An hour later, the others came back from outside one after another. Xiao Yue and Pei Yanting had already roughly figured out the situation within a certain distance around them, and were holding a meeting with the team to arrange guard posts and subsequent tasks.
Pei Xiqing touched Xiaobai's fur and saw the faint blue-black light on its body. Then he looked at the tattered remains of the parasite on the ground.
Xiaobai actually ate them all.
In the blink of an eye, only bones are left.
These parasites were quite large, even three or four times larger than the tigers and lions we usually see. There were three of them in a pit, and they were all eaten by Xiaobai.
It gradually began to have an aura similar to that of those parasites.
Pei Xiqing squatted down and stared at it for a while.
There was no sign of the parasite's madness in its eyes.
There is only clear...innocence.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Will it make you feel uncomfortable? Eating these things can be very toxic."
Xiaobai barked a few times, then came over and rubbed against her palm, all dirty.
Pei Xiqing probably knew that these parasites were all viruses, and he didn't know exactly how many zombies and parasites he had swallowed. Would it really be okay for Xiaobai to eat them like this?
Ying said, "Parasitic organisms have always been feeding on each other, and their toxins will only increase in strength. Since Xiaobai is fine now, and he's showing interest in these parasites, he shouldn't be in any trouble."
"That's right. Xiaobai is a zombie after all. Parasites and zombies have similar functions." She wiped the blood off Xiaobai's fur and asked Ying to find a rope to tie it up. "Don't run around. It's too dangerous around here. Don't hurt anyone."
Xiaobai didn't mind being tied up with the rope. When he saw that it was Pei Xiqing pulling him, he kept trying to squeeze the rope excitedly.
Pei Xiqing looked at its brainless appearance and smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, Xiaobai doesn't have so many twists and turns in his mind, otherwise, he would be ruined by the parasite.
Xiao Yue came over and told everyone about his discovery.
"This place is haunted, but for some reason there's not a single living person within a ten-foot radius, and we suspect there are unknown creatures down there."
Someone questioned: "How do you know?"
Pei Yanting: "Of course I calculated it."
She held the most sophisticated detector in her hand. "There's something alive underground. I can only calculate its approximate location, but I don't know what it is specifically."
"Right." Xiao Yue continued, "So, before we find out what else is underground, don't act rashly. Move around and see if there are any new discoveries."
"Okay."
When Pei Xiqing led Xiaobai out, many people looked at her.
But when they saw the large dog following her, they were stunned for a few seconds and then couldn't help but step back.
Was it a wolf or a dog? It was even bigger than the parasites we saw earlier. Just standing there, it was quite scary.
Pei Xiqing pulled the rope and said, "Let's go and take a look around."
There are weird things everywhere in the ghost town.
There are towering mountains and freezing glaciers. After walking a little further, I could vaguely see a few scattered villages.
There was smoke rising from the air, as if someone was cooking.
She noticed the situation here, and Xiao Yue and the others also noticed it and rushed over there quickly.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Yue and his men came out in surprise and stood at the entrance of the village, waving at them: "There are people here! Come quickly!"
People entered the village one after another.
As soon as he entered the village, Pei Xiqing glanced at the plaque standing next to him.
Yongan Village.
She stared at the words, slightly lost in thought.
Only after Ying called out to him a few times did he come to his senses.
"What's wrong? Is there anything unusual?"
Pei Xiqing shook her head: "It's okay."
There are indeed people in the village.
This is totally unexpected.
There are actually people living in such a place.
There were only a dozen or so people in the village, all of them skinny and hunched-backed, as if their upper bodies were being pressed down by a thousand-pound stone and could never stand up straight.
But his limbs were strong and his muscles were well-developed, which was particularly uncoordinated.
From a distance, these people even looked a little weird, their postures so twisted that they were beyond the range of normal humans.
But they can talk.
The old man in the lead had the most severe hunchback, with his face almost touching the ground.
"Stranger, how did you find this place?"
"It was an accident that caused us to fall down." Xiao Yue stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, old man, is this place haunted?"
The old man laughed softly when he heard this: "Yes, and there really are ghosts."
"this……"
"Grandpa, you didn't lie to us, did you? We want to find the way to the temple."
"Go out? You can't go out once you come in."
Not only him, but also the villagers behind him showed strange smiles.
Some people were so frightened that they screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhh! I want to get out! I want the base! I don't want to stay here! This is too scary!"
Xiao Yue was relatively calm. "Grandpa, why has this place become like this? Can you explain it to us?"
"Don't worry, you must be tired after traveling all the way here. Why don't you eat something first? Then sit down and we can talk slowly."
This is obviously a fraud.
Pei Xiqing stopped and was about to leave when the old man raised his eyes, looked at her and said, "This lady is not from here, but she is a guest. You must be polite to guests."
Just this one sentence.
She already understood that the other party probably wouldn't attack her.
As for others, it’s not necessarily the case.
The strangeness along the way, the corpses and mass graves all over the mountains, and the humans affected by the disturbance here... all seem amiss.
Logically speaking, she should have left long ago, but since the other party said so, she could only make the best of it.
After entering the village, Pei Xiqing found that the village was also very strange, and there was no trace of anyone living there.
Tang Yitong didn't dare to walk alone. Quan Xiao was pulling at her clothes from behind. She thought she would cry if she went any further.
She touched Tang Yitong's head: "It's okay."
Someone was wandering around in the village and accidentally opened the door of one of the rooms. A mountain of corpses poured out from inside and buried the person instantly.
"Save me..."
Xiao Yue stepped forward and pulled the person out.
He looked at the pile of corpses in the house and immediately turned back to the villagers: "What does this mean?"
The people from S1 also immediately became alert and pointed their guns at the villagers.
The old man sighed, leaned on his cane, and slammed it to the ground.
"You're meddling." He turned around and said coldly, "Catch them all and carry them to the mass grave."
