Chapter 263: Face Flying Insect
At this time, I found that Xiao Lei's expression was extremely serious. After spending so long with him, I knew him well. From his expression, I vaguely felt that there might be an inexplicable danger slowly approaching us.
So, I also increased my vigilance.
This kind of vest-style clothing is really uncomfortable to put on. It's very thick and hard. Could it be a body armor? But according to my superficial understanding of body armor, it doesn't look like it. The body armor should be more durable than this. It's much thicker.
After putting on his clothes, Xiaolei made an action that was even more confusing to me.
The two of us leaned over again and continued to watch the changes in the bottle under the illumination of the flashlight. At this time, almost all the corpse insects in the bottle had turned into pupae, and at least two-thirds had turned into "flying flies with human faces". "worms" and flying wildly in the bottle. They kept hitting the bottle cap, as if they were about to fly out.
Xiao Lei looked at me with a serious face and said nothing. Then he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly opened the cork of the bottle as if he had made up his mind.
This action was so unexpected, I really don't know why he did it.
As soon as the bottle cap was opened, the "human-faced flying insects" inside swarmed out from the bottle mouth, and once they flew out, they somehow seemed to undergo chemical changes as soon as they encountered the air in the hole. , the body immediately emitted colorful fluorescence. At this time, Xiao Lei put out the flashlight. Suddenly, his eyes were dark, and the fluorescent "flying insect with a human face" was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
I saw these "human-faced flying insects" flying towards the old lady's body on the rock wall. Because they were gathered together, the fluorescence they emitted became brighter.
When I was studying as a child, I remember a story called "Nangying Reading". It said that Che Yin, a man from the Jin Dynasty, was poor when he was a child, and his family couldn't even afford lamp oil. In order to study at night, he collected many fireflies together and used fireflies to emit light. I use the bright light to read, but I have never seen a large number of fireflies gathering together.
Today I really saw bugs that can emit fluorescence. They gather together and emit this kind of bright light. This kind of bright light can vaguely illuminate nearby objects, but it is not huge, but this kind of colorful fluorescence is even more fascinating. It felt extremely unreal, especially the face of the dead body, which looked even more terrifying and abnormal under this kind of light. As soon as my eyes came into contact with that terrifying face, which probably took no more than 0.1 seconds at most, I immediately lowered my head. , dare not look at it for a moment.
"Xiao Lei, please turn on the flashlight quickly, it's too scary," I whispered to Xiao Lei in a trembling voice.
Xiao Lei did not turn on the flashlight, but said to me: "Wait a minute, let's see what happens next."
Before I could say anything else, I heard Xiao Lei say in a low and urgent voice: "Xiao Ming, look, the body is alive."
His words made my scalp feel like an electric shock, numbing it from the top of my head to my back, but I really didn’t have the courage to look up and look at the face of the corpse again.
At this moment, suddenly, I seemed to hear a low, gurgling laughter, which made me shiver all over, my scalp was numb, my heart seemed to be grasped, and I shivered. Could it be... could this be... The laughter of corpses…
At this time, Xiao Lei seemed to notice my fear. I just felt his hand pressing a certain part of my ear hard several times. I don’t know why, after he pressed it like this, I immediately felt refreshed, as if After inhaling pure oxygen, I felt like I was full of sleep, and my spirit immediately became excited. The original fear and shrinkage were greatly reduced, and I actually had the courage to look up.
(Later I learned that during Xiao Lei’s brief study and exchange period in the United States, he accidentally listened to a lecture given by a psychology professor at Harvard University. The lecture was titled ZenAndBrain, which means “Zen and the Human Brain.” It was a study on the effects of Zen on the human brain. Xiao Lei was very interested in this topic and its psychological impact, and then he got to know this psychology professor.
It turns out that the professor himself is a meditator and has a very good understanding of human psychology and physiology. Xiaolei also benefited a lot from this professor. What is especially important is that Xiaolei learned a set of maintenance methods from the professor. The unique method of psychological calm gives Xiao Lei a strong ability to control his emotions. Even in the most dangerous situations, his emotions can remain very stable.
Not only that, Xiaolei has also mastered a unique trick, by massaging special acupuncture points, he can quickly mobilize various emotions of people. For example, if you are depressed, he can quickly tap your specific acupoints, making your heart suddenly filled with sweet happiness. Feeling; when you are timid and timid, he only needs to press a certain acupuncture point of yours, and your courage will immediately double.
It is said that the psychology professor said that this is a lost "control technique" from an early civilization in the world, which means that if you master this skill, you can control people.
Of course, there are more powerful and advanced methods of this control technique, but they were later lost.)
In short, Xiao Lei's push was very effective. When I looked up at the dead body, although I was still a little scared, my mood was relatively calm.
