CHAPTER XXII
When Tang Shuxing and Gu Yan walked into the low cave below, they could only squat and walk, because they were too short, and it was very difficult to move in such a place with the height of the two of them. Who knew that he had just advanced a few meters away, and he heard the sound of hurried footsteps from the rear, Tang Shuxing stopped, took a flashlight to shine at the rear, and found that Bosen appeared there, still carrying his modified large-caliber shotgun.
Tang Shuxing saw Bosen's panting appearance and smiled: "What's wrong?" β
"You've forgotten what I said." Bosson stood at the top of the stairs and said, "Are you going to die yourself?" β
Gu Yan didn't pay attention to Bosen, he was very uncomfortable when he saw Bosen for the first time, and felt that the guy's appearance offended him.
Tang Shuxing shook his head and turned to look ahead: "How do you know that I am looking for death?" β
"I said something would happen as long as you enter the polar night." Bosson stood there with a gun in his hand.
Tang Shuxing continued to walk slowly towards the front: "There are still many days until the polar night, right?" How dangerous it can be now, you must be afraid that I will find something that I shouldn't have discovered, right? β
At this time, Bosen raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at Tang Shuxing: "I said, don't move forward anymore, otherwise you will die a miserable death!" β
At the same time as Bosen raised his gun, Gu Yan on one side also raised his gun to aim at him.
Tang Shuxing raised his hand to suppress Gu Yan's gun, and continued to walk forward: "He didn't dare to shoot, at best, he was threatening us." β
"Bah-" Bosson fired a shot to the side, and at the same time as the muzzle fire flashed, Tang Shuxing clearly saw a shadow flickering from the left side of the front, and disappeared again in an instant. Gu Yan didn't find out. Instead, he turned and glared at Bosen, who looked at him coldly, and reloaded, this time aiming at Tang Shuxing's head.
Tang Shuxing still didn't look back at Bosen, but just asked, "You seem to be very afraid that we will go inside, what are you afraid of?" Well? What are we afraid of finding? Dong Sanlu is not afraid, are you afraid? What have you done, I'm worried about being known, and I'm even more worried about being known by Dong Sanlu. β
Bosen was silent, Tang Shuxing finally turned around, looked at Bosen and said, "I'll say it one last time." . If you don't, I'm going to kill you. With that, Tang Shuxing pulled out his pistol and shot at the side of Bosen's butt. Knock the shotgun out of Bosen's hands.
At the same time as the gun was fired. The other end of the corridor in the distance. There were soldiers with guns, but none of them dared to take another half step, they were all afraid of the unknown thing in the darkness. Especially when the polar night comes.
Dong Sanlu also appeared there in a wheelchair, amplified the megaphone and said loudly: "Bosen, come back!" β
Bosson looked at Tang Shuxing, his face was not full of anger, but a kind of horror, fear of being found out or something, and then he leaned over and picked up the gun, turned around and walked away step by step.
After Bosen walked away, and after the footsteps gradually disappeared, Gu Yan looked at Tang Shu and said, "He seems to be very afraid of us moving forward." β
Tang Shuxing nodded: "Yes, he's not worried about us, he's worried about himself, and I think Dong Sanlu is starting to doubt him." β
Gu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, the meaning of Dong Sanlu's arrangement of us in this corridor is to deliberately let us discover something?" β
"Isn't that obvious?" Tang Shuxing walked slowly towards the front, "This corridor is so long, there are so many rooms around, only the first few rooms can accommodate people, but there are no soldiers, and the others would rather live in the hall outside than live in, which is enough to show how scared they are." β
"You're saying that the thing that attacked the soldier had something to do with Bosen?" Gu Yan asked again.
Tang Shuxing stopped, looked at the floor of the cave, and found that there were footprints on the ground, and many of them were very messy.
Tang Shuxing looked at the footprints and said: "Maybe it has something to do with it, Bosen said before that after they came, something would happen every polar night, maybe this thing itself has something to do with Dong Sanlu and them, maybe it was originally in this base, let me ask you, did your boss Zhan Tianya mention this satellite island to you?" β
"Nope." Gu Yan shook his head, "Never mentioned it." β
"That's right." Tang Shuxing continued to walk forward, "When the Asian and European troops retreated here, this place was the best place to defend, they didn't even go to the island, they just stayed on the October Revolution Island, why?" It shows that there is a problem on this island, and the problem is so big that the soldiers of the Asian and European troops, who have 10,000 people left, dare not come up lightly. β
Gu Yan also continued to move forward: "Why didn't Dong Sanlu say it clearly? β
"He's an old fox." Tang Shuxing followed the footprints on the ground and continued to walk, but a piece of sand appeared in front of him, Tang Shuxing reached out and touched it and found that the sand was very soft and dry, and there were many more footprints on it, Tang Shuxing gestured with his hand and determined that those footprints should be all soldiers', and the sole imprints were all uniform, but the size of the shoes was different.
Tang Shuxing then continued to walk forward, and after walking less than ten meters, he heard a slight sound of water, and then the two of them found an underground river that was no more than ten meters wide, Gu Yan took out a burning stick and burned it, looked around, shook his head and said, "There is an underground river under this island?" β
Tang Shuxing squatted by the underground river, touched the water with his hands, and found that the water had a certain temperature, it stands to reason that flowing water should not have such a high temperature, and besides, this turned out to be fresh water, not seawater.
