315 Plastic Man
◎Bai Cheng is a plastic man?◎
When Zhu Ning felt that the plastic bag was alive, he suddenly heard a bang. The grave next door seemed to be summoned by some force, and a hand stretched out from the ground.
Those were rotten bones, covered in black mud, but the gaps between the bones were covered with colorful plastic, looking like some kind of grotesque work of art.
Zhu Ning reacted quickly and retreated quickly when the plastic corpse attacked.
Zhu Ning stepped on the trunk of a huge tree with his back foot, but the plastic bag followed him like a shadow, so Zhu Ning had to dodge in the air. When Lin Xiaofeng reacted, Zhu Ning was already standing on the top of a nearby pine tree.
Pei Shu and Lin Xiaofeng took action when Zhu Ning was attacked, and retreated in the direction of Zhu Ning.
Bang, bang, bang—
Corpses crawled out of the tomb one after another. The extent of their coming out varied. Some had only their eyes exposed, while others had their chests exposed.
The trees here are surprisingly tall, averaging over fifteen meters. Zhu Ning stood on a small spot on top of the tree, staring intently down.
This time she saw clearly what was attacking her. It was a combination of a plastic bag and a corpse. Some faded plastic wrapped around the rotting corpse, with a corner of it sticking out from the eye sockets. There was plastic stuffed in the throat, and the gaps between the skin and fat were also blocked by plastic.
If someone were to dissect these bodies and cut along the chest, they would see plastic bags inside the bodies distributed layer by layer like tree rings, with the internal organs and the plastic completely fused together.
Some of the corpses had no eyeballs, only the eye sockets were left, or two pieces of plastic were stuffed in them, but anyone in this cemetery could feel that the corpses were watching them.
Plastic is non-degradable. Before the pollution occurred, the only incidents were animals accidentally eating plastic. After the pollution spread, plastic and humans actually became connected.
Is this why Bai Cheng is immortal? Is she partly made of plastic?
Before, Zhu Ning had doubted whether this was Bai Cheng's location, but looking at the method of controlling the corpse, it was definitely Bai Cheng without a doubt. But the question was how could they find where the real Bai Cheng was?
Lin Xiaofeng and Pei Shu also climbed up the tree, and Zhu Ning landed flexibly on one of the tree trunks. The purpose of these plastic corpses should be to guard the bodies, and their attack range is limited.
Zhu Ning knelt on one knee against the tree trunk and asked, "Did Bai Cheng only say the four words 'Ghost Head Cemetery'?"
Pei Shu recalled that when Bai Cheng went to die, his head was flying in the air and the shape of his mouth was definitely "Ghost Head Cemetery".
Pei Shu nodded: "No time to explain."
Zhu Ning asked, "Have you observed her body?"
Zhu Ning had never observed Bai Cheng take action. At that time, she was seriously injured. In fact, Pei Shu was the one who was most familiar with Bai Cheng among the group.
Zhu Ning patiently asked, "Is there any plastic in her body?"
According to Pei Shu, Bai Cheng's head was broken. Has anyone observed the incision to see if there are also layers of plastic inside?
Pei Shu thought about it for a while and then gave up. He was not like Zhu Ning who had a computer in his head and could observe the picture frame by frame. Pei Shu could not remember the details at all and all his attention was on Bai Cheng's lips opening and closing.
Pei Shu: "Bai Cheng is a plastic man?"
Zhu Ning: "Who knows? She is the first undead person I have ever met."
Pei Shu thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. Bai Cheng's situation was very similar to Lin Xiaofeng's. Ordinary people with special abilities would gain some kind of special abilities if they remained rational after being contaminated.
Superpowers are a kind of ability of theirs, and they must be "used". They can only be supported under the premise of sufficient mental value. If the mental value is not enough, nothing can be done, just like Pei Shu cannot set fire at all when he is exhausted, and the sparks produced are very small.
