Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 165 The belt pocket is cowboy style

Puff after puff of dust was lifted into the air, and it fell in clusters like smoke and rain, forming a small mound beside the sweating woman.

After digging for almost an hour, looking around, there are four or five such small mounds piled up here and there.

In my memory, this is indeed the place where the Spring Cherry Snow disappeared; but Lin Sanjiu has already turned over a large layer of surrounding soil, revealing a huge intertwined layer of white rhizomes underneath, but when you look closely, these rhizomes There was not even a shadow inside.

With a warm hope in her chest, it suddenly came to nothing—Lin Sanjiu felt her blood vessels throbbing. She rubbed her swollen temples, not knowing what went wrong.

Or, try another place?
She barely cheered herself up.

Going back to the campsite last night with trembling steps, Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to stop digging for another two hours. Finally, he fell down and sat down on the mound, looking at the sweat and mud all over his body. , bitter in the mouth.

At this moment, in front of her, the earth presented a strange appearance.

The plants that were originally clumps, mixed with bricks, stones and soil, were uprooted together and piled aside; what was exposed were white rhizomes as thick as a locomotive, densely packed into a large area.

It looks like after a person's skin is peeled off, what is exposed is not flesh and blood, but countless white maggots——

But this is only the most superficial layer of the "white radishes". Most of their bodies are still deeply buried in the soil, and it is unknown how deep they have grown downward.

"Could it be that the missing people were sucked into these 'radishes'?" Lin Sanjiu murmured to himself, "If they didn't do it, why would some 'radishes' contain What about the dead..."

There is also a possibility that a person died here, and it may not necessarily be that the "white radish" gradually covered the dead body during the growth process.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu felt that this hypothesis was also reasonable—after all, she had touched these things countless times during the digging process. If the "white radish" really attacked people, why was she still in good shape?

In fact, the easiest way is to find some rats and insects to test; but Lin Sanjiu discovered it just now: even though she digs the soil so vigorously, she has not found even a single insect among the grasses in the soil layer. .

She still remembers the ugly beetle the size of a human being covered with blood-red compound eyes. When she just came out of the Garden of Eden, she could see it several times a day; Popping up——Hui Chuyan occasionally screamed unexpectedly, and was always ridiculed by Xue Quin.

The nests of this kind of beetles are also very disgusting. There are round shallow pits printed one after another in a large round nest. Generally, there are four insects in a nest, which is just enough to hold four human heads.

The reason why Lin Sanjiu is so clear is that she smashed several such empty nests during the process of digging the soil just now.

I don't know when, the bugs in these nests disappeared without a trace like her partners.

She sat on the mound, stretched her feet, stared blankly at the tangled white roots in front of her, and subconsciously counted the time.

Spring Yingxue, Bai Xiaoke and error code 517 disappeared the earliest, and 24 hours have passed by now; although the exact time when the others disappeared is unknown, it has been almost 15 hours since they were discovered...

As soon as the thought turned to this point, Lin Sanjiu immediately slapped himself backhanded.

"I don't care how long they've been gone!" She gritted her teeth fiercely, with a rage showing between her brows. "Live to see people, die to see corpses!"

When digging the soil just now, because he didn't know what these "white radishes" were, Lin Sanjiu was still a little wary of them, so he was always careful when he started, and he didn't even dare to damage their skin.

But now that she's getting ruthless, she doesn't care so much, she picks up the long knife she found from Erguo, and swipes at "White Carrot"——

The hard skin on their surface is not as strong as it looks - Lin Sanjiu felt that his knife had just touched the radish skin, and before he could cut it off, the skin suddenly opened by itself - said it was open, or not. Incorrect, that feels more like "turned open".Just like people need to open their mouths when they eat, the radish skin also opens the mouth, and there are still filaments pulled out of the mucus.

And her long knife fell into the sticky, soft, semi-solid mucus without any hindrance, and the "white radish" immediately closed its skin, as if it contained half of the blade in one bite. mouth.

Lin Sanjiu held the handle of the knife and was stunned for a few seconds—different from the expected "white radish" fragments splashing everywhere, she didn't know what to do for a while.

...want to pull the knife out?Or just go along like this?
Before she could make up her mind, another accident happened to "White Carrot"—with a "crash", the blade was covered with a lot of mucus, and it was pushed out from the opened skin.

