Chapter 64: Cremation in the cemetery
Bringing the signal light on, An Lin took a closer look at the surrounding terrain.
The Rongcheng area was originally built on the plain, and as a suburb of Rongcheng, the terrain is obviously relatively flat.
The cemetery is surrounded by green trees, but other than that, there are some weeds.
It is estimated that no one has taken care of this place for a long time, and An Lin looked at the weeds that were nearly half a meter high, and it was really difficult to find a person hiding inside.
In the one of the pillboxes closest to him, An Lin clearly felt a faint threat passing by from time to time.
Instead of stepping forward to greet the soldier, An Lin went directly to the cemetery.
Standing at the edge of the cemetery, the eyes are full of severed limbs, and the depth of this crater is estimated to be tens of meters.
To be able to build such a huge container in a few days is a huge project.
Compared to the rancid smell in the hospital morgue, An Lin felt an aura more, as if this pit was a black hole that devoured life, and the closer he got to death, the closer he was to death.
After a long time, An Lin couldn't help but sigh how many lives had been buried here.
The corpses of countless mutants exuded a breath of death, and these aura of death faintly gathered together, gradually forming a momentum, which is why the middle-aged man would say that every time he came here, he would feel a chill down his spine.
The dead air here has become so strong that it affects the surrounding environment and even the human spirit.
But what made An Lin puzzled was that the accumulation of so many mutant corpses should form a very strong corpse poison, but the corpse poison aura here was so thin that it was difficult to detect.
An Lin walked to several places in succession, and similarly, the smell of corpse poison in these places was not strong.
This shouldn't be, An Lin hesitated next to a bunker, how could so many mutants only have such a little corpse poison spilled out.
It can be said that from the beginning of the outbreak of the plague, An Lin has been dealing with mutants, and he is very clear about some special attributes of mutants.
When a mutant dies, the poison on their body is not stored in the corpse, but gradually spills into the air over time.
Of course, other mutants can also absorb these corpse poisons to speed up evolution, which is the most worrying thing at the moment.
Although humans can effectively kill these mutants with thermal weapons, there is no way to remove these corpse poisons, and so on, those mutants will only get stronger and stronger.
And the only Awakened person who has the ability to remove corpse poison is too small to be able to clean up these corpse poisons one by one.
Although An Lin didn't know why he absorbed corpse poison to complete his awakening, that ability was not something he could control at all.
After becoming an Awakened One, An Lin also tried to absorb those corpse poisons, but he was unsuccessful.
Every time those corpse poisons enter the brain domain, they will be assimilated by the divine consciousness, but this is not absorbed, this is to eliminate the corpse poison at the cost of consuming the divine consciousness, if the corpse poison is eliminated in this way, then it is estimated that every awakened person will languish, which is simply not worth the loss.
Inside the bunker, a young man was scanning the surroundings with a gun, and the person closest to him outside the bunker caught his attention.
The young man looked at An Lin from time to time, but he was full of doubts in his heart, this person seemed to be looking at the cemetery in a daze.
And An Lin had almost walked around the cemetery, and during this time, he had met with a few middle-aged men, but the more he observed this tomb, the more An Lin felt that it was strange here.
The corpse poison in the corpses of these mutants has disappeared, and An Lin will not believe that these corpse poisons have been assimilated by the awakened, so there is only one possibility, these corpse poisons have been transferred to another place.
If this is the case, then the dean's speculation seems to be logical.
Could it be that someone is cultivating with the help of this place, but its methods are too vicious, and even the living have to absorb it, thinking of this, An Lin's face was gloomy.
"Woo, woo, woo~" The voice kept coming.
Rows of vehicles are coming from the direction of the base, and the most conspicuous of them are the iconic fuel tankers.
At this time, so many cars entered the cemetery at the same time, and most of them were tankers, and it is estimated that they were going to be cremated.
There were a full line of vehicles around the tomb, and the bus headed by it turned around and returned here.
At this time, the door of the bus was open, and a group of people walked down one after another.
The person at the head turned out to be Ge Yu, the old man Jia Huairen and Fang Tianhua's cold-faced ghost followed, Fang Ying, Yang Yong and Kong Fei were also among them, these were several members of the ability group that An Lin knew, and the others were obviously awakened.
It seems that the ability group also attaches great importance to this cremation, and actually dispatched so many awakened people.
"An Lin, why are you here?" Ge Yu had already discovered An Lin, and now he got out of the car and immediately walked over.
"Well, I heard it's haunted, so I'm idle and have nothing to do, so come and hang out. For Ge Yu, An Lin is not easy to lie, after all, his identity has been investigated clearly.
"It's really nonsense, if you don't stay in the ward to recuperate, and you're in the mood to take care of this matter, you really don't like to live for a long time. Ge Yu reprimanded.
