Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The [-]th day after the invasion · No wonder, those who survived are also crazy

What exactly is miasma mother is, no one can say for sure.

According to ancient books, it can be regarded as a kind of miasma, but it is terribly poisonous, and people who touch it will undoubtedly die.

But the miasma mother is more cunning and changeable than any kind of miasma.

It is big and small, it gathers like a wheel, and it scatter like a bullet.

No one knows how it came, nor how it disappeared.

Cheng Sheng turned his head to glance at the miasma mother, and threw a ball of flames over.

I saw that the original blue flame seemed to have changed, like sawtooth, and there were still tiny sparks bursting around it.

That petite appearance was extremely arrogant, and Cheng Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

Lin Qian and Du Nanrong were overjoyed when the flames enveloped the miasma mother aggressively.

However, after only burning for a few seconds, the flame disappeared, and Cheng Sheng paused slightly, which meant that there was no flammable substance in the ball of miasma mother light.

But the ball of light did not disperse and disappear, it was like a mass of ethereal and insubstantial things.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiuzhang cursed.

"After you met it last time, how did you hide from it?" He asked Duan Yi.

He stepped into a mass of extremely sticky silt, and felt the unknown insects in the silt flying around by him, rushing past his insteps and legs in haste.

Zhang Jiuzhang frowned and pulled it out quickly, turned his head and glanced behind him, and saw that the miasma mother was still following them unhurriedly.

Duan Yi replied: "We didn't escape."

Everyone was stunned.

"Our experts believed at the time that as long as we didn't touch it, it wouldn't pose too much of a threat, and we didn't think Miasma Mother would actively attack or move towards us," Duan Yi said.

Cheng Sheng sneered beside him.

The vast majority of people, even some "experts", often make such cognitive mistakes, thinking that anything that is not a living thing will not attack, and that the weather will not cause death.

But in the eyes of their biologists, the definition of organisms is very broad, and even many abnormal weather is caused by microorganisms.

For example, 2.52 million years ago, the degree of hypoxia and sulfidation in seawater was significantly intensified, which caused a large outbreak of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and green sulfur bacteria, which led to the harsh ancient marine environment of mass extinction.

Meteorology is inseparable from creatures. It is a kind of contempt for creatures to think that weather will not actively attack human beings and cause death.

Duan Yi went on to say: "Experts believe that the cause of miasma is related to the uniqueness of the geological environment, so they decided to camp and study it."

"We camped about 20 meters away from the miasma mother, and moved all the research equipment out."

As he spoke, he looked back at the distance between Miasma Mother and them from time to time, speaking very fast.

"At first, the miasma mother moved very slowly, and the distance was almost imperceptible to the naked eye. This also greatly reduced the expert's estimate of the danger of the miasma mother."

——It was completely different from the group they encountered now.

The only thing that is the same is that the distance between them is always kept at a nearly constant value.

Even as they moved as fast as they could, the miasma mother still lingered.

Duan Yi went on to say: "When I found out that the miasma was indeed approaching our camp, I warned the experts, but they were ignored. They thought I was overly nervous and thought that the slight movement of the miasma was in a variable environment. within range."

"Until it gets closer to us."

"Any of our equipment will fail and cannot be used near it, and no matter how complete the equipment is, it will not help." Duan Yi said coldly.

"There was a problem with the equipment, and those experts started to worry-the data lines on the instrument fluctuated wildly, fluctuating like a curve under a magnitude [-] earthquake. They thought this was an impossible peak and frequency."

"I finally warned them to evacuate. They started packing up their instruments. But it was too late."

"The miasma mother was right under our sight, bursting into the shape just now, and countless light spots the size of projectiles shot out in all directions."

"It's so beautiful, under the miasma of milky white smoke, it's more like a fairyland illusion." Duan Yi's voice was colder, "But the fact is, we are surrounded by it, even if we are careful not to touch those light spots, there is still something there. Scientific researchers are showing signs of being corrupted by the miasma."

"Their protective clothing was scratched by branches and vines when they were traveling through the miasma, but any small inconspicuous gap is enough to make them infected."

Lin Qian asked in a daze, "Then in the end...?"

"I and other team members are aware of the threat of these light spots. We have already led those experts to try to break through the encirclement, but as long as they are contaminated with those things, the body will quickly corrode and rot."

"The first person to be smeared with light spots had his entire arm rotten with pus, and the flesh rotted into lumps of lifeless tissue. When you picked it up with a knife, you could see the bones."

"The rot spread so fast that we had to act decisively and cut off the man's arm."

"But this is simply a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause. We simply don't care about the speed of the spread."

Duan Yi took a deep breath, he remembered everything, some people's legs and hands were stained by the light spots of miasma, and they were visibly rotten to the naked eye.

In order to save his life, the man cried and asked to be cut off. In the end, he was cut into a stick-like appearance, but he still couldn't stop the tendency of decay.

