alien island

Chapter 54 Mutation

At night, the surrounding environment is almost so dark that you can't see your fingers. Under the shadow of a large black tree with intertwined branches, there is a bright fire. The warm orange light seems to bring a sense of tranquility to this quiet jungle. A ray of warm light.

From time to time, there were strange barking sounds of animals in the distance. In the darkness, there seemed to be many eyes that were facing the light, flickering, and the occasional cool wind would blow the dense leaves on the branches. There was a shuttle sound, and even the flame was blown up and danced a little higher.

The few people sitting around the fire are survivors who have long been familiar with each other, and they are also another group of people separated from Zhang Yao, Pei Yan and others.At this moment, their whole bodies looked very messy and messy, with mud and dust all over their bodies, and there were still some unpicked leaves and grass clippings in the gaps between their hair.

During the day, they marched low-key. In order to avoid a giant insect with a length of several meters that sprang out from the ground, several of them ran forward desperately.If the worm was not poisonous, they would still want to muster up the courage to try it out, but when they saw the reddish-brown worm head with an inverted triangle and the tail with two barbed thorns, bending over the horrifying hole above the worm's body, The shape, just standing there, made them feel intimidated. It is absolutely inferred that this insect must be poisonous, and they cannot fight each other. They can only choose to run away.

After running all the way, I was stumbled countless times by the fallen leaves and weeds on the uneven ground or the protruding roots of the trees. After gritting my teeth and running intermittently for an afternoon, all my energy was exhausted, and I finally chased after them all the time. Get rid of the horrible monster bugs.

The lucky news is that none of them got lost or were attacked, and even the weakest middle-aged woman and her young child ran along with everyone smoothly.As for the unfortunate news, where they are now, they can't find the south, east, north and west at all. They are completely lost in the jungle and don't know which direction to go, especially on this island. Accurately distinguish the direction to locate the walking, and it becomes more and more difficult to find the way.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Liu Rong began to assign. One group of people was responsible for urgently building a shelter for sleeping and resting at night, and the other group was responsible for finding some food nearby so that everyone could eat together at night.

Liu Rong felt that he was strong enough, so he took the initiative to say that he would be responsible for building the shed. Huang Bin, the taciturn man whose hand was bitten, no longer wanted to run around at all. If he encountered any danger, he would be finished, so he also decided to choose Stayed to build, and the director Zhao Xiangguo, who had exhausted his energy running today, naturally explained that he was willing to stay to cut down trees and build shelters.

Therefore, the task of collecting food can only be given to Lu Boming, who is a doctor's assistant, and the mother and son, who are responsible for going out to find food.As for the man who has been crazy and silly, talking to himself for a while, crying loudly for a while, and tossing himself endlessly, the man who lost his wife and children, stayed where he was, with Liu Rong tied around his waist to prevent him Run away, he was tied with a long rope of tree vines, he was squatting on the ground alone playing with the dead leaves all over the ground, he was mumbling something alone.

Unexpectedly, because I just had a sudden onset of drug addiction, I tried my best to restrain my body, and after a short period of time when my mind went blank, those construction jobs that don’t go far, were all taken away by other people, and I went directly The task assigned to him is to go out to find food.Facing several other men who were obviously stronger than himself, Lu Boming also knew that he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he could only accept this matter as unlucky, but when he thought that he was going to set off with the mother and child, he felt Feeling uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Since that day, when the middle-aged woman came back with her child, Lu Boming has been feeling a little hairy. After waiting for a long time, he has never seen that middle-aged woman who always likes to care about every detail and care about her child, come to trouble him , to confront her child about being pushed into the water.

Lu Boming was naturally unwilling to let the child complain about that matter, so that other people would alienate him or abandon him and leave.But that child didn't seem to say anything, and his mother never came to trouble him.Didn't say anything, it's good, but it's too weird, Lu Boming doesn't think that child will be the type who will be obediently silent and never complain or gossip. Could it be that the child suddenly changed his mind because he fell off the waterfall and damaged his brain? Or amnesia?

Anyway, the little boy didn't expose him anyway, so Lu Boming was temporarily relieved. Although he still felt a little regretful and resentful, he wondered why the little boy wasn't thrown to death or drowned?Every time when his drug addiction started and he wanted to suck his blue liquid, he would remember again that all his potions had been poured out by that bastard child!The resentment in his heart inevitably climbed up again, subconsciously, he usually pays more attention to the situation of that little boy.

