Chapter 183 Bone Erosion Maggots

A group of people went up the spiral staircase, intending to stay on the platform above and continue exploring after Zheng Lei's arm grew back.

After distributing the food to them, Zheng Lei sat down on the steps at the entrance of the spiral staircase. The spiral staircase was not wide at all. If Zheng Lei went there, he would basically block more than half of the only way up.Although the strange insects were cleared with white light and flames in the elevator passage, it was impossible for there to be only a few of them. Zheng Lei was afraid that they would come out of the elevator hole and threaten the safety of Professor Cui and Zhang Yinlan.

Zheng Lei was currently gnawing on a piece of bread with his brows tightly furrowed. To be honest, the feeling of regrowing his arm was not pleasant. It was intertwined with soreness, numbness, pain and itching, like countless worms crawling around the wound. Same.

Zhang Yinlan came over and sat down on the steps next to Zheng Lei, unscrewed a bottle of water and brought it to Zheng Lei's mouth.

When Zheng Lei saw it, he was about to put down the bread and take the water.

Zhang Yinlan shook her head, brought the water to Zheng Lei's mouth, and motioned to hold the bottle for him to drink.

"Thank you!" Zheng Lei said in a low voice, and then took a few gulps.

"En..." Zhang Yinlan shook her head: "It should be thanks to you, I can't help you..."

"Aren't you going to help me drink water?" Zheng Lei laughed and said, "I'm in charge of fighting, and you are in charge of life. Clear division of labor and happy cooperation! Haha!"

Zhang Yinlan pursed her lips and laughed, and then looked worriedly at Zheng Lei's drooping half sleeve: "Can it really grow back? It won't have any effect as before?"

Zheng Lei nodded: "It's almost half grown, and it's estimated that it will grow back tomorrow morning. The main reason is that the bones grow slowly, and there will be no impact. Don't worry!"

"Evolution is really amazing..." Zhang Yinlan stared curiously at Zheng Lei's half-empty sleeve, and said with some envy: "If only I were also an evolution, I can help you share some of it, and you don't have to do this." Thanks for your hard work!"

"Yes." Zheng Lei smiled mysteriously and said something in a small voice.

"En?" Zhang Yinlan didn't quite understand, and turned to look at Zheng Lei suspiciously.

"It's nothing. I don't feel hard work at all." Zheng Lei shook his head, glanced to the side, and said, "How should I put it...not only do I not feel hard work, but I feel like I have the motivation to work harder..."

Zhang Yinlan was taken aback for a moment, then her face turned crimson immediately, she lowered her head and turned her face away.

"I...me too..." Zhang Yinlan's shy voice was like a mosquito, her face was so red that she was about to bleed, she stood up shyly, turned around and ran to the back.

Zheng Lei had a smirk on his face, and even the discomfort of having his arms regrown seemed to be gone.

It was night, and Zheng Lei was sitting at the entrance of the spiral staircase, watching the movement around vigilantly, his eyes became brighter because of the use of visual enhancement, and they swept around in the surrounding space.Professor Cui sat back to rest, and Zhang Yinlan leaned on the other side of Zheng Lei with Xia Luoli in his arms.

Zheng Lei knew that most bugs had phototaxis, and worried that this strange bug would do the same, so he didn't dare to brighten up the surroundings. Fortunately, he can now strengthen his vision, and it doesn't affect his observation of the surroundings.

If this kind of strange insect caused the soldiers who entered this underground military project to disappear, there must be a lot of them, but where did this kind of strange insect come in from?Even Zheng Lei, who built this underground military project, would have to spend a lot of effort to get in. It should be even more difficult for these huge monsters to get in.Unless it's been in there all along.

However, if it has been in it all the time, how did it mutate into what it is now?
Zheng Lei couldn't figure it out, and when he was having a headache, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the dead silence!

Zheng Lei immediately felt alarmed, stood up abruptly, looked for the direction of the voice, and pushed Professor Cui at the same time, Xia Luoli in Zhang Yinlan's arms also woke Zhang Yinlan up.

"Hush..." Zheng Lei lowered his voice: "There is a sound, do you hear it?"

When the two listened, their expressions suddenly changed, and they stared at the darkness around them vigilantly.

Zheng Lei pricked up his ears to carefully distinguish the direction of the sound. Gradually, he found that the sound was not too far away from him and the others, as if it came from the stone walls around the platform.

Zheng Lei approached the stone wall, and sure enough, he heard a rustling sound coming from inside the stone wall, as if something was crawling on its legs at a very high frequency.

Zheng Lei waved his hand back, signaling others to lean back,

Then he leaned close to the stone wall and pounded a few times with the Tang knife where the sound came out.

The voice inside the stone wall immediately sounded agitated.

