Chapter 195: The Body Hidden in the Roots
"Okay, let's go together, I hope you dare to enter that stinky water."
I had to compromise, got up and prepared to go, intending to get into the basement before it got dark.
"Well, you need to prepare a flashlight, the basement is expected to be very dark." The square-faced man spoke, handing over two flashlights.
The flashlight is very old-fashioned, probably from the 80s, and the tin sheet has a small switch.
The area that can be illuminated is also very small, and the light is dim, and it is estimated that it can shine up to a range of about three meters at most, and you can't see anything at a distance.
"Where did you get such an old flashlight?" I wonder if all of us are stuck in school, it can't be that they went out and bought it.
"Where can I steal it, of course, from the infirmary." The square-faced man gave me the flashlight, with an expression that you should hurry up and die.
Seeing his expression, I felt disgusted, damn, what's the good of you when we die?
His previous death of Ma Quan Houli was also like this, which was really disgusting.
"Banhua, you tell them what we found yesterday, let's go to the door and wait for you first." I can't help but give a wicked laugh, let you ignore the death of others, then let you vomit your stomach.
Almost everyone in our team knew that the classroom was going to stink after a while.
They all came out early, and Ban Hua also stood at the door and began to whisper about our investigation yesterday.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, I heard a low, muffled retching sound from someone in the room.
The people inside only lasted for about ten seconds, and they couldn't help but start spitting wildly.
As long as one person can't help but vomit, everyone else can't help but vomit, and finally everyone will vomit at the same time.
There was a strong sour smell coming out of the house, and the smell was so strong that it was almost impossible to breathe.
A few of us laughed and ran downstairs, and to be honest, it was going to be very good.
Even if we knew that going to the basement might be killed, after this time, we were very happy.
Bypassing the big locust tree, we came to the back of the dormitory, and today it was the three of us again.
The three of us need to check this place carefully to determine if what the square face said is true.
The back of the dormitory is very barren and overgrown with weeds, and there is a half-meter-high grass path.
Inside the emerald green grass path, there is a stinky ditch nearly a meter deep.
The stinky ditch has a green splash of water, and there is a layer of white bubbles on it, and it looks very disgusting.
Including this smell, it is so stinky that it can almost smoke people to death, and the smell goes straight to the eyes, so that they can hardly open their eyes.
There were also messy footprints next to the stinking ditch, which were clearly left by the horses.
As for this stinky ditch that doesn't look big, I'm afraid no one knows how deep it will be.
I even suspect that this stinking ditch is a crack in the basement of the school, and it is normal for such a crack to emerge in the basement that has been in disrepair for a long time.
Walking all the way down the stinky ditch, we came to the basement that the square-faced man said.
The basement is mostly obscured by tree roots, and only a partially blackened hole can be seen.
None of the three of us spoke, and it was difficult to breathe at this time, and we would definitely inhale more of the stench when we spoke.
The two flashlights were turned on at the same time, and we saw that there was a small wooden path next to the stinky water entering the basement.
Wood and branches are used to create a path on the stinky water, which looks so narrow that only one person can pass through it.
The wood looks damp and should be slippery, and if you're not careful, it will slip into the stinky water.
We didn't hesitate, we had to hurry up to get out before it got dark.
Carefully stepping on the wood, the three of us walked in.
There is some softness under the feet, probably because the wood has been soaked in the water for so long that it feels a little soft when you step on it.
As we went deeper into the basement, the smell of the surrounding stinking gutters lessened a lot, as if it was gone.
I'm not sure, so I'm just going to walk in one step at a time.
The sound of rushing water flowed down the basement deeper into the basement, and above us were all kinds of hanging vines, like strange pythons, hanging in the air.
In the dim light, the surroundings seemed to be sparkling, and there seemed to be something terrifying hidden in the darkness.
The basement space is very large, and there is not much stinky water, all that can be seen are the roots, dense roots, drilling through the masonry and stone, coming to us.
The tiny roots of the tree are like hair, hanging black on the top of the head, which inexplicably makes people feel palpitations.
We kept looking around, but unfortunately the flashlight in our hands was not strong, and we could only see a very close space.
"Wait, according to the direction we walked, now we are walking towards the big locust tree." Banhua's voice was very soft, faintly trembling.
"To the big locust tree? Could it be that the underground space is built around a large locust tree? "I don't have a good sense of direction, so I don't know exactly where I'm going.
"It's very old, and if you look at the walls and the surrounding traces, it should be at least a few decades old." Kong Li rubbed his hand against the wall and wiped off a piece of blue-gray powder.
"Bomb shelters or tunnels built during the war years?"
"It won't be a tunnel, the tunnel can't be so big, the tunnel is based on people, at most two people can walk side by side, it's big, and the air-raid shelter may be relatively large." I didn't stop and kept walking.
Finally, we came to a huge rhizome.
The rhizome can only be hugged by several people, and there are many roots several meters thick around it, spreading around.
On top of those rhizomes, there are one strange figure after another.
The distance was too far, and the flashlight in our hands was dim, and we couldn't see clearly whether those figures were corpses or not.
Motioned to Ban Hua and Kong Li not to move yet, and I walked forward alone.
At this point, it is no longer the wood that is stepping on the feet, but the rhizome.
The rhizome of the locust tree was beyond my imagination, and I thought I was already thinking more exaggerated, but it seemed to be a lot worse.
As I got closer to the black rhizomes, I saw a corpse in the middle of them.
Definitely corpses, I can be pretty sure.
Hanging around the taproot, it is not known how many corpses there are.
The corpses had dried up and fissioned, leaving only skin and bones.
Beneath the skin of the corpse, the roots of the tree could be clearly seen, the sinuous roots that formed terrible marks on the corpse.
Including those deep eye sockets, they are all occupied by the roots, and the eyeballs that used to be have disappeared are gone, leaving only large black holes, and the roots of the tree stick out of these eye sockets.
The corpse has completely lost its original appearance, leaving only skin and bones and a thin appearance, which looks like a dried corpse, as if it is a mummy in the movie.
