Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Bai Ning quickly put this overly subjective guess behind him. After all, the secret in the outpost research base was just a key, used to unlock the secrets of the Tunguska region.

Regardless of whether the ones attacking the camp tonight are the products of genetic modification, killing them all will give you the right to continue exploring. If you die here, you will have nothing.

After more than ten minutes, the herd of animals coming from this direction gradually thinned out, and the empty space was covered with animal carcasses. The fresh blood was particularly strong in the nose, and even the desperadoes who had been killed for a long time were a little unbearable.

A very strange smell of blood, as if there was something special about the corpse inside.

Commander Bai Ning took a torch and took a closer look, but found nothing special. Even the reindeer that could withstand a few shots of 12.7mm bullets were no different from the giant wild boars.

He picked up a dagger and cut open the reindeer carcass with difficulty. The meat was tight and the connective tissue was strong. If the knife had not been sharp, it would not have been damaged at all.

He used the knife to stir up the still warm blood in the reindeer's body. A wisp of bright red slid down the blade, turning the bright dagger into darkness wherever it passed.

This is not because the blood quickly solidifies on the blade, but because some substance in the deer's blood reacts with the iron, forming a black covering layer.

Is this special substance present in the blood of reindeer the key to the excessive stench of the blood here?

The ability to mutate the blood of reindeer, in addition to being explained through genetic modification, Bai Ning thinks it should also be related to the special geographical environment of the Tunguska region.

It may even be related to the outpost research base here.

What the Soviets operated here may have had a far greater impact on the animals here than expected.

Bai Ning, who was frowning deeply, turned around and left. When he met Gogol who was standing aside and watching the excitement, he just smiled and seemed to be completely indifferent to Bai Ning's investigation just now.

Gogol must be aware of the fact that reindeer blood stinks, otherwise he would not be so indifferent.

However, does his research on this matter allow him to be so calm?

"You should be very aware of the abnormality of reindeer blood, right?

You have to reveal a little bit about the harmfulness of these things, right? "

"poisonous.

The heavy metals in deer blood seriously exceed the standard, and it also contains a special enzyme protein that can quickly destroy the human oral mucosa, causing people to die painfully from the poisoning reaction. "

Facing Bai Ning's inquiry, Gogol responded calmly, the content of which made the nearby desperadoes look sideways and solemn.

A large number of mutated reindeer carcasses contaminated the beast carcasses, which was equivalent to depriving the camp of a very important food source.

However, the reason why Gogol did not take the initiative to mention it is obviously because the harm of deer blood is mainly concentrated in raw drinking. If it is properly protected and cooked properly, there should be no problem even if it is consumed in small amounts.

"We will break camp and leave tomorrow, what else do you think we should pay attention to tonight?

Ivan's men have limited physical strength and energy and cannot withstand continuous torture. "

Although Gogol behaves strangely and has a twisted personality, he will also reveal some key information at important moments. Bai Ning takes the opportunity to ask for an overview.

“A beast is a beast, what should we pay attention to?

With the inherent firepower in the camp, one night is nothing. "

After Gogol finished speaking, he left directly without any delay, as if he really didn't know any other information.

"I think he is hiding some secrets.

If danger comes tonight, there will definitely be a tough battle to be fought. "

Looking at Gogol's leaving figure, Jiang Yingxue also came over at the right time and expressed her views slowly.

“Indeed, tonight is our final test to the outpost research base.

I think that the danger in the base may be far greater than expected, and it cannot be explained by some beasts at all.

In his opinion, if you can't even withstand the current biological danger, you are not qualified to explore the outpost research base with him. "

Bai Ning's answer had a somewhat gloomy tone, as if he had just realized Gogol's dangerous characteristics.

"It seems that we have been suppressed for long enough. Do we really need to be held in his hands?"

"His character is such that we can't change the basic strong pattern, we can only adapt as much as possible.

Even if the relationship between me and him is maintained well on the surface, it is only a superficial relationship.

Perhaps, in his opinion, there is no difference between us and the explorers whose bones are buried here. "

Bai Ning's expression remained calm, but the connotation in his words suddenly became deep and pessimistic, which made Jiang Yingxue feel a little uncomfortable.

In an instant, her heart was suddenly startled, and she seemed to realize some major crisis.

"Are you saying that tonight's disaster is inevitable for us?"

Jiang Yingxue's face was also full of solemnity, and Ivan, who was watching the study from the side of the camp, was also sweating.

What could have predicted tonight's major crisis?

The attacks of the beasts in the past few days have been very regular. Even if the attack rhythm suddenly increased, it has not reached the moment of desperate attacks.

