Chapter 742: A Glimmer of Life

I don't know if I'm telepathic with the original IM plant, but we didn't see it in the corridor on the first floor when we came out, and when I turned back, it appeared.

As if waiting for me, it was parasitic on the body of a researcher who, like Luo Xiao had a body full of brains, and it was not his own.

His eyes were open, his gaze glazed over, and he stood in the middle of the hallway like a sculpture.

"We meet again." I put my hands behind my back and quietly scratched a new wound.

"Uh... Uh......" The parasite opened its mouth, making strange noises of unknown meaning in its throat, as if in response to my words.

"Why, I don't have the strength, I'm so weak." I held the blood in my hands, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

The parasite seemed to smell it too, and he suddenly fell backwards, but did not turn around, and retreated into the depths of the corridor in a reversing position.

Seeing that he was about to escape, I hurriedly chased after him, faster than him, and suddenly Luo Xiao rushed over, saw that I was chasing the parasite, and shouted: "Don't touch it!" ”

I didn't intend to touch him, who would want to touch the slimy brain, of course throwing the blood on it.

I was complaining in my heart, and the parasite suddenly slammed into me, and then pounced on me.

His look is comparable to a cartoon image of Michelin tires, and when he pounces, I have to stick to my brain tissue.

But we were too close, and his movements were sudden, and my crossing fruit had not yet borne fruit, so my instinctive action at this time was to dodge, but I couldn't dodge, so I could only raise my foot and kick him away.

The kick hit him in the lower abdomen, and he kicked a bunch of brains, and the parasite was kicked so bent over by me that he threw up.

I was so nauseous that I couldn't do it, and my heart explained that I didn't kick my stomach, why did he throw up?

However, there was a particularly complete thing in the filth that the parasite spat out, which was a white mushroom, very much like a white jade mushroom.

It's been at least a few hours since the accident at the base, and if the mushroom had been eaten by the parasite before the accident, it should have been almost digested by now.

I threw the blood on the parasite, and the brain that was wrapped around him immediately turned to ashes, but the parasite did not turn to ashes, he fell backwards, fell to the ground, and then lay on his back, and remained motionless.

At the same time, the mushroom on the ground was gone, and my attention was on the parasite, and when I looked back at the pool of vomit, I found that the filth was still there, but the mushroom was gone.

I took a step forward and looked at the parasite lying on the ground, his eyes were open and not as cerebral as the other infected people.

I waited a while and found that he was dead and nothing else had escaped from his body.

Once Luo Xiao was infected by the IM original strain, he maintained the state of a normal person, and the metabolism of the body stopped, and the hair, beard and nails stopped growing.

I remember a warehouse with bags of corpses, and I wanted to pick them up to put up the bodies of parasites.

I also dropped a few drops of my blood in his eyes and mouth to be safe, but the body remained unchanged.

I also planned to gather the corpses in the base, register my identity and cremate them, but Luo Xiao saw that the parasite was dead, and he didn't care about anything else, so he told me to leave quickly.

He said that someone had activated the base's self-destruct device before he died, and that the alarm had been turned off, and that a red light would only light up on the top of the base's tallest building when the countdown was thirty minutes in.

"Half an hour?" I remember the last time, it wasn't that long, and the self-destruct device collapsed within minutes of activation.

"yes, it's too late, let's go!" Luo Xiao glanced at the body bag on the ground and urged.

"Half an hour is enough for everyone to retreat to a safe distance, can't the car outside drive?" I was puzzled by Luo Xiao's eagerness.

"There is no gravitational explosion technology in this space-time, and ordinary explosives are used." Luo Xiao explained.

"I ——, that doesn't cause an avalanche? Hurry up, will anyone fly a helicopter? "The fruit of my crossing has not yet grown, and it is okay for a normal explosion to start thirty minutes early, but it is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and if it causes an avalanche, everyone will have to be buried.

"The helicopter can't fit all the people." Luo Xiao's expression was heavy.

"Draw lots!" Luo Xiao and I ran out and came to the clearing outside the gate, where dozens of survivors were staring at the watchtower above the base.

There was a flickering red light on the top of the tower, Luo Xiao clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, he quickly explained the current situation, there are only four helicopters, counting the pilot, a total of eighty people can be loaded, and the remaining eighteen people have no place and can only leave by car.

Who will fly the helicopter is decided by lottery, and in order to save time, the way of drawing is very simple, we cut two wires.

The blue wire was cut into eighty sections, and the red wire was cut into eighteen sections, and placed in a backpack for quick extraction.

Time waits for no one, and there is no bargaining effort, and the survivors quickly draw their own destiny line from their backpacks.

The result can be known the moment it is taken out, and the person who gets the blue line gets on the helicopter, and the person on the red line looks for a car.

Luo Xiao counted me as well, but unfortunately I drew the red line and he drew the blue line.

