Chapter 60: The Unknown Female Corpse
This wasn't Russell's first time in a mine, but it was the first time he had gone so deep underground.
Along the way, he followed closely by Hooknose, the leader of the squad, whose life was the most expensive, and it was safer to follow.
As the 19-member team continued to go deeper, the wires and lights overhead had reached the end of the tunnel, and the inside of the mine tunnel was pitch black, and it could only be lit by the miner's lamp on the helmet.
Russell remembered that Leon, the head of the miners, had warned him that a mine without wires was dangerous, and that it would be difficult to get out alive if you got lost here, even for experienced old miners.
Because people are in the darkness of total enclosure, the sense of direction will fail, and you think you are walking in a straight line, but you are actually spinning in place.
"Captain, we didn't have a guide...... Russell found a bad situation, there was not even an old miner in the team, which was too bold.
"Don't mind, I won't joke with my life, I have to trust my companions, they are not ordinary people." Hooked nose was a figure behind him, and pointed to a soldier leading the way: "Because you are not a member of the official team and have not signed the confidentiality regulations, I can only tell you too much." His code name is 'Maps', and with him we will never get lost. β
The code name is related to ability, Russell guessed the ability of the 'map' after a little thought, and did not add 'cannon' after the two 'maps', so it can be speculated that the opponent lacks attack power. Even so, it is a very useful accessibility and an indispensable member of the team when performing special tasks.
So what should I call my code name......
Changeling?
Man with a thousand faces?
After continuing to walk for five minutes, about five minutes, Russell silently counted about three hundred times in his mind, and the team arrived at the destination of the mission.
This is the end of a mine road, with obvious traces of human excavation, and another mine that extends 50 meters back. Instead of choosing that one, the 'map' stopped before the dead end and made a gesture towards the hook nose to complete the mission.
This is the mine where Leon discovered the gold mine, and it was later confirmed that there was no fart...... It can't be said that the composition of the fart contains methane, and it just so happens that the most important thing in the mine is methane.
Out of the group came a soldier of medium stature, his ear pressed against the wall of the mine, and he raised his hand to listen. Without the hook nose explanation, Russell can also see that the ability of the person in front of him is also an auxiliary.
"He's 'radar', the ears of the team, probably the best hearing man in the world......" hooked nose with a respirator and a muffled voice.
Five minutes later, 'Radar' shrugged, solid walls, no hidden mechanisms, and this was indeed a dead end.
The search stalled, and Hooknose was depressed to discover that the truth was not as simple as he had imagined. Convinced that his reasoning was correct, there must be some hidden secrets in this mine, he scattered everyone to search, and in order to prevent the entrance and exit from being triggered, he had to make sure that there was a teammate in sight.
Russell followed Hooknose and looked around with the help of the miner's lamp on his helmet, finally fixing his gaze on a crack in the rock at the top of the mine.
Look at the traces, this crack was created during the excavation of the mine!
Hooknose also saw the gap in the rock wall along the light, and when he didn't see any movement, the team members quickly gathered. They set up a 'radar' to let him listen to whether the other side of the stone wall was hollow, and the result was still nothing.
Russell looked at the crack with a solemn face, and his sixth sense told him that the truth about spiders was here, but they didn't find the right way to open the door.
In the squad, another soldier stepped out, took out a dagger and slashed it in the palm of his hand, and then stuck it to the crack.
Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, a strange scene appeared, red blood spread across the walls, splitting into silk threads like living creatures, and then swimming out of complex lines.
In the end, a blood-red six-pointed star array was revealed, a faint light dispersed, and the blood was evaporated, except for the corner that was cut off by the crack, the blood still maintained its fresh color.
"He's a 'dessert', and his blood can give a lot of supernatural powers, and it's irresistibly delicious for many monsters......"
Hooknose's tone was a bit stiff, judging by his experience with the supernatural, this was a sealed place buried deep underground, and a broken six-pointed star meant that the seal was expired, or was invalidating.
