Wu Yun had tinnitus for a while, and before he had time to shake his head, Toby hit Wu Yun a second time, which made Wu Yun pass out completely and lay on the steering wheel.
Toby laughed, looking gloomy and irrational.
He got out of the car, and the silver spider crawled into his collar again. He dragged Wu Yun out, threw it on the back seat, then got into the driver's seat and drove the car forward, bumping all the way through the dense forest.
They passed the delivery car, and Toby, as if he hadn't seen it, rolled over his companion's corpse entangled with crystal silkworms, and came to a towering ancient tree entangled with countless vines.
These vines are hundreds of thousands, curling up to support each other, and the huge ancient trees are like pillars, towering into the sky, under the entanglement of the vines, forming a huge tree castle, and even outline a shape similar to a window lattice , the vines are intertwined into rolling lines, like an ancient Rococo building, exuding elegance and mystery.
Toby dragged Wu Yun out of the car and carried Zhou Yu down as well.
The light fell from the crevices of the vines in the tree fort, like a trickle of light.
Silver-white transparent butterflies dance between these beams, like strings of crystal lamps.
Toby dragged Wu Yun to a hole in front of the tree castle, pushed him in, and then threw Zhou Yu down.
The silver spider crawled out from between Toby's collar and jumped towards a hanging vine, the silk thread connecting it and Toby was broken, Toby suddenly lost consciousness, closed his eyes and fell down , just fell into that hole.
They slid down the cave and plunged into a wide, dark tree hole inside the underside of the huge ancient tree.
At the same time, Zhou Qing pushed aside a pine nut and sent it to Mo Ye's mouth: "Mo Ye, do you want to eat pine nuts?"
Mo Ye curled up into a ball, huddled on the chair beside Zhou Qing, and occasionally stretched his legs and fiddled, making the chair turn, as if he was amusing himself.
Its ears are drooping, its eyes are closed, and it doesn't know what to think.
Zhou Qing tilted his head: "Pine nuts... Zhou Yu liked to eat these when he was a child, and he has a lot in his pocket! Would you like to try it?"
Mentioning Zhou Yu, Mo Ye suddenly opened his eyes, a touch of gold flashed across his amber pupils, and Zhou Qing was stunned, thinking that he was wrong. He was about to rub his eyes when Mo Ye suddenly straightened his back and jumped off the chair.
"Mo Ye! Where are you going!"
Mo Ye came to the door and slammed it hard, but the door didn't open. He turned around and looked at Zhou Qing with a strong look in his eyes.
"You want to go out? Why? Is it too boring to be with me?"
Just as a researcher came in, the moment the node's door opened, Mo Ye rushed out.
Zhou Qing quickly chased after him.
"Mo Ye! Where are you going! Come back quickly!"
But Mo Ye rushed out of the room without hesitation and ran quickly in the passage. At this time, a field team member happened to pass through the passage gate. The moment the gate was about to close, Mo Ye rushed out from under his feet, but Zhou Qing didn't have time to keep up.
"My God! What's going on!" The field team member still couldn't figure it out.
"Professor Zhou! Don't you hurry up and notify the control department?" Zhou Qing's assistant rushed over and asked Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing stood where he was. He had a feeling that Mo Ye's reaction was because something life-threatening happened to Zhou Yu. If so, he would let Mo Ye leave instead of locking it up here.
He pretended that he hadn't reacted to anything, and stayed where he was, until after ten seconds, Mo Ye had completely passed through the inner core of the base and rushed to the base's extension.
Song Zhi finally got the news and sent an order to the system control center of the base to lock Mo Ye here.
No one knows how Mo Ye did it. It seems to always know which channel will open in this labyrinth-like base and when someone will pass by!
It passed through the closed gates at the most thrilling moment. At this time, a field team returning from the outside was about to enter the base. At the moment when the gate was opened, Song Zhi ordered: "Close all nodes! No one is allowed to enter or leave! Stop it! You must stop it for me!"
The personnel in the system control center fell into a cold sweat. The speed of their thinking and the speed at which their fingers input codes are far less rapid than Mo Ye's. It is like a black lightning bolt under monitoring, breaking through the limits of vision and thinking.
