Chapter 34: The Siege of the Living Corpses
Yu Nian put down the wool felt in his hand, recalled it for a while, and said, "In that coffin just now, what fell on your eyes?" ”
"It's that dry corpse, like a tear."
Yu Nian let out a long sigh, "Meng Luo had six senses before his death, his ears could track thousands of miles, and his eyes could see through the virtual and the real, it seems that you inadvertently received his tears of vision." ”
"So, I can see through now because of the thing that just fell?"
Yu Nian nodded, but I couldn't believe it, if I really had the ability to see-through, I could go to the hospital to apply for a body scanner.
As long as you look at it, the human skeleton density and cardiopulmonary function can be seen clearly.
But now that everyone is well dressed in my eyes, and I can't even see through the clothes, what does that mean?
I was thinking that when I looked at the wool felt again, it was back to normal.
"Huh? I can't seem to see again? What's going on? ”
Yu Nian used a dagger to cut the wool felt directly, took out the bamboo slips inside, and said, "It should be that you have just come into contact with the ability of visual vision, and you are not skilled in using it." ”
The bamboo slips are arranged in order, and in addition to a piece of text, a symbol is drawn on them.
Yu Nian said that the identity of this woman was written on the bamboo slip, and she was a clansman who found the corpse in one of the four corpse smiths.
When he was young, he was matched by someone and married to Monroe for a period of time.
But before the marriage, he fell seriously ill and died violently. Before he died, he left his last words, and he was willing to die with Meng Luosheng.
This is the end of what is recorded on the bamboo slips, and as for how she was moved here, and what kind of feelings Monroe has for her, the bamboo slips do not mention a word.
But I always felt that there was something strange about it.
First of all, if she and Monroe are truly in love, then why are they bound here in such a perverted way, and their souls cannot be reborn.
But if Monroe didn't care about her, how could he take her to this octagonal tower after his death?
It all seems like a mystery.
I noticed the graphic next to it, and I just thought it was very familiar, but I couldn't tell where I had seen it.
"What does this rune mean?"
Yu Nian explained, "It is the ancient writing of the word "corpse search", which is a symbol and a symbol of identity. ”
I stretched out my index finger and traced the figure over and over again on the ground, the pieces in my mind slowly coming together.
I suddenly remembered that this pattern is the tattoo on Tengchong's chest!
After I sleepwalked and jumped from the second floor of the Hangzhou Youth Hostel, Tengchong rushed to the hospital to see me, and once showed this tattoo.
But I just thought it was a strange shape, so I paid attention to it. I never expected to see it here after such a long time.
Teng Chongchong, turned out to be the descendant of the corpse search door??
She and Liao Kao were concerned about Suihe's injury at this time, and they didn't care about the conversation between me and Yu Nian.
It's just that her eyes in the distance glanced at me from time to time, and after seeing that I was also looking at her, she quickly dodged and lowered her head shyly.
I only thought she was scheming, simple and lively, but now it seems that every time she stretches out her hand to me, every time she smiles at me, it seems that there is a deep meaning.
It is very likely that she and Teng Jianmin have a nest of snakes and rats, luring me into the mystery step by step.
I grabbed the bamboo slips from the ground, stuffed them back into the wool felt, and spread the wool felt under the dried corpse again.
Tuso was still lying motionless on the ground at this time, and the bell had been broken by me, and there was no way to wake him up at this time.
I asked Yu Nian for help, and Yu Nian only said that he was controlled by the bell, and the bell was suddenly destroyed, and he was not affected by a small impact, and most of the time he had to rest for a while to wake up.
We can't afford to delay too much, and it's not an option to leave him here.
I gritted my teeth, picked up the big man of more than 1.9 meters, put it on my shoulders and dragged him to prepare to go downstairs.
Just then, there was a sudden sound of footsteps downstairs.
I took a look, and all of us were upstairs at the moment, so where did the footsteps come from?
I hurriedly carried Tusuo to the side of the bed, and Yu Nian motioned for everyone to squat down first.
One, two, three, the sound of footsteps slowly converged, and finally I felt that the room was full of people.
I cautiously poked a hole in the window paper and looked down.
found that at this moment, the octagonal tower was already surrounded by living corpses like walking corpses, all with dull eyes and tattered clothes. Most of the flesh on some faces has rotted, and the gums are exposed to the air.
Some of them have twisted joints, but they are still dragging their stumps closer to us.
The people below, without exception, all had a neat wound on their necks, and the wound was mended with needles and threads.
These people gathered downstairs, and because the door to the first floor was not closed, they all rushed in at once.
I hurried to the stairs, only to find that these things seemed to have only the ability to move, not to think. One by one, they stopped at the stairs and lingered on the first floor.