Russell also saw that this was a seal, he had never been exposed to magic and other powers, but living in the era of the information explosion, he had watched a lot of film and television works, novels, and anime on related themes.
The question is, who is the one who broke the seal?
Russell's first thought was the miner Leon, the spider appeared just after he claimed to have discovered the gold mine, not that Leon was behind it, but there is an eighty percent chance that this thing broke a corner of the seal when digging here.
The garbage seal is not strong at all!
Russell silently complained that the moon is not all foreign round, if it is in China...... Well, there are no longer a few evil ghosts and old demons who have escaped from the seal.
What did the big guy who sealed the demons think back then, wouldn't it be good to kill them directly, but he had to leave a tail for future generations.
As soon as something involves the occult, it becomes very unreasonable, and Hooknose begins to ponder a retreat and let the professionals handle it, and his team is okay with mutated creatures, but blind with ghosts.
However, just as Hooknose gave the order to return the same way, the ground suddenly rumbled and shook, and not only the ground, but the entire mine road trembled.
The rubble fell, and everyone leaned against the walls of the mine and did not dare to move, praying that the mine would not collapse.
Russell held on to the wall, and although he had no sense of direction, he could not find east, west, north and south, but he still felt that the mine road he was in was moving. Like the corner of a turntable, it rotated to another place.
Squeak Squeak ββββ
The shaking stopped, and the end of the mine, which had been empty, was covered by a glimmer of golden light.
It's a gold mine!
The breathing of several soldiers became heavy, and they involuntarily took steps in a greedy manner. The hook nose snorted coldly, and the figures of these people stiffened and retreated to the same place.
On the edge of the gold mine, a straight and dead road appeared, which was also excavated, but not by people, but by giant spiders.
A faint light appeared from the end of the road, and the hooked nose glanced at the 'map', who nodded and led the way, and one of his teammates pulled out his dog-legged knife, apparently a combatant.
The road was not long, it was dug upwards in the form of a slope, and the team reached the exit in less than thirty seconds.
Suddenly it became clear in front of me that this was a huge space similar to a karst cave, with thousands of strange stalagmites connected up and down to form strangely shaped stone pillars. The walls emitted a single glow, illuminating the square-like cavern, which was more than thirty meters high.
Everyone didn't miss the beautiful scenery, and they were immediately attracted by the bones all over the ground.
The bones of human beings, because of their age, are dark in color and layered, and they cannot be counted at all. The bones in the bottom layer had fused with the ground, and the bones piled on top of it had become very fragile, and the hollow holes in the skulls made people's scalps tingle.
"What happened here?"
The hooked nose's face is very good, tracing the history of American imperialism is only about 200 years, and the time to pile up the corpses definitely exceeds this number.
"Look for any clues nearby, and we'll get out of here as soon as possible." The hooked nose inexplicably gave birth to a sense of boredom, which made him a little uneasy, but he had to gain something to come.
The team members scattered in pairs, stepping on the bones and making a crackling explosion, and after a while, an incredible exclamation came from the center of the team.
"Boss, you'd better come and see this ......"
The hooked nose strode over, Russell followed, and many team members also leaned over, and after seeing it clearly, they all looked at each other.
In the pile of rotted bones, a white arm was exposed, with slender fingers, reaching straight into the sky, as if trying to hold something.
Hook sniffed, he didn't know how many years it had existed, but it was long enough to corrupt everything, what was going on with this fresh arm......
Is there any other way in?
Faced with the inquiring eyes of the players, Hooknose made a difficult decision: "Dig it out ......"
The team members used their hands and feet together to remove the bones, revealing the true face of the owner of this arm.
A white female corpse, the lower half of her body is buried in a pile of bones, the upper half of her body is not a single strand, her facial features are upright, her appearance is pure, and her figure is very hateful, at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, she will never exceed thirty years old.
In the place where the bones are piled up, there is a beautiful female corpse buried, which makes Russell feel a sense of horror, compared to the rotting bones, this female corpse gives him a more terrifying feeling, as if it ......
It may come back to life at any time......