Mo Ye's figure was like the illusion of a meteor piercing the night sky. It ran out of the gap that was about to close. It jumped up on the hood of the Hummer that was blocking it in front of it. Only a loud noise was heard, and the front hood of the Hummer was deflated. Going down, even the front wheel blew out.
The system controller was completely stunned; "It's so fast! We can't predict where it's going, but it knows exactly which gates are being passed!"
With Song Zhi's hands on the table, Mo Ye had no doubt that he possessed some kind of perception that surpassed that of human beings.
Through the monitoring and replay of the system, Song Zhi saw Mo Ye's face, and its eyes were firmly looking ahead, as if no matter what obstacles stood in front of it, it would break through them.
Cold sweat dripped from Song Zhi's forehead.
It can be seen that Mo Ye is fully capable of leaving the base by himself, and the reason why he did not leave is just because of Zhou Yu.
At this moment, Zhou Yu's head was buzzing, and after finally regaining a trace of clarity, he slowly sat up.
There was darkness all around, and in the darkness, there were countless silver light spots flickering. He covered his eyes and finally saw clearly that those light spots were actually butterflies with silver wings.
When his eyes were completely adjusted to the darkness, Zhou Yu was able to see everything around him clearly. This huge space is interwoven by various vines. Above his head, he could still see the vacant window-like position with a regular shape. It should be almost night now. The afterglow of dusk falls from the gap, and the ground is neatly like a window lattice. shadow.
Wu Yun and Toby fell beside him. Zhou Yu immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it between Wu Yun's neck, feeling the throbbing of his carotid artery, Zhou Yu finally exhaled, and Wu Yun was still alive. He tried Toby again, and Toby was still alive, but his hands and feet remained twisted. Zhou Yu knew that some creature must have controlled Toby and raided him and Wu Yun!
Zhou Yu carefully observed this space, it seemed that it had been carefully calculated, and it could not be natural for Nibelungen creatures.
The wall of the tree castle in front of him was actually part of a huge ancient tree. The silver butterfly flapped its wings and flew slowly to Zhou Yu's side, as if it was to illuminate him and let him see the wall clearly. There are various carvings on the wall, and Zhou Yu's fingers are attached. These notches are very deep and are intentional. When the light gradually gathered, Zhou Yu could finally see them clearly, it was a portrait of a woman. She is lifelike, and her eyebrows, eyes and smiles are heart-warming. No matter who portrayed this woman, Zhou Yu believed that he had a deep admiration for her.
Zhou Yu took out his own recorder and pointed it at the picture above to shoot it. If he could return to the base alive, he would hand over everything to Song Zhi. Whether this place is designed or carved, it reflects human civilization.
But using ancient trees as pillars, weaving and interlacing vines into walls with Rococo patterns, and manipulating silver butterflies to become the lights in this tree castle, all of this is beyond human beings, at least an A-level biology.
"Welcome to my world."
The light voice sounded, Zhou Yu looked around but saw no one.
He suddenly realized that the sound came from his brain, just like Elpis, a certain A-level or above creature, was communicating directly with him through his brain.
"Who are you?" Zhou Yu immediately returned to Wu Yun and Toby's side.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I have seen many interesting things in your brain. You are a human being, but Elpis chose you."
"What do you want to do?" Zhou Yu tightened his muscles and put his hands on the gun at his waist. The gun is still there!
"My original purpose was very simple, to treat you as my food and my nutrition. But it is a pity that some kind of drug was injected into your body. If I eat you, it will be very bad for my health. I can only wait. , until the drug is metabolized in your body."
"I see."
Zhou Yu knows that no matter what he plans or wants to do now, he will be perceived by this A-level creature. More importantly, this tree castle is completely controlled by it. It is impossible for him to leave with Wu Yun. , even if he wanted to leave by himself.
"Well, I'm glad you have this kind of mentality. You are like a cat and a mouse to me. The longer you can spend with me, the longer I will keep you. But once you make me feel If you are boring, I will open my mouth and eat you in one bite."
The voice was teasing and teasing, and I wonder if it was just playing tricks on them or scare them, at least this kind of scare was a little childish.
"Then where is your mouth!" Zhou Yu asked coldly.
The voice laughed again, a little wildly.
"My head is on the ceiling, my feet are under yours, my fingers are around your throat, and as for my mouth... Where is it? You are already in my mouth."
Zhou Yumi raised his eyes: "Why do I think you are bluffing!"
