During the more than two hours of rest, everyone slept, except Dong Zheng.
Now that it is clear that the target of the parasitic bug in Allen's body is himself, it is impossible for Dong Zheng to relax his vigilance in front of Allen today. There is no reaction time to deal with.
So he took up the job of guarding. It has been a whole day since he entered the dungeon. After experiencing all kinds of high-intensity thrills, Dong Zheng has not even closed his eyes, and has long been exhausted.
However, in real life, when he first started his business, he often did not sleep for two days and one night. In the days when Dong Linhai was idle in school and didn't do serious business all day, Dong Zheng relied on his youth and good health, and went to work desperately, just wanting to prove himself to some people.
Dong Zheng yawned. He went into the kernel to take a look, and found that the data flow had not run erratically. He knew that he could support it for a while.
He sat at the entrance of the cave, his eyes slowly swept across the sleeping faces of Dong Linhai, Wang Que, and Allen, and then looked outside. The sun had not yet risen over the mountain, but the light on the snow was still dazzling enough.
Dong Zheng looked back, there was no other movement on Lin Hangzhi's side, and he was probably resting.
He closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into the inner world again, but this time, he came to the center to see the Arabidopsis growing quietly.
Since the first seal of Cui Zuojing was lifted and gradually grew again, several clusters of flower buds at the top of Arabidopsis thaliana bloomed one after another. lift.
The pure white center was still empty, with only Dong Zheng and this grass. Dong Zheng stared at it, not knowing what to think, a gentle look appeared on his face.
His fingertips lightly touched the small flower of Arabidopsis, and his thoughts entered it.
Cui Zuojing opened his eyes.
He frowned suspiciously. Just now Dong Zheng passed him some information - Alan, who was controlled by the bug, always wanted to kill Dong Zheng
The distance between the two is too far to use the prisoner link to talk directly in the heart as before, so Cui Zuojing can only unilaterally accept the news from Dong Zheng.
Through the blood contract and data, the information transmitted by Dong Zheng is three-dimensional. In short, Cui Zuojing can see what happened at that time with Dong Zheng's vision, as if Dong Zheng gave him the memory.
Accepting everything Dong Zheng wanted to tell him, Cui Zuojing took a deep breath, almost certain that Kether was also involved.
The situation is worse than he imagined. If it's just a J, he might be able to handle it, but if Kether, who represents the will of the box to a certain extent, starts... It's really walking on a tightrope every step of the way. .
We must hurry up and meet with Dong Zheng.
Cui Zuojing thought about it, seeing Lin Hangzhi, who was sleeping unconsciously, hiding in a sheltered place on a rock, with his eyes closed and saliva flowing from the corners of his lips. After all, he couldn't bear to wake up the exhausted doctor now.
Forget it, let him rest for a while.
Three hours later, Dong Zheng woke the three of them up one by one. Dong Linhai fell asleep and thought that he was still at home and would be called by his mother to get up to go to school.
"Linhai, don't sleep."
Huh? Did my brother call him today
Dong Linhai forced his eyes to open a slit, and immediately woke up when he saw Dong Zheng, who was fully armed, the sun shining in from the entrance of the cave, and the snow-capped mountains outside.
Yes, he was already dead.
Wang Que sat awake in a daze, Allen grabbed a handful of snow and slapped it on his face, forcibly driving the sleepiness away.
"How do you feel?" Dong Zheng asked him.
"Fortunately, I just feel thirsty." Allen took a few sips of natural ice water from the pot, swallowed it in his stomach, and it was chilling.
Victor said that after being infected by some parasites, the host is prone to thirst and will go around to find water sources, because water is a breeding ground for the parasites to breed the next generation. When the parasites reach the water's edge, the parasites will control the host. It is thrown into the water, and it can take the opportunity to breed.
Wang Que checked the position of the worm for Allen. Compared with when they first started to rest, the worm moved up by five or six centimeters. As Victor guessed, it gradually approached Allen's brain.
There was no time to delay them, Dong Zheng stood up and said, "Let's go."
Dong Linhai yawned, seeing that Dong Zheng's eyes were a little red, and he pursed his lips before speaking.
There are still two days until the end of the box, so I can't stay up all the time.
On the other side, Cui Zuojing and Lin Hangzhi had already set off again.
They finally found the path planned by the box. After walking a distance, they were delighted to find that there were traces left by Dong Zheng and others on the road.
Just keep walking in this direction to catch them!
Cui Zuojing has added a lot of points in all aspects. It is not a problem for him to travel. The only restriction on the speed of the two is Lin Hangzhi. Lin Hangzhi is worried about Alan's safety, so he does everything he can to suffocate his head. Going forward, the speed is amazing, and it bypassed two hills in more than half an hour.
There were a lot of bugs along the way, and they didn't care much because they had protective clothing.
After the sun came out, the snow on the mountain melted to a certain extent, and the snow water would not re-congeal so quickly, and flowed down the hillside, forming a stream with the thickness of a finger.
"Hey, I'm so tired. I really don't know how long it will take to get to the research institute." After walking so fast, Lin Hangzhi's physical strength was about to run out again. He calmed down his rapid breathing and stretched out his hand, wanting to be there Rest for a while on the side rock wall.
But the expected hard touch didn't appear. Lin Hangyi put his palm down and felt as if he was pressing on some soft and sticky biomass, sinking half of his arms into it.
He was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand, and saw that the half of his arm was already full of viscous juice, and nearly a hundred purple worms were sticking to it, rolling and squirming.
The place he pressed down just now had a large indentation, and the insect nest disguised as a rock wall was almost destroyed by Lin Hangzhi at once. The eggs and pupae were stuck to the innermost side of the nest, and only a few survived.
The adult worms were completely angry because of the damage to the nest. These worms with strangely colored wings were the size of a thumb and flew out of the nest like a swarm, heading for Lin Hang!
That overwhelming power makes your legs feel weak!
Lin Hangzhi: … … … … … … … … …
Lin Hangzhi let out a girl-like scream, slapped the larvae on his arm vigorously, and ran away.
And Cui Zuojing, who witnessed the whole process, was stunned. Once again, he had a fairly intuitive understanding of Lin Hangzhi's ability - who knew that he could press a worm's nest with just a push
He said "hello", and seeing that Lin Hangzhi's back running away in a hurry was about to disappear at the corner of the path, he had to quickly chase after him.
