Chapter 11 is about the passage

It didn't take long for Ziyang to come back this time, and he was a little surprised that I was still in that horrible room.

"Why are you reluctant to leave? Still a little nostalgic? ”

"Come less!" I gave him a blank look. "Do you know what Captain Chen, they encountered?"

"Ever heard of corpse water?" Ji Ziyang walked to the bedside again to check on Captain Chen's body.

"I've heard of it, but isn't it all fiction?"

"Sometimes literary creation is not all groundless, this thing was called rotting corpse in ancient times, but it rarely appeared in the folk at the beginning, and it was all used in the palace."

"Such a perverted thing, which emperor Lao Tzu's masterpiece is it?!" I asked him dismissively.

"This thing existed in the Qin Dynasty, and it is said to be the masterpiece of Emperor Xin during the Shang Dynasty."

"It's the merchant king of the wine pond meat forest?!"

Ji Ziyang nodded, "Jiuchi Meat Forest is just a small trick, and there are many masterpieces of Di Xin, but in modern times, I can't find those historical records for a long time, and naturally no one will know about it." ”

"Is it because it's been lost for a long time?"

Ziyang shook his head. "Destroyed, which emperor is willing to let future generations know about his atrocities?!"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill the historian?"

"It's all."

"So what kind of carrion is this really so powerful?!"

"This thing has developed to its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties, some are powders, and some are liquids. It is said that if you get a little bit of blood on it, it will turn into a puddle of blood in a few moments. ”

"But Captain Chen, they didn't die immediately, they walked out of the cemetery, and they lived for so long..."

"Because of the long time, the effect of the medicine is not strong. They should have encountered the gas after the evaporation of the thing, and the skin was not severely damaged, but the respiratory tract and retina were still the first to be damaged, the formula of this thing has now been lost, and the main ingredient may be a little similar to your modern permangantic acid, or it may be aqua regia, the fragile mucosal tissue of human beings cannot resist the corrosion of this strong acid at all. There is no way for them to be cured, because they are rotting from the inside, and there is no way to cure them, and there is no need to cure them. ”

Ji Ziyang's expressionless face seemed to be just stating a simple fact, but I can't accept it, maybe this is the difference between a person who has lived for twenty years and a ghost who has been dead for thousands of years, he has seen too many life and death. But I can't imagine lying in bed, unhealed, watching my body turn into a puddle of mud and garbage, and if it were me, I would rather die happily.

"You sent Captain Chen back?" I asked him.

"Nope." Ji Ziyang shook his head. "He doesn't seem to want to go yet."

"Let's go back to the office."

The office is still very strict, I don't know why I am a little relaxed, Yun Ximing and Dazhe are waiting for my news, and Vice Minister Zhou will look at me suspiciously.

"Give me a sketch of the scene that Captain Chen drew earlier." Captain Chen and I didn't mention anything about the drawings, but I felt that I needed to do something to dispel Vice Minister Zhou's impression of my magic stick.

"According to what Captain Chen told me, in this place..."I drew a location on the sketch. There should be some mechanism here, after being triggered by our scientific expedition members, a strong acidic gas erupted, which caused heavy casualties. ”

What I said was Dao, and Vice Minister Zhou also nodded and asked me, "Do you know what kind of organ it is?" How can I crack it? ”

"Captain Chen, they don't know where the mechanism is, it happened very suddenly, they only mentioned that there is a door there, it should be the tomb door, but the specific mechanism is and how it is triggered, I don't know, I think if you want to know now, you can only go to the scene to see."

Vice Minister Zhou nodded, "I have dispatched the armed police around me to replace the air in the tomb at the site with exhaust equipment, I believe you can ensure that there is no toxic gas before when you go in." But you still have to take the necessary precautions. ”

"That's nature. By the way, Captain Chen said... All the expeditions are here... Injured... I'd like to see how the rest of them are doing. "I don't know if it's appropriate to use the term "healing wounds", but I think the word waiting for death is somewhat uncivilized.

"This... They—" Vice Minister Zhou looked embarrassed.

I know his concerns, but I'm afraid that no one else is in much better condition than Captain Chen. "Don't worry, leader, I'm mentally prepared." I comforted him.

"I'll go with you." Yun Ximing patted me on the side.

"I'll go too." Dazhe also chimed in. But I noticed that his face was still pale.

"Okay, you come with me." Vice Minister Zhou finally relented, stood up, and motioned for us to go out with him.

We walked out of the office with him, and when we walked to the door, I shoved him the disposable plastic bag that Dae-cheol had given me.

"Pay you back, Miss Ben didn't use it." I gave him a proud look.

"It's really domineering." He smiled innocently. Yun Ximing patted the back of Dazhe's head from behind.

"Fatty, keep it for yourself."

While talking, we had already arrived at the place, and Vice Minister Zhou did not take us to the "wards" downstairs, but took us to a room on the third floor in the middle.

This room was different from the others, I noticed that it was larger and more spacious, and the entrance door was a bit like the large side-pull iron door used in the radiology department of a hospital to shoot fluoroscopy.

"Come in." Vice Minister Zhou took out the key and opened the heavy iron door. There are a lot of surveillance screens, and this is the monitoring room.

Although I was mentally prepared early in the morning, I still had some difficulty accepting the scene in front of me, almost all of the screens were those "people" like Captain Chen. It's a hell of a human being!

On each screen, there are different "people" who are still motionless, and if it weren't for the weak electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors around them, you wouldn't be able to imagine that they were still alive. They were all rotting and in a mess, unable to see any facial features, not even distinguish between men and women, and I felt in a trance, that this kind of scene could only be seen in shoddy horror films, and now it is a reality in front of me.

I noticed that there were no personnel on duty in the computer monitoring room.

"Why isn't anyone on duty here?" I asked Vice Minister Zhou beside me.

"The guards on duty don't want to go in here, you know, their condition... Truly... Not optimistic. "Vice Minister Zhou said it very tactfully." But Lao Lu would come over every hour to take a look. The uncle on the side nodded.

Actually, I can probably understand that no one can stay here all the time as if nothing happened to such a scene.

I looked at them one by one, and they were all horrific scenes of inhuman shapes.

"Why don't you just help them end their lives?" I couldn't bear it.

"Our country does not have a policy related to euthanasia, and in our country, we have no right to deprive anyone of their lives when we respect human rights."

"How do you know how they feel? Can such a life be considered alive? What's the difference between this and death? I suddenly couldn't control my anger.

"Anyway, they're still alive, and it's better to die than to live."

"You haven't died, how do you know that death must be bad? How do you know that it is better to die than to live? ”

"Captain Kui, although I don't understand life and death, none of us have the right to decide their own lives, nor do we have the right to decide. As long as there is a silver lining..."

"Hope?! You put them here, without any treatment, what hope do you have?! They're here at all..."Before I could say the word "wait for death", Yun Ximing pulled me aside, and the big philosopher next to me also kept winking at me.

I pursed my lips helplessly and stopped talking, I didn't dare to agree with this kind of answer, can it be regarded as respecting human rights by letting them live like this? I didn't want to argue with Vice Minister Zhou, so I had to continue watching quietly. Suddenly, a monitor caught my eye.

Unlike other display screens, where there is only one "person", this display screen, in addition to the person lying on the bed, there is also a vague translucent, looming figure next to it. I watched everyone, and they didn't notice the difference, they didn't seem to see the blurry figure at all. I looked at Thistle, and he nodded at me. I looked closely at the figure and finally recognized it.

Captain Chen!
