418. Sudden accident

They walked over and saw clearly, the wall at the end of the hall was crawling with vines, according to the report given by the research center laboratory, it was a kind of "Slender Wrapper" that was mutated by artificial DNA modification, they don't eat people, they turn into people, anyone who walks into the attack range of the vines, they will be rolled up and then wrapped layer by layer and then even the belt bones are all turned into corpse water, in this process, their flowers and leaves play a purifying role, can purify the corpse water to the greatest extent and reach a degree of nutritional balance, The treated corpse water flowed into a shallow rectangular pool at the base of the wall, where it underwent complex changes before finally flowing through the set up canal to the white sand of the hall where various plants were planted.

Yes, that is, all those plants are irrigated with human corpse water, and there is evidence that the living have a higher nutritional value for them than the dead.

In terms of appearance, these vines and plants are no different from the "slender entangled Ji" described by Lou Mingjiang in front of the mountain, densely covered on the wall like a creeper, and it is impossible to see how thick it is. The leaves are oval, small, pointy at the tip, toothed at the edges, and dark green in color. Colorful flowers, the flowers are small and dense, lined in the leaves, like stars in the sky. The vine is black, and it climbs into the pool from top to bottom and then to the ground, and everywhere the flashlight shines, it is full of delicate tips, and it rolls and trembles slightly, and it seems that it will suddenly attack at any time and roll people in, which is really a little scary. Fortunately, Lou Mingjiang had already warned him, and this would be repeated instructions, so that no one dared to try his life with the audacity.

But even then they are not safe, because those things do not hunt exclusively by touch, they have an organ similar to thermal sensing, which can identify prey through very small differences in thermal energy in the surrounding air, and is very sensitive.

They stood in front of the huge wall and watched, seven or eight flashlights were swaying in the air, Li Xu twisted his face, and suddenly found that Lou Mingjiang's face changed greatly when he looked at the ground, and he looked at him, only to see that the dense vine tips spread on the ground were slowly squirming, and seemed to be stretching forward little by little, that is, to their feet.

At first, she thought it was a hallucination, but she suddenly heard Lou Mingjiang shouting "run" before she realized that it was true, and her body had already subconsciously turned around and ran crazy at any time Lou Mingjiang's command, and everyone ran with her, running straight to the center of the hall, that is, the place where Jane asked if she wanted to turn just now, she stopped and looked back, and her faces were pale and frightened, and they were all frightened.

Fortunately, there is no such crazy situation of being chased by plants that can only be seen in science fiction movies, otherwise they might all die in it.

Everyone bent over and held their knees to pant for breath, and ran a thrilling run in just a few tens of meters that they had never experienced in their lives. After making sure that it was safe, Lou Mingjiang took out the water and leaned his neck on his back, saying that he couldn't figure out how this thing could grow here. He said he had read in a magazine that the seeds could only germinate and grow in water around 3 degrees Celsius, but they had just measured the temperature in the chamber to around 26 degrees Celsius, and they couldn't figure out how they grew.

Li Xu also took out the water and drank it, and while drinking, he pointed to the top, and then to the wall in front of him, and said, "There is a locust forest above our heads, think about it, where the locust forest used to be." ”

Lou Mingjiang twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, raised his palm and slapped himself fiercely: "Oh, Lengshuitan." ”

The water in the pool next to Qiao Lanxiang's house in Chenjiawu is crystal clear, and it remains at 3-4 degrees Celsius all year round.

That's why those Slender Girls survived in the tomb.

At that time, they speculated that either the original tomb builders used the cold water pool that was originally there, or they specially built the pool in order to serve the Slender Wrapper, and then drained the cold spring in the mountains, and then fed the Slender Wrapper in the tomb in an elaborately designed irrigation method, and used the corpse water of the Slim Wrapper to irrigate the herbs in the tomb through the water that was turned into the corpse of the Slender Wrapper through the water channel attached to the wall.

This is part of what I call a "symbiotic system".

Fu Cheng was a Ph.D. in urban design and architectural design, and also studied the design and production of various structures in the Yoshiemon period in Japan, and he later made an ingenious model to prove that it was feasible to use a mountain spring as a living water source in a tomb.

What really made Li Xu feel frightened was not the plants that ate people, but the hidden power and purpose behind this tomb.

At that time, she already felt that something was wrong in many aspects, but she was in the tomb, and the cells of her whole body were concentrated on dealing with various dangers, and she didn't have time to think about it.

Ding Ping took advantage of Lin Qiliang's time when he was studying the drawings and plants, and pulled Li Xu outside the crowd and whispered a few words, in the process, Fu Yuxin stared at them deadly, making a preparation to attack at any time, for fear of what Ding Ping would do to Li Xu.

