I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 319 Blood Moon

Instead of immediately cremating the dead captain and the soldier's body, the Moscow military decided to conduct research.But when the military doctor cut open the emaciated corpses of the two with a knife, he was completely shocked by the scene in front of him:

Although they looked normal on the outside, there was no drop of blood in the bodies of the two soldiers, and even their internal organs were completely shriveled, as if they had been completely drained by something.

Such a corpse can't help but remind people of ancient Egyptian mummies, but if this is the case, how could the two walk out of the forest alive?
What made the military doctor even more horrified was that the nerves and blood vessels in the two were still beating. After dissecting them with a scalpel, they discovered that it was not human tissue at all, but countless fine and dense branches...

Could it be that the ones who came back were not the original soldiers at all, but puppets controlled by trees? !

The weirdness in front of me has long gone beyond the scope of scientific cognition. The government, which originally wanted to study poisonous mushrooms for military use, finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Due to the political environment at that time, Moscow suffered from internal and external troubles.After discussion, the high-level military officials decided to burn and destroy the corpse samples and terminate the exploration of the woods.

At the beginning of the next year, the base stationed outside the forest received an order from the government to let the last exploration force withdraw from the dark forest.

The samples and related records kept in the base in the past were also completely destroyed.

As for the information in the safe, Su Li speculated that it should have been left in the shelter by the troops before they left and had not had time to destroy it.

Everyone quickly digested the new information. For a while, the only silence in the house was the crackling sound of firewood.

"It seems that the key to the problem is here." Ling Yun broke the silence first, pointing to a sketch drawn with a pen in the file.

It was an ancient temple located inside the tree, surrounded by vines and towering.

As described in the information, from the outside, no one would believe that this is a temple formed by the natural growth of trees: the ancient temple looks eerie, about ten meters high, and there are two pillars standing at the door, not only that , there is also a step extending to the inside in the center.

"If it can grow like this, this thing won't have a mind of its own."

Zhao Sicheng stared at the picture, and said suddenly: "To tell you the truth, when I came in, I felt something was wrong, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at us. This feeling of diaphragm has always been there, It's better until you get inside."

"So you mean, this forest is alive?" Xiaolong couldn't help swallowing.

"It's hard to say, but the possibility cannot be ruled out."

Ling Yun said in a deep voice: "It is written in the information that no matter how the forest is destroyed, the trees will grow at an incredible speed, and even spread outward. This is also the main reason why the military dare not use thermal weapons on the forest. Therefore, there has been no People dare to disturb those trees."

"Why don't you go out and find a tree tomorrow and try it out?" Hubert cautiously asked everyone for their opinions.

When they were in the woods today, they were not attacked by anything; but if they took the initiative to harm the trees, they don't know what would happen.

"En." Su Li thought for a while and agreed to the other party's proposal.

After all, they have to survive in this forest full of trees for at least ten days. If they don't figure out the secrets of those trees, it will be very dangerous.

"There seems to be words in this painting!" Tang Yao suddenly opened her mouth in amazement when everyone was discussing.

Hubert raised his eyebrows and hurried over.Tang Yao pointed to the picture of the temple, and murmured, "Look, here, and this one—it doesn't look like the brushstrokes of a painting, but looks more like Russian letters."

Inspired by her point, everyone looked at the painting carefully, and found that there were indeed some crooked and strange brushstrokes in the places where the texture of the tree and vines and the background around the temple were drawn.Although Russian and English are different, most of the letters have remained the same.

Tang Yao mentioned her friend Zi Ting who died in the first mission.Zi Ting is a crazy star chasing girl, her idol is a Russian singer.Out of love, Zi Ting even taught herself Russian, and gave them all kinds of Amway singers.

Influenced by her, I also have a rough understanding of Russian.

However, she could barely find out these letters, and it was not clear what they meant when they were put together.

"Words indeed."

Hubert played an important role at this time: when he was young, he had studied at the St. Petersburg State Medical University in Russia and was fairly familiar with Russian.

Fortunately, the letters are arranged in an orderly manner. Hubert combined the letters in the four corners and the center of the picture in turn, and soon got a few keys: [Bright Red] [Death] [Moon] [Appearance] [Grand] 】【Dinner】

"When the red moon appears, we can have a full meal before we die?" Zhao Sicheng said, rubbing his hungry stomach.

"The translation is good, don't turn it over in the future." Ling Yun glanced at him.

"With the coming of the blood moon, the feast of death will come." Hubert's Chinese level is obviously better, and he conveyed the meaning that the painter wanted to express to everyone.

The blood moon... Ling Yun suddenly remembered that when the monster outside the house appeared before, the moon did turn red for a short while.

After the ghost shadows faded away, the moon returned to normal.

The annihilation of the army is enough to confirm this statement. Combined with other information and no information about the blood moon, Su Li speculates that once the red moon appears, the forest will be in extreme danger, and monster activities will be more frequent than ever.

"Yes, after the red moon appeared, we suffered waves of attacks. This must be some kind of danger signal!" Wei Chongming's eyes lit up.

"Even the moon is affected by the forest, it seems that this place must not be a normal world." Lin Qing said meaningfully.

"Temples, death, feasts...it looks like a big sacrifice."

Ren Yao rarely opened his mouth: "The last two soldiers who survived had tree branches in their bodies. If the forest is really alive, they must have been manipulated by something. Could it be that the reason for the mutation of the forest is... There are S-level props in that temple?!"

"That's right, it must be like this!"

Thinking of the ghost dragon in the previous treasure hunt game, Zhao Sicheng quickly echoed: "As long as I can get that thing, I can resurrect Lin Yuanqi!"

Although they know that the heart of the tree is very dangerous, everyone is not without the capital to fight.After all, their abilities had recovered at that time, and Xiaolong's strangling vine was the most suitable for the terrain among all of them.

Everyone immediately regained their spirits, and even Tang Yao became excited after hearing this.
