Stone Man of the Western Regions Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 10: Stone Man Present
Just when the fat man's eyebrows fluttered, and the scorpion and I were also very energetic, Yiyi suddenly said emotionally:
"Senior brother! You've got something in front of you! ”
Because of the nervousness, Yiyi's voice trembled in my ears.
The fat man immediately stopped, just as in my dream, when the scorpion made him stop, with invisible brakes on his feet.
It's just that at this moment, the person who made the fat man brake changed from a scorpion to a Yiyi.
As all the headlamps of the four of us focused in front of the fat man, I saw something that made Yiyi nervous.
About five meters in front of the fat man, there was a man standing!
Facing the light of our four headlamps, the man remained motionless, just holding his back against the wall, looking directly at the opposite wall!
"It can't be Ah Jin, right?"
I stood at the end and couldn't see the man's face clearly.
At this moment, I remembered the picture of the fat man tentatively calling out Ah Jin's name when the steppe stone man appeared in my dream.
"It's not Ah Jin! It's a dead man! ”
The scorpion answered my question.
After the scorpion mentioned the dead, Yiyi's shoulders in front of me trembled. Obviously, experiencing this kind of scene for the first time made her a little nervous.
I grabbed her hand to calm her down, and when I held her hand, the cold feeling of the tentacles made me feel a little distressed.
"Looks like someone from the expedition outside."
The fat man said.
At this moment, both the fat man and the scorpion approached the man. Yiyi and I distanced ourselves to them, fanning out around the wall across from the man.
After seeing his face clearly, Yiyi immediately retched. I also endured it to suppress the churning in my abdomen.
I saw that the man's face had begun to collapse, his eyes were hollow, and his skin was loose like a pancake on his bones. It already resembles a skeleton.
But even though the corpse had decomposed to this extent, it still appeared to be in a standing posture and did not pile up on the ground. It was as if the wall behind him was sticky, sticking him firmly to the wall.
"No, judging by the freshness of the food, the expedition should not have been here for long, but how did this corpse decompose like this."
After the fat man finished speaking, I also realized the strangeness in front of me.
When Yiyi and I were sorting out the food, we found that the date of the existing canned food was five days ago. That means that these people should be here for no more than five days.
Judging by the degree of decay of the corpses, many of the skin was loose and put on the body like gloves. This happens during this season, at least after more than ten days of death. The climate here in Xinjiang is already dry, and the degree of preservation of corpses may be even longer.
"He's from the company Europa! ”
The scorpion spoke again.
After hearing the scorpion say the word "Europa", Yiyi took a step forward without warning! Fearing that she would be in danger of approaching the corpse of unknown cause, I reached out to pull her back, but was stopped by the fat man. He shook his head at me, meaning that he was measured.
Sure enough, Yiyi just took a step forward, in order to see the three words "Europa" that Ou Scorpion said.
The "Europa" company is no less mysterious than the mysterious "headless country" organization that is the opposite of us.
At that time, I didn't know that these three words, which kept appearing in my field of vision, would have countless connections with us in the days to come.
From the moment we entered the stone gate, the passage stretched endlessly, as if there was no end.
At this moment, the position of the stone gate behind us is no longer so clear, and the passage in front of us is still dark.
As I observed the passage on both sides, I heard Yiyi's voice in some surprise:
"Look at the back of this corpse!"
After being greeted by her, the fat man and the scorpion took a step towards the position of the corpse at the same time, standing in front of Yiyi.
I also followed, and when I saw what Yiyi was referring to, I couldn't suppress my emotions and exclaimed:
"Prairie Stone Man!"
At that moment, I didn't know whether I should be happy or sad, and a mixed emotion came to my heart.
There really is a "steppe stone man"!
Coincidentally, the size of the corpse was just enough to block the "steppe stone man" embedded in the wall. It was as if the size of the stone man was tailor-made for this corpse, and there was almost no gap between the stone man and the corpse! If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see the existence of the stone man.
"Senior brother, be careful!"
Just when I was shocked that the scene in front of me had really restored my dream, I heard Yiyi shout beside me.
At the same time, a big ball of meat sprang out from me, it was the fat man!
His direction was the corpse in front of us, and before I could react, he kicked the corpse down, and the action was so fast that even Bruce Lee was alive!
The corpse was already shriveled, and it was kicked in two by the fat man's kick at once!
When the fat man made this action, Yiyi and the scorpion both stared nervously in the direction of the corpse. At the same time, the guns in his hands were pointed at each other to prevent accidents.
