Chapter 56 – The forbidden room to cultivate the wreckage
With “zero” mark on the iron door has a turntable lock, old sheepskin and fat man two people with the back against the door, waist and legs to add strength, the iron door that has not been opened and closed for more than twenty years to close up, squeaking and rattling sound, I hold the turntable door lock, ready to fall on the iron door at the time of the closure of the body to make it rotate by its own weight to lock the gateway.
I was about to close the iron door, but in the brick room there were already a few rotting corpses’ ghastly white arms stretched out, all of which were added to the doorway, and those dead people’s fingers scratched the iron door, and the sound of fingernails and iron rubbing together appeared to be extremely loud in the empty tunnels, which made people’s scalp tighten, and they couldn’t wait to reach out and cover their own ears, and didn’t want this kind of bone marrow-seeping ringing to enter into their heads.
Fatty grabbed the old sheepskin in the hands of the long knife, casually cut, chopped off a few arms and a carrion head from the doorway out of the severed limbs at once flowed out of many black whirring sticky liquid, the smell of strange fishy stench, in the people want to vomit, the fat man chopped a few knives, but the brick room stretched out the carrion limbs are more and more, the original is about to be closed on the iron door, and then was hard to open a few inches, the iron door seems to be behind the endless mystery of the force, has exceeded the human capacity. There seems to be an endless mysterious force behind the iron door, which has exceeded the range of human confrontation, Ding Sistern saw the three of us tight, also struggled to come over to help, the four of us gritted our teeth and used our whole body strength, but the iron door not only could not go back, but the doorway was more and more large, and finally in a burst of shocking waves of tremendous force impact, we were knocked to the ground, the iron door of the Zero was finally from the inside to the completely opened.
“Zero” iron door by the huge force coming from the brick room blasted open, behind the door seems to have a mountain is moving, I and fat man encountered in that chamber of the rotting corpses, although the force is big, but the action is slow and stiff, alone those maggot-filled zombies, by no means possible to send out this kind of movement, that mysterious brick kiln is buried in the what unusual things! The mysterious brick kiln must have buried something unusual.
But we simply can not continue to stay in front of the iron door, waiting to see what will climb out of the inside, I see want to rely on the iron door to take the defensive position of the abacus has fallen through, and hastily let the fat man back up the legs and feet of the weak ding sis-tian, the four forced to withstand the pain of the passageway to the outside, I smelled behind the stench of the pungent nose, in the middle of the rush to hold up the engineer lighting cylinder looked back, which is between the shake, only to see the iron door in the countless outpouring of dead people in white! Limbs, these corpses as if wrapped in some kind of plant, all connected as one, is a strand of a strand of writhing out of the brick room.
These white dead body mixed with countless plant roots, a thousand hanging from the soil and maggots, I was secretly surprised, encountered a rotting corpse in the brick room, first thought that the dead first corpse, available eyes staring at the method but could not restrain it, then began to suspect that not zombies, but what exactly is difficult to judge, when it was in a hurry to turn around and look back, I found that all of the dead body, are like growing in a what white Plant rhizome, that white in the head of the yellow thing is like a rare giant ginseng, the upper half looks like an old woman, full of wrinkles, bloated body, the lower half is like a ginseng, all the branches of the roots, there are long and short as if the tentacles, each root has a hard hair barbs, dozens of rotten and dried corpses with its roots as one, God knows the Japs in that brick kiln to raise what is this Monster.
But even a thousand years old ginseng is not so big, this is really a thousand years old ginseng, but also must be a strain of demon ginseng, the fat man also turned around to look at the right, shocked: “Old Hu you look at the dead body how to grow out of the Wubu?” I help the old sheepskin to run forward while the fat man said: “What are your eyes, take a close look, that is a big ginseng on a pile of dead bodies, not dead bodies on the radish, there are still the Russian spirits do not have? Quickly throw a bottle of lighted to stop it …….”
But just withdrew in a hurry, in a panic from the Russian room rolled out of the package thrown near the iron door, want to go back to get it is impossible, had to accelerate the pace to escape, but we have been exhausted to the extreme, the soles of the feet as if filled with lead, although the heart is anxious, the feet are dead can not take a step, however, behind the rotting corpses wrapped in the alien plants more and more close to the press, only to hear that the withered bark of the friction of the wall skin concrete The sound is in the back of the head, the fishy odor is almost choking people to faint.
