Mysterious creature sightings

Lin Zheng's kick was so violent that it was visible to the naked eye. After Xin Zhi fainted from the kick, Xin Wen's cries were interrupted for half a minute.

The person involved remained calm and calm as if nothing had happened. While others were holding their breath and looking at him, he even had time to observe a little problem.

"The injuries on his body are no longer increasing."

Only then did they turn their attention to Xin Zhi again. The burns that appeared out of thin air on his face really stopped spreading, but the wounds that had already appeared were really uncomfortable.

Jiang Yuxing's voice finally became louder: "Then can we..."

"I guess not. That thing is still working in the body, so it's impossible to avoid this situation, unless you can stay in a coma like a cerebral vegetative state." Lin Jia said.

So they still have to die, and this can only be seen as a way to slow down the ending.

The atmosphere became heavy again.

Without saying a word, Lin Zheng distanced himself again, away from Ling Jiangyue, and exchanged a few words with Lin Jia. When he turned around again, he found that Ling Jiangyue had been staring at him.

He looked at him, but she looked away.

Ling Jiangyue slowly cast his eyes on Xin Zhi.

She has never encountered a creature with such a special ability, which can actually cause substantial wounds to occur through psychological factors in people's hallucinations.

What kind of creature is it?This kind of damage can be achieved without anyone noticing.

"This looks like a psychosomatic illness." Lin Zheng also turned away and told everyone about his speculation.

"There have been case records and conjectures in the history of medicine where psychological factors caused some organic damage to the body. However, according to the known data, such illnesses are basically internal."

"For example, some people believe that the coughing and wheezing of asthmatic patients are actually another way of crying when they are psychologically depressed, hoping that others will save them. Another example is that people who are prone to worry about gains and losses may cause gastric ulcers. Attack. It is unheard of for him to have wounds directly on the skin."

You can tell by looking at it that this situation is indeed unheard of.

Xin Zhi fainted, slowing down the progress of the accident. Xin Wen was finally able to breathe clearly and didn't even have time to worry about whether her brother's injuries from being kicked would be more serious than burning.

Probably thinking that there is nothing more terrifying than this mysterious and frightening phenomenon.

She held her chest and blew the air for a while, then suddenly asked: "Why is it that my brother is the only one who reacted so quickly? And we are all fine after more than ten minutes?"

She raised her face with a hopeful expression: "Is it possible that we are not infected at all?"

"The information you investigated clearly stated that five people had seizures after walking out of this mountain. It's too early for you to be happy now." Lin Zheng said coldly.

"But what exactly are they? Even if they are fungal spores, they will only have the strongest impact on the first person when they erupt. Maybe we won't be infected later?"

"After we went down, when was Xin Zhi blocking the front?" Lin Zheng asked.

Lin Jia had a good memory and answered directly: "In the first few minutes after we got down, they were always in front."

"So, we may be safe, but you may not be safe." Jiang Yuxing said expressionlessly to Xin Wen.

Xin Wen shook and turned to look at the burning marks on Xin Zhi's face.

No one spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was not as dignified as usual.

Xu Jiayan still maintained his ability to think clearly and made a guess: "Could it be that those people who had hallucinations and died when they returned home knew that there was something that could have such terrible consequences? Two or more of them came here together. , was infected at the same time, but someone thought of some way to temporarily delay the onset of symptoms. For example, taking sedatives."

"Ah?" Jiang Yuxing, an expert, asked. "The grass you found is basically stimulating nerve excitement, but when you stored it, maybe there was some sedative grass? They ate the sedative grass in a hurry, accidentally delaying the symptoms, and then ran away Get out of here. Of course, this is all speculation."

In this case, maybe the outrageous speculation is actually the truth.

They really started to think about the possibility of this speculation.

There was a rustling sound nearby, and it was the mycology professor who was still checking the protective clothing.

There was no damage that could be seen with the naked eye. He stretched the material of the protective suit tightly with both hands. After stretching it flat, he groped carefully and checked bit by bit. Now only the legs were left unchecked.

He asked Jiang Yuxing to help and continued to explore meticulously. He was bent at an angle that made it difficult to see clearly, so Jiang Yuxing was responsible for staring at every place. Finally, he found two or three small pinprick-like spots in the knee socket. With some kind of sticky substance.

"What is this? Are you really pierced?" He yelled out loudly, and Lin Zheng and the others gathered around and checked the fabric of each other's protective clothing on each other's knees.

There really are all of them, it just varies in quantity.

Ling Jiangyue and Xu Jiayan stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks over there, wanting to take a look too.

"What is it?" she couldn't help but ask.

"It looks like some kind of insect's back sting, or its mouthparts."

"Then it's not plants and fungi?"

"Why is there another insect? I didn't feel it was pricked. If it could be pricked to a point, the thickness of the mouthparts would definitely be felt."

"Unless it's like a tick, it can secrete an anesthetic so that people can't feel it."

Anesthetic?It is also a kind of drug, and it is indeed likely to be collected together by those who prepare to trade it together.What insect could that be?They saw no tiny insects down there.

Lin Zheng thought for a moment and then asked: "Xu Jiayan, how long until people from the CDC and the police arrive?"

Xu Jiayan picked up his phone and subconsciously took a step toward them: "There's probably more..."

"Get out of the way!" Ling Jiangyue suddenly pushed him away, shouting sharply, which aroused everyone's vigilance. They all stood up and looked at her.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zheng immediately took a few steps towards them.

"It's a toad, the toad you brought here!" She was still thinking about what kind of insects could secrete anesthetics and be collected as drugs. From the corner of her eye, she saw a black and purple toad in the grass jumping, as if it wanted to hit Xu Jiayan's legs. Jump up.

In the flash of lightning, she remembered that Lin Jia had said before that Americans like to lick toads as hallucinogens, and her thoughts immediately became clear - yes, they only think about plant fungi, why can't the most hallucinogenic thing be toads? Woolen cloth?

Maybe it’s those toads!
Moreover, the toxins on the skin of some toads can cause neurological disorders in humans. They can also accumulate their own toxicity by preying on poisonous insects, and some can even cause death in trace amounts.

"This makes sense. Those people did not have hallucinations after eating or inhaling natural nerve stimulants, but were poisoned by neurotoxins! They were destined to die. The way of death in hallucinations was caused by excessive nervous tension. ." said the mycologist.

Just find the culprit.

"This suspect frog does look a little different," Jiang Yuxing breathed a sigh of relief. "Looking at it, it may have secretly evolved two whiskers to inject toxins and paralyze our muscles. Their family is indeed He is very accomplished in neurotoxins.”

As he said this, he was about to grab the equipment to catch the frog for research, but Xin Wen frantically wrapped his hands in protective clothing and grabbed the toad, throwing it into the pot they brought, with the same fanatical light as Xin Zhi's before.

"It's ours! Brother, brother, look at me, I got that thing! It's really a neurotoxin!"

Dangdangdang, has anyone guessed it?This is a "killer" that Jiang Yue couldn't find in advance, and she refuses to admit that this thing is her distant relative.
