Chapter 139
The already very quiet waters on both sides of the dam became even quieter. The field workers could not even hear their breathing as they stared vigilantly at the shadow in the water.
The man in black also walked out of the car himself. After seeing the three of them, he nodded slightly, said nothing, and focused his attention on the water.
As more glow sticks sank into deeper water, the shape of the thing gradually became clearer.
It was a huge rotten tumor that seemed to be formed by countless organisms abnormally stuck together. There were many faces of different animals and their limbs, densely packed on the surface of the tumor, making it look extremely crowded.
There were also one or two human faces mixed in, which were squeezed to the point of being somewhat deformed.
At this time, they all closed their eyes as if they were sleeping, only occasionally wriggling back and forth on the surface of the tumor accompanied by the water flow.
Who knows how many years this monster has been lurking under the water, and it has been swollen by the water.
Witnessing such a disgusting scene, Yu Leng felt a little uncomfortable and looked away.
Lu Jiamu stared at the monster, moved forward to see it more clearly, and then he suddenly understood.
He had always wondered why those who were electrocuted died so cleanly and did not come back as new ghosts. He thought there was something special about this world.
Now it seems that those who were electrocuted did not turn into ghosts. Instead, they were taken away by the monster after death and fused together.
The field staff at the base were not overly panicked. They were taking photos and recording quietly in an orderly manner, and even controlled their expressions very well.
The water level of the dam was still dropping and was approaching its lowest point. Now it was night time and the whole city had been cut off from electricity as they requested.
A field worker carefully took a bucket from the car and poured the liquid in the bucket into the dam. The monster squirmed a few times and fell into a deeper sleep.
After observing for a while, seeing that the monster was motionless and showed no signs of waking up, the man in black glanced at the field staff in diving suits.
Several divers immediately understood. They pulled a large fishing net and jumped into the water silently one by one. They were like a few black fish, pulling open the net and swimming downstream flexibly.
The others opened the curtain of the truck on the shore in an orderly manner. The entire back of the truck was transformed into a huge container, and it was obvious that they came prepared.
But like he said, monsters won't crawl into boxes by themselves. Someone has to catch them.
As several divers approached the monster in the water from different directions, the fishing net gradually began to cover the monster.
As if realizing something, all the eyes on the monsters' motionless faces suddenly twitched abnormally, as if they were trying hard to open their eyes. Some even showed a hint of white in their eyes.
The diver immediately stopped diving and stayed suspended in place, observing carefully.
The man in black was holding a small walkie-talkie in his hand. He was also on the shore, quietly watching the water. After a moment, he whispered, "Keep diving."
Several divers received new instructions and continued to pull the fishing net closer to the monster without hesitation.
The moment the monster was covered by the fishing net, it was finally awakened.
The tumor seemed to be boiling, and the faces began to move, as if something was about to come out. Several faces showed painful expressions.
From the middle of the tumor, a face belonging to a middle-aged male human flipped out. He pushed the other faces away to leave some space for himself.
Although the face was swollen and blistered, its facial features could still barely resemble the appearance in the last photo taken before it disappeared.
In that photo, it was still a complete person, but I didn’t expect it to become like this now.
It twitched and opened its eyelids, revealing a completely white eyeball without a pupil underneath. It looked at an unknown direction, and pulled its mouth to reveal a big smile that reached the corners of its eyes.
Because of this smile, his entire face was covered with layers of wrinkles, like a weird Shar-Pei dog.
Several divers had already set up their fishing nets and immediately turned around and swam upstream desperately.
The mouth of the middle-aged man's face moved, and the mouths of all the faces on the tumor twitched as well. They began to speak.
Because it was in the water, its sound was somewhat blocked, but it still reached the shore.
It was murmured sharply and chaotically: [Hehehe…hehehehe…you playful bad boy will be punished…bad boy, there will be punishment~]
The tumor kept moving, and as all the faces opened their eyes, a dazzling flash of lightning burst out from its body, like a burning magnesium bar.
There was a hissing sound under the water, and the lightning was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. But even if they closed their eyes, they still couldn't block out the light.
The entire area was illuminated as if it were daytime.
In just a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with tears because of the bitterness. They could vaguely see the divers under the water suddenly curled up and stopped moving. They didn't know whether they had been electrocuted or blinded by the strong light.
"Pull! Pull!"
After the initial confusion, the field workers on the shore had already taken out their polarized goggles. When they heard someone shouting, they immediately fumbled to activate the steel cable.
The diver was pulled up by the rope connected behind his back. The net they threw out had already covered the monster, and the machine was working to pull it up quickly.
Apparently they had made some preparations in advance. The material of the fishing net was special and was not damaged by the electricity. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The ball of light, like burning metal in the water, rose rapidly.
The man in black turned his back and silently took out three more polarized glasses and handed them to them.
