Chapter 36: Suspicion
Situ Yelan had something to say, and the sword pointed at Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming didn't want to explain, let alone explain, so he remained silent.
The atmosphere became a little solemn for a while, and the other people all stared at Xiao Ming thoughtfully. And Xiao Qingya and Xiao Zongzheng stood firmly by Xiao Ming's side, although they were silent, but their attitudes were clear.
As for Ilti and Gu Qiusha, they are naturally Xiao Ming's firm backing.
At this moment, suddenly there was a scream in the distance, the sound was extremely weak, and it seemed to come from a very far away. If it weren't for the tailwind, and the strength of everyone was not low, I was afraid that they would miss it.
"Whose voice?" the Celestial Master of the Hanging Door frowned, because the voice was somewhat familiar to him.
"It seems to be Senior Brother Deadwood!" said another old man who resembled the image of the Celestial Master. He is the junior brother of Tianyu, and he is the second-in-command of the team of the Hanging Gate this time, and is called Tianyan by everyone.
"Something's wrong, let's go back quickly!" Master Tianyu felt like a dead wood left at the entrance at the beginning, but he was a little uncertain, and now he was reminded by Tianyan, and he no longer hesitated, and immediately rushed to the entrance.
The others didn't ask much, but quickly followed.
On the way, everyone was puzzled. You must know that the Hanging Gate pays attention to penance, to put it bluntly, it is a group of people who advocate masochism, but I have to admit that if one of the seven major forces can still fight in the most difficult and difficult environment, it must be the Hanging Gate.
This time, three elder-level figures came to the hanging door. The distinction is the Heavenly Language, the Heavenly Eye, and the Dead Wood. Deadwood as one of the Big Three. Normally. Even if it is cut by someone with a knife, it is too late. I won't say a word.
This was also the reason why Tianyu hesitated at first, he really couldn't think of anything that could make his junior brother scream like this.
The flying peak and the entrance were not close, but they were not far away, and although everyone had used the fastest speed, it took almost forty minutes to arrive.
As soon as it caught its eye, everyone froze.
Because Xiao Ming disappeared in the waterhole for three days and three nights. Everyone planned to blow up the waterhole to investigate the truth, but in order to ensure that the personnel were not too bloated, only fifty people went to the waterhole, which was the most elite part of the team sent by the seven forces this time. And the rest of the people were led by the second-in-command of the Situ family, Situ Chop, to stay at the entrance.
Although it is said that the 72 people left behind are weaker than the 50 elites selected, it does not mean that the 72 people themselves are weak, and they are only relatively selected 50 people. This time, the people sent by the seven major forces, except for the Xiao family, were directly decided by Xiao Qingya. The other six are all carefully selected members. It was originally the elite of the forces.
The fifty people selected are the elite of the elite. And the seventy-two people remained. Everywhere else, they are all elite - none of these people are below the B level.
With such a strong team, although it can go sideways anywhere, it should hold on for a long time if it is full of self-protection.
But from the time everyone heard the screams to the time they arrived at the scene, it was only forty minutes. What I saw was just a corpse.
"Who did that?" Situ Yelan was furious. Situ Chop is a genius who has risen in the Situ family in the past ten years, if it weren't for the bloodline or lineage, it would be enough to compete for the head of the family. The most important thing is that Situ is still a person who can see the overall situation clearly. He has the ability, but he doesn't have the ambition he shouldn't have, but he assists Situ Yelan wholeheartedly.
In fact, Situ Yelan had already considered marrying his sister to Situ Chop.
Now seeing that Situ, who was very likely to be his brother-in-law, was killed in front of him, how could Situ Yelan not be angry?...
Not only Situ Yelan was angry, but everyone was angry.
These dead people are all the elites of the major forces, all of them are the kind of people who can become elders and pillars of the forces even if they can't become the head of the family. Not only is it strong, but it's also loyal. With so many deaths at once, who can not be angry?
Originally, the six major forces sent so many people, and what they really had to deal with was not the golden relics, but the possible plots between each other. But now that most of them were inexplicably dead, anger and suspicion instantly permeated everyone's hearts, and the eyes of each faction looking at the other faction were full of doubts and distrust, and an aura of danger began to ripple in everyone's hearts.
Situ Yelan just paused, and was about to check on Situ Chu to see if she could still be saved, but as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by Xiao Ming.
"Xiao Ming, what do you mean?" Situ Yelan didn't have the heart to talk to Xiao Ming now.
"Don't move!" Xiao Ming shook his head and said loudly to everyone: "Don't touch those corpses, there is something wrong with the corpses!"
