My eyes were constantly observing everything around me, and my brain was thinking. Remember our address novel: It looks exactly like the usual blank supermarket, but there is definitely something different. At least there's an old man Li eating corpses here. Ordinary glass here can't be broken with a metal stool. The staff passage here is closed, and it is estimated that the door cannot be opened.

All the passages leading to the outside world here may not play a role in connecting. We were in the supermarket, completely cut off from the outside world. I suddenly thought of the gray space I saw at the top of the elevator, and I sighed. Even if you get out of this blank supermarket, what can you do, I'm afraid the outside world is no longer the world you are familiar with.

Staying where I was and being afraid was not an option, so I told the two of them to search the first floor thoroughly. It took us more than an hour to find three corpses, as well as some species that we didn't know if they were humans or some other unknown species.

Looking at them, my head suddenly grew bigger.

The creatures had snake-like bodies, and they were crawling slowly on the ground with bodies more than a meter long. Their faces are as tattered as rags, but they have the features of human beings. The eyes of these strange snakes are gray, and they don't seem to be able to see. Sensing our approach, they looked terrified and desperately tried to escape.

"It's disgusting!" Liu Huishan took a few steps back.

"It's really ugly enough. What exactly are these creatures? Zhou Rong kicked the body of the strange snake with his foot, and the strange snake suddenly let out a scream in fear.

He studied them for a while, and then said, "Looking at them, I think of a story." ”

"Tell me about it." I motioned for him to speak.

"It's said to be a real thing, and it's about a couple who went to Paris for their honeymoon a few years ago. In Paris, the wife tries on clothes at a fashion clothing store, and the husband waits outside the fitting room. But after waiting for a long time, his wife did not come out, and the nervous husband asked the clerk to help him check inside, but unexpectedly found that the fitting room was empty. The husband thought his wife was joking and making him nervous, so he went back to the hotel and waited for her to come back. ”

Zhou Rong made a mysterious appearance, "A few hours later, there was no trace of his wife, and he realized that the situation was serious." The husband rushed to the police and went to all the clothing stores and hospitals in Paris to inquire about his wife's whereabouts. Three weeks passed, and the wife seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news, and the sad husband could only pack up his baggage and return to his hometown. Unable to recover from despair, he had no intention of working and lived alone, deciding to exile himself and wander from place to place. ”

A few years later, he traveled to Bali on a whim to see a freak show in a dilapidated house. He saw a woman in a rusty iron cage with no limbs, her body, including her face, as tattered as rags and full of scars. She twisted on the ground and screamed like a beast. Suddenly, the man screamed in horror. He saw in the face of the inhuman woman, and he was all too familiar with the red birthmark on the face of his newly married wife, who had disappeared shortly after marriage. ”

Zhou Rong's gaze swept around the body of the strange snake, "Look at these strange snakes, don't you think they are very similar to the heroine of the story?" ”

"Don't say it, it's terrifying." Liu Huishan covered her ears.

I was silent, Zhou Rong's story was true, and the old woman had gone out of her way to investigate the organization that specialized in abducting and trafficking children and women. They use violence to get people back, and then cut off their hands and feet to make a deformed appearance to win the sympathy of passers-by. They tied strange-looking women and children to telephone poles and garbage cans. And sold to most countries around the world. A huge industrial chain has been formed.

However, the strange snake in front of him was obviously not artificially created through surgery. Their epidermis shows no signs of stitching, and the position of their hands and feet, although they have stumps, is small, but more like the result of natural evolution. It seems that some kind of organism has endured the ravages of a long time, and the evolution of a particular environment is due to the natural selection of the things around it.

Could this creature be a human in the past?

I shuddered at the human-like faces of those strange snakes. Force yourself not to think about it anymore.

Eyes begin to move to the three corpses. The three bodies were all women, the oldest in his forties, and the youngest in his early thirties. Their deaths were painful, and their lips were dry.

Zhou Rong saw their faces clearly, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "I know these three people!" ”

"You know?" I stared at him sharply, "Is it your relative or friend?" ”

"No, I don't know them, I've only seen pictures of them." Zhou Rong licked his trembling lips, "They are the three Obasans who disappeared on the first day of the opening of the Blank Supermarket. I know what they look like when they turn to ashes! ”

"You're saying they're the ones who disappeared three years ago?" I was amazed.

"How is that possible!" Liu Huishan also felt incredible, "How could they be here, and it looks like they just died." The corpse did not appear to be decomposing at all. ”

"I'm afraid I didn't just die." I squatted down and checked the condition of the three corpses, "Zhou Rong, do you remember how long the hair was when the three women disappeared?" ”

Zhou Rong lowered his head and looked at it carefully, "The hair in the corpse photo has grown a lot, probably more than ten centimeters." ”

I nodded, "I'm afraid they were dead three years ago." ”

"What do you mean? Have they really been dead for that long? Zhou Rong's face was full of disbelief.

"Look at her hair." I reached out and pulled the long yellow hair of the forty-year-old Obasan's head, "There are traces of bleaching at the ends, indicating that it has not been cut short since." If a person lived normally for three years, it would never have been possible to grow so short. At least up to the buttocks. ”

"Look at her nails again." I picked up the corpse's hand, and saw that the nails on the side were seven or eight centimeters long, and they had begun to bend, "If you want to survive in the current environment, you probably can't even tear open a bag of potato chips with such a long nail." ”

"What the hell is going on!" Zhou Rong was confused: "I don't understand what you want to elaborate at all!" Does this have anything to do with how long they die? ”

"Of course, I'm explaining to you the timing of the death of these corpses." I shrugged my shoulders, "They're dead shortly after they came to this space. After human death, most of the well-preserved corpses, in some environment, have nails and hair growing slowly. It also proves that they have been dead for a long time. ”