With the polarizing goggles, their vision was finally cleared of the blinding light. They could barely see that the divers had emerged from the water, and that a large object had been caught in the fishing net.
The murmurs in the air became louder and louder: [Hehehe, bad boy... playful bad boy... where is the bad boy...]
The swollen middle-aged man's face twisted in the net. It seemed to realize that it was trapped, and the corners of its mouth drooped sharply.
The corners of the mouths of each of the faces of different species on the tumor followed the man's face and turned down. They twisted their bodies in panic and wanted to look out to see what was happening, but unfortunately they were just tumors stuck together and had no necks, so they could only squeeze together.
The middle-aged man shook his head and puffed up his cheeks, as if he was angry.
As it did this, its face became even more swollen. Even the entire tumor began to expand, getting bigger and bigger, gradually propping up the fishing net.
The faces were tightened by the fishing nets, some of them were deformed and looked very uncomfortable. But their mouths kept moving and muttering: [Bad boy... bad boy...]
The field staff witnessed this bizarre scene and calmly pretended nothing had happened. Someone had already stepped forward to dismantle the diver's diving suit.
As the nets are pulled in, the space between the nets becomes smaller and smaller.
The corners of the middle-aged man's drooping mouth turned upwards again, forming a big smile on his face again. It seemed to have a new idea.
With a "puff" sound, a lot of the tumor in the net was squeezed out of the mesh of the fishing net like a burst shrimp because it was tied too tightly and fell directly into the water.
The steel cable carried the fishing net directly into the container at the rear of the truck. The field staff did not care whether it was intact or not and immediately closed the lid of the container.
After entering the container, the remaining monsters gradually lost their dazzling light, revealing their scattered bodies.
Because they had just exploded, they were no longer in the shape of a sphere. Each face, with a piece of flesh, was crawling around aimlessly in the container, slapping it constantly, and then aimlessly trying to gather together again, but to no avail.
The part in the container was just a part of the monster, and many of them fell into the water. Because of the light they emitted, they looked like some kind of large, shining fish at the bottom of the water, making them very easy to recognize.
But their speed in the water was so fast that before the field staff could respond effectively, they had already reached the edge of the dam and rushed down along the terrain.
A few reckless field staff chased all the way on the shore, and seeing this almost jumped down with bare hands, but fortunately they were stopped by the man in black.
He asked coldly: "Are you looking for death?"
The separated monsters fell into the water below and soon disappeared.
The man in black made a gesture: "Chase."
His team members immediately acted in unison, running to different cars, and soon the sound of engines starting was heard.
If we let them run away, I don't know if they will give us the face to respond when we need them next time.
Now Wei Xiaoyan has not been found yet, and when we need them, we must follow them.
Lu Jiamu looked back, but saw that the two people seemed to have not reacted yet.
Coleman was staring at the water. Although she was wearing polarized glasses, one could tell that her face looked particularly ugly. I don't know what she was thinking about, but she was a little absent-minded.
Yu Leng was rubbing his eyes.
Lu Jiamu immediately patted the two of them and said, "Let's go."
Coleman finally reacted, put his polarized glasses back into his pocket, picked up the two men one in each hand, and strode after the man in black.
Several cars in the forest were speeding down the mountain one after another. Only the last car seemed to wait for them for a while, allowing Coleman to successfully get in with two people.
As soon as the three of them got in the car, they closed the door immediately and sped down the mountain at such a fast speed that it almost made people suspect that it would overturn at any moment.
But the teammates in the car seemed to have gotten used to it and had no complaints.
The man in black sat against the carriage with his arms folded, staring at them with a look that seemed to be examining and questioning them.
On the stretcher next to him was a man who was breathing oxygen. He seemed to be one of the divers who had just gone into the water.
Noticing that they seemed to be looking at the wounded, the man in black explained, "Their diving suits are specially designed to block some of the electric shocks, so they are still alive. We won't be so oppressive to our colleagues and won't let anyone die directly."
The three of them nodded and stopped looking.
Kou Man put Lu Jiamu and Yu Leng down, and stood there with a pale face, tightly pursed lips, and an expression as if he wanted to vomit.
The man in black examined her for a moment and asked, "Are you carsick?"
Coleman shook his head.
The man in black finally put away his offensive gaze and nodded: "It is easy for ordinary people to feel disgusted when they see this kind of scene for the first time."
Lu Jiamu had already seen that Kou Man was not uncomfortable because the monster looked disgusting. After all, they had seen a lot of disgusting things. She was uncomfortable for other reasons.
Lu Jiamu thought about it for a moment and felt that it might be related to the monster's identity.
It was a math teacher before its death, but now it has become like this. The same identity, different circumstances, always make it easier for people to empathize with it and make some unwarranted associations.
Lu Jiamu didn't know if the man in black was trying to test their reactions with this sentence again, so he admitted generously: "Indeed...it looks a bit disgusting."
