Lu Sheng threw the remaining protective suits from the space into the K3's car.
The bespectacled young man scratched his head in surprise, "How come I didn't feel anything?"
“Nuclear radiation is colorless and odorless. If you only feel it now, you’re not far from death.” Ma Dongmei flicked the bespectacled young man’s head impatiently. “Hurry up and find a place to pee. It’s hard to take off the protective suit once it’s on.”
"Okay, Sister Dongmei."
The others at the K3 base also got off their vehicles in twos and threes, preparing to open the floodgates for waterproofing.
Wearing a protective suit is a hassle, so you should try to eat, drink, and relieve yourself before putting it on.
Considering that there were three young girls with Lu Sheng and her group, the K3 base team members collectively crawled into a small grove of trees a dozen meters away and took care of the matter with their backs to Lu Sheng and her group.
"I always feel like something is watching us."
Zhuangzhuang shuffled over, stepping unevenly across the soft mud, and cautiously approached Lu Sheng's calf.
Lu Sheng rubbed Zhuangzhuang's round head, "Can you tell me the exact location?"
“No.” Zhuangzhuang’s azure pupils narrowed into a vertical line. “The information is very weak and intermittent. Every time I’m about to catch the source of the information, it disappears again.”
"Now? Can you feel it?" Lu Sheng naturally tightened his grip on the knife hilt.
"It seems to be in the direction of the woods?"
As soon as Zhuangzhuang uttered the last word, a shrill scream came from the direction of the woods.
Lu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw only a spray of blood mist.
"ah!"
The K3 team members, who had been gathered together to relieve themselves, suddenly became a chaotic mess and stumbled as they ran towards the convoy.
Some people didn't even have time to pull up their pants before they tripped over them and rolled to the ground after running a few steps.
Just as someone reached out to pull him up, the soft ground suddenly caved in, swallowing the fallen person whole.
"Holy crap!" Zhang Xiaojuan exclaimed as she jumped out of the car in surprise.
Lu Sheng and the others, along with Su Zheng, rushed over immediately, but the ground had already returned to its original level, as if nothing had happened.
"The same over there, the person is gone, all that's left is a pool of blood."
Ma Dongmei and Lin Xiaobao rushed to the grove, took a look, and immediately returned to Su Zheng's side.
"What happened?!" Su Zheng looked at the survivors who had just run back from the direction of the grove with a serious expression.
One of the older men, after regaining his composure, said, "Just now, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from underground and dragged the person down in one gulp."
What is that dark shadow?
"I didn't see it clearly...it was too fast."
As they were talking, a rustling vibration suddenly came from under their feet, accompanied by a rustling sound.
"Young Master Su...you...behind you!"
The man who was speaking turned pale and pointed tremblingly in Su Zheng's direction.
A dark shadow suddenly shot out from under Su Zheng's feet, lifting him four or five meters high.
The soft, sticky soil beneath their feet trembled, and several dark figures emerged one after another from the ground, lunging at the terrified crowd.
While dodging the deep pits that kept appearing underfoot, Lu Sheng finally got a clear look at the dark figure.
It is a black worm that is more than two meters long, covered with a layer of solid scales. Its head has no eyes, only a sharp and huge mouthpart.
It is exceptionally agile in the soil, completely concealing its presence once it burrows underground, making it impossible to detect its presence each time it appears.
"What is this?!" Zhang Xiaojuan asked, summoning an earthen wall to protect her teammates while running to Xu Yi's side and launching into Blue Cat's 3000 Questions.
"earthworm."
Without changing his expression, Xu Yi lifted Zhang Xiaojuan by the shoulder, avoiding the black hole that had just appeared beneath their feet.
"Damn, no wonder it felt so soft when I got out of the car. It turns out these things have wrecked the place." Zhang Xiaojuan used the soil spikes to create sharp blades and swept them at the mutated earthworms that rushed up.
"Don't cut off their bodies!" Lu Sheng warned urgently.
But she spoke too late; on the other side, Su Zheng and the K3 team had already worked together to dismember the mutated earthworms into pieces.
However, as soon as the broken torsos hit the ground, they rapidly grew into new mutated earthworms at a speed visible to the naked eye, rushing towards the crowd with their mouthparts open.
It went from a few to dozens!
"How do you know you can't cut it off..." Ma Dongmei asked in surprise as she struggled to dodge the attacks.
Lu Sheng gave a helpless twitch of his lips. "Didn't you hear the joke when you were a kid about how the earthworm dad wanted to play soccer, so he cut himself into eleven pieces?"
“Sister Dongmei, you’re not a ‘nine-year-old’ (meaning someone who slipped through the net of compulsory education), are you? Isn’t this an experiment that junior high school students have already done?” Zhang Xiaojuan shook her head from the side. “City kids haven’t experienced rural life, have they?”
Ma Dongmei: "..."
Shouldn't this kind of class be taken over by the homeroom teacher? Are they taking advantage of her because she's never had a lab class before?