"Isn't this Captain Ge, with Captain Ge's strength, what monster can make waves. ”
"Hmph, when the time comes, I don't have the energy to care about you, you better ask for more blessings. ”
"Does Captain Ge really believe that there are ghosts?" An Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, the members of the ability group should have already explored this place, and it was not surprising that Ge Yu knew something.
Ge Yu frowned, and did not answer An Lin's words, but took out a megaphone and shouted at the cemetery: "All members are in place, all members are in place." ”
At this time, all the doors were opened, and in addition to the fuel tanker drivers, An Lin also saw some mechs jumping out of the truck.
It wasn't until now that An Lin knew that these mecha were all people who had broken through the martial realm, which was a civilian force temporarily called by the military, and it was also a force that could not be ignored.
The ability of people who break through the martial realm is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and with the power of the mecha, even ordinary awakened people have to temporarily avoid the edge, which can be described as a sharp weapon for close combat.
In fact, if the Awakened wear mechas, they will definitely be able to exert the abilities of these mechas, but there are also awakened people who will choose to become mecha warriors.
Although the mecha can enhance the power of the Awoken, it binds the body of the Awoken, which is contrary to the original intention of the Awoken to evolve itself.
The power enhancement of the mecha to the low-level awakened is limited, and there is little growth, compared to those high-level awakened, these iron bumps are like paper paste, and there is no comparison at all.
For this reason, the ability group also specifically stipulates that as an awakened person, it is strictly forbidden to touch these iron lumps, and the military does not allow the awakened to become mecha warriors.
These mecha warriors jumped directly into the giant pit with a long pipe, and as streams of gasoline poured into the graveyard, the pungent smell of gasoline gradually filled the surroundings, and even the dead air was diluted a lot.
Looking at the busy mecha warriors, An Lin couldn't help but think of Zhou Miao, as the first batch of mecha warriors at the beginning of the outbreak of the plague, I don't know what is going on now, maybe one of the mecha below is him.
The whole process of filling the oil lasted about half an hour, and compared to such a huge pothole, the oil is estimated to not even fill the bottom of the pit, but this should be enough, the gasoline is only used as an accelerant, and it is the body itself that is really burning.
"Ignition. ”
With Ge Yu's loud shout, the cemetery suddenly burst into flames.
It's not the first time An Lin has seen such a spectacular sea of fire, and the fire in the alley town was even more fierce than this.
Bursts of black smoke kept drifting into the sky, and the flames gradually extended from the edge of the cemetery to the center, and the entire sea of fire was like a huge wheel of flames, and the cold atmosphere around the cemetery was washed away by the heat wave that rushed to the face.
As the cemetery burns in full swing, the smell of coke is getting stronger and stronger, forcing people to stay away.
Looking at the pit that had been flooded with flames in the distance, An Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, in a few days, 99% of the mutants in Rong City were about to disappear, this is the end and a new beginning.
Watching the black smoke rise into the sky in the cemetery, An Lin seemed to see the liberation of one soul after another.
"Even ghosts will be wiped out in this raging fire. A soldier stepped out of the bunker with a look of hope in his eyes.
"yes, the ghost will probably be burned to slag too. Although An Lin doesn't know if the legend about ghosts circulating in the cemetery is a rumor made by someone with a heart, after this fire, all rumors will come to naught.
In the dark night, everyone was attracted by the flames, but they didn't know that the sky of the cemetery was full of smoke at this time.
The black smoke from the burning did not dissipate in the air, but stopped in mid-air, not even in the breeze.
Seemingly pulled by a mysterious force, the black smoke above the cemetery had a faint sign of convergence.
As the mutant's corpse burned, black smoke was constantly released, and in the sky of the cemetery, the smoke gradually condensed.
Ge Yu looked at the burning flames, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Could it be that we are all wrong?" ”
"No, if one person senses the wrong thing and says the past, it is impossible for the three of us to sense the error at the same time. Jia Huairen's face was solemn.
"The other party should still be hiding in the grave. ”
"Anyway, even I'm a little skeptical of my feelings. Fang Tianhua's cold face showed a trace of incomprehension.
"Is that divine consciousness fluctuation really created out of thin air?"
Hearing Fang Tianhua's doubts, Ge Yu and Jia Renhua fell silent, this was a question that even they couldn't think clearly.
"Maybe the other party used some kind of concealment to deceive us and the other three. Jia Huairen's eyes lit up.
"Either way, it seems to be beyond our reach. Fang Tianhua rarely showed a hint of melancholy.
"Actually, I believe that this is an illusion, after all, the gathering of dead qi around the cemetery has gradually formed the momentum of heaven and earth, which is already a formation in itself. ”
"It's normal for this kind of formation to affect our minds a little, and how can those ordinary soldiers around them withstand the power of the formation, the haunting is just an illusion they generate. ”
"Although Captain Ge's inference is not unreasonable, I always feel that this matter is a little strange. Old man Jia supported his chin with one hand, rubbed his eyebrows with the other, and was closing his eyes and thinking.
