Chapter 68: The Living Dead (text)
"Ah Meng, maybe there are clues to your father's investigation here, for anything suspicious, we have to investigate it carefully, and we can't let it go at all!" Chen Cripple said softly.
"Hmm!" Zhang Meng nodded.
Hearing Chen Cripple say this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, didn't he come here to find out the cause of his father's death? But he retreated from these things, and if he lost important clues because of this, I am afraid he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"Uncle Cripple, how do we get this corpse? Otherwise, smash the vat. ”
"This is not good, the most taboo thing in the tomb is to hit and smash, and the sound is likely to attract unclean things. Seeing that the water in the corpse's body has already been drained, it shouldn't be very heavy, so we can just lift him out. Ah Meng, go get two gloves and come out, don't touch this corpse......" Chen Cripple shook his head and said.
Zhang Meng hurriedly took out the gloves, handed Chen a pair of cripples, and wanted to give another pair to Zhao San, but this product didn't even raise his head, and told Zhang Meng very clearly, this kind of thing is not done.
Zhang Meng put on gloves in a fit of rage, and followed Chen Cripple to slowly carry the corpse out of the wine vat.
Although it has been a long time, the skin that has long since dried up is still a little tough. Pulling like this, this skin didn't crack, you know, even those mummies, their skin is also extremely fragile, as long as a little force, it will immediately shatter.
In this sense, at that time in the Western Han Dynasty, the processing technology of corpses had already surpassed that of ancient Egypt?
Zhang Meng's head was chaotic, and he carefully placed the corpse on the ground.
"There's something strange about this corpse, it's very likely that there's something hidden in it."
Chen Cripple naturally saw that the skin of this corpse was very strange, how could this technique be said? If it is really embalming, then this technology is so advanced that it definitely surpasses the ancient Egyptian civilization almost a thousand years later, which is simply unbelievable.
"Well, it should be with some kind of jade that this corpse can be preserved so well."
The sick ghost nodded in agreement.
In ancient times, many dazzling jade stones were the emperor's favorite items, but at that time there was no such thing as detecting radiation, and there was no existence of this concept, so some things that were regarded as rare and rare were often the catalyst for killing people. It is rumored that several famous jade in ancient times, such as Heshibi, belonged to jade with strong radioactivity.
This radiation kills all the bacteria in the body, and the corpse can be dehydrated and preserved without any embalming, which is also happening.
"Cripple, hurry up, don't stay near this corpse for too long!"
The sick ghost said to Chen Cripple with a solemn face. If it is really the corpse that has this kind of jade with strong radioactivity, then every second this ray will kill a large number of cells in the body, and the damage to the human body is absolutely huge.
"Ah Meng, there seems to be a small blade in my tool bag, you go and help me get it."
Chen lame grabbed the chin of the corpse, pinched it in the abdomen and chest, and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, so he said to Zhang Meng.
"It should be hidden in the stomach, and when I peel off the stomach of this corpse, I can see what is hidden......
Thinking that the corpse was about to be bloodied, Zhang Meng still felt a little stunned, and he walked to the side of the package and turned it up.
"Uncle Cripple, there's only one dagger here, look at this one, it doesn't seem to have a small blade."
"No, this blade is too big, and it is likely to destroy the corpse later. Strange, I remember that the blade I saw just now, but it must have fallen, wait for me to go over and take a look! ”
Chen Cripple walked over and said to Zhang Meng as he walked.
"Ah Meng, you go over and help me wipe the stomach of that corpse, there is a lot of corpse oil on it, otherwise the knife will slip later."
Zhang Meng pulled out a piece of cloth, he forcibly resisted the nausea, wiped it on the stomach of the corpse, and then sat aside.
At this time, those strange things in the wine vat before were still replaying in Zhang Meng's mind, and he was really a little creepy now, especially rubbing the stomach of this corpse, he actually felt as if there was a slight tremor inside, and he didn't know what was in this stomach.
"Uncle Cripple, be careful, there won't be a sea monkey hidden in this belly, right?"
Zhang Meng patted his chest and reminded Chen Cripple. If there is still a sea monkey hidden in this belly, then they may not be able to use it as food later.
"No, this sea monkey can't stand the noise, if there is a slight sound, it will wake up, even if there is a sea monkey, it will only die......"
Zhang Meng suddenly saw that the look on Chen Cripple's face suddenly became stiff, and the last few words were stubbornly unspoken.
Zhang Meng was a little puzzled, the sick ghost was also like seeing a ghost at this time, and his expression was indescribably frightened, which was a manifestation of extreme fear. Zhang Meng even saw the flesh on the sick ghost's face twitching involuntarily, as if he didn't dare to speak, just blinking his eyes desperately.
He panicked a little and looked around, but found nothing.
It can't be the corpse, right? Zhang Meng subconsciously turned his head and looked at the corpse on the ground.
When he turned around, he found an expressionless face staring at him, the corpse's eyes were actually open, and the two bony eyeballs were staring at Zhang Meng!
The 'corpse' suddenly opened its mouth wide, revealing the flat and blackened gums inside, and a foul smell rushed towards Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng screamed in horror, his pupils shrank violently, and he almost fainted directly, an ancient corpse from a thousand years ago now stood up alive and stared at him, which made him terrified, this 'corpse' staggered, and was about to bite Zhang Meng's neck.
"Bang!"
A few steel beads submerged into the chest of this 'ancient corpse', and the ancient corpse staggered, but its body did not pause at all, and its mouth continued to move towards Zhang Meng's neck.
Fortunately, this shot woke Zhang Meng up from the chaos, and with a hard slam of his feet, he kicked the corpse away, and he crawled to his feet.
Chen Cripple also arrived at this time, he picked up the folding shovel and landed on the corpse's spine fiercely, the corpse made a bone cracking sound, and the head immediately fell to the ground.
The head of the person who rolled to the ground was next to Zhang Meng, and his mouth was still open and closed, as if he wanted to bite Zhang Meng.
Chen Cripple directly used a folding shovel to blast the skull, and a stream of blood flowed out of the skull, but there was no sound in the end.
Zhang Meng's heart was beating violently, and he hadn't fully recovered yet, he was still recalling the scene that had just happened.
"This is not a corpse, this thing is not a zongzi!"
The sick ghost's face was also horrified, and his mood didn't seem to be much better than Zhang Meng's. If it is a corpse, the corpse will have hair on it, and the zongzi is generally called hair stiffness. Moreover, the corpse just now was too unbelievable, and after the head was cut off, it was still able to move.
"What kind of bullshit is this!"
In the past, if it was a sea monkey, there was also the corpse that was carried for the rats, and even the thousand-year-old female corpse by the river, Zhang Meng felt that it was acceptable.
But now that he saw a corpse walking around like a living person, his worldview suddenly felt a little subverted.
"This, it's kind of like a living ...... The Living Dead. Sure enough, there is something to do with Lop Nur! ”
Chen's face was very pale, and he trembled for a while before he cried and said a complete sentence.
