Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The [-]th day after the invasion·【Second update】The atmosphere is right, the occasion is wrong, and the environment is wrong.

Du Nanrong quickly realized that it was probably the stones he threw earlier and the movement of scooping up the mud that attracted those piranhas.

In addition, there are still wounds on his hands, and the smell of blood on the gauze must have attracted those things.

Du Nanrong was a little annoyed, it was because he was too careless, he just wanted to make sure that there were no living things under the water, and he assumed everything would be fine.

Cheng Sheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's dig some mud elsewhere."

He pointed to the small yellow flowers that grew not far away, clusters of them, growing very well.

"Commonly known as chicken leg grass, its scientific name is Fanbaicao." Cheng Sheng said.

Du Nanrong looked at him blankly.

Cheng Sheng grabbed it and brushed away the mud and dust on it, revealing the thick and thick rhizomes.

"Taste." He brought the grass root to Du Nanrong's mouth.

Du Nanrong was stunned, eating grass?

He laughed dryly, looked at the doctor: "Is the doctor kidding me?"

Cheng Sheng rolled his eyes, thinking that he seems to be the type who can joke with people?

Before he could speak again, Duan Yi leaned over and bit off the green grass root with Cheng Sheng's hand.

"The root of the white grass stores a lot of water, there is almost no peculiar smell, and it even has a little sweetness in the mouth." Cheng Sheng said, "This kind of white grass is a very common wild vegetable. It is estimated that many children living in rural areas, when they were young, I've tasted it while I was in the skin."

He looked to Duan Yi for confirmation, and Duan Yi nodded expressionlessly.

Du Nanrong: "..."

"The root system of the white grass stores a lot of water, so it is very suitable for eating when there is no water source." Cheng Sheng said casually, and then said, "We will dig down where it grows, so we don't need to dig too much. It's deep, and muddy water will seep out soon."

When he explained to Du Nanrong, Duan Yi had already led people to start digging.

When Duan Yi saw Cheng Sheng trying to eat grass roots for Du Nanrong, he had already realized Cheng Sheng's intention.

After snatching the grass root, he immediately started digging on the spot.It didn't take long for water to seep from the mud cracks in the small pit they dug.

With the muddy water, a group of people began to smear mud on their bodies, and applied a thick layer, evenly in place, without leaking anywhere.

Lin Qian called out there: "Du Gong Du Gong, help me, help me put mud on my back."

The two little girls, Du Jingshu and Xu Ying, hid behind the big tree to wipe themselves. With Xu Ying taking care of them and helping them, nothing would happen in such a short time.

Luo Xiaonan was pressed down by several big men and wiped mud all over his body. He rubbed the little boy who loves to be clean till his eyes were watering. He was reluctant to hug his clean plush bear.

"Duan Yi, come and help me." Cheng Sheng said.

Duan Yi paused for a moment, then walked over immediately, holding a handful of mud in his hand, and gently rubbed the doctor's delicate and fair back.

Cheng Sheng lowered his eyes, and when Duan Yi's hand touched his back with the cool mud, he couldn't help shivering.

"Cold?" Duan Yi asked.

Cheng Sheng didn't know whether it was because of the temperature or the touch of Duan Yi's palm, he gave a vague "hmm" and lowered his head slightly, revealing the beautiful curve of the back of his neck.

Duan Yi saw that the skin on the back of Cheng Sheng's neck was not evenly applied, so he rubbed his hands to warm it up.

The back of Cheng Sheng's neck was extremely sensitive, and he didn't expect Duan Yi to wipe it there suddenly. He trembled so hard that he almost snorted.

——If you really hum, you will really be ashamed to face people.

The tips of the doctor's ears were red with embarrassment, but fortunately they were covered with mud, so they were so dark that they couldn't be seen.

Duan Yi's hands paused, he was serious about checking for the doctor's omissions and filling in the gaps, he didn't expect that the piece of skin there would be the doctor's sensitive area.

He also had some embarrassment on his face, coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Am I continuing?"

"Do what you should do." Cheng Sheng pursed his lips and said.

This question was asked, as if the two of them were doing something inappropriate.

Look at Lin Qian, Du Nanrong, Zhang Jiuzhang, and Luo Xiaonan over there. These big men wipe mud on each other, and it's almost like a mud fight. It's just him and Duan Yi, rubbing and rubbing, it seems that something is not right stand up.

Cheng Sheng grabbed a handful of mud, snorted and said, "I'll wipe it off for you too, turn around."

Duan Yi saw that Cheng Sheng's back was wiped evenly and thickly enough, and when he heard this, he turned around obediently, revealing a large area of ​​strong but scarred back skin.

Cheng Sheng was taken aback for a moment, especially the large scar that seemed to be twisted up, which made it hard for him to imagine the circumstances under which this happened.

He involuntarily stretched out his hand to caress the wound.

Duan Yi felt Cheng Sheng's focused gaze behind him, he paused, and said, "This is left after that mission."

"That time?" Cheng Sheng said subconsciously, but soon he realized that it was probably the time Lin Qian said in the first place.

——After that time, Duan Yi retreated to the research compound and became the "security director" of the research compound.

Lin Qian once mentioned that the success rate and survival rate of the missions led by Duan Yi are the highest in the entire army record, and almost no subordinates were lost. This is why all soldiers admire and trust Duan Yi.

Only once, when Duan Yi was on a mission, the entire team completely lost contact after a few days; more than ten days later, Duan Yi suddenly appeared at the gate of the base covered in blood, behind him was pulling a cart with piles of All the men who went out with him on missions.