In fact, Ding Ping just reminded Li Xu to be careful of Lin Qiliang, because from the beginning of preparing to enter the tomb, to now going deep into the hinterland, it is Lou Mingjiang who is there to remind everyone to pay attention to this and that, but Lin Qiliang did not say a word, as a biologist with deeper qualifications than Lou Mingjiang, this is too illogical, the only explanation is that he just wants to save his own life and purpose, as for the life and death of others, whatever is fine, so even if he knows where there is danger, he will not remind, be careful.

Li Xu naturally understood this, she was even more vigilant and cautious than Ding Ping, so when she chose the door hole to set off to the next cemetery, she proposed to change the order, this time let He Zhiqin and Ding Ping go first, Lou Mingjiang and Lin Qiliang second, Liang Fatzi and Jianni in the back, and Li Xu and Fu Yuxin in the back.

She arranged it this way, firstly, to force Lin Qiliang in the middle, lest he suddenly get up and sneak away or suddenly do something unfavorable to others, and secondly, she left herself at the end to see if anyone was secretly following and spying on them, just now Ding Ping's constant looking back disturbed her, if Chen Jinziyu was really behind, it was better to find an opportunity to solve her first, so as not to cause endless trouble.

She thought as she adjusted the position of her backpack so that she could get the gun as quickly as possible if something unexpected happened. She has fought with Chen Jinziyu, and she knows that the other party is powerful, and if she fights hand-to-hand, she has no chance of winning, so she can only rely on guns.

She walked for a long time in the dark tomb road that turned around in the curve, and every time she passed a bend, Li Xu would take a step back to look at the place she had just turned around, although she didn't see anyone or a black shadow behind her, but she was very sure that Chen Jinziyu had been following and snooping on them not far away.

She really didn't expect it at the time, and it wasn't until later that she was shocked to understand that Chen Jinziyu was indeed following and snooping on them, and she was very, very close. The reason why Li Xu couldn't see it was because she didn't follow behind, but on it.

On top of the black tomb wall.

Li Xu glanced at Xiao Hai when he said this, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which means that at this point, you and that female ghost really have a fight, and they both like to stay on it.

The black walls of the tomb were about thirty centimeters wide and three meters high, and Chen Jinziyu was silently crawling on the walls like an animal, following and looking down from time to time. She was so agile, many times more agile than a monkey, that so many people, though more or less smelling the imminent breath, did not notice that danger was lurking on it.

Chen Jinziyu was in no hurry to attack, so they walked smoothly to Tomb C.

The layout of the C cemetery is almost the same as that of the A cemetery, the sarcophagus on both sides, the middle passage, at first glance, I thought it was a mistake and walked back to the A cemetery, and carefully looked at the number of door openings and the location to make sure that I was not mistaken, and determined that this is a new area.

Liang Fatzi has been familiar with the road, with the light of the flashlight to find the bowl-shaped fire opening of the lighting trough, and then took a few steps forward, to the first sarcophagus on the left six meters away, as before, strode forward, jumped up, tiptoed on the edge of the coffin and jumped up again, raised his hand, instantly lit the fire, the flame stretched all the way, and soon there were fires on all four walls, and the hall was bright with fire, becoming warm and safe.

But this time it wasn't as smooth as it had been.

Because Liang Fatzi suddenly had an accident.

Liang Fatzi's accident here really caught people off guard, so much so that even Li Xu screamed, that mood was like a giant ship hitting an iceberg, stunned and frightened, and couldn't figure out the situation.

What happened to him was completely unexpected.

He just repeated what he had done in Tomb A, stepping on the edge of the sarcophagus to light a fire, if something was going to happen, it should have happened in Tomb A, who would have thought that nothing had happened here before, no one was psychologically prepared, let alone prepared for action.

Everyone watched as the vines on the sarcophagus suddenly attacked, wrapping around Liang Fatzi's ankles, then calves and knees, then going up, and then his whole body was wrapped in greenery, and the more he struggled, the tighter he became, and soon he couldn't even speak, they lifted him up, turned the direction of his body, and dragged him into the sarcophagus.

A huge force, but without the slightest splash of water, is like a movie special effect with sound effects turned off.

The vines covering the corpse in the sarcophagus were like the hands of monsters, dragging Liang Fat Man in, and the speed was terrifying.

By the time everyone reacted and tried to save it, it was completely too late, and the accident happened so quickly that it was lightning fast. They ran over, ran to the nearest and safest place possible, and looked inside the sarcophagus, all dumbfounded.

Liang Fatzi's condition has deteriorated to the point that it is impossible to describe in words, and the green vines and plants that had been staying in the coffin are wrapping him layer by layer with crazy speed and amplitude, and the more and more they are wrapped, the tighter and tighter, and soon, even Liang Fatman's scalp is almost invisible.

He was completely engulfed by plants.
