56. Death is only the beginning
I looked at everything in front of me and couldn't speak, Menyue Bin also took two steps back, wiped his eyes, the wooden house was still there, everything was so real, but the wooden house was dilapidated all around, and the forest was full of corpses in military uniforms.
There were so many corpses, it was literally a slaughterhouse, so much so that the strong stench of corpses wafted into the tent.
"It's not just a cycle of time, it's a cycle of space, we haven't gone out yet, we're still in the world."
"Strange, didn't I blow up that beast's head?"
I shook my head, in fact, I thought that if I could break the fog of Shimen Pass so easily, it would be too easy.
"Everything is fake, all fake." I told Mengoshi that everything from the corpse to the tomb was probably fake, and that we hadn't reached the real Yarou tomb yet.
`
"Such an evil sect? It's all fake? So the scope of this illusion is too big, right? ”
I pressed my temples and knew that it was not an illusion, but a separate world, in which time and space were not fixed, but the base built by the Japanese was not affected by illusions, so when we escaped from the corridor, the corpses disappeared, and I even had reason to suspect that the corpses were some kind of creatures in human skin.
And this Japanese base is outside that world. Or rather, there is something in this place that shelters the land.
"Could it be the statue?"
"Anyway, let's bring Professor Zhuo and them over first! This place may be a dividing point, and you must find a normal entrance and exit, otherwise you will really be trapped here. ”
The two of us went back the same way, and there were strange figures following us along the way, and I and Menyue Bin were not surprised, after all, we had guns in our hands, and they were still a little afraid of us.
Back to Professor Zhuo's place, I told him about the previous situation and the things in human skin I encountered, and Professor Zhuo thought about it and agreed with my point of view, yes, we are still in the world of Xuan.
And it's very likely that the beast head we blew up before is fake, because Qiong Huang has six heads.
"Brother Men, Teacher Zhuo!" At this time, Qin Ge suddenly spoke, and I saw him pointing to the back of the dark building, and his whole body was trembling.
"Someone." He said.
I flashed my flashlight to that place, where the mountain meets the building. The reinforced concrete on the second floor collapsed, and some windows and stone slabs fell to that place, and under the light and shadow of the flashlight, it was difficult to see who was there.
However, Qin Ge insisted that someone was watching us in that place.
Chen Xiaofei didn't believe in evil, but Men Yuebin thought that it was the animal from before who made a ghost, so he just took this opportunity to take a look, and they slowly touched it.
"What do you see?" I asked in the back.
Chen Xiaofei and Men Yuebin didn't speak, and shone their flashlights vigorously over there, and only turned back after a long time: "It's nothing, dazzled, right?" ”
But the moment they turned around, suddenly a figure flashed quickly through the window.
"Who?" I subconsciously shouted, and at the same time a human face was pressed against the top of the window.
In the distance, I can still see clearly, it is a human face, a human face with a mouth that occupies half of the face, I look at it, it looks at me, just through a piece of broken glass and a few iron railings, from the hollow in the window I can even smell the rotting corpse, the face under the firelight is more and more weird, as if it has been slashed by something, the eyes and nose are almost squeezed together, at first glance it looks like a ....... It's like a dead man's ........ that has been crushed by something.
"Come back." Professor Zhuo shouted, but it was too late, and the next second I saw countless dead people come out of the house and the mountain.
The dead were all white, the men were bald, the women were old men with long hair and hunchbacks, and the rotting flesh and corpse fluid were dripping on the ground little by little, but without exception, they all dragged a long tail behind their backs.
"Damn, the liquid in that vent pipe is the corpse fluid of these things." It dawned on me.
"What do you say?" Professor Zhuo was stunned for a moment.
I shook my head and picked up my gun, as it was now, we were already surrounded and dead, and there were more and more corpses outside, they were all around us, and their dark eyes were staring at us.
