chapter 48 – a russian parcel

I touched the table in front of me in the darkness, some hard and dry things, with a gentle twist of the hand, twisted off a layer of like soot like crumbs, from the fingers of the sense of judgment, those crushed foam inside the hard stick of dead people’s bones, touching the dead people’s bones is not much, but I clearly remembered that the Russian zombie, dragged to the sewer burned into charcoal in general, the skin and flesh and fur into the black carbon, there are bones left! I couldn’t burn it, who brought the remains of the corpse to the table?

I was horrified, I had no time to think about it, it was pitch black, there should be matches and six candlesticks on the table that we found in the room earlier, I wanted to touch these things on the light in order to have a clear look, I reached forward and touched it, but it wasn’t matches, it was a hard and rounded surface, there were also a lot of holes in one of the things, and carefully touched it, it turned out to be a dead person’s skull, and I just pressed my finger into the eye sockets of the skull, and then I saw it. My thumb just pressed into the eye sockets of the skull, my hand shook and hurriedly threw it onto the table.

At this time in the skull fell on the desktop issued a light sound position, from the darkness suddenly emerged two groups of green ghost fire, my whole body shook, feel the body as a nightmare like frozen in place, the mind is completely taken by the ghost fire, the whole person is like being hollowed out like, only sound under the walking corpse like a shell, can not breathe and can not think, I did not believe that the soul of a person, but this time really experience the soul out of the shell in the end what is the feeling of the soul out of the shell, the soul out of the shell? I don’t believe that people have souls, but this time I really experienced what it is like to have a soul out of a shell.

At the time of this soul is not attached to the body, the arms suddenly shook, the blade of the KangXi sword in the sheath trembling chirping, sharp buzzing sound vibration air, the two ghostly eyes then quietly retreat, I seem to be released from the nightmare, “ah” screamed out, a bright light in front of my eyes, only to see themselves sitting upright in a chair, the table in front of the candle burned only a small one. I saw myself sitting on a chair, the candle in front of the table was burning with only a small section left, not yet extinguished, and around the candle there were some leftover burnt bones scattered.

I was drenched in cold sweat, seems to have just had a nightmare, but the dream was so real, the remains of the Russian zombie on the table is clearly in sight, all this is obviously not a dream so simple, I looked around me, around the table rest of the remaining three companions also woke up, including the fat man, including the three people, all out of a cold sweat, pale face, needless to ask, they were just the same as my experience, were close to being hooked to the soul in the dream. They were all close to being seduced in their dreams, just as I was.

Ding Si sweet chest together with a volt said to us: “There is a sentence to say, you can not think that I am idealistic, this …… this house …… this house with the incineration of the room as really have ghosts, maybe that copper box is loaded with the undead’s nightmares?”

Ding Si sweet heart panic, wild guesses, but no one to refute her remarks, just now obviously want to temporarily sit down to rest for a moment, but the four ghosts fell asleep, but also surprisingly did the same nightmare, Russian zombie skeletons and inexplicably ran to the table, not to see ghosts only strange, but I think just now the bottom of my heart felt that the chilling déjà vu, realized that it is likely not that the Russians are haunted, most likely the incinerator in the Maybe the ghosts in the incinerator have been haunting us, I touched the long knife in my arms, thinking thanks to this knife to suppress, otherwise it would have been sent to life for no reason, these horrible things, is it related to the copper box mentioned in the suicide note? All the people in the institute seemed to have died or disappeared at the same time on a certain day more than twenty years ago, what actually happened here? The more we don’t know the truth, the more people feel unsure, we all think that we should not delay any longer, hurry to find out the map, and then quickly leave this place.

From the burning degree of the candle, we sleep this sleep can have four or five hours, although it is outside the plan, the mind is much clearer than before, I will be the Russian did not burn the remains of the cloth wrapped up, in the house to find a cabinet loaded into the idea that this Russian researcher is also poor, the Japanese are locked up early not to run late not to run, but to catch up with the accident to think of escaping, perhaps not too willing to die after! So I said to the cabinet: “People should live a great life, die an honorable death, did not do anything useful to the people in life, after death should be more peaceful, what you do is coerced, but also helpers, and finally ended up like this is the result of their own, can not blame the others, the sea of sins is boundless, do not turn back, although repentance and what is the meaning of it? Now that fascism has been completely extinguished, what you have in this room, we’ll be impolite and confiscate it on behalf of the people.”

