Chapter 46 Zombie
At this point in the four-person team, only the old sheepskin left in the hands of the only torch lighting, he held up the torch in the middle, I found that the old sheepskin than before a lot of spirit, may not be because he ate fish eat too much, I think he was incinerated in the middle of the shot to save Ding Sistern, this thing is just between a hand and a hand, in exchange for the fat man and I opened this shot will not even blink, but for the old sheepskin, that is equal to his victory over himself, but also to unlock that dead knot in his heart. Unraveled the knot in his heart, that year is because of his momentary cowardice, did not go to save his brother, I’m afraid that these years are living in the shadow of that incident.
I think about the old sheepskin, and think about the incinerator near the abnormal situation, while deep and shallow followed the crowd forward, inadvertently glanced at the wall, the fat man carrying the KangXi long knife walking in the forefront, and then the old sheepskin lighting fire, followed by DingShiShuang, I walk in the last, four people in a line, walking very tight, because as the gutter of the concrete pipe is very narrow, so the light of the fire appears to be more than in the basement, so the light of the fire is more than in the basement, so the light of the fire is more than in the basement. So the firelight appeared much brighter than in the basement, our figures were clearly reflected on the curved cement wall, as the four of us walked and swayed, the silhouettes on the wall swayed and undulated along with us, but I realized that there were not only four figures on the cement wall, and I don’t know when, but there was also an additional dark shadow behind me.
The shadow of silence behind us, just at the edge of the range of firelight, with the old sheepskin walking, the torch was driven by the air flow of light and dark, the last black shadow is also shadowed at times, I feel numbness of the scalp, and I thought it was not good, afraid of what will come, this is the incineration of the ghost in the room of the spirit of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the ghost of the incineration of the incinerator followed, I do not dare to say anything, slightly slower footsteps, side-ear hearing behind the I didn’t dare to make a sound, I slowed down my pace a little, and listened to the sound behind me, but there was no sound behind me, except for a chill that penetrated my heart and lungs.
I found more than a shadow on the wall of the concrete pipe, thinking that this can really be called broken pants wrapped around the leg, even the ghosts do not even follow here, but listening to the movement behind us, but no sound, as if behind the four of us, in addition to more than a ghost shadow, there is no existence of anything.
I did not dare to act rashly, the heart speculated that the intention of the ghost, it is clear that it can not directly to our death, what is the reason? It is likely that the old sheepskin of the Kangxi sword can really seclude the evil, after the battlefield has killed the weapon, itself will carry a three-pointed ferocious, the more people killed, the heavier the blade of the fury, although the Kangxi Emperor’s Royal Palace, may not be on the battlefield to kill, but the Royal forbidden things are not ordinary, the ghost may be some fear of this knife, which is indirectly on our hands.
These thoughts in my mind a flash, feet but did not stop, only to see the old sheepskin hand torch is about to burn out, if not take advantage of the time to see the light, and then drag on for us will be more unfavorable, my heart, although fear, but had to turn back to see clearly, not completely get rid of the undead of this incineration of the entanglement, I’m afraid that we will not escape.
I was surprised, turned around, thought I could see something, and then called the fat man to draw the knife to drive away the ghosts, but unexpectedly it was empty, in front of me there is only a long dark drain, not to mention the ghosts, not even a tide worm, cockroaches and other bugs, the shadows on the wall almost disappeared in the moment I turned around, leaving only the stench of the darkness of the air.
I looked into the depths of the drainpipe, my heart thumped, I could feel that in the unseen darkness, there were indeed a pair of venomous eyes, looking over there, I felt goosebumps all over my body, and a chill penetrated into my chest, but with the light of a torch, there was nothing we could do about it.
I am hesitating, the old sheepskin and other three people but I just suddenly turned around and jumped the movement was not light, also thought that behind them what happened, all stopped to look back, they see me staring straight at the drainage ditch of the black froze, also thought that I was in the incineration room of the shock, and hastily pulled me to ask the end of the.