At this time, those "flying insects with human faces" have crawled all over the face of the dead body. Under the weak fluorescence, only the face of the dead body can be seen, almost completely covered by these weird flying insects, leaving only the mouth of the dead body. Zhang Yihe seemed to be sticking out his tongue, and at the same time he let out a faint, faint chuckle.
From this perspective, the dead body may really be alive.
But what happened next was even more unexpected.
I saw those "human-faced flying insects" clinging tightly to the corpse's face and slowly becoming still. The color of these insects also slowly changed, from the original color to gray, and then to black; Not only did the color change, but what was even more incredible was that the bugs were slowly melting and eventually turned into a gel that grew together with the skin on the corpse's face.
After about ten minutes, these flying insects completely melted away and turned into the skin on the corpse's face. At this time, the corpse's face turned completely black, like an African black man, and the entire face became It was even more twisted and terrifying. In addition, except for the mouth, every part of the face seemed to be able to move.
At this time, not only the expression of the corpse, but also her body began to move. Xiao Lei suddenly turned on the strong flashlight. Under the bright flashlight light, the corpse was dark, uneven, and some parts were The face that was still squirming looked even more ferocious.
At this time, Xiaolei and I noticed that the body seemed to be fixed to the wall by something. It wanted to move but could not, so it began to struggle, and the struggle became more and more fierce.
I became extremely nervous and couldn't help but hold the dagger in my hand and stand ready, because I knew that the historian's friends were killed by the ancient corpses of the Qin Dynasty. Did the old lady's corpse also turn into a corpse? That kind of corpse would be tragic if it were really like that.
Because that kind of corpse, under the influence of the special Yin Qi in the cave, has turned into a monster with particularly strong attack power. If this old lady's corpse breaks free from its restraints, we may be in great danger.
I turned to look at Xiao Lei and found that he took out something from his backpack. It was about the length of an adult's forearm and about the same thickness. Before I could ask, he told me very calmly: "Yes. This thing, we are not afraid of these weird corpses."
"What is this?" I couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It is a miniature flamethrower. The flames it sprays have a temperature of up to a thousand degrees and can melt steel. The spray distance is four meters and can instantly vaporize these corpses filled with yin energy. And, no matter what kind of yin energy it is, Its biggest nemesis is fire, because "fire" is the absolute Yang Qi, so even if this kind of flame cannot be sprayed directly on the corpses, it will still cause them to be severely damaged."
It seems that Xiao Lei was thoughtful. He knew that the ancient corpses of the Qin Dynasty in the cave had extremely sharp attack power, so he brought a flamethrower; he also knew how scary those monsters in the cave were, so he brought a wooden fish; Yes, in order to deal with the half-man, half-goat monster, we brought gas masks; in order to prevent the blind man from sneaking up on us, we brought corpse bugs, although we did not expect that these corpse bugs would undergo such weird changes;
In short, it seems that when Xiao Lei made the plan, it was absolutely watertight. There was really no blind spot at all angles. I couldn’t accept it.
Hearing what he said, I felt confident. I looked at the flamethrower and said excitedly to Xiao Lei: "Oh, you still have this treasure. Why didn't you use it to deal with the blind man earlier? But now It’s not too late, once we encounter a tall blind man here, we will have a powerful weapon.”
Xiao Lei shook his head: "This micro flamethrower is not good for dealing with tall blind people, because this kind of thing reacts too slowly. There is a two-second delay from aiming at an object to emitting flames, and the flames emitted are , it can only last for about three seconds at most, and it cannot be fired continuously. The time between each launch is at least five seconds. You also know that the blind man reacts very quickly, so this thing is completely useless to him, but It's more than enough to deal with these slow-reacting corpses."
I see.
However, I agree with what Xiao Lei said. Under special circumstances, a corpse that transforms into a corpse will not be as sensitive as a living person.
When you calm down mentally, you can observe everything around you more calmly.
The two of us moved a few steps forward, shined our flashlights, and looked carefully at the body to see what was tied there. But what puzzled us was that there were no ropes or nails. , an object that fixes the body to the rock wall.
What is going on?
While we were both puzzled and looking up to observe, there was a sudden bang. I felt something hit me hard in the chest, as if someone had punched me. I suddenly became unsteady on my feet. The boy fell to the ground.
Before I could understand what was going on, Xiao Lei quickly turned off the flashlight and quickly dragged me behind a boulder in the dark.
I subconsciously touched my chest. Oh my God, it turned out to be a small dart embedded in the thick clothes Xiao Lei gave me. I quickly put my hand into the underwear and touched it. Thank God, it turned out to be a small dart. It wasn't penetrated. If Xiao Lei hadn't given me this piece of clothing to wear, I would have died today.
