When we came to the glass window, we all saw the eccentric Dr. Hu looking feverishly into the window. I looked into the window curiously, Mom, what is this?
What appeared in the glass window was an extremely strange creature. It was as red as fire, and its body looked like a skinny tree trunk. It could also be said to look like a snake. Looking out of the glass window, this thing was half as big as
It is more than 1 meter long, with thick arms, and the body is covered with dark purple spots. The tail seems to have been cut off, and it is very flat. The head is like a round ear of wheat, which looks like
It was as if someone had taken a photo of his flesh and blood, and his eyes, mouth, and other organs could not be seen at all.
Later I learned that this thing looks like this. It is a magical creature in the legendary desert. It is very rare. According to ancient legend, there is a bizarre legend circulating in the vast Gobi Desert - Gobi Sand Dunes.
There is often a kind of huge blood-red bugs that appear in the sky. They are very weird in shape and can spray highly corrosive and poisonous liquids. In addition, these huge bugs can also emit a strong current from their eyes, causing people several meters away to
People or animals are killed instantly, and then slowly devour the prey... everyone calls it the "death bug".
Everyone was surprised to see such a creature. Minister An said: "This creature is the legendary desert death insect. It was Dr. Hu who discovered it."
As he spoke, he patted Dr. Hu on the shoulder, who was staring intently with a fanatical look in his eyes, and then said: "Dr. Hu, please tell us about your experience with your fellow scientific expedition team members and the discovery of this death line.
The process of the insect.”
Dr. Hu turned around, glanced at the people around him expressionlessly, and then sneered: "I have nothing to say, I have already told Minister An about the process. In short, the Devil's City,
Death Worms are not something you people can see. I advise you not to want to go to that place again."
"What kind of place is that? What kind of devil's city? Old Hu, please explain clearly! I have known you for decades, and now you have gone to the desert, and how come you don't recognize me anymore?"
The speaker was an old man wearing large black-framed glasses. He was about fifty years old. His skin was darker, and his face was covered with marks left by years of wind and frost. He looked like he was a worker who had been sleeping rough for a long time.
Dr. Hu glanced disdainfully at the old man who was speaking, then a strange smile appeared on his face and said: "Old Zhu, I know that you have participated in many large-scale archaeological activities that shocked China and foreign countries, and you also know a lot about desert culture. But, then
The Devil's City... is not a place where people can go."
He seemed to be remembering some past events while he was speaking. I don't know why, but I clearly felt that his thoughts seemed to be strangely fluctuating for a moment. Dr. Hu suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at the "
"Insect of Death", then with a strange fear on his face, he pointed at the "Insect of Death" tremblingly and said: "It... it's talking! It said it will kill us..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden muffled sound from the glass window, and a large ball of green mucus instantly covered the entire window. Everyone was startled.
Dr. Hu suddenly made a strange cry and shouted: "Devil's curse! They are coming! They are coming...
While shouting, he covered his head and squatted down. He murmured incoherently: "They want to punish us... They want to punish us. The whole world will become a desert, and we are all sinners... The world is controlled by us.
Destroying, punishing…curse, punishing…curse…”
He murmured incoherently, and at this time, a strange and very thin sound could be heard clearly from the glass window covered with green mucus. I began to feel a little dizzy. I looked
After looking at the people around him, he couldn't help but scream in his heart. Everyone seemed to have blurred eyes and held their foreheads with their hands.
At this time, a voice shouted: "Everyone, get out of this wall window quickly!"
We all shouted and scattered to both sides as if we were running away. Only Dr. Hu was left squatting on the ground, covering his head and mumbling to himself.
As soon as I left the confines of the wall window, my head suddenly regained consciousness, and that strange little sound could no longer be heard.
At this time, a forty-year-old man wearing a gray, wrinkled Brazilian suit, who looked like a farmer, took a long breath and said: "What a powerful death insect! Fortunately, I thought of its legend.
Let everyone leave the glass wall window."
Pang Xiaotai, who was standing next to him, asked with lingering fear: "What was the sound just now? What's so powerful about that insect of death?"
The man shook his head and said: "I don't know what the sound of this thing is, but according to legend, once the death bug sprays out a green, highly corrosive solution, it will also emit a strong electric current from its eyes.
It is a magical substance that we cannot see or touch, but this electric current-like substance will destroy the brain nerves of people or other creatures in an instant, causing the person or creature to die in a very short period of time, and then it will slowly
to eat the dead prey.”
His words really frightened us all. What a terrifying creature this was. It was simply unbelievable.