"It's broken, it's broken, something happened!" Men Yuebin ran over: "One or two are okay to deal with, why did you come so many at once?" ”
I swallowed my saliva, knowing that we were careless, in fact, when we saw the corpses of those Japanese soldiers, we should understand that they could be wiped out here, and it would not be all a problem of illusion, they must have encountered a large number of biological attacks.
"Bump" shot, I don't know who fired first, and then those corpses seemed to have a sense, and rushed towards us frantically.
"It's coming!" There are too many of them, and for a while I felt that the pictures in the zombie game are all fucking deceitful, how can a few people and a few guns kill a way.
Those things were so pervasive that even after being shot, we could climb a few meters forward, and then during the pause, the rest of the corpses flew at us, and we realized that we weren't game characters, we didn't have a health bar, and we didn't have a Gatling gun that could emit blue fire.
And this is underground, and not all the light shines down, except for the fire, which is the flashlight that a few of us are shaking.
Wait a minute······ What about the firelight? Suddenly, the fire was gone, and several corpses went crazy and threw themselves on the fire, like moths to the fire, but not a few of them extinguished the fire.
The light dropped a section, and only the light of our flashlight remained, and the light staggered, and after a while there was a scream, and then there were no two sounds, and the sound was interrupted, and I knew in my heart that there was a dead man.
But I can't be distracted, carrying a gun, I can save my life for a while, at least I really don't want to die here, being treated like a human holster by these things, and soon I see a black shadow running towards me on the ground where the light is focused.
Two, three, four, I'll kill one. Blood splattered, "Everyone, be careful. "My words were still swirling in my mouth, and I felt a dark wind coming towards me. Then I don't know who pushed me away, causing the corpse to pounce in the air, but it happened that the flashlight went off and spun around on the ground a few times.
It was pitch black.
I began to feel the fear of death, so real, so frightening, that I wanted to give in, even to bite my tongue and kill myself, because I didn't want to fall into the hands of those monsters.
The flashlight was still spinning after it hit the ground, and gradually stopped, and a strange face was reflected in the place where the light shone.
That's still a teenager, no! It is more like the face of a baby, the face of a newborn child than a human face. and a body disproportionate to its face.
But in just a moment the thing vanished from the darkness, and the scene was chaotic, and then more and more flashlights fell to the ground, and the darkness engulfed us, and the innate fear of humanity enveloped us.
"Damn, they're only conscious, they're killing us." Kadokoshi shouted.
"You ······."
I just said two words, and suddenly something jumped on top of me, bit me on the neck, and I ripped it off, but the fingers of that thing were extremely long, and a stroke pulled a long cut in my face.
I yelled and fell to my knees as blood gushing from my cheeks, thinking to myself that it was over.
Then the blood diffused through the cracks, covering half of my face, and I didn't have time to wipe it, but I knew that I was really going to confess, and it was better to raise the gun and give myself a glorious bullet.
But at this moment, the things stopped attacking, and under the light of the flashlights on the ground, they could be seen slowly retreating.
I knew they were forming an encirclement, waiting for the final moment to eat.
I sat down on the ground and raised my gun, muzzle to my chest.
It's really going to die, and in this situation now, it's the best relief for yourself.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, I gritted my teeth and wanted to shoot a few times, but I couldn't do it, I was just an ordinary person, my desire to live was extremely strong, I didn't want to die, I wanted to live.
1 minute, 2 minutes, it's strange that the corpses didn't rush over, I thought to myself, this is too long a CD, right? Or are they watching monkeys? Are you going to put us in captivity and start a human circus?
After 3 minutes and 4 minutes, Professor Meng Yuebin and Professor Zhuo began to slow down, they picked up the flashlight on the ground, and slowly brought everyone over. Everyone hugged each other, counted the number of people, and found that Lu Zhongren was gone.
5 minutes, I finally couldn't stand it anymore and took a step forward, but something strange happened, those corpses actually dried up, it turned out that in the previous few minutes, those things actually faded from the human skin, and all of them slipped away, leaving only Lu Zhongren's body not far away.
