, at dawn people gathered in the clearing, and since the people were missing in the northern area, this time, we all began to look like the north.

Soon after we walked into the north, a shocking scene appeared, the originally beautiful scorched forest was overgrown with a kind of vine-like plant, which seemed to grow overnight, tangled on the traveler's banana, all over the land, like huge spider webs.

I couldn't help but shudder.

Why, why are there these things here, are we bringing them out?

It's something that only exists in that place, and why is it on this oasis?

Suddenly, I remembered Peter's words, and while in the desert, he pointed to his chest and said, "There is a devil who has come out with us, and it is in ...... Over here. "Could it be that these things are...... Is it with Peter, or with me......

At this moment, for some reason, the vines suddenly trembled, which was a precursor to their predation, and I was almost trembling all over, and immediately screamed: "Run, run!" But they didn't seem to understand my German, and they just stared at the vines, as if they couldn't figure out why these things were suddenly moving.

At first, we were in that place, almost eaten by these things, we always thought it was the devil, and later the mentor found out that it was a terrible parasitic plant, and strictly when it came, it was a combination of insects and plants that humans had not yet discovered.

I don't know much about this plant, which is somewhat similar to Cordyceps endemic to the Tibetan Plateau in China, but it is said that the plant called Cordyceps is formed after insects and plants grow together, and it has a miraculous medicinal effect.

And this kind of vine is the same, in the part where they are tightly connected to the land, parasitic insects like locusts, nine-tenths of their bodies are hidden in the vines, only the position of the mouthparts is slightly exposed, think about the small bumps on the vines, this kind of insects, relying on the collective strength, use the muscles of the mouthparts to push the vines to move, so that the people are wrapped and eaten.

This vine grows very fast, and its strong reproductive function makes it need a lot of nutrients, and these insects exist for it to absorb nutrients, which is a terrible parasitic relationship, compared to Cordyceps, it is much more terrifying, I finished yelling, seeing that they had not reacted, I immediately pushed Kara behind me, pushed her back, and then yelled: "Quick, run, go back." "No one understood what I was saying, and when the vines attacked the first and most advanced old man, everyone finally understood, and their faces were horrified.

But their first reaction was not to run for their lives, but to rush forward, in a vain attempt to save the old man.

It's simply impossible, and no one understands better than me the horror of these vines, the appetite for these things, like a bottomless pit, will never be satisfied, and as much as you come, you will eat as much as you want.

I didn't have time to stop them, and soon, there were screams in the woods, the population of the entire oasis was here, if we were having a big meal, the vines around were shaking wildly, and no one thought of saving people at the moment, we tried to run back, but those things ate people, and they grew faster and even rose in front of us, and at this moment, Kara next to me suddenly screamed, and then, as soon as my hand was loosened, Kara was hung upside down by a vine, and soon, more vines were wrapped around her feetBlood poured down on my head like water.

I was completely insane. This demonic vine has already taken the life of my partner, why should it take my lover.

Carla was dropped so high that I couldn't reach her, and she kept screaming and waving her hands trying to get me to catch her, but the distance between us, three or four meters, was enough to make it impossible for me to get up anyway.

I only had a dagger on me, and I pulled it out and went crazy to cut down a thick main vine, but my strength was too weak, and in the end, I never wanted to remember that scene again.

Carla...... Kara, gradually wrapped in vines, not at all, like a chrysalis, hung upside down from a tree, and after a few moments, a skeleton with flesh and blood fell down, and I felt sick to my stomach.

All around them were the screams of people, all trying to find a way out, running in all directions, without any weapons on their bodies, like birds in a cage, and soon, the sound became less and less, and a smell of death permeated the forest.

Finally, vines wrapped around my feet, and at that moment, like crazy, I thought that Carla had brought me a bottle of wine before leaving, and I laughed maniacally, poured the wine on the vines, and lit a fire.

Rumble!

The pale blue flames burst open.

Nothing is not afraid of fire, even hard earth and stones will be burned, these vines really flinched, I wanted to go to Kara, but found that in the sea of fire, there was not even a single corpse, those bones that were eaten up, and finally all the vines pressed into the soil, perhaps, I am standing on their bodies at the moment.

The fire grew louder and bigger, many of the vines were scorched, and in the air, a kind of rustling cry could be heard, somewhat miserable, which was the sound of thousands of insects being burned again.

