Different from the hustle and bustle of the past, except for the footsteps of the four people, the gray mining area is a little depressing.

Maybe it was too depressed, or maybe it was a itchy scalp that made the big worm scratch constantly, and took the initiative to open his mouth to divert his attention: "You say, what did the ghost say, I always felt that he was shouting very loudly at the time, why can't I hear it?" ”

"I don't know!"

Qi Liang shook his head, twisting his shoulders from time to time, always feeling that his shoulders were particularly heavy.

The four of them walked around the six big chimneys, intending to take a look at the factory first, and Zhao Ke had a feeling that the refining place of this factory might have the answer he wanted.

Normally, outsiders were not allowed to approach here, but now the entire factory is covered by a white expanse.

Zhao Ke looked around, he didn't even see a single figure, it was empty, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it, as early as a day ago, there was still a factory with heavy guards here.

"Be careful, there might be guards hiding in the room!"

Qi Liang spoke, using the Holy Light Technique to cut through the barbed wire in front of him.

Qi Liang's use of the Holy Light Technique has reached a peak level, not only can heal, but also has amazing lethality, which is not only what stamps can do.

Just like Zhao Ke's flying knife technique, it needs to go through deep pondering and control to make the flying knife technique shine, even if there is no flying knife technique in the future, but Zhao Ke can still throw out the flying knife that is difficult to dodge, but there is no "refraction" This ability.

"It stinks!"

Before the four of them could walk in, they smelled a foul smell wafting from them.

This rotten stench, like the smell of rotten eggs, has a strong sour smell that makes people smell it and feel a churning in the stomach.

"This ...... ...... vomit"

Not to mention the big insect, even the usually grinning ghost Ji almost spit it out as soon as she opened her mouth, I don't know what kind of taste this is, it will be so sour.

"It's a corpse!"

Zhao Ke couldn't help frowning, his sense of smell was far sharper than that of ordinary people, he was naturally a deep victim of this stench, and his toes gently brushed off the gray stone crystal powder under his feet, and he saw a corpse exposed in front of the four people.

He was a guard, his eyes were dry and all that was left was a layer of skin that would break at the slightest poke.

Like a dead fish salted, the skin and hair on its face have been blurred by the gray lime.

With twisted fingers, it can be seen that he is not dying peacefully.

As for the stench they smelled, it was from this corpse.

Of course, this is only one of the sources of the stench, and there are at least several more such corpses around.

"What are you doing!!"

At this time, Ghost Ji suddenly exclaimed, only to see Zhao Ke take out a fruit knife and gently cut open the chests of these corpses.

Zhao Ke ignored the ghost Ji's questioning, staring at the wound and focusing on it.

The hand probed little by little along the wound, and as the fingers squeezed, the clear liquid began to be squeezed out along the ribcage.

A foul smell that was stronger than before made Qi Liang and the three of them frown.

At this time, Zhao Ke easily took out a piece of dead flesh that he didn't know what part was, threw it on the ground, took out a bottle of water from the mail book, and carefully washed his hands.

"Dead man!"

After waiting for a long time, the answer I waited for was actually a dead man, which made the big worm on the side grin: "How fresh, we don't have to touch it to see that he is a dead man." ”

Regarding the ridicule of the big insect, Zhao Ke did not argue with him, but corrected it. "Although it is not visible from the outside, his internal organs have been severely decomposed, and this serious decay phenomenon is called the liquefaction stage.

It is usually a process that occurs about six months to ten months after the death of a person.

So, he is a dead man who has been dead for a long time! ”

"Someone who has been dead for a long time??"

The look on the big worm's face was a little unnatural, these guards, the time of death before and after, would definitely not exceed one day, but now Zhao Ke told them that this corpse had been dead for at least six months?

Not only did the big worm look strange, but even Qi Liang and Ghost Ji's expressions became solemn.

"Could it be that he has been dead for a long time before he was turned into this by Shi Jing Powder?"

Onihime thought of a hypothesis.

But this assumption doesn't need Zhao Ke to say, and Ghost Ji feels untenable when she thinks about it herself.

This is a guard, if not an elite guard, but also a person who participates in the patrol of the factory, how can such a rotten corpse not be found, it is impossible to throw it here all the time.

Moreover, the musket beside the guard was already the best evidence to prove the guard's identity and time of death.

As long as you pick up the musket, it is not difficult to find that the chamber of the musket is very clean, which is not a sign of being thrown here for a long time.

What made them feel even more creepy was that this was not an isolated case, and when the four of them raised their heads, they saw at least seven or eight corpses emitting this stench under the gray stone dust in front of them.

If these guards are so, then ...... The same will be true of the miners who stay with them, or even ...... themselves.

As soon as he thought of this, not to mention the big worm, even Zhao Ke felt a tingling scalp, and his whole body couldn't help but shiver.

Suddenly I felt the urge to do a full body check-up for myself.

"Let's go in and have a look!" Qi Liang looked at the empty factory in front of him, let out a long breath of cold air, and opened his mouth to divert everyone's attention.

Shaking their heads, the four shook off the cranky thoughts in their heads, and the big insect picked up the musket and put it in his hand.

These muskets are not the enchanted muskets of the elite guards, they are just ordinary muskets, and they are very poorly powerful, and they are completely inadequate to deal with them as postmen.

However, at this time, for the big worm who has lost stamps and postage points, the gun in his hand can make him feel more at ease.

The factory is a very old building, of course, not a reinforced concrete building, but a half-wood, half-masonry, not tall enough, but big enough.

"I don't know why, I looked at these chimneys and suddenly thought of the crematorium." Walking to the door of the factory, the big worm's headless words made the ghost Ji retort: "Six chimneys in your crematorium? ”

"Isn't that a metaphor!"

"Less nonsense, let's go separately, you and the ghost Ji go aside, and I and the dog...... The dogs went their separate ways, and shouted loudly when there was a situation. ”

Qi Liang interrupted the nonsense of the big worm and the ghost queen, looked at Zhao Ke and asked, "No problem." ”

Although Qi Liang always felt that this guy felt very special to him, Qi Liang couldn't say what was special, but Qi Liang's intuition told him that this guy in front of him would definitely not be a fuel-efficient lamp, and ordinary people would put their hands into the corpse just to judge the time of death of the corpse?

After confirming that there was no problem, Zhao Ke walked into the factory through the door on the left.

The light inside was very dim, but it was not a problem for Zhao Ke.

Perhaps because the doors and windows are locked, the inside of this factory is much cleaner than the outside.

Zhao Ke found a few rooms, but strangely, there was no one in the room.

looked at the daily necessities in the room, with humid towels, half a bucket of warm water in the kettle, and Zhao Ke found a set of relatively clean clothes in the corner.

It can be seen that this room was previously inhabited.

But where are people now? They are hiding here, they shouldn't have come into contact with the takeaway stone crystal powder, right?

Just when Zhao Ke was puzzled, there was a very slight crisp sound of "bang" in his ears, which made Zhao Ke suddenly turn around, and a black shadow rushed out of the corner of the wall.

"Don't run!"

Zhao Ke instinctively chased after him, only to see the black shadow turn around and rush into the room, about to close the door, but Zhao Ke was faster than him, kicked the door open with an arrow, and clawed at the black shadow's shoulder.

But at this time, a rancid smell from the shop in the air made Zhao Ke's heart sink, and when he looked up, the scene in front of him was like a blow to the head, and Zhao Ke's pupils quickly tightened: "Hiss~" A cool breath poured in along Zhao Ke's throat, and his heart suddenly stopped: "Where is this?" ”
