Chapter 635 Lying on Ice (8)

I looked at the bald head, trying to judge whether he hadn't rested for too long, and he was tired and nervous. The bald head saw my expression, immediately flattened his mouth, pulled my hand, and dragged me in, saying: "You If you don’t believe me, then come and see what this is!” Daxun next to him didn’t stop him, he didn’t talk to me on the [-]st, he just put the old man down temporarily, and sat beside him to rest.

I was dragged by the bald head and walked a little further. I suddenly saw broken ice of various sizes on the ground. At the same time, there were ice chisels on the ground, and the ice wall on my left was It was obviously man-made.

A hole about one meter deep had been dug out of the ice wall, and there was a figure not far inside.

Only at this moment did I realize that the shadows that could not be clearly seen in the depths of the ice before were all people huddled together, and this person behind the obviously chiseled ice was relatively close, so he could See more clearly.

Although the person was frozen in the ice and did not rot, it has become a wrinkled mass. It is not clear whether it is a man or a woman, what it looks like, but the skin on the waist and crotch can be seen clearly. Ming, I immediately realized that this was not frozen in the ice, it was probably the corpse of Zong Nu!
Seeing my expression, the bald head said, "Understood? The ones frozen here are insect slaves. You should know about ice burials, right? There are so many corpses in this ice layer, which means that insect slaves are buried in ice. The Zerg settlement should not be too far away."

I remembered the previous movement, and immediately understood that the sound I heard before should be the sound made by the bald heads when they were digging ice. Because of the special terrain here, their voices spread far away and were heard by me. .

Daxun followed and stepped forward, saying: "This corpse is the closest. We planned to dig him out and check the situation. We might be able to find the location of the treasure map. Unexpectedly, we suddenly saw that this insect slave had moved. It's gone!" I was a little surprised, you must know that Daxun's character is relatively mature and stable, and he is more reliable, even if he said this, could it be that the corpse inside can really move?
The bald head nodded hastily, and continued: "No, I was digging on the wheel, and seeing the corpse inside could move, it frightened me to death." In the ice layer, how could a person who had been frozen solid? Can move?

Even if the people inside have turned into things like zombies and can still move, but the ice layer is dead, how can it move?Could it be that the ice around the body is actually empty?
When this thought came to me, I grabbed the flashlight from the bald man's hand and pointed it directly at the figure in the ice, observing carefully.

Since the ice layer had been chipped away a lot by Baldhead and the others, the lights were stuck on it, and the remaining ice layer became very transparent, and the clumps of corpses inside became more clear.

According to the bald head and the others, they were already exhausted and tried to dig through the ice, trying to find clues on the worm slave, but the corpse suddenly moved, which scared them so much that their minds trembled, exhausted and frightened. I didn't pay much attention, so I ran away. When I was mentally prepared and planned to come back to check carefully, I heard my voice.

At this time, I leaned over to look at the corpse. Daxun and Baldhead were also beside me, one on the left and one on the right.

Just about three or four seconds after my light was turned on, the corpse actually started to move.

My heart skipped a beat, and my heart beat violently as if an accelerator had been installed.

The three people who were close to each other shrank their bodies back at the same time, but this time Daxun and the bald head were not as cowardly as they said before, they neither ran nor screamed, and still watched corpse.

Although my heart was beating like a drum, it was steady. The courage and calmness I had cultivated in the past two years played a particularly important role at this moment.

I don't need to say more, Daxun and the bald head have already aimed their guns at the corpse in the ice, and the flashlight in my hand is still shining steadily.The corpse in the ice layer was indeed moving, but the magnitude of the movement was not large, and the shape did not change.

I watch carefully.

It stands to reason that if it moves, it will exert force. During this process, the hands, feet, muscles, and bones will all respond.

But at this moment, the body inside, the whole 'person' remains unchanged, but inexplicably moved slightly, that feeling, as if there was an invisible external force pushing it.

Soon, I found the source of the external force.

In the blurry ice layer, there is something very tiny, which seems to be pulling the corpse.

I squinted my eyes and looked at it for a long time before I finally realized what it was, and I gasped suddenly: "It's the roots!"

The roots of that plant!
Since this is a place slightly inside the ice crevice, the roots of the plants hanging outside the ice layer do not extend so deep. In the ice layer at the exit, the entangled roots make the inside of the ice layer look very messy .

But the closer we are to our direction, the fewer roots there are, so the ice layer is more thorough.

But at this moment, I saw a few roots, like earthworms swimming in the soil, seeming to be stuck into the corpse and still moving.

As soon as they moved, they naturally moved the corpse.

I suddenly wanted to understand how these plants absorb nutrients in the ice and snow.

The corpses frozen in these ice layers may be their source of nourishment.

As soon as I explained my thoughts, Daxun and Baldhead looked at each other, obviously frightened.The bald head murmured, "It's already rare enough that plants can grow in this ice layer. I didn't expect that this thing would 'eat' people?"

The cannibalism he said meant that the plants took root in the corpse, but now I realized that these plants might really eat people.

I said: "They can move and absorb nutrients from the flesh and blood. What about the exposed parts of them except for the roots that can move and absorb nutrients?"

"Damn!" The bald man cursed and said, "The more you talk about it, the more panicked I become. What should I do now, should I continue to dig out this corpse, or just withdraw it?"

I looked at the roots that were slowly moving inside, and my experience told me that it is best not to take the initiative to provoke, so I said: "Just withdraw, the little cutie is also sick, and you are still waiting for me, your physical strength has also reached its limit, or Find a safe place to rest first, this Zong slave looks like he has a waist and hips, and he won't find anything after thinking about it, just leave him alone."

The bald-headed man was heartbroken when he said this, he nodded immediately, put away the chisel on the ground, and took the lead in retreating.

I also turned off the flashlight, not wanting to look at the roots and moving corpses crawling in the ice, so I turned my head and followed.
