Erosion

Chapter 285 Under the Skin
"I understand... let go." Zhang Zheng really had no memory of the fact that he had lost his mind again. He even stared at Zhao Ying unwillingly.

Jiang Shan looked towards the place where Zhang Zheng had just looked, but saw nothing.

It's just that there is an oval groove there, but the groove is empty.

"Go back and see how the doctor is doing." Wei Yuan suddenly said in a deep voice.

Several people quickly tried to take a few steps back. Just now, when Jiang Shan vigorously performed a miracle, he didn't know where he knocked the doctor.

After taking a few steps back, Jiang Shan lowered his head and picked up an empty white coat on the ground. But there was no sign of the doctor at all.

A little further on, there were glasses stuck in the mud, and more pieces of clothing.

This scene makes people stunned: "What is this? The golden cicada escapes from its shell?"

This is the first time I've seen someone throw away their clothes and run away, isn't it? The key is that I didn't hear anyone escaping.

Zhao Ying shined a flashlight on the ground and trembled: "No, there is still only a row of footprints on the ground."

This passage goes straight forward, and the other party must either go back or continue forward to meet them. There is absolutely no third way. Moreover, it was impossible for the other party to run so fast in such a short period of time and disappear without a trace.

It was as if this person had disappeared.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying actually shuddered. Disappear?
At this time, Jiang Shan opened the white coat in his hand and felt a sticky texture inside. Then he looked at the pieces of clothing on the ground. The edges were jagged, as if a strong force had torn the clothes apart.

Jiang Shan touched the sticky feeling and said, "Do you remember that he was sweating all the time?"

I'm afraid that the sweat that has been left on this person's face is not sweat, but something sticky like this.

"Ashan, look here, there is a small hole!?" Zhao Ying sharply saw a small, round, burnt hole near the back of the dress in Jiang Shan's hand.

Wei Yuan understood it as soon as he saw it, and felt a little cold: "It's a bullet hole."

Zhao Ying was really surprised: "And if this part is hit from behind, it should be close to the heart, right?"

Zhang Zheng suddenly exclaimed: "So that white-haired gun really hit him!"

But the doctor reappeared in front of them as if nothing had happened. Not to mention being shot, there was no sign of injury. "It's so evil..."

"When you grabbed his collar just now, did you feel that he was very light?" Jiang Shan suddenly asked Zhang Zheng again.

Eh? Zhang Zheng was stunned. He didn't pay attention just now. It seemed that he had picked up this person easily. Can Zhang Zheng be strong enough to pick up a tall man of 1.8 meters so easily?

Jiang Shan also said that he did not hit him hard, but the doctor flew upside down like a kite with its string cut off in front of everyone's eyes. The acting could not be so realistic.

"Look at the ground." The ultraviolet flashlights were all shining over, and the area on the ground that was just covered by the white coat was sticky, as if there was a thick layer of water stains on it. There was definitely no such weird water stain on the ground when they walked by just now.

Jiang Shan said slowly: "It seems that he did not run away. He probably 'evaporated' directly."

I have to admit that Jiang Shanzhen knows how to use words. The word evaporation makes people's legs weak. It's so vivid. "Steam, evaporate? How can a person evaporate?"

Is there anything impossible? The doctor kept wiping off the "sweat". How could there be so much "sweat"?

But this place is underground, so humid, and what they dug is water - the Tao.

Everything is water.

Jiang Shan had a weird but reasonable guess in his mind.

"Are you trying to say... that he is made of water?" Zhang Zheng and Zhao Ying were stunned.

Why, I still agree with that sentence, people are made of water.

"Either he turned into water, or the water here turned into him." Jiang Shan said slowly. So it's no wonder that there is no sound of escape, and the performance is like turning into water on the spot.

"Perhaps that's how the hundreds of underground workers disappeared."

Some seemingly bizarre speculations are often the most likely to be true.

"A few hundred people?" Zhao Ying was horrified. So scary. All turned into water?

Although 60% of the human body is water, it is impossible for a person to turn into water... Jiang Shan felt the stickiness in the palm of his hand, which was obviously not the kind of "water" in the ordinary sense they understood.

"No wonder he keeps wiping sweat, but it's wrong, he, he seems to be like this not long after he got into the cave." Because of this, they didn't doubt it. I thought this was the doctor's unique move.

"Not necessarily," Wei Yuan frowned, "Don't forget, our memory is incomplete."

None of them knew how long it had been since they discovered the anomaly in the cave and realized there might be a problem. It’s just that they think they “just discovered it”.

So the doctor had no idea when the abnormality occurred.

Jiang Shan said at this time: "That Zhou Hu also has a problem." She had seen it before.

"Zhou Hu?" When Zhang Zheng heard this, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Shan suddenly reached out and grabbed him. His eyes were as wide as bells: "So, you pulled me on purpose?" Otherwise, he could really have ignored him. We must also keep up with the white-haired team.

Jiang Shan did not deny it. In short, it is a good thing to be separated now. "Now that we are separated, it depends on whether they can find it out." If they can't find it out, they deserve it.

Zhang Zheng was moved: "Miracle Shanshan...it turns out you were helping us at that time."

Zhao Ying said: "These people all disappeared inexplicably and then suddenly came back." The person who came back was still not him.

No one knows what happened during this missing time.

"I don't think Bai Jin is that stupid." Wei Yuan said, "It's his nature to be suspicious."

For a person who leaves the team and comes back, the probability of not being suspected is almost zero.

"What if there is more than one Zhou Hu and more than one Dr. Chen?" Jiang Shan's faint words pulled everyone into deathly silence.

"I, we only remember Dr. Chen and Zhou Hu..." What about what they don't remember? In the blank space that they don't remember, who else has fallen behind and come back.

Is it possible that everyone in a team has been replaced?

Zhang Zheng suddenly hammered his chest and said dryly: "Well, you can check me, it's absolutely real. I'm not made of water."

It turned out that the real material could still be used in this way, but it was doubtful that it would be difficult to destroy it together. Zhao Ying couldn't help but pinch her arm quietly. So scared.

"You are all true." Jiang Shan's words were like the sound of nature.

If getting lost and coming back is the key, then their team has never been separated from the beginning to the end.

Several people were really relieved, but Jiang Shan's next words made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave: "Because if you are not true, you are already dead at this moment."

The following is a hypothesis. There is some kind of "water-type" creature underground that can stick to people's bodies, penetrate into bones, and occupy people.

Zhou Hu and Dr. Chen are both dead.

The current ones reappear wearing their painted skins.

"Ashan, what do you know?" Zhao Ying couldn't help but turn pale.

Jiang Shan turned over the clothes in her hand. She had just discovered that there was a small piece of skin-like substance attached to the clothes. She pulled the thing off and after touching it, she was convinced that it was indeed a piece of "human skin". There were dark brown dried blood stains on the skin.

The road under my feet seemed to tremble, and suddenly it shook violently several times, and there seemed to be a faint rumbling sound.

Even before Zhang Zheng could vomit, he was shocked and turned pale again: "What's going on? Can there be an earthquake underground?"

Wei Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he realized something: "It's like explosives."

As if in response to him, several more booms rang in his ears, and shock waves came over like ocean waves.

"Did that Bai Mao do it?" This kind of equipment is only available in Bai Jin's team now. What happened over there was that explosives were fired, which almost penetrated the ground.

"Is he crazy? Aren't you afraid that the cave will collapse?" It won't involve them being buried alive, right?

Wei Yuan paused and said: "The soil is deep and we are far away, so it won't collapse."

It's just that what happened to Bai Jin's team in the distance is unknown.