Zheng Lei took a few steps back, protected Professor Cui and Zhang Yinlan behind him, held his breath and stared at the stone wall.After a while, the sound inside the stone wall seemed to have moved to another place, and there was no sound anymore, but since there was no way to rest.

Fortunately, it was not far from dawn, and not long after, the darkness in the cave decreased a bit, and it should be dawn outside.

Zheng Lei moved his arm that had completely regrown at this moment, and secretly decided in his heart that he must make a breakthrough today.

Zheng Lei decided to go down the elevator passage again, open the door, and see what's underneath.

After taking a few bites, Zheng Lei and the others went down the spiral staircase, and smiled at Zhang Yinlan and Professor Cui with worried eyes to signal them not to worry.

"Be sure to be careful!" Zhang Yinlan still looked worried: "Promise me, don't take risks, okay?"

Zheng Lei smiled, nodded and agreed.

Suddenly, Zheng Lei froze for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Luoli in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yinlan followed Zheng Lei's gaze, but Xia Luoli still had that expressionless expression, she looked no different from usual.

Just now, Xia Luoli actually took the initiative to ask Zheng Lei through the spiritual link to let her go down the elevator passage and open the door.

"Ah, it's nothing." Zheng Lei turned around and walked up to Xia Luoli, raised his hand to caress her head, and at the same time rejected Xia Luoli's request to replace Zheng Lei through the spiritual link.A look of disappointment appeared on Xia Luoli's face, she pouted slightly at Zheng Lei reluctantly, walked to Zhang Yinlan's side, and reached out her hand to pinch the corner of Zhang Yinlan's clothes.

It was the first time that Xia Luoli took the initiative to make such an intimate gesture to Zhang Yinlan. Zhang Yinlan was a little excited immediately, and squatted down to caress Xia Luoli's head. She thought that Xia Luoli was afraid, so she smiled softly towards her. Xia Luoli said: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Xia is very powerful, and my sister will protect Xiao Xia!"

While talking, he clenched his fist and waved it in front of Xia Luoli.

Zheng Lei smiled dumbly in his heart, and when he turned around, his face returned to a dignified and serious look. He first threw a ball of white light into the elevator passage, and then wrapped his body with a thin layer of white light. Entered the elevator passage once.

This time there were no strange insects, Zheng Lei went down to the door smoothly, took out the death light pen and cut along the crack of the door.Sparks flew everywhere in the elevator passage, and after a long while, Zheng Lei finally burned the door through a round hole the size of a little fingertip.

Zheng Lei leaned close to the small hole and looked behind the door. When he saw it, he immediately gasped. He only felt a chill running down his back and straight to the back of his head, and his whole body was suddenly terrified.

I saw worm-like monsters the size of bicycles behind them slowly arching and arching on the ground, like enlarged maggots, and pus could be vaguely seen inside the translucent body along with the worms. Arched and kept shaking.

Fuck!Giant maggot? !Zheng Lei felt nauseous for a while, and secretly counted, there were about dozens of such worms behind the door.

On the stone wall around the worm, there are many human-shaped monsters hanging like ovaries. They look like they are dead, stuck to the stone wall by sticky pus, motionless.Those humanoid monsters were covered in pus. Zheng Lei couldn't see their appearance clearly, but they were definitely not human beings.

Zheng Lei used reconnaissance techniques to investigate. The worms are called bone-eating maggots, and the humanoid monsters on the stone wall are dead, so they can't detect anything.

Zheng Lei planned to use the death light to test the worms. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly saw a human-shaped object on the stone wall move suddenly, and then began to struggle violently, trying to break free from the thick pus. come out.

At this moment, the body of the bone-eroding maggot suddenly opened up as if inflated, and then a strange long cylindrical mouthpart protruded from the head, with a sharp tip, which looked like a fleshy syringe needle .

"Puff puff puff!..." The body of the bone-corroding maggot shrank suddenly, and a stream of milky white sticky juice shot out from their soft long tube-shaped mouthparts, like a bow and arrow off the string. With piercing sounds of piercing the air, they all sprayed on the struggling human monster.The thick milky white juice stuck to the body of the humanoid monster, then moved, and burrowed into the humanoid monster's body!
All of a sudden, I saw that the skin on the humanoid monster's body was like a candle that had been smoked at high temperature, and large chunks turned into milky yellow sticky skin. Struggled up.But the more he struggled, the bigger the area of ​​the skin that was torn off from his body was the larger the area of ​​the skin, and in the end only the bright red muscle fibers were left, reflecting a chilling bloody light.

Soon, the skin on the humanoid monster's body melted completely, turning it into a muscle specimen in the dissection room. After the skin melted, its muscle fibers also began to soften and dissolve, turning into drops of red viscous Juice, fell to the ground!
