Chapter 8: A High-Level Conspiracy?
Li Yuan looked at the corpse on the ground, the clothes on the corpse were in tatters.
Through almost torn clothes.
It could be seen that the corpse was indistinguishable from the dried corpse, and there was a large hollow in the chest.
There was nothing inside, and the real body was hollowed out.
In addition, the body also has gray-white hair, which is messy and sparse, and stained with a lot of dark red blood.
A fishy smell came to the face, making people smell and even a little dizzy.
In stark contrast is Xia Yanzhen.
There wasn't even a trace of blood on his body, it was clean - oh no, there was still some dust on the ground just now.
Looking at the twisted corpse in front of him wearing the uniform of the armed personnel of the Senluo Group, Li Yuan said in a dumb voice: "The matter is really related to those guys. Although we are all Senluo people, we are not all the way. ”
"I don't believe it." Xia Yanzhen remained skeptical, "How do you prove it?" ”
"Let him go." Li Yuan motioned to let Tao E go, "Let's go to the car and talk slowly." ”
Tao E nodded at Xia Yanzhen, thinking that it was okay.
A group of people got back into the car.
This time, it wasn't the armed soldiers sitting next to him with loaded guns.
Xia Yanzhen and Tao E sat together, facing Li Yuan.
"Let me introduce myself, Li Yuan, I am the director of a biological research laboratory in Senluo." Li Yuan introduced himself.
"My surname is Tao."
"Summer."
Neither of them signed up.
I don't know what Tao E's reason is, did he encounter a situation where someone would die if his name was known?
Anyway, Xia Yan really followed the trend.
Li Yuan didn't care: "I don't care where the two of you came from or how you came here for the time being, I just want to make sure what the purpose of the two of you is here." ”
Tao E glanced at Xia Yanzhen, made sure that he didn't mean to speak, and took the initiative to speak: "We also strayed into this ghost place inexplicably, and we appeared in that hospital after sleeping." ”
That's the truth.
"As for the purpose, of course, it is to leave this town and go home."
The greater truth.
"That's good, at least we're on the same page." Li Yuan said.
"Since the purpose is the same, let's try it, take a walk and hit the wall?" Tao E said.
Although I don't know the reason, Xiao Xia is a ruthless person who ignores the ghost hitting the wall, leaves the madman town, and the dawn of completing the task is just around the corner.
If you discuss it in depth with Li Yuan, you may trigger the "plot branch" and get benefits.
Now Tao E seeks stability.
If you want to do this, it is best to determine a good way out.
"Mind if you bring me?" Li Yuan asked.
Tao E asked Xia Yanzhen's opinion again.
Xia Yanzhen shook his head and said that he had no opinion.
He plus Tao E, and two armed soldiers got out of the car, a total of four people.
Xia Yanzhen walked in the front, Tao E reached out to put his hand on Xia Yanzhen's shoulder, and walked diagonally behind.
The two soldiers behind Tao E were on one side, holding Tao E's shoulders.
Form a formation of an awl.
The two soldiers set up their guns, and Tao E was ready to scream at any time.
After taking a few steps forward, Tao E and the three of them did not have the same foggy scene in front of them as just now.
But my own feelings began to get strange.
Like those classic visual errors, or walking into a specially made sloping house.
The body involuntarily began to be crooked, if it weren't for Xia Yanzhen's shoulder, there was a stable "coordinate", I don't know where it would be at this time.
Tao E walked with knots in his left and right feet, and he fought with himself and almost fell.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, the three of them were as tired as if they had run a thousand meters.
Fortunately, soon, the three of Tao E saw the tunnel.
Outside the mouth of the tunnel, there are black armored vehicles, sentry posts, barricades and other things.
The barricades had been torn down, and there were several twisted monster corpses lying on the ground.
The tunnel of the Black Hole Cave is not far away.
After passing through the tunnel, even if you don't leave the confines of Water Source Town, it's definitely not far.
"How are you feeling?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"There's an uncomfortable feeling of dislocation." Tao E said.
"It's like motion sickness." One soldier made a more accurate description, "I put down my gun first, it's a little hard to aim." ”
"If you think it's okay, just keep going." Xia Yan really felt that it would be good to leave like this and complete the task...... I have classes going to class the next day.
So far, he has seen no supernatural powers, except for a few moving corpses.
Expectations for the "Sleeping Copy" have inevitably dropped a bit.
There is no adventure for the second secondary school teenager at all, the world is different from then on, and the old lady touches the electric door and shakes the excitement.
I don't think it's as good as going home and studying.
The four men stayed in formation and continued to move forward.
The lights in the tunnel were not turned on, and not long after entering, the surroundings became pitch black, Xia Yanzhen took the portable flashlight from the soldier's hand and turned it on, illuminating the way ahead.
It was a two-way, four-lane tunnel, and there were no vehicles in sight.
There was a feeling of emptiness when the four of them walked.
"How long is this tunnel?" Tao E asked.
