Chapter 4204: Self-protection mechanism

Faced with the teasing of the two, Jiang Wenhui didn't know what to say.

She also realized that no matter how she explained the matter, they would not listen.

Ring ring ring——

Just then, Xiao Bing's cell phone rang.

None of the remaining three people paid any attention and just lowered their voices.

But after receiving the call, Xiao Bing's expression changed instantly.

Lin Yi and Luo Qi immediately realized that something was wrong. It must be something extraordinary that could make Xiao Bing show such an expression.

"Are you sure it's him?"

"Only one person showed up?"

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Bing put the phone aside and continued chatting about the previous topic without saying anything else.

"I'm going to the bathroom, you guys chat first."

Jiang Wenhui left tactfully, and Xiao Bing's expression became serious.

"What happened."

Xiao Bing's face became increasingly ugly, even a little frightened.

"Don't worry, let me sort out my thoughts."

After a pause of a few seconds, Xiao Bing said:

"The village closest to Ailao Mountain is called Laiwu Village, which is only five kilometers away. We just received news that the village was attacked."

"Attacked?"

This news sounded a bit strange to the two of them.

Although the three major foreign forces have gathered near Ailao Mountain, they will not attack civilians.

Everyone just has their own needs, and they are not perverted murderers. Even Mammon would not do such a thing easily.

Based on past experience, it is unlikely that the three major organizations attacked the nearby villages without special reasons.

"Did anyone say who it was? Or in other words, are there any clues in this regard? How many people are there exactly?" Lin Yi said.

"According to the survivors, there was only one person who was like a madman and bit everyone he saw."

Upon hearing the news, Lin Yi and Luo Qi's expressions changed.

If that's the case, things are complicated.

"I know. Is it that huge black shadow? It has disappeared for so many years and finally shows up again." Luo Qi said.

"No..." Xiao Bing said:

"Four of the people we sent out to investigate are missing. Based on the information we gathered, the person who attacked Village 5 is most likely the missing person."

hiss--

Upon hearing the news, Luo Qi took a breath and got goose bumps all over her body.

Even Lin Yi felt creepy after hearing it, let alone Luo Qi who would have such a big reaction.

The three men looked gloomy, as if there was a dark cloud floating above their heads.

Now, their minds are filled with the word "irrational".

At the same time, Jiang Wenhui came back, and the three of them restrained their expressions.

During the subsequent dinner, the four of them were still talking and laughing, hiding their emotions very well.

Because we ate early, it ended around eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, the square outside was very busy and had the largest flow of people in the day, but Jiang Wenhui had no plans to go out and set up a stall.

I will go back with Lin Yi tomorrow, so I have to go back today to prepare.

After sending Jiang Wenhui back, Xiao Bing and Luo Qi waved at her but did not get out of the car.

After Jiang Wenhui left, the three of them sat in the car, their faces filled with gloom again.

"If the news is true, and one of the people is not dead, then the other three may not be dead either," said Luo Qi.

"I thought of a possibility. This incident might be related to the black tooth worm. Although it's a bit far-fetched, it's the only possibility I can think of."

"Speak freely, go ahead."

After organizing his words, Luo Qi said:

"Brother Lin, when you were communicating with Academician Zhao before, didn't you say that there is a virus in the black-toothed worms that can affect the nerve center? I suspect that after they entered Ailao Mountain, they were attacked by black-toothed worms, and their nerve centers were invaded by the blood-thirsty virus. So they attacked the people in the village like crazy, just like the experimental subjects who escaped from the research institute that year."

In the eyes of Lin Yi and Xiao Bing, this guess is entirely possible and logically self-consistent, but the probability is relatively low.

But because we have learned from previous experiences, this thing is possible.

"I think if this is the case, it would be a paradox," Xiao Bing said:

"Even if their nerve centers are contaminated, they are still complete people biologically, and they have entered the Ailao Mountains. If it is really unobservable there, their existence cannot be explained, forming a paradox."

"No." Lin Yi said:

"You can have such an idea because you are subjectively distinguishing between humans and animals. In fact, in front of nature, or in front of that invisible ideology, we are all the same. They and we are no different from pigs and dogs. You just need to treat them as the experimental subjects of the past."

After thinking for a while, Lin Yi continued:

"After they entered Ailao Mountain, they were attacked by black-toothed insects because they were unobservable. But after they were attacked, they became the guards of Ailao Mountain to a certain extent and were assimilated into the same kind as the snakes, insects, rats and ants living there."

Both of them were silent. It was indeed they who had preconceived ideas just now.

In the face of nature, there is indeed not much difference between humans and snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"I have another idea."

Luo Qi looked at Lin Yi and said:

"Brother Lin, according to what you said, if they are assimilated and become the guards of Ailao Mountain, they will have the qualifications to enter Ailao Mountain. If we use modern medical methods to cure them, does that mean we have the key to Ailao Mountain?"

Lin Yi and Xiao Bing's eyes lit up. This might be a feasible way.

"That's true, but the question is, how can we meet them? These people are not easy to meet."

Lin Yi nodded, thinking about this matter.

What Luo Qi said is indeed a solution, at least it is very feasible.

"Brother Lin, why don't you speak?" Xiao Bing asked.

After some activities, Lin Yi said:

"The really weird thing about this incident is not that the missing people came back in another form, but that this incident is very similar to the insect plague of that year, or even exactly the same. I was wondering, it has been more than 20 years since the insect plague, and during this period, many people entered Ailao Mountain and never came out. Why did something similar happen at this time point?"

The two girls looked at Lin Yi and said:

"This must be a coincidence, Brother Lin, are you too sensitive?"

"This is not a sensitive matter, because I thought of a possibility, which is a self-protection mechanism."
