Idol's Doomsday Survival Guide

Chapter 30 Incubation

"What's going on here?" The thin monkey broke out in a cold sweat, "Why... so many..."

"Human face." Heisen finished speaking for him, and he tiptoed to look at the nearest human face, "It should be a corpse after predation."

Heisen seemed much calmer than Shouhou. In this high-pressure environment, if he couldn't keep calm all the time, something might go wrong.

Once you calm down and observe carefully, you will find that there are not only human faces floating on the stone wall, but another outline behind the film. Ji Nanze follows the chaotic flow of these outlines and builds a picture in his mind : These things may be human limbs.

And all the limbs and heads are unstructured, looking like the Catacombs of Paris.

"These should be human limbs." Ji Nanze said, "not complete individuals, but dismembered and processed human body parts."

Zou Tu also took a look: "If the spiders built the underground lair, there is no need for them to collect the corpses here, or even spend a lot of time to decompose the corpses."

"The important thing is that there is no sign of eating." Ji Nanze touched the film lightly, "The outline is very complete. Although the muscles inside have shrunk a bit, the overall condition is well preserved. Zou Tu, remember when we Something found behind the upper polyps?"

"Senior, do you mean the remains of living things?"

"This kind of biological habit." He said, "It's very similar to the 'spider' itself, including the blood web woven by the other party."

"Senior, do you remember the creatures we have seen before?" Zou Tu is also thinking about this question, "Owls retain the function of night travel, dogs maintain their sense of smell, etc., but if the situation exceeds the biological instinct, or in other words, underground Is the establishment of the lair actually a requirement of 'infection'?"

Ji Nanze was shocked by what he said, he looked at Zou Tu in astonishment, speechless for a long time.

"In this case, they tried their best to concentrate animals in the upper layer, while humans were wrapped in the bottom of the cave." Ji Nanze said, "It is very likely that there is a connection. According to what you said, if the infection has self-awareness, then it There must be something to be gained from this.”

That's certainly a possibility, but it's also kind of weird.

Since the cave has expanded to such an astonishing extent, why haven't the human corpses that provided nutrients digested it?

Ji Nanze stretched out his hand to caress the uneven outline, a possibility flashed through his mind.

And the thought terrified him.

"The quantity is too large. Apart from wasting space, the excess nutrients will only gradually decay, and there is no need to use them at all."

Gu Changfeng looked at him, as if he understood his thoughts: "You mean..."

Ji Nanze took a deep breath, he knew that he was extremely horrified by this thought.

"All the human bodies stored here are not reserved for this cave."

Zou Tu keenly sensed something was wrong: "Senior means..."

"There should be another thing here. That thing may be the source of nutrients."

Along the way, they have seen many terrifying infected creatures.When Ji Nanze said this, the spines of several people began to tremble.

"Damn, why are you so calm." The thin monkey rubbed his arms, "Xiao Ji said this, the cave is actually... only this big, maybe you are overthinking it?"

"Okay, instead of forcing Lai Lai where he is, why don't you roll over and help?"

Zou Tu glared at him, he was breaking away the stones around the crack with the help of Gu Changfeng.

He is no more experienced than Shouhou, but he is calmer than Shouhou.What Ji Nanze said actually made sense. Since there was something else consuming the resources in the cave, they had to escape as soon as possible to prevent that thing from absorbing all the corpses.

At that point, there is no telling what to expect.

They are just ordinary people, facing inhuman monsters, even resistance seems inconceivable.

It seemed to feel the fear in each of them.The water flow became extremely turbulent, rumbling echoes behind the crack.

The road ahead is uncertain.

***

It is still very difficult to dig out a space for one person to pass through.Zou Tu felt that six of his ten fingers were bleeding, and his nails were in severe pain.

He pulled his hand out of the water, some snake horn still hanging from it, resisting the urge to suck the wound.

Ji Nanze held his hand, and the newly healed nails were slightly lifted, which made him feel distressed.

Zou Tu seemed to know what he was going to ask, and smiled: "It doesn't hurt."

Ji Nanze sighed, he couldn't resist Zou Tu anyway, so he could only use his clothes to gently wipe around the wound for him.

Even if there is no infection, even if the wound will eventually heal.

But the pain never changes.

As the fissures gradually widened, they could fully penetrate one arm.

But I don't know why, as the excavation deepened, the entire underground cave was crumbling.

Ji Nanze probed with his hand, and felt that this geological change was not caused by their destruction of the cave structure.He didn't know where that thing came from and could only hope it wasn't from another fed thing in the cave.Ji Nanze identified the general location and confirmed that it might be above their heads. The distance is not clear, but the source of the earthquake was very violent.

The tremors from above were extremely unstable, but intensified instead.