Duan Yi looked at Cheng Sheng and said, "Surrounded by those light spots, we will soon be defeated. The miasma mother seems to have the effect of anesthesia and coma, and we lost consciousness one by one in the end."

"When I woke up, there were almost no living people around."

"Only those data instruments seem to have returned to normal, maintaining data transmission backups as before."

"The miasma mother is also gone, but it left me a pile of corpses." Duan Yi said coldly, "Only those who are still breathing, only my team members are left, maybe because of their physical fitness Only by being stronger can we barely survive.”

"The latter, you all know."

Lin Qian swallowed, and exchanged a look with Xu Ying.It's no wonder that those who survived from the team brought back by Duan's team went crazy.

Anyone who is in such a desperate situation, watching the same kind of people around him being corrupted and cut into sticks by unknown substances, and still can't see the hope of living, will go crazy.

Cheng Sheng took a deep breath, and subconsciously analyzed, how did Duan Yi survive such an environment?The injury on his back had been operated on for two days and two nights, but if it was because of the miasma mother, what stopped it from being corroded?

"Can we get around it? The more we go, the more we deviate from the original route." Du Nanrong broke the dullness and kept looking at the sun's position to judge their current position.

In order to avoid Miasma Mother, they had strayed from the route for a while.

Just like the two rays of the horn, the angle of deviation is not large at first, but as the distance gets longer and longer, there will be a very exaggerated distance between their final orientation and the original destination.

Cheng Sheng pursed his lips and said, "Going around is still not an option. Look for a river."

He explained: "Gas will not sink in water. The gas molecules have overcome the gravitational force between molecules or atoms to show the state of gas, but the water molecules have not yet overcome, so it is still in a liquid state. Molecules The difference in spacing is destined to prevent the miasma from sinking underwater, and will always be in a state of floating and suspending.”

Lin Qian was slightly dumbfounded when he heard this: "That's... looking for water?"

Cheng Sheng was aware of his professional flaws and unconsciously popped them up, but if he didn't explain, his proposal would seem a bit inexplicable.

He nodded slightly, and said two words concisely: "Look for water."

"receive."

They had walked through two small streams before, but as they got closer and closer to the periphery of the miasma, the streams became much rarer.

Now they looked for it carefully, but they didn't find any signs of water for a while.

Fortunately, the miasma mother behind them didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"I'm almost used to it following us." Lin Qian glanced behind him.

The miasma that Duan Yi and the others camped to study at the beginning also erupted suddenly after a day. It was quiet and harmless before, as if it was just a ball of light.

Lin Qian pursed his lips and said, "Look at this big group, and there is a small group of small ones around it, as if he was driving the Spring Festival travel with his family."

"You are quite talented, it's kind of cute to be able to say such frightening things." Du Nanrong twitched the corners of his mouth.

Lin Qian laughed dryly: "Does this make you feel less dull?"

"Thank you." Du Nanrong said.

While the two were talking, Du Jingshu "slapped" to death a mosquito flying around in front of her eyes, and the buzzing sound rang in her ears so much that she couldn't bear it.

Du Nanrong and Lin Qian looked at her suddenly.

Du Jingshu paused when she saw this, and said in a sly voice, "I just can't stand the mosquitoes circling around me, it's okay, you continue to talk about cross talk."

Du Nanrong grabbed Du Jingshu's hand, and saw a dead mosquito with fine white stripes on its slender legs sticking to Du Jingshu's palm.

"Mosquitoes are a good thing!" Lin Qian became excited.

"Where there are mosquitoes, there is water." Cheng Sheng looked over, and there was a little joy on his face when he heard this.

He explained in agreement, "Mosquito larvae are born in water, so they usually live near water sources, and there must be water around here."

A group of people slowly approached the water source with the sound of mosquitoes flying.

Pushing aside a bush that was as tall as a person, a small pond appeared in front of everyone.

Surprisingly, the pond has no smell, no peculiar smell, and no strange color. Even after a closer look, it can be found that this is a pool of running water, but it is extremely gentle.

There is a layer of floc floating on the water surface, and if you look closely, you can see small transparent dots wrapped in it, which look like they are stuck to the water, which is a bit disgusting.

Du Jingshu restrained herself from thinking about what that ball of floc was.

Duan Yi used a stick to test the depth of the pool, and the whole stick almost didn't go into the water, and it didn't go to the bottom. It seems that the depth must be at least two meters.

"The depth is enough, and the size of the pool seems to be able to hold a few of us." Zhang Jiuzhang said, "Should we look for it again, or just this one right now?"

Duan Yi looked back and said coldly: "There is no other choice, it has accelerated."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiuzhang looked at the ball of light subconsciously, and saw that the ball of light, which had been keeping a distance of about a hundred meters from them without any haste, had now shrunk to only about thirty meters without knowing it.

"Take a deep breath and get ready!"
