Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

And from the appearance, it looks a bit like the skin shape of the tentacle monster.

"I don't know if you have the same symptoms." Zheng Taixiang said with a wry smile.

Everyone checked their whole bodies and found no similar wounds.

"Well, I can only say that this is a curse." Zheng Taixiang sighed heavily.

"How could you?" Lin Ran was puzzled. If symptoms would appear if someone touched an orc head, then they had already touched it before and had no such symptoms.

"I don't know either." Zheng Taixiang said, "The fourth archaeological team suffered heavy casualties. Didn't I send an archaeological team to investigate the situation later? Because I was worried, I went with them."

"I waited for them outside. I waited for a full ten days before I saw them come out. Then their faces were ashen, as if they had seen something terrible."

"I asked them about the situation, but they refused to answer. They just handed me the orc head."

"I thought they might be mentally ill, so I didn't ask any questions and just asked them to go back and have a good rest."

"Later, captain Zhao Heng was hospitalized. He was in a very bad mood and showed symptoms similar to rabies. The doctors and nurses had to keep him in a separate ward."

"As my boss, I decided to check on the situation."

"Then, I saw an extremely terrible scene in the ward."

At this point, Zheng Taixiang's face turned pale, as if he didn't want to recall this scene.

"Zhao Heng in the ward was rotten all over and looked like a monster. He had lost his mind. When he saw me coming, he made a gesture that he wanted to bite me."

"The doctors advised me not to get close to him, but I felt sorry for him because that forest had supernatural legends and many people had died in the past."

"As soon as I got close, he bit me hard on the arm, and that's what happened."

"After he bit me, he seemed to have drank a few mouthfuls of blood and became excited. He said to me——"

"The curse will never end, never end!"

"The doctor rushed to him and injected him with anesthetic. He also bandaged my wound and told me to go to the hospital for regular follow-up visits."

"I originally thought it was nothing, but within a few days, all the team members who were buried at the time died."

"The reason why no case was opened is because... they all died of this disease, and it was learned that they all visited a cemetery, so it was classified as an accident."

After Zheng Taixiang finished speaking, he sighed heavily. At this time, his sleeve was pulled up, exposing the piece of rotten flesh.

"Do you think this will hurt?" Zheng Taixiang suddenly laughed, pressed the lit cigarette to the rotten flesh, and said, "On the contrary, this area is so itchy that I often want to feel the pain."

Seeing him pressing a cigarette on the rotten meat, the rotten meat seemed to be alive, and people gathered around him.

I don't know if it was pus or blood, but the cigarette was extinguished, and there were traces of moisture at the end of the cigarette.

Ma Rubin quickly stepped forward to grab Zheng Taixiang and asked, "Have you gone to the hospital?"

"Of course, the doctor said nothing could be done and suggested I remove it."

"Then cut it off," Lin Ran said. "Although it will have an impact if you lose a piece of flesh on your arm, it will grow back soon. You are not far from death like this."

His words are direct.

Zheng Taixiang smiled and said: "If I told you that it has been cut here, would you believe it?"

Hearing this, everyone turned pale with shock.

If this is the case, it is really not something that the technology of this era can handle.

The ancients were good at various secret arts. They might not understand the principles, but they knew how to apply them in reality.

"Later, I didn't dare to go to the hospital anymore." Cold sweat dripped from Zheng Taixiang's head, "Because if I go to the hospital again and get arrested for research, I'm afraid this is where I will end up."

"Do you just not trust others?" Ma Rubin sneered.

"Would you believe it if it were you?" Zheng Taixiang looked at Ma Rubin and asked meaningfully, "Now you know why I didn't let others go to the tomb."

"So you hired a group of locals to help you?" Ma Rubin could tell the identities of those guys at a glance.

"Of course, I can't let my colleagues in the archaeological team die. As for the Tufuzi, they are just moths anyway. Damn it!" As he spoke, his emotions gradually became excited.

And the piece of rotten meat was also squirming rapidly.

Lin Ran quickly persuaded: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, you can rest first and don't get excited."

After hearing this, Zheng Taixiang closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I forgot that you are also a countryman. For some reason, I have become more and more agitated and irritable recently."

It seems that it is the impact of this virus.

This is completely the prototype of the T-virus!

When Lin Ran and the others walked out of the archaeological team, Liu Jingfeng asked, "What should we do next?"

"Let's wait for the news." He couldn't confirm whether the treasure hunt party had obtained the information now.

They planned to take a taxi back to the hotel to rest. There was no need to go back to the mountain village. They were all worthless tools anyway.

However, he noticed something unusual.

Wang Jinpeng, who usually chatted with Huang Hao, said nothing.

"Jinpeng, there's something wrong with your face?" Lin Ran turned around and saw Wang Jinpeng's face turned pale.

Wang Jinpeng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Then he picked up his clothes.

"I kept feeling itchy on my chest just now, and I thought it was bitten by an insect. But after Zheng Taixiang's words, I remembered..." Wang Jinpeng had a frightened expression on his face... "I was holding that guy's tentacles." At that time, the mouth on the tentacle bit me, but it was through my clothes, so I didn't pay attention."

But after seeing Zheng Taixiang's symptoms, Wang Jinpeng quietly checked his chest.

Although it was small, a similar piece of rotten flesh appeared on his chest.

"What?" After hearing Wang Jinpeng's words, everyone gathered around excitedly.

"It's okay, fat man. With your brain, even viruses can't stand you." Huang Hao wanted to comfort Wang Jinpeng with a joke.

However, Wang Jinpeng was more cheerful than everyone thought and said, "It doesn't matter. Didn't Zheng Taixiang say that there must be an antidote within seven steps of the snake? They have obtained the information from the treasure hunt party. Let's just find a way to find the treasure hunt party."

According to Jung Tae-sang, the wound will appear stable at first, but will rapidly worsen after two weeks.

It had only been less than 24 hours since he was bitten, so there was still plenty of time.

Lin Ran felt very sad, but he also had an idea.

Could it be that the reason why the treasure hunting party turned back was because they hadn't found the antidote yet?

Maybe...

They got the formula for the potion, but they didn't have the antidote.

And some of their important members are infected, so they are very anxious?

While he was guessing, the bp machine rang.

It was an unfamiliar number. It rang five times in a row. It was the secret code he and Guan Yun had left for their connection.

The whereabouts of the treasure hunt party have been found!