Xiao Ming's words startled several people who had already approached the corpse of his fellow door, and their movements of reaching out to the corpse stopped. These people are elite, and the more elite they are, the more they know when they can be willful and when they can't.
Situ Yelan took a deep breath, his eyes were like falcons and eagles: "What's the problem? What do you know? Say it all!"
"Situ Yelan, are you interrogating Xiao Ming?" Xiao Qingya immediately quit. Situ Yelan's current tone was simply interrogation.
"Among them, the most suspicious of all people is him. Even if he didn't do it, he must have known something and hid it from us, otherwise this would not have happened. You see, all the people here were killed in an instant, and there were no wounds on their bodies, either someone used poison or something else. This is not normal at all!" Although Situ Yelan was angry, he had not yet lost his cool. She just glanced at the scene, and she could already see that there were many problems.
"Hide it from you? Hmph, yes, we have something to hide from you. But that's not about it. What we are hiding is just that you yourself are stupid and didn't find out!" Xiao Qingya sneered.
In fact, she was also surprised in her heart now, because she found that she was completely unable to contact anyone to question Xiao Ming. Seeing Situ Yelan interrogating Xiao Ming in the tone of interrogating a prisoner, she felt even more angry than if she had been humiliated. didn't think much about it at all, and mocked Situ Yelan.
"Xiao Yaqing, what do you want to do?" Situ Yelan also simply tore his face and pointed at Xiao Qingya and screamed.
"Xiao Ming is my person!" Xiao Qingya only said these six words, which was enough to show her attitude.
"Hmph. I don't care who he is, I want a reasonable explanation!" Situ Yelan also snorted coldly.
"Miss Yaqing, the situation is critical now, and we need to put aside our prejudices. I think Xiao Ming must have prevented all of us from touching the corpse, there must be some important discovery, we shouldn't quarrel over something else at this time!" Tianyu clasped his hands together and ran to play the round.
The heavenly language is the highest among all people. And since he became famous, he has always been a highly respected person. It's not that there are no people who don't like him, but there are really few people who hate him.
As soon as Tianyu spoke, Xiao Qingya also had to give face. suppressed his anger and said to Xiao Ming: "You say!"
Xiao Ming was also a little moved by Xiao Qingya's maintenance, but he was more accustomed to speaking rationally, so he just nodded lightly, then nodded slightly to Tianyu, and then gestured to Situ Yelan before saying: "These corpses are hiding things on their faces, I don't know what they are." But it feels very evil to me. I advise yì not to touch these corpses, just cremate them all. In addition, I can feel that there are trace amounts of toxins in the air here, which have no effect on us at the moment, but after a long time, I don't know!"...
Situ Yelan's eyes froze: "Hiding something?"
"The corpse is a certain obstacle to my observation, so I only feel that there is something in it that is not supposed to belong to humans. If there are only one or two corpses, it is an isolated case, but all corpses are there, and the stronger the person before death, the more such things in the body. So I speculate that these things are the cause of these people's deaths. And ......" Xiao Ming said this, hesitating.
He didn't know what to say next. Because he saw in the eyes of his soul that these bug-like things hidden in the corpse were merging with the corpse. This is not a good sign. This made Xiao Ming think of parasitic viruses.
This is also a product of the Star Beast Era, which is as famous as the zombie virus. are all listed as the top ten taboos of human beings.
Parasites and zombie viruses are quite similar in that they started out as one thing and later developed into two completely different branches. Zombie viruses turn people into zombies, while parasitic viruses come in countless variations. And two of the most famous functions are control and variation.
Parasites have bee characteristics, and each population of parasites has a king, and the king's soldiers, no matter how much they develop, will completely obey the king's orders. The king of the king to control the zhì soldiers is the biggest characteristic of the parasitic virus.
The mutation is even more terrifying, after being infected by the parasite virus, humans or star beasts will appear completely unpredictable and controllable mutations, and no one knows what will become of them in the end. There were scientists who tried to stimulate the evolution of humans and star beasts in this way, but in the end they didn't get anything useful except for the production of countless monsters.
After Xiao Ming learned about the existence of the G virus, he made up for his knowledge of related aspects, including parasitic viruses. Parasitic viruses are superior to zombie viruses in every way, the only weakening thing is that the virus itself needs special parasites to survive and be infectious. So the terrible multiple-transmissible parasite of the zombie virus does not have it - but correspondingly, the parasite virus is far more latent and insidious than the zombie virus is several times more invisible.
Therefore, there is no one strong or weak between the two, which has been included in the top ten taboos of human beings.
Xiao Ming found out about this, so he resolutely didn't let everyone touch the corpse, but he didn't know how to explain this problem.
This is a golden relic, how can there be a parasitic virus created by humans? (To be continued......)