When a bloody arm fell from the top of his head, and the water almost splashed onto his shoulders, Zou Tu also realized that something was wrong.

"Stop," he said, "all hold your breath."

He and Ji Nanze looked at each other, they were very familiar with this shock.They had felt the violent shaking of the spider breaking out of its cocoon in the big shopping mall on the bustling street before.

At this moment, the ground in the underground cave was shaking, even worse.

Two people have only one thought.

The sarcoma on it may have broken open.

They hadn't held their breath for a while before the voice became much clearer.

The source of the sound came from above the head, like a dull reverberation, and also like the sharp sound of a tough material being torn apart.

That doesn't look like a human-faced spider, it should be something else.There is an unexplainable difference in the sound of scratching the skin.

When the ear-piercing loud sound moved to the last place, a burst of extremely high-frequency noise resounded through the entire cave without warning.

It may be a special frequency of ultrasound, and the impact on the eardrum is very strong!

They had to cover their ears, and several of them curled up together.The eardrums hurt so much that they were trembling while breathing, and they felt that the accumulated water under their bodies became colder and colder as the sound waves disappeared.

Ji Nanze heard the claws and toes scratching on the fleshy membrane, cutting iron like mud; he heard the gurgling sound from the creature's throat; and then there was a soft crackling sound of bones and tendons being reset or dislocated.

The bones and muscles of this creature are very delicate, close to that of a primate, and may have all the characteristics of an infected person.

Something came out—

Ji Nanze judged the specific direction, and felt that the source of the sound was far away in the sky, but the echo amplified the sense of fear infinitely.

He gritted his teeth, crossed his arms, and listened carefully.

Zou Tu gently pressed his wrist to help him stay calm.

Zou Tu's hands were covered with sweat, and Ji Nanze was also sweating profusely.The two looked at each other in the dark and laughed silently.

Then, the noise became very weird. Ji Nanze had never heard a similar sound before, and he couldn't even find any words to describe it.

——That bit by bit, like the sound of sucking on the cave wall, it sounded in eight directions at the same time, falling in their direction consciously.

No, don't think too much, maybe the target is not them, just the bottom of the cave.

Luo San took out her mobile phone, but she didn't dare to speak. She wanted to communicate with them by typing, but found that the screen of the mobile phone was flickering with snowflakes.

After a few seconds, it was completely paralyzed.

The six people looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally realized that all electronic signals were absolutely shielded at the moment of the creature's incubation, and no electrical appliances could escape.

Zou Tu reacted quickly, he did not indulge in fear.Instead, he directly broke off a rock formation with his bare hands in an attempt to expand the crack.

Ji Nanze also hurried up to help.

Because they heard, the thing fell into the water, almost without ripples but rippling ripples.

The water was stirred, and everything was still.

The group of snakes also seemed to retreat to their lairs, they were extremely afraid of this uninvited guest.

They didn't know what this guest was, but it was definitely not something that "spiders" could easily explain.It makes the creatures in the cave instinctively seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It is a superior predator and the king at the top of the food chain.But what kind of creature it is, no one has seen it, let alone any creature alive.

And that creature—was coming straight in their direction.

Several people hurriedly dug the rock formation, trying to open a hole large enough for people to pass through.The footsteps are getting closer, and the movements of their hands are getting faster and faster.

For some reason, Ji Nanze felt that the guy walking towards them was not in a hurry.It walked in a hurry, as if to give them a chance, and also as if... the superior predator enjoyed teasing its prey.

When Zou Tu smashed a large piece with his shoulder, a small hole less than half a meter in diameter was opened.He finally saw the general outline of the drainage pipe as he wished. After climbing out of the cave, he had to jump down about two meters.

The ladder was so rusted that it was broken in half.

However, the raging polyps in the cave have not yet completely spread, and only a small amount of flesh remains on the inner wall of the pipe.

The pipeline doesn't know where it leads, but Zou Tu believes that there is always a way out.

Holding the outer edge with one hand, he motioned for them to pass first: "...all go in."

Thin Monkey took a look at him, adhering to the principle of giving priority to women, and sent Luosang in first.Luosang hung on the edge without dawdling, just jumped down and heard a muffled groan.She has stood in a piece of filthy waste water.She didn't care about the stench on her body at all, but waved the light of her mobile phone to illuminate the path under their feet.

"Hurry up." Zou Tu's forehead was sweating, he only felt that the footsteps were getting closer, and every step pushed them closer to death.

Gu Changfeng glanced at him, nodded solemnly, pulled Haisen with one hand, and the thin monkey with the other, and jumped down vigorously.

When it was Ji Nanze's turn, Zou Tu finally smiled: "Senior, hurry up..."

Before he finished speaking, a pair of torch-like golden pupils appeared in the darkness not far behind them.
