Chapter 18 Insectization Variation II
Everyone couldn't help feeling sad when they saw Dr. Lin's sad look, but Mr. Su's change has become a fact, and this is also helpless.
The old man named Liu was silent for a while, and suddenly hesitated and said, "Dr. Lin, don't be too sad. There is someone who may be able to treat this symptom of mutation."
Hearing Teacher Liu's words, Dr. Lin's tears suddenly shone a little light in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher Liu, who is that person?"
Old Master Liu sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't know who this person is. I only know that he is a very old Taoist. The time when the "worm-like" mutation occurred in that mountain village in Guangxi was just now. The number of people who were "worm-like" reached dozens of people. Our Biology Research Institute, including many medical staff at that time, were helpless about this terrible human change. In just a few weeks, these "worm-like" mutations reached the point of attacking people and animals and bloodthirsty and eating people. Even the camp of our Biology Research Institute was attacked by them, and two of my colleagues died tragically in the attack of "worm-like" mutations.
In the end, the government had no choice but to order all the people involved in the investigation and research of this incident, as well as those who were not wormed in the mountain village, to withdraw from the mountain village, and then dispatched troops to prepare to kill all the "wormed" people. However, I heard that when an army lured all the "wormed" people and was about to encircle and annihilate them, an old Taoist suddenly walked down from the mountain, stopped the attack of the troops, and after a close conversation with an official, he took action to rescue these "wormed" people. I don't know what happened later, but it is said that all of these "wormed" people finally recovered from their human form."
Pang Xiaotai asked blankly: "This is so amazing? Is that old Taoist possible that he is a god or something?"
As soon as he said that, Fei Yifan, who was standing beside him, kicked him hard in the ass. He turned around and looked at Feifan angrily, just about to ask him why he kicked himself, but when he saw everyone looking at him with a strange look, he realized how unreasonable he had said.
At this time, the old man named Liu smiled hard and said, "In fact, there are many wonderful things in the world, because the society at that time was in an extraordinary period of breaking superstition. I dare not make a conclusion whether the rumor of the old Taoist treating the "worm-like" people is true. What's more, thirty years have passed, and no one knows who the old Taoist is, whether he is a god, where he comes from, and whether it still exists in the world."
Dr. Lin suddenly interrupted the old man named Liu and said with a determined look on his face: "As long as there is a precedent, I must take Su Wenxiao away. No matter whether this scientific expedition task can be completed in the end, I will take him to Guangxi to find the old Taoist."
Minister An nodded and said, "Okay! Let's take Mr. Su and Dr. Lin. The scientific expedition is over. I will arrange for someone to go to Guangxi with you. If the rumors about that old Taoist are true, among the "worm-like" people he has treated, even though thirty years have passed, there will definitely be still alive. If you find them, you may find a way to treat the people who treated them in the past."
Speaking of this, Minister An arranged for two Uyghur militia to find ropes to tie "Mr. Su" who was transformed into insects, and to take care of the whole way. At this time, Dr. Lin's expression was not only a little sad, but basically returned to normal.
When the two militia were carefully tied up and looked extremely unhappy, they looked at "Mr. Su" who was grinning at Parhati and Escar, I whispered to Jiao Yiming about how to get to this underground building in the desert.
From Jiao Yiming's narration, I learned that it turned out that when Xiao Wenshu and Mr. Su set out to search for the missing old man Maimati and Dr. Qin, a search team composed of Jiao Yiming, Instructor Shui and two Uyghur soldiers searched east for less than a thousand meters. After a sand dune, I found a low stone house half buried by yellow sand. At that time, the door of the stone house was half-closed, and some human handprints were found on it, which looked like it had just been opened. After the four searchers entered the stone house, they found a strange black Thousand-Handed Buddha statue and a deep cave on the ground.
To be on the safe side, Instructor Shui immediately ordered the search team to exit the stone house and let Jiao Yiming stay near the stone house. Then the others went to inform the other two search groups and the people in the camp to come to the stone house. Everyone found the search teams of Minister An, Dr. Lin, Pang Xiaotai and Fei Yifan who were heading to the west, and the left-behind people in the camp, but for some reason, the Uyghur militia Parhati did not find our group.
