"The key is, how did he die!" Just when everyone was shocked by the encounter with Mei Qian's ghost ship, Zhang Yu was the first to react, squatting down and taking off the skeleton's clothes, and studied it carefully.
After a long time, he shook his head and said in confusion: "The ribs are broken. Looking at the angle of the force, the attack point is under the ribs. It's not like he was shot to death, but it seems like..." As he said that, he unfolded the mountaineering clothes and pulled the left
He showed several holes on his side to everyone, and gestured with his other hand, and continued: "It seems that a finger is inserted into the body from the left rib, directly penetrating the heart? What kind of weapon is it, and is it such an attack method?"
Mei Qian secretly looked at Ning Chi and had a guess in her mind, but it was just a guess.
Since no one answered Zhang Yu's questions, everyone had no time to continue their research. After reorganizing the team, they set off again.
As we go deeper, the light above our heads gradually weakens, and some places are even pitch black. In this atmosphere, every soldier can't help but become more vigilant.
Similarly, more and more bones began to appear on both sides of the canyon, all of them skeletons without flesh and blood.
Some of them have weathered and look very old at first glance.
Some of them look very new, and through the black holes in their eye sockets, it seems that they can still feel the fear and pain before death.
Most of them are animal remains, but there are also human bones.
Just looking at the clothes hanging above, some old coarse linen clothes fell apart at the touch of a touch.
Some are obviously modern people's clothing, and some decorations can be found on them, as well as mountaineering equipment scattered on the ground.
The team stopped for a moment in front of each human corpse. When no dead people were found wearing police uniforms, they all breathed a sigh of relief and moved on.
But when they arrived, the floor of the valley was almost filled with white bones. Every time they took a step, they would step on the bones, and crackling sounds could be heard from time to time under their feet.
From time to time, the wind blows, passing over the pit full of bones, creating a strange tune, sharp and sad, as if the souls of the dead here are crying and confiding.
The desolate and lonely valley, the bones of mysterious death and the silent marching team.
Coupled with the weird wind noise all around, it feels like a horror movie.
It's a pity that most of the characters in this type of film end up becoming cannon fodder.
I just don’t know who is the protagonist this time.
Because of his status as a civilian, Mei Qian was protected in the middle of the team. He glanced at the young soldier standing guard with a gun next to him, and unconsciously touched the position of the Spirit Transformation Seal on his chest with his right hand. If the risk here was just bugs, it would be nothing.
scary.
While he was thinking wildly, a soldier discovered another human skeleton.
"It seems that the target has indeed entered the valley." The team leader kicked the assault rifle held by Bai Gu. It was the weapon equipped by the mercenary who was killed before.
"He probably died not long ago." Zhang Yu sighed.
At this moment, continuous gunshots suddenly came from the distance.
"It should be the captain, let's all run forward." The squad leader cheered up and hurriedly raised his hand to order.
There were no old, weak, sick or disabled people in the team at this time, and the physical fitness of the only two civilians, Mei Qian and Ning Chi, was nothing to say.
After several minutes of marching, and shortly after the gunfire stopped, the team finally found the front team by following the barking of dogs.
However, what you see is an extremely horrifying sight that makes you tremble all over.
This seems to be a wide area of the canyon. The distance between the mountain walls on both sides is dozens of meters away, and the light is more abundant than other places. But at this time, the stones, sand, and bones on the ground are all invisible, and they are all covered by a blanket.
A creeping layer of black covered it.
Mei Qian could clearly hear the swallowing sounds of his companions around him. In fact, even he, let alone them, couldn't help but feel a little nauseous after seeing this scene.
Countless beetles covered the ground, and the barking of the wind and dogs were drowned out by the deafening rustling.
Without even looking at it with your eyes, just hearing the crawling sound of this insect is enough to make your scalp numb.
"It's the captain!" Someone pointed in the distance, and the squad leader hurriedly took the telescope.
Mei Qian had good eyesight and saw a dozen SWAT soldiers and two police dogs gathering together on a low platform, seemingly resisting the attack of the insect swarm. The only thing they relied on was the burning ring of fire around them.
.
They may have seen the team coming to support them over there, waving their hands and shouting something at the same time. Unfortunately, the rustling sound was so loud that even Mei Qian couldn't distinguish it when the sound reached here.
"What should we do if the captain wants us to go back?" the soldiers asked hurriedly, and there seemed to be tears in their words.
"Just walk over there." Mei Qian sighed and said straightforwardly.
According to his observation, the fire ring in front of it cannot last long. Once the flames are extinguished, the fate that awaits is probably being eaten into bones by insects.
If the person in danger is a tomb robber, he will definitely turn around and leave, but these people are innocent soldiers. If they don't do something, they will be sorry for their conscience.
Moreover, he had used the Spirit Transformation Seal several times, and he had already exposed it when it should have been exposed. It would not be a psychological burden to use it again at this time.
However, as a civilian, he had no say in the team. Seeing that no one except Zhang Yu and Ning Chi paid any attention to him, he emphasized his tone again: "I have ways to defend against these bugs." As he said that, he pointed his fingers towards the things crawling around.
beetle.
In fact, when they ran over, they had already entered the hunting ground of the insect swarm. Because of Mei Qian, the surrounding insects circled around and did not attack the team at all.
It's just that these soldiers cared about their colleagues and didn't notice.
After he reminded me, he also discovered this abnormality.
In order to strengthen her confidence, Mei Qian gently pushed away the soldiers in front and stood at the front of the team. When the squad leader stopped, he took two quick steps and ran towards the swarm of insects.
Then, everyone saw an extremely strange and shocking scene.
As Mei Qian stepped in, the originally peaceful insect swarm suddenly became lively. Like a drop of water falling into boiling oil, with a "swish" sound, the insects around him boiled as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
But I saw him take off a blood-red pendant from his neck, hold it in his hand, and gently shout: "Get out!"
And with this sound, with Mei Qian as the center, countless beetles really began to roll and flee, forming circles of insect tides, like waves of the sea, swaying in all directions.
In an instant, his body was completely clean, and there was no longer a bug.
"Follow me, let's get there quickly." Mei Qian turned around and said lightly. Then he took the lead and walked towards the low platform in the distance.
The remaining people looked at each other in confusion, seeing the shock and confusion in their companions' eyes.
The fastest responders were experienced Zhang Yu and Ning Chi. They looked at each other and smiled softly, then raised their legs and followed...
