Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Bai Ning, who always got up early, couldn't see anything unusual, but Jiang Yingxue's face looked a little tired. It seemed that the quality of her sleep last night was not very good.

In addition to the occasional feeble chatting by the desperadoes in the camp, even the snoring seemed feeble. After breakfast in silence, Bai Ning ordered Ivan to lead a group of desperadoes to clean up the carcasses of the herd outside the camp.

In addition to collecting fresh meat, some useless carcass remains must be burned centrally to prepare for scavengers.

After finishing breakfast and drinking a few sips of strong tea, Jiang Yingxue's mental state improved. There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"In a few days, I can't even patrol the area near the camp. Are you really prepared for some great luck to fall on your head?"

In the end, Jiang Yingxue couldn't bear to speak, or perhaps the damage done to her by mental pollution had reached the threshold, forcing her to speak to relieve her irritability.

Faced with such a question, Bai Ning still did not answer immediately. He hesitated for a long time before he could respond with a few words:

"Spiritual pollution is very harmful to us, and even more harmful to animals. I think the spontaneous combustion of animals that happened here is due to mental pollution.

We are indeed waiting for some great luck here. If the phenomenon of spontaneous animal combustion can really cause some strange phenomena, maybe this is our chance. "

This is probably the result of Bai Ning's thinking last night, a deeper thought on the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion in animals.

Regarding Bai Ning's speculation, Jiang Yingxue also instantly recalled a branch of sleep deprivation experiments. Some experimental subjects who were mentally tortured would eventually fall into a state of spontaneous combustion in the human body.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yingxue suddenly realized that Bai Ning had not taught Ivan's men how to resist mental pollution. This act of letting it go was not only the intention to create a control group, but also the idea of ​​creating a case of spontaneous human combustion. inside.

For that ultimate goal, Bai Ning seemed taciturn at this time, with a calm expression, but in fact he was already in the craziest stage of trying.

For such a crazy Bai Ning, Jiang Yingxue would doubt his ability to act. This is a completely unfounded joke.

"Didn't you say that spiritual pollution has a certain positive effect on giant creatures?

If their spontaneous combustion process is slower than that of humans, do we really have a chance to use spontaneous combustion to perform miracles? "

Jiang Yingxue's worries were not unreasonable, which actually made Bai Ning turn to look at her.

"An opportunity is an opportunity. Whether you can grasp it or not, it is an opportunity."

After Bai Ning responded, he stopped talking. The atmosphere in the venue fell silent again. The skylight shone through the mist, revealing the strange and dazzling feeling of time distortion.

It seems that mental pollution is changing everything here, including time and space.

The desperadoes continued to sort out the surroundings of the camp until noon. Ivan ran over to report the basic situation. There were too many animal carcasses and remains, and it was not possible to burn them all at once.

Not only that, Ivan also reported a small detail. Many of the piled up corpses seemed to be decaying very quickly, especially in the depressions where blood gathered, and there was a faint smell of spoilage.

Because the damage effect of heavy firearms was too complete and there were too many damaged animal carcasses, it was impossible to determine whether they were devoured by scavengers.

Faced with such a strange situation, it can only be regarded as scavengers lurking in the dark. The ferocious nature of scavengers is secondary, and the most important threat is the virus they carry.

If the decay of a large number of corpses breeds the spread of the plague, none of them here will want to go back alive.

At Bai Ning's signal, Ivan stepped up the process of burning the corpses. There was no need to sort the piles of corpses, just lay the wood and burn them.

However, this accelerated burning is a huge threat to the security of the camp. A large number of buried explosives near the camp must be excavated first. Once the herd makes any major changes, they will lose the most important comprehensive barrier. .

There are advantages and disadvantages. Compared with the plague caused by scavengers, Bai Ning gave priority to burning corpses.

“What to do with the fresh meat obtained by Ivan’s men?

These things were left outside the camp overnight, and no one knew whether scavengers had contaminated them. "

Seeing Ivan's back hurriedly leaving, Jiang Yingxue said something coldly, as a precautionary measure.

Sometimes the spread of viruses makes no sense at all. Cooks will come into contact with fresh flesh and blood when handling ingredients. If they are not careful, they will become the first source of infection.

"The big mistake has been made, and it is impossible to regret it. I just hope that Ivan's luck will be better, and the fresh meat he brought back in advance will be clean."

Bai Ning looked solemn, knowing that the time he had might have been further compressed.

Staying here for a long time is already a luxury, let alone wanting to leave this dangerous place calmly.

