Chapter 227 Heart of the Hive (2)
The molds squirmed slowly in front of Su Wanqing's eyes. They were alive, like a group of soft tissues.
It was the first time she had seen such a scene. The underground of Xiushan Lake Park would never be a cavity. Before the government planned the land, it would conduct a geological survey. If there was a huge cave underneath, then it would not be destroyed.
Instead of transforming it into a park, a cave tourist area will be built with great fanfare to attract tourists from all over the country.
This underground cavity only appeared later. Will "Hel" actually take root underground?
Just like a tree, its roots extend dozens of meters deep into the ground.
She guessed that the cavity slowly formed over a period of six years. It might have been just a small naturally formed cavity at first, and then the mold invaded there and expanded outward every day, like ants building a nest, which took several days.
In a matter of years, this place was hollowed out.
No wonder you can't see any carpet of bacteria on the ground. It turns out they all grow underground.
After the mother is born, they should burrow through the ground and cover the land, just like breaking out of an egg. They will also slowly hatch and grow in the underground world.
This is a world that humans have not yet touched, and she is the first human being to see it all.
She left her earthly kingdom and fell into the paradise of mold.
The air was filled with the unique rotten smell of mold, and the mold occupied her field of vision. Everything that the flashlight could illuminate was filled with wriggling black foam.
She fell weakly onto the cushioning bed made of mold, feeling like a small bug stuck in a spider web, about to be wrapped in spider silk and then digested as food.
so cold.
The wound was bleeding outwards, body temperature was losing, and my headache felt like it was going to explode.
She saw the time on her watch. Only ten minutes had passed since she fell.
She hadn't slept since the day before yesterday and had stayed up all night for two nights. Her body was constantly sending signals to her to rest, and she felt a strong sense of sleepiness that was about to overwhelm her.
If it weren't for the physical pain and external senses stimulating her, she would have definitely fallen asleep and probably would never have a chance to wake up again.
Fortunately, only ten minutes had passed, not too long. If it had been too long, she would have been digested by these molds.
Will anyone come to save her? Hundreds of soldiers are accompanying her. If they are still alive, a rescue team should be sent.
She looked up with difficulty and took off her watch. The light of the flashlight illuminated the area above her, and water was dripping from there.
It is raining outside, but what is falling is not rain, and there is no sound of rain here.
The top was closed, with foam-like mold forming the ceiling several meters high, and directly above her, there was a strange depression.
She was in a closed space, and the light illuminated the holes in the walls and ceiling. Wind blew from the holes, and it seemed that these holes extended in all directions.
Her whole body was wet and sticky, and there was damp mold on her clothes.
There was an error in the guess. She did not fall from a height of about the fourth floor. The real height was probably much higher than the fourth floor.
She imagined a model in her mind, a three-dimensional model like a honeycomb. This nest was located underground and had many layers. It was very huge. As she fell from a height, gravity accelerated her, and she landed on the surface of the nest.
The surface of the nest is composed of molds gathered together. They are like foam, loose and scattered. The foam cannot support a falling person, so it penetrates the surface like a membrane.
Her whole body was soaked, and there were scattered molds everywhere on her clothes and hair. In the process of falling, she didn't know how many layers of film she passed through before stopping. The mold on her body was scraped off at that time, and the depression on the top of her head was
prove.
Others fell with her, but she didn't see it around. The soldiers had heavy equipment. If the real situation was what she expected, then they would fall to a lower level.
No wonder there was no rescue, and she fell into the mold's nest. This place was like a maze, and no one could find her at all.
Even if it is found, it seems to be of no use. She has a trauma, a bruise that breaks the skin and bleeds, which means that she is infected.
Yes, she has antibodies, but only antibodies from indirect contact. She is immune to the few mold spores circulating in the air, but if the wound comes into direct contact with mold, she will still be sentenced to death.
She knew very well what would happen next. With this level of contact, she would turn into a walking zombie within a few days.
This is still an optimistic thought. In fact, there is no way to wait until that time. The surrounding mold has noticed her body temperature and is slowly gathering towards her. Before the infection breaks out, she will be wrapped up and suffocated to death.
She would die quietly, and her body would become a breeding ground for mold.
She tried to send a distress signal with her watch. A few minutes later, the faint sound of footsteps came from a certain hole.
Is anyone here? The soldiers are wearing thick protective clothing and safety helmets. If they fall from a high place, they will not be seriously injured and may be able to stand up.
Although joining the soldiers could not save her from danger, it was better than waiting to die alone. At least she hoped that someone could pull her out of these molds.
She listened carefully to the footsteps, held down the flashlight switch, and turned the light on and off in the dark space, hoping that this would attract the person's attention.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and became clearer and clearer, but when she really heard the sound clearly, she held her breath.
She turned off the flashlight and shut her mouth tightly.
Those were not human footsteps, but something crawling, mixed with a slippery crawling sound.
Suddenly I understood how these hollows appeared. During the nest casting process, it is normal for hollow bubbles to appear, but under normal circumstances, the bubbles are not connected to each other.
These passages are provided for something to travel back and forth. It is even possible that these are holes drilled by that thing.
How could the lair be empty? The lair should be the monster's base camp, and she was in this base camp with blood oozing out from her wounds.
She was stuck to the spider silk, and now, the spider crawling on the spider web sensed its prey and was crawling towards her, and deep fear emerged from its heart.
The thing appeared in front of her, a snake-like crawling creature, like a leech magnified dozens of times, without eyes, but with a sharp ring-shaped mouthparts.
It was coming towards her. After a brief pause, it locked its direction and crawled towards her.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, but suddenly a hole appeared under the leech, and it fell from the hole with a sharp neighing sound.
Everything became quiet again, as if nothing happened.