Luo Xiao offered to exchange with me, on the grounds that I was originally an outsider, not a person from their base, and this risk should be borne by him.

I told him not to talk nonsense, no one could leave no matter how much he rubbed it, but Luo Xiao insisted on exchanging with me.

I had to use a killer trick and ask him if he wanted to see Song Enru again, if he wanted to, he would immediately get on the plane, and I would naturally take him to see Song Enru after I went out.

This trick really worked, Luo Xiao didn't say more, turned around and took people to the helicopter.

The remaining seventeen people, all looking at me in unison, I frowned and said, "Go find the car, what are you staring at me?" ”

The young man with glasses was also among the unlucky ones, he helped his glasses and said, "We want to follow you, there are only a dozen people, and we can sit down in a car." ”

Of course, the military transport truck can carry more than a dozen people, one sheep is to drive, two sheep are also released, I don't have time to talk nonsense, beckoning them to follow.

Someone walked up to me and handed me the car keys, which meant they wanted me to drive, and I took the keys and jumped into the truck that the man had pointed me out.

The bespectacled young man sat in the passenger seat, and he said that there was a shortcut out of the mountain, and he could show me the way.

Luo Xiao's transport helicopter had already risen into the air, and twenty minutes or so should be enough for them to escape and ascend to heaven.

And a dozen people on our side, all of whom quickly jumped into the back of the truck, didn't seem to want to waste a second.

"What's your name?" I saw that the man with glasses was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, and I wanted to talk to him and ask him not to be so nervous.

"Adiri Nur, you can just call me Adili."

"You're a minority?"

"yes, I haven't been home in a long time, and the last time I spoke to my family on the phone was a year ago."

When I saw that he looked lonely, I changed the subject and said, "Where's the shortcut?" ”

Adili pointed me in the opposite direction to the last time we entered the mountain, at the rear of the base.

"Is there a way there?" Behind the base is obviously a mountain, and there is no road in the middle of the continuous mountains.

"There's a tunnel, and we go straight through it, and maybe there's a glimmer of life."

I raised an eyebrow, if this tunnel was safe, how could he put on a look like he was going to hell?

"Will the tunnel collapse?" I had to ask before I could bring someone in.

"No, it won't." Adiri seemed to stutter as soon as he was nervous, and he stared ahead, subconsciously avoiding making eye contact with me.

"If you don't tell the truth, we'll stop here and wait for death." I was about to hit the brakes.

"Don't don't, you can't stop, the base will explode in ten minutes!"

As soon as Adiri finished speaking, someone knocked on the window in the car behind him and asked why he was driving behind the base.

"They don't know there's a tunnel in the mountains?" Seeing this, I asked Adili.

"I don't know, it was discovered before the site was selected, and it was later sealed."

I turned my head and said to the people behind me, "There is a tunnel in the mountain, let's go through it!" ”

The people in the back now trust me very much, and when they hear me say that there is a tunnel to pass through, they immediately stop asking.

The entrance to the tunnel was covered with snow, and he said that it was originally a cave, but later a base was to be built, and the engineering team wanted to borrow this tunnel to directly widen and pave it, so that it would be convenient and time-saving for transport vehicles to take this road.

However, halfway through the implementation of the project, strange things happened one after another, the construction workers either disappeared or went crazy, and there were incidents of workers cutting each other.

In short, everyone's mental state is not normal, and an expert was sent to investigate, but the expert also had an accident.

After that, the tunnel was closed, and a second team of engineers was mobilized on it, and the later people did not know what had happened before.

I asked Adiri how he knew about it, and he said that he had a friend who had been involved in the construction of the tunnel, and because he was the driver, he had never entered the tunnel, and that he had not seen what had happened, but he was still half a party.

When this friend told Adili about the tunnel, he didn't know that one day in the future, Adiri would be transferred here.

The Snow Mountain Base itself is a secret, everything about it should be confidential, and Adili's friends can't help but leak it to him knowing the consequences, and it is estimated that what happened in the tunnel has caused him a great psychological burden.

I immediately used my mental power to probe into the mountain, there was no living thing in it, there should be no beasts or monsters or anything like that.

But I know that many plants, and even minerals, can kill people.

Whether it is plants or minerals, since it is to make people crazy, then the key point lies in people, as long as people are not affected, they can naturally save their lives.

The best way to keep people safe from outside distractions is to shut down their brains first.

I unleashed my mental power and knocked out all the dozen or so people in the back of the car and knocked them into a deep coma.

Then park the car in front of the entrance of the tunnel, which is blocked by a thousand pounds of boulders, which cannot be opened without explosives.

But that was for ordinary people, and I focused on trying to concretize my mental power again.

The black tentacles unfurled, and they pulled out the cork-like boulder as if they were opening a wine bottle.

When I drove the truck into the tunnel, the tentacles put the boulder back in place.

The tunnel was very clean, presumably the site had been cleaned up when the engineering team evacuated.
