Chapter 758: The Dead Lake (8)
Unsure of what was causing these symptoms, Kasia looked ahead at the dense forest, and stopped where she was.
He looked at the mechanical watch and waited until the symptoms on his finger were completely back to normal, and a total of about five minutes had passed. During this time, the skin of the fingers has also undergone a rapid renewal, and a thin layer of transparent skin has shed off, which is also a result that Kasia did not expect.
But thinking of something, Kasia directly reflexively returned to the position he had just observed, looking for the corpse of the discarded snake. He wanted to experiment. Recently, because the group of old professors, or the surgeons, have been getting longer and longer, he also has a deeper understanding of his body. After being exposed to the depth of surgical development, he is more willing to regard the principles of surgical development as his ability to adapt to various environments.
There is no such explanation for the depth of the development of surgery, but in some development projects, such as the development of heat resistance of the arm in order to use pneumatic weapons of standard or above, the development method is really only to provide a hot environment for the arm for a long time, so that the body is forced to choose to adapt. And before the theory of surgical development was proposed by Avalon, some surgeons inadvertently acquired some abilities. Cassia thinks that these "unintentional" situations may be the same as his current situation.
After completely dissecting the snake's corpse, Kasia sat down on a tree root to observe the changes after receiving roughly the same amount of blood on both the molten index and middle fingers.
This time the time was shortened a bit, and Kasia thought it was because the body had subconsciously remembered the feeling. In four minutes, the middle finger also completed the renewal of a layer of skin, and the index finger, as he thought, did not have any more problems.
"Is this yet another surgically developed ability, but what should I call it?" Cassia had a different look in his eyes, believing that in front of the woods, on the edge of the lake in the mouths of the old people, there must be an unknown creature more poisonous than this snake. No man's land is just a place where there are no traces of human existence, but that doesn't stop them from becoming a paradise for some animals.
Hurrying to the road, Kasia maintained a pace that would not exert her stamina violently. In less than half an hour, the denser and denser woods began to thin, and more and more of the afternoon dim light shone in. A clearing appeared in front of him, not too large or small. The icy air coalesced in a clump, blocked by mountains and woods. As Kasia stepped out of the woods, she felt something else in the air, something but silence.
Immediately opened the cross pupils, and the perception increased a lot, and Kasia closed her eyes, and her hearing was blocked to the maximum at this time. Breathing in the air around me very slowly, there was indeed something else mixed in there. There was also a faint touch on the skin, which was something that was not easy to catch, but it did "hit" his bare skin in some form.
"It's not corporeal, it's similar to a sound. When Kasia opened her eyes, the touch of her skin had been pushed to the limit, but it was still difficult to catch what was mixed in the air. They exist in real time, but they are completely isolated from the air, and do not melt into the air like gaseous poisons or bacterial spores.
"Is this the one that causes the strange symptoms?" said Kasia, as she walked as she looked at the huge town in front of her, long in ruins. The houses were all collapsed, and vines and unusually lush moss rows crawled all over their surfaces. The plants here were all abnormal, far more vigorous than the wild grass and vitality he had seen on the way here. The moss was thicker than an adult's finger width, and some of the tiny leaves had begun to shift towards ornamental lawns, which struck Kasia as a novelty.
There were a few trees growing in the ruins of the town, all of them unusually strong, and their branches were twisted together in a spiral, spreading a huge shade. The first time I saw a bird, it was several times larger than the outside. Kasia knocked one down with a firecracker, their beaks and claws were so hard that Kasia tested them on her own hands, and they were about two or three points harder than steel.
Everything seems to be an area where the flora and fauna have been cut off from the outside for some reason. But it won't be long, because according to the old people, a few decades ago, there were still some humans here looking for precious minerals, and the news they brought out did not show the shadow of these animals and plants.
It's recent, or rather, since a strange illness began to spread infection.
It was getting late, and Kasia wanted to leave the ruins of the town with no end in sight, but the moss on the ground caused the marks of running water made him decide to go some further. It was a reddish-brown rust and a jet-black color that had been soaked in lubricating oil for many years.
A few hundred meters later, around the cover of several large trees, the wreckage of nearly twenty mottled trucks and limousines appeared in Kasia's field of vision. There was a pile of collapsed tents on the side, mixed with moss and clumps of dust.
No matter how strong the steel is, it has been turned into scrap metal under decades of environmental erosion, and the guns inside are the same result. Kasia saw that the guns were the product of some of the better workshops in the dark world, and they did not meet the standards of the military system. The ruins of the houses beside the rotten tent showed signs of being cleaned, and Kasia pushed the collapsed slabs away with his bare hands, and below them was a pile of mixed bones, devoid of snow-white color, tinged with grayish black and unusual yellow.
"That's where the body was left behind. Cassia then looked around, inspecting not only the inside of the vehicle, but all the other ruins around him, but found nothing substantial, only a diary-like thing.
A booklet, not a good quality notebook. Carefully remove the rotten hard-shell paper, the paper inside has already been glued together. Simply raising a fire, Kasia roasted the notebook before turning the few pages.
"The boss asked people to guard those people with guns, not to run around, for fear of infecting other people、、、"
"The communication disappeared for three days、、、、 and they didn't come back、、、 everyone couldn't hold on.
"、、、 are sick, and when they come in, they get sick, and the germs are in the air、、、 there are problems with the water source、、、 there are germs in the water、、、"
"、、、 plants are eating people、、、"
"The 、、、 vice-captain was stained with the blood of a wild wolf、、、 and he died three days later、、、"
The handwriting on the last page of "There is such a beautiful multicolored light 、、、in the sky" is obviously not finished, and it is the dry skeleton that struggles down before it dies, as if it is a geological surveyor in the team.
"There's a beautiful multicolored light?" Cassia carefully held the diary and glanced at the sky, where there was still a shallow layer of clouds on it, "I probably won't be able to see it tonight." ”
