Chapter 161: Barren Land

Looking at this woman's face again, I suddenly gasped, this is a human face, it can't even be considered a complete face. The flesh on her entire right cheek was gone, and white Sen Sen's bones were drilled with yellow bugs the size of a little thumb, ready to move.

It's fucking disgusting, too! My best way to express this is to vomit quickly.

Although Zhang Kailong has been in contact with dirty things many times when solving the case, he has seen rotting corpses, broken corpses, and even boiled corpses, but the face of this living person is boneless, and there are maggots crawling (at first I thought it was maggots, but later I learned that it was not), the impact of this picture on people's vision is simply incomparable.

The man had long, messy hair on his forehead, a layer of hair, and a fifth of his body and face like a person, another five like a cat, and perhaps only the gender of a pair of rabbits on her chest—it had once been a woman.

"This ...... This is a Gu man! This...... This high priest is also too ruthless, and he is actually cultivating Gu people......"

Chen Laosan said in a trembling voice.

I rarely saw him so flustered, and said in my heart: What the hell is this Gu man, Chen Laosan is scared like this!

When I saw her, I suddenly remembered Aunt Li who had turned into a cat face.

At that time, Senior Brother Lao Han was still there, and after Aunt Li died, a red long centipede crawled out of her mouth, which was put into a small bottle by Senior Brother, and finally given it to me, I remember that he said that this insect was the key to figuring out the strange things that happened in Laomiao Village, and I didn't pay much attention to this sentence at the time, but now that I think about it, did Senior Brother know that someone was doing Gu behind his back?

The cat man glared at us, jumped over a meter-high fence, and disappeared into the alley on one side.

Zhang Kailong chased after him and fired two shots, but the speed of this cat man was too fast to aim.

"It's all right! Brother Long? I remembered that Zhang Kailong groaned just now, and hurriedly went over to ask him.

"It's okay, I just got hit, this thing is so powerful!"

Zhang Kailong slapped the dust on his body and smiled bitterly.

The three of us went back to the house to take a look, everything was normal, it seemed that the cat man had smelled the smell of toads and came to forage for food.

"Follow this footprint, maybe you can find her!"

Zhang Kailong's eyes were sharp, and he saw the footprints of people on the ground at a glance.

This cat man is just like Yu Lina before, while his body is changing, he is also like an animal, without clothes or shoes, so that in a place like the countryside where there is mud everywhere, footprints can be left almost everywhere.

The footprints were clear, and at a glance you could see that the man had a deep scar on his left foot.

The footprints went out the door and turned to the left, and we followed.

After first passing through a long alley, then a broken wall, it seems that after becoming a half-human, half-cat, her habits and physical functions have changed accordingly, and she walks on a low wall.

We are bitter, one foot deep and one foot shallow, a small low wall, and a lump of dirt, Chen Laosan may be used to the rhythm of the boat, and he is not used to walking such a road, and he fell seven or eight times along the way.

The three of them didn't dare to stop, or even slow down, and chased them all the way out of the village.

After walking in the fields for a while, when we pulled open a reed, we saw a depression in front of us.

This place is so familiar! I've been to this place before! It was the time when I followed the cat-faced little boy before, and then I secretly saw the high priest take out a young man's heart, and finally I was found, and this is the depression.

In fact, about this depression, we first heard from Lao Yu that this should be a meteorite crater (but I don't know where the meteorite went), because the land is extremely saline, there is no grass here, so it was used as a garbage dump by the village, and all dead dogs and cats were thrown over, and even the children who died in those two years were buried here.

Later, I heard Lao Yu add some things about this huge depression.

It was in the mid-forties, when Lao Yu was just a child. In those years, there were years of severe droughts, coupled with perennial wars, and people died more frequently than cattle and sheep now. Even if they were alive, they were just surviving, and eating one meal a day, or only one meal a few days, abounded, and the scene of eating tree bark, thatching, and even "eating from a child" was not new at that time.

The dead are long gone, the living are sad, and almost every family at that time had relatives who died, so it was not so sad for the loss of relatives. According to the old people, because of the long-term hunger, those who were lucky enough to survive had little strength, and they could not even lift a corpse in the end.

There are many people who have died, and the so-called funerals can naturally be simplified, and those who can be avoided are avoided, and later, those who have no children and no daughters are carried to this depression, and there are still a few inches of loess covering their bodies, and many of them are violent corpses in the wilderness.

After a long time, this depression was full of rats, perhaps because these rats had been eating dead human flesh for a long time, they were very large and fierce, and someone had seen a weasel at that time, and when they looked closely, they knew that it was a big mouse......

It is said that in addition to the extremely large growth of rats here, since then, there have been many snakes and centipedes in this depression, as well as some invisible evil things.

Lao Yu didn't know what this so-called evil thing was, maybe it was the ghosts of those dead people, maybe it was something more terrible than ghosts, at that time Lao Yu was still young, and he couldn't understand many words, and more than fifty years have passed, and many things are not so clear to remember.

It's not clean in this depression! After all these years, he has remembered this phrase.

At that time, when I heard Lao Yu talk about these things, I also thought of another thing, that is, about the evil incident in the Yellow River fifty years ago, these things all happened fifty years ago, is there any connection?

……

At that time, we followed the footprints of the cat man to the edge of the depression, and there was a desolation in front of us, and a foul smell came to our noses.

On the other side of this barren land, I saw a lot of mounds, and there seemed to be some cattle, sheep and other domestic animals lying around the mounds.

Seeing the grave mound here, I have long expected it, hundreds of years, there are tens of thousands of undead sleeping in the depression, but many lonely souls and wild ghosts don't even have a grave lump, but there is not even a single grass here, how can there be a piece of cattle and sheep lying down?

Poor Qimuli, this is the only cemetery in this depression where she can hide, did she go here?

"Now that we're all here, let's go check it out!" Zhang Kailong waved his hand, and the servants went downhill into this barren land.

The stench came in bursts and was almost disgusting.

At this time, I realized that in addition to the footprints of the cat people we had been following just now, there were some other traces in the depression, human beings, animals, and some traces that could not be said to be anything.
