Chapter Twenty-Six: Zombies
At this time, in the team of four, only one torch in the hands of the old sheepskin was left to illuminate, he walked in the middle with a torch, I found that the old sheepskin was much more energetic than before, maybe it was not because he ate too much fish, I think he shot in the incineration room to save Ding Sitian, although this matter is just between gestures, in exchange for me and the fat man to shoot this shot will not even blink an eye, but for the old sheepskin, it is equivalent to him defeating himself, but also untying the dead knot in his heart, it was because he was cowardly for a while, did not save his brother, I'm afraid I've been living in the shadow of that all these years. \\/
While I thought about the ups and downs, thinking about the old sheepskin, and thinking about the abnormal situations near the crematorium, I followed everyone forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and inadvertently glanced at the wall, the fat man walked in the front with a Kangxi long knife on his back, and then the old sheepskin that held the fire for lighting, followed by Ding Sitian, I walked at the end, the four of them were in a line formation, walking very compactly, because the cement pipe as a gutter was very narrow, so the firelight appeared much brighter than in the basement, and our figures were clearly reflected on the curved cement wall, As the four of them walked, the figures on the wall also swayed and undulated, but I found that there were not only four figures on the concrete wall, and I don't know when there was an extra dark shadow behind me.
The shadow followed us silently, just at the edge of the range of the firelight, as the old sheepskin moved, the torch was driven by the air flow to flicker and darken, and the last black shadow also appeared and disappeared from time to time, I felt that my scalp was numb, my heart was not good, I was afraid of something, this was the ghost in the crematorium who followed out indispersibly, I didn't dare to make a noise, slowed down slightly, and listened to the movement behind me, but behind me except for a cold that penetrated my heart and lungs, where was the slightest sound.
I noticed that there was an extra shadow on the wall of the cement pipe, and I thought that this was really a torn pants and legs, and I followed here without a ghost, but when I listened to the movement behind me, there was no sound, as if there was nothing behind the four of us, except for an extra ghost.
I did not dare to act rashly, but I wondered in my heart the intention of the ghost, and it obviously could not directly lead us to death, what is the reason for this? It is likely that the Kangxi treasure knife of the old sheepskin can really be evil, and it is lighter than the weapon that has killed people in the battle array, and it has three points of ferocity, the more people you kill, the heavier the evil qi on the blade, although the Kangxi Emperor drove the imperial expedition in person, and may not go into battle to kill, but the thing forbidden in the royal family is extraordinary, and the ghost may be a little afraid of this knife, which indirectly attacked us.
These thoughts flashed through my mind, but I didn't stop at my feet. I saw that the torch in the old sheepskin's hand was about to burn out, and if we didn't take advantage of the light to see what was going on, it would be even more disadvantageous for us to drag it on. Although I was terrified in my heart, I had to go back and see clearly, I am afraid that we would not be able to escape until we completely got rid of the entanglement of the undead in this incineration room.
I was surprised, turned around suddenly, full of thinking that I could see something, and then beckoned the fat man to draw a knife to exorcise the ghost, but unexpectedly pounced, only the long and dark drain pipe in front of me, not to mention the ghost, not even a tide insect, cockroach and other insects, the shadow on the wall disappeared almost the moment I turned around, leaving only the stinky air in the dark.
I looked into the depths of the drain, and my heart was pounding, and I could feel that in the invisible darkness, there were indeed two resentful eyes, and when I looked over there, I felt goosebumps all over my body, and a chill penetrated my chest, but by the light of a torch, we could do nothing.
I was hesitating, but the old sheepskin and the other three were frightened by the movement of my sudden turn and jump just now, and thought that something was happening behind me, so they all stopped and looked back deeply, they saw me staring directly at the dark place of the drainage ditch and were stunned, and thought that I was too frightened in the crematorium, and hurriedly pulled me to ask.
