Chapter 1028: Puppet Man (1)
The whole book, the fastest update and the latest chapter of the school flower desert island survival day!
And the most important thing is that this guy can still move normally underwater, which means that this is probably the kind of super touching I imagined before.
I told the others to quickly move away from the water near the entrance, and turned on the psionic detector once more.
To my surprise, however, there were no more bright spots on the detector.
Could it be that the psionic energy is not strong enough to be sensed by the detector...... The weakened version is super touching?
This kind of thing has happened before, for example, the many super touching people we met in that strange square before who crawled out of the stone platform belong to this type, although they are similar to me in terms of ability, but the strength of their energy has been weakened a lot, so they can't be displayed on the detector.
Now we are in a dilemma, and we dare not send someone into the water to find out, nor dare we leave, because I cannot let unknown creatures out without our knowledge and let them move freely.
Fortunately, there are no other threats around us now, and there are no special things to deal with for the time being, so I will continue to have the large army stay in the ground area of the entire Evergreen Valley, closely monitoring all the boundaries here to guard against any suspicious creatures that emerge from the ground.
A whole day has passed, during which the water we poured into it has begun to fade, but there is still no Gu thing to show up.
However, in the meantime, those of us who specialize in sorting loot have found some usable equipment, which is a large number of electronic gadgets, including some small hand-held cameras and corresponding playback equipment.
And there were power generation facilities inside the Evergreen Valley, and Lu Ming's assault team only cut off the power supply, but did not destroy it, so there was no need to worry about the electric energy, not to mention that many of these electronic instruments had electricity retained.
With such equipment, we can strappen the camera to the back of the little black thing, and then let it go into the underground layer under the control of the Burmese to shoot, so that even if we are in danger, we will only lose a small black thing and a camera, which is still within my acceptable range.
Gochai personally selected a little black thing with the strongest system to be responsible for this operation, and he used strong glue to stick the strap of the camera to the back of the little black thing, and the lens of this camera is waterproof, so it doesn't matter if there is still water flowing below that has not receded.
The rest of us just stood at the other end of the video transmission and watched quietly......
The Burmese people's ability to control the details of the little black thing is really a little worse, although there are several Gu masters who use different Gu spells to try to control the little black thing to sneak into the deepest place, but halfway through, the little black thing still changes its route, and after reaching the deeper area, even this control completely disappears.
We're just going to let that little black thing play freely in the basement......
Fortunately, this does not affect the overall observation, because the deeper underground layer is an unknown area, and it is worth seeing for me no matter where it climbs.
After going about five or six meters deeper, the little black thing began to crawl from vertical depth to horizontal crawling, and it was at this time that I noticed that a large number of corpses began to appear in the passages around me.
This time, they were all real human corpses, and I could see very clearly that there were not only the wanderers' own people, but also a much larger number of half-infected, and the appearance of these already pale half-infected people after death was even more terrifying.
For a moment, these semi-infected people reminded me of the dead Qin Xiaolu, and I couldn't help but feel sad again.
The bodies were concentrated and located just below the current water level, suggesting that they were clearly raised and lowered with the current.
More crucially, I found that the bodies were clearly very young.
Could it be that shortly after the bounty hunter was attacked, all the people in the water below drowned?
One of the most critical points that I need to determine now is what kind of system the corpses belong to, whether they are ordinary people or super touching, so with the efforts of those Burmese Gu masters, we finally succeeded in letting the little black thing pull out one of the relatively well-preserved corpses.
It was the corpse of an adult male, with a normal complexion, not in the category of a semi-toucher, but when I covered his abdomen with my palm, I could clearly sense the psionic energy flowing from his body.
It's not strong, but it's clear.
This shows that this is indeed a super touching person, and it really does not reach the sensing point of the psionic detector.
But that's not the point, it's how exactly he died.
In cold regions, the self-healing efficiency of the human body will be greatly reduced, so if these super touching people are killed by trauma or suffocation, they should have significant characteristics, but this person looks more like he is in a sleeping state from the outside, and he can't see any external injuries and painful expressions.
Could it be an internal injury?
In order to find out the truth thoroughly, Gochai asked some of the Burmese people who knew how to do medical dissection on the corpse, but they said that the internal organs of the person were intact and there was no sign of internal injuries.
I thought this might be a special case, so I let the little black thing pull out more corpses one after another, and later even the corpses of the semi-infected were pulled out as well, but the result was exactly the same, all the corpses seemed to die suddenly in peace.
......
We discussed for a long time without any results, and in the end we could only blame the cause on the influence of the Gu worm virus so far, perhaps the medical team members who studied the perfect fusion of the Gu worm virus triggered some fatal mistake in the research process, so that after the fusion of themselves and the virus, they ...... Produced an irreversible sudden death?
This explanation is still possible, after all, the various energy breaths brought by the Gu worm virus are extremely unstable, and there are also a lot of unknown areas, if there is some kind of energy that can make people die quickly in peace, it is also possible.
