43. Strange insects in the box
After crying for a while, Zhou Hui made up his mind and said to the two: "Ling Ye, Qian Bo, I want to bury the body outside, can you help me?" ”
"Okay," the two immediately agreed.
Zhou Hui was not going to take the body back to the camp for cremation, because this was the place where the two fell in love, and it was also her home when she was a child.
So Qian Bo dug the soil, carried the corpse in the middle of the night, and worked for nearly two hours, and finally settled the corpse, they bowed and returned to the house.
Stay Zhou Hui to talk to her parents, she hasn't seen each other for so many years, she should have a lot to say.
It was already dawning, and it was inconvenient for them to move during the day, so they discussed waiting for Zhou Hui to come in and tell her that they would stay in the house until night and then go back to the camp.
Midnight boredly flipped through the books in the room, and found that in addition to the observation notes, there were also some research summaries on the stars, weather, wind direction, and precipitation.
Rather than daily records based on time, these summaries are accompanied by detailed graphs and detailed data records, as well as speculations about the future.
"Every few months, books will be delivered, and then Uncle Zhao will teach us how to calculate, but it's a pity that I'm stupid and haven't learned, hehe" Qian Bo touched his nose and laughed twice, "I still admire her, the conditions here are so difficult, she still has the patience to study so many things"
"Hey, there's a box here"
The two of them opened it carefully, only to see that there were all kinds of instruments inside, telescopes, wind vanes, and thermohygrometers, which should have been specially sorted out by Wu Min before he died.
Ling Ye flipped through the items inside, only to see a pair of rings at the bottom, and as soon as his hand touched the ring, a tingling sensation of being hit by electricity spread all over his body.
He entered Wu Min's memories.
There, he saw her buried in work, saw her after being injured, treated the wound, endured the pain, tossed and turned, saw her hugging her beloved, saw the excited light in her eyes when she gave birth to a child, after her lover's death, she was confused and helpless in taking care of the child alone, the strong patience after bidding farewell to the child, and in the last seven years, she guarded her lover's corpse, did research, there was no film, she drew images by hand, the calculator ran out of power, she counted the data by hand, and worked hard until the research was completed.
The results of the research were carefully divided into volumes and sent to the camp, and she began to organize her tools, arrange the books neatly, and finally hold the long-decomposing corpse, kiss his forehead, and wait for death to come.
Ling Ye couldn't help but cry, if she had a happy family on Earth, instead of being used and abandoned by the LM company, she would die alone.
"Ling Ye, are you okay" Ling Ye came back to his senses, only to find that Qian Bo was looking at him with a concerned face, and Zhou Hui didn't know when he had walked in.
"Why are you in a daze again, you were the same before," Qian Bo muttered.
"It's dawn outside, we can't go out for the time being" Zhou Hui wiped the tears from his face and sat aside.
"Under the bed...... There is a channel..... There was a box inside, and a notebook" Ling Ye struggled to recall the scene he had just seen, "It was given to Wu Min by the old mage"
"How do you know?!" Zhou Hui stood up in surprise.
"I ......"
"It's the spider god who told him again, it wasn't like this last time, and suddenly he understands how to deal with the undead skeletons, no matter, let's go, go down and see" Qian Bo turned the blanket on the bed aside and knocked on the bed board.
"It's really empty, but how can this be opened, there is no gap at all?"
Ling Ye glanced at the ring on his hand, turned his head and groped carefully at the head of the bed, took out a square wooden block, and put the ring in.
After only a few "clicks", the wooden bed board opened, and Qian Bo looked inside, it was a staircase down.
"It's amazing! Never mind...... Let's go, everyone, it's coming" The two glanced at each other and followed Qian Bo down.
The passage is not deep, and it takes less than half a minute to reach the bottom, and the three of them put on night vision flowers before leaving the camp, so they can see clearly naturally.
Aside from the mountains of empty cans, there was bottled water, and there was only one wooden box inside.
According to memory, the notes were put in the box, but looking at the lock on the box, they made a mistake.
"Why don't you pry it open?" Qian Bo proposed.
"Pry what?" Ling Ye patted the box, "It looks very sturdy"
"Then why don't you carry it on your shoulders?" Qian Bo proposed, but the box was so heavy that even if the three of them worked together, they didn't move a centimeter, let alone carry it up the stairs.
"I ...... I have something" Zhou Hui seemed to think of something, and pulled out a thin rope from his neck, on which hung a key.
She took it down and handed it to Ling Ye:
"This is what I have worn around my neck since I was a child, you try"
Ling Ye took the key, put it in the keyhole, and when he twisted it, the lock was opened.
Just as the three of them were happy, the moment they opened the lid of the box, dozens of dark brown insects sprang out of it and attacked the three of them.
"Run!" Midnight shouted while slapping the insects on his body.
The three of them hurriedly ran upstairs, only to hear a "help!" ”
Ling Ye looked back and saw that the insects had covered Zhou Hui's body, and the insects on his body, as if they were inducted, jumped off him one after another and rushed straight towards Zhou Hui.
"What's the situation?" The two of them were puzzled, and hurriedly ran forward, slapped the sticky bugs on her body, and tried to drag her out of the pile.
But her body weighed like a thousand pounds, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move, and her voice gradually became smaller, drowning in the pile of insects.
"What to do? What to do? What should I do in the middle of the night! We brought her out, and her parents are still watching! She can't die here! Qian Bo was at a loss, and desperately picked up the insects on Zhou Hui's body.
As soon as she pushed some away, the insects gathered rapidly, like smelling flies, scrambling to crawl on her.
"Fire! Monsters are afraid of fire! You wait! Ling Ye hurriedly went upstairs, took down the book and threw it aside, then took out the fire fold and threw it into the book.
The books were ignited instantly, the flames burned, Qian Bo grabbed a few and threw them into the fire, the burning insects made a "squeak" sound, and then burst out of the flames, their shells had cracked, revealing the silver internal organs inside, but they still kept crawling in the direction of Zhou Hui.
"Not good!" Seeing that the insect with flames was about to crawl on Zhou Hui's body, Qian Bo hurriedly pounced and protected her under him, the flames burned her clothes, and her skin also left scorch marks after being burned.
"Midnight, think of a way! Otherwise, we're all going to die here! Qian Bo shouted.