Most of the underground passage is closed iron door, but some locked can not be opened, we panicked, see the corner of the channel with iron lattice of the iron door is not closed, and hurriedly help each other to kick the door and rushed in, backhanded shut the door but half a step too late, that seems to be ginseng-like plants have a tentacle has been probed into the door, the fat man was trying to top the door, I do not expect to bear the brunt of that root of a few rotting corpses wrapped around a solid. I’m not sure if I’m going to be the first to be entangled in it.
I and the old sheepskin is dead against the iron door, simply can not spare a hand to save him, at this time the fat man an arm and two legs are rotten corpses hold, he only has one arm can still move, waved a knife to cut off the demon ginseng’s root tentacles, thick as ink foul-smelling juices splashed him slowly all over the demon ginseng’s roots, as if he knew the pain of the general like a violent shrinkage of a bit, I and the old sheepskin along the way to the iron door pushed up the door, the door of the airlock! Due to too long no use has lost its effect, I pushed a chair over the top of the door, outside the nail scratching sound is still unceasing, a burst of slamming iron door.
We leaned against the iron door with our backs, our hearts pounding into a ball, only one thought left in our minds, “Chairman blessing, I hope this iron door and wall are repaired strong and sturdy, but don’t let that monster break through the door and come in.” Although the sound outside the door is endless, but this basement is completely in accordance with the standard construction of solid military fortifications, take the bomb may not be blown up, we retreated into this place, finally considered to have achieved temporary safety.
The fat man hurriedly reached out and touched himself, see the body parts are not missing, this is a sigh of relief, and then look at the demon ginseng root cut off by the long knife, nearly two meters long, enough thick and thin sea bowl, by the knife at the outflow of a lot of sticky foul-smelling juices, strange fishy abnormality, half of the root is broken, rolling and shivering, like a gecko cut off the tail, however, with the birth of its body as one of the three carrion, all completely lost the signs of life. Signs of life, eyes out of the dark liquid, just follow the twisting demon ginseng roots gusts of livestock, do not seem to pose any threat.
The old sheepskin and the fat man have lost their strength, leaning against the iron door to sit down disheveled, I forcefully used the engineer’s lighting tube to illuminate the basement where we are, the house is full of wolves, are some scattered tables, chairs and cupboards, regulating the air pipeline seems to be blocked, the underground air is cold to the bone, I am thinking of Ding Si-Shiang’s condition, do not have the heart to go to look at it again, help her to lean against a corner to sit down.
See Ding Si-Tian face green like water to drip, although the sanity is still there, but the breath has been like a swimmer, out of the gas more, into the gas less, as if at any time may not wake up, I comforted her, let her no matter what to insist on the end of the first gasp to take a break, even if the Institute to uncover the bottom of the sky to find the antidote.
Ding Si sweet seems to have known that her death is approaching, can not help but be extremely sad, straining to say to me and fat man: “I know that I am hopeless this time …… don’t tell my mom about this, I really miss the days when we strung out the whole country together, don’t feel sorry for me, you must think of a way to get out alive. Remember that death does not belong to the working class.”
I and the fat man clasped Ding Si sweet cold hands, sadly and tearfully replied: “low class interest is not guilty of ……” thought of life and death is imminent, are choking and then difficult to speak, this time the old sheepskin over and said: “This girl child’s life is bitter with the Le, we can not let her just like this! The old sheepskin came over and said, “This girl’s life is bitter, we can’t let her die in this dark room.”
Fatty cried and said, “Look at SiShuang’s color now, the poison of the brocade scale quail has been dispersed into the bone marrow, we are a clever woman can’t cook without rice, there is no antidote for this neurotoxin, there is no way to save her life.”
Shoulder wound pain in my brain veins popping up, if not the current situation is dangerous, hate can not fall headlong to the ground, sleep on his three days and three nights, but see the crowd frustration and despair, can not help but from the bones of an extremely strong rebellious emotions, the spirit of the spirit of a revitalization, I remember that a Russian philosopher once said: “the suffering of life is always pressured you can not breathe, if you do not resist, but just go to the bottom. If you do not resist, but only go to the mercy of fate, you will only sink deeper and deeper into the predicament, until finally lose everything.”
