Chapter 36 Chapter 36
Mu Chengrui looked through the gap, and the wound was obviously caused by sharp teeth or claws.His heart started beating violently, and his first reaction was a zombie.He glanced at Zhang Yanliang and found that the other party had the same guess as him.
The accompanying doctor checked the condition of the injured, and after the bleeding was stopped, they were carried to a medical tent for rescue. As for whether they survived, it depended on their fate.When the crowd dispersed, Chief Lin called the students who were present at the time to understand the situation.
This time, two men and one woman were injured. According to the students who knew the situation, they usually have a good relationship. This time, I don't know who proposed to take an adventure in the woods.Originally, young people's minds were restless. Seeing that someone was walking through the woods without any danger, they all made up their minds in this regard.These two men and one woman are just one of the most common ones.But who would have thought that not long after they went out, they ran back covered in blood, and the people nearby saw a gray figure. They didn't know if it was afraid of people, but when they saw them running back to the open space, they swished disappeared.
After Chief Lin learned of the situation, he immediately imposed martial law around the open space, and the students were not allowed to step out of the open space.Chief Lin has no time to supervise Mu Chengrui and the others now, because of this sudden incident, Mu Chengrui and the others decided to see the situation before talking.
Professor Li and the chief were all in the medical tent, waiting for the doctor's examination results. Mu Chengrui and Zhang Yanliang also followed.
Once inside the canopy, it was found that they were passing around a clear jar containing some scales. "This is found from them. According to preliminary judgment, it should be some kind of amphibian." The doctor pushed the eyes on the bridge of the nose and said.
But some people immediately raised objections, "Amphibious animals live in tropical rainforest areas with abundant rainfall. The Far North Forest is located in the north, where the temperature is cold. Except for the northern plant ecosystem, there are very few such amphibians."
"Now we can't rely on the biological knowledge of the past. Now is an extraordinary period. Before we entered the forest, it was raining and the sky was dark outside, but once we entered the forest, all the rainwater was isolated from the outside, just like the top of our heads. There is a natural water storage system. Maybe there are large ponds and swamps in places we can't see."
"If that's the case, how can there be dry trees in the forest. Ponds and swamps are obviously not established."
"I said it's a place we can't see. If we see it, do we still need to discuss it here?"
Professor Li saw that everyone would not be able to discuss for a while, so he had to ask the doctor about the nail tablets again.
"I trust my judgment."
Professor Li nodded, and then said that the discussion was over, and the teachers who were in the medical tent also left one after another.The doctor also went to help the students. In the end, only Mu Chengrui, Zhang Yanliang, the chief and the professor were left in the tent.Chief Lin looked at the transparent jar, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Mayor Mu, you have seen a lot, and I don't know what you think about this." Professor Li asked him.
"I'm not good at biological knowledge, and I don't know what it is. Just looking at the wounds on the three students, I'm more inclined to be a zombie."
"Zombie?"
Professor Li expressed doubts, "The zombies we experienced moved very slowly, and since we entered the forest, they have never appeared again. There are no zombies that can disguise as humans as Mayor Mu said. Just To be honest with you, this is not the first time we have been attacked by this monster, but each time the substance extracted from the wounded is different, the last time it was feathers, and the other time it was slime. The point of view of all of us is , maybe those animals have completed their racial evolution, and now they are attacking us humans."
Mu Chengrui frowned, "If that's the case, why don't you leave the forest."
Professor Li and Chief Lin glanced at each other, "It's not that we don't want to leave, but that we can't."
What's the meaning?If it is said that the rumors about this forest are true, and there is some kind of magical power that makes people unable to get out, he does not believe it.Since Zhang Yanliang said that he had entered this forest in his previous life and finally came out, it means that there is definitely a way to get out.As for the guys who disappeared or died every year when he entered the forest every year when he was the mayor, he only thought that there must be some secrets in this forest.And some people didn't want the secret to be made public, so those people went into the forest and those who came into contact with the secret were forced to disappear or die.
But if there are such monsters that tear people apart and eat human flesh...
"It's just that whenever we want to leave the jungle or get close to the edge of the jungle, these monsters appear. Every time they just attack, they don't want to eat us. I think there is a threat in this behavior. They are They plan to keep us in captivity."
This is not necessarily too evil.Just as the other party did not believe in the high-level zombies that he said could hide in the crowd, Mu Chengrui also did not believe in the theory that there are evolutionaries in various groups that the other party said.
