Chapter 139: Death Threats
Shen Ke looked at the roots of my hand and couldn't help but shudder, but he still had indigestion for my words, "These are just ordinary tree roots, how can they kill people?" ”
"Huh, ordinary?" I snorted coldly, "Is it possible for ordinary tree roots and ranunculaceae bulbs to grow so long?" Is it possible for ordinary plant roots to grow enough to tie up all of our bodies in a matter of hours? ”
The three men were speechless for a moment, and in their narrow worldview, it was obvious that they could not explain the situation in front of them. Copy this address to browse
I slowly squatted down, picked up Shen Yu's skull and said, "The direct cause of death of is probably brain death, and the wound is those small holes in the skull." You guys, the only thing that caused these little holes could be the roots of the flowers and trees, and I guess it was when Shen Yu was asleep that the roots of Yin Gui came out from under the floor, slowly approached him, and then stuck the roots through his nostrils.
"Shen Yu didn't die immediately, he may have woken up from a dream, but unfortunately his whole body was entangled in tree roots, he couldn't move, he could only desperately watch as those tree roots continued to penetrate deep into his body, entangled his brain, and then slowly stretched out from his skull, and finally died completely after a few hours because of intense pain and extensive damage to his brain......"
"It's disgusting!" Shen Xue and Xu Lu were so frightened that they couldn't help but vomit.
Shen Ke was trembling all over, and he said in a dry tone, "Those are plants, how can plants ......?"
"I know what you want to say, but think about that story first, what did Shen Yu use as fertilizer to raise flowers and trees?" I interrupted him unceremoniously, "Those silver cinnamon and peony that have been raised by human blood and corpses, perhaps for some reason have changed, they may no longer be able to meet the needs of living only on the elements of the earth and water, they are thirsty for blood, and they crave the abundant nutrients contained in the human body!" These are the best nutrients that make them full of life and vitality. ”
I paused, then continued, "Do you know about the man-eating lions of Africa? In the 60s, many workers went deep into the Congo to build railway tracks, and a large number of workers died suddenly because they could not adapt to the harsh environment and diseases.
"In order to save money, the railroad company often acquiesced to the foreman throwing the carcasses into the jungle and disposing of them, but the carcasses attracted hungry lions, and once the African lions had tried the taste of human flesh, they would never touch any food again, as if they had taken drugs.
"As a result, the man-eating lion developed to the point of uncontrollability, and every year, thousands of workers were quietly pulled into the woods by the man-eating lion to eat, and the lioness would teach the next generation how to hunt humans."
I licked my lips and continued, "Those damn mutant plants, after being transplanted by Shen Yu to this courtyard, I'm afraid they have never been provided with blood and corpses again. The spoiled plants finally couldn't bear it anymore, so they began to think of their own way, they frantically grew their roots, and then they searched for nourishment as sensitively as the tongue of a snake, and finally, they found their master! ”
"No need to explain! Damn it! What do you say we should do now? Shen Ke hugged his head and shouted in despair, "If you can't get out, you're dead, and if you stay here, you're dead, God!" Just cut me in the neck and it killed me. ”
"I have a very simple solution, the four of us sit together and watch each other, and we must not sleep!" I slowly swept their eyes, "These plants seem to be able to detect whether a person is awake or not, and as long as they are awake, they will not attack. ”
"Then we might as well have one person keep vigil and the rest go to bed first." Xu Lu suggested.
I shook my head, "It doesn't work, these plants are pervasive, I don't know where they got into the body, and I don't know how they died!" ”
Bending down to pick up the rope on the side, I smiled bitterly, "Now that I think about it, those strange friction marks on the broken rope are probably also the ghosts of those plants, they are determined to trap us here and store them as nourishment." ”
After thinking about it, I turned my head and said to Shen Ke, "One more point, I have long doubted why more than a hundred years ago, the ancestor of your Shen family ordered all the people in the back house to move to the front house to live, I am afraid that it is also because people often die suddenly, and they can't find any reason, so the good back house is closed!" ”
Shen Ke recalled bitterly, and finally nodded hesitantly, "I have indeed heard of similar things. More than a hundred years ago, in the back house, many people did die overnight, and many small holes were found in their bodies, and all the flesh and blood on their bodies were sucked clean. At the time, some people speculated that it was a haunting, others said that it was a plague, but in short, it made everyone panic. ”
My voice was hoarse, and I laughed, "That's it!" I didn't expect that even plants that eat human flesh and human flesh will become thinking and tricky, no wonder people often say that human flesh is the best tonic. ”
I looked at my watch, and it was 2:25 in the morning, which was still very early before dawn.
The four of them sat down face to face in the center of the chamber at my suggestion, holding a sharp utility knife tightly in their hands, and chatting with them about some messy things, trying to keep themselves awake, and in the end, I even forgot what I was talking about, and my numb mouth seemed to belong to me anymore.
Tiredness continued to ravage and erode my body and mind, and my body staggered and staggered, until I finally closed my eyes and fell asleep......
When I came back to my senses, because of the stinging pain in my back, countless plant roots emerged from under the floor of the chamber, and it bound us firmly, and some of the roots had even pierced my skin and invaded my muscles and veins.
I shouted that I was lucky, but fortunately I woke up in time, otherwise it would not be worth it for a group of four people to die unjustly like this!
Using the knife in my hand to cut the strong roots, I jumped up and kicked hard, this rude method immediately had an effect, and Shen Xue and the three woke up in a daze.
"Damn, I'm asleep again!" Shen Ke and the others looked down and saw that their bodies were tightly wrapped by the roots of plants like zongzi, and their faces turned pale with fright.
"I'm lucky, I didn't wake up sooner or later." I let them out and said lightly, "And fortunately I have a knife in my hand to be prepared, otherwise it won't be long before we will become like those bones!" ”
Xu Lu shuddered, stared at Shen Yu's skeleton in fear, hugged her head in panic and said, "I don't want to change like that!" ”
