Puff after puff of dust was raised into the air, and fell in clusters like mist and rain, forming a small mound next to the sweating woman.
I have been digging for almost an hour. Looking around, I can see that there are four or five small mounds like this scattered here and there.
In my memory, this is indeed the place where the Spring Cherry Snow disappeared; but Lin Sanjiu has turned over a large area of soil around it, revealing a layer of huge, intertwined white rhizomes underneath. However, when you look closely, , but there is not even a shadow inside these roots.
The warm hope she had in her heart suddenly came to nothing - Lin Sanjiu felt her blood vessels pulsing. She rubbed her swollen temples, not knowing what went wrong.
How about trying another place?
She reluctantly cheered herself up.
After walking nervously back to the campsite last night, Lin Sanjiu dug for another two hours without daring to take a breath, and finally fell down on the mound of soil, looking at himself. My mouth was full of sweat and mud, and my mouth felt bitter.
At this moment, the earth took on a strange appearance in front of her.
The originally dense plants, mixed with masonry and soil, were uprooted and piled aside; what was exposed were white rhizomes as thick as a locomotive, densely coiled into a large area.
It looks like when a person’s skin is peeled off, what is exposed is not flesh and blood, but countless white maggots——
But this is only the outermost layer of the "white radish". Most of their bodies are still buried deeply in the soil, and they don't know how deep they grow downward.
"Don't you mean that the missing people were sucked into these 'radish's?" Lin Sanjiu murmured to himself: "If they weren't responsible for it, why are some of the 'radish's inside He will wrap up the dead..."
There is also a possibility that a person died here, and then the "white radish" gradually wrapped the dead body in the process of growth.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu felt that this hypothesis had some truth - after all, she had touched these things countless times while digging in the soil. If the "white radish" really attacked people, why was she still fine? of?
In fact, the easiest way is to find a mouse or insect to test it; but Lin Sanjiu discovered it just now: Even though she dug the soil so aggressively, she didn't find anything between the grass and grass in the soil. Half a bug.
She still remembers the ugly beetles the size of a human head with densely packed blood-red compound eyes. When she first came out of the Garden of Eden, she could see several of them almost a day; They can appear out of nowhere - Hui Chu Yan occasionally screams unexpectedly, and is always ridiculed by Xue Qui.
The nest of this kind of beetle also looks disgusting. There are round shallow pits in a large round nest. Generally, there are four bugs in a nest, which is just enough for four human heads.
The reason why Lin Sanjiu knows so well is because she destroyed several such empty nests during the digging process just now.
I don’t know since when, the bugs in these nests disappeared without a trace like her friends.
She sat on the mound, stretched out her feet, stared blankly at the tangled white roots in front of her, and subconsciously counted the time.
Spring Snow, Bai Xiaoke and Error Code 517 disappeared the earliest, and it has been 24 hours now; although it is not clear the exact time when the others disappeared, it is almost 15 hours since they were discovered. ……
As soon as his thoughts turned to this, Lin Sanjiu immediately slapped himself with his backhand.
"I don't care how long they have been gone!" She gritted her teeth, a look of anger showing between her brows. "You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"
When digging the soil just now, Lin Sanjiu was a little wary of these "white radishes" because she didn't know what they were, so she was always careful when digging and didn't even dare to damage their skin.
But now that she was fierce, she didn’t care so much. She picked up the long knife she found on the ear guide and swung it towards the "white radish"——
The layer of hard skin on their surface is not as strong as it looks - Lin Sanjiu felt that his knife had just touched the radish skin, but before cutting it off, the skin suddenly opened on its own - it was said that Opening it is not correct yet, it feels more like "turning it open". Just like when a person opens his mouth when eating, there are long threads of mucus hanging in the open mouth of the radish skin.
And her long knife sank into the sticky, soft, semi-solid mucus without any hindrance. The "white radish" immediately closed its skin, as if it had swallowed up half of the blade in one go. Hold it in your mouth.
Lin Sanjiu held the handle of the knife and was stunned for a few seconds - unlike the expected "white radish" fragments flying everywhere, she didn't know what to do for the moment.
...Do you want to pull the knife out? Or should we row along like this?
Before she could make up her mind, something happened to "White Radish" again - with a "crash", the blade was covered with a large amount of mucus and was pushed out from the opened skin.
The closed radish skin looks exactly the same as before, with no trace of it having been opened before.
Huh?
