Chapter 195: Tree Roots Hide Corpses
The gust of wind stunned me in place, and my brain stopped spinning as if it had been short-circuited, as if frozen in this moment.
I remember that there shouldn't be wind in this place, could it be that something moved and caused a ripple? I reached out and touched my neck, smoothing the hairs that stood on end, and looked back suspiciously.
In the woods where you don't even bother to move a leaf, where will there be a shadow of a person.
It's really strange today, not only auditory hallucinations, but also hallucinations, this forest is very weird, I have to act quickly, find the crane, harness the tapir, and get out of this ghost place.
If my initial assumptions are correct, it's likely that the crane went into a very warm place and hid, which should be in the middle of the ground beneath my feet. I held up the flashlight in my hand and looked around at the identical land, as if to see if there were any signs of it being turned over.
Although each tree in the entire giant Berlin grows with its own characteristics, twisting into a strangely shaped arc, as if it is a face corroded by sulfuric acid. But at this moment, the trees are almost identical to me, and I can't tell which piece of land is where the crane really opens.
The light of the flashlight kept sweeping in front of me, shaking my eyes a little sore. I opened my backpack and took out the kettle, tilted my head and poured it violently, looking at the almost identical scene in front of me, I suddenly bowed my head and knelt down, took out the hammer that the bag gave me, and smashed it into the ground in front of me with a hammer.
No matter what, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and it's better to choose a place than to hit the ground, so let's start with this one.
The snow on the ground smashed out a lot of snow foam in the moment when the hammer was waved, revealing the black-brown surface underneath in three or five strokes. I'm not familiar with the structure of the land here, and I didn't see any change in the surface of the ground after a few hammers, just a shallow pit. In its current form, how could the crane have time to slowly smash out an entrance that could allow the body to enter, to avoid danger. There should be no passage for cranes to enter.
I bent my legs and moved to the side, making random gestures. Another hammer at the root of the tree on the other side. But before the second hammer could be dropped, I suddenly felt that the pit I had smashed out of was becoming a little strange.
I didn't move my body, sharpened my ears and listened carefully to the movement on the side, carefully squinting my eyes. Observe the movement of that land.
The 10-centimeter-deep wound that I had smashed actually began to heal slowly, like a human wound, and the soil was filling it up for itself. Not only that, but the voice sounded terrifying. Cluck, cluck, like someone using a knife, slowly gliding over the bumpy skull.
My Celestial Spirit Cover ached, as if the knife was hanging over my skull, and I could scarcely look at the strange ground from the front. Before I could react, the pit in front of me began to heal, and it was so frightened that my hammer fell to the ground and hit my foot with a stick, making me scream in pain.
Sao Bao this guy. Forget about giving me self-defense, it has to be all metal, and now I really have no place to cry.
I didn't dare to act rashly, I was afraid that a mouth would appear on the ground and swallow me hard. After waiting for about ten minutes, the ground that had healed was no different from before, as if nothing had happened.
Ha, that's it, since you can heal, then Bibi. Is it me who smashed it fast or you who healed faster!
I didn't know where I got the motivation to take out all the utensils in my backpack and ping-pong holes in the ground. Don't say it, being tossed by me like this. The ground along the roots of the tree immediately went down quite a bit.
Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I strained my right hand, and I lifted up another handful of soil. Almost at the same time, I felt a burst of softness in my hammer and feet. This kind of softness is not like the feeling of stepping on cotton, but it is soft and hard, which is very strange. I stopped what I was doing. Leaning over and brushing away the ground in front of him little by little with his hand, he suddenly saw a touch of red appear in front of him.
My first reaction was blood, but fortunately, the red coagulated one was something like a strip of cloth. As soon as I stopped, the ground began to heal, and I began to work again, separating the dirt from the bright strip of cloth.
The further down I went my heart beat faster, and I was almost certain that there was a person buried underneath it, and that person was 100% dead. I don't know why it's so strangely buried here, but since it's already started, there's no reason not to continue.
The process of exhuming the body was too difficult for me, a weak woman. After working for most of the day, he finally cleared his body, but found a more difficult problem.
The roots of the tree were already wrapped around the man's body.
Solang said that this giant Berlin grows extremely fast, it looks like it has grown for hundreds of thousands of years, and the roots are as thick as my thighs, not to mention. Such roots are coiled and intertwined with a corpse, and no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.
Looking at the corpse again, except for the red belt tied around the waist, there is no longer the slightest recognizability in other places, and the exposed parts such as the face and arms have begun to ossify, and the softness that I noticed just now should be brought by the cotton clothes on the body. His mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to say something more, but he couldn't make any sound.
This kind of corpse with a belt is so anxious that I have seen it before. It was in Lu Yao's dream, it was snowing, and I pulled out a person who looked exactly like Lu Yao from the snow, and the scene now is almost exactly the same as it was at that time.
If the original plot continues to develop, this corpse should ......
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I picked up my bag and prepared to leave here.
It's so wicked here, I even think that the reason why those trees grow so fast is because they absorb the power of the corpses below. I don't know how the crane got in here, but now I can't do it alone. I'd better go back and discuss it with him Tang Kai and make a decision.
I looked at the marked trees in front of me and prepared to leave the route I had just come. A few steps away, I couldn't help but look back at the corpse. The corpse's mouth was still wide open, but the color of its face began to grow strange. The earthy yellow color that had just looked like a dried corpse suddenly turned a little blue. And I don't know if it's because the body was dug up, the ground hasn't healed for the first time.
My hands began to tremble unconsciously, and I subconsciously told me that this was not a good sign. I wanted to run with my legs, but my feet felt like they had roots, and I couldn't move at all.