However, there was no doubt about the accuracy of Bai Ning's premonition. It must have been the mutant reindeer that made him notice something.

"No way.

Just some reindeer with poisonous blood, what could that mean?

It can't be that these reindeer are relatives of giant wild boars, and killing them will completely arouse the anger of the wild boar herds, right? "

Even though he was wary, Ivan still felt a little incredible. While Bai Ning wasn't leaving, he took the opportunity to strike up a few words.

"That's right.

There is a delicate territorial balance between animals. Mutant reindeer cannot be easily driven by giant wild boars. These mutant reindeer killed by us may just be a trap set by the wild boar king for us.

It's not clever, but it does work. "

Bai Ning's glance over made Ivan regret his frivolity, but what followed was so shocking that Ivan was a little at a loss.

If giant wild boars are really so smart, what's the deal with humans in this area of ​​Tunguska?

These wild boars should replace humans and become the spirit of all things deep in this dense forest.

Such thoughts just passed by in a flash, and Ivan had some self-deprecating thoughts in his mind:

Aren't these wild boars cleaning up humans in an orderly manner?

The so-called arrogant spirits of all things are just like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, imprisoned in a narrow corner, anxiously looking forward to the sun rising again tomorrow.

No longer making some insignificant resistance, Ivan immediately gathered his energy and began to check the defense situation of various camps with a high level of energy, to be on guard against some deserting bastards destroying the entire camp.

But for the tired body, the short-term explanation will only bring temporary clarity. With the silent invasion of darkness and silence, fatigue is like the most deadly poison, ruthlessly eroding the thin body.

The bonfires in the camp were still burning brightly, and the fiery red flames seemed to purify everything here, making the smelly blood become thinner and thinner. The cool and fragrant forest breath seemed to wrap around the entire camp again.

Suddenly, the slight vibrations on the ground increased rapidly, so fast that everyone seemed to have no time to wake up from their drowsiness.

Panic exclamations resounded throughout the camp, and Ivan's rough voice was full of anger, urging all the dozing desperadoes to hurry up and get ready for battle.

This all-too-familiar trembling feeling was too terrifying, and the crazy surge of adrenaline put all the desperadoes into the best fighting state immediately.

A large number of awakened desperadoes also quickly rushed out of the tents, staring deeply at the shadows in the surrounding dense forest. The shadows were so heavy that they could not tell the direction of the future. The unknown, like an abyss, made it difficult to feel uneasy in their hearts. suppressed.

Is it true that as Bai Ning said, the beast herd's general attack will be tonight? !

After waking up from a half-dream and staring at the objects shaking around him, Bai Ning just sighed deeply and quickly walked out of the tent.

He also glanced at the shadowy forest illuminated by the campfire, and the first person Bai Ning looked for could only be Gogol.

What surprised Bai Ning was that in the face of such a huge movement from the beasts, Gogol lay calmly in the tent with his eyes closed to meditate.

The objects dumped around him seemed meaningless. For Gogol, nothing was more important than the moment of peace.

You know, no matter how weird Gogol's behavior is, no matter how unpredictable his emotional changes are, he will never have a moment to lie down.

Gogol's desire to survive is stronger than anyone else. This is an absolute fact that has been confirmed countless times!

"Are you so confident about the camp's defensive capabilities?"

The unusual behavior forced Bai Ning to believe that Gogol was preparing for his subsequent escape.

His indifference at this time was just deliberately creating an opportunity for himself to be alone.

Bai Ning's question was straightforward and decisive, with no intention of caring about his face.

He opened one eye slightly and glanced at Bai Ning. A strange smile briefly appeared on his face. Gogol showed no intention of paying attention to Bai Ning.

If you say he is confident, then he is confident;

If you say he is waiting for a price, then he is waiting for a price;

If you say he is deliberately avoiding it, then he is deliberately avoiding it.

The very complex interpretation of emotional fluctuations made Bai Ning feel unsure for the first time.

"You know what I want to do with you. You know the pattern of the herds in the outpost research base best. You are the only one who has the right to say how to deal with them correctly.

At such a critical moment, isn't it a bit irresponsible for you to live leisurely here instead of leading the defensive pattern on the field?

Our current goals are the same, but they are all to obtain the secrets of the Tunguska region.

Whenever danger comes, if you all choose risk-free escape strategies, you will always be trapped here, always one step away from the ultimate goal.

In other words, any gain comes with absolute risks. If you just want to sit back and enjoy the gains, your dreams may come true in the end. "

It’s hard to say what Gogol’s specific thoughts are now, but with some fixed provocation patterns, there is a high probability that the topic range between the two parties can continue to be expanded.