Lin Sanjiu looked at the wet long knife, and then at the white root in front of her. "...Why, you don't think it tastes good?"
This was indeed her first reaction.
When I took a closer look, I saw that there was more than just mucus hanging on the long knife; there were also some strands of slender roots, which seemed to have been cut off by the knife before being brought out - they seemed to be dehydrated. Like a fish, it struggled and rolled in the air for a while, then hung down and stopped.
This thing is really inexplicably disgusting...
After thinking about it, she grabbed a blade of grass and wiped the long knife clean before putting it away, then slowly moved her arm closer to "white radish".
This time, Lin Sanjiu’s eyes were fixed on it, not daring to miss the slightest abnormality.
When I accidentally encountered this kind of "white radish" before, they would often tremble slightly. Lin Sanjiu didn't pay attention, just thinking it was because they were related to life; but now he watched carefully Only later did she finally see the "trembling" process clearly.
When her arm was close to the radish skin, a small area was opened slightly and a crack was opened - in the crack, you could barely see clearly the groups of thin roots wrapped in mucus, as if the brain had been cut open. Finally, the nerves inside were exposed.
A thin root stretched out a head from the gap tentatively, but for some reason, before the mucus hanging on it could drip down, the root had quickly retracted, and the radish skin As soon as he closed it, "White Carrot" trembled slightly, and it looked as if nothing had happened.
Lin Sanjiu stared at all this in stunned silence, unable to make a sound.
She raised her arm and tried several more places, and the "white radish" in each place had almost the same reaction. After trying it once, no matter how close she got, or even putting her hand on her, she still couldn't get any response.
"What the **** is this?" Lin Sanjiu punched the "white radish", causing it to open a small hole, and then looked around helplessly.
Although there were no bugs to experiment with, she had almost concluded that both humans and animals were involved in these "white radishes" - but she didn't know why, but they refused to attack her.
It would be nice if someone came to verify her thoughts... With her by her side, nothing would happen...
That’s what he thought, but Lin Sanjiu also knew that this was unlikely.
Because the range of the "base" detected by the [Dog Frisbee] has long been expanded compared to when we were camping last night - Lin Sanjiu can be sure that if she runs to the [Dog Frisbee] now, If you start digging in the soil on the edge of the display, you will definitely find the same "white radish".
These things seem to be growing forward at extremely fast speeds.
"Should we call Gong Daoyi?" Lin Sanjiu thought of the only person she could contact, "That guy is quite powerful, he should at least be able to protect himself..."
She sat down facing the "white radish", called out the paper crane, and rubbed it back and forth in her hands. She didn't know what she was hesitating about.
Today's radiation clouds were not thick, and it was the time when the sun was high in the sky. The sunlight dyed the strange scene around her with a layer of bright warmth. Even the "white radish" looked a little brighter. Crystal clear.
Under such sunshine, if a few long shadows suddenly appeared around you, it would be very conspicuous.
Lin Sanjiu jumped up, and when she turned around, the long knife was already tightly held in her hand.
No matter who it is, who can come up behind her so quietly, they are definitely not easy to deal with——
However, as soon as her eyes fell on the uninvited guest behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief - Lin Sanjiu herself did not expect that she actually knew the visitor.
No wonder I walked without making any sound, and came up behind me without even saying hello——
"Why are you..." She didn't have any bad feelings about the visitor ~IndoMTL.com~ but she still had to guard against it. "Did Nuwa ask you to attack me again?"
On the two-meter-high torsos of the two people behind them, there are two pairs of arms on the left and right, and the heads are in the shape of almonds - they are the two "new people" created by Nuwa, Montesquieu and Aristotle Dodd.
Montesquieu seemed to understand what she meant, and shook his head slightly but clearly - its blue-gray skin, with its lustrous texture shining in the sunlight, reminded Lin Sanjiu of a dolphin.
I don’t know if it was because she was under too much pressure on her own, but when she met the sages this time, she actually felt a bit of intimacy: "...Then why are you here? If you are seen by other evolvers, I will attack you as a fallen species."
Looking at Nuwa's previous behavior, she clearly hid them on the top floor of the black tower - this time, for some unknown reason, the sages were walking outside openly.
Aristotle nodded after hearing this, not knowing whether he agreed with her or expressed gratitude for her concern - then Montesquieu took out a folded paper from a belt pocket on his body. , handed it to Lin Sanjiu. r1152
