Chapter 594: Mycelial Head
The contents of the diary after that were sloppy, and it was almost impossible to see what was being written, and the diary on the fifth day only had no content after the date was written at the beginning, which means that the owner died on the fifth day of the outbreak.
The lieutenant closed the journal with a sigh of relief: "We still have to go to the morgue to see what the hell is going on, at least we have a gun in our hands now." ”
Hu Shuntang said: "We also need to find the location of the power supply room, which is the first priority. ”
Wei Chiran asked: "Senior, you still want to find out what is going on here, I can see it." ”
Hu Shuntang inserted the magazine into the armed belt, did not admit it, turned around and walked in the direction of the hospital.
"Senior," Wei Chiran caught up with Hu Shuntang, "you can treat us as partners." ”
Hu Shuntang said: "I didn't treat you as partners, I'm just a more nostalgic person, don't talk nonsense." ”
As soon as he said this, there was a strange sound in the living area, which was like the buzzing sound of a water pipe, but it was also mixed with a crackling sound similar to hail hitting the ground, but the exact source could not be found, and it could only be judged that it came from the ventilation pipe.
Hu Shuntang urged Wei Ran to leave quickly, and at the same time, Tang She's inquiry came from the earphones: "How are you doing?" ”
Wei Chi Chi informed him of what he had discovered, and for the sake of safety, asked Tang She and the others not to come over first, and wait for them to find the entrance.
The two came to the door of the morgue again, but there was no sound of slapping from the door, and the two moved the bed that stood in the way and stood to the side to observe. Someone blocked the door with a hospital bed decades ago, indicating that something must have happened inside the morgue that was beyond their control, and that it must have happened to the first infected person.
After Hu Shuntang made a gesture, Wei Chiran kicked the door open, and after shining a flashlight into it, he found that the morgue was empty, there was nothing, not a single corpse. The strangest thing is that there is no dust in the morgue, and there are no weird-looking fungi, it is like a pure land in the underground living area.
At the moment when the two of them just walked in, they heard a bang, and Hu Shuntang immediately shone to the place where the sound came from, and found that the vent guardrail on the wall had fallen, indicating that something had just fallen from it or had gotten in.
Hu Shuntang motioned for Wei to go to the left side with a long time, and he slowly walked around from the right side to outflank and inspect the morgue.
There are only ten corpses that can be parked in the morgue, but the boxes stored in them are all empty, indicating that this place has not played its original role from beginning to end, but on the dissecting table next to it, I saw a lot of dried bloodstains, judging from the shape of the bloodstains, there were once people lying here, and there were completely dried human internal organs on the workbench next to it.
The two searched around, found nothing else, and went to the workbench to find out.
Wei Chiran stabbed the organ with a fishbone sword: "It should be that after the death of the first infected person, they dissected his body here, wondering how the epidemic broke out." ”
Hu Shuntang asked: "Didn't it be written in the diary that the first infected person did not die?" ”
Wei Chi said: "Yes, this is strange, if a person is not dead, it is impossible to dissect, and the internal organs are taken out, how can it not be dead?" ”
Hu Shuntang flipped through the things next to him and found the handwritten file sandwiched next to him: "There is a discovery." ”
What is written on the file is the relevant situation of the first infected person, and the record is very detailed, judging from the file, the first infected person is called Li Jianguo, 25 years old, a fitter, and has only been in the facility for three days. He was taken to the facility hospital in the early hours of 13 May 1970, not because of a cough, but because of breathing difficulties, and he was not rescued after the hospital took first aid measures, and he was pronounced dead fifteen minutes after being taken to the hospital without a heartbeat or pulse.
Seeing this, Hu Shuntang felt strange, since there were no symptoms of the infected person later, why was he judged to be the first infected person?
After Li Jianguo's death, the corpse changed, and mold began to grow on the surface of the body, and the spots of the mold resembled ulcers, and then strange fungi grew from the ulcers, and people who were close to this fungus began to cough violently, but at that time, no one realized that it would infect other people, thinking that they were just inhaling some dust, and they didn't care much. But what I didn't expect was that after those coughing people left the morgue, they quickly infected others, so other infected people appeared, so the hospital believed that Li Jianguo was the first to be infected.
After Hu Shuntang saw this, he said: "I see. ”
Wei Chiran asked, "What else is written on the back?" ”
After the outbreak of the epidemic completely, the hospital decided to start the autopsy with Li Jianguo's corpse, wanting to know what he was infected with, but after the autopsy, nothing was found, and it was not even clear what those molds were, why ulcers appeared, and how fungi grew in the ulcers.
A few days later, that is, on the 15th, Li Jianguo's body disappeared and disappeared into the morgue, no one knew where Li Jianguo's body went, because of the chaotic relationship, the original stable order of the hospital also completely collapsed, so the morgue could only be sealed immediately, and at this time, the living area was full of that kind of fungus, and the fungus continued to secrete strange dust.
This explains why the owner of the diary thought that Li Jianguo was still alive, when she was already in a state of unconsciousness, her condition was getting worse, and coupled with despair, she naturally thought crankily, thinking that Li Jianguo escaped from the morgue because she was still alive.