I thought to myself: “If I said that I had just found a ghost following us, wouldn’t it scare the snakes? It would be better not to say anything for the time being, and just act as the opportunity arises.” I only said to the crowd, “After walking in this stinky ditch for a long time and not seeing an exit, I couldn’t help but feel a little worried, so I stopped to check the terrain.”
Ding Sishen comforted me and said, “This drainage pipe is long and deep, I think there should be many building facilities on the ground besides the three-story building that hides the incinerator, in that case, there will always be other waterways connected to this, and the sewage will all converge to one place in the end, let’s just keep walking, and sooner or later, we’ll see the exit.”
I nodded yes, stick to the end is victory, from the morning to start looking for cattle, until now has passed midnight, this day is really a long and difficult life, but can not find the exit, not to slack time, but also to raise the vigilance to continue to move forward, so I let the old sheepskin replaced a new torch on, and asked the fat man to KangXi sword, four people continue to move forward, I still break the back, at any time and any place to keep an eye on With the movement behind us, but this way down, but no longer appear what strange.
Torch consumption speed beyond our expectations, and then not from the stinking ditch climb out, once no light, there is no hope of leaving here, we had to accelerate the movement of the footsteps, I can not imagine out of a short distance, I saw in the road was filled with concrete pipe wall a few meters in front of the fence, was an iron fence blocked, iron fence at the bottom of the big lock lock, a group of locking chain half-fall in the water, the iron bars are eggs thick and thin, where the head of the top of a rectangle covered with drainage holes, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence, the iron fence. Rectangular iron cover covered with drainage holes, but too narrow to drill out, coupled with the lock from the top, it is impossible to push open from the bottom, see this situation, we immediately cooled half of our hearts, this time it’s over, there is no way to go in front.
The old sheepskin squatted down in the iron grille under the black water and touched, suddenly happy: “do not worry, my knife is the imperial treasure knife, so many years, the steel mouth is still so sharp, although the iron bar cut constantly, but the lock buckled that section of the chain immersed in the muddy water, has been rusted to discoloration, with a knife to cut off and what is so difficult?”
I heard a heartbeat, but also to examine the chain locked by the lock, the iron fence on the position of the lock, only in the outer side of a movable iron chain, may be temporarily installed at the time of the chain, so slipped in the bottom, plunged into the muddy water of a section of the chain has rusted through, and the chain is also a lot thinner than the iron fence, the KangXi sword imitation Mongolia long knife form, is a back thick edge heavy horse battle weapon, although can not cut the iron as mud, but chopping Open rusty chains, it is not difficult, quickly let the fat man and Ding Sishen hold the chain, see the draw knife chopping, finger-thick rusty chains and break, and then look at the blade, not half a point of the chipping.
The people praise the knife fast, push away the iron grille, a few steps away in front, there is a cross passage, one side is too narrow, the other two sides have a drainable iron gate, but on our side can be opened, it seems that this is already part of another different area, open the largest of the iron gate, I did not rush in, remembered that not long ago, was locked in the incineration of the room in the sky, no way to get into the door. Feelings, so far, people are afraid, fortunately, there is an incinerator rather than prison, otherwise even if there is a drain is certainly not drilled into the people, learn from the mistakes, long wisdom, this time at the door will be the gate switch destruction, in case the front can not get out, but also not to the end of the way back.
We repeatedly confirmed several times absolutely will not be locked back, this step into the interior, but the next is still the network of intertwined pipes do not see the end of the stink of the ditch, we feel that the drainage pipe long without a head, in fact, is likely to be a kind of illusion, due to the environment of the putrid smell of the narrow and long, the body is exhausted, and walk up and extraordinarily slow, so that this feeling, in the line out of a certain distance, the pipeline on both sides finally began to appear! After traveling for some distance, some more narrow branch drainpipes finally began to appear on both sides of the pipe, but the diameter of these drainpipes, are no more than the size of a basketball, only rats and swineherds can drill into, there are also a few places are some narrow long room-shaped water drain, also can not be drilled, outside the pipeline is all dark, can not see what place, I think that not all the area, are equipped with incineration room so big drainage cover.
