"What's going on? Where did the gunshots come from in this mountain?" Xiangyu's face suddenly became alert.
"Let's stop talking and find a rock close to the cliff to hide and see what's going on above." Chen Mo said, his eyes were already moving around, probably looking for a suitable place.
"Chen Mo, go over there," I saw a huge square stone hanging diagonally on the cliff on my right.
"Let's go quickly," the professor said, already running towards the stone I pointed to.
A few of us hid under the boulder and watched the battle quietly.
"The battle above is so fierce. It seems that the strength of both sides cannot be underestimated." Xiangyu said as soon as he stood still.
Suddenly, a person fell from the top of the cliff.
There was a loud "bang" when it landed.
When several of us saw this scene, we all stood quietly under the boulder, not daring to say a word.
The gun battle probably lasted for more than half an hour, and then it became quiet.
In the process, the number of corpses that fell to the bottom of the cliff continued to increase.
One of them actually hit the boulder we were hiding from, and then rolled down from the boulder and landed in front of us.
The corpse was shot in the middle of the forehead. I don't know if it was because of falling from the top of the cliff, so the guy's eyes were almost vomited out of their sockets.
The eyeballs are connected to the fleshy threads in the eye sockets and hang on the eyelids.
The scene in front of me was really too terrifying.
Even for a grown man like me, it makes me nauseous.
Xiangyu immediately covered her mouth.
I don't know if she is scared or wants to vomit.
The corpse that fell in front of us was a foreigner, which reminded us of Andrew instantly.
Could it be that one of the parties involved in the gunfight above was Andrew?
At this time, the professor suddenly spoke slowly and slowly: "It seems that Guiyiyuan has already begun to take action."
Return to one hospital?
The three of us raised our heads in confusion and looked at the professor with puzzled faces.
"As you know, Andrew actually represents foreign forces, so currently the only one in the country that can resist him is Guiyiyuan." The professor stared at the yellow-haired corpse on the ground and said solemnly.
"Professor, by taking action from Guiyiyuan, doesn't it mean that we have an extra layer of help? After all, Andrew has caused us a lot of obstacles along the way." Xiangyu looked at the people on the ground with contempt.
said the corpse.
"Well, on the contrary, Guiyiyuan's action shows that this matter has reached an extremely urgent level. We may have to speed up." The professor said with a serious face.
"Extremely urgent, professor, do you mean the astrolabe?" I asked as well.
"Yes, in fact, regarding the astrolabe, even a veteran of this matter like me knows very little. All the latest research information is the top secret of the country. Unless it is particularly necessary, it is
Those of us at lower levels will not be allowed to come into contact." The professor looked at me, as if he was answering my question, and as if he was speaking to everyone.
In what the professor said, this "grassroots staff" really surprised me.
People like the professor, who was almost the first discoverer of the astrolabe and dedicated his whole life to this organization, can only be regarded as grassroots personnel. So who is the core leadership of this matter?
How many unknown secrets are there in the astrolabe incident?
Just when I was in a daze, Xiangyu suddenly screamed.
She immediately covered her mouth.
Because the gun battle on the top of the cliff has stopped, although we don't know which side has won, but no matter which side wins, it is not a good thing to expose yourself at this time.
"You, you, look." Xiangyu was so frightened that he couldn't hold his tongue straight.
I was wondering in my heart what could scare Xiangyu into being like this.
But when I turned my eyes towards the outside of the boulder, I almost screamed in fear.
The corpse that had just fallen from the top of the cliff and landed right in front of us now had its head filled with lizards that were probably only as big as my little finger.
The bodies of those lizards are light blue, and in the dark environment, there seems to be a mysterious color floating on the surface of their skin.
The tails of lizards are extremely long, and since there are so many lizards, those long tails almost wrap around the heads of the yellow-haired foreigners.
"Professor, what are those lizards doing? Are they eating the foreigner's head?" Xiangyu asked in a low voice.
"Don't talk yet, let's wait and see for a while," the professor did not answer us immediately, yes or no, but stared straight at the head on the ground entangled with the lizard's tail, and said in the same low voice.
.
We stood motionless on the spot, fearing that we might accidentally scare the lizards enjoying their meal on the ground and get angry.
After all, everyone has seen the power of iron worms.
About five minutes later, the lizard tails that were originally wrapped around the body's head suddenly came loose.
Immediately afterwards, lizards glowing with light blue light, having eaten and drank enough, quickly jumped down from the head of the corpse with a satisfied look, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, several of us started retching at the same time.
After the lizards dispersed completely, the head of the corpse had been eaten away until only the brain tissue was left, and a pile of yellow hair was left on the ground.
It turned out that the skulls of those corpses wrapped in square hole gauze were missing like this.
So these lizards, which we originally thought were from the same sect as the shamans, could they actually belong to the Sirians?
I was wondering in my heart, and at the same time I raised my head and glanced at the others.
Xiangyu was a girl after all. Even though she was well-informed, she couldn't bear the sight of such a bloody brain tissue in front of her, so she didn't dare to look directly at the corpse on the ground.
The professor and Chen Mo were already squatting in front of the corpse and began to study it.
I also endured the sour water that surged out of my stomach from time to time, and knelt down beside Chen Mo with a frown.
"Do you think it's strange that these lizards didn't attack us even though we stayed at the bottom of the cliff for so long? But as soon as this yellow-haired man fell down, he attracted a swarm of lizards." Chen Mo said.
"Could it be because of the smell of blood?" I blurted out as I recalled the blood that kept pouring out of my forehead when the yellow-haired man fell down.
"It can't just be because of the blood. Think about it, when Xiangyu's leg was hit by a thunderbolt at the Zhuyin Temple, blood also flowed out. But, did any of you see the lizard at that time?
?" Chen Mo said.
"If it's not blood, what is it? I can't think of it." I said.
"Is it possible that these lizards only eat the heads of dead people, so they only appear when there are corpses," the professor said.
His statement is actually more logical upon closer inspection.
"It's just that, in this case, lizards have nothing to do with the Sirians. The Sirians study the brain tissue of people on Earth and want to extract parts useful for perceptual thinking. They can't use the brains of dead people, right? People die.
The brain died along with it, so there is no point in further research." Xiangyu was still standing under the boulder, but also participated in our discussion.
"Anyway, as long as the lizards don't attack us, it will be fine. I think this problem may not be solved for a while," I said.
"Zhou Cang, we must figure it out. You see, there are so many lizards in the mountains and they appear almost all the time. Therefore, if we don't understand the prerequisites for lizards to attack people, it will be very dangerous to act rashly in the mountains.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle." After hearing what I just said, the professor began to lecture me.
Just when I was feeling a little embarrassed after being told by the professor, the sound of a tweeter suddenly came from the top of the cliff.
"Zhou Cang!"
It was a very familiar voice, it felt like grandma.
