Chapter 14 Factory

Wipe her hands clean, An Jie left the corpse and continued to move forward.

"I'd love to have an autopsy though...... But unfortunately there is no time now, so let's move on, there is no important thing yet. ”

Bruce replied, "Yes." ”

He was already regretting it in his heart now, he shouldn't have listened to the second lieutenant if he knew this, and there were only two people to investigate. Even if it will delay the preparation task of the first company of the magic guide, you should bring the whole second platoon here!

But now, looking at the ensign who was quite interested, it was obvious that it was impossible to persuade her to turn back.

So Bruce had no choice but to move on.

It didn't take long for the two to make a new discovery. The discoverer was still An Jie, who was passing by a meadow when her right leg suddenly slammed on a piece of ground.

Anjie immediately realized that her mechanical prosthetic leg had stepped on a steel object.

Sweeping away the dirt beneath their feet, a portal appeared in front of Anjie and Bruce's eyes.

"Looks like there's a basement here, guess what's down there? Bruce. ”

"With all due respect, second lieutenant. I guess there's absolutely nothing good down there. ”

"Tut-tut! Contrary to my suspicions. ”

An Jie opened the iron door and walked down the exposed stairs.

"I guess there's something good buried down here!"

As you descend the stairs, the kerosene lamps lit on the walls on both sides make the light here unexpectedly bright. They didn't take long to get to the bottom.

There was a narrow passage in front of him, a bit like one in a trench, and Bruce had to hunch over it...... But for An Jie, this height is just right.

Crossing the road, what appeared in front of the two of them was a three-way intersection.

"Which way?"

Anjie tossed a coin and caught it, and it was heads.

"Left."

Turn left and cross the corridor on the left, and a dark room appears in front of the two of them.

Anjie: "............"

"Lamp...... Lamp...... Where is the switch for the light? Do you know? Lieutenant? ”

"The switch is on your right, but I suggest you be prepared to press it."

Bruce felt a pang of discomfort from Anjie's words.

"Ensign, what do you see?"

"Corpses."

“…… How much? ”

“…………”

An Jie, who had night vision, picked up a head from under her feet and said lightly: "The whole room...... Both. ”

"Smack!"

Sergeant Bruce, who was ready to do so, turned on the electric light in the room, and the scene inside the room was brutally reflected in his eyes.

"Gross!"

He threw up directly.

An Jie, who played with the skeleton in his hand, said: "Although they are all people who have been dead for a long time, they are treated like this after death...... It's miserable......"

As far as the eye can see, it is all corpses. An Jie counted it, and this amount was no longer what one or two cemeteries could hold.

Without exception, the corpses had one or two holes in their bodies, some of which were rotten to the point of incompleteness, and the missing parts of the body were sewn with wire.

"This technique ......" An Jie raised the arm of a corpse, carefully looked at the sutures and said, "It's purely handmade, otherwise I wouldn't have sewed the wrong hand." ”

She tugged at it, and easily pulled the arm off.

"If you look closely, you'll see that the piles down there are all incomplete, corpses."

An Jie looked up and said, "The whole one is hanging from the ceiling......"

Above her head, on the ceiling, also near the ground, was a row of corpses that looked very intact. There are only a few stitches on the corpses, most of which are concentrated in the eyes and mouth. The head was the same as the other corpses, with several holes. An iron hook pierced the back of their necks and hooked their skulls, hanging them securely from the ceiling.

Looking down her head, An Jie's gaze passed over her upper body, which was nothing special, and fell on her lower body.

"There were men and women, but the women's straighteners were sewn on. Male...... After cutting it off, it was sewn on. ”

An Jie frowned when she looked at it.

“…… It's miserable. ”

"Bruce, give me the camera."

Bruce was still retching and ignored her.

An Jie had no choice but to continue the investigation first.

Then she found a cement mixer in the corner of the room.

"Assuming these corpses are 'failures', then the cement mixer is used to deal with these failures?"

An Jie leaned her head close to the opening of the blender, reached in and scraped.

"The cement that remains inside has dried and hardened, and it looks like it hasn't been used for a while."

Suddenly, her hand touched something soft.

"Huh?"

Anjie pulled the soft thing out of the blender.

It's a big, white and chubby bug.

The big bug looked at An Jie with big black and cute eyes, squirming and wriggling on her hand.

"Yo, do you know if there's anyone here?"

An Jie teased the big white bug with interest, she asked this question itself was just a joke, but the big bug raised his head, and his black head swayed left and right, as if to say, "No one." ”

An Jie became interested.

"Do you know where these bodies came from?"

The big bug shook his head.

"Any idea what they're being used for?"

The big bug nodded.

"Can you tell me?"

The big bug shook his head.

An Jie realized that she had asked a stupid question, so she changed her words: "Can you take us there?" Where were they taken last? ”

The big bug nodded, and the black skull pointed in the direction An Jie came.

"Is that one of the two forks in the road? Is it right or front? ”

The big bug's skull swung again, pointing to the right.

"On the right? Thank you. ”

Anjie placed it on a corpse, and the big bug nodded happily at her, and then plunged headlong into the corpse's brain.

"Gone, Bruce."

"Hmm......"

Bruce followed behind An Jie with a pale face, and his godless eyes showed that his current state of mind was extremely unstable.

An Jie felt that she should say something to comfort and comfort him.

"Sergeant, you don't need to be scared at all, these are just corpses."

"But......" Bruce growled, "I see, ensign, after you electrocuted them, it's, they'...... It's moving......"

"And then?"

"Huh?"

"A moving corpse is just a corpse."

An Jie sneered: "There is no reason why humans will lose to a corpse, and there is no reason why a soldier will lose to a corpse!" Sergeant, what is written in the first article of the Imperial Army manual? ”

“…… The soldier is the instrument of the empire, the saber of the conqueror, the one who abandons all reason and devotes himself to his mission. ”

"Look, don't you know very well?"

An Jie said: "Fear makes people strong, but excessive fear will only make people cowardly. And cowardice is like an all-pervasive stream of water, and a sharp sword will rust under the wash of water. ”

"And the rusty saber...... There is no value in existence! ”

An Jie said coldly: "What if we are facing a group of moving corpses? Even if they look horrible?! Their rotting brains don't understand the meaning of mission, and their rusty bodies don't compare to the Empire's razor-sharp swords! ”

"If I'm still scared, and I'm too scared to fight, then sergeant, it's time for me to consider changing to an adjutant."

Bruce was silent for a moment, then said, "Ensign...... Rest assured, I'm still sharp. ”
