Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Mysterious Pair of Hands
At this time, the mine was close to collapsing, and Guan Zixuan was still a few steps away from climbing up.
I was very anxious, and I was silently helping her.
At this moment, the zombie behind her suddenly grabbed her heels!
The zombie dragged her directly into the hole, Guan Zixuan didn't have much strength, and she definitely couldn't resist the zombie's strength.
Fight!
I took a deep breath and slid down with a jump on my counterpart.
"Zixuan, I'm here to save you!
I yelled as I slid and the soles of my shoes were worn off, and I couldn't care about the blood on my feet.
"Be careful, they're very strong!"
This time, Guan Zixuan's tone seemed less flustered.
"I can't care so much, if there are stones, pick them up and throw them at them!
I could feel myself getting closer to her!
Faster!
I skated as fast as I could, and when I hit a steep slope, I just jumped straight away, which would make me faster.
At first, I could barely see my surroundings, but as it got darker, I had to jump along from memory.
I should have brought a torch with me!
Also because I was in too much of a hurry to ignore this!
"Xiaojie, are you alright?"
As I slid down, I vaguely heard Uncle Wang's voice coming from my head.
"Uncle Wang, don't come down! stay there to pick us up!"
I shouted at my head, but I didn't care if he didn't answer, so I rushed forward.
In a few moments, I was descending to the gentle terrain.
The mine is collapsing, and pebbles are rolling down.
I don't have much time, and I must rescue Guan Zixuan as soon as possible.
"Zixuan!
"Zixuan, where are you?"
I yelled so hard that I didn't care that the stone would not fall, and let the pebble fall on me.
"Zhao Jie, I'm here!"
It's over there!
I followed the direction from which the voice came.
"Zhao Jie, you have to be careful, these zombies are not normal!"
Abnormal?
What does that mean?
"Zixuan, what's going on?
I talked to her while chasing her, and before I knew it, I was more than ten meters deeper.
"I don't know, it feels weird, they ...... Hmmm......"
Before Guan Zixuan finished speaking, I heard the sound of covering her mouth.
I panicked even more!
"Zixuan, what's wrong with you!"
I sped in the direction of the last place where the sound came, and although I couldn't see anything, I was still accelerating!
"Zhao Jie, I'm fine. ”
I rushed into a forked hole and saw Guan Zixuan squatting in the corner.
"Zixuan, are you okay? What happened just now? Wait, this is ......"
Halfway through my sentence, I noticed that it seemed to be a little light all around!
Looking to the side, there are a lot of glowing stones.
"I don't know what's going on. Guan Zixuan replied.
"What about zombies?"
"Gone. ”
"Where did you go?"
"I don't know. ”
"How did you escape?"
"Actually, I don't know. ”
What the hell is going on? I was completely confused.
At this time, I heard Guan Zixuan continue to explain: "I really don't know. I was being dragged by a zombie when a pair of hands came out from behind and covered my mouth. ”
"I subconsciously wanted to break free, and then I suddenly felt the zombie holding my foot let go!"
A pair of hands?
The hands of zombies?
Guan Zixuan said that those hands are warm, like the hands of a living person!
How can there be living people in this place?
Even if there were, why didn't we find out when we came in just now?
"And then, have you seen the owner of those hands?" I asked.
"I didn't see anyone at all!" Guan Zixuan continued: "After I let go of those hands, I turned my head to look, and I was shocked that there was nothing behind me!"
"You mean, the zombies are gone?"
"yes, there's nothing left but these glowing stones!"
"Then you ......"
"Please, you see I'm hurt, can you ask questions later!
I was going to continue to ask for some details, but I was embarrassed by what she said, and quickly checked her injuries.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, just some abrasions on the wrist and ankle.
"You...... Why did you hurt more than me?"
She looked at my hands and feet with a surprised expression.
I'm really embarrassed now, I'm dirty, my feet are worn out, and I don't know where my shoes are going.
