Chapter 234： Splinterhead

 “Good guy!”

 The captain's words made Mr. Zai understand something immediately, and he called him "good guy" in the live broadcast room.

 “I understand, brother cute!”

 “I finally understand what’s going on!”

“No wonder the captain and the command center emphasize that investigation is the main task and rescue is the supplement.”

"Given the nature of the forest's crazy growth, and the fact that the rest of the passages were destroyed by tree roots, the team of Emotions didn't intend to come out alive from the beginning, right?"

“Damn it, no wonder this captain has a sense of mission as he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. It turns out that he knows that he may die on this mission.”

 At this time, an eye-catching message worth 30 yuan passed by.

 It says above: Is it possible that their sense of mission is an order from above?

Mr. Zai looked at it, shook his head and explained.

"Brothers, think about it, didn't we say that all the other passages were destroyed by tree roots? Only passage 21 has not been destroyed by tree roots, but before the passage was completed, the construction workers became vegetative. Doesn't this mean that passage 21 has been destroyed by tree roots? Did the construction of Channel No. 21 also end due to tree roots? No other channel was spared, and it was only a matter of time that Channel 21 was destroyed by tree roots."

“Then other passages could not be constructed due to tree roots, which shows that modern technology cannot solve the characteristics of the forest. When this task force entered, the tree roots destroyed the passage, and they could only wait to die in the forest.”

"So, I guess they had no intention of coming out alive in the first place and were determined to die. In this case, who else could they save? If they couldn't save themselves, how could they save others? So of course they focused on investigation. ah."

 At this time, another eye-catching message worth 30 yuan passed by.

It said: Okay, stop thinking about it and serve the food quickly, okay? My takeaways are all here, and I'm just waiting to see how you suffer and eat. Okay.

 When he saw the message, Zai Zong let out a sigh of relief and started playing the game honestly.

“But one thing to say, I originally thought that this line of tasks was just for players to experience how NPCs died. I didn’t expect that there was such a mission significance in it. This made me feel a heavy responsibility.”

“As expected of a task force belonging to the Control Bureau, good!”

 “It’s just a pity, knowing that they will die or disappear, ugh.”

 Zai Zong controlled the captain to move forward in channel 21.

There are more and more tree roots on the stone walls on both sides, and they are getting thicker and heavier.

Even the wooden planks originally laid on the ground were gradually covered by tree roots, so that the soldiers walking on them almost touched the top of the passage.

Soon, a faint cry for help came from the headset of the VR device.

When Mr. Zai heard this, he immediately became excited.

 “Coming, coming! Stop shouting! I’m coming!”

 The task force in the game also noticed this movement.

 The two at the front immediately raised one hand and made a gesture to signal to stop.

 Then, they raised their guns and aimed, using the light of tactical flashlights, they stepped forward cautiously.

Under the flashlight of Mr. Zai’s character, their figures were slowly swallowed up by the darkness and disappeared from sight.

 Obviously, the flashlight cannot illuminate very far.

 But this animation demonstration made Zai Zong feel at ease.

 “Not bad, really good, brothers, look at it, this is called a teammate.”

“When we encounter something unknown, we will go forward in groups to investigate, and let the others wait for support at the rear, instead of going up all at once, and we will not let me go up alone in order to highlight the scary atmosphere.”

“This kind of reliable NPC teammate is so good, it’s rare to see it in a horror game!”

Zong Zai said, and the team members' horror immediately came over the radio.

[Oh, God.]

[What exactly is this.]

As soon as Zai Zong saw it, he knew that the thing calling for help was definitely something special.

He immediately rushed forward, and soon, under the gradual illumination of the flashlight, the two teammates who had previously explored the path came back into view.

Immediately afterwards, on the ground of tree roots not far ahead, a bunch of workers, at least twenty people, were lying in random directions on the ground. They just fell upright on the passage. The scene was crowded and crowded.

Their clothes were shabby and dirty, and each of them was lying silently on the ground. They were obviously cold corpses, and there was no sign of anyone using the radio to call for help.

