Kong Sang was also quite speechless. When she first met Si Yu, this guy was carefree and had a lot of fun. But once you got to know him, you realized that Si Yu was really straight...
Compared to Lin Changli and Qi Yunshen, he was a breath of fresh air.
"Hey, is this Iron Palm?" Lan Ye, who had been driven away by Kong Sang, returned to scout the way.
After a few playful exchanges, they got down to business. Lan Ye had followed Lan Yun when he saw her coming, and now he had actually made some discoveries.
"The woman in the ice coffin?" Yu Wei asked, puzzled.
Lan Ye stroked his chin: "Yes, they carried an ice coffin into the rainforest. I'm sure the figure inside was a woman, but whether she was alive or dead, I don't know."
The other side outnumbered him, so he didn't dare get too close.
Kong Sang was also curious for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said, "Our goal is the crystals, so we don't need to pay attention to them for now. We can play around with them later when we have the energy left after we achieve our goal."
Wei Shengyi smirked: "This is the no-man's land of R country, a perfect place to kill. Don't want to spare Lan Yun's life? I can help."
Kong Sang's eyes flickered: "Don't think so badly of me, okay? How could I kill my mother? My uncle is still here, so don't talk nonsense."
Lan Ye chuckled: "Don't drag me into this. That crazy woman Lan Yun has nothing to do with me." Perhaps there was some kinship when they were young, but that had long been ruined by Lan Yun.
For some reason, Lan Ye's expression was not good.
Lin Changli suddenly spoke up: "It seems that you are more biased towards Jian Yao than your own sister. You are not a kind woman who can drive Lan Yun to madness."
Kong Sang was surprised. "Jian Yao? You found out she's the adopted daughter of the Lan family. Why didn't you tell her first?"
Lan Ye sneered: "President Lin is quick on the uptake, but you're mistaken. Jian Yao isn't a scheming woman; on the contrary, she's a bit foolish. The reason she drove Lan Yun mad was simply because Nie Qu was protecting her."
Knowing that Kong Sang was curious, Lin Changli didn't keep her in suspense and briefly explained Jian Yao's identity.
The direct descendants of the previous president of Country C, who were the same lineage of the former president whom the Qi family had once overthrown, all died in the line of "a new emperor, a new court," and none of the Jian family members survived.
Old Master Lan and Miss Jian had a past relationship. After the Jian family fell from power, they adopted this orphan girl. This matter was indeed very risky. Even if the regime fell, the Jian family would still be a risk to the Qi family.
In this matter, as a leading figure in the military, Master Lan did indeed withstand a great deal of pressure in adopting Jian Yao.
So you're saying you're of the Jian family bloodline? But why does Ke Tong say she was born to Jian Yao and has no relation to her?
At this point in the story, Lan Ye didn't try to hide anything.
Looking at Kong Sang, he said, "Actually, I've always been curious about whose daughter you are. Jian Yao is a pampered young lady. How could she get pregnant with someone else's child right under Nie Qu's nose? I've never been able to figure it out."
Kong Sang's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "Now that you mention it, I'm curious too. But to be able to do something like this under my dad's nose, I don't think Jian Yao is as stupid as you say. At least she must be quite good at being love-struck."
The team was ready to go, and Lan Ye said no more. The truth would be revealed sooner or later.
From a distance, it didn't seem like much, but once inside the woods, the dampness was intense, and my eyelashes quickly became damp with a layer of mist. There was also a sweet, cloying smell in the air.
I don't know if it's grass or something else, but the smell is very cloying.
Julie Pelosi said that the last time her team came in, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the smell.
However, it is worth noting that on the outskirts of the rainforest, there is something that can burrow into the human body, whether it is an insect or something else, so everyone should be careful.
Kong Sang was protected by the team in the middle. The identity of the new sprout developer was far more important than that of the eldest daughter of the Nie family in the past. Both Si Yulanye and Qi Yunshen received orders to defend Kong Sang to the death.
If it weren't for the fact that she had people on both the military and political sides around Kongsang, it wouldn't have been so easy for her to leave Country C. After all, the country couldn't afford to lose such a talent.
Julie Pelosi led the way, and after walking for a short while, they heard gasps. Kong Sang and the others also went over to take a look.
A figure in black mountaineering gear, fully equipped, leaned against a tree root, motionless. The team members took out their guns and aimed, but the figure remained still.
Julie Pelosi's eyes darkened slightly, and she stepped forward and kicked it. Only then did everyone realize that it was a skeleton wrapped in human skin...
The area around the pupils was completely sunken into a black hole. Because the flesh and blood had disappeared, the skin could no longer support it and hung loosely on the body, like layers of burnt candles piled up, which was disgusting.
What's even more chilling is that the person was fully dressed, and if you didn't touch him, you'd probably just think he was too thin.
How is it possible to completely eliminate flesh and blood?
Julie Pelosi said in a deep voice, "This is what I mean by the kind of thing that goes into the human body. A third of our team of 25 has been wiped out here."
"We had no idea what had entered their bodies. By the time we realized something was wrong, it was too late. They had already been devoured, and their deaths were gruesome."
"That's why I said from the beginning, anyone who thinks they have a scrape or abrasion on their body should say so, it might be..."
As Julie Pello finished speaking, someone in the group exclaimed, "Wang Liu, didn't you just say you got a cut on your arm? Could it be that you've been hit by something?"
“Why don’t you tell me where it is so I can take a look?” Julie Pello said, frowning.
The man named Wang Liu was around 30 years old. He looked rather unwell, but he wasn't flustered. Someone who was chosen to come into the rainforest with Wei Shengyi must have experienced many trials and tribulations.
He readily put down his weapon, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Sorry, I thought it was nothing. I just got scratched by a branch when I entered the rainforest, and I didn't feel anything unusual."
A faint red mark—it's nothing to them; it's perfectly normal that they don't even notice an injury of that magnitude.
But Julie Pello, with a grim face, suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it in. It wasn't a vicious strike, just a shallow stab. Wang Liu let out a miserable howl and reflexively attacked Julie Pello.
Everyone was stunned and quickly pulled Wang Liu away: "Damn it, why are you howling when you're stabbed? You didn't scream this much when you were digging out a bullet with your bare hands!"
"Don't touch him, he's been infected. When that stuff enters his body, it amplifies the pain."
As if in response to Julie Pello's words, the skin of the cut on her arm quickly swelled up like earthworms, and not only her arm, but also her neck, cheeks, and forehead were wriggling through the skin.
This scene is really uncomfortable; Lin Changli has subtly blocked Kong Sang's view.
Wang Liu also started howling, his pupils dilating in pain, and he lost control of his bladder. Everyone was terrified. What was this thing?
Julie Pelosi shook her head, pulled out her gun, intending to give him a quick death, but a hand grabbed the muzzle of the gun.
Wei Shengyi released the gun barrel and walked to his subordinate's side. He didn't mind the smell of urine and pressed the man down with his hand: "Hold on a little longer."
Staring at the wound on his arm, his pale green eyes deepened. The plants on the surrounding grass stood tall, extending towards Wei Shengyi as if protecting him.
A dark green thing poked its head out from Wang Liu's wound...
