Chapter Thirty-Six: The Mystery in the Womb
The three of us broke out in a cold sweat, took a few steps back, picked up the guy and aimed at it, and I could see the thing for what it really was under the glare of the miner's lamp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I saw that the flesh and skin of its body had festered, and it hung on its body in wisps, its abdomen was raised high, its arms and legs were completely broken and folded upwards from its elbows and knees, and some bones could even be seen piercing through the flesh, and its sharp nails were stuck in the beams, hanging straight there, crumbling, and a pair of bright red eyes full of resentment.
"Lao Zhao...... You...... You killed other people's children, ...... People have come to you for revenge. Xiao Zhang didn't forget to joke at this time, and pointed his finger at me and Lao Zhao as he spoke, "Your child was killed by the two of them, and it has nothing to do with me, you want to seek revenge and find the two of them." ā
Before his words fell, I heard a "bang", the strange corpse suddenly fell from above, the rotten flesh could not withstand the huge impulse and burst instantly, the colorful liquid flowed out of the crack in its abdomen, slowly flowed to my feet, the smell of this liquid was very pungent, I only felt that it was dark in front of me, almost fainted to the ground, hurriedly held my breath and took out a gas mask to put on, only to breathe a little easier.
When we looked closely, the strange corpse crawled towards us with its elbows and knees propped up, slow at first, but then faster and faster, and the bones struck against the bricks with a "pop" sound.
"Hit!" Lao Zhao yelled, Xiao Zhang and I pulled the trigger together, and two clusters of iron sand sprayed out of the barrel, knocking the strange corpse over several times, hitting the fire, and sparks flew everywhere.
We raised the gun and were about to fight again, the strange corpse suddenly "whew" and pounced, we didn't expect it, this was in a hurry, the accuracy of the gun also dropped, and missed two shots in a row, and hurriedly scattered and fled, Xiao Zhang stepped on the colorful slime without paying attention, fell face down to the ground, turned over and just wanted to get up, was pressed under the strange corpse, opened his mouth to his neck and bit down.
Xiao Zhang bent his knees and desperately pressed against its abdomen, his two hands also pressed his shoulders tightly, his mouth wide open and panting, his face full of frightened expressions, the situation was like a big hooligan raping a little girl.
But I knew that Xiao Zhang's strength was worlds different from Lao Zhao's, and he couldn't support it for long at all, so I didn't dare to hesitate at all, and pulled out the only hunting knife that the three of us had left hanging on my waist, and held back my nausea and fear, and pounced on the strange corpse's body, raising the knife to pierce its head.
Unexpectedly, the strength of this strange corpse was extremely strong, and it threw me against the wall with a desperate flick, and hit my head with a "buzz", and sparks appeared in front of my eyes, and the knife was also stabbed and pierced into the back of its neck.
Lao Zhao suddenly jumped up, shouted "dodge", and kicked on the handle of the hunting knife, Xiao Zhang hurriedly turned his head when he heard the sound, and the blade of the hunting knife slashed against his neck, and plunged deep into the ground, the strange corpse raised his head and roared, desperately trying to break free from the ground, Xiao Zhang took the opportunity to roll on the spot and was able to get out, but his clothes were stained with that pungent liquid.
The strange corpse kept roaring and struggling, the wound on his neck was getting bigger and bigger, and he was about to get out of the hunting knife, "Grandma, Lao Tzu burned you with a fire, see if you are still powerful." Lao Zhao gritted his teeth and said, took out a bottle of liquid fuel, poured all his head and face on the body of the strange corpse, swept it on the ground with a steel pipe, and the raised sparks crackled and burned as soon as they touched the fuel.
It suddenly struggled, its neck was instantly cut by the blade, and a head rolled to the ground, bouncing on the green bricks, and a miserable scream came out of its mouth, which made my heart unbearable after hearing it, and I almost shed tears, and hurriedly blocked my ears to no longer listen. Its upper body suddenly stood upright, roaring and throwing the liquid fuel everywhere, igniting flames as soon as it touched the ground, and we had to run in all directions to avoid them.