By this time the remaining three had made a thorough search of the room, and finally found a pocket in the fireplace, which was evidently an old Russian carrying bag, made of canvas, in much the same style as that of the Miankouyo, with no zipper or clasp, and a drawstring at the mouth of the bag, which could be tightened by a single draw, and which had been in vogue for use in Russia since the first world war, and which was to be found in the north-eastern part of China, in Manchuria, and other places, before and after the second, where many of these pockets could be seen. Many of these pockets, it is a typical Russian style, simple, rough, bulky, wear-resistant.

The old sheepskin held a candle to illuminate, Ding Sistian and fat man to shake the bag open, one by one to check the things inside, found that the Russian’s pocket is simply like a treasure bag, bits and pieces of everything, look at the items he prepared, in addition to water bottles and field lunch boxes, there are even some money, may be ready to escape after making a living, there are also matches, windproof candles, several bottles of dozens of grains of Chemicals, this kind of chemicals in the field escape is a must, can detoxification and cleansing, combustion, as well as to do the luminous mark and so on, but we know the use but can not recognize the category of these chemicals, had to take them all together, these items are exactly what we need, Ting Si-Shiang will be separated out and put aside, do not want to be thrown to the table.

Then found two Japanese-style engineer lighting tube, this engineer lighting tube and our common flashlight is not the same, the shape of the flat four-square, the whole body is black, there are two cigarette box size, the front of the fist-sized lamp mouth is round, lying in the black iron box, the back of the place without handheld, but there is a fixed ring at the top of the use of the band can be taken to tie in the chest at will, for a variety of short-range lighting operation, the bag also has some matching dry batteries.

In addition is some food, when the Japanese army logistics supply primitive and backward, there is no large supply of field rations for the troops, but as some special units, enjoy the treatment is not the same as ordinary troops, such as the Navy and Air Force, as well as a number of special departments, the Russians are likely to get the help of that Japanese medical officer, stored some dehydrated dried fish, sugar cubes, canned goods and so on, I worry that the food is spoiled, so I tasted a little bit, and found that in the basement, I was not sure what to eat. So I tasted a bit of it and found that in the constant temperature environment of the basement, it was still edible until now, which might also be related to the special environment that made that Russian zombie preserved so far without rotting.

In the bag there is a tarpaulin wrapped “southern fourteen type” pistol, this gun is the Japanese arsenal by imitating the German Luger pistol, that is, the German Nazi officer’s gun production manufacturing, the gun body adopts the semi-automatic locking mechanism, the capacity of eight rounds of ammunition, our country’s military and civilians in the war of resistance against Japan, commonly known as this gun for the “eight box”. “Wang Baji box”, the fat man home before such a trophy, in this see “Wang Baji box” feel like seeing an old friend, pick up and repeatedly pushed and pulled a few times, this gun with oil cloth wrapped tightly, half a point did not sound rust, magazines are full, but the design process of this broken gun there are precedents. This broken gun design process there are inherent defects, jamming, blowing up, mute fire problems, bring it up to play a self-defense role, the fat man has a gun in the hands of what do not care about, without saying a word, first of all, the pistol to their own back waist, I said to him: “the eight box itself is not good, plus the gun more than twenty years without maintenance, you still take it easy you, not as a last resort, try not to use it. Do not try to use this gun until the last resort, the eight box alias also called suicide gun, can not hit the enemy is small, hit their own can not eat a pocket to go.”

Fatty is trying to brag to me his set of play gun craft, Ding Sistern suddenly happy: “This piece of paper may be the institute map.” Said picking up a drawing from the clutter, we stopped talking and hurriedly picked up the map to take a look by the light of the candle, slightly disappointed, the map has a large and a small two, the smaller one of the so-called institute facilities map, is nothing more than hand-drawn, with many markings on it, it looks chaotic, the other one of the large scale map, is the topography around the Hundred Eyes Cave, the north is connected to the desert, and the south is connected to the grassland, the Those places old sheepskin is also always familiar with, so this map does not mean much to us.

And then repeatedly look at the structure of the Institute map, only to find that this place is very large, although the map is simple, but very intuitive and easy to understand, but also slope for the perfect, mainly the Institute of the underground distribution of waterways, from the map sketched on the mark, that the Russians escape route is from the basement, along the direction of the water, through the incineration of underground water pipes, and then bypassed the completely closed prison area, a circle to the north, the west side of the mountain passes from time to time, there are a number of people who have been in and out of the country. The west side of the pass was infested with “burning winds” that killed people from time to time, and it was obvious that he wanted to leave through the north side of the pass.