Later, after two groups of search teams from east to west and the people who stayed in the camp arrived at the stone house, Minister An decided to enter the underground cave in the stone house for preliminary investigation, and then return to the camp to find us. At that time, Minister An originally intended to leave two Uyghur militias to guard the stone house and not go down to the cave to serve as a response. However, shortly after they entered the cave, the two Uyghur soldiers went down to the cave and caught up with everyone. According to the two, just as everyone came down to the cave, a large group of giant spiders came from nowhere and attacked into the stone house. The two had no choice but to jump out of the cave.
Just as everyone was talking, the giant spiders entering the stone house also followed the cave, so everyone followed the passage in the cave to the opposite bank of the river and came to the building through a black stone bridge (that is, the shadow that Xiao Wenshu and I saw before the lighter went out). Jiao Yiming pointed to a corridor and said that they had entered here by passing the stone bridge and then through the castle gate that opened in the long corridor. As soon as they entered the square, they encountered a large group of giant spiders. What happened next was what we saw.
I also told Jiao Yiming about Xiao Wenshu and I, how Mr. Su returned to the camp, and then found that there was no one. While searching for tents one by one, I saw the cave in the tent, and was surrounded by blue water-like substances. I had no choice but to jump out of the cave. On the way, I encountered a group of foreigners being chased by giant spiders, and then jumped into the underground river to avoid giant spiders, and finally entered the process of entering the castle.
After learning about the process of entering this castle, we all felt sincerely glad that we could reunite in such a strange process. At this time, the giant spiders who had just been chased by Jiao Yiming with a flame gun had already fled without a trace. We all began to look at the underground building with the light of the flashlight.
Since we are in it, we are not very comprehensive. However, this building should be large in area and looks like a small castle. All the buildings in the castle are made of gray-black stones. The location we are now in seems to be a small square, with squares of four corridors leading to four directions. Both sides of the corridor are stone walls that are only two meters high. Except for the two corridors that I, Xiao Wenshu and Jiao Yiming, who have entered the castle, they do not know where the other two corridors lead. In the location of the corridor to the right direction of the underground river, we can vaguely see many high and low buildings from afar.
Behind us, that is, the center of the square, a stone house building with a round steep roof of about four or five meters high attracted our attention. This stone house building resembles the large yurt we saw on TV or on the grassland. However, there is a square door hole on each side of the stone house, which is pitch black inside. I don’t know what the stone house is for.
However, judging by the giant spider that encountered here just now and the giant spider excrement everywhere in the square, the stone house seemed to have become a nest-like place where the giant spider occupies.
While we were looking at the building, Dr. Lin saw two Uyghur warriors tied "Mr. Su" tightly, and walked up to deal with the wound on his shoulder that I was injured. "Mr. Su" looked almost exactly the same as a furry giant spider, except that he had eight eyes and eight legs. Of course, since he was a human-shaped mutant, it was much larger in size than the giant spiders we encountered.
Two Uyghur soldiers pulled him up from the ground. "Mr. Su" was struggling with all his limbs and tried his best to struggle. His deformed mouth opened and closed, revealing his sharp and slender teeth and staring at his eyes and frightened us. Although everyone knew that he could not pose any threat to us, he still felt nervous. Is this the member of the scientific expedition team we all knew before, "Mr. Su"? The changes that happened to him were simply incredible. If everyone had not seen them with their own eyes, who would have believed that a person would actually turn into a big furry spider in just one or two hours? This is not the "Spider-Man" in American movies, but an incredible changes that actually happened to our scientific expedition team members.
At this time, we all saw that Minister An, an expert and a chubby desert geology expert Zhu Ming did not pay attention to "Mr. Su", but stood in front of the stone roof in the center of the square and pointed. Then Zhu Ming seemed to be arguing with the expert, debating something with each other.
Everyone hurried over and heard Zhu Mingzheng say, "I think our scientific expedition is purely a fool without real preparation and purpose. Judging from our experience on this day, this desert is very strange and dangerous. Many things and events show that we do not have the ability to explore this prehistoric civilization, whether in exploration or self-protection. I think we should return the same way. This stone house is clearly the nest of a giant spider. No one knows what dangers there are. I think human life is the most important thing, and we must never enter the stone house!"
The member of the expert group who was arguing with him was relatively thin, looked weak, and looked ordinary, but seemed very strong. After hearing Zhu Ming's words, he glanced at Zhu Ming with a scornful look and said: "Exploring the unknown will inevitably lead to dangerous existence. If you are afraid of death, you can stay outside. I think we must not miss every possibility of discovering the remains of prehistoric civilization, so this stone house must be entered, and we must also find out what is inside and what is left in it."
