Chapter 126 – Group of corpses
Shirley Yang has always attached great importance to team spirit, and always believes that a group of three people should be frank and open about everything. Seeing me and Fatty muttering in low voices, she asked me, “What did you two say just now?”
I was most afraid of being Shirley Yang asked, I had to repeat the trick, from the backpack took out the “Chicago typewriter”, handed to Shirley Yang said: “the road ahead of the fear of danger, I’m this sub-machine gun to you to make, if you encounter anything untoward, you don’t hesitate to pull the trigger just shoot! That is.”
Shirley Yang did not receive, took out the six-four to me, “This pistol is enough for self-defense, I vote for the Democratic Party, so I do not quite believe in the gun, I think that weapons sometimes can not solve all the problems, the M1A1 is still in the hands of you and the fat man in order to play a relatively large role.”
Fatty impatient, even urged me and Shirley Yang to move faster, so we hurriedly took out the gas mask, including some things used to deal with zombies, as well as from the jade coffin found in the gold masks and other rituals, are loaded into the carry bag, by the fat man to the rest of the equipment are backed, in accordance with the fossilized altar of the topography, looking for the direction of the exit of the gourd cave, due to the terrain, this time it was No longer armed swim across, a lot of collapsed ancient fossilized trees, some connected to a piece, although some occasional gaps in the middle, but can be crossed, so do not have to worry about being underwater female zombies of the secret attack.
Compass as a guide, straight out of the west more than a hundred meters, around the red stone wall steeply closed, if we are in the cave, really a horizontal inversion of the shape of the gourd, then now we have come to the gourd in the middle of the interface position, all of which are with the fossil altar of those ancient razor mill painting records exactly the same.
Here by the above extended down a variety of coarse plant roots gradually scarce, the air is no longer to the previous so hot and humid, along the warped red rock wall search, natural formation of the two red caverns, the middle part of the interface has been in front of the eyes, just here the rock wall is also all red wu sheng rock layer, is the remnants of the Cambrian period, are like a mirror like slippery, the last distance of more than a dozen meters, there is no fossilized ancient trees can be Landing, we had to wade, with a mountaineering pick hard chiseling into the slippery rock wall, three people pulling each other, climbed up to the middle of the gourd hole in the joint.
Groundwater level, just cut to the bottom of this narrow hole, as if the gourd hole is a twenty-five-degree angle downward horizontal tilt, the groundwater flow through the past, resulting in a horizontal difference, flowing down the rock wall there, forming a water flow is not very large waterfalls, I grasped the mouth of the hole, with the “wolf’s eye” flashlight I looked down, the slope is very steep, and is curved, the depth below is much deeper than I expected, can not see the bottom, want to go down, it is not so easy, the most secure way is to use the rock wedge fixed to the mouth of the cave, and then drop the rope, use the safety bolt to descend, with this pre-set rope, the return trip can also save some trouble.
I asked Fatty to install the rock wedge and climbing rope, Fatty asked: “Old Hu, is there really a thousand year old zombie’s corpse poison in this cave? Will the black ass hooves work? We’ve never tested it before, what if it doesn’t work?”
I said to Fatty, “How many of us have never encountered zombies in ancient tombs? Maybe we are even that few, never met more than three people with zombies, as for the black donkey hooves can restrain zombies, we are also hearsay, but since it is the generations of predecessors passed down the means, it should be more reliable, really can not be, we are not the old U.S. M1A1 it, so there is no need to worry.”
Zombie I really have never seen with their own eyes, but heard a lot, I remember my grandfather talked about his youth by the zombie essence of the heart and liver of the matter, thanks to his master, did not turn into a walking corpse, there is that Shaanxi hometown Li Chunlai, talking about the drought drought in their villages, those are supposed to be zombies, it is clear that this kind of thing is really there, think of the years when I was in the savage gully and fat man in the first time inverted, dealing with the body of the demon of the time. Black donkey hooves and glutinous rice and other things, as if it did not play any role, although the zombie and zombie is not the same thing, but after all, they are all ancient corpses, so I black donkey hooves can restrain zombie legend, always have reservations.
All fixed rock wedge and installation of climbing rope interval, I asked Shirley Yang, her family ancestor out of a lot of inverted master, inverted a lot of big tomb, must not have encountered a lot of zombies, this black donkey hooves in the end whether it is useful? If it works, what principle does it use to restrain zombies?
Shirley Yang said to me: “I can make a bet with you, the cave of the mountain gods will not be a zombie, the reason I have just said, even if the barbarians, will not be the corpse as the gods of the mountains and rivers to be worshipped, this custom of China’s ethnic minorities do not have, no other countries, as for the black donkey hooves to subdue the zombie, which is true, which the principle of the rumors that have been passed down a lot, there are strong Down a lot of claims, have a strong mystical color, I think it should be black donkey hooves have some kind of source of material, and zombie bioelectricity produced in the body of the hedge, black donkey hooves into the zombie’s mouth, as in the zombie’s mouth with a shield, maybe you have some other items instead of can, but this is just my personal opinion. The old legend, water can carry the boat, can also cover the boat, black donkey hooves will sometimes produce the opposite effect, if there is no necrophilia of the corpse, contact with the black donkey hooves, but will inspire it to accelerate the change, which I do not know whether it is true or not.”