I gritted my teeth and said to the crowd, “If there is rice …… even a fucking poor woman can cook, I can never watch our most important comrade sacrifice in front of our eyes, there is no rice to find rice, there is no medicine to find medicine, it is not yet time to hold a memorial service for her, as long as there is still a breath of life, never give up lightly. .”
I listen to the side ear, the movement in the corridor outside the basement is much smaller than just a moment ago, but that cool appearance like an old woman in general ginseng spirit seems to be still waiting outside, that guy’s body is full of mud and maggots, and the roots wrapped in many rotting corpses, the size of its almost blocked the outside passage, not to say that we can think of a way to solve the problem, we don’t even know what it really is.
I used the last bit of cool water in the kettle to soak the lapel of my coat, put it on the forehead of Dinsi sweet to cool her down, and then in the interior of the back and forth step, racking their brains to think of ways to get out, walked a few back and forth, a glance on the closing of the basement iron door, was cut by the fat man half of an old ginseng-like roots, roots on a few skin white corpses, I used my foot to pluck one of the corpses, want to see whether it is a plant or a corpse?
The white corpse crawled a thick layer of fat maggots, maggots under a piece of black stuff, I saw something, hastily put the engineer lighting tube closer, a light, the original body wearing a black dress, there is a red tapestry tied around the waist, legs were sucked into the thick roots, and fused with them as a whole, can not distinguish the lower part of the body is what costume, and then look at a few other corpses, but are not clothed, and the dead probably died naked. When they died, they were probably naked.
My heart moved, busy on the fat man and other people said: “that Russian suicide note clearly wrote, this institute also held many countries prisoners as a living test object, but you see this wearing black clothes of the carcass, this black red taping very familiar, we are not where we have seen? It seems to be a tomb raiding hu bandit organization in the Xing’anling Mountains, this is definitely someone from the Mud Children’s Association.”
Fatty heard and nodded, this thing is not difficult to imagine, it is likely that the mud will be people from the Yellow Immortal Temple to steal some confidential things, and then the ghosts unloading donkey thrown into the brick room fed the demon ginseng, but there is a detail worth noting, the rest of the carcasses and their deaths are the same, but they are all naked, apparently the mud will be the hu bandit death is very hasty, not like the Japanese devils have a premeditated behavior, perhaps this hu bandit The same as the rest of the Institute, are affected by that sudden disaster, he fled into the brick room in a panic, the results …… became so, just now if not for the old sheepskin KangXi treasure knife sharp, I and the fat man is now more than half and he a downfall.
Fatty reached out in the dead man’s clothes, want to search to see if there is anything useful, the results of touching out a pair of black donkey hooves and a few sections of rope, in addition, there are also some secluded evil vermilion sand, which further confirms the identity of the dead, 100% is the mud will be the hu bandits, and then check to see the dry corpse, limbs, sinews and bones are stiff as rotting wood, hair and nails are still growing, with zombies in general, it is difficult to imagine how it is turned into this kind of The appearance.
In order to find a way out, I and the fat man thought before and after, coldly remembered that the brick kiln like chamber is very strange, we are in the Tuen Mun to engage in customs, demolition of many old graves old tombs, will be chipped and scraped clean grave bricks reuse, the shape of those grave bricks, although with this underground brick kiln is different, but the grave bricks with a cold choking breath, even in the midday sun, take a grave brick, but also absolutely feel the Not a trace of warmth, the grave brick is always like from the ice cellar just taken out, in this point I and fat man is a deep experience, into the brick kiln after the kind of chilling hair feeling is not wrong, maybe that way to “zero” for the code of the chamber, in fact, it is an underground tomb of the crypt, and the crypt of the clay under the why will be buried in a strain of a giant ginseng into the shape? Why is there a giant ginseng buried under the soil of that tomb?
At this time has been silent old sheepskin heard me and the fat man’s discussion, suddenly interjected: “I thought you intellectual young people have knowledge, know that the God God is a very Le, but listen to you say is a ginseng? Wrong well, in my hometown there is that God God’s corpse, if I am not old and confused remember wrong, that is from the western region back to the country dug out of the treasure.”
I did not expect the old sheepskin actually know, what the West back to the country? Busy let him make it clear, that ginseng which has grown many corpses in the end what is it?