"There are strange things every year, and this year there are a lot of them." Tang Shuxing took a sip of the water, "Fresh water, and it tastes like distilled water, we have to go upstream to see if there is anything upstream." β
Gu Yan nodded, and just as his hand holding the incendiary stick went around and swayed over the river, he felt that there was something in the river, and immediately grabbed Tang Shuxing's shoulder, lowered the incendiary stick, and tried to illuminate the things at the bottom of the river, and at the moment when he illuminated the bottom of the river, the two of them gasped - there was a corpse with a white body lying at the bottom of the river!
Tang Shuxing and Gu Yan looked at each other in surprise, Tang Shuxing also grabbed a burning stick, and after pulling it, he pointed downstream, signaling Gu Yan to look down, and he moved upstream.
The two of them went in two directions, observing as they went, and found that the bottom of the riverbed was full of corpses, unclothed. There was no decay, just whiteness, and the eyes of each corpse were wide open, looking above the river.
"Come back." Tang Shuxing pressed the intercom, Gu Yan quickly returned, squatting on Tang Shuxing's side and looking at the river.
Tang Shuxing was silent, just staring at the river, remembering the smell of the river water he drank before, and now he felt that the smell was not like some kind of distilled water, but something like a disinfectant potion formalin. Just close. But it's different, it's just that it smells like that, and in fact the water doesn't have any other strange smell.
"Bosson is worried that what we found should be the corpses in these rivers, right?" Gu Yan looked at Tang Shuxing. "The Boss is really right. Just follow you. Everywhere I went, it was full of strange things. β
Tang Shuxing shook his head: "It's not that simple, it doesn't look like they got so many corpses into it, and the corpses are not decomposed." The water doesn't taste weird to drink. β
Gu Yan frowned and looked at Tang Shuxing, because if it was him, he would probably vomit a long time ago, but Tang Shuxing seemed to want to taste it again at this time.
Gu Yan looked at the water again, it didn't matter at this glance, Gu Yan was so frightened that he sat on the ground, pointed to the river and said, "Those corpses are looking at us!" β
Tang Shuxing signaled Gu Yan not to move, and immediately grabbed the incendiary stick he had dropped, held it above the river, looked carefully, and found that the corpses at the bottom of the river were really moving, and their eyes fell on Tang Shuxing's incendiary stick.
Tang Shuxing deliberately moved the burning stick slowly to the left, and found that the eyes of the corpses were moving to the left, and then he tried several times, and really found that the eyes of those corpses were moving.
Tang Shuxing handed the incendiary stick to Gu Yan, took off his shoes, walked into the river without his trousers, grabbed the shoulders of a corpse and dragged it directly.
At the moment when Tang Shuxing dragged the corpse out of the water, the corpse suddenly began to struggle and swing like a fish, and after breaking free from Tang Shuxing, it slid into the water on its own, lying back in place in an orderly manner.
Gu Yan looked at Tang Shuxing in horror, but Tang Shuxing squatted there, looked at the corpse under the water, looked at it for a while, and then turned his head to look at Gu Yan and said, "It's scary, isn't it?" β
Gu Yan nodded: "It's really scary, what's going on?" β
"If you go upstream, you might be able to find the problem." Tang Shuxing then got up, grabbed his shoes and the dragon blade and leaned upstream, Gu Yan immediately followed, but his eyes were always on the river, because as he walked forward with the incendiary stick, he could clearly see that the corpses in the river were all squinting at him.
Gu Yan shuddered, swallowed his saliva, and tried not to look at it, but he couldn't control himself, and he always wanted to turn his head to look.
"Teach you how not to be afraid." Tang Shuxing said as he walked, "You look at the corpses below, keep staring, until you see that you are not afraid, you will naturally develop immunity." β
Gu Yan nodded, and did what Tang Shuxing did, staring all the time, never leaving his eyes, but the more he looked, the more frightened he became, and suddenly Tang Shuxing turned to look at him, and asked with a smile: "Are you about to pee?" β
Gu Yan nodded, but immediately shook his head, seeing Tang Shuxing's smiling face, knowing that he had been tricked, he was a little angry, pushed Tang Shuxing away and walked towards the front first, looking like a childβalthough he was indeed a child in Tang Shuxing's eyes.
Tang Shuxing grabbed Gu Yan and let him walk behind him, and said at the same time: "I'm teaching you to adjust your mentality, first of all, you have to know that if these things don't attack you, you should completely calm down, just as if walking in the morgue is a reason, and it's much warmer here than the morgue, right?" In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, there must be a gram in life, comprehend and understand this sentence, you don't have to worry, if there is a monster, just pick up the thing in your hand and fight it, it's much better than running with your pants and legs. β
Gu Yan whispered in the back: "I don't have as much experience as you, of course I will make mistakes, but many times once I make a mistake, the next step is death." β
Tang Shuxing sneered: "Do you know how the experience came from? If a person is always obedient, do you think he will have experience? No, things are too pediatric compared to what I experienced seven years ago. β
As he spoke, he stopped, for he had reached the end of the river, which was gushing out of a crevice under the rocks in front of him, the width of the crevice was the same as that of the underground river, and there were walls all around, and there was no way forward.
"You wait, I'll take a look." Tang Shuxing began to undress, and then grabbed the dragon lin blade and went down to the river, stepping directly on the corpses at the bottom of the river, and slowly walked towards the gap. (To be continued......)