Communicating more can help distract you, but it can slightly reduce the feeling of some vertigo in the misalignment.
"This tunnel is newly built, which shortens the distance between Shuiyuan Town and the outside world, but the tunnel itself is relatively long, about three kilometers." One replied.
A road tunnel of about three kilometers is already a long tunnel, and more than three kilometers is an extra-long road tunnel.
"It was also built by your Senluo Group?"
"Our group has invested in the construction of these two years, and it has only been opened to traffic for more than a year." The soldier replied.
"You Senluo are so rich that you went to this kind of town to build a tunnel?" Tao E asked more.
The soldier shook his head slightly: "The decision of the upper echelons, where do we little soldiers know why." ”
"What happened to that Li Yuan just now who said that he wasn't a person all the way? What's going on in this town? Tao E asked.
The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said, "Actually, we don't know. ”
Three years ago, they went through the above post adjustment and came to Shuiyuan Town.
His main job is to be responsible for the safety of the biological laboratory that Li Yuan is in charge of.
A squad of twelve people.
Usually I listen to Li Yuan, the head of the room, and is responsible for protecting the safety of the laboratory.
They don't even know exactly what the lab is doing.
As for the change in the town, it's hard to say exactly when it began.
It's just that the originally normal, lively water source town is starting to become quieter and quieter, and the people are becoming more and more silent.
Then one day, a black-haired monster appeared.
That is, the kind of monster that Tao E saw, turned into by humans.
Maintaining a basic human form, the limbs will be distorted to a certain extent.
Since then, the black-haired monsters have appeared one after another at night, and an outbreak has been ushered in at Senro Hospital.
As a result, the hospital was abandoned and walled off.
But it was too late, and the black-haired monster quickly swept through the town like a plague after the hospital outbreak.
Shuiyuan Town became what Xia Yanzhen and the others saw now.
In Shuiyuan Town, it is roughly estimated that seventy percent of the population has become black-haired monsters.
Instead of completely changing, they will hide, maintain their normal human form, and continue to live until some "needy" moment, when they will "transform".
The remaining thirty percent, most of them are also muddy, and they are sleepwalking every day, and they will be awake for some time.
Most of the time, I go about my daily life instinctively and mechanically.
This is not necessarily a good thing for those people.
Because—
During the day, it's a quiet, normal-looking town.
People go about their daily lives, but they don't make any sounds, and when someone speaks, they make a human voice and are heard.
The black fur monster hidden in the crowd will instantly manifest and attack.
That is what happened to Xia Yanzhen in the morning.
The muddy, sleepwalking-like situation saved some people from being torn apart by the black-haired monsters.
The black-haired monster is not a slow zombie.
Their speed, strength, and even vitality are far beyond ordinary people, and it is difficult to brake any bullet or two.
Listen as the soldiers describe the situation in the town and the dangers of the black-haired monsters.
Tao E couldn't help but recall the situation in the morning, and Xiao Xia pointed to a black-haired monster.
It's a bit of a big gap.
As long as you don't make human voices during the day, you basically won't attract black haired monsters.
And at night, the deeper the night, the higher the probability of the black haired monster appearing outside, after three o'clock, there will be a large number of black haired monsters wandering on the streets.
It was not until the day approached that it gradually dispersed and returned to the "human body".
After the outbreak of the black-haired monster in the hospital, the magistrates of the Sen Luo Group and Shuiyuan Town also imposed a curfew, but unfortunately it was the same as blocking the hospital.
Nothing has been achieved.
In today's Shuiyuan Town, there are probably very few truly normal people.
Those who are in a muddy nightmare are estimated to become black-haired monsters sooner or later.
"Why? Did you find it? And why do ghosts hit the wall? Tao E's voice echoed through the empty tunnel.
"I don't know, when we were going to escape, we were already ghosts hitting the wall, not only here, but everywhere we left the town, even if we climbed the mountain." The soldier emphasized.
They had already tried, and there was no way to leave Shuiyuan.
"Haven't you ever suspected that it was your Senluo Group that made it up by itself, what kind of biological laboratory, it wouldn't be that Li Yuan's doing?" Tao E asked.
"No, it's not."
One soldier explained.
Senluo Group has set up a research institute directly in Shuiyuan Town.
Li Yuan is only the director of one laboratory in the research institute, and there are five more laboratories like this.
Two of them are related to biology, and there are also geological explorations and the like.
After the incident broke out completely, the middle and high-level members of the Senluo Group either disappeared or became black-haired monsters like the residents of the town.
Li Yuan is the only one left who can still do things.
He took his team and ran around in various ways, gathered a group of survivors, and wanted to escape from the town.
So far, it hasn't worked out.
But if it weren't for Li Yuan, they might all be dead.
Moreover, judging from the discovery just now, there is indeed a high probability that the matter was caused by the Senluo Group.
Li Yuan, like them, is a victim in the dark.
The real masterminds behind this are those at the higher levels who are nowhere to be found.