I walked at the end of the team, the changes in the terrain of the sewers did not pay much attention to these to Ding Sistern and others will be enough, I focused on the back to prevent untoward events, this time the front of the Ding Sistern suddenly stopped, I was unprepared, almost hit her, fixed attention to look, the original front of the fat man and the old sheepskin have been stopped, I was about to ask what happened to them, but by means of the team’s torchlight, it has been found that indeed, it is not the case. I was about to ask them what happened, but by the light of the team’s torches, I realized that there was a reason.
In front of the fat man is very close to the cement pipe wall, there is a black circle, almost the diameter of the mouth of a water tank size, the shape of its ring line week in and out, not regular, in the firelight under the gray-white cement wall there is such a black circle, especially conspicuous, the firelight flickering in the dark, only to see that the cement wall of the black circle seems to be slightly writhing, the fat man saw at a glance, thought it was a black water snake! Curled up on the wall, and then stopped.
I thought to myself that it is not easy to say whether there are any black water snakes, not to mention how can a water snake coil into a circle and post it on the wall? Even if the snake is so long, it will not be so thin, it is even more unlikely that there is mud earth, but it is not that we are wrong, the black ring on the wall is not a silt smear marks, indeed in the ability to move, although the amplitude of the movement is extremely small, if you do not look at it carefully may be ignored, it will be assumed that it is just a black mud smeared with the ring-shaped markings.
This black circle attracted our attention, to see clearly is never coiled into a circle of water snake centipede, four people approached two steps, to the wall carefully measured, can not help but the whole body shook, feel the scalp are at first glance up, the concrete wall has a circle of cracks, which climbed out of crawling into all the cockroaches, small than sesame seed grains is not much big, are just grown into a small cockroach, this ring-shaped cracks are used as their nest, just around the This ring-shaped crack was used by them as a nest, just around a circle, in the dim light of the fire, if you are a little farther away, you will definitely think that there is a writhing black ring on the wall.
Dingsi sweet look disgusted, want to leave immediately, continue to move forward to look for the exit, I pulled her said: “underground waterway with the labyrinth is similar, we can not even recognize the direction of the torch is also almost used up, and then go on where is the end, this wall of the ring-shaped crevice is so Wooden, maybe it is a dark road.”
Fatty also said, “It must be so, with the ass can think out, how can it be so easy to have such a regular shaped gap on a concrete pipe.” He has long been in the stinking gutter to stay suffocated, said no longer carefully observe, raised his foot, according to the middle of the cement ring-shaped cracks, one after another hard kick, shocked the gap in the countless small cockroaches have fled.
This piece of cement wall is not too big, the ring-shaped crack was cut from the inside, so not too tight inside the joints crawling with cockroaches, the cement block was kicked by the fat man off, the size of the cockroaches scurrying all over the wall, the old sheepskin hurriedly waved the torch to drive them far away, after the cement is a low tunnel dug by human power, the internal height of the undulation is very irregular, only with the knees and bowed up to waste effort to climb in, I was curious, want to exhaust the tunnel, and I was very curious. Curiosity, want to poor its secret, so received the torch drilled in to explore, this tunnel is only seven or eight meters long, the end of the upward there is a brick covered exit, upward push can be uncovered, I looked out, the exit is in a room under the beds, the house miscellaneous placed a lot of things.
Ding Si sweet and others in the back to greet me quickly out, I was afraid that she was worried, did not have to look carefully, had to crawl backward out of the tunnel, the situation of what they saw on the crowd said, in the stinking ditch walked for many hours, everyone feels suffocated nausea, are almost smoked to death, both there is a channel into a house, do not prevent the first to go in and take a breath of fresh air, and it seems to be many applications of that room, may find food and lighting tools, and then a few more points to live, and then the room, the room, and then the room. Then there will be a few more points of hope to live.
