Chapter 3: Dark Shadows
"There is no smell of alcohol on his body, let alone other pungent smells that cover up, big brother, you should also know that if this brother of yours ran out and drank wine secretly, don't say how much, even if it is a little bit, he will volatilize a very strong smell of wine, this kind of smell, let alone drinking, even if you don't drink, you can smell it!"
"I don't think I really ...... drink"
The middle-aged man sniffed at the sturdy man, and it was really as the man with glasses said, except for the smell of sweat, there was no other smell.
"Big brother, I really didn't drink, and I didn't talk nonsense!"
The strong man grinned, his expression very helpless.
"Then why don't you tell me what happened?"
The middle-aged man let out a low roar, feeling that the situation was a little serious.
The temperament of his own brother, the middle-aged man still knows better, if he is not alcoholic, he is relatively honest and sincere, and he will not tell nonsense.
"Big brother, you know, didn't I go to the rear of the engine just now, but just where I arrived, I just walked to the position of the gears, and found several corpses, lying in the No. 1 car near the gears, not to mention how scary!"
"Lying in bed? Can you tell me, how many corpses did you see? ”
Lin Mo clasped his hands in his arms, looking full of interest.
His voice was small, ensuring that no fourth person could be heard except for him and the stout man, the middle-aged man.
Of course, there is no fourth person here either.
But Lin Mo was used to it.
"Let me think about it...... I remember...... There seemed to be five corpses, and most importantly, they all seemed to be wearing police uniforms! ”
The sturdy man scratched his head, his expression still a little apprehensive.
"Are you sure they're all wearing police uniforms!"
"I'm sure!"
The sturdy man frowned and thought for a moment, and then replied solemnly.
"They seem to be the security personnel of the engine, usually working 24-hour shifts, eating, drinking and Lazar live here, responsible for ensuring the basic safety of the engine, although it is impossible for even a fly to come in here!"
"The security personnel of the engine died without warning!?"
Lin Mo frowned.
Before the apocalypse, he used to be a private detective, and he came here because he had awakened the scarce ability of repair.
The peculiarity of his previous profession made him feel the strangeness in the air even more.
Without warning.
The death of all the security personnel responsible for the rear of the engine is not insignificant.
The engine is known as the safest place in the future base, and now, this safest place is actually dead?
Doesn't this mean that this is the safest place...... It's completely unsafe.
"What should we do now?"
The sturdy man spoke, looking nervous.
"First of all, be sure to notify the person in charge of the base immediately, and secondly, I suggest that a few of us go and make sure!"
Lin Mo made his own suggestion.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
The middle-aged man on the side nodded, equally flustered.
……
……
Compared to the other compartments inside the engine, the first compartment is undoubtedly much smaller.
There are no seats, but only beds on two levels.
It's very similar to a sleeper train car.
But in Lin Mo's opinion, there are some differences, and as for the specific differences, he can't say for a while.
The bed was covered with snow-white sheets, and the quilt was placed at the head of the bed like a perfectly cut tofu block.
"This place is so cold, it's like a giant freezer!"
He let out a big breath, and it was all white mist visible to the naked eye.
This indicates that the temperature in this place is likely to be in the lower teens, or even lower.
You know, to make sure the engine doesn't freeze, the heating is on 24 hours a day.
"Look, what's that?"
That's when it happened.
The middle-aged man's voice suddenly came.
He trembled, his face frightened, and his left hand pointed straight ahead.
Lin Mo immediately looked in the direction of the other party's finger.
It was a glass window.
Through the thin glass window in front of you, you can clearly see that not far ahead, that is, the location of the engine gears, there is some pitch-black liquid slowly flowing out.
The liquid was viscous and continuous, like ink, and as the black liquid fell, there was a pungent smell in the air.
The smell was so fishy that you could smell it even through the glass.
Now, there is no need to be warned, almost everyone has noticed the anomaly
"What does it smell like, it stinks!"
Lin Mo grinned and covered his mouth and nose tightly.
The next moment.
He was shocked to find that in front of the glass window, those viscous black liquids were actually slowly gathered together and slowly flowed in as if they were alive.
Lin Mo stared at the black liquid tightly, and his heart almost instantly rose to his throat.
Fortunately, although this black liquid looked extremely weird, nothing terrible happened, except that it soaked through a third of the iron plate like a normal liquid.
The only difference is that the black rain continues to spread, constantly eroding the splints inside the engine, soaking it in pitch black.
As the black rain spread, all of them hurriedly retreated, for fear of getting a trace on their bodies.
This thing is too evil, unknown and terrifying, like a gelatinous single-celled life form, completely subverting the worldview of everyone present.
"Whoop, whoop, whoop......"
"Whoop, whoop, whoop......"
In the air, a faint sound of violent gasps came violently.
"What's that?"
Lin Mo roared, clutching a mountain axe that had been bladed in his hand.
Middle-aged men and sturdy men are even more panicked and at a loss.
"Whoop, whoop, whoop......"
"Whoop, whoop, whoop......"
No one answered them, and there were, just voices that resembled a rapid wheezing.
"Zizi Zi ......"
"Zizi Zi ......"
Something even more terrifying happened, falling with a third rapid gasp.
Above the heads of Lin Mo and the others, the originally bright incandescent bulb suddenly made a crackling sound.
"Snap ......"
The sound didn't last long, and after just one sound, the incandescent lamp, which was originally made of super-tough composite materials, exploded into a pile of glass slag out of thin air......
Lin Mo and the others were about to get to know it in an instant.
"Hiss ......"
And that's not all.
In a trance, a moment before the lights went out, Lin Mo suddenly saw a figure as ink-like and two meters tall flashing by.
The black shadow doesn't seem to have facial features!!