In this way, I have to start worrying about the people around me, after all, there are quite a few people under my command who belong to individuals who are highly integrated with the Gu worm virus...... Not to mention the size of the population base that has been slightly impregnated with psionic powers.
......
Although we don't know much about the cause of death among these underground loiterings, we now at least know the general situation of the underground level, and there should be no more threats, so we will wait for the current to recede further before starting a new round of excavation.
The goal of this excavation was clear, which was to further expose the remaining area to the sun, and the excavation pressure was reduced to a certain extent because it was flooded beforehand, and we opened up several other excavation sites in addition to the irrigation inlet.
The crowd bloomed more, and it took less than half a day to expose more underground floors.
During this period, some walls with mural patterns also appeared in our field of vision, but the content was still similar to the type I had seen before, basically all of them were old pictures, and only some novel Gu types appeared on individual murals.
We brought out more corpses, and soon I found that the number of semi-infected people was still abnormal, at least much less than we expected, and we had now dug up almost ninety percent of the underground area, but found less than three hundred bodies of semi-inhabited, which was much less than the total.
However, we found some people dressed in special clothes among the many corpses, these people are more elaborate than other people, and we have found some relevant tools and materials from these people's clothes, they are likely to be the previous group of exiled medical team members.
There are both men and women, and their constitutions are significantly stronger than others, which I deduced from the residual psionic energy in these people.
I've tried to absorb the psionic energy from them, but I've failed, and I feel that the remaining psionic energy is not really controllable energy.
The energy I can absorb should be satisfied with the fact that the consciousness of the absorbed person still exists, such as Nie Bi was still alive at that time, and for example, the unknown little girl could also have a spiritual dialogue with me at that time.
However, the energy here is much weaker than Nie Bi and them, and even if they are all combined, they are far from comparable, so it is not harmful.
Eventually, we dug up all the underground areas that could be seen with the naked eye and found all the loiterer corpses here.
Judging from the comparison between the statistics and the number of loitering people explored before, it should be almost all the loiterers, that is to say, in the entire Evergreen Valley, almost all the loiterers have died, they were either directly eliminated during the assault, or they were found during the excavation, and finally these guys died in the current.
The number of corpses of semi-infected people has not increased.
I had a feeling that something must be wrong here, so I took matters into my own hands and began to walk back and forth in these excavated areas, while taking a moment to feel as much as possible the psionic strength of each realm.
I've now reached the point where I'm getting a first glimpse of the strength of this psionic energy, and if there is something related to psionic energy around me, even through the thick physical wall, it will not escape my perception.
Sure enough, more than halfway through the exploration process, I suddenly felt some chaotic sounds coming from my head, as if there were a lot of unjust spirits disturbing in my ears, and these voices were clearly generated by psionic energy, similar to lucid dreaming connections.
Following the direction of these energies, I soon found a hidden stone chamber hidden in the cracks of the underground level.
In fact, this stone chamber has been excavated during the previous excavation, but due to the huge amount of work, people simply think that it is just a small branch of the underground layer, and do not attract enough attention.
In addition, the entrance was blocked by the Bloodmelt Stone, so it was temporarily shelved.
I had some blood taken from a corpse and splashed on the bloodmelt stone barrier at the entrance, which quickly dissolved.
I thought there would be a stench of corpses in front of me, but it wasn't the case, although the air inside was a little stuffy, but it was normal, I first dropped a torch, not that I was afraid of lack of oxygen, but I wanted to prove the oxygen situation below, if the torch went out, it would mean that even if there were living creatures below, it was definitely not a normal living thing......
Sure enough, the torch fell and went out within seconds......
I felt it at the entrance again, and realized that the source of the chaotic sounds was indeed coming from here, and I repeated the trick of letting a little black creature sneak in with the camera again, and the footage was very clear.
The area of the stone chamber below is about 200 square meters, but the inner wall is full of a large number of semi-infected people, and these semi-infected people are connected by some strange pipes......
I rub ......
I hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look at the connections of these devices, and found that they were indeed similar to what we had encountered before, at most, the number of connections in the pipeline has increased, and some details have been optimized, and I feel that this is an improvement test to accelerate the fusion of viruses.
The reason why it is said to be an experiment is because some of the semi-infected people here are still alive, but there are also many people whose bodies have undergone strange changes, and there are some records of test data next to them, this time they are all real Chinese characters.
I'm going to have all of this stuff safeguarded, and then I'm going to get all the semi-infected people here out of the pipes.
However, things took an unexpected turn, and my intention was to free these half-infected people from their controlled fate, but when we unplugged the pipe, these half-infected people died suddenly in a short period of time.
What surprised me even more was that I had wanted to find a few semi-infected people to see if I could ask something, but they couldn't open their mouths without exception, and it felt a bit like the people controlled by the wanderers who were not fully conscious.
We had information that the Wanderers were deliberately creating such people as cannon fodder, but we didn't expect them to use this method.
But that still doesn't explain the mass of people who died when they were flooded.
