Overshadowing the sun is always a demon
Chapter 17 The Feast of Corpse Worms
Walking through the corridor overgrown with corpses and caterpillar weeds in fear, suddenly a step leading down diagonally appeared in front of him.The undercurrents in the cave in front are all formed naturally, and these steps are obviously artificial.The steps are all made of huge stone blocks, and the sharp edges and corners are full of traces left when they were chiseled down that year, and they just continue to extend into the boundless darkness.
It was also the first time for Xiao Tang to take this path, so he acted extra cautiously.He took out a light stick from his backpack and broke it hard a few times, and the light stick slowly lit up.When the light was enough to barely illuminate, he threw the fluorescent stick down the steps.
The light stick rolled all the way down the steps, and rolled a long way before stopping.Everyone held their breaths and waited quietly. The crisp falling sound actually echoed in the boundless dark space. This underground space is obviously astonishingly large.
"It's all right, ready to go." Everyone waited for a while and didn't hear the slightest abnormal movement, so they began to prepare to walk down the steps.
Fadu stood on the top of the steps and looked down. The light from the lighting lamp could only illuminate a very limited area, while the green spot of the fluorescent stick was like a pearl sunken in deep water, which was beyond reach.
"Wait a minute!" Uncle Zhongyi suddenly yelled, "What's that sound!"
Everyone fell silent again.
There was indeed a faint creaking sound in the darkness, like the cry of a mouse, or the sound of the wind pushing an old-fashioned wooden door that could not be opened or closed.
Fadu got goosebumps from that sound, this sound effect is obviously standard in horror movies!
Little don Juan looked down the steps: "It seems that something is coming."
Fadu looked in the direction he was looking at, and the dark steps unexpectedly undulated and twisted like a snake.He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then realized that it wasn't the steps that were moving, but something was moving fast on the steps.
"Be careful!" Xiao Tang desperately pulled Fadu and Liushun who were standing beside him back. A large group of strange creatures had already surged up the steps like a tide, and quickly surrounded them. Called bitten.
Everyone in the Tang family seemed to be masters, and they conjured up all kinds of weapons in an instant to fight with the pile of things.Fadu's eyes were staring straight, they all carried their stuff with them, how did they usually get through the security check when they took a ride on a plane?
Xiao Tang stood alone at the front of the team to resist the attack, like a boulder splitting the turbulent water.The black creature flew past him, and the rest of them followed suit to take advantage of the situation to make up the knife.But those creatures don't know how to be afraid at all. Once one of the same kind dies or is injured, the others will swarm up and eat it.No matter how strong a person is, his physical strength is always limited, and those black creatures seem to cover the sky and cover the sky. Even if you can kill three or four with one knife, there will be more rushing up immediately.
Fa Du was blocked by Xiao Tang, and suddenly felt a pain in his finger.Before he could see what it was, Liu Shun made a quick move, directly piercing the black mass with a pistol.
"Light it up! Light it up!" Creatures that have lived in the dark for a long time are generally very sensitive to light. Xiao Tang's idea is definitely worth a try. Unfortunately, everyone is used to modern lighting methods. There are lighters and matches, but who would? Carry something like a torch with you?
A flash of inspiration flashed in Fadu's mind, and he squatted down on the spot and rummaged through his baggage.
"Master Fadu, stand up quickly! Once you are thrown down..." Fadu is of course more likely to be attacked while squatting on the ground. If he is thrown down, the consequences will be disastrous. He cheered happily: "I found it! I found it!"
Fadu saw a lighter in one hand and a spray of toilet water in the other. With a bang, the toilet water exploded into a brilliant flower, igniting several black creatures in front of him like a flamethrower.They ran around in panic, and soon ignited more of the same kind, and gradually filled the air with a burnt aroma like grilled fish.
"Can you aim at the point! Why are you so stupid!" Xiao Tang snatched his toilet water and lighter, and rushed straight to the place where the black creatures were most dense.
Fadu yelled at his back unconvinced: "I came up with this idea!"
As the flames diffused, the black creature retreated as quickly as it had come, leaving a piece of wreckage missing arms and legs on the ground.
Fadu lowered his head, the creature that bit him just now was still lying there, a big hole was left in the center of the body, but the basic shape was still there.It is said to be a bat, but it has a mouse-like tail, and it is said to be a mouse, but its head, which takes up more than half of its body, looks like a fish.There are needle-like sharp teeth exposed in the mouth, two meaty claws in the front half, but there is also a fish tail fin in the back.If you look at it separately, those parts don't seem to grow on the same kind of creature at all. It's just a big joke made by God, who dismantled all kinds of creatures and put them together indiscriminately.
Fadu fiddled with the weird wreckage on the ground: "What is this thing, it looks like a joke."
Xiao Tang gave another strange look: "Where there are corpse caterpillars, of course there are corpse caterpillars."
"Corpse bugs? Are they bugs?"
"Corpse worms are just called that. You have read so many books, but you tell me, what kind of creatures should they belong to?"