Gradually, Lu Boming seemed to have really realized that the situation of this little boy was somewhat different from before...

The first thing he noticed was that this little boy was much more silent than before, although before this little boy was protected by his mother, he could hardly leave his mother's sight range, and he didn't speak much.Once the little boy behaved curiously, he would be dragged back by his mother to stop his behavior, so the little boy always seemed to be obedient and obedient.But anyway, sometimes, he would still shout a few words and say that he was hungry, but now, since the little boy was found and brought back by his mother that day, he has been guarded by his mother with more love and stupidity , the little boy was obviously much more silent than before, and Lu Boming never heard the little boy speak at all.The whole body movements and so on seem to be much more awkward than before.

For example, today when they were avoiding the huge insects chasing them, Lu Boming occasionally looked back and saw the little boy who was being dragged forward by the middle-aged woman. His hands were dragged, but his head was twisted. The posture hangs by the shoulders, not affected by the running posture at all, and the other arm is also dangling from side to side, as stiff as a puppet, as if he has forgotten how to control his body.

In terms of facial expressions, the little boy didn't seem to show any other expressions, they were always indifferent, neither happy nor sad, and even the expression of fear disappeared.These abnormalities, in the eyes of the middle-aged woman who loves the child crazily, seem to subconsciously ignore all the visions on the child, and she just spends more time guarding the little boy than usual.

Now this quiet little boy seems to make the middle-aged woman feel more satisfied and at ease. He is no longer curious to look at other things, no longer asks sad questions about where his father is, and no longer stays away from her sight. No longer running around and jumping to cause people to worry, such a child seems to be her real "good son"

……

Lu Boming was really reluctant in his heart, and together with the middle-aged woman and the little boy, they went to look for food nearby while the sky was not completely dark.The remaining men have begun to use the stone and wood tools and weapons they have made themselves for several days to cut down the more easily available plants to build their shelters.

There are fallen leaves all over the ground, as long as you look down carefully, you can find groups of red ants crawling on the ground, such as fingernail-sized red ants, and flat shapes that are very similar to those often seen in the kitchen at home. The brown shiny appearance, but at least twice the size of the common giant flat cockroaches, and some strange cylindrical insects with multiple tentacles, all kinds of insects are constantly crawling on the ground. Dare to rest directly on the ground...

In order not to be harassed by these terrible bugs, those who stay and choose to build must also try their best to cut down the wood so that they can build a shelter higher than the ground, so that they can get a real chance to rest peacefully tonight.

Over there, Lu Boming was still walking side by side with the mother and child. His eyes couldn't help but secretly glanced at the little boy who was being held by the middle-aged woman's left hand. The boy's head was still hanging on one side in a strange posture. , following the movement of walking, still unable to see the expression on his face clearly, Lu Boming turned his gaze to the hands held together by the little boy and the middle-aged woman.Suddenly, I realized that the boy's hands are obviously much grayer than the hands of middle-aged women. This kind of whiteness is not the natural snow-white skin, nor is it the inherited diseased whiteness, but a kind of lifeless, which makes people look very pale. Uncomfortable off-white, lifeless.

Just as Lu Boming was observing, the little boy who had been tilting his neck and bowing his head involuntarily jerked his head back during a bumpy walk, revealing the face that he had never shown when he bowed his head. The color on his face was the same as his The skin on the arms was the same, all gray and white, without the pinkish blood that a child should have, and the color of the lips also turned a little blue.In fact, the complexion and so on are only secondary. At this moment, Lu Boming's attention is completely focused on the little boy's forehead.Pushed and fell into the river that day, the forehead wound was clearly broken by the stone.

The wound on the side of the forehead that was cut open by the stone hadn't recovered or showed signs of scarring. The bright red flesh was set against the pale and dull skin, making it even more strange.Moreover, the wound seemed to be wider than it was at the beginning.In the flesh of the bright red wound, Lu Boming vaguely saw a white strip-shaped object, which flashed by in an instant, and when he wanted to pay attention again, the white object had no longer appeared at the wound. .Lu Boming is sure that what he saw just now was definitely not his hallucination...