Fortunately, there is no danger! It's just that the scene is a little disgusting, and at this moment, the upper body of the corpse and the waist are only left with skin adhesions like gloves. Corpse water emerged from the connection, dripping down the legs that were still clinging to the wall. And there is a foul smell coming to my nose!
Due to the fat man's excessive force, the head of the corpse that was originally pasted on the wall, under this strong impact, actually partially stuck to the face of the "steppe stone man".
The fat man took out the Swiss Army knife from his waist, and was reluctant to use the blade to scrape the dirt that had been stuck to the stone man's face. Instead, I wrapped a few layers of toilet paper around the blade of the knife, and then I was relieved to clean up those things.
While the fat man is doing this series of actions, the scorpion is constantly alert to the situation around him, which is probably due to habit.
I have seen the methods of scorpions, and when I was in the dungeon to meet me and the fat man, the whole set of smooth movements was definitely no less than the special forces in film and television dramas. The actions in the film and television dramas have been specially treated, but the movements of the scorpion are real kung fu!
With this "bodyguard" by my side, I always felt safe in my heart. This feeling became especially evident when the scorpion went out of its way around the area.
Looking for dragon points, well-informed, I am not as good as a fat man.
Well-trained, bold and courageous, I'm not as good as a scorpion.
Even Yiyi is more careful than me, and several accidents were reminded by her after she first found out.
Of the four of them, I felt like I was the one who was holding back. At that moment, I actually wanted to be the corpse that was kicked in two by the fat man, and after a hundred, I would continue to drag the fat man down!
As soon as this idea came to me, I immediately felt that something was wrong!
In the past, although I didn't belong to the extremely optimistic personality like the fat man, I was not so negative as this!
Could it be that the smell of this corpse is poisonous?
As soon as this inference appeared, I immediately reminded them.
We immediately took out the gas masks from our respective backpacks and put them on.
Although my inferences are unfounded, judging by my negativity alone is a bit too hasty. However, in this case, any change is possible.
Sure enough, after I put on a gas mask and my nose was no longer filled with the stench of corpses. My negativity disappeared immediately.
The four of us all looked at each other, and the fat man nodded at me. Obviously, the negative emotions just now, he also generated, and immediately improved after putting on a gas mask.
I still haven't figured out what kind of smell that can affect people's emotions is, just like the flowers on the other side of the cliff in Zhao Tuo's underground palace. We haven't encountered it again in our experience since then.
After no emotional influence, the fat man continued his clean-up work.
When the disgusting pieces of corpse were cleaned up by him, the face of the stone man inside was revealed.
It's exactly the same, really the same as the facial outline of the stone man in my dream! Even the mustache engraved on his lips is exactly the same!
As for the specific description of the stone man, I have not described it to the three of them with the fat man.
However, the moment the stone man appeared, my special abilities were fully verified.
Originally, the scorpion was skeptical of my ability, but after discovering the stone man, he immediately gave me a thumbs up, and the meaning was already obvious.
From the comparison of dreams and reality several times, I also found some patterns.
The scenes that I can see in my dreams, the real objects or real scenes that I don't know, have a high chance that they will actually appear in the future. And what happens is not necessarily fulfilled, but only reminds of something.
After the image of the stone man completely appeared in front of us, we waited for a long time in place, waiting for the moment when the stone man's eyes moved.
But this stone man is a stone man at all, where is the movement of my eyes in my dreams.
"Look at it, being stared at by you, this stone man brother is shy of you!"
The fat man's voice was muffled by a gas mask, and the voice that came out was a little muffled, and even some words could not be heard clearly. You need to connect the upper and lower sentences to understand what he means.
As he spoke, he poked the tip of his Swiss Army knife into the stone man's eye.
The metal tip of the knife made a crisp sound when it collided with the stone, and there were many scratches due to the fat man's excessive force.
I reached out and grabbed the fat man, not letting him continue.
Obviously, this stone statue embedded in the wall is a stone, not a stone figure with moving eyes in my dreams.
"Brother Su Mo, I really envy this special ability of yours!"
After we had walked a long way away from the corpse, the scorpion who had taken off his gas mask said to me.
"Don't praise him, compared to Duan Yu, this kid is almost hot. Look at my brother's Swiss Army knife, it almost curled up......"
The fat man said as he touched the blade of the saber.
While the three of us were talking, Yiyi remained silent, apparently the disgusting level of the corpse just now had not yet eased her up.
At this moment, the location of the stone gate really disappeared from our sight. Even when the flashlight passed, all I could see was the outline of the wall.
We kept walking downward, the long narrow passage with a small downward slope and still no end in sight, as if one end of the passage was connected to the Netherworld......