"To be honest, the purpose of our team is not to get out of this forest, but to collect samples and do research in this forest. But this situation suddenly changed a week ago. As long as we are close to the edge of the forest, we will be attacked It's as if something is driving us to the center of the forest. So we have no choice but to keep moving into the depths of the forest. Whenever we approach the center of the forest, the constant sense of peeping and unpredictable attacks will be eased."
Maybe because they didn't believe it, Professor Li said again: "In this way, you can go to the depths of the forest with us first, and after the arrangement is complete, you can try to experiment at the edge of the forest." Mu Chengrui and Zhang Yanliang exchanged opinions After a glance, I understood what the other party meant.So he agreed to act with the large army for the time being, and we will discuss the matter of leaving the large army and passing through the forest later.
In the afternoon, everyone packed up their luggage in a tacit understanding and gathered in the open space.All the tents were put down, and He Qing, the military's second-in-command, took them into the space.And took out three stretchers to place the bitten classmate.
Mu Chengrui felt that the trip was not a good thing for these injured students, but Ye Chengqing secretly told him that the military and the professors of the three were planning to give up, and they probably only needed to be buried when they arrived at the next location.Maybe it's because I'm used to it. On everyone's faces, I only see fear and confusion about the future, but I don't panic.
They packed up their things and let Ye Chengqing put them away.Judging from what Zhang Yanliang meant, Mu Chengrui didn't seem to want to reveal his space, so Mu Chengrui didn't speak.Everyone was in a low mood along the way, with the professors leading the way and the military at the end. A team of about two or three hundred marched mightily into the depths of the jungle.
The road was very peaceful, and when we reached the next clearing, it happened to be getting dark.This open space is not as big as the previous open space. Everyone set up the tents very densely. After setting up the tents, they started to prepare dinner. As usual, it was rice with vegetables, but Mu Chengrui and the others followed Ye Chengqing in their own tent and ate and added minced meat. vegetable porridge.
After eating the porridge, Mu Chengrui went out to look around, and queued up for a bowl of porridge, but he didn't see Professor Li and the others.
"Do you think they really eat this kind of grass and white porridge like this group of students? They have their own small stove. Don't worry about them, and I think the porridge is getting less and less, and even the water is getting less and less , I’m afraid we won’t even be able to supply a bowl of water in the future. I don’t think there’s much food left in the military’s warehouse.” Ye Chengqing glanced at the porridge in his hand and said.
"What will you do without food?"
"Who knows?"
The good news is that when Qin Molin woke up later and asked him about that night, he seemed to have amnesia, and he couldn't even remember how to get to the forest.Mu Chengrui told him not to force himself, and the most important thing is to have no worries about his life.
On the second day, the students' emotions were slowly recovering. They seemed to have forgotten that there were still unknown monsters watching them, and some people walked into the woods in twos and threes.
Mu Chengrui felt that this was very dangerous, and suggested to Professor Li that everyone should not leave the open space, and to defend the place.They didn't think so.
"After those monsters attacked us, unless we insisted on going out of the jungle, they would not attack us again." Professor Li said lightly.
"Don't you want to find out?" Like exploring the secrets of the forest with them.
"How do you know that we haven't done any research in this area? We have worked hard to come to these conclusions. You know how many precious lives have been lost. And the conclusion is to stop thinking about it, honestly. stay in the forest."
But there will always be a day when the food will run out.
"We'll talk about that day."
When it came to the end, Professor Li was obviously agitated. Mu Chengrui felt that he couldn't reason with these researchers, and he was unwilling to spend more time talking.After discussing with Zhang Yanliang, I decided to wander around the edge of the forest to see if it was really what Professor Li and the others said.
"I calculated it. It took us five days to travel, and we took the longest line in the Yaobei forest. But we don't go the same way, we walk in a horizontal direction, and we can reach the edge of the forest in about two or three days. , so that the time it takes to come can be walked back and forth.”
After specifying the route, Mu Chengrui and the others decided to set off.Tongtong and the weak Qin Molin were left in the open space.Ye Chengqing said that he often exercised nearby and was familiar with the terrain, so he wanted to go with them.Mu Chengrui's forest exploration operation was approved by Professor Li. When they heard that Ye Chengqing joined, the military's face was not very good.But looking at the hostages, he finally agreed with the four of them to leave.