 Or maybe there is someone else calling for help?

[Oh my God, it’s really a construction team. Why did they die here? ]

　　[But it’s impossible! The construction team had previously been transferred out for treatment! ]

  [Could it be someone who didn’t have time to evacuate? ]

  [No time to evacuate? Let’s see if we encountered any obstacles or forks in the road along the way? We didn't even use a bullet. As the construction team, they knew the structure of Channel 21. What prevented them from evacuating this safe and smooth road? ]

  [1231518202527There are 27 corpses. It seems that something terrible happened here. ]

  [Could it be that something attacked them and prevented this group of people from leaving? ]

  [Then why is there no blood? These corpses were intact and had no fatal injuries. If they had been attacked, there should be a strong smell of blood here. ]

Faced with this situation, C-1, as the captain, did not participate in the discussions among the team members, but directly contacted the command center.

 The game also entered real-time calculations at this moment.

 In the picture, two team members stepped forward and began to check the condition of the body.

 The captain spoke seriously.

  [Command Center, I am the C-1 captain. Please answer if you hear this. ]

  [Received by the command center, Team C of Zeta-9 ‘Mole’ please report the situation. ]

 [Command Center, our team has found the remaining construction team members in Channel 21. They have died. The cause of death is unknown.]

The captain paused for a moment, and the team member who was looking at the corpse in front seemed to understand the meaning and shook his head towards the captain.

 The captain understood the situation and returned immediately.

  [No injuries found on the body yet, we will check carefully to see if there are any survivors, then]

 The captain's words were interrupted at this moment.

  [Captain of Team C, what did you just say? What did you say you found? ]

 On the radio, there was no longer a female voice, but a rich and majestic male voice.

　　Under his rhetorical question, C-1, the captain, paused and then answered.

  [Captain, we found the bodies of the remaining workers of the construction team, they are dead]

[Captain of Team C, there are 27 people in the construction team of Channel 21. All of them were sent to the hospital. The documents I have here are 27, no more, no less. Where did the remaining workers come from? What exactly did you find? ]

 At this moment, both Mr. Zai and the captain were stunned.

 Because a team member had counted the corpses before, and it happened to be 27.

That.

  [We did find people from the construction team, and the number was the same as the document, 27. Captain, we will carefully examine the condition of these bodies. ]

ˆˆ[]

I understand. I have also arranged for people to go to the hospital to inquire about the workers. This should be some kind of abnormality that caused you to see the bodies of the rescued people. Anyway, be careful, that's it. ]

  [Understand, finished. ]

With real-time calculations, the captain interrupted the radio contact and signaled the team members to carefully examine the body.

One of the team members took the order and quickly took off the work clothes of a corpse, exposing the dirty skin.

 The team then began to check for fatal injuries.

 But at this moment, a horrifying scene happened.

The upper body of the corpse suddenly split open from the neck down, revealing jagged fangs like a mouth, and bit the soldier's hands alive with lightning speed.

 Blood suddenly shot out.

 Screaming and then howling.

 Everyone, including Mr. Zai, was shocked by this sudden scene.

The task force soldier also fell powerlessly on the pile of corpses, bleeding continuously. He raised his arms without palms and howled in pain, rolling in pain.

But because of the gas mask, the voice was dull and hysterical.

 But the horror is yet to come.

The corpse with its upper body cracked stood up tremblingly, with the left and right halves of its body tightly attached to each other, chewing on the soldier's palm.

As the monster stood up, the other corpses that were originally lying on the ground also stood up.

Their upper bodies cracked open one after another, dark red blood oozing out, revealing what was behind them.

 The edge of the crack is full of jagged edges, which is frightening.

 Those heads, some are dangling on the left side, and some are hanging down on the right side.

 There are no organs and bones in its body, and what is left is just a slender red tongue sticking out from it.

 The upper bodies of these corpses have become mouths!

 After splitting, you can even see what’s behind.

 Zi Zong called out their names immediately.

 “Damn it, it’s a Split-Head Monster!” (End of Chapter)