We have palpitations on this basement, read the map, immediately find out the escape route, decided to leave as soon as possible, and immediately pack up all the application of things, the remaining bottles of foreign wine are also brought, the crowd of capitalism is not cut off the tail clean, and convergence of the departure of some rare foreign gadgets, clothes and shoes can be worn did not leave behind, I see a top hat in the room, I put on my head, I lost my dog skin hat, head wounds, do not wear a hat, but also a hat. I lost my dog skin hat, and there is a wound on my head, not wearing a hat is easy to tetanus, but also lest the fleas and cockroaches in the sewer fall into the hair, I gave myself an excuse, finally distinguish my behavior and the old sheepskin and other people’s low awareness of the behavior.

Back to the foul-smelling sewers, I think the outside of the day is also almost dawn, for the route out of the desperate situation also have a brow, although the things after going back is also a real headache, but better than in this haunted research institute every moment fear, we return to the heart of the arrow, with reference to the map of the cage candles forward, according to the instructions of the escape route, we are going to walk a section of the back road.

But did not wait to get out of the far, I found Ding Si sweet non-stop coughing, and the face is not right, I thought the light is too dark to see the wrong, but let her stop and take a closer look, she looked haggard, the corner of the eye eyebrow slightly covered with a layer of obvious green gas, touched her forehead, slightly hot, burned although the temperature is not too high, but look at the color of the face actually seems to be sick not clear.

I have long been worried about this sewer incinerator will not have any virus bacteria, see the situation can not help but be afraid for her: “black plague? Bubonic plague? But it is not like in this secret research institute infected with infectious diseases, then everyone has a share, why I and fat old sheepskin three people did not think there is any abnormal situation?”

Old Sheepskin and Fatty heard the commotion also stopped to look at her, Old Sheepskin is familiar with medicinal herbs, is considered half a barefoot doctor, he looked at Ting Si-Tsiang’s tongue tire, and touched the pulse, alarmed: “This is afraid to be hit by some kind of poison ……”

Ding Si sweet very strong, in the youth point of work, a little sick small disaster on the teeth, not willing to others pity care of her, would like to stick to with us out of this place again, but at this time she also know can not be hidden: “in the incineration room to escape from the time, by the brocade scale stork of the poisonous gas a forced, will begin to feel the chest some stifling sad, because at that time to see the guys are all right, so I didn’t care, I didn’t feel anything in the Russian’s room, but now this feeling is getting heavier and heavier, and I feel cold all over, I’m afraid I’ve been poisoned by the quail.”

That two o’clock in the morning and evening spit poison brocade scale quail, the spray of poisonous mist is very thick, at that time we were trapped in the incineration room, although in the inhalation of deadly poisonous mist before we managed to escape, but that quail poison is extremely fierce, at that time in the basement everyone can not help but feel dizzy and nauseous, I’m afraid that all more or less sucked into the quail some of the venom, brocade scale quail abnormal sex yin, and the poison is also yin venom, the man yang qi is not to feel anything, but in the same conditions, the woman on the quail poison, the man’s yang qi is not to feel anything, but in the same conditions. The woman is more sensitive to the quail poison, only inhaled some subtle quail poison, is enough to make Ting Si-Tian can not withstand, after a period of incubation, finally began to attack.

It is said that the woman in the brocade scale quail spit poison, mouth and eyes green, and accompanied by symptoms of a low fever, both eyes produce hallucinations can see colorful colors, if there is no medication to detoxify, about 24 hours, will produce dizziness, breathing difficulties, numbness of the whole body, leading to coma in severe cases, unconsciousness, and finally will be due to the respiratory system paralysis and muscle paralysis and death, even if it is the Hua Tuo re-incarnation of the late stage also have no The old sheepskin anxiously said: “The old sheepskin is not a good choice, but a good choice.

The old sheepskin anxiously said: “this can not be saved, the grassland is very difficult to find this antidote herbs, we go back to the pastoral area and then to the hospital in the flag, to say the least nearly two days of time, then this baby is not to send the life?” Fatty was also anxious and said to me, “Old Hu, do you have any ideas? Hurry to think of a way to Si sweet, we can not let her die like this ah.”
