The lock on the trunk door was damaged by the attack and was inoperable and the door could not be opened. Wu Qi raised his long knife and slashed eastward towards the hard metal door. The blade covered by the torrent was indestructible and instantly sank into the thick metal door.
Wu Qi followed the mark of the long knife and cut a square gap in the metal door for people to enter and exit. A large piece of metal plate fell over, and Wu Qi lowered his head and got into the dark trunk door.
The backroom was dimly lit, with boxes for storing logistical resources piled up everywhere. Wu Qi moved his nose, took a few steps towards Choi, and found the body of a young investigator in the shadow of a corner where boxes were piled.
The badge on the chest of the investigator's uniform was the lowest level three, and his whole body exuded the distinct smell of corpse. Judging by the time, he had been dead for at most a day, but the stench of the rotting corpse was so obvious that it was probably because the entire heavy-duty field vehicle was buried in the sand and the ambient temperature was too high.
Wu Qi felt sorry in his heart that the soldier was dead rather than still alive, and then he squatted eastward and searched the uniforms of the investigators, hoping to find some clues.
Wu Qi took out a booklet with a pen. He opened the first page and saw the monthly date written on the top of the paper, and a few lines of essays on the bottom.
"Monthly diary?" Wu Qi felt strange. He flipped through a few pages at random and found out that the young investigator was a recruit who was on his first investigation mission.
Wu Qi turned directly to the last written page of the monthly diary. The arrangement of the words on the page was no longer neat, and the handwriting was not what he had written tremblingly.
"The powerful deputy captain was eaten by Wang Shascorpion. The captain led them to charge, and it turned out that everyone was killed one by one. The only veteran who ran into the car with him was killed in the car and could not start the car. Now he is the only one left who was lucky enough to hide in the backup warehouse..."
"The king sand scorpion is eating people at his door, and it started attacking the metal door again! But it seems like it can't get in. He doesn't dare to make a sound now, hoping that it will think he is gone and go away. It doesn't want to go in." Corpse, a resurrected corpse, the senses are not as sharp as before life, shouldn't it..."
"Wang Shaxiao is gone. Can the whole carriage be shaking? What does it want to do?"
"It's so hot! The back door can't be opened! Did that monster bury the whole car in the sand?"
"He can't open the door! The door lock is completely broken!"
"Will he suffocate to death in that small room? He is only in his early 20s, and he has not lived enough. Could anyone suddenly appear to save him when he was writing those words! He was so desperate even when he fell into the occupied area. At this stage, he survived, and after entering Dawn Base, he became the most dangerous investigator. That was the first mission, why did he encounter that kind of thing... "
"The operation console seems to be able to send an emergency message to the base, asking him to open the door..."
"I feel so dizzy and there is no oxygen in the car..."
"He is begging to be comatose. I heard that people can live for an hour after being comatose due to hypoxia. Can he be saved..."
Wu Qi read the handwriting written by the young investigator line by line. At the end, the handwriting started to fly and it was very confusing. The pen even scratched the paper. It seemed that when he wrote that, the young investigator had been driven crazy by the impending death. .
Wu Qi finished turning the page. His eyes widened slightly and he found that there was a page behind him.
The writing on that page was extremely neat, and the young investigator came back calmly.
"Wu Qi, what did you find inside?" Yue Zhanfei's voice came from outside.
"Yes, wait!" Wu Qi responded loudly.
That's the last page: "He must die. In this case, he will do his best to write some information, hoping that the text can be seen by others. Their No. 4 Investigation Team encountered continuous sand on the way back. In the dusty weather, they were attacked by two King Sand Scorpions that were half the size of a heavy field vehicle. One of them, the King Sand Scorpion, had a third-level defensive power in its carapace and tail sting. After a battle, they killed both King Sand Scorpions. In the former case, the torso of the King Sand Scorpion was penetrated by the explosion of the cone bomb, and in the latter case, the entire rear half of the King Sand Scorpion was blown up."
"Just when they thought both king sand scorpions were dead, the latter one came back to life! It launched a sneak attack while they were extracting its virus stock solution and killed people. Its carapace changed from earthy yellow to dark red. Covered with bright red lines like glowing blood vessels, they worked together to kill it again, destroying its torso and head. Then it stopped moving, and it seemed that it was really dead that time."
"It turned out that Wang Shascorpion, who had been killed the previous day, lurked in the sand sea and pursued him. He killed their strongest vice-captain in a sneak attack. After that, the whole team fought with him in close combat. The most terrifying thing happened. The previous one The head was destroyed, the torso was blasted through, and the back half of the body was blown away. The Wangsha Scorpion actually moved again! They both died. Yongwan's Wangsha Scorpion group destroyed their investigation team."
"He has never seen a plague that has its "heart" destroyed and its head destroyed. It can move and kill people, and their bodies have not regenerated at all!"
"He's finished."
Wu Qi silently glanced at the young investigator lying dead in the corner of the reserve warehouse, looked at him deeply with respectful eyes, and then walked out of the reserve warehouse.
Back outside the car, Wu Qi handed the monthly diary to Yue Zhanfei and summarized the information he obtained from the monthly diary.
Yue Zhanfei pinched Dongba and said with a serious expression: "It is really unheard of for a plague species that can attack living creatures to have its brain and heart destroyed."
On the way here, they had thought about the situation of "resurrected plague species", but they did not expect that the real situation would be so exaggerated.
Wu Qi thought for a while and said seriously: "There are only two kinds of death. One is to destroy the brain, and the other is to destroy the body. Destroying the body cannot kill the 'resurrected plague species'. Moreover, the carapace of the King Sand Scorpion changed color when it was resurrected, which shows that There must have been some kind of mutation on the outside of their bodies, allowing them to move like living corpses."
"The 'destroyed brain'..." Pi Chunsheng said slowly. His eyes suddenly glowed, as if something was red.
"No insects!"
Wu Qi nodded: "Yes, the king sand scorpion is a plague species of insects. The brains of insects are 'ganglions', and ganglia are spread throughout their bodies, so the destruction of their heads does not mean that all the nerves have been destroyed. ”
"If they encounter those two king sand scorpions, the way to completely kill them is to completely destroy their whole bodies, freeze them with ice, and burn them with fire!" Yue Zhanfei said.
While the three were discussing, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the northwest, blowing up a thick layer of sand and dust.
Confused by the sand, the three returned to the investigation vehicle. It turns out that the northwest wind began to grow rapidly, and it had no intention of stopping eastward; for one minute, all that could be seen was the dust dancing wildly in the east!
