Chapter 158: Slate
The ruins of the city are filled with the fresh smell of nature.
Crumbling buildings, dilapidated shops, and scrapped cars lining the streets, the city looks like it has been abandoned by humans.
But in this abandoned world, Qu Yuanxin saw a stone slab erected in the city.
The slate is nearly three meters high, and it is engraved with incomprehensible characters, Qu Yuanxin is sure that this kind of writing does not belong to any country, because the translation software in the mobile phone has no clue about this kind of writing.
"How is it, can you understand?" Qu Yuanxin stood beside Imiya, in this team, this woman's combat ability is definitely not outstanding, but her sticky note paper mask can play an incredible role in many fields.
"Brother Qu, wait a minute, this will take time. "The sticky notes have been pasted on Imia's own body, and now, in fact, she herself does not know if she can decipher the words, but if the sticky notes can make an airplane invisible, why can't a person understand a new language in an instant?
The fat man and the others scattered in all directions, observing the situation around them.
They found that there were many corpses in the city, and some of the corpses even had traces of animal hoarseness, just like a raging corpse wilderness that attracted some wild animals to eat their bodies.
Zhang Chao frowned, pointed to a corpse not far away and said, "Don't you think it's strange when you come to take a look?"
Luo and Fang walked briskly, squinted their eyes and glanced at the corpses not far away, puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"
"The city looks like it's been abandoned for a long time, years, decades, maybe even decades, of course, I don't know much about that, so I can't speculate at random, but one thing I know for sure is that corpses don't last long when exposed to the air. ”
Luo and Fang were not afraid of the terrifying appearance of the corpses, nor did they deliberately think about the tragic situation of these people before they died, so in the face of these corpses, there was no pressure at all, and they could step forward to take a closer look, and then said solemnly: "What you said is right, there is no sign of decay at all, just like a dried corpse or a mummy." ”
"And. Zhang Chao pointed to a corpse that seemed to have been torn and torn apart by a wild beast not far away, and said: "Look at this old man, there are still sharp teeth marks of the beast on his body, but it is very strange, all his parts are not missing, we can even piece them together, I want to ask, if the beast comes here, how can it just bite the corpse and not eat this easy food?"
Wang Meng smiled at this time, and said heartlessly: "Maybe he stinks, he hasn't taken a bath for a few years, and he has diarrhea after eating, haha." ”
Zhang Chao shook his head lightly: "This corpse is too stinky for a beast to eat him, just if you are right, then in the whole city, so many corpses have not been eaten by beasts, don't you think it's strange?"
"You say that......" Wang Meng fell into deep thought.
Zhang Chao was observant, pointed around and said loudly: "A city, it can't be only such a few people, I think, these people may have gone to take refuge, and some other people have encountered some dangers, plus we have been attacked by some extremely aggressive microorganisms after coming to this world......"
The fat man exclaimed, "You mean to say that these people are killed by microorganisms?"
"I'm afraid the city has become like this, and it's probably because of these microbes. Luo and Fang became more and more curious, what happened in this city?
At this time, Imia finally reacted, and she exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
Qu Yuanxin was beside her, so she was the first to ask, "Has there been any progress?"
"The sticky notes have come into play, and I can already read the content on this slate one after another, just like Brother Qu you think, this slate records some things in this city. ”
Everyone immediately gathered around, waiting for Imia's explanation like a curious baby.
Imiya stared at the words on the slate, observed, studied carefully, and she said slowly: "Some words can already be deciphered, according to the complexity of the text, the procedures that can be interpreted are also different, for example, the first sentence, I haven't understood it yet, but in the middle part, there are a few words that I can already understand." ”
"Is there a complete sentence that can be read?" Qu Yuanxin asked suspiciously.
"Yes, one last sentence. ”
"What did you say in the last sentence?" the fat man trembled and trembled as his stomach circled around the slate twice.
Imia's voice, as she read this passage, revealed a hint of vicissitudes: "If you are looking for us, please look around you, we are here." ”
"Huh?" Luo Hefang turned his head to look in all directions, and then sneered: "Isn't this nonsense, there are corpses all over the ground, aren't they around?"
"Nothing else valuable?" Wang Meng walked around the back of the slate, looking at the large slab that had sunk into the ground thoughtfully.
In this regard, Imia did not answer again, but began to study the words on it attentively, and after a while, she opened her mouth and said: "This is a temporary erected stone slab, just like Brother Qu thought before, it was deliberately done by someone, in order to let future generations know what happened here." ”
Qu Yuan Shinichi stretched out his hand and motioned to the people around him to be quiet and not to interrupt Imia's words.
Imia continued: "The city used to be very prosperous, but I don't know when the number of missing people increased, and finally, there was a strange incident where an entire building disappeared overnight. ”
Everyone remained silent, except for the rustling of the cold wind on the ground grit.
Imia: "These missing people, all the clothes are left in the same place, but all the people are gone, hey......"
"What's wrong?"
"How does this sound a bit like some of the things we encountered in the dog country, no, no, some different, the passengers we met in the dog country can put us in his suitcase, and in the suitcase, you can copy the real world to create a model, but humans can't copy it, so when we enter the world of his suitcase, we only have people's clothes, and we can't see people's bodies. ”
"Foreign passengers?" Luo and Fang heard this, and began to think about their chances of winning against this person.
Imia continued: "But there is something different here, this is not a world in a suitcase, but a place that resembles the real world. ”
As she read deeper, gradually, drops of sweat began to ooze from her forehead.
"How's it going?" Qu Yuanxin was a little anxious even if he had excellent patience.
"Microorganisms. As soon as Imiya said two words, the fat man nodded and shouted: "As I thought, this city is destroyed by microorganisms, viruses, which microorganisms do you refer to?"
"Nope. Imia read faster and faster, and when she had read all the words, she focused her eyes on the last sentence, and she stepped forward and gently stroked the last text, her eyes wide and frightened.
"Speak, woman!" Luo and Fang shouted.
"It's true that it's microbes, but it's not actually microbes that are destroying the city, it's ...... Humanity itself?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Aiming at the stone slabs, Imia shouted: "As people disappear one after another, microorganisms begin to appear one after another, and this microorganism attacks humans, and then, human beings disappear, human beings continue to disappear, and the number of microorganisms continues to increase. ”
Luo and Fang: "I understand, what you mean is that microorganisms kill humans and reproduce more and more!"
"No......" Imiah pointed to the last line of words on the stone tablet, and said word by word: "These people have become microorganisms, microorganisms, they are people!"
"What !?"
"As the slate says, research shows that after these people become microorganisms, they will be extremely aggressive, they will attack humans, and after infecting and killing humans, they will make the killed humans become new microorganisms, and their bodies will continue to grow and grow into new humans!"
"New humans, you say!?"
After Qu Yuanxin made a judgment, he said solemnly: "The so-called extremely aggressive is actually human nature, right? ”
"Kill 10,000, kill 100 million, kill 1 billion people, and restore one person to the original appearance of mankind?" Wang Meng really hoped that his idea was wrong.
But from the eyes of everyone, he felt that he seemed to have guessed correctly......
