Chapter 117: The Skeleton of the Sapper
It was then that I realized that this pile of bones was just the tip of the iceberg, and behind it, at intervals, scattered bones leaned against the wall, or intertwined, or neatly arranged. All the way out of sight, I don't know how many corpses were lined up in the back.
I was stunned for a moment, but I still gasped, and then I covered my mouth and nose and walked to the nearest white bone and squatted down.
I put the flashlight in my mouth and groped around with the skeleton with one free hand. Out of its rotten coat, I pulled out what resembled a business card.
But I don't know if it's due to human factors or due to rot, and the business card is sticky. And I couldn't see the content clearly under the flashlight, so I simply handed it over to Boss Ye next to me - he is better at this.
Then I fumbled for the bottom of his shirt again. Who knows, the bottom of this skeleton will shatter when touched, and there are only two thin calf bones inside, connecting the foot bones.
No wonder the skeleton is leaning here in such a bizarre position, it doesn't even have a thigh bone!
Fighting the tingling nausea of my scalp, I pulled the two calf bones out of the torn fabric.
"Boss Ye, look, this person doesn't have a thigh bone." I gestured with two calf bones.
Boss Ye is cleaning up the slime and dust on his business card at the moment. However, he still took the opportunity to glance at it: "You look for it, it is impossible to have no thigh bones, you must be wrong." I'll get it done here and I'll tell you what's on the business card in a moment. ”
With that, Boss Ye lowered his head again and tinkered with the business card.
I wanted to speak and stopped, and I was speechless. I looked at the calf bone I was still holding in my hand and was about to put it back. At this time, the bone joint at the end of the calf bone made me stunned in place.
It stands to reason that there is a bone at the end of the lower leg bone that protects the joint, which we call the patella. No matter what, the patella will have a left and right pair. But on these two lower leg bones, only one side has a patella, and the other side is bare.
"Strange, even if I have a tibia and a fibula......," I muttered, and suddenly, my eyes widened, and I slapped my head violently—I was not holding the bones of my left and right legs, but a calf bone.
In this way, this person did not lose two thigh bones, but directly lost one leg and one thigh.
This is a very important piece of information, under what circumstances can a person lose a leg and a half?
I frowned, and my eyes shifted to the one next to the skeleton.
The reason I didn't plan to start with this skeleton in the first place was because it was so numb. It curled up against the wall in a particularly twisted position, and some bones even penetrated into the first skeleton.
I held back, reached out and leveled the skeleton and began to study it.
After a head-to-toe examination, I found that the body was missing a lower arm and lower leg, and that the junction between the upper arm and the lower arm and the thigh and lower leg was neat.
can cause such a situation, which means that the person's big and small legs and arms were directly cut off. Because only in this way will the bone incision be so neat.
But...... Ordinary knives can't do this kind of damage. What kind of thing can cut a person's bones in one fell swoop? Also, where did all the bones of these corpses go?
"Hmm...... That, Wang Hao, I cleaned up the business card. This looks like a company of engineers. Boss Ye walked over and handed me the business card at the same time.
Under the flashlight, some words were intermittently printed on the yellowed business card.
"3rd Engineer Regiment...... Wang ...... "My eyes widened, and I still couldn't see what was printed on the back.
Boss Ye was looking at the skeleton, and suddenly turned his head: "Don't look at it, the back is all oxidized, if it weren't for a protective case on the outside of the business card, I couldn't do anything." By the way, you just said what happened to these skeletons? ”
"Oh, even the bones are missing some bones, and some of these bones have flat cuts, as if they have been cut by something."
Speaking of which, for some reason, a grinning face full of fangs flashed in my mind, and it was biting down on its long mouth.
I shook my head violently, trying to clear myself up. But Boss Ye found out that something was wrong with me: "Huh? What's wrong with you? Dizziness and discomfort?"
I quickly waved my hand: "No, no, I'm fine." That's right
Do you see anything? ”
"It's not ......" Boss Ye hesitated for a while, looked up at the skeletons behind him, and said, "This platoon really looks like an engineer company, but how could they die here for no apparent reason, Ah Hao, did you miss anything?"
"I've checked everything that should be checked, and besides, it's all rotted into bones, and I can't check anything."
"That's just as well. Forget it, let's keep going, no matter how much this is consumed. As he spoke, Boss Ye stood up and pulled up the dirt under his feet with his feet at will.
Suddenly, he said "Huh": "There seems to be something buried here, Ah Hao, borrow a shovel." ”
Hearing this, I hurriedly found a shovel and handed it to him. After Boss Ye took it, he immediately began to dig the ground.
In a few moments, he threw the shovel and stooped down to pull something out of the pit he had just dug.
Boss Ye didn't know what he had dug up, and in an instant, there was a strong foul smell in the air.
I yelled and quickly covered my nose: "Damn, what the hell is this?" It stinks?"
"It looks like some kind of skin, no, it's too smelly." Boss Ye hurriedly threw the thing on the ground.
The moment the thing fell to the ground, a pool of liquid of unknown meaning flowed out of it and went straight to the feet of the two of us.
Suddenly, an even stronger stench hit my face, and I wanted to vomit. Dare to love this stall of water is the source of the stench.
"No, no, no, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I can't stay any longer." Boss Ye only dared to pinch his nose with one hand because he had pinched the skin in his hand, and it was estimated that he couldn't stand it now, so he ran into the fog.
I was still tied to a rope at this time, and his run made me lose my center of gravity immediately.
I reacted quickly to regain my steady, but the rope connecting me suddenly broke.
In an instant, I fell to the ground, and by coincidence, I fell directly onto the liquid.
"I'm grass!" I quickly stood up and wiped my face, the stench so intense that I vomited.
I finally recovered, and when I opened my eyes again, I was surprised to find ......
