On killing the protagonist

When he saw Ye Hanjiang running away without looking back, Zhang Li wondered: "Don't be in such a hurry, right? Most of the lizards outside the factory area have been lured away by us, and there are only three or two kittens left there. , there will be no problem."

The only answer to him was Ye Hanjiang's receding back. Gu Qinuo and Ye Qiu chased after him without saying a word, but Zhang Li, who originally wanted to stay and watch the show, had no choice but to follow in resentment.

After walking for less than 2 minutes, Zhang Li realized that something was wrong. Because of this, Ye Hanjiang didn't look like he was rushing back to save people at all. After leaving the encirclement, he kept urging others to speed up. It looked like he was trying to get rid of something behind him.

Zhang Li looked back and found that the lizards were not chasing him. He asked curiously, "What are you hiding? Is there something wrong with those lizards?"

Under his questioning, Ye Hanjiang finally stopped. Instead of answering Zhang Li's question, he called others to climb the tree quickly, with a trace of sadness on his face.

The jungle at night seemed extraordinarily quiet. Suddenly, a shrill roar broke the calm, followed by successive roars.

"What's going on?" Ye Qiu looked towards the clearing in surprise. Judging from the roar, it seemed that the place was in an extremely chaotic state.

Zhang Li had climbed to the highest position as early as the first roar, and the sound like a trumpet sounded one after another in the dark night. Countless lizards came from all directions in the dense forest, and the scope of sight of the binoculars in his hand was all these demons.

"Gudong!"

Zhang Li swallowed nervously, and rustling sounds came from the dense forest behind him. He turned his head and saw countless black shadows moving through the jungle. very close.

Just when Zhang Li stood up and wanted to escape, one hand pressed his shoulder, Ye Hanjiang quietly lay on the tree trunk beside him, shook his head lightly at him, and then made a motionless motion. gesture.

Zhang Li was so anxious that he didn't run now. When those lizards approached, it was too late even if he wanted to run, but when he turned his head and saw the other two were also quietly crawling on the branches like Ye Hanjiang, he had to grit his teeth and close his eyes, waiting The arrival of those lizards.

When the first lizard jumped under the tree, Zhang Li was extremely nervous, he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of making any noise to attract the attention of these devils.

However, what he didn't expect was that the lizard jumped under the feet of the four people as if it didn't see them, then the second one, and the third one...

When the last lizard was out of sight, Zhang Li climbed up from the tree trunk, and complained in a daze, "Are these all blind people? Four big living people are lying here, and they don't even look at it." of?"

Ye Hanjiang stood on the top of the tree, looked back into the depths of the jungle and sighed: "It's about to start."

The three of them looked along his line of sight, over there - it was the encirclement they led the lizard to before.

Without hesitation, the rest of the people took out their binoculars and looked at the hunting ground in unison. What immediately appeared in front of them made the three tough men feel shuddering.

I saw countless lizards caught in a melee around the open space of the hunting ground, and they frantically attacked the same kind beside them.

The sharp claws cut through the thick skin and penetrated into the bright red flesh. The fangs bit the other party's neck mercilessly. The ground was full of lizard limbs and arms. At the edge of the open space, several lizards were Grab the bones of those dead lizards.

All the big trees around the clearing were leveled by them, and the sounds of wailing, roaring, threats... mixed together resounded through the entire dense forest.

Zhang Li saw that the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his voice trembled: "God, what are they doing?"

Only Ye Qiu, who had already guessed in his heart, asked tremblingly: "Xiao Jiu, what is in that glass bottle?"

Ye Hanjiang raised his head, and he replied softly, "It's Beast Yin."

"Beast Yin?" The three said in unison: "What is that?"

Ye Hanjiang clenched his fists, and replied seemingly calmly: "You should know that most insects and animals rely on pheromones to survive. exhibit certain behaviors."

He looked at the full moon in the sky: "I have observed that as soon as the monitor lizard died, the porter lizards rushed out immediately, which means that they have captured a message and know that this big guy has become their meal. , and the liquid I found in the monitor lizard's skull should be the thing that sends out this signal."

Zhang Li looked suspicious, hesitantly said: "Is it so mysterious?"

Ye Hanjiang nodded with certainty: "When lizards capture this pheromone, they will mistakenly think that there are monitor lizards dead, and they will quickly appear in the place where the pheromone appears, attacking people, animals, and even animals that are stained with this liquid. similar."

Ye Qiu was puzzled and said, "Don't those lizards have eyes? When you go to a place and see that there are no monitor lizard corpses, don't you understand everything?"

The person who was asked pondered for a while, and then said: "This involves the issue of authority, um, for example, if a five-year-old child has a strange uncle and his mother who has raised him for five years, pointing at the A ball, the uncle said it was called volleyball, and his mother said it was called football. Tell me, who does this child trust more in normal theory?"

Ye Qiu immediately replied, "Trust his mother."

"That's right, because the child's entire growth process is accompanied by his mother. For him, the mother's trustworthiness is much higher than that strange uncle. Let's put it another way, that is, his mother's authority is higher than that strange uncle. Uncle."