I thought to myself, "If you just found out that there is a ghost behind us, wouldn't you be alarmed?" It's better to say it for the time being, and just act when the opportunity arises. He only said to everyone: "I walked in this stinky ditch for a long time and didn't see an exit, so I couldn't help but be a little worried, so I stopped to check the terrain." ”
Ding Sitian comforted me and said: "This drainage pipe is long and deep, presumably there should be many building facilities on the ground in addition to the three-story building where the crematorium is hidden, in that case, there will always be other waterways connected to it, and the sewage will eventually converge in one place, let's keep walking, sooner or later we will see the exit." ”
I nodded yes, perseverance to the end is victory, from the morning to look for the cattle to begin, until now it has been past midnight, this day is really difficult and long, but can not find the exit, it is not time to relax, but also to be vigilant and continue to move forward, so I let the old sheepskin change a new torch lit, and asked the fat man to ask for a Kangxi knife, the four of them beat the spirit to continue to move forward, I still broke the back, pay attention to the movement behind me anytime and anywhere, but this way down, but there is no abnormality.
The speed of the torch consumption exceeded our expectations, and if we didn't climb out of the stinky ditch, once there was no light, there was no hope of leaving here, we had to speed up the pace of movement, and we didn't think that we would go far away, and we saw that a few meters in front of the filled cement pipe wall, it was blocked by an iron fence, the bottom of the iron fence was locked by a large lock, a mass of chains half fell into the water, the iron bars were the thickness of eggs, and there was a rectangular iron cover full of drainage holes above the head, but it was too narrow to get out, and it was locked from above, It is impossible to push it away from the bottom, and when we see this situation, our hearts are immediately half cold, and this time it is over, and there is no way forward.
The old sheepskin squatted down and touched it in the black water under the iron fence, and suddenly said happily: "Don't worry, my knife is a royal treasure knife, after so many years, the steel mouth is still so sharp, although the iron bar is cut, but the section of the iron chain held by the lock is soaked in muddy water, and it has rusted and discolored, so why is it difficult to cut it with a knife?" ”
When I heard this, my heart moved, and I also went to check the iron chain locked by the lock, there was no lock position on the iron grid, only there was a movable iron chain on the outside, maybe it was a temporary chain at the time, so it slipped to the bottom, and the section that fell into the muddy water has been rusted through, and the iron chain is much thinner than the iron grid, Kangxi Bao knife imitates the Mongolian long knife shape, it is a heavy knife on the back of the horse sharp weapon, although it can not be sharpened iron like mud, but it is not difficult to cut the iron chain full of rust, and quickly let the fat man and Ding Sitian hold the iron chain, and see who drew the knife and chopped it, The rusty chain with thick fingers broke off the blade, and then looked at the blade, and there was no chipping.
Everyone praised the speed of the sword, and pushed open the iron fence together, and a few steps ahead, there was another cross passage, one of which was too narrow, and the other two sides had an iron gate that could drain water. But it can be opened on our side, it seems that this is already a different area, after opening the largest iron door, I did not rush in, remembering the feeling of being locked in the incineration room not long ago, there is no way to enter the ground, and it is still terrifying, fortunately it is a crematorium and not a prison, otherwise even if there is a drain, it will definitely not be able to get in. Eat a trench. Long a wisdom. This time, the gate switch will be broken at the door, in case you can't get out in front. It's not a dead end.
We made sure several times that we would never be locked in before stepping inside. But then there is still a stinky ditch with no end to the pipe network, and we feel that the drainage pipe grows headless, which is actually probably an illusion, because the environment is rancid and narrow, the body is exhausted, and the walking is extremely slow, so this feeling will occur.
After traveling for a distance, some narrower branch drains finally began to appear on both sides of the pipe, but the diameter of these drainage pipes was no more than the size of a basketball, and only rats and cockroaches could get into it, and there were a few narrow long house-shaped water leaks, which were also undrillable, and the outside of the pipes was all pitch black, and I couldn't see what it was, and not all areas were equipped with drainage covers as large as incineration rooms.
