Chapter 9: Ten Thousand Snake Island
To the east of Yongan is the sea, and according to international conventions, within 18 nautical miles of the coast belongs to the territory of Dapeiguo.
Three hundred nautical miles southeast of Yong'an, there is a round island of nearly 1,000 square kilometers, this island is called Canglong, the island is rich in fruits, it is the fruit export center of the countries of Dajiangzhou, the population of the island is nearly 10 million, and the whole people are soldiers.
The inhabitants of Canglong Island believe in the dragon, and the name of the country also has a dragon character, called Candle Dragon.
The Candle Dragon Kingdom and the Dapei Kingdom are quite related, the first generation of the Candle Dragon Kingdom His Majesty is the younger brother of the Sage of the Great Pei Kingdom, the two fought the world together, and then I don't know what the reason, the younger brother of the Candle Dragon Country with his clan and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and family members left the land of the Dapei Country, and lived far away on Canglong Island, where he opened up the wasteland and built a country.
At the beginning, the two countries did not interact with each other, but in the past hundred years began to communicate with each other, although diplomatic relations were established, but the kings of the two countries have not met in the past hundred years, and there are very few people who know secretly.
There are more than a dozen small islands around Canglong Island, ranging in area from a dozen square kilometers to hundreds of square kilometers, two of which have become military bases, one has been built into a prison, and most of the rest are dense and uninhabited.
There is a small island of more than ten square kilometers in the west of the Candle Dragon Country, because there are many sea snakes on the island, and they are inexhaustible, named Ten Thousand Snakes Island, which has been uninhabited for thousands of years, and I don't know who put the photos of the island full of snakes on the Internet in the past two years, attracting countless explorers from three continents around the world.
It's just that in the past half a month, several expeditions and scientific expeditions of hundreds of people have mysteriously disappeared on the island, causing an uproar, and the national rescue team sent by the Candle Dragon Kingdom did not find it, and finally it was gone, and at the same time it was announced that no one on the island of ten thousand snakes could not approach.
At this moment, there is a helicopter hovering over Ten Thousand Snake Island, the helicopter is flying very low, almost clinging to the bushes on the island, and there is a person holding a telescope in each of the two aircraft doors to observe something.
Snakes of different lengths and colors can be seen everywhere below, some lie on the stones to bask in the sun, some are wrapped around the branches, this season is the season for snakes to lay eggs, many female snakes lay eggs, it looks like a layer of white pebbles on the ground.
Zhong Yi, who was sitting in the left hatch, looked at the group of snakes below and frowned, snakes are shady things, he has always disliked them, but because of the other party's face, he is inconvenient to say directly.
The other party was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, wearing sunglasses, a colorful floral shirt on the upper body, floral pants on the lower body, and a pair of slippers on his feet.
He is the eldest son of the king of the Candle Dragon Kingdom, Meng Wuwu.
"Old Zhong, I will invite you to drink snake soup later, and put a few more snake eggs in the soup to make up for it." Meng Wuwu said to Zhong Yi with a smile, and after speaking, he pointed to the dense forest in front of him: "Look carefully over there." ”
The helicopter flew towards the place Meng Wuwu said, Zhong Yi looked calmly and saw several figures......
"Prince, is this the expedition that went missing a few days ago? Didn't you say you couldn't find it? ”
"Take a closer look." Meng Wuwu said as he commanded the helicopter to fly closer to the ground.
Now Zhong Yi saw clearly, those "people" were in tatters, their clothes were full of blood-colored stains, and some body parts had disappeared and rotted.
He saw a "man" with a broken leg crawling on the ground, and a highly venomous green-ringed sea snake wrapped around his neck.
The body of the blue-ringed sea snake is mostly slender and cylindrical, the back is dark gray, and the abdomen is lighter, because the whole body is covered with about sixty black rings and is famous, even if Zhong Yi does not like snakes, but this snake is too recognizable, and it is still recognized at a glance.
What's even more terrifying is that the tail of the green ring sea snake is wrapped around the man's neck, and the snake head burrows into the man's mouth and out of the right eye, and is now spitting out blood-red snake letters.
Zhong Yi couldn't help but shudder when he saw this scene, looked at Meng Wuwu and asked a little puzzled, "Isn't that person already dead?" Why do you still crawl? ”
"Remember the corpse chasers recorded in the ancient books, I call them the living dead?"
"You see, their rotting flesh doesn't even eat these vipers."
"The most important thing is that these living dead are extremely bloodthirsty, and they will bite them when they see a living person, although they have no lethality, but they ......" Meng Wuwu said and laughed: "The virus they carry has replication genes, if anyone is bitten by him, they will definitely mutate into the same as them in less than half an hour." ”
"In fact, this is just the lowest-order genetic virus, just using the virus to damage the brain nerves and then control the trigeminal nerve...... I don't know to you, but that's probably it. ”
"Hasn't Peiguo been studying how to strengthen humans with genes?"
"We've been studying how genes control human beings, and we've come up with this by mistake."
"Is there a cure for this virus?" Zhong Yi had a trace of fear in his heart.
Meng Wuwu smiled and glanced at Zhong Yi meaningfully: "Don't worry, your people will be able to land on the island tomorrow, and I will ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives." ”
Hearing Meng Wuwu's promise, Zhong Yi was still a little hesitant, but now he nodded heavily.
"You just provided Lin Xiang with a venue, why should you be so careful?" Thinking of something, Meng Wuwu turned his head to look at Zhong Yi, wanting to hear his explanation.
Zhong Yi didn't dare to hide it: "There is nothing wrong with providing a genetic laboratory, it's just that Lin Xiang's plan failed...... As a last resort, I activated the safe house again, and these two things together, Li Qianfan's old fox will find out about me sooner or later. ”
Hearing Zhong Yi's explanation, Meng Wuwu was quite satisfied, and he nodded: "Don't worry, Li Qianfan will soon be in no mood to check." ”
Zhong Yi said a good word, he believed that Meng Wuwu must have his reason for saying this.
At this time, Meng Wuwu looked in the direction of Peiguo, with a yearning look on his face: "I have long heard that Peiguo is rich in resources, I really want to take a look now." ”
"I believe that the crown prince will soon have his wish come true!" Zhong Yi took the opportunity to show his ability to slap horses.
"There are still people in Yongan who are willing to cooperate with me." Meng Wuwu smiled, he had enough patience and ambition: "As long as I live, this fertile land will be mine sooner or later." ”
There was a sentence he didn't say, with these living dead experiments, he wanted to die - it was really not that easy.
After thinking about it, he told Zhong Yidao: "Yong'an will be the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival in a few days, so you can wait and see when the time comes." ”
"Hehe~ Is it a festival celebrated all over the world? I'm really looking forward to it! After speaking, Meng Wuwu commanded the helicopter to fly in the direction of the Candle Dragon Kingdom.
Looking at the sea water below and listening to Meng Wuwu's words, Zhong Yi became a little smug.
Turning his head to look at the vanishing living dead, his gaze became hot.
Hearing the roar of the helicopter, the snakes below jumped wildly, and the living dead all looked up in the direction where the plane had disappeared.
Like one, two, three woods in the game, the bodies of the living dead are stiff, but ready to move.
The difference is.
There is not a trace of warmth in their bodies.
Heart.
It's also cool.
