Chapter 172: Hanging Coffin
"This is Song Bei," Zheng Gang introduced, "Professor Song Qiande's son." ”
"Son?"
Professor Song is in his sixties, and his son is only twenty-five or sixteen.
Song Bei stepped forward a few steps, and his triangular eyes with a fierce light stared at Yu Xian.
"My father's notes indicate that his coordinate point is about two kilometers to the north, and after our position is corrected, we should follow a straight line."
The terrain ahead is downward, and there are traces of landslides.
Shrubs have grown after a large amount of earth and rockfall, and the rainforest landscape is far from recovering, indicating that some years have passed, and this should have been the case when Survey Team 303 arrived.
A sudden change in the landscape may reveal a hidden treasure.
Not only dinosaur fossils, but also special veins that are used to study geological changes.
The reason why Song Bei holds the opposite opinion is not only in the direction indicated in the scientific research diary, but also in his own judgment.
After all, he came from a paleontological research family, and he thought more about exploration than other special combat team members.
Yu Xian responded calmly, "I can't be 100% sure of finding the destination, but the direction I chose has 100% fossils from the dinosaur period." ”
"Okay, don't fight." Zheng Gang made a round, "It is almost two kilometers away from the initial coordinates given by Professor Song, and the two teams will be divided to see the situation." ”
A team of forty-four people, most of whom waited in place, Yu Xian and Song Bei each took five people to search in their own judgments.
The adjutant followed Yu Xian's team into the forest area.
"Yu Xian, in fact, Song Bei was anxious, so he behaved a little sharply, he is not a mean person."
After Song Qiande disappeared, Song Bei, who was embarrassed to perform his tasks elsewhere, immediately applied to join the search for the Ganlin Nature Reserve, but Gu Shazhou directly refused.
The reason is that Song Bei's state is really not good, and he must rest.
It is understandable that he is eager to find his father, but the task is not made by one person, there are people in the team who are in poor condition, and the lives of their companions may be implicated at critical moments.
The last concession Gu Shazhou gave was to allow Song Bei to rush there immediately after discovering further clues, and before that, he had to rest well and adjust his state.
"So on the way into the heterochromatic area, Song Bei was the most tormented in his heart."
"Hey, I understand."
Peel aside the vegetation and open the horizon to a mountain valley.
This is the case in tropical rainforests, where the field of view is limited, sometimes separated by a layer of foliage.
On the side of the gravel beach of the stream, Yu Xian picked up a sign with a bent root, and on it was a series of numbers with a number formed by the mother and child, with the suffix: -303
"It's the Mark of Investigation Team 303!"
"Notify the home team!"
Officially enter the heterochromatic area, satellite phones are not used, fortunately, they are separated by a certain range, and the official customized wireless walkie-talkies can still communicate with each other.
Yu Xian was not surprised to find the identification plate of Investigation Team 303.
Even if dinosaur fossils are found in the wild, as long as they are not complete, scholars will not be able to accurately identify them, and they will have to bring them back for study.
The fossil beds they found always had unidentified fossils, and the three markers of the Dragon Atlas were locked here, and the number of markers increased as they got closer.
There will be no error caused by a second fossil bed.
Dense movements approached in the distance, and the special combat team that got the news assigned a part of their personnel to check the surrounding dangers.
Both sides of the valley are high mountains and dense forests, and if the enemy is hidden, it will be extremely unfavorable to us.
"That's... What's that?! ”
Find the fossil bed, Yu Xian should have checked the fossil situation as a matter of course, and leave other matters to the special combat team.
But above the steep rock wall, the toadstools were wrapped in huge objects, attracting all the attention of Yu Xian.
Not only was it idle, but several special combat team members who came to Yunji Country for the first time to perform the mission all looked at the hillside in a daze, and the veterans arranged by Zheng Gang were not affected at all, and carried out dangerous deviation actions normally.
Huge strands of black clouds rose out of the cliff wall, comparable to the black water gushing from the sewers, wrapping something in a black cocoon and hanging it on the cliff one by one.
You can roughly perceive that the thing you are wrapped in is a cuboid, and it looks like a large wardrobe.
"What's that?"
"The special burial method of the Yunji Country, the black hair hangs in the coffin."
The black cloud bun is shaped like hair, and the coffin seems to be hung in bundles of hair, which is why it has such a name.
"Huh?"
The adjutant's answer surprised Yu Xian, the hanging coffin he had heard of in the past was not completely suspended, but a horizontal hole in the cliff.
The depth of the cave is only enough to put half of the coffin, and the other half is exposed, erected on a wooden stake or a large iron nail, and half of the body is suspended in the air, also called: coffin into the niche
The production is a coffin, and a half-ribbed niche is dug in the high mountain of Linjiang to bury it. From the mountain suspension coffin, the high one thinks that there is a coffin for the dead and is not buried, and it is placed between the caves, and the high one is a thousand feet away, or near the big river, and does not cover it. ("The Ruling and the Wild")
Yunji Country is good, the black cocoon is wrapped in the coffin, and it is really suspended in the air.
"It's just hyphae, is it so strong?"
"Yes."
The adjutant said that he first came to Yunji Country five years ago, and that he had seen black-haired hanging coffins on cliffs elsewhere.
The coffins on the cliff hung in this way, and some of them fell, and the black clouds piled up on both sides of the valley were as thick as bushes.
At this time, a member of the clan who came to the cloud country for the first time asked questions.
"There should be a scholar who has opened the coffin in the Cloud Bun Country, right?"
"Yes, there are fairly well-preserved corpses of the inhabitants of the Cloud Bun Country."
After more than 700 years, the regular cell tissues of the corpse should have rotted long ago, just because the people of the Yunji country ate the food in the area and coexisted with the black cloud bun.
After death, the hyphae replace a part of the cells to maintain the whole human form, and the meridians and fibers in it are also preserved.
There are bone meridians and biochemically modified lumpy muscles, and the special combat team members remembered the "living corpse of the cloud bun country" in the intelligence, saying that there was a danger similar to a zombie hidden in the black cloud bun.
"Don't take it lightly, don't touch the black cloud bun that wraps the coffin."
"Understood!"
According to existing research, the underneath of the Bun Country is a vast network of mycelium, and even all the black buns covering the heterochromic area can be considered as a whole symbiote.
The perception of mycelium is beyond human imagination, and if a mushroom in one place is injured, other mushrooms connected to the mycelium underground will also feel the danger.
Early biologists and archaeologists did not expect that the fungi in this place were special, and in order to find out what was inside the coffin of the black hair, they found a coffin that had fallen to the ground and cut open the black cloud bun for study.
When the museum opened, the living corpses inside jumped out and shocked everyone.
Fortunately, there were members of the special combat team to protect them, suppress them on the spot, and cut the living corpse into multiple pieces.
The weakness of zombies in film and television works is often in the brain, but the living corpses of Yunji Country tend to be fungal aggregates, even if they are chopped into pieces of meat, they still retain the activity of wriggling, but they do not threaten the investigation team.
I thought there was no danger, but the injured black cloud bun conveyed a danger signal through the underground mycelium, and several coffins nearby opened automatically, and more than a dozen living corpses rushed out.
In areas densely populated with black clouds, the special operations team did not dare to use firearms, especially explosives.
The heat wave generated by the thermal weapon creates an updraft, which only causes a large amount of germs to drift into the air, making it more difficult to deal with.
At this time, everyone gained the experience of their predecessors in exchange for their lives, and their gestures became more and more light, for fear that something would go wrong...