Suddenly, a person pointed to the ground and exclaimed: "Look at Lao Hu! He...what happened to him?"
Everyone hurriedly looked at the ground. Dr. Hu, who was muttering to himself just now, was now lying on the ground. His body was curled up, twitching and vomiting blood. It looked like he was no longer alive.
I quickly pulled Jiao Yiming beside me, we looked at each other, and then rushed over. I quickly dragged Dr. Hu away from the wall window. Everyone gathered around him, and Lao Zhu squatted down and picked him up.
He hit Dr. Hu's head and shook it while shouting: "Old Hu, Old Hu, wake up!"
For about tens of seconds, Dr. Hu remained motionless, but his body was still twitching. Nao Zhu yelled a few times and shook his head sadly.
At this moment, Dr. Hu suddenly straightened up and stopped twitching. Just when everyone thought he was dying, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at Lao Zhu who was holding his head.
, and then said: "The desert stone is alive, it is the punisher of mankind. Because mankind has destroyed this beautiful planet."
Having said this, he struggled to stretch out his finger, pointed at the glass window that closed the "death bug" and continued: "It is the messenger of the desert devil city, and it is also a warning."
His words stunned us all for a moment. Lao Zhu stared at Dr. Hu in his arms and hissed: "Old Hu... you, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Dr. Hu looked at Lao Zhu steadily, and then said: "Don't try to find the Devil's City again. No one who goes there will come back alive. I came back because it allowed me to give a warning to mankind.
Stop destroying this world, otherwise punishment and curse will come faster!"
After saying this, Dr. Hu suddenly had a weird smile on his face, then he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and fell limply on Lao Zhu's arm.
Everyone seemed a little stupid for a moment. They just stared blankly at the body of the dead Dr. Hu and the last weird smile on his face. No one said a word.
I don’t know how long it took, but the middle-aged man dressed like a farmer broke the silence. He sighed: “I don’t know what Lao Hu went through when he went to the desert, but I understand his last words. Human beings have a deep concern for the earth.
The endless destruction and plundering is indeed too greedy. Maybe Old Husband is right, it’s time for humans to be punished.”
At this time, Minister An also said: "Mr. Zhong, as a scientist, I believe that there are some things that we must explore to a result before we can make a real decision or statement. After Dr. Hu came back, he has been unwilling to tell us where he is and where he is.
He just said that the entire scientific expedition team entered a mysterious ancient desert city, where gods like devils lived. The devil claimed to have come here on the will of gods to punish mankind.
The devil also asked him to bring back this legendary "worm of death" as a warning to us."
Having said this, he lowered his head and glanced at the dead Dr. Hu again, and then continued: "After I met Dr. Hu, I felt that he had undergone very strange changes. Many aspects of his thoughts and behaviors showed that he was no longer the same person.
In other words, his temperament changed drastically, as if he was controlled by something. This is very strange."
At this time, Lao Zhu also placed Dr. Hu's body on the ground, then stood up and said: "That's right! I, Zhu Ming, also felt that Lao Hu was not the original Hu Jincheng. I have known him for thirty years, and we have never been together.
We started working together when we were twenty, and then we did desert science and geology research together. We were as close as brothers. Just before he entered the desert, we were drinking and chatting, but... As soon as I saw him today, I felt that he had changed, like a
It feels like a stranger.”
Having said this, he looked sad, shook his head and looked at Dr. Hu who was lying quietly on the ground sadly, and said: "I didn't expect that now he would go away without any reason."
We all felt sad for a while. Looking at Lao Zhu and Dr. Hu on the ground, I thought of our comrades who had performed missions together and were now sleeping in those strange places. Suddenly, I looked at Dr. Hu lying on the ground.
With a stiff and strange smile on his face, his mind was confused for a while, and then he suddenly woke up. A strange thought came to him: Could it be that Dr. Hu and his scientific expedition team entered an area controlled by creatures from the outside world? And then they were attacked by those
People in the outside world have changed their physical or mental functions, becoming what they are now, and saying those strange words?
Just when these strange thoughts were popping up in my mind, Minister An said: "Everyone, follow me to my office first. I have invited you here on the order of the general to find out the mystery of the disappearance of Dr. Hu's scientific expedition team.
, the mystery of Dr. Hu’s drastic change in temperament, his strange words, and of course, the mystery of this legendary “death insect”. I will arrange for someone to deal with Dr. Hu’s body first, and then report it to the general to make the decision on the aftermath.
.”
So, we all followed Minister An and re-entered the elevator. Minister An pressed a green unmarked button, and the elevator slowly slid down.
