Mysterious creature sightings

There were so many floating creatures in the cave that human ears could no longer hear sounds from the outside world, and no one answered the communicator. A group of people just lost track of one person.

Fortunately, the sonic scanner still had some effect. When they were shouting at the top of their lungs, Lin Zheng finally heard the subtle sound coming from the other side of the cave.

It was strange. Logically speaking, at such a distance, the floating creatures would swallow up the sound. Even if her cry for help could be heard, it should be intermittent.

But at that moment, Lin Zheng could clearly hear the trembling and fear in her voice.

It was just that the situation was critical, and the strangeness of this moment was forgotten before he could think about it carefully. He quickly ran towards the direction of the sound.

"Ling Jiangyue!"

Others wanted to shout too, but he raised his hand to stop them. He shouted, listening to the sounds on the other side as he ran.

After a while, the voice over there became clearer and clearer.

"Lin Zheng!"

It's really over there.

It's good to find the person, so as not to completely lose the trace, otherwise it will be really difficult to report to the Ling family.

"Don't run in a hurry. The creatures floating in the air will swallow the sound. You need to walk gently and don't attract more." Lin Zheng kept walking and calmed down when he spoke.

With this calmness, all the things that had been ignored when the hormones were high suddenly emerged.

How did she leave the team?
Why did she arrive on the other side silently?What have you been doing?
Did she know beforehand that floating creatures could swallow sounds?

Is the fear you feel now real or just an act?

Every time he thought about these questions, he became calmer. When Ling Jiangyue's figure appeared in his sight, his eyes behind the goggles could only be scrutinized.

Ling Jiangyue pretended not to know and stumbled back to the team.

She was about to throw herself into the crowd, but she accidentally stepped on an uneven stone and almost fell to the ground. Lin Zheng, who was standing at the front, subconsciously stretched out his hand and was grabbed by her.

The act of gasping for air caused the white mist in the respirator to fill up the transparent mask. She was anxious to breathe slowly. Lin Zheng lowered his head. In the short-distance light of the headlight, he could only see her slender fingers exerting force.

Holding his wrist tightly.

"What's going on?" Everyone surrounded her, Jiang Yuxing asked anxiously and seriously, "When did you leave the team?"

The locks at their waists were connected, and he would have been the first to feel it had she been alone.But the fact is that everyone disappeared, but he didn't notice it at all.

Lin Jia helped Ling Jiangyue along her back, pulled her up, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I..." Ling Jiangyue was still panting rapidly, shaking his head, grabbing Lin Zheng's hand and holding on to it. After his breathing subsided, he immediately told him, "There's something, there's something looking at me!"

The life scientist in the team quickly asked: "What is it?"

"It's very high. I don't know if it's black or transparent. I can feel it. The air around it is undulating. But before I could call you, it turned around and looked at me, and then..."

"Then I followed you without knowing it. I walked to somewhere. It was very dark. Then I heard your voice. I turned on the light and ran back, calling you but no one answered me."

The more she spoke, the more her voice shook, and it sounded like she was afraid.

Lin Zheng is like a cold-blooded and ruthless King of Hell. People are scared to death. He insists on asking about his crimes before death: "How long have you been gone?"

"It doesn't seem like it took long." Ling Jiangyue replied blankly.Lin Zheng: "Based on the distance you ran back, it doesn't look like there wasn't much..."

"If the effect of adrenochrome is really similar to that of mescaline, then her ability to perceive time and space will be reduced." At this time, an anthropologist next to her said that they had mentioned the adrenal glands when they were talking about ore spiders. Pigment's transformation problem on her.

Lin Zheng was silent for a second, let go of the question, and asked her again: "You said you followed that thing when you saw it. Could it be that it has the ability to confuse people visually? Then why were you the only one to be tricked?"

Ling Jiangyue was looking forward to his comfort, but she only waited for a series of questions. She made an aggrieved expression and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's my high sensitivity to the color of the environment?"

"Then how did you leave quietly? There were people in front and behind, but no one noticed that you were missing." Lin Zheng meant that she must have used some method to sneak away on her own.

But Ling Jiangyue's brainwaves were not in the same line as his, and his eyes were still shining with tears. He asked curiously: "Is that when you noticed that I was missing?"

"..." Lin Zheng looked at her quietly, "I ask you why no one saw you walking away?"

"How do I know? Shouldn't you ask them? Why didn't anyone notice that I was lost?" She felt uncomfortable being asked, and let go of his hand, crying clearly as she murmured.

Lin Jia coughed and reminded him not to press forward so hard, it would leave scars on him.

Several scientists looked at him disapprovingly.

Lin Zheng was silent for a moment, filing away these doubts, and then pulled her to signal her to return to the team.

"Follow me and stop running around. The floating creatures here may swallow the sound. If you get lost again, no one will hear you no matter how you scream."

After saying that, he went to pull the buckle on her waist and cuff her with him, but as soon as he cuffed her, her wrist was grabbed by her again, as if she didn't want to be with such a vicious person like him.

Lin Zheng raised his head, looked at her colored figure in the infrared goggles and said, "It's safest to follow me..."

"It's coming again," Ling Jiangyue's voice began to tremble again, and the hand holding him was painfully tight, "the air is fluctuating."

Everyone tensed up for a moment, gathering together and holding their breath while looking around.The person from the Special Adjustment Office stood on the outermost floor. Lin Zheng observed the surroundings, his hand slowly moved to his lower back, and he quietly held the gun.

"In which direction?" he asked in a low voice.

The overwhelming number of floating organisms blocked everyone's sight, and no one could see any approaching organisms through infrared goggles.

Ling Jiangyue looked at everyone's reactions cryptically, her voice still frightened: "On the left, it seems to be barking."

Xu Jiayan: "These floating creatures can also absorb the voices of transparent people?"

Lin Jia: "Maybe it will also cover its figure. They can't be seen in the infrared scanner, and the transparent people can't be seen either."

Some microbial scientists are ready to take action: "Maybe the biggest gain from this trip is these floating creatures..."

"There's a shadow on the left!" Ling Jiangyue said nervously, holding on to Lin Zheng tightly.

They looked through the only short-distance light, and there was really a shadow passing by on the cave wall!
"It's a bit like butterfly wings," Jiang Yuxing was the first to notice. He kept his voice low, trying not to attract more floating creatures, "but the light is emitted from us. Logically speaking, there can't be such a thing in that direction. Magnified shadow.”

Unless, that creature's wings themselves are huge.

Lin Zheng had already pulled out his gun and pointed it in that direction, but suddenly he stepped on something, making a crisp click sound in the silent cave.

He looked down and his expression became more solemn.

"A pile of animal bones. Be careful, the stuff in here is carnivorous."