At that moment, everyone agreed, threw is the first I climbed in, at first, I thought this is a prison cell, and this sewer in the gap, is being held inside the people escape with, but in that bed from the bottom of me to explore the exit to look at the time, on the negation of their own judgments, the prison cell will never be so, I uncovered over the top of the floor tiles and beds, the rest of the three one by one to pull will come up, the crowd raised the fire look around, are very surprised, although this is a place of the world. Feel very surprised, although this is a basement, but apparently equipped with perfect ventilation holes, air circulation, completely without the feeling of people’s chest stuffy, the room is a typical European style layout, there is even a decorative fireplace, although in the bucket room, but people have a kind of in an exotic illusion, where all the necessities of life, the walls are full of books bookshelves, but the circuit has long been cut off, the electric lights have not been able to The electric circuit has long been broken, and the lights can no longer be used.
Dingsi sweet see the house with a decorative candlestick, above also inserted a few intact candles, went over and picked up the torch on the fire, and then held up the candlestick curiously looking around, unknowingly into the outhouse, the fat man saw a few bottles of foreign wine on the shelves, just as the thirst is unbearable, copied up on the irrigation of a few mouths, the old sheepskin is more unseen, do not know the fat man to drink something is what, to me to ask that the glass bottles are filled with what? What is in the glass bottle?
I just want to answer, but heard has gone to the outside of the house Ding Sisian a cry of alarm, we three heard the sound of rush to grab step over to meet, Ding Sisian see us rushed to, hurriedly hiding behind me in fear, we do not have to ask also know that she is to see what can be shocked horrible things, took over the candlestick to this room in a light, but also was startled.
Fatty mouth is still half a mouth of foreign wine did not have time to swallow, then poof a mouthful of wine all sprayed out: “How is this a dead monkey?” The old sheepskin trembled and said, “Bean child can not talk nonsense, where is this a monkey, my Shaanxi home side of the deserted graves in the most of this kind of thing, this is …… is …… is is is is is … …” He was also panicked at this time, and at the end of his words, he could not say “yes”.
I saw the wooden chair in the outhouse sitting up a tall male corpse, the body wearing a robe, the body of water, has become a zombie, purple withered skin on a layer of bird feathers like white hair, the lower half of the body is born animal hair, curly sharp nails grow constantly, has been curved, the five features hideous, open a mouth death, because people die after the body hair breeding, the appearance of the people have been unrecognizable.
I said for the old sheepskin: “is a zombie, who don’t touch it, the living people don’t touch it it can’t at first corpse.” Fatty does not believe: “How do you know is a zombie? Do you touch it will be able to jump up? And nonsense want to scare me is not it?”
I only pay attention to this strange corpse in front of me, the words of the fat man turned a deaf ear, I have never seen a zombie with my own eyes, but it is said that this is the appearance of the candlelight I see that zombie in front of the desk, there are a few filled with the words of the yellowish paper, maybe those papers are the dead body dying wrote, may be helpful for us to escape from this place, in my candlestick to the fat man, so that he held up the illumination, I cover my mouth and nose and cautiously I covered my nose and mouth and carefully walked in front of the corpse, reached out and picked up the pieces of paper, and then hurriedly backed away.
I let the fat man and the old sheepskin stared at the dead body and the candle, once there is any movement, quickly returned to the sewer, and then lifted up the yellowed pages of paper to see, it is densely packed with all the Russian, my level of Russian is really too low, so I had to let Dinsi sweet look at the writing of what, whether there is valuable information inside?
Dinsi sweet quickly flipped through a few pages, casually translated a few sentences to us, the more I listen to the more thrilling, it is a Russian scientist under house arrest by the Japanese, forced to participate in this secret facility in an action, these letters are his life before the suicide note, the suicide note mentioned many unimaginable facts, the Japanese army from the 100-eye cave, dug out some extraordinary things.
Dinsi sweet Russian a long time did not pick up over, temporary clasp inevitably rusty, read this letter to slightly more strenuous, I let her not be anxious, sitting in the room slowly look, have a brow and then tell me the details of the content, and then I discussed with the fat and the old sheepskin trio, this zombie after death is too strange, leaving it must be a problem, we want to rest here for the time being, guarding a dead person is also fearful of the difficulty of Peace of mind, simply do not do it, do not rest, first of all, to dispose of the body.
