Chapter 169: Raising the Corpse Incense
Captain Xu is not here, a group of people can be said to be leaderless, especially Dr. Yang, if he insists on his opinion, how dare those little soldiers stop him!
So I was the one to be the wicked man, and Dr. Young's adventurous spirit was admirable, and in spite of what I had said, he was still stubborn in his desire to get out.
Cynthia had no choice but to take her men to protect him, her duty was to stay by Dr. Yang's side, and since he was gone, she had to follow him as well.
I looked at Sanjiu and wanted to know what his attitude was, after all, Cynthia was his friend, and if he wanted to go with him to help, I would have to accompany him.
But Sanjiu just wished her good luck and didn't plan to accompany her, and Tian Xin was very disappointed that I chose to stay and protect the other experts instead of leaving with her.
Originally, a few soldiers also had to go with them, because Captain Xu told them to protect the expert group when he left, but seeing that Dr. Yang and the engineer were going to act alone, they couldn't stop them, so they could only accompany them to protect.
But these people were stopped by me, and the ugly words were already said in front, and some people were willing to die, so I naturally had no reason to stop them.
And the soldiers under Captain Xu, before he comes back, I have to leave them behind, they are all combat effectiveness, and if you want to break through from S City, you need them to live.
Seeing Tian Xin and his party walk out of the supermarket and drive away the off-road vehicle, the soldier I stopped asked against, "Why don't you let us go with them to protect them?" ”
He asked after he picked those people to leave, and probably thought that there was a reason why I did this, so I bluntly said that Tian Xin had a problem.
"What? Questions? Then we should go along to protect Deng Gong and Dr. Hall! ”
"If something happens to you, who's going to protect the rest of the experts? Professor Fang fell into a coma. There will be a lot of places to employ people in the future. ”
The conversation between us was not overheard by the experts upstairs, at which point 009 and 011, who had been assigned by 005 to check the security of the entire supermarket building, returned to the supermarket on the first floor.
They carefully inspected every part of the building to make sure that nothing that flew in the sky or ran on the ground could get in before they came back.
There were two people guarding every room with windows, and when 009 saw me, he said to me, "There are still some tables, chairs, and miscellaneous items in the basement, and there is no exit except for vents and stairwells." ”
The soldier I was talking to just now was obviously surprised that 009 had something to report to me, and 009 had a higher rank between them, according to the principle. When Captain Xu and 005, the vice-captain, were not there. It is up to the rank to decide who should be under command.
009 did this because when I was on the island, he knew how good I was, and I was much calmer than them when dealing with all kinds of monsters.
"It's better to seal the basement door to the first floor." I thought about it and said.
"The growth rate of the Nine Lotus Tree is quite fast. Just in case. It's best to do so. Sanjiu added.
009 nodded. Immediately take 011 to seal the basement door, we now have to guard against not only the corpse monsters and giant bats, but also the Nine Lotus Tree Roots that grow underground and move freely are also a potential threat.
In the evening. Five hours had passed since Captain Xu and the others left, and they had contacted by radio communicator, but there was no response from there.
Dr. Wang even announced 10 minutes ago that Professor Fang had gone, and for a time there was a bleak cloud of gloom in the supermarket, and in order to prevent infection, Dr. Wang and Professor Qin remained in the office with Professor Fang's body as companions.
When Sanjiu and I pushed the door in, Dr. Wang stared at us in surprise and hurriedly drove the two of us out, and Sanjiu closed the door with a blank face.
I said to the two people in the room, "Professor Fang's death probably has nothing to do with the flu. ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them widened their eyes and looked surprised, and Sanjiu took over from me and said, "It may be poisoning." ”
I asked, "After Tian Xin got in the car, did you smell anything?" ”
Dr. Wang hurriedly said, "Yes, there is a very strong fragrance. ”
Professor Qin also chimed in: "Yes, it's so fragrant that it makes it difficult for people to breathe." ”
I nodded, "That's right, the smell is probably a toxic gas." ”
If it was as I expected, it would be useless for them to hide anywhere, and the whole team would definitely be hit, of course, Sanjiu and I would be an exception.
Because only the two of us didn't smell the fragrance, Sanjiu walked in front of Professor Fang's body, Professor Fang's eyes were closed, his face was ruddy, and he looked healthier than when he was alive.
Sanjiu looked at Professor Fang and spit out three words for a long time: "Raise corpse incense!" ”
Seeing that Doctor Wang and the others looked at each other with a blank expression, Sanjiu continued to explain: "Using this kind of incense to smoke the corpse, the corpse can be well maintained. ”
Dr. Wang is a Western doctor, and he knows that he has never heard of such a strange folk secret recipe.
Professor Qin has been engaged in medical work for many years, and he has never heard of such a thing in the world, and Sanjiu is actually guessing, the first time he heard about the incense of raising corpses was a few years ago when he went to the Arab region with a private expedition team.
There is a local legend that there is a demon in the desert that transforms into an animal and specializes in raiding graves and feeding on corpses or young children.
In the end, the ghoul demon didn't see it, but they found a lifelike corpse, soaked in a strange liquid.
Instead of swelling and rotting from years of immersion in water, the corpse was as ruddy as a living person, and its skin was white and tender, but no one knew what the liquid was or why it smelled so strange.
"An old gentleman in the team said that the liquid was a corpse incense, boiled with secret medicine, and the corpse was soaked in the potion, and the longer the year, the better the medicinal effect."
"W-What medicine?" Doctor Wang stammered.
"He told us that if we ate the corpse soaked in the medicinal juice, we can have a face forever." Sanjiu said lightly.
"Pure nonsense, superstition!" Dr. Wang said indignantly.
"But, does this have anything to do with Professor Fang's death?" Professor Qin asked.
"This incense is a skin care for the dead, but it is highly poisonous for the living." Thirty-nine ways.
"You mean that the fragrance on Tian Xin's body is the incense of raising corpses?" Dr. Wang's tone was raised unconsciously.
"Well, that's just my guess, though." Sanjiu said truthfully.
"That's... If that were the case, wouldn't each of us be poisoned? Professor Qin finally understood what Sanjiu meant, he looked at Professor Fang's corpse, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat from his face.
"This has not been confirmed yet, so we don't plan to tell others that Dr. Wang and Professor Qin are both medical workers, and they just need to have a bottom in their hearts, if there is a second person who is unconscious for no reason, Sanjiu's guess is nine times out of ten correct."
When Dr. Wang and Professor Qin heard this, their faces were even more ugly than they suspected that Professor Fang had the new type of flu, after all, if the flu could reduce the mortality rate through isolation, but now everyone has a knife hanging over their heads, and it is useless to hide to the ends of the earth.