Because Ivan publicized the possibility of scavengers contaminating meat, the faces of a group of desperadoes who were happily eating meat suddenly changed. Although they did not vomit on the spot, the delicacies on the plate seemed to have turned into a pile of poison.

The despised convenience food became a delicacy again. After simply eating some, the desperadoes had no choice but to continue burning the corpses outside the camp listlessly.

The scorching smell produced by improper combustion quickly permeated the entire camp, and thick black smoke shot straight into the sky. It seemed that the place suddenly turned into a doomsday crematorium, emitting a desperate flickering fire.

The most indispensable thing in this area is wood. Amidst the roar of chain saws, a large number of trees fell down, turning into raging flames and dissipating under the vast blue sky.

As large areas of trees were knocked down and burned, the area around the camp gradually became empty. The fire dragons entwining around the camp seemed to separate human civilization from the endless wilderness.

However, the fire will eventually extinguish, and no one knows what kind of disaster will befall the entire camp in the future.

The process of burning the corpses continued until late at night. The long-term fatigue caused the desperadoes to go to bed very early. The firelight made the camp still as bright as day. The thick burnt smell had long since dissipated, leaving only a faint smell of smoke. Lingering, revealing a little flavor of local fireworks.

Jiang Yingxue, who had not participated in too much labor, still had trouble falling asleep. Although she had been trying to fall asleep all day, the stubborn excitement in her fatigue made all her attempts fail.

Looking at Bai Ning who was still lying on the folding chair, Jiang Yingxue still didn't understand why the man next to her could be so calm.

The threat of giant creatures has not dissipated, scavengers have also faintly appeared near the camp, and the mental pollution covering the entire core area of ​​the explosion is torturing everyone here.

Even though the desperadoes could still eat and sleep at this time, if they continued to be tortured like this, these desperadoes who could only lick blood from the edge of the knife would go crazy sooner or later.

With such a clear crisis, Jiang Yingxue wanted to pry open Bai Ning's mind to see what kind of strange ideas were hidden in his mind.

“Will there be another night attack by the herd tonight?

Or will scavengers come to the camp at night to look for food? "

Taking advantage of the security issue tonight, Jiang Yingxue asked casually.

After the inquiry, there was a long silence as usual, as if Bai Ning had fallen deeply into trance by closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Tonight may be the most peaceful night, if you want to sleep, don't drink the tea in the cup.

Delusions lead to a state of entrapment by tiring the nervous system, which is futile under the influence of mental contamination.

If my prediction is correct, mental pollution will reduce the activity of the human nervous system to a certain extent, but it will make the human nervous system more durable.

Not only that, mental pollution will also cross the brain's self-preservation mechanism, allowing the nervous system to burn indefinitely.

Either take care of your nervous system quietly, or wait until you run out of energy. These are your choices later. "

Hearing Bai Ning's unemotional response, Jiang Yingxue suddenly felt a little funny. It was the first time for everyone to experience this kind of all-round mental pollution, so they really couldn't ask for too much from Bai Ning.

The fatigue situation still spreads in the camp, and the snoring at night is sparse and discontinuous. Many desperadoes just fall asleep briefly because of physical fatigue, and then fall into an extremely speechless half-tired and half-awake state.

Even though Bai Ning is trying his best to maintain inner peace, sleep seems to have become a luxury, not something you can have if you want it.

I don't know if he fell asleep or not. Anyway, the sun came very quickly the next day, and the morning fog became thicker. Even if the campfire was still strong, the lounge chair under Bai Ning was still partially moistened by dew.

With his eyes half open, he casually glanced at the surroundings and found that Ivan was still working tirelessly to deliver the wood. It seemed that all the credit for the campfire not extinguishing was his.

The severe sleep disorder really caused Ivan to collapse. He could only gain short-term peace in the process of constantly adding wood.

A moment of peace brings a moment of sleep, and a moment of sleep is followed by endless irritability and sleepiness, which is indeed a bit unbearable for Ivan.

But every time he saw Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue lying next to the campfire, Ivan felt that he was too weak to overcome such basic difficulties?

Bai Ning wasn't sure about Ivan's thoughts, but it was obvious that mental pollution had had a certain effect on Ivan's torture.

Grandpa Gogol's notes and Ivan's dreams are the breakthrough points for Bai Ning to express his expectations. Judging from the feedback in the past few days, it is no longer possible to expect Ivan to take the initiative to confess the important details in his dreams. At present, he can only resort to mental pollution. Let’s torture Ivan about the negative effects.
