Chapter 523: Danger
readx;? Song Zheng's team, which was back on the road, became a little silent, and many people were thinking while walking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone's mind is definitely different, after all, everyone knows different information.
Song Zheng can see this, but he will not say everything he knows in order to unify his thoughts, as long as everyone will not part ways because of different ideas, then when there are more and more clues, everyone's thinking will still fall on one point after all.
After all, everyone's needs are to leave this forest.
Lang Dayan is the simplest and most direct one among the team members, so when everyone neglected to observe the surrounding situation because of thinking, he was the first to discover the abnormality.
"Have you noticed that the vegetation around here is not as lush as it used to be?"
Lang Dayan's words recalled everyone's minds and made everyone focus on the present again. Everyone immediately realized that he was right, and the surrounding vegetation was indeed not as lush as before.
Why is that?
Everyone immediately began to investigate, and there was even anticipation on the psychological side. Because anomalies also mean new discoveries, and new discoveries may implicate new clues, and the more clues you have, the more you know about the forest, the closer you are to finding a way out.
Wei Xiaobao was the first to discover the clues.
"Look at the soil here! The smell is wrong, and the color is different from the other side, could it be the soil?"
He was holding a handful of soil in his hand, which looked black and red, which was indeed a little different from the previous black and yellow, and at the same time, the soil also emitted a pungent smell, which was very suspicious.
"It smelled like corpse stench mixed with something, and it smelled weird and bad. Lupin leaned in and sniffed the smell of the soil with his nose.
The others sniffed separately and nodded in agreement with his judgment.
Song Zheng pondered: "It shouldn't be the natural smell of the soil, maybe it's polluted by something, let's look for it!"
Separate from each other and search carefully in different directions.
The first to make the discovery was Rupin.
There he shouted, "There is a discovery!
Song Zheng and the others leaned over and found that a leg was sticking out of the grass.
Looking at each other's teammates, Song Zheng asked the team members to get out of the way, he didn't get closer, stretched out a finger, shot out a chain from the fingertip, quickly wrapped around the ankle of that leg, and then pulled it out violently.
"Ahh
A leg belonging to a human was pulled out.
It's a pity that there is only that one leg.
The torso above the thigh is completely gone, and even the only leg that remains is rotten and pitted in the eyes.
The unpleasant smell came to the face, and everyone covered their noses and retreated, only Lu Ping frowned and sniffed, and said categorically: "It's very similar to the taste of the soil!"
Only then did everyone put down their hands in front of their noses and distinguish the smell.
It was soon determined that Lu Ping was right, the smell on human legs was very similar to the smell in the soil. But it's more intense, it's more pronounced, and of course it's more unpleasant.
"Could it be that the soil is polluted by this leg, and the vegetation can't grow well on the contaminated soil?" Wei Xiaobao speculated.
"One leg isn't that powerful. Song Zheng questioned.
Wei Xiaobao thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's not just this leg, maybe there are more corpses!"
This speculation made everyone frown together.
If the speculation is true, that's not a good thing.
However, Song Zheng suddenly said: "Look at this leg, it doesn't seem to be naturally rotten!"
He also casually let his gaze drift over the human legs, and saw those potholes, which he hadn't paid attention to before, but now he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he had such suspicions.
Then the more I look at it, the more I look like it, and I always feel the potholes on the human legs, like after being poured sulfuric acid.
Others hurriedly took a closer look and then came to the same conclusion.
"It's not natural decay, it's probably a scar from something! Maybe it's concentrated sulfuric acid, or something corrosive. Wei Xiaobao said.
"Could it be that kind of thing, the real culprit that pollutes the soil?" Lupin speculated.
"That makes sense! Muscle decay alone will never make the soil worse!" Wei Xiaobao agreed.
"Then let's continue to search and see if we will find more clues!" Song Zheng then ordered.
The squad members dispersed again, exploring from all directions.
Soon, cries of discovery were heard from all directions.
Finally, after a simple count, everyone's faces became not very good-looking.
From five directions, they searched a radius of two hundred meters, and the result was that in such a large place, they directly found more than a dozen corpses!
Of course, each corpse is not complete, most of it has completely disappeared, and it is not known whether it was completely decomposed or corroded when it was corroded.
Judging by the remaining severed arms and stumps, they do not belong to a few people, but to a dozen different people.
And judging from the clothing and muscle fibers left behind, there were hunters and zombies among the dozen or so corpses.
There are even survivors mixed in.
In other words, what corrupted them did not belong to any of them at all, and was a completely indiscriminate attack.
This is surprising.
What is corrupted by them, and who is corrupting them?
"What now?" the team members looked at their captain.
Song Zheng thought for a while and said: "I can only continue to search, the corpses cannot be distributed in a circle, find the farthest place of the corpses, and then go in that direction, maybe there will be clues." ”
As he instructed, the group began to search again, and soon found new clues.
There are also traces of corrosion on the plant, but it is not obvious, and it should be rubbed on it unintentionally, rather than deliberately splashed with corrosive agents.
For those corroded corpses, Song Zheng and the others got together to light a fire, and as for the soil that had been corroded, they could do nothing but see if the self-purification of the forest could resolve their crisis.
Follow the traces of corrosion on the plants, and along the way, they will find corrupted creatures one after another.
Among them are hunters, zombies, biochemical beasts, and wild critters.
The more he saw it, the more he frowned, Song Zheng felt as if there was such a corrosive thing constantly walking, and whatever he saw in the process of walking corroded, as long as it was an animal, he couldn't escape its poisonous hands.
If the other party is a mutated creature, it's okay to say, but if it's an intelligent life, I'm afraid it's a big trouble.