The strange corpse suddenly leaned over again, and crawled straight towards Xiao Zhang with his elbows and knees again, Xiao Zhang's face turned pale with fright for a moment, and he forgot to run, a drop of liquid fuel stained his pants, he suddenly woke up, screamed, and retreated to the wall, the strange corpse bowed down, and wanted to pounce on him again, but in the end it was still unsuccessful, and fell to the ground, Xiao Zhang escaped death again, breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body softened like a noodle, and he slid down the wall and sat on the ground.
After another twenty minutes, the flames finally burned out, and the strange corpse was burned black, and its entire body shrank a lot, almost only a skeleton remained.
After making sure that it really stopped, we sat down and gasped for breath, and I felt a trace of guilt in my heart, it was still alive and broken, and it had to be immersed in the potion alive, and there was no peace after death, and the soul was imprisoned in this rotten body, bearing the pain of thousands of years, and the child in the womb was not yet born, it became such a monster that was neither human nor ghost, and finally we had to be burned like this.
After that, I began to look at myself again, and my first feeling after hearing about the origin of the corpse baby was very sympathetic and compassionate, but when this strange corpse appeared and attacked us, and my life was threatened, how could there be any pity in my heart?
There was only one thought left in my mind, and that was to smash this thing, but when it was burned like this, I began to feel pitiful again, and my state of mind was strange, but it was extremely normal.
If time could be turned back, I think I would do the same thing, not only me, even if it was anyone else, they would make the same choice, because this is human instinct, I saw a group of gentlemen trapped on the train, and finally in order to survive, they actually killed each other, feeding on the meat of the same kind, at the time I only thought it was very ridiculous, but now it seems that this kind of thing is really possible, in the face of the desire to survive, human nature is really worthless.
As the madman in the woods said, our civilization is like a delicate flower blooming from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly twice.
Lao Zhao has been mixing in the rivers and lakes all day long, very good at observing words and feelings, after seeing my expressions and movements, he already knew what I was thinking, patted me on the shoulder and said: "It has long been dead, now what you see is just a corpse without consciousness and no thoughts, a monster that only knows hatred and killing, and now it is burned by us, it can be regarded as a relief, come on, let's chant for it together." ā
Lao Zhao said that this sentence was originally very serious and serious, but later, his funny nature was once again exposed.
"Fuck off, when did you become a monk?" I kicked him lightly, and my mood immediately improved.
"Hey, I'm wondering, where did you say this thing came from?" Xiao Zhang has been silent since just now, I thought he was still palpitating, and it seems that he has been thinking about this issue.
I listened to his words, and my spirit immediately lifted, just now I only cared about dealing with the strange corpse and the corpse baby, and I actually ignored such a most essential problem, although these two things are strange, but they are both man-made, and they cannot transcend the physical form and the natural laws that exist in the universe, and it is impossible to appear out of thin air.
Then we just need to figure out where they came from, maybe we can find the exit, and even if we can't find the exit, we can prevent something from suddenly appearing in the shadows and biting us off one by one without realizing it, so that we don't even know how we died.
Thinking of this, I felt a chill down my spine, as if someone was lying on the back of my neck and blowing cool air, I turned around suddenly, but found that there was nothing behind, it seems that this is just my own psychological effect, Lao Zhao and Xiao Zhang were taken aback by my move, hurriedly turned back, and I smiled at them apologetically.
Xiao Zhang slapped his chest exaggeratedly, "I said Xiao Li, can you not be so surprised, I really can't bear this little heart, I'm about to be scared out of heart disease by you." ā
At this moment, I suddenly heard a "puff puff" sound, and I looked around, only to find that the sound came from the body of the strange corpse.
I saw that it was charred all over, and the flesh of its belly was high and bulging, as if something wanted to come out of it. "This ...... What's going on, isn't it...... Could this thing be ...... Can you live again? ā
One of my hearts seemed to be held by an invisible dead body, and I could barely breathe, and I asked in a trembling voice.
"There's something in there." Lao Zhao said in a deep voice, took the gun in my hand, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the abdomen of the strange corpse, and cautiously approached it step by step.
The change was sudden in an instant, and only a "poof" sound was heard, and a large hole was opened on the stomach of the strange corpse, and a bright red shadow came out of this mouth.