The color of the corpse continued to change, and the remaining wrinkled skin began to have blood vessels like black snakeheads. Little by little, it protrudes from under the skin, and if you look closely, you can always feel that something is flowing slowly in those veins.
With the protrusion of blood vessels. The corpse's face was even darker, almost to the point of iron blue, and the mouth that had been originally long was opening wide in a very strange posture, and the angle was even more incredible.
I suddenly thought of a ghost story that Cheng Xiao told me in the car. At that time, she learned that I was the editor-in-chief of Persona. I was so excited that I had to tell me ghost stories about local "specialties" and let me, an "expert", give you a review.
"Hey, what kind of expert am I." I smiled, but my eyes were still on the glass of the window.
"Editor-in-Chief Wu, don't say that." Cheng Xiao was energetic and unconsciously turned his body around. She sat in the passenger seat, and I was in the back seat, with the seat belt resting on her slender waist, looking strangely uncomfortable. "In this regard. I dare say you must be an expert. â
I chuckled and didn't answer, and she began to talk to herself.
"Don't look at the capital of our S province and your big cities, they are all high-rise buildings, in fact, our culture here is rich! Do you know how many ethnic minorities are in this area? I see that there are fifty-four! Awesome, isn't it? â
"I'll tell you one first, there's not much time, I'll talk about it quickly. In a few days we will go to the plateau, and you can see that there are some old houses built very low. Either the threshold is very high, and the high one is a little scary. None of this is meant to attract tourists, in fact, it's for zombie protection. â
"Zombies?" My eyes immediately reminded me of the glorious years of Hong Kong and Taiwan zombie films more than ten years ago. I'm also a loyal viewer who is scared and funny with a TV set.
"Isn't that interesting? The zombies we have here are not called zombies, they are called walking corpses, or weak men, but they all behave like zombies, walking woodenly, and slapping people's heads. It is said that it was photographed. You will also be corpsed, this is like a virus, once it spreads to ten, ten to hundred, it will immediately become a village of the walking dead. â
I'm not a bold person, and I'm willing to listen to her ghost stories because she held me up too high at first, and it would be too shameless to be scared at this time. Although my scalp was numb and I always felt that something was about to touch my head, I continued to ask with pretended composure.
"And then?"
"And then we built those kinds of houses, because the walking corpses don't writhe, so they can't get into those houses. So this story, but it's really zĂ i! â
Cheng Xiao's voice was deliberately lowered, trying to create this weird atmosphere. I was almost immersed in the scene until the driver next to me burst out laughing, breaking the atmosphere she had worked so hard to create.
"I said, girl, you have seen a lot of ghost stories, now you go to the plateau to see, where is there that kind of house, don't scare yourself here, go to the plateau to see the scenery later, it's much better than listening to these ghost stories."
The driver's words were reasonable, although they were not good, but Cheng Xiao did not fight back.
At the end, the driver suddenly added: "Look at you scared people, the girl in the back has a white face." â
As soon as I heard this, my face, which had been so frightened just now, suddenly turned red.
"Miss Wu, I'...... I didn't mean to scare you. Cheng Xiao reacted, a little embarrassed.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. cough...... "I didn't think that my careful thinking was actually seen through by a driver." Sure enough, people who run on the road all year round look at people accurately.
"That'...... What to do with those walking corpses? I asked.
"Huh?" Cheng Xiao didn't react, and suddenly realized that when I was still asking her about that story, I was so happy.
"Oh, you mean to deal with it, it's not difficult, as long as it's ......"
"Here we are." The driver stopped and pulled up the sign of the empty car. The ticket machine "squeaked" and spit out an invoice, and the driver skillfully stretched out his hand to tear it off and handed it to Cheng Xiao in the co-pilot's seat.
"Thank you, master!" Cheng Xiao helped me take off my luggage and led me into the lobby of the InterContinental International Hotel.
I thought it would be too late for me to make up for the follow-up to this story when I saw her the next time, but in the face of the current situation, I regretted that my bowels were blue. I have a gut feeling that this swollen and blackened corpse in front of me is likely to sit up suddenly in the next second, and then run over and touch my "top" at a fast speed.
I didn't dare to think about it, and I didn't want to think about it, the Heavenly Spirit Cover felt as if it had been uncovered, and I felt completely cold. At this moment I just want to get out of here, this place is so weird.
I walked briskly through the middle of the woods, spending as little time as possible trying to discern the carvings on the trees. Fortunately, every time I carved it, I used enough force to make it easy to identify.
When I came here just now, it had been about two hours of stop-and-go. Due to the special nature of the closed forest, I did not notice that the only light around me was fading at a rapid pace, and the time was already close to six o'clock.
At this point, Tang Kai should have gone back a long time ago, if he found out that I was not there and touched his cowhide envelope, he would definitely have the heart to skin me.
My breathing began to rapid, and my steps became more rapid. As long as I keep walking and don't stop at all, I should be able to go out soon, and I won't be afraid when I get out.
Just as I was timing my time and preparing to go uphill, I suddenly noticed that the road in front of me had passed near the tangled corpse.
From the distance of three trees, I could clearly see the bright red belt around the corpse's waist.
I could hardly believe my eyes, but at the same time I understood that the situation at this moment was very likely to be a ghost hitting the wall.
Many people say that ghosts hitting the wall is a very common phenomenon, but it is just the deviation of direction caused by people in an extremely stressful environment. But no matter how wrong I am, the nicks on the tree can't fool me!
My legs went limp, and I wanted to smash a hammer on my leg and scrap this unfortunate thing.
My eyes were constantly drawn to the corpse, and for a moment, I suddenly felt the chest of the corpse in front of me begin to rise and fall slowly, as if I was breathing, including the roots wrapped around his body.
"Girl......" The ethereal cry suddenly sounded, like an invisible tentacle, slamming my neck. (To be continued.) )