Ye Hanjiang added: "In terms of the hundreds of millions of years of biological evolution, the authority provided by pheromones is far higher than the information authority obtained by the five sense organs, and the lower the animals, the more obvious their dependence on pheromones. This kind of The authority is inversely proportional to the function of the organ evolved by the organism, the simpler and more direct the authority, the higher the position."

As he spoke, he pointed to himself and the other three people in front of him: "Even the advanced and rational life forms that have evolved to us humans are also affected by pheromones and other imperceptible permissions. We call it intuition, or intuition." —sixth sense.”

Gu Qinuo probably understood what he meant: "You mean, those little lizards mistakenly think that the same kind stained with monitor lizard death pheromone are monitor lizards, so they attack them so frantically?"

"Hmm!" After Ye Hanjiang explained the truth about the lizards killing each other, he said to the three of them: "According to the current situation, there may be a big battle in the dense forest tonight. We'd better leave here now, lest we get caught in the fire."

The three of them looked at each other, then immediately turned and set off towards the factory area.

At this time, there were only a few unknown beasts patrolling in the open space outside the factory area, and when they saw strangers, they quickly ran away.

The painted gate outside the factory building was blocked by Wanke and the others. The four of Ye Hanjiang yelled outside the factory building for a long time, but there was no response inside the house. In desperation, the four had no choice but to turn to the side and climb in through the two-meter-high window.

"Who?" When the sound of landing was heard, a sharp shout suddenly came from a corner of the factory building.

When he heard the voice came from a woman, Zhang Li called out tentatively: "Lu Rui?"

A head was cautiously poked out from the pile of debris in the corner. At first, it only had a pair of eyes. When it was confirmed that the person who came was Ye Hanjiang and the others, a face full of surprise appeared: "Is it you?"

That person was Lu Rui. She pushed down the boxes piled up in front of her, revealing what was inside.

What surprised Ye Hanjiang and the others was that there were only Lu Rui and the seriously injured Wan Ke in the corner at this time, but all the others disappeared.

Lu Rui was in a panic at the moment, her long red dress was covered with mud, her hair was disheveled and her face was dirty, while Wan Ke was lying in the corner with his eyes closed, with another serious injury on his shoulder.

"Why are you the only ones? What about Li Yi and the others?" Ye Qiu asked suspiciously.

When Ye Qiu mentioned Li Yi and the others, Lu Rui's face turned cold instantly, and a trace of sullenness flashed in her eyes: "Run away!"

"Run away?" Zhang Li was surprised: "Where did you run?"

"I don't know." Lu Rui replied angrily: "As soon as those lizards came around, they ran away with the child."

The four of Ye Hanjiang were a little astonished, no one thought that Li Yi and the others would be such greedy for life and afraid of death to betray their companions.

"Then you played the vocal bone before?" Ye Hanjiang asked.

Facing such an outstanding man as Ye Hanjiang, Lu Rui's face softened a lot after all, and she nodded and replied, "Wanke told me to blow it up. He said blowing it up can scare away those lizards. I didn't believe it at first, but then For a while, Li Yi and the others don't want to dislike Wanke's injury and burden, and don't want to take him with him. After blowing a few times, who knew those lizards would actually run away."

Ye Hanjiang and the others hesitated for a while, and decided not to tell her that the slamming bone almost caused a collapse before, and the lizards were actually lured away by them.

According to Ye Hanjiang, there will definitely be a big scuffle in the depths of the dense forest tonight, and they have arranged night watchmen as usual to prevent some lone lizards from suddenly attacking.

Everyone spent a sleepless night in the empty factory building, and the roaring and wailing did not subside until after six o'clock the next morning.

Wanke also woke up. During the encounter with the lizard yesterday, Luri protected him very well. It seemed that in order to thank Luri for saving his life, he went to the grass near the factory early in the morning to pick a lizard. There are a lot of wild flowers, and I want to give them to Lu Rui as a thank you gift.

When Wan Ke walked into the factory with a bouquet in his arms, a voice stopped him: "Wan Ke!"

As soon as he turned around, a figure rushed straight into his arms, before Wan Ke could react, he was embraced by the visitor.

Wan Ke was startled, and hurriedly raised his hands and shouted: "Who are you? What are you doing?"

Ye Hanjiang and the others ran out when they heard the commotion, and were stunned when they saw such a scene.

The woman in Wan Ke's arms raised her head, with tears still in her eyes, she wiped the tears from her face indiscriminately, and wept with joy: "That's great, I thought something happened to you."

When they saw the woman's face clearly, everyone present frowned. This person was none other than Li Yi who Lu Rui said had left them and ran away yesterday.

Not far behind her, Bian Qing pulled Xiaojie to come up, and said with a look of luck: "You are too bold, you dare to rush out alone as a bait, but luckily nothing happened, if there is something wrong If there are three good and two short, Li Yi will cry to death."

All the people present were at a loss when they heard her words. According to them, Wan Ke seemed to have volunteered to go out as a bait, and they didn't know who to believe for a while.

Wan Ke hastily pushed Li Yi away from his embrace, and when he saw that she was about to move closer, he immediately said as if facing a formidable enemy: "Stop! Ma'am, we don't seem to know each other very well, do we? What is the system?"

Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at him as if he was looking at a scumbag: "What nonsense are you talking about? What are you not familiar with?"

And what she said next made everyone froze in place.

"I'm your girlfriend!"
