Chapter 229 Reasoning
Corpses were rising upright from the water. The scene was so horrifying that not even horror movies could capture this effect, let alone reality.
Team Li and others fired a burst of fire.
When bullets hit those corpses, they will penetrate immediately. In a short time, the densely packed corpses will be beaten into a sieve.
However, this had no effect on these corpses.
Because these corpses are dead themselves and cannot be beaten to death again.
The circle of corpses was getting closer and closer to Team Li and the others, and Team Li and the others were running out of bullets.
"Captain, what should I do?" Xiao Zhang almost cried.
"Retreat, retreat, escape first!" Captain Li didn't dare to be reckless anymore and hurriedly gave the order to retreat.
Immediately, the three men opened fire to suppress the attack and rowed backwards.
ah……
Suddenly, Xiao Zhang screamed and fell on the kayak, covering his thigh, sweating profusely from the pain.
"Xiao Zhang, what's wrong?" Captain Li asked hurriedly.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much, ah..."
Xiao Zhang was rolling on the kayak in pain.
Captain Li's face was extremely ugly, "Hold on!"
He gritted his teeth and took out a small explosive grenade.
This thing is not as powerful as a regular grenade. It is used for small-scale blasting. Now, I can't control so much, so I just threw one at this group of corpses.
Boom...
There was a muffled sound under the water, and a splash of water exploded at the center of the explosion. The waves almost overturned their kayak.
Those corpses were also swept away by the turbulent underwater currents.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Captain Li and the others quickly escaped from here in their kayaks.
Fortunately, once they got out of the beast's big mouth, the corpses stopped chasing them. It seemed that there was an invisible barrier blocking their way.
Xiao Zhang was in excruciating pain, and finally fainted from the pain.
Team Li was so anxious that he had no choice but to speed up and take Xiao Zhang away.
When they went out, someone was already there to help them outside, and a team doctor immediately came to check Arrogance's condition. They soon discovered a black and swollen spot on Xiao Zhang's calf.
The surrounding black lines spread to all sides, as if spreading out, and something seemed to be crawling under the skin, which was creepy to look at.
"This, this seems to be a parasite. The situation is very dangerous. Send him to the hospital quickly!" The team doctor was also helpless.
Xiao Zhang was quickly sent to the hospital.
The faces of the remaining people were extremely ugly.
I thought this was a good thing for them, but who could have imagined that something like this happened as soon as they entered.
If Team Li and the others hadn't gone in early to explore the route, the archaeological team would have risked being directly wiped out if they went in together.
Now, everyone has droopy faces, and they are no longer as excited as before.
"How could this happen?" Chen Yan scratched his hair. It was as messy as a chicken coop and he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
He looked at Captain Li, "Captain Li, have you personally experienced that those corpses are really fake corpses?"
This result is difficult to accept.
What if it's really a fake corpse?
Is it possible that we need to invite a few Taoist priests to come over and slay demons?
It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
When you go out for archeology, you need to bring a few Taoist priests with you. In the future, will the School of Archeology also require Taoist priests as a major?
Captain Li was silent, he didn't want to accept this result, but seeing it with his own eyes, how could it be wrong.
Everyone saw him silent, but the answer was actually self-evident.
"Why don't we go to Mount Wutai and invite some masters to come over and help us to save all the dead souls!" someone said.
Normally, Chen Yan would definitely scold him, but now he feels that this is not impossible.
Su Xin suddenly said: "I think we may have been misled!"
"What's the meaning?"
For a moment, everyone looked at her.
After all, Su Xin participated in the entire excavation of Jingjue Ancient City and still had a lot of say.
Su Xin said: "We first saw those people grabbing the corpses of the tomb robbers. We instinctively thought that the people were deceiving the corpses. However, if we combine it with the game, wouldn't it be possible that those people actually died in In the hands of the water swine."
Everyone calmed down and then remembered about the game.
Professor Chen said: "Su Xin, please continue."
Su Xin nodded, "The injury on the leg of the previous team member was probably caused by the sting of a water hyacinth bee. Judging from the game, the sting of this mutated water hyacinth bee is very painful, and it will become more and more painful. The symptoms Are the same."
"But it's different. In the game, when they entered the water hole, there were swarms of water wasps on the water, but here, we didn't see any water wasps!" Someone raised a question.
The game is a game, and reality is reality. Although they are very similar, there are some places where the game deliberately makes some changes, which is not impossible.
Su Xin said: "You have also seen that there are many recently dead bodies in the water cave. These people may be the tomb robbers who came here before. They should have triggered the mechanism long ago. The water swarms have already passed the first wave. The stage that has just been hatched is at the next stage.”
Everyone nodded.
Those corpses were grave robbers, no one doubted that.
Except for tomb robbers, who would have no time to enter a water cave that leads to nowhere.
Su Xin continued, "I don't know if you have noticed that after the water pig bees hatched, their bodies gradually turned gray and black, which is very similar to the color of the human skin. If they all live on the surface of the corpse, plus the dim light in the water cave, it is almost difficult to be discovered!"
"So, I think it may not be the corpse that is resurrecting, but the water pig bees attached to the surface of the corpse are moving, driving the corpse, and we mistakenly think it is a resurrection!"
After Su Xin finished speaking, everyone present was silent.
Captain Li stood up immediately, "I will go in again and try to get a human body out!"
Resurrection and water pig bees are two completely different things. Facing these two completely different things, the mentality is completely different.
Therefore, it is necessary to figure it out.
"Be careful, don't go in, pull one out with a rope outside!" Chen Yan said.
"Don't worry, I know what to do!"
Captain Li is also vigorous and resolute, and he does it as soon as he says.
He is really brave. He just experienced such a terrifying thing, but he still dares to go in now. Everyone admires him very much.
Chen Yan looked at Su Xin, his face full of relief, "Su Xin, fortunately we asked you to help, the young are formidable, the young are formidable!"
Su Xin was a little embarrassed, "Professor Chen, these are all my guesses, the actual situation is still uncertain!"
"No matter what the result is, it's good that you have such an active mind!" Professor Chen looked at his students and was quite disappointed.
Everyone waited again.
Captain Li led a few people in directly, and the few people who followed in were all in their throats.
Xiao Zhang's painful look before is still vivid in my mind, who wouldn't be afraid.