After I heard this, I felt a little relieved, now this cave entrance, is the year the barbarians with a long pole will be big toad hanging into the place, but here it seems, inside the quiet black, like a still dark world, seems to have no signs of life, and we just passed through the area is completely different from the previous section of the cave there are a large number of plants, insects, and fish, frogs singing earthworms blowing, flying insects vibrate wings The previous section of the cave was full of plants, insects, and fish, frogs, earthworms, and flying insects vibrating their wings, and the water dripping into the river was full of the sounds of nature, and the gourd holes at the two ends of the cave were only separated by a five or six-meter-long interface, but it was like the two extremes of the world of the dead and the yin and the yang, and if there was really an old zombie that had become a sperm, and the thousands of years of stagnant corpse venom could be the cause of the lack of life here.
At this time the fat man has the climbing rope ready, reach out and pull, strong enough to start the action, I first threw a cold fireworks down, see the height, then put on a gas mask, back on the M1A1, along with the climbing rope put down from the smooth red stone wall slipped down.
Cave entrance under this concave arc-shaped rock wall, after repeated scouring of groundwater, slippery exception, can not stand on the ground, can only control the climbing rope to slow down the speed of the descent, descending about ten meters before the end of the feet, is a large area of wet stacked rock, both sides are groundwater.
I raised my head to look upward, in the darkness can only see high fat man and Shirley Yang two helmet on the tactical spotlight, the rest can not be seen, I made a signal, told them that the lower side of the safety, can come down.
Shirley Yang and Fatty received the signal, successively with the mountaineering rope slid down, Fatty asked me as soon as he came down: “Have you seen any zombies?”
I said to the fat man: “Why are you still looking forward to encountering dumplings? Don’t say this kind of taboo words in the future, in case that old zombie can’t help people chanting, suddenly run out how to do.”
Shirley Yang to me and the fat man made a silent gesture, and then to the six-four pistol bullets loaded, a look around the environment, said in a low voice: “Now it seems that everything is normal, we do not delay, straight to the mouth of the gourd, the atmosphere here is not quite right, although the God of the mountains may not be true, that underwater zombies are really true, I do not know what way they are attacking human beings, we walk around, we do not know what way they are, we walk around. We don’t know in what way they are attacking humans, when we walk around, we must be careful of the movements in the water.”
At that moment, the three of us, each armed, left the middle of the deep water, and groped our way through the darkness from the edge of the circular cave, this last section of the gourd cave is deep underground, the water in the center of the cave is extremely deep and dead, there are countless inverted red stalagmites on the dome, and on the two sides there are superimposed rock formations protruding from the water, which can be used for people to walk on, and all of these red stones are seeped into a translucent color, and the light of the tactical The light from the spotlights shone on them, flooding them with faint reflections.
Occasionally, some tiny plankton can be seen on the surface of the water, and no signs of toxicity can be seen, I can’t help but feel a little glad, it seems that we made the right choice, after thousands of years, I’m afraid that the things that used to use this place as a nesting place have long since disappeared.
From the cave above down, walked less than dozens of meters, suddenly found the front of the water appeared a cold and dim white light, I hurriedly waved my hand, three people immediately all hide to the back of the mountain rocks lurking up, closed the body of all light sources, in the darkness watching the ghostly fire like a clear cold as fog light.
The flickering mass of light in the water, from far and near, I see through the gas mask is not very clear, it seems to be a “dead drift”, finally appeared, I used the smallest voice on the side of the fat man said: “I see that the water in the female body does not seem to find us, you first aim, give it a shot, then we’ll take advantage of the chaos and rush over to dismantle her.”
Fatty on the shooting thing has never excused, the hands of the “Chicago typewriter” first put down, take off the back of the rifle, in a kneeling position, three-point aiming into a line, immediately to be shot, but see the water and appeared a number of floating corpses, some have already floated on the surface of the water, and some are still underwater, are on their backs face up, although floating in the water, but the arm and legs Although they were floating in the water, their arms and legs were bent downward, seemingly unaffected by the buoyancy of the water, and their postures were indescribably twisted, as if their joints had been broken.
The number of female corpses floating out of the water is more and more, even behind us, before and after less than a few minutes of time, I do not know where to come out of so many dead floating, the water is full of all the dead, I can’t count exactly how many thousands of hundreds, the group of corpses sent out a large number of ghostly white light, the original darkness of the cave by those ghosts reflecting the light up, but this bright light makes a person feel as if falling into the cold ice hell, can not help but The whole body trembled.