"Oh yes? Look back."
As soon as Zhou Yu turned around, he found that those vines were hanging down from the air, rolling up Wu Yun and Toby. Zhou Yu immediately ran away, pulled out the spear from his waist, and fired several shots at the vines.
Toby was completely swept away, Wu Yun was hanging in the air, and the vines hit by Zhou Yu released Wu Yun. Wu Yun fell and was caught by Zhou Yu.
He looked up and found that a large piece of vines on the top of his head had turned withered color, indicating that the bullet hit by Zhou Yu had played a role.
So Zhou Yu unceremoniously shot at the part that had not withered, and soon, a large area of green vines above his head turned yellow-brown.
At this time, Wu Yun, who had been in a coma, finally woke up. He was completely stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. Here and before are two completely different worlds.
Zhou Yu said coldly, "Pull out your spear!"
Wu Yun didn't say a word, he stood up, aimed the gun at the same place as Zhou Yu, and his nerves were tense.
Those yellow-brown vines gradually peeled off from the air, like dead poisonous snakes. The green vines rolled out of the criss-cross pattern, clinging to each other and tightening, and even the previous window lattice was blocked. Without those silver butterflies, there would not be even a shred of light.
Although Zhou Yu's shot just now was effective, because there were too many vines here, even if they fired all the bullets, they couldn't disintegrate the tree fort.
"You've caused me so much trouble, and if I don't do anything, I don't seem to be doing the right thing. I have to give you some warning."
The voice in Zhou Yu's mind sounded again, the vines above his head stretched out, and Toby, who was caught in just now, suddenly fell from a height. Zhou Yu rushed up to catch him, but was dragged back by Wu Yun, the group of silver butterflies flew over, the cold wind swept over their heads, the wings seemed to be turned upside down, and the cold light suddenly appeared, like countless sharp blades , across Toby's body.
Only seeing scarlet blood splashing around, Zhou Yu opened his eyes wide but could not do anything. When the group of silver butterflies were far away, Toby's body was nothing but bones.
It was only three seconds from start to finish, and Toby didn't even have time to scream.
As if nothing had happened, they spread out leisurely and danced in the interior of this tree castle, like starlight in the darkness, making people full of yearning.
The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, this time Zhou Yu clearly realized it.
The backs of Wu Yun and Zhou Yu were already sweaty. Facing such creatures, the guns in their hands were of no use at all.
"Okay, the new game starts again. Who will be the next artwork, you and your friends, to bloom with red blood flowers here?"
Zhou Yu's pupils trembled, and he suddenly said loudly, "Where's Wu Yun's lighter!"
Wu Yun threw the lighter to Zhou Yu without asking why.
At this time, the group of butterflies was gathering, ready to fly over, they erected their wings again, and were ready for the next slash.
"Wu Yun! Come near me now!"
As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, Wu Yun rushed to Zhou Yu's side: "Do I need to hold you tight!"
Zhou Yu ignored Wu Yun, just took off his coat and picked up the branches on the ground. The moment he lit the lighter, the silver butterflies that quickly approached them formed a circle, lingering on the edge of the fire. Dare to come forward.
"Zhou Yu, you are really amazing, you know that these guys are afraid of fire!"
"Get your vodka out now!"
Wu Yun didn't ask Zhou Yu how he knew about the vodka he kept secretly, and immediately threw a small iron bottle from his waist to Zhou Yu.
Seeing that the fire of the lighter was about to go out, the group of butterflies tightened abruptly and was about to rush towards them. Wu Yun could even feel his face being scraped by their wings, and he was in burning pain.
The moment Zhou Yu ignited the lighter again, the group of silver butterflies suddenly dispersed, and the light of the lighter flickered far and near.
Wu Yun helped Zhou Yu to pour vodka on his clothes and tied it to a branch. With a slam, the flames jumped up and illuminated the inside of the tree fort. The butterflies that could not help but approached them before were burned by the flames and made a crackling sound. It gave off a peculiar smell, neither the stench of carrion nor the smell of burnt meat, but a faint aroma.
Zhou Yu knew that he could not relax, and soon these flames would burn out, and the speed of death would be very fast.
"Wu Yun, do you still have anesthesia bomb on you?"
Wu Yun shook his head: "It seems to have fallen. It's quite lucky to be able to keep the gun!"