When the medical emergency team rushed to the scene, Duan Yi passed out, and the subordinates on the carts were also in a coma state. All of them were seriously injured, and Duan Yi's injury was the most terrible.

His entire back seemed to be turned upside down, and it was unknown what creature caused it.It took nearly two days of operation time just to suture the wound on Duan Yi's back.

After Duan Yi woke up, the people under him either died before the operation was over, or survived but went crazy.

No one knew what accident happened in that mission, and Duan Yi, who was the only one who could communicate normally, kept silent.

This incident became a "legend" in the entire army battalion. The scene of Duan Yi showing up at the gate of the base with a carload of people covered in blood that day was also passed on in a decent manner and became more and more mysterious.

When they first met Zhang Jiuzhang, the other party also mentioned that task, but at that time, it was obvious that they took this matter as a pain in the foot and stimulated their group.

Cheng Sheng took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

Duan Yi shook his head slightly, looked down at Cheng Sheng, gently rubbed the back of the man's neck, and said in a low voice: "My memory was missing and disordered during that mission."

"I only remember the things before entering the miasma, and some scattered fragments."

"You have entered the miasma?" Cheng Sheng opened his eyes slightly, but he was not particularly surprised.

No wonder Duan Yi's reaction was so strange before, no wonder those warnings and arrangements were unexpectedly meticulous.

Duan Yi responded, he pursed his lips and looked not far ahead, and said in a low voice: "Actually, the miasma we entered is very close to here, I'm not sure if it's the same one."

When Duan Yi's team first entered the Tibetan forest area, due to the different starting points, there is no specific geographic location data. Even Duan Yi, it is difficult to determine whether it is the same place.

Cheng Sheng frowned slightly: "Why do you want to enter the miasma?"

"Because of a team of geologists who want to study miasma." Duan Yi raised the corner of his mouth coldly.

Cheng Sheng paused and took a light breath: "Is that the team of geologists I mentioned earlier to investigate the miasma? Are you the escorting armed security team?"

Duan Yi nodded slightly.

Cheng Sheng didn't know what to say for a while, he pursed his lips slightly, and said "sorry" dully, his previous example was simply rubbing salt on Duan Yi's wound.

Duan Yi gently pinched the back of Cheng Sheng's neck, stroking the man's shivering neck because of sensitivity: "You didn't know it was related to me at the time, so you don't need to apologize."

"Du Nanrong's daughter said that the fissures in the ground line where the miasma is coming out are very unstable and may close at any time, and this is the basic common sense that any geologist expert knows."

Duan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice was cold, "But when we went down, no one raised any objections. Even this road was chosen by those geological experts."

"Du Jingshu is right, such cracks are very unstable." Duan Yi said hoarsely.

"The two accompanying research assistants in the team were locked into the closed gap."

"I was only one hand away from them. I lay on the ground and heard the crisp sound of their bones being crushed by the cracks in the ground being closed again."

"However, even though two people died before the start of the mission, we still entered the miasma. The place where the miasma disappears or forms is also the place where the miasma is thinnest. We enter from there."

"What happens after entering the miasma is the real nightmare."

"The fragments I remember are scattered, and it is difficult to give any useful information." Duan Yi closed his eyes.

His voice was low and cold: "But I only remember that kind of fear that makes people tremble."

"My men, they are all the best soldiers, and their mental perseverance is far beyond ordinary people. I don't remember what they met there, so that even those who survived went crazy in the end."

"After that time, I received the psychological treatment arranged by the above, and temporarily canceled the arrangement of field missions. I came to the research compound and served as the captain of the large base stationed in this military area. I also met you."

"The memory of the task became weaker and weaker after the monthly psychotherapy, and later, I suspended this kind of psychotherapy without authorization." Duan Yi pursed his lips, "I need that kind of memory, whether it is good or bad. , is a wake-up call.”

"If I forget, it's the people who die, the ones who get hurt, that's the ones that really become worthless."

Cheng Sheng looked at Duan Yi.

When he was in the compound before, he could often see Duan Yi leading the soldiers stationed in the compound to practice, and he often heard those soldiers complaining, discussing in private that Duan Yi, as an instructor, was savage and cruel to the students .

Now he found that Duan Yi was not only cruel to others, but even more cruel to himself.

He leaned towards Duan Yi and said softly: "In the world of our biologists, we believe that everything that happened has its own value and will not be erased by any external force."

Duan Yi looked at him.

Cheng Sheng knew that Duan Yi was listening to him.

He continued: "Even for extinct creatures, their traces of existence will still be preserved in every detail. When they are discovered and excavated, they will help us to contact possible mass extinction accidents in the future, so as to prevent, Use human power to change the outcome of extinction."

——Just like a few years ago, at the multinational global summit, their ancient biologists repeatedly pointed out that human beings are directing the sixth event of extinction of life on Earth.

Cheng Sheng has always maintained that ancient biology is a discipline that looks to the future and serves the future.

"It's not up to you to prove the value of those who died." He said, turned around, and lightly wrapped his arms around the soldier's neck with his backhand. muscle lines.

"The value you want to prove is that I'm still alive. Everyone in your team has lived to this day because of you." Cheng Sheng's voice was soft but firm, and he looked into Duan Yi's eyes. Two small selves were reflected in the pupils, which made Cheng Sheng's heart soften.

He approached slowly, obviously feeling that Duan Yi held his breath slightly.

If it weren't for the ridiculous mud smeared on both of their faces and bodies, Cheng Sheng wouldn't mind kissing them.

But now, the atmosphere is right, the occasion is wrong, and the environment is wrong.

The doctor silently turned his head away, unable to kiss.
