Chapter 213: The End of the Cave
There was no light in sight of the dark passage, and with the thick rancid stench, Gao Jian and the others were still moving forward. ββι ββPointββSmallββ said,
"The burrow is getting bigger and bigger, and it can make adults walk upright, I don't think this burrow was dug by insects themselves?"
Gao Jian is also thinking about this problem: "The end of the world is only a few months away, and it takes a certain amount of time for insects to evolve and mutate. β
He touched the damp walls, on which there was also a smooth mucous membrane to hold the sand and gravel clods: "How long have we walked?"
Gao Jian suddenly asked a little inexplicable, but he still honestly felt his thoughts and replied: "It's more than twenty minutes." β
Walking around in the wormhole underground for more than twenty minutes, even if it is very slow, it is a long distance.
"With so many holes dug in the ground, the number of bugs is estimated to be terrifying. Gao Jian chose the road closest to the ground, but it was definitely not the safest road, and he didn't know what he would encounter in front of him.
The smell of rancid smell in the air seemed to be wrapped around the body, and the smell of death fermentation was unpleasant.
The cave was still expanding, and Gao Jian could already straighten his body without worrying about his head touching the rock wall above.
As the minutes ticked by, the smell of willow juice on them waned.
"There is no choice, it is a little more likely to survive if you leave early. Gao Jian didn't understand the words of cannibalism, but the early warning in his brain made him very uncomfortable, and the road ahead must be in great danger.
"Let's go. "The walls around the cave have fewer and thinner roots, changing from soft and damp earth to a mixture of earth and stone. It is estimated that only giant insects that are good at digging can walk through such places at will.
After walking for a while, there was a rustling sound in his ears again, and Gao Jian and the cannibals hurriedly pressed against the wall, holding their breath and concentrating.
A moment later, several giant insects came at them, snaking their bodies, sliding and rubbing their feet against the wall, each touch as if scratching their hearts, hoping that they would pass quickly.
These bugs crawl along the roof of the cave and the walls, leaving a trail of viscous liquid. It has a special smell and also strengthens the stability of the cave.
There were about seven or eight giant insects passing by Gao Jian, and when they climbed away, Gao Jian and the cannibals' faces were not very good-looking.
Seven or eight giant insects are no longer something they can deal with, and if they give it a go, it is likely that more giant insects will come after the smell before they can be dealt with.
"How many bugs are there in the hole?"
Gao Jian didn't know how to answer: "Usually there are as many parasites as there are in a big tree, then there will be many mutated giant insects here." β
The answer is cruel, but fortunately, the position of the little flower in my mind is becoming clearer, and it can be regarded as a little symbolic comfort.
The presence of the wind can already be clearly felt in the cave, and the cold air flow blows on the face, which is invigorating. But the growing rancid stench in the air disturbed the excited heart.
The red light in his eyes shone brightly, and he touched the stone wall, and Gao Jian and the others finally came to the end of this wormhole.
In front of me was an empty pitch black, like the night sky, and like the deep sea that the light could not reach.
The road is broken, and there is an abyss in front of it, which may be a naturally formed fault, or it may be a ground pressure difference caused by the construction of a barrage dam not far from J City to change the environment.
"What are you looking at?" Looking at the bottom of the valley, the cannibalistic heart seemed to freeze in an instant, shattering in the chest.
The abyss is not bottomless, and as far as the eye can see, it is a clogged underground river.
A pool of stagnant water was filled with the corpses of giant insects, and the stench of rancid flesh came from here.
The nodules of the willow tree are highly poisonous, and they themselves are at least the three stages of the suspension, and those substances that can cause damage to it are not something that these insects can bear.
That is, these bugs are raised by willow trees, which provide them with food, and that food is poison.
There were so many dead bodies that the river was stuffed, and the bottom of the valley was like a mountain of corpses.
In the last four months, the willow tree did not refuse, whether it was the nutrition in the underground soil or the energy in the flesh and blood. However, rapid growth will inevitably lead to the accumulation of the virus in the body and the occurrence of more terrifying mutations.
Just like the water monster in the sewer, even though his body is strong and has reached stage three, it is also terminally ill, and the virus uses his body as a warm bed, constantly breeding and multiplying.
It is also an evolution, but the appearance of the willow tree is as bright as jade, and the glow is like an emerald paradise, while the water monster is mottled and festering, and the appearance is ugly.
The energy left by the willow tree, the virus was taken away by the bugs, and the water monster used its own powerful body element zhì to resist.
The level of wisdom can be seen at a glance.
"What a cruel life. "The wisdom of the willow tree is a great wisdom, and if its evolution is not suppressed and valued at the beginning of the last days, it will become a strong contender for the king of the land in the future!
"Where should we go?" the cannibals were a little desperate, thinking that this was an exit, but they didn't expect that they were not connected to the outside world at all, only a thick darkness enveloped them.
"Climb up. Gao Jian pointed to the stone wall outside the cave: "Climb to the highest place, someone will answer us." β
Fingers touched the somewhat damp and soft rock wall, and the cannibal smiled bitterly: "You're crazy." β
"We don't have any protection, and we have a cripple with us, and if we get rid of it, it's a dead place. He stood back in the cave, "Besides, how can you be sure that someone will come to pick us up? Looking up there is no light, you don't want us to dig a way with our hands, do you?"
I thought it was hope, but the reality fought back ruthlessly.
This feeling of disparity makes it difficult to calm down the cannibalistic love.
"Someone will come and pick us up. Gao Jian looked at the rock wall and began to study the route to climb, and connected with the small flower in his mind, driving the corpses to dig down.
"The will to gluttony can be transmitted, and this place is no more than thirty meters above the ground. "Thinking about the route, Gao Jian naturally wouldn't risk his own life.
Hiding sideways in the cave and looking closely at the structure of the rock wall, this look turned out to be a surprising discovery.
The role of vision in the dark was already limited, and I didn't even pay attention to it just now, and in many inconspicuous places on the stone wall, there were huge mutant parasites crawling.
They disguised themselves as rocks and lay on the rock walls.
Gao Jian roughly counted their numbers, and there were seven or eight giant insects lying on their stomachs within ten meters of him, and farther away, because of limited vision, he could only faintly see a series of winding black shadows.