Zhou Yu suddenly caught a glimpse of Toby's remains with some equipment. He held a torch and came to him with Wu Yun. Zhou Yu lowered his body to rummage, and Wu Yun held a gun to guard his surroundings.
Zhou Yu finally found a narcotic bomb, and he said to Wu Yun, "How many seconds can you hold your breath?"
"Hey! Can my breath-holding time be measured in seconds? At least in minutes, right? Three to five minutes is fine!"
"I thought you could hold your breath for 10 minutes, expecting you to carry me and rush out from here."
"Then I still expect you to carry me and rush out!"
"It's okay, you can faint with confidence!"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu even found an oxygen mask from Toby's body!
"Toby is fine! I threw away the configuration of both of us, and I still keep my own. Otherwise, I will faint!"
Wu Yun quite understands what Zhou Yu is thinking: when the anesthesia bomb works, these vines should spread out, otherwise all the creatures enclosed in this space will faint, and Zhou Yu and Wu Yun have a few minutes. They are all wiped out. If you don't want to be eliminated, let the anesthetic air dredge out. There will be gaps.
At this time, Zhou Yu thought of the voice of the A-level creature again in his mind.
"Zhou Yu, you're so naive, do you think I'll let you go? I'll let you suffocate here! Until you can't bear to faint, and then I'll let you endure a hundred times more severe than you are now. double the punishment."
Zhou Yu ignored the threat of the other party, and he knew in the bottom of his heart that he had to resist if he wanted to survive.
When Zhou Yu was ready and Wu Yun was suffocated, Zhou Yu threw the anesthetic bomb into the air, the anesthetic gas dispersed, the frequency of those silver butterflies fluttering slowed down, and then fell all over the ground.
Without hesitation, Zhou Yu lit the torch on the ground and set the butterflies on fire.
As time passed, those vines guarded the space tightly, leaving no gap for Zhou Yu and Wu Yun to escape.
Soon the bodies of those butterflies were also burnt out, leaving only the torch in Zhou Yu's hand as the only light in this space.
At that moment, Wu Yun stared at Zhou Yu with wide eyes, as if to remind him of something, but in order to avoid being inhaled by anesthetic gas, Wu Yun could not speak.
Zhou Yu turned around cautiously, and saw a silver spider hanging down from the air, suddenly jumping to his face.
Zhou Yu was startled, and neatly took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it in his face, but the spider jumped between his neck and quickly got into his collar.
Zhou Yu threw the torch to Wu Yun without saying a word. He was about to take off the oxygen mask on his face and give it to Wu Yun, but he was a step too late. He only felt that his vision fell into darkness in an instant, and his limbs were moving. Not controlled by his own brain, he couldn't hear anything and couldn't see anything.
Zhou Yu knew that the spider must have been hiding in the crevices of the vines and had not been exposed to the anesthetic gas. The burning of the silver butterfly consumes not only the oxygen in this confined space but also the anesthetic gas. When the concentration of the anesthetic gas decreases, the silver spider appears.
The name of this spider is called a marionette. The name is quite vivid. It can use its own silk thread to invade the muscles and nerves of the sojourn, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the other's body. However, unlike the Wind Whisperer, the Wind Whisperer needs to fully enter the body of the host, but the silk thread of the marionette will not be infected by the host's blood or any medicine.
Zhou Yu shouted loudly, regardless of whether Wu Yun could hear it or not.
"Wu Yun! Leave me alone, grab my mask, either kill me or knock me down! Remember, one of us must survive!"
Wu Yun raised his gun and aimed it at Zhou Yu. At this time, Zhou Yu was crazy. He pulled out the Swiss Army knife on his thigh and kept attacking Wu Yun. Wu Yun will not give up after a thousand cuts.
Wu Yun was in a cold sweat. Although he could hear Zhou Yu's cry clearly, how could he shoot at Zhou Yu! Once Zhou Yu was shot, he would definitely die.
Wu Yun said to himself in his heart: Damn it! Die together!
Wu Yun slammed the torch on the ground, and the flames reflected on the interlaced vines, like a monster emerging from hell.
Wu Yun also took out the Swiss Army Knife from his waist and competed with Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's body is strong, but Wu Yun can only dodge Zhou Yu's attack in a thrilling manner, although the Swiss Army Knives collide in the air, wiping out a little spark.