I walked at the end of the line, I didn't pay much attention to the changes in the terrain in the sewer, these were enough to Ding Sitian and others, I focused my attention on the back to prevent accidents, then Ding Sitian in front of me suddenly stopped, I was unprepared, almost hit her, I looked at it, it turned out that the fat man and the old sheepskin in front of me had stopped, I was about to ask them what happened, but by the light of the torches in the team, I had already found that there was a reason.
On the cement pipe wall very close to the fat man in front of the fat man, there is a pitch-black ring, almost the diameter of the water tank mouth, the shape of the ring line is in and out of the outside, and it is not regular, there is such a black circle on the gray-white cement wall under the firelight, which is particularly conspicuous, the fire light is flickering, only to see the black ring on the cement wall seems to be slightly wriggling, the fat man saw it at a glance, thought it was a black water snake curled up on the wall, and then stopped.
I thought to myself, it's hard to say whether there is black in the water snake, let alone how can the water snake be coiled in a circle and stick to the wall? Even if the snake is so long, it will not be so thin, and there is no mud earthworm here, but it is not that we are mistaken, the black ring on the wall is not a trace of silt, it is indeed moving, although the range of action is very small, if you don't look carefully, you may be ignored, you will think that it is just a ring mark painted with black mud.
This black ring caught our attention, and after seeing clearly that it was not a coiled circle of water snakes, the four of them took two steps closer, and looked at the wall clouds and deepened their eyes, and they couldn't help but be shocked all over their bodies, and felt that their scalps were blown up, and there was a gap in the cement wall, and all the cockroaches crawled out and crawled in, the small ones were not much bigger than sesame grains, they were all small cockroaches that had just grown, and this annular crack was used as a nest by them, just around a circle, if it was a little farther away in the dim fire, You'd think it was a wriggling black ring on the wall.
Ding Sitian looked disgusted, wanted to leave immediately, and continued to move forward to find the exit, I grabbed her and said: "The underground water road is similar to the labyrinth, we can't even identify the direction, and the torches are almost running out. ”
The fat man also said: "It must be like this, you can think of it with your ass, how easy is it to have such a regular shape on the cement pipe." He had long been in the foul-smelling gutter, and he no longer looked closely, but raised his foot, and took the middle part of the cement annular crack at once, and shook the countless small cockroaches in the gap to flee one after another.
This cement wall is not too big, the annular gap is chiseled from the inside, so that the joints that are not too tight are crawling with cockroaches, the cement block is panting and falling off by the fat man, the big and small cockroaches are running around the wall, the old sheepskin hurriedly waved the torch to drive them away, behind the cement is a low tunnel dug by manpower, the internal ups and downs are very irregular, only with both knees arched up, can I climb into it with great difficulty, I was curious, I wanted to exhaust the secret, so I took the torch and drilled into it, this tunnel is only seven or eight meters long, At the end, there is an exit covered with floor tiles. Pushing up to reveal it, I poked my head out to look, and the exit was under the bed in a room with a lot of things in the room.
Ding Sitian and others beckoned me to come out quickly, I was afraid that she would worry, so I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I had to climb out of the tunnel backwards first and tell everyone what I saw. After walking in the stinking ditch for a long time, everyone felt suffocated and nauseous, and was about to be smoked to death, even if there was a passage into a house, it was better to go in first to breathe, and there seemed to be many things in that room, and maybe food and lighting could be found, so that there would be a little more hope of survival.
