Chapter Seventy-Three: Purgatory on Earth
Xu Annian stepped into the cave with one foot, and the sudden darkness caused him to lose his sight for a short time.
After a long pause, I gradually saw the scene around me clearly.
It was clearly excavated by hand, but the workmanship was crude, and the uneven potholes in the walls prove the haste and urgency with which it was first excavated!
Not far away, an old track appeared, and the rusty surface held up an old-fashioned consignment car, which was so old that I don't know if it can still be used normally.
Looking at the track leading to the depths of darkness, Xu Annian didn't feel a little timid, and a trace of yin wind came out from the depths, and his face hurt like a sharp knife.
Duan Tunan, who followed behind him, had two more torches in his hands at some point, and the scorching flames shone brightly around him. Asked vigilantly
"Are you sure it's the little girl's voice?"
Xu Annian nodded firmly, and then listened to it again, disappointed that this time Wang Siyun's shouts had disappeared, only the sound of the swishing wind kept whispering.
"Go, go down!"
Without the slightest friction, Duan Tunan handed out a quick torch and walked towards the depths of the black hole.
Seeing that the two of them were going forward, Bai Sanfu also jumped out of Xu Annian's arms and took the lead in the front, without his usual relaxation and laziness.
In this way, one man and one beast tightly protected Xu Annian behind him, groping his way into the darkness,
It's a straight downhill that leads to the underground. The deeper you go, the walls around you slip and the air dries.
Suddenly, Duan Tunan, who was walking in front, stopped instantly, making Xu Annian, who was behind, carelessly bump into his arms.
Before Xu Annian could ask, Duan Tunan stretched out his finger and pointed forward.
I saw that not far ahead, there were more lights. Steaming with a faint green flame, indescribably eerie.
"Be careful!"
Duan Tunan cautiously turned around and admonished, and then slowly walked forward.
As the distance got closer and closer, Xu Annian finally saw the appearance of the lamp, which was a row of strange lamp stoves, which were inserted with short and thick solids similar to candles, and the solid was slowly burning at this time, and the green light was emitted from here.
Duan Tunan cautiously stepped forward to take a look, lightly dipped his hand in a little residual ash and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
His face changed slightly, and he said heavily
"It's corpse wax!"
Xu Annian looked at Duan Tunan puzzled when he heard this.
"This is corpse oil refined from human fat, and then processed into a solid to make a candle, which can burn for many years without extinguishing!"
After Duan Tunan finished explaining, he pulled out the long sword on his back and looked at the end not far away with a heavy face.
Because of the green flame of this fire candle, the surrounding visibility became larger, Xu Annian looked at the hundreds of lamp stoves, and couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart, how many people did it take to make so many corpse wax.
Duan Tu Nan didn't say anything, and continued to walk, the further he went, the more the number of lamp stoves became, and the denser the corpse wax covered.
In less than a moment, a heavy gate at the end was in the eyes of the two men.
It was a large old iron gate, forty or fifty centimeters thick, which was now open, as if to welcome them.
"Look!"
Xu Annian suddenly whispered.
I saw that the wall next to the gate was covered with dents, as if they had been scratched with fingernails. It was heavy and sloppy, covered with bits of blood.
And at the bottom of the blood path, two words resolutely appeared
"Help me!"
It was obviously very panicked when he wrote, and the bloody handprint slid straight into the inside of the iron door, which was extremely miserable.
Duan Tunan and Xu Annian glanced at each other, their eyes were full of worry, they took a deep breath, and slowly paced into the door.
Entering the iron gate, it suddenly opened up, there was a lot of space inside, and there were more lamp stoves, and under the light of the green candles, everything around could be seen clearly.
It is obvious that this is a military base, and a small sentry box has been set up at the entrance, which is made of steel plates and emits a black light.
And right next to the sentry box, a huge wooden sign hangs on it, which is prominently engraved
"Sekiki Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Headquarters"
Xu Annian didn't understand what kind of army this was, looking at it, it should literally mean a unit that studied epidemic prevention and purification of water supply. Suspiciously, he crossed the railing blocking him, and walked inside with Duan Tunan, wanting to see what kind of place this was.
The space inside is scattered in a strip, forming a row on the left and right that extends to both sides, covered with layers of iron doors, but at this time they have all been opened and unimpeded.
Looking at a blood-red word "forbidden" posted on the door on the right, Duan Tunan waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to start the search from this side first.
Xu Annian nodded and followed closely behind Duan Tunan.
As the eyes of the two people swept away, it can be seen that the rooms in this row are very precise, and the iron door on the room is tightly sealed, but a heavy large glass is cut out of the wall next to it, and the scene inside can be clearly seen.
At the top of each room there is a door sign with a mixture of Chinese and Japanese characters, which can be vaguely seen to be Maluta, plague, freezing, and unplaning. However, most of them are still in Japanese, which makes both of them confused.
Xu Annian looked through the window one by one.
The first is the room closest to oneself, with the slogan Maluthai written on the door number. Looking through the glass, you can see that it is surprisingly filthy and shabby, divided into many uniform fences, and more than a dozen thin corpses that have dried up are resolutely lying on the weeds in it, with painful expressions, and their hands are pinching their necks, as if they are suffocating to death. They wore heavy chains around their necks and limbs. There is also a striking mark on the top of the head, which is arranged sequentially from 001 onwards.
On the wall behind the whole, there are two large characters printed with "log".
Xu Annian couldn't understand what the so-called log and Maluttai meant.
Then he walked to the second room with the word "burn" on it.
Inside were raised beds, and on the white sheets were a body with a blackened or whitish body. There are a lot of large and small instruments and equipment next to it, and I don't know what they are for.
"They're all burned or frozen!"
Duan Tu Nan sighed depressedly when he saw these poor people who were tortured to death in the room.
With that, he walked towards the third room marked with the plague,
But when the two of them looked at it again, the scene inside made Xu Annian suddenly feel nauseous.
It was densely crawling with rats, and in the midst of the rats, countless corpses were hidden among them, each of which had been gnawed and half flesh was piled there, and the mutilated corpses had begun to grow tiny seedlings, emitting a strange reddish color.
"Perverted! Damn it! ”
Even Duan Tunan couldn't help but curse when he saw such a scene.
Xu Annian only felt a churn in his stomach, and hurriedly walked towards the next room, not wanting to take another look.
It was evident that it was approaching the bottom of the hallway, and it could be seen that the iron gate was thicker and the defenses were tighter.
A strong smell of formalin came to my nose.
"Displaning?"
The two obvious Chinese words made Xu Annian read them.
The two of them walked up to the glass and looked inside, and the room was filled with all kinds of bottles and cans. Each one was transparent, containing colored liquids, and in the bottles, the internal organs and limbs of all sorts of people were seen.
Xu Annian's body suddenly shook, and he hurriedly grabbed Duan Tunan's arm, because he clearly saw that a heart-shaped organ in one of the jars was still beating slightly?
And in the middle of the various instruments, an operating table suddenly appeared, and a child was lying on it, smiling strangely at them.
On closer inspection, the child's abdomen had been deeply cut open, and all internal organs had been hollowed out. Leaving only an empty skin, cruel and bloody, outrageous!
Xu Annian couldn't bear to close his eyes, he kept cursing, this is not the world, this is hell, it is hell!
However, just as they could recover from the shock, suddenly from the last room came the clear sound of the twisting wheel and the faint human voice,
Xu Annian was stunned in surprise, and he didn't dare to breathe, could it be that there were still people alive in this human purgatory?
