334 Tadpole Mole (IV)
◎Fear attracts alien species to come and feed◎
Bai Cheng is considered a "consumable". When they encounter problems, they will automatically sort themselves out and decide who to sacrifice to save, without any disputes between them.
Xin Baicheng said she wanted to go into the water, and Baicheng helped her untie the body bag. Along the way, she carefully combed Xin Baicheng's hair and braided it into two narrow braids close to her scalp, making her look like a schoolgirl.
Bai Cheng cannot die, but all individuals of Bai Cheng know that they will die from the moment they are born.
Zhu Ning guessed that Bai Cheng's memories were shared, and that was why she couldn't remember things from a long time ago. Because everyone's memory storage space was limited, and so many Bai Chengs were sharing one brain, in order to save space, they simply deleted the ancient memories.
Except for Pei Shu, the other three cannot be considered simple people. Zhu Ning's Devouring and Lin Xiaofeng's Transparency are still useful.
Pei Shu was among a bunch of paying players, he had a very peaceful mentality and was very natural at being someone's younger brother.
He prepared underwater props for Xin Baicheng and tied a camera to his right arm. These devices would also be used for exploration outside the wall, but there was a high probability that they would be useless. The small chance that any images were captured would probably be mental pollution.
The pond was filled with tadpoles. Shin Baicheng seemed to have no weaknesses. He simply said hello to everyone and jumped in with a flutter. The tadpoles first scattered everywhere, and then actually chased after Shin Baicheng, as if Baicheng was fish food.
Zhu Ning's scalp tingled as he watched, and he immediately picked up his gun and stood by the water ready to provide support at any time. Lin Xiaofeng followed Zhu Ning's movements. Now their abilities had been greatly reduced, and the only support they could provide was weapons.
But Shinbaicheng was soon submerged in the water and his figure completely disappeared.
Pei Shu controlled the instrument and said, "No picture."
Zhu Ning took a look and found that the palm-sized screen was not completely black. He could clearly feel the water rippling, but it was extremely chaotic and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Maybe this is what it is like underwater, and they are completely in the dark when they go into the water.
After the new Bai Cheng went into the water, Bai Cheng stood coldly by the pond, staring at it motionlessly. Zhu Ning did not disturb her for fear of interfering with the "signal" of the two Bai Chengs.
After a while, the water surface became calm again, as if no one had been there from the beginning to the end, and the tadpoles began to spin around as before.
Bai Cheng suddenly said in a mechanical voice: "I can't see clearly, it's very dark."
After Xin Baicheng entered the water, he immediately felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and the fear was transmitted to Baicheng on the shore. When people are in an unknown environment, even Baicheng cannot control his instinctive fear.
There is water all around, but there is nothing but black water, as if this is a water tomb.
"There is light." Bai Cheng said.
She frowned, her experience completely overlapping with Xin Baicheng's. Zhu Ning's previous feeling was correct. There really was something underwater, which was very uncomfortable and made people instinctively want to escape. Bai Cheng, a plastic man, rarely had such a weird feeling.
She floated in the water, her feet felt empty, her heartbeat quickened, and she overcame her instinct to continue diving. The waters where ordinary villages were located were generally not too deep, and a small pond was only two meters at most. Humans liked to be near water, but they were instinctively afraid of deep water.
At this time, Xin Baicheng had gone down at least seven or eight meters, but had not yet reached the bottom. It seemed as if there was a passage below that led directly to the center of the earth.
The water was very viscous, and Xin Baicheng stopped diving, but she found herself moving downwards automatically. She couldn't stop the inertia of her falling, and when she wanted to swim upwards, she felt something pulling her downwards.
Xin Baicheng was trapped inside the protective suit, her body tilted uncontrollably, and with a dull thud, she hit the bottom of the pond, with her left foot stuck in it. Her first reaction was of course to pull her leg out, but she soon found that the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.
There was a lot of mud and water plants underwater. If people stepped into the mud, they would feel a huge force pulling them down. Xin Baicheng didn't move and tried to slow down his breathing as much as possible, trying to keep pace with the underwater creatures.
Something was touching her, slipping away from her. It was not waterweed, so she couldn't see clearly, but the disgusting and sticky feeling was very real.
She turned on the light after entering the water, but visibility was limited. She could vaguely see some things before, but now the water was mixed with mud and water, and she felt like she was deep in the mud, unable to see in front or behind.
Xin Baicheng's biggest goal is to explore the mystery, and it is best to leave more clues for teammates. She groped backwards stiffly, pressing something with a soft surface under her palm.
As soon as she reached out her hand, she immediately withdrew it. If she even touched it, she could feel it. It was a human face, right behind her, a human face buried in the mud.
Shin Baicheng took a deep breath, and the inside of the helmet was filled with mist from her breath. This time she turned around to look at the place she had touched.
The light from the lamppost was weakened underwater, and she waited quietly. At this moment, she was not a hunter, but a prey, who had to see the face of her enemy murderer clearly before she died.
The water gradually became clearer, and the floating mud returned to the bottom of the pool.
Xin Baicheng finally saw the bottom of the water. There were caves of various sizes under the water, and human faces were buried upwards with their mouths wide open as if they were breathing, or waiting for food.
The face that Shin Baicheng touched had its mouth opened to a degree beyond the human limit, and could breathe independently in water. He rolled his eyes and looked at Baicheng intently.
Who is this? A villager?
After being contaminated, did the villagers assimilate into the polluted area? Only invaders will turn into tadpoles?
Before Xin Baicheng could figure out what was going on, the man suddenly pulled himself out of the mud and rushed towards her.
Bai Cheng subconsciously fought back, but because one of her legs was stuck, all her resistance was weakened.