I stood in the middle of the fire, tears streaming down my face, until it was getting hotter and hotter, and my hair was curling up, and I knew that I had to go, that someone had to live, that these plants were very vigorous, and that one day, it would grow out of the desert and grow all over the world, and someone had to stop it.

Yes, it has to be stopped, I want to live, I have to tell the Chinese government about this, they will have a way.

I started stumbling and running away, Kara, Kara, and the others, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, I swear, I'll come back, I'll definitely come back. I ran like crazy, and the vines twitched like crazy, and at last the flames brought up by the alcohol were quickly extinguished, for the vines were hard to burn, and then I heard even more terrible sounds, and when I turned around, the vines were pouring towards me, and they were about to take revenge.

As I kept running, my soul seemed to be detached, and then I noticed a very thick vine appear in front of me, and under the root of that vine fell a man, and that man was Peter, and the root of the vine grew out of his chest.

"No ......"

I yelled, but only I could hear the sound, and at that moment, I completely collapsed, my body just reflexively running, but completely lost my direction, and finally, I unconsciously ran into this cactus herd.

They didn't come in, but squatted around the perimeter, perhaps, the insects were afraid of the smell of cacti.

I hid inside, I don't know how long, before I gradually regained my senses.

I could no longer hear the voice of a single person, I was the only one left in heaven and earth, and I did not dare to go out in this mutated oasis, because at night, it seemed that many ghosts were shaking in front of my eyes. And in the daytime, the vines began to go berserk, and I heard the shrill cries of the birds, and before long everything that was living in this oasis was devoured.

I hid in the cactus, I didn't feel the pain anymore, and when the night came, there were ghosts everywhere, and the people in the oasis seemed to come to life, walking through the cacti to me, and their kind smiling faces, as if they had been eaten by something, turned into minced meat, and then exposed the skeleton, and then the bloody skeleton was like I walked over.

I'm dying, I'm sure.

I couldn't get out again.

My sins are too great.

If it weren't for that damn black storm, we wouldn't have gone into the heart of the desert, we wouldn't have gone to that place.

All this, everything is arranged by the devil.

It's the devil.

No...... Someone has to stop this.

It is important to remember that they are afraid of cacti and should be planted in all parts of the oasis......

No...... Don't go there, don't go into that city.

Dr. Zhang translated here, the diary had come to an end, and finally, she pointed to the inscription and slowly closed her eyes, which was a German name, the name was: >

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind me, saying, "Obediently, this is watching an American adventure movie." "It's the fat man, this guy woke up at some point, and he stood behind us with his knees propped up, and I didn't even notice it.

Dr. Zhang sighed, opened his eyes, and said, "This is the partner who was with my mentor back then, but I didn't expect them to escape too." ”

This diary is like an American adventure movie, as the fat man said, but when you actually read it, it makes people shudder, the people on that oasis are not relocated, but eaten alive by those parasites in the lonely desert during the day, and their bones are under the vines, perhaps, we have walked on it.

I took a deep breath and said, "In this diary, that place is mentioned repeatedly. ”

Dr. Zhang looked a little tired and muttered, "That's about the place we're looking for." ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "Are you going to continue?" ”

Dr. Zhang frowned, and only said after a while: "I will not be intimidated by a notebook, I only trust my eyes." After she finished speaking, she looked at me, I looked at the fat man, and then said: "I believe, but I will not give up, there is what you are looking for, and there is also what I am looking for." ”

Dr. Zhang smiled, she really looked good when she smiled, and then she went into the tent with her notebook.

The fat man patted me on the shoulder and said, "Look at your cowardice, everyone is gone." I kicked him and said, "Don't shoot all over the place." The fat man howled: "Damn, I'm the wounded number, can you lighten it, the wound on your back doesn't hurt?" Grandma's. Then the fat man said, "But what is the matter with the wild man?" ”

I said, "I'm not a relative, how do I know?" ”

The fat man shuddered, glanced me up and down, and said, "I think you look like a relative." Seeing that I was going to be furious, he hurriedly said: "Sleep, sleep, I have to hurry tomorrow." He said and slipped into the tent.

I took the last bite of the Yellow Crane Tower, and I also got into it, and I didn't say anything all night.