But Bai Cheng and Lin Xiaofeng are more like pollutants, and can maintain an abnormal state at any time, as if pollution is the norm. For example, Lin Xiaofeng remains transparent at all times, and Bai Cheng remains "immortal" at all times?
They don't "exert themselves" or care about consumption, and are born naturally with pollution. Compared to humans, they are more like pollutants.
Zhu Ning guessed that Bai Cheng might have had the same experience as Lin Xiaofeng, so he asked, "Plastic can't be attacked?"
Pei Shu's face was solemn. "I don't know how much is beneath the soil. If the entire mountain is covered in it, we're facing a monster. Attacking it might accelerate its growth."
Zhu Ning continued to ask: "Is the mountain empty?"
Pei Shu: "It's very likely that there should be a net connecting them below."
The corpses crawled out almost at the same time. There was a community under the corpses, and Bai Cheng might be inside it.
But it is still unclear whether this Bai Cheng is the Bai Cheng they know. Now it seems to be an indiscriminate attack and peaceful communication is impossible.
Pei Shu reacted and asked, "You don't think this is where Bai Cheng is produced, do you?"
It’s not accurate to call it a resurrection point, it should be considered a production workshop.
Pei Shu looked at the rotten corpses fused with plastic and thought of the garbage coverage he had seen. From south to north, there was no investigation team that had not seen the scene of garbage migration. If Bai Cheng was closely related to the plastic garbage outside the wall, then she could indeed do it endlessly.
Even if the wall is broken and humanity is destroyed, Bai Cheng can probably still live for a few hundred years.
Do such people really exist? Wouldn't that be horrible?
Zhu Ning was a little excited. Huo Wenxi did not lie to her. If this was the case, Bai Cheng would definitely not die.
She just likes teammates who are immortal.
Pei Shu understood what Zhu Ning meant and added, "I can't set fire."
Contrary to traditional rules, a fire can burn all the plastic, but in a polluted world, the flames will only become nutrients for the plastic.
Zhu Ning pondered this sentence. Since she couldn't burn it with fire, she could only move in the direction of the plastic bag. This reminded her of the kung fu of using softness to overcome hardness in martial arts novels.
However, from what Pei Shu said, plastic bags kill people very slowly, and they can struggle.
Pei Shu: "There must be a pattern. We..."
He was just about to say that they should observe and summarize before taking action. Bai Cheng would definitely leave clues as long as they were patient enough to wait.
But before Pei Shu could finish his words, Zhu Ning suddenly said, "Assist me."
Zhu Ning stood on the tree trunk and stretched his legs, then said, "I'm going to dig a grave."
Digging graves? You still want to keep digging after all this?
Pei Shu swallowed what he was going to say next. Zhu Ning was not discussing with him at all. As the captain, she only needed to give orders. As soon as she finished speaking, she was still moving her ankles on the tree trunk. At this time, she took a step forward, with her right foot hanging in the air, and she fell straight down.
The tree was quite tall, and she rushed down like a dark shadow, stepping on the wooden stakes for leverage, stretching her arms to maintain balance. When she reached a certain height, she jumped up and clung to the aerial cable car with her arms.
The cable car creaked forward and brought Zhu Ning to the top of Bai Cheng's tombstone. She seized the opportunity and loosened her grip, falling into the graveyard.
Damn, no wonder Qi Xueliu didn’t want to be Zhu Ning’s team member. It’s too exciting to act with her.
Since their captain had already gone down, Pei Shu could only grit his teeth and follow.
As soon as Pei Shu stepped on the grave, the corpse sensed something and struggled to crawl out of the ground. Plastic flew in the wind, and a ten-meter-long plastic greenhouse waste swept over.
Zhu Ning dodged to the side, and the plastic brushed past her right shoulder as gently as a breeze. She walked through the plastic without any attack.
She had just taken two steps when her ankle was tightened and wrapped around in circles. Zhu Ning's body rotated in the opposite direction, using the force to counter the force, and she could control the plastic with her mind to move it.