I slipped back and whispered to Yu Nian, "They shouldn't be able to come up for a while, but the entire octagonal building has been surrounded, and we can't get out at all." ”
Yu Nian looked up, "Then go up." ”
This octagonal building is deeply embedded in the mountain, and at the moment there is only one way, maybe there is a connection to the mountain somewhere above, and we can still walk out along the tunnel.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion downstairs, as if something was shattered.
It turned out that these walking corpses were angry, and they began to hit the statues and coffins with their heads.
There were more and more living corpses outside, and their hands scratched the door panel, making a creaking sound.
The octagonal building was already in disrepair, and when they dragged it like this, even the doors and windows fell to the ground.
The entire tower is made of wood, and it is estimated that they cannot afford to destroy it like this.
We didn't have time to think about it, so we packed up our things and ran upstairs together. Teng Chongchong hurriedly followed behind me and took the luggage in my hand.
I looked at her, and she explained, "Don't you still have to hold the husky, it's not heavy, I'll take it for you." ”
If it had been before, I might have thought that the little girl was thoughtful, but now that I look at everything Teng Chongchong did to me, I think it has other plans.
Liao Kao raised an objection at this time: "I don't agree with the method of going up, this tower is twenty or thirty meters high, in case we run upstairs and find that there is no way out at all, but to give these things downstairs more time." It's better to take advantage of the fact that there are still few living corpses, and we will go out and return the same way. ”
Before I could speak, Suihe automatically stood on Liao Kao's side, "I think Liao Kao is right, we don't know what the situation is upstairs at all, and we can't gamble with luck at this time." ”
Everyone is on the same team, and it is normal to have differences of opinion in the face of emergencies, and I also expressed my own considerations, "We are now a few people, Yu Nian and Suihe are injured, and Tusuo is now unconscious. The rest of the people are in a problem to protect themselves, how can we get out of it? ”
Liao Kao glanced at Tusuo who fainted beside me, "This person is not a person who is not a person from us in the first place, and he will only drag his feet with him, so it is better to throw him here, you concentrate on protecting your remaining thoughts, Suihe and Chongchong will be handed over to me, and Lao Meng's self-protection should not be a problem." ”
I didn't communicate much with Liao Kao before, and from my previous performances, I only saw that this was a flower growing in a greenhouse, and I was not used to seeing any wind and rain, and I only had Teng Chong Chong. But now these few words are simply astonishing.
Tuso, as fierce as he may seem, is not our friend. But whether it was from the lair of the ghost keeper or after arriving in this octagonal tower, he helped us more than once when he was conscious.
On this point, anyone who has a little sense of responsibility will never say such a thing as throwing Tuso himself here.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't stop you which way you want to go. But I just want to emphasize one thing, Tuso saved me, and helped everyone in the room. I won't leave him behind, in other words, if it's you Liao Kao who faints today, I'll do whatever it takes to get you out. ”
I didn't say it badly, but I made it clear.
After speaking, I dragged Tusuo on the ground, called Lao Meng and Yu Nian to turn around and go upstairs.
Teng Chong turned his head and looked at Liao Kao angrily, "How can you say such a thing?" With that, he ran towards me.
Liao Kao shouted Teng Chong Chong twice, but Teng Chong Chong did not respond, and after a while, he also followed with Suihe.
The wound on my shoulder was still aching, but the tuso was weighing on me.
Yu Nian walked in front of me, and only lightly threw down a sentence, "It's almost there, he has a shoulder injury." ”
After saying that, Tuso coughed and stood up from my shoulder, "It's boring, you found out." ”
I reacted for a moment before I figured out, "You woke up a long time ago?" ”
Tuso lifted his pants, "No, just woke up." ”
In the blink of an eye, I had reached the sixth floor, and two flights of stairs in front of me reached the top of the tower, and I wondered what it was like downstairs, so I poked my head out of the window to take a look.
I saw a black patch on the ground, and there were more than a hundred or so living corpses gathered together.
Liao Kao saw the scene below and didn't say much.
If we had chosen to return the way we came, it would have been a head-on confrontation with these 100 or so walking dead who didn't know how to hurt.
When the time comes, not to mention the level of combat effectiveness and how to protect ourselves, this physical strength alone may not be enough to support us when we go out.
Suddenly, the entire octagonal tower began to shake violently.
It seems that the ground floor of the first floor has been precariously impacted by these living corpses, and the top of the tower is crumbling.
We stepped up and ran quickly out of the window on the top floor.
We found that the window was facing the entrance of a cave, but it was only four or five meters apart, and we couldn't cross it at all.
At this moment, the shaking of the top of the tower is becoming more and more violent, and the distance of twenty or thirty meters high, if it falls at this time, there is only one dead word in the end.