It seems that all the questions have been answered in a short time, but more questions have been added in the process of answering.
Hu Shuntang looked at the refrigeration equipment and said, "There is a way to find the power supply room." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "What way?" ”
Hu Shuntang said: "In those days, the lines in the underground facilities were all open wires, because after the problem, it was easy to repair, so we could find the power supply room by following the wires here. ”
The two immediately followed the wires to look for them, only to find that the wires were actually through the vents, which meant that the power supply room could be found by following the vents, but the vents were too small for people to crawl in them.
Hu Shuntang looked at the vent and said: "Even if this is the case, I have to go in, that is our only hope, you don't follow me, in case there is a situation, it is difficult for me to exit." After that, Hu Shuntang explained, "It's not that I don't trust you. ”
Of course, Wei Chiran knew that in that narrow vent, it was easy to climb in, but it was really difficult to exit, if there was a person crawling behind, and there was an accident, both of them would have to be blocked inside.
After Hu Shuntang climbed in, the two tested the radio, and after making sure that there was no problem, Hu Shuntang began to crawl along the wires, while Wei Chiran left the hospital and went outside to wait for news from Hu Shuntang.
Hu Shuntang crawled inside the pipe for a while, and saw the black shadow that flashed by again, and more than once, but he never saw what it was, but soon Hu Shuntang found an egg-like thing wrapped in something like a spider's web.
The thing was in the middle of the pipe, and it was stabbed with a soul squirming nail, and it felt that the surface was soft, not hard, and when it shone in with a flashlight, it seemed that there was something in the egg.
Is this the egg of any animal? Hu Shuntang thought so, and tried to push the thing away with the Soul Suppression Nail, but he didn't expect that the thing was very fragile, and it was directly broken by the Soul Suppression Nail with a little force, and the thing with mucus in it also rolled out directly, rolling straight to Hu Shuntang's eyes.
Only then did Hu Shuntang see clearly, it turned out to be a human head!
Hu Shuntang quickly calmed down, stepped back, looked at the human head carefully, and found that the appearance of the human head was very similar to the appearance of Li Jianguo on the file, could it be said that this head was Li Jianguo's? What's even more bizarre is that he found that Li Jianguo's neck was connected with some hyphae under the egg, and the hyphae were still beating, a bit like blood vessels.
No matter what it was, Hu Shuntang's purpose was to find the power supply room first, just when he turned the head aside and continued to crawl forward, he felt that his shoes were bitten by something, and he immediately struggled to look sideways, only to find that the human head opened its mouth and bit his shoes.
Hu Shuntang directly raised his foot and kicked the human head away, and after the kicked human head rolled a few times in the pipe, he actually used the mycelium to straighten it, and the mycelium instantly turned into something like an octopus tentacle, and slowly crawled towards Hu Shuntang's feet.
Hu Shuntang pulled out his pistol, aimed at the head, and fired two shots in succession.
Subsequently, Hu Shuntang's headphones came from Wei Chiran's inquiry: "What's the matter?" You shot? ”
Hu Shuntang looked at the human head that had been broken: "I found an egg in the ventilation pipe, and there was a human head in the egg, which should be Li Jianguo's, the human head seemed to be alive, and it tried to bite me, but I shot it." ”
Wei Chiran listened with a puzzled face: "Egg? Head? What the? ”
Hu Shuntang said: "I don't know what it is, in short, it's a monster, what happened here is too strange, you have to be careful outside, don't say it, I'll continue to crawl forward." ”
Following the wires in the pipe, Hu Shuntang finally came to the power supply room, but as soon as he got out, he was startled, because the power supply room was already covered with something similar to spider webs, and there were one after another Li Jianguo's heads hanging on the web. That's right, it's all Li Jianguo, and it seems that something is constantly copying Li Jianguo's head.
The heads were like the one seen in the pipes before, with mycelium on their necks, but they didn't move, just hung quietly on the cobwebs.
Hu Shuntang looked around for the switch of the generator, and after finally finding it, he slowly tore open the cobwebs on the surface and pressed the button, but he didn't expect the roar from the generator to wake up all the heads in the cobwebs, and those heads opened their eyes almost at the same time and stared at Hu Shuntang not far away.
Hu Shuntang originally wanted to raise his gun, but he thought that if the bullet damaged the equipment here, everything would be wasted, and he could only hold the Soul Suppression Nail and wait for the battle.
Soon, the mycelial heads began to crawl towards Hu Shuntang along the ceiling, walls, and ground, and many of them opened their mouths, revealing a mouth full of ulcers, and hyphae that resembled tentacles slowly grew out of the ulcers.
Hu Shuntang used the soul suppression nail to break a human head that was close to him, but after the human head was broken, the mycelium immediately wrapped it, and soon formed the appearance of a cicada chrysalis, just like the egg that Hu Shuntang saw before.
Although the generator has been started, it is still dark around, Hu Shuntang looked around, and then saw the main gate on the wall, but the main gate is surrounded by mycelium human heads, it is really difficult to get over, and he can only find a way to lure these things out and destroy them.
Hu Shuntang thought of this, and rushed directly to the door, but he didn't expect that after opening the door, the door was full of obstructions, and someone blocked it with all kinds of sundries.
