Plague Doctor

This time, the Mistbreaker team did not bring the Zugos. The Zugos did not have a "key" and could not cross the boundaries during the action deduction. Instead, they might mutate into monsters.

They have also received the news, and they are not willing to take risks no matter what. Besides, they can still contribute by staying outside in Dongzhou. The murder suspects have not been found yet, and there may be other secret two-world passages. , you have to search carefully...

But without Zu Ge, the dead swamp is even more mysterious, with broken trees, the cries of crows falling, cold wind, and gray sky.

Lou Xiaoning, Deng Ximei and Grant Bell were carefully stepping on the rotten mud and exploring their surroundings.

They didn't go far, they were within a fifty-meter radius centered on Yu Chi. The amniotic wall was not far behind them, but the front was unknown. If this was an overlapping area, it should still be within the scope of the main alley, but they didn't see even a trace of the main alley.

In the vast swamp, some mud puddles are filled with inexplicable blisters, as if they are swallowing something.

Deng Ximei looked at an old withered tree in one direction with emotion and said, "Let's go over and take a look at that tree."

There are some dead trees on the swamp, all alone. Although they are so rotten that it is difficult to distinguish them, they do not look like tree species from the earth.

Lou Xiaoning and Grant Bell didn't know what was special about that tree, but Deng Ximei's inspiration was very important, so they walked carefully with her rifle in hand.

At the same time, Uncle Dan put a fixed chest strap on Yu Chi and told the doctor: "No matter what you are going to do in the near future, use your breasts less."

"Okay." Yu Chi nodded anxiously and stood up with the help of Uncle Dan and Mo Qing. He could still move freely, but he could no longer bear weight.

"Yu Dui, how are you? Does it still hurt?" Feng Peiqian asked sadly, but her heart ached.

"It hurts..." Yu Chi really still hurts, but he can't care about it anymore. He has other things to do, "I have to repair the fifth pillar quickly and erect the sixth pillar... I've thought about it. The pillars are too similar, almost all of them are the love of archeology, which is not comprehensive enough. I should set up something else, such as Peiqian you..."

"Ah." Feng Peiqian's eyes suddenly lit up, her heart tightened, and she could barely take a breath.

"There are also Ziyuan and the others." Yu Chi frowned and muttered, "I want to build a pillar of the Mysterious Bureau based on you. Yes, it should be a good idea."

Feng Peiqian took a deep breath.

Peacock and Catherine both shrugged. It was indeed a good idea, but it just didn't have the speaking skills.

This dead tree has no leaves and is about ten meters high. The thick trunk is coiled there, and the bottom seems to be deep in the mire. Therefore, even if all the leaves have fallen off, the branches have withered, and even crows will not perch on it. A dead tree has not yet fallen.

Its bark is dark brown with large cracks, and when you look at it in a daze, it looks like the face of an old man.

Deng Ximei walked all the way to the front of the tree. She smelled a different smell here, the smell of blood, the blood of humans on earth.

"There seems to be blood here..." She said softly, and the illusion loomed in front of her eyes. The blood did not come from the enemy, but from her companions.

"Here." Lou Xiaoning has found it. With her excellent field tracking ability, she can tell that the hard soil under her feet is slightly different. There is a little dark red in the dark brown color. She bends closer. , the smell of blood enters the nose.

The presence of blood means that someone has been active here and there are injured people.

At this time, Deng Ximei looked at the tree and vaguely discovered something else. After taking a few steps around, she saw recognizable carvings on one side of the tree trunk. But these words are being pulled and swallowed by the bark of the tree, and some words have been lost.

"This tree is not dead yet." She said immediately, realizing something. "Dead trees cannot exist here. Everything here is alive."

Grant Bell looked up at the old tree. Indeed, even though it had no leaves, it still seemed to have a strange and powerful vitality.

"Are those words?" Lou Xiaoning also saw it, his left eye widened slightly, "Did Gu Jun and the others leave them?"

The still legible words on the tree read:

[With the membrane wall as the east, we head... north... be careful... there are strange hands in the swamp...]

This is only a small part of the incomplete writing on the tree. The rest has been damaged by the dark brown bark into unrecognizable messy scratches.

Maybe if they had arrived earlier, they would have seen more information, but now they can only interpret this shapeless words.

One rule of thumb when venturing into places where dark forces are rampant is to try not to have direct physical contact with anything. Especially here, the power of the Black Goat of the Forest can obviously cause human body distortion, and the mutation speed is faster than nuclear radiation.

Therefore, the three of them did not touch the tree rashly. Deng Ximei might be able to trigger the illusion if she touched it, but they also needed to be careful.

However, even though there was no direct contact, she just looked at the carvings and had a different feeling...

"Callop's scalpel." Deng Ximei said casually, "Those words, I feel, were carved with Carlop's scalpel. The one holding the knife should be Ajun."

"Then, if that's the case." Lou Xiaoning looked to the north, "That's where they went? Why?"

The north side of the swamp looks nothing special. It's not even the exit of the alley. With the membrane wall to the east, the exit of the alley is to the south.

But why did Gu Jun choose to go north? Have you explored the south and found it to be a dead end? Or are there other reasons?

He should have already engraved it... and "little

What does "There are strange hands in the quagmire of the heart" mean? There are strange hands in the quagmire of the heart?

Deng Ximei looked around the surrounding swamp again, and her eyes were once again focused on the bubbles rising in the muddy water...

There were slight surging sounds, the sound of water bubbles bursting, and the sound of things turning over... However, these sounds did not seem to come from the mud puddles.

Suddenly, the three of them heard Yu Chi's suppressed and anxious calls: "We have a situation here, there is a situation!" "Be careful of those corpse storage tanks, there are weird things, there are collisions inside, the tank covers I'm moving..."

Yu Chi, Feng Peiqian, Uncle Dan, Peacock and Mo Qing have all pointed the muzzles of their automatic rifles at the corpse storage tank next to them.

This is the storage tank that Yu Chi pulled over. What is inside is also a relatively complete corpse of a dead man soaked in formalin.

But now they are not sure what has become inside.

And not only this corpse trough, but the other seven corpse troughs around were also making crashing sounds.

Bang, bang, bang, the impact became louder and harsher.

Love the Plague Doctor.