The 5 people who survived, I didn't know what was wrong for a while, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly cried.
It's not fear, it's joy, it's the outburst of nowhere to release after the Jedi.
We hugged our heads and cried, so much so that my blood was all over Men's head.
Next, in a confused situation, we each treated our wounds briefly, buried Lu Zhongren, and then took Professor Zhuo into the infirmary, we rummaged for a long time, found a lot of medical supplies that could be used, and after a short rest, continued to walk forward.
After a short time we reached the burial chamber, but everything had changed before us, and there were no huts or warehouses, only a huge ravine.
It was a natural mountain crack with a broken bridge across it, but instead of breaking it in two, it had collapsed in some places, and in some places it was connected by stones. This means that we have to walk over this bridge if we want to cross it.
On the opposite side of the ravine is an ancient building.
Professor Zhuo said that this is a high tower, is the landmark building of the Yi nationality, generally speaking, the towers are three or four storeys high, each floor is only the size of a house, the towers are close to the Yi village.
I think this watchtower is 5 stories high, but it covers a large area, which is completely similar to the style of our modern residential buildings.
"The world of the Void is gone, replaced by a real tomb."
Although I don't understand what's going on, we don't need to know this at all, the experience just now is still vivid, and we must get out of this damn place as soon as possible.
We walked up the bridge one by one along the side of the broken bridge, I followed the light of Professor Zhuo, who gave me a flashlight behind me, and saw that many of the floor tiles in this section of the corridor were broken, and I lowered my head to see the abyss from the vacant bridge holes, and I prayed that there would be no secondary collapse as I walked.
But soon as we got closer and closer to the opposite side, I saw that the watchtower on the opposite side became clearer and clearer in my eyes, it was a building made of earth, and the roof was in the shape of a "human", wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.
The earthen walls are made of a mixture of earth, pebbles, and tree branches, covered with wooden planks and pressed with large stones, and the watchtower has no windows, and I can only see a lookout hole in the light of the flashlight, standing at the front of the floor. And the size and position of the lookout hole are different, and it is extremely uneven.
In the dark mountain, only a few of us have flashlights shaking, there is no connection to the outside, not even the wind, the silence of the mountain is like death, and I see that this watchtower seems to be more like a tomb.
"From the point of view of historical origins, the Yi watchtower mainly has a defensive function, and the ground floor is mainly used to deal with the approaching enemy. The second layer is mainly used against closer opponents. Most of the floors above the third floor are used to watch out for the enemy. In order to make it easier to spot the enemy, the defenders generally live on the highest floor. In the early days of this kind of building, most of the families in the Yi cottage had to build one, two, three or even four on the front and back sides of the house. With a clear vision, Professor Zhuo quickly began to preach. It seems that the experience just now did not make him forget that he was still a teacher with students.
However, Chen Xiaofei and Qin Ge didn't have time to pay attention to him, after all, someone really died, this is not a trivial matter, if they only thought it was an adventure game at the beginning, then they might have to face death next.
It's too cruel for them.
"This group of watchtowers is built one by one, very similar to the ancient city wall of the Central Plains, but I rarely see this large-scale construction technology in the villages of the Yi people, but I seem to remember a little record of this watchtower group. It's all a long time ago. Professor Zhuo's voice rose and fell behind him, and it was obvious that he saw his student's emotions and knew that no one would listen to him even if he was talking now.
We walked across the broken stone bridge with fear, Qin Ge and Professor Zhuo drilled into the watchhole of the watchtower first, I and Men Yuebin, waiting for Professor Zhuo to come over, Professor Zhuo gave me a flashlight in the back before, and now we gave him a flashlight, in this kind of dark place, the light is particularly important.
"Hey!" At this time, Professor Zhuo, who was walking last, suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?" I watched him stand motionless on the stone bridge and had a bad feeling in my heart.