Another piece of plastic was flying around, like a spinning red veil trying to cover its bride.
Plastic is not like steel. It has no shape and cannot be precisely controlled by mind control. Zhu Ning did not dodge. Pei Shu, who was standing next to him, grabbed the plastic with one hand. The plastic bag that was originally heading towards Zhu Ning went along Pei Shu's arm and wrapped around his head.
Pei Shu's eyes turned red. He couldn't see anything clearly through the thin layer of plastic. A corpse rushed towards him. He couldn't use fire and could only fight hard. He grabbed the corpse's elbow with one hand, pressed down and folded it. There were layers of plastic in the broken arm.
As soon as the plastic appeared, it wrapped around the person as if it were alive. The more he struggled and resisted, the more dangerous it would be. Pei Shuming knew it, but he still had to bite the bullet and squeeze in.
Bai Cheng was sacrificed for him at that time. Anyone can hide from the matter of resurrecting Bai Cheng, but Pei Shu cannot.
Pei Shu's task was simple, which was to clear the way for Zhu Ning and let her get as close to Bai Cheng's tomb as possible. Zhu Ning calculated the distance carefully when she jumped down, and landed three meters away from the tomb. It wasn't that far, but she took two steps back because of the plastic.
The plastic around Pei Shu's neck was getting tighter and tighter. The plastic, which was thinner than paper, had penetrated into the gap of the protective suit, and a corner of the fragment could be seen inside the helmet.
On the other side, Zhu Ning tore off the plastic on her body. Her legs were already tightly bound. She flipped over and landed on the tombstone, staring at the grave she had not finished digging.
The bodies in other graves stood up, except for Bai Cheng's grave.
One of Zhu Ning's arms was grabbed by the plastic corpse, but she did not struggle. Instead, she picked up the shovel with her other hand and continued digging the grave as before.
As the saying goes, if you dig up someone's ancestors' graves, the whole family will be killed. Zhu Ning is an experimental subject and has no family to speak of, so she is not afraid of anything.
Zhu Ning shoveled down with the iron shovel. The bottom of the shovel was still soft. The plastic was obviously very fragile and could definitely be broken by one shovel. But now it was like poking a piece of swollen meat, and blood was faintly seeping out along the edge of the shovel.
With each shovelful, a handful of soil was scooped up, revealing more plastic bags.
Zhu Ning shoveled down again, and this time the angle of the shovel was off, and it pierced the edge of the plastic bag diagonally, and a "pop" sound of breaking was heard.
It seemed like there were layers of garbage or the roots of some plants underground, and Zhu Ning was shoveling away the roots.
There's hope.
Zhu Ning herself was not in good condition either. A corpse was holding her waist tightly from behind. The plastic straw was surprisingly sharp and pierced through her protective suit and got stuck in her neck, almost piercing her artery.
Suddenly, she felt something unfolding behind her. From a God's perspective, she saw a red and white striped plastic bag.
Zhu Ning had no time to dodge, with the shovel hanging in the air, not knowing where to start.
The plastic was swaying in the air, and with a slight grab, it was about to wrap around Zhu Ning.
She heard a click behind her, Pei Shu snapped his fingers, and set it on fire. The flames burned the plastic, emitting an unpleasant smell, which was like a beam of light in the darkness.
When God said, "Let there be light," He certainly didn't think of this scene. The surrounding plastic seemed to be attracted by the flames, or melted by the flames, and collapsed towards the ignition point.
Pei Shu didn't want to light a fire unless it was absolutely necessary. As he expected, the plastic collapsed after being burned by the fire. At a certain point, the melted plastic actually expanded again, growing faster than the fire.
The fragments in Pei Shu's helmet gradually climbed up along his eyelids, like candy wrappers wrapping chocolate around his fragile eyeballs.
More and more plastics, carrying the stench of soil and garbage, sought out vulnerable parts of the human body. There was a small wound on Pei Shu's neck that had not healed. At this time, the plastic opened a hole, drilled into the blood vessels, and sucked his blood.