"Can I manage so much to save you just now?" I replied to her in a relaxed tone.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, I'm going to repay you for not abandoning me in Xiayang Village!" I grinned.
"Zhao Jie, the zombies are a little different this time!"
After resting for a few minutes, Guan Zixuan suddenly said seriously.
"Actually, I just wanted to ask, what's the difference?"
Guan Zixuan continued: "I found that they don't seem to be simple corpses!"
Not a simple corpse?
What is that?
Guan Zixuan said that she found something different just now - zombies, with teeth!
Zombies with teeth?
Zombies?
But they're just controlled by bugs, so why do teeth still grow?
I know that when you die, your cells don't stop metabolizing immediately, and your nails and hair grow accordingly.
But it doesn't make sense that teeth will grow too, right?
"What do you think?" I couldn't think of a reasonable answer for the time being, so I asked Guan Zixuan.
"A fanciful idea. Guan Zixuan said, "Do you think the body fluids of these bugs will change the structure of the corpse?"
It's outrageous, but it's not a way of thinking.
It's better to have an idea than to be in a daze.
Can bug bodily fluids change the structure of a corpse? Is it really possible?
"What do you think about in the liquid that will keep the teeth growing?" she continued.
"No, teeth don't grow anymore when they get to a certain point...... Are you really seeing teeth?"
It occurred to me that the granulation of some kind of fungus happened to be growing on the corpse?
"Of course!, it must be teeth!" she said in a sure tone.
"Then why didn't it bite you?"
"Do you really want me to die?" she put on her shoes and stood up.
At this time, several more pieces of rubble fell off.
Here we go again!
It's only been stable for a few minutes, and I didn't think it would continue to collapse.
"Let's go, this place is not suitable for a long time!"
So we slowly groped our way back the way we came.
"Let's go!"
Two-thirds of the way through, the hole began to collapse in large areas again!
"Quick, you go ahead this time!" I said to Guan Zixuan.
"Why, you're seriously injured, you go ahead!" she immediately retorted.
"There's no time to fight, I don't want to save you again!" I said aloud.
"You've got heroic baggage!" she said again, and climbed up.
What the hell is hero baggage?
I didn't have time to think about anything else, so I quickly climbed up.
"Quick! The falling rocks are getting bigger!"
Guan Zixuan turned around and said.
"Uncle Wang, pick us up!" I shouted outside.
"Xiaojie, Zixuan, I'm here, come up, the hole is about to collapse!"
I was relieved to hear Uncle Wang's voice, at least we were not far from the entrance of the cave, this kind of feeling of not being able to see anything was really uncomfortable!
After climbing a few steps, I finally saw the sky, a bright moon hanging high, and the moonlight shone down on our way out.
"Come, hold my hand!"
Guan Zixuan had already gone up, and Uncle Wang reached out to me.
I was in an awkward position, lying on a small raised rock, hand and foot, and my hands couldn't reach up at all.
Thundered!
The hole under my feet has collapsed for the most part, and if my hand slips now, I will definitely fall and be stoned to death!
"Here, grab this!"
At this time, Guan Zixuan took off the coat I gave her and put down two sleeves!
"I hope you don't buy fakes, otherwise you'll be miserable!" Guan Zixuan added.
Just kidding! This is the first and only brand I bought with my hard-earned money!
Without further ado, I grabbed those two sleeves directly, and I have to say that the quality of this dress saved my life!
It's finally up!
The three of us sat on a big rock at the top of the hill, looked at each other, and smiled.
It was a thrilling evening.
This time I came out to investigate the clues, which can be regarded as a small gain, at least I know why they are afraid of the midday sun.
I've finally seen them in their true faces!
"Uncle Wang, you say...... Do dead corpses really have teeth?" I turned to look at Uncle Wang.
Unexpectedly, after hearing my question, Uncle Wang stood up suddenly: "You mean, the zombies you see have teeth?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
I don't understand why Uncle Wang has such a big reaction.
"If there are teeth, it would be strange. Uncle Wang continued, "Xiaojie, I once saw zombies with fangs!"
