&34;Crash...!&34;
Accompanied by a loud sound, Chen Bufan and the other four counted down in unison, and at the same time, they pulled the fabric of the tent down with force.
In an instant, the originally dim environment in the tent was like a mysterious veil was peeled off, and it was exposed to the bright sunshine without reservation.
&34;Shhhhhh...! Hisssss~~&34;
The several brain-eating bugs that were originally hiding in the tent now had nowhere to hide.
Under the direct sunlight, wisps of yellow smoke began to emerge from their bodies, and they let out bursts of shrill screams. The sudden collective screams made the four people present feel nervous, and the zombies outside also slammed the wire fence hard.
These brain-eating worms were seen twisting their bodies desperately, trying to escape from this land of death, but in the end they could only helplessly flee towards a hole in the ground and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Hou Cheng was the first to rush to the computer desk in the middle of the tent. He carefully walked around the corpses lying on the ground and stopped in front of a corpse sitting on a chair.
Looking at the corpse in front of him with its head broken open and the brain missing, Hou Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "How tragic! Look, these people's brains have been eaten by those disgusting bugs." After saying that, an expression of not being able to bear to look at it appeared on his face.
Li Feier, who was standing by, also followed over. She stared at the corpses with her eyes wide open and her mouth opened wide. She was so shocked that she couldn't utter a word.
Jiang Tong did not pay attention to the corpse on the ground like everyone else, but walked straight to the computer screen that was still on.
The screen showed that there was a distress message being continuously sent out.
She frowned tightly. After knowing the existence of brain-eating worms, she didn't know whether this was a distress message sent by humans themselves or done by those damn worms.
If it was done by a bug, then this is a trap. By sending a distress message, it attracts rescuers here and then kills them.
Chen Bufan did not immediately go to the computer desk. He slowly squatted down and came to the pit where the brain-eating worm escaped.
He narrowed his eyes and looked into the cave intently.
The pit was like a ferocious giant mouth, about one and a half meters in diameter, gaping eerily on the ground.
The walls of the cave were smooth and covered with a thick, sticky liquid of a strange light green color. It seemed that the cave was more than ten meters deep.
The entire cave was filled with a fishy smell that was so strong that it was almost impossible to dispel. The smell was like the stench of countless rotten fish and shrimp piled together, making people dizzy.
The light in the cave was dim, and it seemed very damp and cold, with wisps of hot air rising from the depths.
It was obvious that those ferocious bugs crawled out from here and launched a surprise attack on the outpost.
Moreover, there are not only one type of insects.
Although those brain-eating worms that feed on human brains are ferocious, they are simply unable to dig caves of such a large scale and complex structure with their own abilities.
It can be inferred from this that there must be other types of insects that have mutated, and that they have reached some kind of tacit understanding and cooperation to complete this huge project together.
Chen Bufan stared at the deep pit with interest, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.
Now he has unique skills, extraordinary strength, and extremely inflated self-confidence. Not only is he not afraid of this kind of thing full of unknowns and dangers, but he has a strong desire to explore.
"Ah, these poor people, they all died miserably because their brains were eaten alive! These damn bugs! What a world!"
While others were busy and confused, Hou Cheng silently examined each body carefully.
I saw a shocking big hole on the top of the head of each corpse. The place where the brain was supposed to be stored was now empty, leaving only a bloody scene, which was terrifying.
Moreover, these people must have suffered great pain before they died. The expressions of these corpses were very distorted, with expressions of fear, severe pain, and disbelief.
In the end, many people looked horrible with their eyes rolled back and their faces twitching after their brains were eaten.
"This may be a trap left by bugs. This computer has been sending out distress signals, not only to the base, but also to all devices that can receive the signals. They are intentionally attracting survivors."
Jiang Tong looked at the distress message on the screen with a serious expression and spoke. At first, she also hoped that it was a message sent by humans themselves, but after taking a look at the distress message, she confirmed that it was not from humans, because the distress message was intermittent and the logic was obviously unclear.
"Danger... Wait... Ask for help... Eat..."
The first three are okay, but what the hell is eating? Isn't this just a typed picture of their inner thoughts? Sure enough, their IQ is too simple!
Because when humans ask for help, they can't use such intermittent sentences, they can just say, "This place is under attack, requesting rescue from the base."
"What? Is this true?... It's true!" Hou Cheng walked around the corpse and came to the computer. He took a look at the distress message and knew something was wrong.
"Are we in danger now? It seemed that a few brain-eating worms ran out of that cave just now! Will they report the news?" Li Feier grinned and pointed weakly at the cave that Chen Bufan was looking at.
"Oh my god, that makes sense. After all, these bugs can control a person's body to call for help! How about we retreat? Anyway, we know that it was because of bugs that attacked this outpost! Mission accomplished."
Hou Cheng's eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Tong and Chen Bufan, his face full of anticipation.
Jiang Tong and Li Feier also turned their attention to Chen Bufan at this time, because now the entire team seemed to have tacitly agreed that Chen Bufan would make the final decision.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Bufan nodded to show his agreement.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he really wanted to enter this mysterious cave himself to explore and find out what secrets were hidden inside.
However, when he turned around and saw Jiang Tong and three others beside him, he decided to wait.
After all, with the strength of these three people, they might be able to handle zombies with ease, but facing these highly corrosive mutated insects, they obviously lack effective means of protection.
If they accidentally get their bodies contaminated by the blood of these insects, the consequences would be disastrous and they might even lose their lives. Therefore, he absolutely could not let them fall into such great danger.
Now that he had figured out the interests involved, Chen Bufan decided to escort them to a relatively safe area first, and then return here alone to start his adventure.
Seeing that Chen Bufan had clearly expressed his agreement, Hou Cheng, Jiang Tong and Li Feier immediately started working on the task marking.
They took out a mobile phone, turned on the video function, and began to carefully record the various conditions at the scene: the wounds on the bodies, the corpses of the brain-eating worms, and of course the underground cave.
