Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 41 The Deadly Statue

Everyone held their breath, raised their attention to the limit, and carefully felt the slight changes around them.

ACE's [Reaper] team is equipped with night vision goggles, but from their current angle, they can't fully see the inside of the corner, only a small piece of black things exposed.

Xia Feng picked up the dim light with trembling fingers. To be honest, he didn't look too carefully because he was too nervous just now.

At first, he just thought that the silhouette of the black figure in the corner looked like a human being. When he brought the dim light closer, he seemed to see a human face. Because his mind was too tense, he instinctively screamed, and the light It also fell to the ground.

Now everyone surrounded him, as if they were facing an enemy, which made him wonder if he was dazzled just now, maybe it was a statue or something.

Wei Na stared closely at the dark corner, her voice full of undisguised murderous intent.

"Whoever you are, come out to me right away, I'll count to three."

"one."

"two."

"three."

There was no movement.

Kate looked at Verna.

"What should I do? I'll go over and find him out?"

Wei Na shook her head.

"I can't feel the breath of any living things. It may be something inhuman."

One second, two seconds, three seconds... Time passed slowly in silence.

There was a stalemate for about 30 seconds. For some reason, the atmosphere was a little delicate.

ACE sighed, then put away the shield, and said in a deep voice.

"Stay where you are, I'll go and have a look alone."

Wei Na also felt that this stalemate was not an option.

"Kate, you go there with Brother ACE, and retreat immediately when you find the danger."

"Yes."

The two walked slowly towards the corner, one behind the other. Kate held the tomahawk tightly and looked serious, while ACE looked calm, as if he already knew that the things in the corner were not dangerous.

Xia Feng took Guigui's hand, nervously watching the backs of the two slowly leaning towards the corner.

After a while, ACE's thick shout came.

"Not the enemy, the danger is lifted!"

Hearing ACE's words, everyone's tense spirits instantly relaxed, and they booed together. The uniform appearance was like watching a football match when a striker passed all the way and dribbled the ball. When he threw it behind him, he kicked the ball onto the door frame.

"Tch, what the hell are you doing?"

"Xia Feng, I love your sister."

Xia Feng looked embarrassed, he could only squeeze his head and squeeze out an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little too nervous because of the eerie surroundings. Hehe, I'm sorry, everyone."

Wei Na finally breathed a sigh of relief, she gently put down the arm holding the hammer, and said to everyone.

"Everyone continue to rest, Xia Feng, come with me to have a look."

"Oh."

Xia Feng was also a little curious, what was that black shadow he saw just now?
After settling the tortoise, Xia Feng held a dim light and followed Wei Na towards ACE and the others.

After approaching, I saw Kate pointing to a black thing in the corner and said.

"It's not the enemy, Xia Feng, what you saw just now should be this thing."

Xia Feng looked intently.

When he saw the outline of this thing clearly, he still couldn't help but feel a little hairy.

To be precise, he was not mistaken just now. This thing is indeed a "person" from the appearance. This "person" is about 1 meters tall and should be a woman. Unable to distinguish, the eye sockets on the face are sunken, and the face is ferocious, which looks very shocking.

Xia Feng carefully identified it, and said with some uncertainty.

"Is this a statue?"

This is the square of Mandel City. To be honest, it is very common to see humanoid statues in the square, but Xia Feng can't figure it out. Why would there be such a terrifying statue in the corner?

After all, Xia Feng stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the surface of the statue to see what material it was made of.

"Snapped!"

Wei Na next to her opened Xia Feng's hand.

"Don't touch it!"

Xia Feng clutched the back of his hand that was sore from the beating, with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong? Isn't this a statue?"

"No."

"Huh? So what is this?"

Wei Na bent down to pick up a piece of gravel, and scratched lightly on the arm of this "statue".

"Shh!"

I saw that the gravel easily broke the statue's skin, as if it had been cut on a piece of foam board. Xia Feng brought the dim light closer and found that the cut inside of the "statue" was actually glowing with a yellowish shimmer.

"This is."

Wei Na threw away the gravel in her hands, pulled Xia Feng by the collar and dragged him to a position five meters away from the statue. When Wei Na cut the "statue" just now, Kate and ACE were already far away. far away.

Looking at the hideous "statue", Wei Na said in a deep voice.

"This is the corpse of an infected person."

"Depend on."

Hearing Wei Na's words, Xia Feng's whole body trembled, and he was afraid for a while.

He is very clear that the number of infected people in the world of Terra is very large. Although the ore disease will cause their organs to fail and suffer, it is not highly contagious. Even if ordinary people travel and work together with infected people, As long as there is no too close physical contact, it is basically not contagious.

However, when the infected person is killed, the situation becomes more difficult. The infected person's corpse will quickly fuse with the Originium substance in the blood, emitting a highly volatile gas. Within a short period of time, the corpse of the infected person will become a highly contagious source of ore disease infection. If it is not dealt with in time, the existence of this source of infection will last for several years.

The black thing in front of him turned out to be the corpse of an infected person!

Xia Feng took two steps back and forced himself to calm down. He wore a mask and took anti-infection medicine. Even if he got infected unfortunately, he still had a syringe on his body.

Since he chose to venture to Mandel City with Wei Na and the others, he couldn't be so nervous all the time. He had to prepare for the worst and be aware of all the consequences.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Feng stared at the dark corpse and asked questions.

"Why has 27 years passed, and the Ursus officials haven't disposed of the corpses of the infected people? Just put them in the abandoned city without asking?"

Wei Na shook her head.

"I can't figure it out either. Logically speaking, even if this place becomes a dead city, the corpses of infected people should be disposed of in time, otherwise it may cause unpredictable consequences. However, the appearance of this corpse is a bit strange."

Hearing Wei Na's words, Xia Feng also felt a sense of disobedience.

He was too nervous just now, but now it seems that this corpse has one of the weirdest things.

That is, why is it standing?
There are many forms of natural disasters, such as meteor showers, fire storms, lightning strikes, poisonous smog, etc. No matter what kind of situation is mentioned above, it is impossible for people to stand intact and die in place, even if the surviving residents are unfortunately infected after the natural disaster. With ore disease, it is impossible to die standing in the city.

This method of death is more like the infected person was fixed in place by some means while they were alive, and died slowly in pain.

At this moment, Wei Na who was next to her let out an exclamation.

"Xia Feng, look over here!"

Xia Feng trembled from being shouted, and immediately turned around and held up the dim light to follow Wei Na's gaze.

Just less than three or four meters away from him, there was an infected corpse that was exactly the same as before!
"This"

There is more than one such corpse?
Xia Feng felt a chill down his spine, and unconsciously leaned against Wei Na.

Looking at the gloomy environment around him, he was just about to drag Wei Na back to the team as soon as possible, when he suddenly noticed that Wei Na's expression was a little unnatural.

"Vina, what's wrong with you?"

"There are many."

Verna frowned.

As a member of the Aslan tribe, Wei Na's eyesight at night is naturally much better than Xia Feng's. Although she can't distinguish colors accurately, she can still see the general outline.

She saw it.

In addition to the two corpses beside him, there are many standing corpses scattered in the square in the distance. These corpses have different postures and hideous expressions, which look extremely strange in the square at night.
