Chapter 1738 Placement Point
"Hurry... come here!"
The frightened footsteps were echoing, but they soon stopped.
Because they came to a safe place...at least it seems safe for now.
This is a room inside the warehouse. The light here is very dark. Because they are afraid of attracting skeletons or containers, after arriving here, the team members did not turn on the lighting and immediately closed the door.
"Ah...where did we end up?"
Relying on the dim light, the team members could barely see the surrounding environment. It seemed that none of them had enhanced their vision, and they did not wear night vision equipment.
"This should be in the middle of the warehouse." A team member said: "I don't know what the purpose of this room is..."
"Yeah... we were chased by a large group of skeletons and containers just now... I suddenly found a door on the wall and opened it. I didn't know what the hell was going on here."
Moreover, there are only five team members left, and the others are either besieged by skeletons or eaten by containers... The remaining ones also look tired and frightened.
But one of them looked at the spy with a little anger.
"Hey, you..." it said to the spy: "I noticed during the fight just now that you have never participated in the battle, and those skeletons have never attacked you..."
"Is that so?"
In fact, it was right. The spies had never been attacked by skeletons. This was not a coincidence, but the spies had detected the internal structure of skeletons before and got the reason why they attacked... mainly because of the breath.
It is the air that Er Shimin exhales when he breathes. This air has some special smell after passing through the lungs, and the skeleton reacts to this smell.
"Do you have any way to prevent them from attacking you? Why don't you tell us?"
It seems that this team member has not yet suspected that the spy and the skeleton are on the same team... So, the spy told it: "Just don't breathe."
"Ah? Breathe? What did you say..."
"It's right, the skeleton may be tracking our breath." A team member said: "After thinking about the scene just now, I found that it is indeed the case...if you breathe, you are more likely to be attacked."
"Really... Well, since it was Hong who said it, it's not wrong, but..." it said and looked at the spy again: "... But you have noticed it a long time ago, right? Why didn't you tell us? "
"Because you will die if you don't breathe," the spy said.
"...You...won't you die if you don't breathe?"
"right."
"..." It seemed to be in a state of having nothing to say.
Lin remembered that this team member should be called 'Machi'. Like other team members, it was a little dissatisfied with the addition of spies, but only it showed a stronger expression.
"Captain, they might be here." The spy suddenly pointed to the dark room and said, "Turn on the light and take a look."
"Here?" Ma Qi turned on the light on the weapon in confusion. The moment it was turned on, it and the other team members here... were stunned at this moment...
Because, under the light of illumination,
You can see that the whole room is full of... Ershimin. They look like sculptures, motionless here.
"Is this...a statue?"
March walked up doubtfully and touched the nearest Ershimin, and the touch told it that it was not a statue... because it felt as soft as being rubbed on the skin.
However, the other party remained motionless, almost no different from a statue.
"Are these... residents here?"
Looking at this situation, another team member said speculatively, which aroused even more surprise.
"But, what happened to them?" No one could guess this... Only Lin knew the general situation.
The team members were right...these 'statues' here are all Ershi people who were originally located here.
Those skeletons and containers may be the creatures that invaded here.
This warehouse originally had some Ershi people gathered. They should not be members of any wasteland gangs, but just ordinary residents of the wasteland.
However, these residents are now all extraordinary... It's an interesting situation.
Lin noticed them when she entered this room. These residents were all in a... frozen state.
The reason for this should be those containers. In fact, they are not containers, but some kind of... creatures disguised as that.
As for what kind of creatures they are, Lin is not sure yet, but they have the ability to allow Ershmin to enter...
In other words, it is the ability to return to a solidified state.
Originally, the Ershi people here, whether they were students from the college, or wasteland residents who came here, etc...
They all have a layer of 'protection' on their bodies. This layer of protection prevents them from being solidified and allows them to move around freely.
After recently testing data here, Lin adjusted some organs on the spy's body so that it can sense this kind of protection from living things.
As long as they are out of protection, they will be solidified, so whether they are separated cells or limbs, they will be solidified.
But now they have all entered a solidified state because the original protection is... gone.
When the container swallowed the captain and the others, the spy detected that the captain's body was not harmed, but his coagulation protection was stripped away.
Therefore, the captain also entered a frozen state...and the same was true for the team member who was eaten before.
After the solidification protection is completely stripped away, the container will open a hole behind it and transport the solidified creatures away.
As for those responsible for the transportation, they should be those skeletons, but it was difficult to see from the angle at the time, so after the captain went over and blew up the container, it didn't see the team members.
Then it was swallowed by itself, and all the team members who were stripped of their solidification protection were probably placed here... As for why the container did that, I don't know.
It's just that these creatures may be some very special creatures. They are not creatures from the doomsday space or other dimensions, but creatures that were originally in this place.
Creatures that originally belonged to this solidified space, and they learned the... way of life of the Ershi people here.
For example, I knew that they were interested in the cries of children, knew their skeleton appearance, and imitated this appearance to approach the Ershi people, then captured them, deprived them of their solidification, and then placed them in this room.
Lin really wanted to study...study these container creatures.