Fadu looked at the wound on his finger and was speechless.
"You were bitten? How does it feel? Does it hurt?" Xiao Tang pulled his wound to examine it carefully. The wound bitten by the corpse insect was narrow and deep, and a lot of white pus came out after a while.
"It doesn't hurt, it just seems to be numb, and I can't feel the existence of my fingers." Fadu tried to bend his fingers, only to find that his fingers were no longer in control, and the numbness was spreading from his fingers to his arms.
Xiao Tang pulled out a tourniquet and tied it tightly above his arm, and the other bitten people did the same immediately.
"Are corpse worms poisonous?"
"They gather in evil places and generally live by eating carrion. I think they are not poisonous. However, it is recorded in ancient books that some dignitaries would raise corpse insects in the mausoleum to prevent tomb robbers. The paralyzed state becomes the feed of corpse worms. Before vampire bats in South America will make wounds and inject saliva before sucking blood, the blood-sucked prey is as unconscious as if they have been anesthetized. I guess there should be something similar in the saliva of corpse worms that can achieve Substances with an anesthetic effect, and not only locally, but can temporarily cause the prey to lose control of the limbs, which means that many tomb robbers should still be alive when they are eaten."
Even though the tourniquet slowed down the numbness, Fadu could still feel that his body was getting cold and stiff, and even his tongue was starting to become uneasy: "Then what... what should I do now? Is there... is there a solution?" ?”
"Wait." Xiao Tang directly kicked the wreckage under his feet, and then supported Fa Du to sit down.
"Wait...wait for what?"
"If the effect of this saliva is the same as that of a vampire bat, then waiting for a day and a half for anesthesia will fail. If this saliva is the same as some neurogenic snake venom, then congratulations, even if you don't die, you will have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life Spent."
"Get out..." Fadu just said a word, the numb feeling has spread to the throat, not only speaking, but even breathing became extremely difficult.He blinked in horror, trying to tell Xiao Tang how he felt, but the light in front of him suddenly disappeared, and then he couldn't see anything.
He knew that it was the saliva of the corpse bug that had corroded his optic nerve, and soon perhaps even the cerebral cortex would be completely anesthetized.
It was a very strange feeling. His whole body was stiff and he couldn't feel any pain, but his skin could clearly sense external stimuli.He could feel someone grabbing his shoulder and shaking him desperately, he could hear his neck bones cracking non-stop, he knew someone was cleaning the wound on his hand, but he couldn't feel any pain, even that kind of The feeling of being on the verge of suffocation became more and more blurred.
Fadu suddenly had a whimsical idea. If he survived this time, it would definitely provide the most valuable information for human biology and life science research!
My mind became more and more numb, as if I couldn't think about anything.The drowsiness was like an overwhelming net, which took away his last consciousness in an instant.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he gradually regained consciousness, the first feeling that popped into his mind was——chest hurts!My nose hurts!Mouth hurts!
At the same time that the pain returned, he finally realized that someone was giving him CPR, which is commonly known as artificial respiration.
In many TV dramas, cardiopulmonary resuscitation is regarded as a necessary tool for the protagonists to warm up their feelings. In fact, artificial respiration that can really save lives has no romance at all.Pressing the chest, pinching the nose, and blowing hard. This series of movements is naturally painful, and ribs are often broken.
Fadu's vision has not yet recovered, and he can't see who is giving him CPR, but he can guess that it is Xiao Tang just because of the strength of his hand that doesn't know what gentleness is.
"...Ah...Little...Little Tang..." The numbness slowly faded away just like at first, and the muscles controlling the throat are also slowly recovering. Fadu worked hard to spit out those few words, hoarse and distorted. It's like blowing a broken whistle.
"What? What did you say?" The special smell of medicine came into his nostrils. Even if he couldn't see it, Fadu knew that Xiao Tang's face was less than ten centimeters away from him.
"Light...light...ribs...ribs...broken..."
"He's awake, he's all right." Before Fadu finished speaking, he felt Xiao Tang throw him to the ground as usual.
The moment his vision recovered, Fadu saw at a glance that Xiao Tang was holding his finger and squeezing the remaining blood into a small bottle. In this kind of place where there is no light, those blood beads obviously shone with dazzling fluorescence.
Fadu grinned in pain: "The venom has already spread all over the body, what's the use of squeezing the wound?"
"Who said I'm going to take venom? Your blood is so valuable, it's too wasteful to shed it, it's better to collect it." Xiao Tang shook the shallow layer of blood beads under the bottle, "If you can take such a trip, Collect all the bottles, and I can retire after finishing this ticket."
"roll!"
The author has something to say: I have been hoarding manuscripts for too long, have everyone abandoned me?It's rare to make up your mind to write a long article, but are you sure you don't want to support me? TOT
It was also the first time for Xiao Tang to take this path, so he acted extra cautiously.He took out a light stick from his backpack and broke it hard a few times, and the light stick slowly lit up.When the light was enough to barely illuminate, he threw the fluorescent stick down the steps.
