Chapter 144: Spider in the Fruit
Lin Yi's words surprised Zhou Kai and Zhang Cheng.
Zhou Kai, in particular, didn't understand why Lin Yi had such an idea.
"He has no relationship with us, and we don't know each other. Why should he save us?" Zhou Kai asked.
Lin Yi shook his head and didn't answer immediately.
He took out some food from his bag - the canned food Zhang Cheng found from Brother Lei's residence. Although there were not many left, he could still take out two or three cans, as well as the fruits he took away before parting with Hua, and the dried fruits and rat meat that Zhou Yun had dried in the past two months.
Lin Yi picked two of them and turned to walk towards the little girl.
Considering that the little girl was timid, in order to prevent her from hiding again because of fear, Lin Yi did not approach directly.
"Little sister, can I exchange this for the fruit in your hand?"
The little girl was trembling and didn't dare to speak. After looking at Lin Yi, she quickly lowered her head.
On the other hand, the little boy on the side seemed to have gotten used to Lin Yi and the others. He looked at the food in Lin Yi's hand and whispered a few words to the little girl.
Then, the little girl handed the fruit in her hand to the little boy, who took the food from Lin Yi's hand.
After the exchange, Lin Yi returned to Zhou Kai and Zhang Cheng with the fruit.
"Why do you exchange for such a thing?" Zhou Kai asked puzzledly, "As for fruits, we also have our own."
"Compared to these fruits of unknown origin, wouldn't it be safer to eat the ones we brought ourselves?"
"I didn't bring them to eat." Lin Yi looked back at the two children and pulled Zhang Cheng and Zhou Kai to the corner.
Then he raised the fruit in his hand and threw it down hard.
With a "bang", the fruit was smashed to pieces.
Accompanied by a burst of sweet fruit fragrance, something rushed out of the smashed flesh.
The thing looked like black sesame seeds, about a dozen of them, and quickly fled.
Zhou Kai was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he raised his foot and stepped on it decisively.
Lin Yi did the same, but Zhang Cheng on the side stared at these things for a while, and after seeing their appearance clearly, he retreated to the side in fear.
"Spiders!" Zhang Cheng's face showed visible fear.
Even when he saw the alien creatures, he had never been so scared.
"It's just a few spiders. Is it necessary to be so scared?" Zhou Kai looked up and glanced at Zhang Cheng.
"You know nothing." Zhang Cheng said, "Spiders are the most terrifying creatures in the world."
It can be seen that Zhang Cheng is really afraid of this creature.
His reaction surprised Lin Yi. He didn't expect that Zhang Cheng, who was fearless, would be scared by a few spiders.
Seeing the fear in his eyes, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Don't laugh, step on them quickly." Zhang Cheng glared at Lin Yi.
"Fortunately, I didn't eat these fruits. Otherwise, if I took a bite, there would be a mouthful of spiders crawling around in my mouth. Who can bear this?" When he said this, Zhang Cheng seemed to have a picture in his mind, and he shuddered.
"There are just bugs in the fruit. What's the fuss?" Zhou Kai said casually.
Having said that, Zhou Kai also felt a little strange.
If it weren't for his enhanced vision and the two months of training on reaction ability, these spiders might have escaped.
"However, I can understand that there are only one or two, but the spiders in here... aren't they a little too many?"
"You haven't seen spider eggs." Zhang Cheng said, "That thing hatches a large nest at once, and a large number of them hatch out densely. Just thinking about this scene makes my scalp numb, it's too scary."
"The reason why Ah Shu took the fruits and mushrooms on the plate, maybe it's because he didn't want to see us eat these spiders?" Lin Yi looked around and whispered.
"You mean, there are spiders in all the food?!" Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment.
"Not all of them, there shouldn't be any in these things." Lin Yi looked back at the egg fruit on the plate.
It was obviously the thing that looked most like insect eggs, but there were no insects in it.
Thinking about it carefully, Ah Shu's behavior at that time was indeed very strange.
Ah Shu said he was hungry, but the villagers here were enthusiastic, and as long as you ask, they will definitely provide you with food.
However, Ah Shu just snatched the food that the villagers gave to Lin Yi and them.
If Ah Shu had taken all the food, or even some of it, it wouldn't be so strange.
But he left the egg fruit behind and took everything except the egg fruit.
If Ah Shu also remembered that these egg fruits that looked like insect eggs were disgusting, so he didn't take them away, he wouldn't have eaten an egg fruit in front of Lin Yi and the others.
Ah Shu's behavior seemed to tell Lin Yi and the others that the only things that could be eaten in this place were these egg fruits that were easy to cause psychological discomfort.
And those fruits and mushrooms that seemed to be harmless were actually things that couldn't be eaten.
Lin Yi recalled what Ah Shu had said. He deliberately mentioned that this place was "haunted". Could it be that he also wanted to tell Lin Yi implicitly that this place was not clean?
"According to you, this Ah Shu is a good person?" Zhou Kai asked after listening to Lin Yi's analysis.
Zhang Cheng touched his chin, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. The reason he wanted us to leave here may also be that he was worried that our presence would affect his plan."
"After all, this guy's purpose for coming here is not simple."
In any case, Lin Yi and the others can now be sure that something is wrong with this place.
So, the next question is whether to stay or not.
Zhou Kai suggested leaving immediately. In his opinion, it is better to do less than more, and there is no need to risk one's life.
But Zhang Cheng didn't think so. Even if he left here, the outside world was still full of dangers.
Since there are wolves in front and tigers behind, why not just collect more useful information, so that he can better face the next danger.
Lin Yi's idea at the beginning was the same as Zhang Cheng, but now, he hesitated.
It's not that his willpower is not firm, but because of these spiders hiding in the fruit.
These spiders are the size of sesame seeds, and you can't find them at all when you bite them.
If it weren't for the appearance of Ah Shu, perhaps they would avoid the egg fruit and choose to eat the fruits and mushrooms on the plate.
At that time, these disgusting little things would go down his throat and drill into their bodies.
The villagers here have been eating these things for a long time, which means that their bodies are very likely to be full of spiders.
Not only that, as they grow, these spiders are likely to eat the villagers' internal organs, absorb enough nutrients, and use the villagers as "pupae" and as a breeding ground, constantly developing in their bodies, and eventually growing into a mature big spider.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi looked at the egg fruit on the plate.
These egg fruits, wouldn't they be the eggs hatched by spiders?
If the spiders are about the same size as humans, then it is not impossible to hatch eggs the length of a palm.
But why are there no insects in these eggs? Because they are still in the egg stage?
If they continue to stay here, Lin Yi is not sure whether they will be forced to eat these foods containing spiders.
Just when Lin Yi wanted to discuss with his companions, Zhou Kai suddenly looked outside the house.
He frowned and said seriously: "Zhu Lai is coming."
