Chapter 17 Corpse Bride

  That woman sat there motionless, as if she had already waited for us for thousands of years. When I saw her at that moment, the heart of that inexplicable sadness reappeared, the pain I seem to be heart seized all the time, strong to the extreme sadness so that I have a kind of want to cry impulse ......   In such a weird place, suddenly appeared such a woman wearing a big red wedding dress, the heart to withstand a little lower people will certainly be scared of light, but Uncle Lai and Luo Hai they are not ordinary people, naturally, are very calm, one of them are carefully watching, do not dare to act rashly.   As time passed by, I realized that this woman was still motionless, not reacting to our appearance, and she had a red cover over her head, making it impossible for us to see her at all.   "She shouldn't be a living person." Luo Hai was the first to break the silence.   Uncle Lai nodded, "Indeed, there isn't a trace of popularity in her body, it's just that this dress is too weird, everyone should be careful."   Luo Hai was an expert grave robber after all, what kind of dead bodies hadn't been seen before? He took out a flinging stick that he had with him from his body, and slowly walked towards the weird bride after flinging the head of the stick out with force ......   Everyone held their breath because they were too nervous, but the heartbeats of several people accelerated a lot because of this, and in such a silent space, I could clearly hear the heartbeats of everyone gradually accelerating.   I couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore, so I wanted to follow Luo Hai and go up to see that woman. But just as soon as he moved, he was pulled back by Ding Yi, "The situation is unclear, it's better for you not to rush forward with your skill."   I gave him a blank look, although the heart more or less some unconvinced, but reason told me that he was right, on my level of this five dregs, if really encountered any danger certainly instantly become cannon fodder.   Although Ding Yi pulled me, but he himself and Luo Hai together slowly approached that weird red woman ......   "Be careful." Watching them get a little bit closer, my heart started to become uneasy.   At the same time, just as the flinging root in Luo Hai's hand was about to pick off the woman's red head, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind, "Don't touch her!"   Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned back to look at the source of the voice, realizing that it wasn't even any of us in the group!   Among the several people, Uncle Lai's eyesight is the most poisonous, he instantly found a black silhouette is standing in the corner where the light is not as good as ......   "Who's there? Come out!" Uncle Lai shouted.   The silhouette's figure lurched, obviously hesitating a bit, but in the end, it slowly walked out of the darkness. When I saw the person's appearance, I was incomparably horrified! So I immediately turned my head to look at Uncle Lai and realized that his expression was similar to mine.   It was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, wearing a blue-gray canvas coveralls, his face was slightly pale, and his skin was a bit dry and cracked from dehydration.   "Who are you? How did you end up here? And why won't you let us touch this her?" Zhao Qiang asked carefully.   The middle-aged man said with a somewhat weak voice, "I'm a member of the scientific research team, I got separated from my own group in the process of coming out to look for water, and then I got lost when I encountered a super storm, and I ended up walking to this place, and I'm trying to look for some drinkable water to replenish my supplies here."   Zhao Qiang and the others seemed to have more or less lowered their guard on this middle-aged man when they heard him say this, but I was still shocked as I looked at Uncle Lai, but he shook his head to indicate that I should not act rashly yet.   I was shocked to the core, but on the surface I still had to pretend to be calm and said, "This uncle, may I ask why you say this woman can't be touched?"   The middle aged man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, then reached out and pointed to the side of the woman in red and said, "You guys take a look ...... from this direction."   Luo Hai immediately shone his wolf-eye flashlight on the woman's side and found that there was actually an unknown plant growing out of the woman's body, the thin vines spreading all the way to the woman's red-covered face.   "What is this thing?" Luo Hai asked in surprise.   The middle-aged man took out the notebook in his bag, looked down and flipped through a few pages, then looked up and said to us, "This is a very old sporophyte from the Cretaceous period, which completes its entire life cycle by parasitizing in the body of an animal. You see, that reached into the woman's head of the vine should be in the dormant spores, if once an object touches the head of the cover, it will immediately spew out spores, the human body once infected will die within 12 hours, after which the body will be like this woman's body as a thousand years of non-corrosion, only until other animals appear, touch the body again, spewing out new spores, to complete the life cycle. "   Everyone listened to this with a look of fear, luckily just now Luo Hai didn't touch that red head, or else with the distance we are all standing at now, none of us should be able to be spared.   "How did you know that this kind of plant kills people?" Zhao Qiang asked with a puzzled expression.   The middle-aged man pushed the glasses on his face again and said, "I'm a biologist, this is my specialty, although this is also the first time I've seen this plant in reality, but judging from the murals here, my guess is definitely not wrong."   Hearing him say that, everyone looked at the wall, and only then did they realize that there were many exquisite murals carved on this dark-looking wall. Although each mural was very fine, but I still had a hard time connecting them one by one.   The first mural shows a guy who is not a human but a fish, and he looks like he just came out from the sea, but in the second mural, this guy is wearing human clothes and starting to plow the land!   At this time I saw Uncle Lai frowning and gazing at the mural, so I asked him, "Uncle Lai, can you understand what the meaning of the mural on this wall is?"   Uncle Lai didn't answer me, instead he turned around and asked the middle-aged man politely, "Can you read it?"   The middle-aged man nodded, "I can probably understand about seven or eight percent of it!"   He then told us about the content described in the murals. ......   These murals said that the ancestors here were all sharks living in the sea, and then because of some geological changes, the sea dried up. So these sharks in order to survive can only come to the shore life, and later they also gradually integrated into the human, on the surface and human have no difference.   But these sharks although on the shore, but still can not leave the water, so they found the seat of the earliest seat of the ancient city, because there is an underground water vein.   But just when the sharks are happy to find a source of water can survive, the first few sharks to get water but suddenly died, and then went in the sharks are not anything.   This phenomenon occurs once every seven years, and later they believed that this underground water vein was held by the "water god", and if they wanted to get water, they had to sacrifice a living person once every seven years.   Then the neighborhood suddenly rain fire, the whole land has become a sea of fire, the sharks because of the only life-saving water in the hide survived. The fire rained for seven days and seven nights, and after the fire was finally extinguished, the sharks found many small and large black stones on the ground.