She also saw the complete appearance of the thing in an emergency. The neck should be below the human head, and then connected to the torso, but this thing did not have those conventional structures. Instead, a tadpole-like tail grew behind the head.
Most people have observed tadpoles as children, or have seen textbooks demonstrating how tadpoles turn into frogs, first growing hind legs, then front legs, and finally the tail disappears. This is a very classic metamorphosis process.
The tadpole man below should now be in an underdeveloped state, with a dark face, a tail, but limbs.
They gathered at the bottom of the pond, muddying the water as they flicked their tails, and found the villagers.
Just as Xin Baicheng was thinking this, she felt a pain in her arm and a blood mist sprayed over a large area. One of her arms was bitten off.
…
After Xin Baicheng went into the water, no one spoke on the shore, only the barking of dogs could be heard in the distance.
Pei Shu observed the screen, while Zhu Ning stared at the water. She had been a little resistant to the water in the village before, but now she had to look carefully in order to support Bai Cheng.
There were more and more tadpoles, and the pond was gradually boiling. The tadpole mole on Zhu Ning's body seemed to be responding to its companions, swimming faster and faster, as if it was about to jump into the pond by wagging its tail.
Suddenly, Zhu Ning felt a chill on her back. It happened again. This was the second time she had experienced this. She even realized that someone was standing behind her when the other party attacked.
The dark water surface was like a mirror. A figure appeared behind Zhu Ning. He was very tall and stood closely next to Zhu Ning.
There was also someone behind Lin Xiaofeng. Because she was relatively short, the figure behind her looked tall, like a thin giant. An overly long arm pressed on the back of Lin Xiaofeng's neck, gradually applying pressure, as if to push her in.
Lin Xiaofeng swallowed and tightened his finger on the trigger.
Pei Shu didn't look at the water surface, but stared at the screen. Xin Baicheng's idea was very clear. He should continue diving to find the bottom.
He didn't have any expectations for the camera at first, but now he was extremely immersed in it and was completely attracted by the picture. There was a slight sound, and Pei Shu saw a flash in front of the screen. He vaguely saw a shadow and some huge creature quietly slid past.
That thing was definitely much larger than a human. Pei Shu unconsciously held his breath, as if he was the one entering the water. What had passed through? Was that the source of the pollution they were looking for?
Pei Shu zoomed in on the scene. The camera was tied to Xin Bai Cheng's arm, and the lens suddenly shook violently, which was completely inconsistent with Bai Cheng's usual cautious style. She didn't know whether she had encountered a monster or was dragged away by a strange force.
Suddenly, a blood mist spread across the screen, the lens turned red, the camera sank like a fallen leaf, and the picture regained order.
It was not that Bai Cheng continued to dive, but that his arm broke and lost the control of his owner, and the camera tied to it also lost control.
Something happened.
Pei Shu immediately stood up and wanted to inform Xin Baicheng to go ashore immediately, but the words were stuck in his throat. The next scene in the picture was even more terrifying, with a face approaching the camera.
At first glance, Pei Shu only saw a smile, a very stiff one. It was Bai Cheng's signature expression. She didn't mean to scare people, but because her face was not developed enough, the smile could not be released immediately.
How did her helmet fall off?
With a snap, Shinbaicheng's face completely disappeared. The camera captured the sound of a huge impact, the lens cracked, and fell into real darkness.
At this time, we should find someone to fish Xin Baicheng out. The fact that there is a way to survive underwater is most likely a trap.
The words stuck in Pei Shu's throat were suppressed again. He was looking at the screen too intently just now and realized that something happened on the shore. The black lens reflected a shadow, a tall figure sticking to Pei Shu's back.
The pond acts as a larger mirror, reflecting a larger area. Not just one person, but countless people gathered quietly behind them, reflecting the bamboo forest in the distance.
This creature had a very long neck and an extremely tall body, which made Pei Shu's heart skip a beat.
This is an alien species. The fear released by the three of them attracted the alien species to come and feed. Pei Shu had encountered it before in Yixue and was still wondering why there were alien species inside the wall. Later, Huo Wenxi rushed to Yixue to deal with the follow-up. So far, that area can only be sealed off and no better way can be thought of.
Alien species and contaminated areas coexist, waiting for the moment when humans release fear, and then feed on fear.
The black mucus on Zhu Ning's body seemed to be some kind of alien species.
The alien species here are even more bizarre. They cannot be seen with the naked eye and can only be located through reflections.
If the aliens in the antxue are like ghosts, the ones here are more like water ghosts.
But the basic characteristics have not changed, they are taller than ordinary people, because the alien species needs more fear, not enough, they need to squeeze it to extreme fear, so they were constantly frightened after they came in. When Zhu Ning was lying by the pond, something wanted to push her in, and Bai Cheng saw the shadow that suddenly appeared and disappeared.
Maybe what Bai Cheng saw was not a human figure at all, but the shadow of an alien species in the reflection. Because Pei Shu and the others participated in the chase, they never saw the entity of that thing. It seemed like they were chasing air from beginning to end.
What Chen Qihang saw in his notebook was something that someone wanted to push him into the water.
This time, the alien species are intelligent and know how to cooperate with the pollution source. It's really unlucky that they have entered an unknown polluted area and can't even find the door, and there are alien species surrounding them. Even if they find the pollution source and purify it, other pollutants will disappear with the pollution source, but the alien species will not.
When encountering alien species, it is best to crush them with force. The most direct way is to kill them with super powers, which is more efficient than traditional weapons. The last time Pei Shu was forgotten by Zhu Ning in Yixue, he relied on fire super powers to break through. If the three of them simply encounter alien species and escape unscathed, it should not be a problem.
The problem is that their abilities have been greatly weakened under the influence of the contaminated area, and Pei Shu is not even strong enough to ignite a fire-safe zone.
