Chapter Twenty-Four: The Corpses

The three of us stood in the water, staring blankly at the scene in front of us. The corpse in front of us seemed to be boundless and moved with the waves of water, gently touching our waists, as if we would wake up at any moment.

But I knew they wouldn't wake up again, because all the corpses were intact except for their heads, and all that was left of them was a skeleton, and some root-like thing was shaking in the water at the broken neck, like some living thing poking out its brain!

Where did so many corpses come from?

This place has not prospered since ancient times, the population is very small, and there is only one village in the entire mountainous area, Xiazhuang, could it be said that all the people of Xiazhuang died here?

Decades ago, Xiazhuang inexplicably became an empty village, should it be here? But it's not right, although Xiazhuang lives alone in the mountains, it is not a paradise, how can such a big thing not be over? It is rumored in the world that the things in Xia Zhuang are suspicious, it should just be the interpretation of good deeds, and the truth may be a prosaic explanation.

Regardless of where these dead bodies came from, the question is whether to continue moving forward or going back the way they came. Look ahead, it's just two or three miles away on land, but we've got a long way to go back.

I turned around and asked Liu Dongxi's opinion, and he also felt that he should continue to move forward, Lu Yan naturally would not object, but Liu Dongxi raised a question.

"Brother An, I think there is something wrong with these corpses!"

"Well, I know, the flesh on their bodies is gone, and they are still bald."

"It's not just that, don't you think there's something strange about their heads?"

I heard Liu Shishi say this, and even bent down to take a closer look, all the corpses were on their backs, men, women, and children, although their faces were blue and swollen from blisters, they could still see the color of wind and frost on them. But if there's anything wrong with that, I really can't see it except that it's surprisingly well preserved!

Liu Dongxi saw my puzzled look, "Brother An, look at the back of their heads!" ”

As he spoke, he turned over a corpse with a knife, and when I looked at it, my heart suddenly chuckled. This is a female corpse, there is still some long hair left on her head, and at this moment, Liu Dongxi turned around, only to see that the back of the head is almost the size of a volleyball, and the pores on the soaked white scalp are stretched out, and it is very disgusting to look dense.

What's going on? I asked Liu, "What is this?" ”

"I don't know, I'm afraid there's something in there!"

Hearing him say this, I shuddered, what could be in my head? I instantly thought of the dried corpse with holes in the face, these heads must also be that kind of terrible thing, I don't know if they are dead or alive, but looking at the appearance of these heads, it is always fresher than the broken drawer, these things are probably still sleeping in the head, and I don't know when they will break their faces and eat us alive!

I was a little scared when I thought of this, of course Liu Shiwu also thought of this, and his face suddenly looked bad. In fact, just looking at the fact that we can still talk calmly in this waist-deep group of corpses, it is enough to show that we have completed a great transformation in that mountain of blood corpses, if this had been changed before, I am afraid that I would have been so scared that I would not even be able to walk.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and you must leave immediately. We didn't say anything, and hurriedly walked forward, Liu Dongxi pushed the half-pulled female corpse away, and the female corpse swept through the corpses, slowly turning her face. I only felt like she was about to come back to life, and I didn't dare to look at it anymore, and walked away with a stone under my feet.

With this threat, our feet were noticeably quicker, and I kept pulling the corpses in my way, heading in the direction I could see beneath my feet. Liu Dongxi and Lu Yan followed, and the corpses that I had pushed away collided with each other and slid away, like ripples transmitting this vibration, none of us saw it, and those disturbed corpses opened their empty eyes one by one.

Little Adam was the first to feel that something was wrong, and tossed in my backpack. Feeling the movement of little Adam, I immediately knew that something was wrong, and turned around sharply, just as I saw a face slowly opening my eyes at me, the eye sockets were empty, but I could see something moving rapidly in the depths of the eye sockets.

These faces looked normal when they closed their eyes, but when they opened their eyes, they suddenly took on a blank and helpless expression. The atmosphere of the whole space was instantly filled with a feeling of helplessness and sadness, and in it, the unconcealed riot fluttered in the very beginning.

These dead people are really alive!

Seeing that the dead man not far behind him began to writhe violently, this action touched the other dead bodies, and more and more corpses were awakened, and their eyes were writhing. Seeing these corpses, which were basically skeletons, writhing violently under the drive of a big head, they were like braised live carp that had eaten up their skin and flesh.

None of us were stunned, each drew his weapon and swept away the corpses around him, and followed me forward. Because of the depth of the water and the uncertainty of the situation underneath, it was impossible for us to run. I thought that this speed was probably not as fast as swimming in the water, so I tried to swim two steps, but there were too many corpses on the water to swim at all, so I resumed walking in desperation.

In this way, we struggled to make our way through the crowd of corpses, surrounded by the sound of water and skeletons crashing against each other, and many of the corpses' heads began to deform, and their faces bulged as if something was about to crawl out.

I knew that the death of the dried corpse was about to be reproduced before our eyes, but what jumped out next was not something we were capable of confronting.

The situation is urgent, my heart seems to be burning, at this time we have walked more than half the distance, and there are still two or three hundred meters to climb the opposite cliff!

At this time, Liu Dongxi shouted, "It's not good, it's out!" ”

I knew what he was talking about, and I heard the sound of a light bulb breaking behind me. Looking back in a panic, dozens of white human-faced lizards had broken through their heads and rushed towards us along the skeletons floating in the water! That posture of jumping up and down reminds me of the charge of monsters in the compound!

I couldn't let them catch up, I turned my head, and no longer stretched out my feet to try, and slammed forward, these things ran so fast that the way I used to do it would be caught up in a while. Since stepping on the air is a death, and being caught up is also a death, it is better to go out and fight!

Liu Dongxi and Lu Yan followed closely behind me, pushing the corpses around us into the distance, the surrounding corpses writhed more and more, the sound of bones colliding was deafening, and the sound of light bulbs breaking was also one after another, I heard it coldly, the cliff in front of me had to be more than a hundred meters, but at this speed, I am afraid we will not be able to rush through!

Liu Dongxi was already shouting loudly, and he also knew that we must be more than lucky today, but Lu Yan was still silent, just resolutely used a spear to push a big-headed doll-like corpse into the distance.

A pungent sweet smell came from all around, and my lungs were about to burst from the torture of this high-intensity escape, and it was even worse when a small human-faced lizard burst from the right side, entrenched in the face of a female corpse, and an elongated and strange human face turned to look at me. I stopped abruptly, the smell around me getting stronger, and I let out a chuckle and looked around. Xindao: It's over!