In just a blink of an eye, Pei Shu was about to become a plastic man. No matter how he warned Zhu Ning before, he now realized how difficult it was to do so. How could a person not fight back in such a situation? Pei Shu tried his best to relax his body, but his back was facing backwards and he was pressed into a grave. This mountain was really empty and had been occupied by plastic. Pei Shu became the new food.
Pei Shu took a deep breath and moved in the direction of the plastic. He sank deeper and deeper, and his back felt heavier and heavier. It was the first time he realized the weight of the plastic.
The earthy smell around him was getting stronger and stronger, and the stench of corpses was pungent. Pei Shu could hardly bear it anymore.
Zhu Ning knew that Pei Shu was buying time for himself. After he lit the fire, the corpse was briefly attracted and Zhu Ning got an opportunity.
Zhu Ning gritted her teeth and decisively asked Pei Shu to clear the way for her because she firmly believed that Bai Cheng would not let them die.
She lowered her arm and the shovel pierced into the same angle as before. The sharp edge of the shovel made another crackling sound, and the flames burned more and more vigorously. In the end, the shovel could no longer shovel anything, and the shovel was completely stained red with blood.
Zhu Ning threw away the shovel and half-knelt to dig the grave with her hands. As she dug the grave, her breathing became less and less, and it became more and more painful. The plastic had grown from the inside of her throat and would soon suffocate her.
Zhu Ning tried to pull it free several times but couldn't, so he shouted hoarsely, "Xiaofeng, help me!"
When Zhu Ning spoke, the friction of the plastic in his throat soon caused his throat to bleed.
Lin Xiaofeng had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and had been following Zhu Ning, but she didn't know how to intervene. Her body, which was originally transparent, was now wrapped in more than ten layers of plastic bags inside and out, like a dumpling.
Lin Xiaofeng followed the sound and headed towards Zhu Ning. Unable to see clearly, he fell to his knees. Zhu Ning: "Dig!"
Lin Xiaofeng is a huge force, and he can try to open things that Zhu Ning cannot open. Pei Shu can no longer see any figure, and all the corpses in the Ghost Head Cemetery are on his side, so he doesn't have much time left.
Lin Xiaofeng had pulled the Homecoming Train before and thought it wouldn't be too troublesome. However, she didn't expect that a thin layer of plastic was so tough. Her body tensed, her arm muscles expanded, she took a deep breath, and pulled hard to finally tear a hole the length of a thumb.
What was even more terrifying was that as soon as she tore open the plastic bag, blood immediately gushed out, as if what was torn was not the plastic but a water ball, and it couldn't be stopped.
The fishy smell hit Lin Xiaofeng in the face, and he forgot to dodge. The plastic on his back was getting thicker and thicker. He just stood there in a daze, his hands covered in blood.
Zhu Ning's eyesight was still there. After Lin Xiaofeng stopped, Zhu Ning's first reaction was to continue pulling, trying to make the hole bigger. She wanted to see how difficult it was to open this thing.
She had just put in a finger when she was suddenly stunned, as if she touched something sticky. Zhu Ning immediately retracted her finger.
The blood in the plastic bag had drained out, the ground around it was soaked with blood, and the plastic bag underneath was slightly heaving.
The plastic bag used to sway in the wind, but this time it rose and fell, as if a living person was wrapped inside.
Zhu Ning looked through the hole and saw a blood-red eye suddenly open under the blood-stained plastic.
The author has something to say:
Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose when buried underground.
Because plastic is non-biodegradable, it has become humanity's number one enemy and has tragically caused the deaths of many animals. For example, zoo monkeys, pelicans, dolphins, and other animals have been found to accidentally swallow plastic bottles discarded by tourists, ultimately suffering a painful death from indigestion. The seemingly pristine ocean surface is actually filled with all sorts of plastic waste that cannot be contained by the ocean. In the intestines of several dead seabirds, various indigestible plastics have been found. — From the Internet