Everyone agreed at the moment. It was I who climbed in first. At first, I thought that this was a prison cell, and the gap in the sewer was the escape place of the people who were imprisoned inside, but when I looked through the exit under the bed, I denied my own judgment, the prison cell would never be like this, I turned over the floor tiles and beds above my head, and pulled the other three people up one by one, everyone raised the fire and looked around, and they all felt very surprised, although this is a basement, it is obviously equipped with perfect ventilation holes, air circulation, and there is no feeling of stuffiness in the chest at all, The room is typically European-style, and there is even a decorative fireplace, which gives the illusion of being in an exotic place, with all the necessities and shelves full of books on the walls, but the circuitry has long been cut off, and the lights are no longer available.
Ding Entian saw that there was a decorative candlestick in the house, and there were a few intact candles on it, so he went over and picked it up and took the fire on the torch, and then held the candlestick and looked around curiously, and unconsciously walked into the outhouse, and the fat man saw that there were a few bottles of foreign wine on the shelf, and he happened to be thirsty, so he copied it and poured a few mouthfuls, and the old sheepskin had never seen the world, and he didn't know what the fat man was drinking, so he asked me what was in the glass bottle.
I was just about to answer, but I heard Ding Sitian, who had already walked to the outer room, exclaimed, the three of us hurriedly rushed over to answer when we heard the sound, Ding Sitian saw us arrive, and quickly hid behind me in horror, we didn't need to ask to know what horror she had seen, and took the candlestick to this room to shine, but also startled.
The fat man still had half a mouthful of foreign wine in his mouth and didn't have time to swallow it, and he squirted out all the wine in one gulp: "How can there be a dead monkey here?" The old sheepskin said in a trembling voice: "Don't talk nonsense, where is this monkey, there are most such things in the deserted grave in my hometown in Shaanxi, this is ...... Be...... Yes, yes......" He was also panicked at this time, and in the end, he couldn't come out with "yes".
I saw a tall male corpse sitting on the wooden chair in the outhouse, the corpse was wearing a nightgown, the body had no water, it had become a zombie, a layer of white hair like bird feathers grew on the purple dead skin, and the lower body was full of animal hair, and the curly and sharp nails were constantly growing, and they had been bent, and their facial features were hideous, and they were dead with their mouths open, and their appearance was unrecognizable because of the growth of corpse hair after death.
I said for the old sheepskin: "It's a zombie, no one should touch it, and if the living don't touch it, it won't be a corpse." The fat man didn't believe it: "How do you know it's a zombie?" Can you jump up just by touching it? You want to scare me again, don't you? ”
I only paid attention to the strange corpse in front of me, deaf to the fat man's life, I had never seen a zombie before, but it was said to be like this, in the candlelight I saw that on the desk in front of the zombie, there were a few yellowed papers full of words, maybe those papers were written by the dead corpse, maybe it would help us to escape from here, so I gave the candlestick to the fat man, let him hold the light, I covered my mouth and nose and carefully walked to the corpse, reached out and picked up the papers, and then quickly retreated.
I asked the fat man and the old sheepskin to stare at the dead body and the candle, and as soon as there was any abnormality, I quickly retreated to the sewer, and then lifted the yellowed page to see that it was densely packed with Russian, my Russian level was too low, so I had to let Ding Sitian see what was written, was there valuable information in it?
Ding Sitian quickly flipped through a few pages, casually translated a few sentences for us, the more I listened, the more thrilling I became, it turned out that this was a Russian scientist who was under house arrest by the Japanese, and was forced to participate in an operation in this secret facility, these letters were his suicide notes, and the suicide note mentioned many unimaginable facts, and the Japanese army dug up some incredible things from this hundred-eye cave.
Ding Sitian's Russian has not been picked up for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will be rusty when she temporarily huddles with Buddha's feet, and it is a little difficult to read this suicide note, I asked her not to worry, sit in the back room and read it slowly, and then tell me the details of it when she has eyebrows, and then I discussed with the fat man and the old sheepskin, the condition of this zombie after death is too strange, and there will be trouble after leaving it, let's want to rest here for a while, and it is difficult to feel at ease when guarding a dead person, so we simply don't do it, don't stop, and dispose of the body first.