The folded radish skin looks exactly the same as before, and it can't be seen that it has been opened.

Uh?
Lin Sanjiu looked at the drenched long knife, then at the white rhizome in front of him. "...Why, you don't like it?"

That was indeed her first reaction.

Taking a closer look, there is more than just mucus hanging on the long knife; there are also some strands of slender rhizomes, which seem to have been brought out after being cut by the knife - they are like fish out of water It struggled and rolled in the air for a while, then hung down and remained still.

This stuff is inexplicably disgusting...

After thinking about it, she grabbed a blade of grass, wiped the long knife clean and put it away, then slowly approached the "white radish" with her arm.

This time, Lin Sanjiu's eyes were fixed on it, not daring to let go of any strangeness.

When I accidentally touched this kind of "white radish" before, they would tremble slightly, but Lin Sanjiu didn't pay attention, thinking it was because they were related to life; but after watching carefully now, she Only then can we see clearly the process of "shaking".

When her arm was close to the radish skin, a small area was slightly opened—in the gap, groups of thin roots wrapped in mucus could be seen clearly, as if the brain had been cut open, revealing the nerves inside.

A thin root tendril protruded a head out of the gap tentatively, but for some reason, before the mucus hanging on it dripped, the root tendril retracted quickly, and the radish skin closed, "White Carrot" trembled slightly, and it looked as if nothing had happened.

Lin Sanjiu stared at all this dumbfounded, unable to utter a sound.

She raised her arm and tried several places, and the "white radish" in every place had almost the same reaction.After trying it once, no matter how close she got, or even put her hand on it, she still didn't get the slightest response.

"What the hell is this thing?" Lin Sanjiu punched the "white radish", causing it to open a small hole again, and then looked around a little helplessly.

Although there were no insects to experiment with, she almost believed that both humans and animals were involved in these "white radishes"—but they didn't know why, but they refused to attack her.

It would be great if someone came to verify her thoughts...With her by her side, nothing will happen...

I thought so, but Lin Sanjiu also knew that it was impossible.

Because the range of the "base" detected by [Frisbee for Dogs] has long since expanded compared to last night's camping—Lin Sanjiu can be sure that if she runs to the point where [Frisbee for Dogs] can show If you start digging on the edge of the soil, you will definitely find the same "white radish".

These things seem to be constantly growing forward at an extremely fast speed.

"Should I call Gong Daoyi?" Lin Sanjiu thought of the only person she could contact, "That guy is quite powerful, he should at least be able to protect himself..."

She sat down facing the "white radish", called out the paper crane, and rubbed it back and forth in her hands, not knowing why she was hesitating.

Today's radiation cloud is not thick, and it is the time when the sun is high, the sunlight dyes the strange scene around her with a bright warmth, even the "white radish" looks a bit crystal clear .

Under such sunlight, if a few long shadows suddenly appeared around him, it would be very conspicuous.

Lin Sanjiu leapt up, and when she turned around, the long knife was tightly held in her hand.

No matter who is able to come behind her so silently, it is definitely not easy to get along with——

However, as soon as her eyes fell on the uninvited guest behind her, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief - Lin Sanjiu herself did not expect that she actually knew the visitor.

No wonder he walked without a sound, and came to the back without even saying hello——

"Why are you..." She didn't feel bad for the visitor, but she still had to guard against it. "Could it be that Nu Wa asked you to attack me again?"

On the two-meter-high torsos of the two behind them, two pairs of arms grew on the left and right, and their heads were in the shape of almonds—it was Montesquieu and Aristotle, two of the "newcomers" created by Nuwa.

Montesquieu seemed to understand what she meant, and shook his head slightly but obviously—its blue-gray skin, with a shiny texture shining in the sun, reminded Lin Sanjiu of dolphins.

I don't know if it was because she was under too much pressure alone, but this time when she met the sages, she felt a little familiar: "...Then why are you here? If other evolutionaries saw it, would you Attack you as a fallen species."

Judging from Nu Wa's previous behavior, it was clear that they were hidden on the top of the black tower—this time, for some reason, the sages walked outside in a fair manner.

Aristotle nodded upon hearing this, not knowing whether to agree with her or to express his gratitude for her concern—then, Montesquieu took out a folded piece of paper from a belt pocket on his body, and handed it to her. Lin Sanjiu.
