"What's wrong, what's next?" Seeing that I looked at the bottom blankly and there was no reaction, Yang Mengqing couldn't help but lower his voice and asked.

I took a deep breath, not knowing how to describe the situation, so I stepped back and said, "You'd better see for yourself!" You have to be mentally prepared, though. ”

She looked at me suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine I was selling in my gourd, so she leaned to the edge of the high platform to take a look, her face suddenly turned green, and then she squatted on the ground and vomited wildly.

I smiled helplessly and patted her on the back, and after she vomited, she immediately turned around and glared at me, and asked viciously: "You did it on purpose!" I waved my hand innocently and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm here for your own good, anyway, I have to go down anyway, it's always good for you to be mentally prepared in advance." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she retched for a while, and her whole body was much more depressed, and her face was pale, like a person who had been sick for a long time. I saw her miserable appearance, and my heart suddenly balanced a lot, and my heart said that I was much worse than you just now, and that's it, everyone is even.

The scene in the cave was terrible, the dead bodies were full of terrible deaths, some of them were directly twisted off, some were torn in half, and the blood mixed with various internal organs flowed all over the ground, and the degree of disgusting was worse than that of the tower. The only difference is that there are no living dead here, all the corpses are normal people, looking at this number, I am afraid that it is not only the security team that died, but also many ordinary townspeople.

Due to the distance, we could not see the appearance of the deceased, and to make sure that the Taoist priest and Lin Qiao'er were not among these people, we had to go down. Although I don't think the Taoist priests die so easily, I am always uneasy when I don't know for sure with my own eyes.

After about ten minutes, Yang Mengqing finally relieved herself, but she said that she would not go down, so she had no choice but to go down alone to investigate the situation. I told her to be prepared to shoot for support as soon as I was in danger below. As soon as she heard that she didn't have to go down, she was crazy with joy, and nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice. Having learned the lesson on the bridge, this time I left my heavier backpack on the high platform, and only took a shotgun, so that I could slip away at any time in case of danger.

Ready, I held a gun in one hand and a wooden ladder erected on the rock wall in the other, and carefully descended to the bottom of the cave.

I covered my nose and searched the entire cave, counting, there were a total of seventeen corpses in the cave, and there were no Taoist priests and Lin Qiao'er among them. I didn't let this relent, but I was even more worried, because this cave was not a complete enclosed space, it was connected to a vein of water on one side, and there were two man-made tunnels on the wall on the other side, and I didn't know where it led.

Looking at the viscous blood that kept flowing into the water and dyed the entire body of water red, I suddenly understood why the downstream river water was dyed red, this water vein flowing through the cave must be the upper reaches of the Fengqing River, but to dye such a large river that red, this amount of blood is absolutely not enough, there must be corpses nearby.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but worry about the safety of the Taoist priest and Lin Qiao'er. There was no light in the other two mines, and it was so dark that it was naturally impossible for me to go in alone, so I greeted Yang Mengqing, told her the following situation, and then told her that she had to come down, because Xiao Na and they were likely to go to these two mines.

She was quite reluctant, but it was a matter of Cortana's life and death, and she finally reluctantly came down, but as soon as she reached the bottom of the cave, she was so disgusted that she almost threw up again.

I hurriedly helped her to a place where there were less corpses and blood, and after a while, she barely managed to adapt to the double impact of smell and sight, pointed to the iron fence on the side of the wall and said, "That's where they keep the living dead, and these people, most of them are not vigilantes!" ”

Yang Mengqing's words confirmed my guess, Lin Qiao'er was captured by the security team, and most of the dead here were townspeople, so there are two possibilities: one is that the security team fled back to their refuge point in Yushugou with Lin Qiao'er, but the monster that followed found here, and the townspeople hiding here and some of the security team did not have time to escape and were killed by the monster, but most of the evacuees took advantage of the chaos to escape the clutches of the monster, or fled into the two mines in front of them, or retreated the same way. This is evidenced by the gold falling from the high platform and the bloody footprints at the two mine crossings.

If this is the case, then Lin Qiao'er is very likely to have escaped safely, and even escaped from the control of the security forces by taking advantage of the chaos. Of course, it is also possible that in the chaos, the people of the security team escorted Lin Qiaoer to escape from one of the three escape routes, although they escaped from the clutches of the monster, they were still in the hands of the security team.

The second situation is similar to the first, the only difference is that the Taoist priest who also broke into the cave rescued Lin Qiao'er from the hands of the security team, but the monster chasing after him caused panic, and the security team had no time to take care of the Taoist priest and ran for their lives.

In either case, I can't tell if the Taoist priests are out of danger or not, because I don't know if the monster ended up chasing the same way they ran, or if there was more than one monster, no matter which way they ran from, it was the same, and whether they could escape or not was completely up to luck.

Just when I was thinking about which road to follow, Yang Mengqing seemed to have found something, and suddenly pointed to those corpses and shouted, "Look, those corpses are disappearing!" ”

I hummed and turned my head to look, and sure enough, I saw that the corpses were disappearing...... No, it's melting, to be exact. I approached a corpse and looked at it, and my face couldn't help but change, only to see that there was a layer of red gelatinous material attached to the wound of the corpse, exactly the same as the wound of the three corpses that fell into the river with me, and it was this layer of gelatinous material that was constantly corroding the corpse into blood.

In an instant, I seemed to understand something, and my heart said that I, and the one who chased the security team all the way to here is probably the kind of bloody corpse monster that is dry all the way, but what is that thing, could it be that the corpse that made me careful in the Taoist priest's message refers to this thing? Oh my God, if it's really that monster, wouldn't we be chasing the monster's ass when we go to the Taoist priest now? It's no different from sending you to death!

I felt a chill in my heart, and I didn't know what to do when I looked at the mine! Yang Mengqing saw that my face was ugly, and hurriedly asked me what was wrong, I told her what I thought, and she agreed with my concerns, saying that since this is the case, then we might as well go out the same way, we didn't meet the monster when we came in, that means that the way out is safe, leave this ghost place first and then make plans. I knew she couldn't stand the bloody scenes, but she had a point, so I agreed.

Just as we were about to leave, Yang Mengqing kicked something and almost fell. I grabbed her, looked down, and found that it was a wooden box, about the same size as the grenade box in the war movie, judging from Yang Mengqing's reaction to kicking it, this box was quite heavy, and I don't know what it contained. However, the box was stained with melted corpse blood, and I didn't know if the red gum was poisonous, so I didn't plan to touch it.

Just as I was pulling Yang Mengqing and preparing to leave, I found that I didn't pull her, and her hands were trembling.

I thought something had happened to her, and when I looked back, I saw that her lips were trembling and her whole body was trembling, but it was not a reaction of fear, but it seemed to be caused by extreme excitement. I hurriedly asked her what was wrong, she looked at me, pointed to the box, and said in a trembling voice: "Box, golden ......"

"You mean, there's gold in this box?" I was stunned at first, but then I reacted and asked with wide eyes, unable to believe my ears. Yang Mengqing once said that there were three boxes with golden bumps in this cave, but what I didn't expect was that this box had not been transferred until now.

Still not convinced of the gold in the chest, I cracked the wooden wedge on the outside of the box with the handle of my shotgun. The moment I opened the lid, my heart almost jumped out, until my eyes were completely filled with rows of golden stirrup lumps, I almost suffocated, my consciousness almost stopped, and there were only three words left in my whole mind: Fortune!
