Chapter 229 - Beast Fish
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "You mean, they all died on it?" ”。
Brother Zhang didn't answer me, but just asked me, "Are you afraid?" ”。
I nodded and said, "Afraid, will we be like them?" ”。
Brother Zhang sighed miserably and said, "We are all dead on the left and right, do you still care about how to die?" ”。
I couldn't help but be silent, unable to answer his question! The torches "beeped" and no one said a word! The past life is like a passing cloud of smoke flashing in front of my eyes, and the long life of more than 20 years is condensed in this moment!
In the blink of an eye, I looked back on my life and found that everything was so pale and powerless in the face of death! Brother Zhang suddenly said to me, "Boy, we should go up!" ”。 So he and I walked over to the rope. Brother Zhang handed me the torch, tugged on the rope again, and said, "I'll go up first, you follow me!" ”。 After saying that, he shrugged himself and climbed up!
I waited for him to climb up the rammed earth platform, and then I climbed up the rope as well! Brother Zhang leaned down and dragged me up, we sat on the ground and gasped, and just about to turn over, we heard a sudden noise behind us!
I was startled, and waved my torch behind me, only to see behind us, sitting against the wall, a dried corpse, wearing a robe, holding a rusted axe, and its face was rotten, only a thin layer of fascia remained!
Brother Zhang and I were both shocked, and when we saw that it was a dead person, we were relieved! We quickly got up and walked to the dead man, and Brother Zhang broke the dead man's fingers and pulled out the axe!
I raised the torch and took a closer look at the dead body, and asked Brother Zhang, "Who is this?" How did he die here? ”。
Brother Zhang looked at the dead body and said, "Looking at his dress, he looks like a peasant!" ”。
I asked curiously, "How did the peasants die here?" ”。
Brother Zhang fiddled with the axe in his hand and said to me: "Don't you know, a few years ago, we had a great drought here, and the crops were not harvested, and many local farmers went to the mountains with hoes in groups to dig graves. I think he might have come in at that time, but I didn't expect to die ...... inside! ”。
I grinned my teeth and asked, "Then how did he die?" ”。
Brother Zhang frowned and said, "I don't know, maybe he's like us, and he can't get out if he comes in?" Starved to death here? ”。
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't look like ......!" ”。
Brother Zhang asked, "Since he didn't starve to death, how did he die?" ”。
Brother Zhang and I couldn't guess how this person died here in the first place. We were just about to turn around and leave, when Brother Zhang suddenly found a big hole in the clothes on the chest of the dead body! He didn't think much about it, he easily opened the dead man's clothes, and as soon as the clothes of the dried corpse were opened, I could see that something was wrong!
It turns out that although the body of this dried corpse is intact, the inside has been completely hollowed out, and what sits in front of us is nothing more than an empty shell without internal organs! I have seen this situation with Brother Zhang, and I can't help but sweat in fright, and I break out in a cold sweat!
I couldn't help but think to myself, no wonder I couldn't see the cause of his death, it turned out that he had let the beast take it alive! Brother Zhang stabbed me and said, "It's not good, he let the wolf give Huo Huo!" ”。
I said, how could there be a wolf in this tomb? Brother Zhang said, what else would it be if it wasn't a wolf? The wolf is the most cunning beast, and when there is enough food, it only eats the belly of its prey! When I was selling salt a few years ago, I met a man who was taken out by a wolf on the road, and although he did not die immediately, the intestines in his stomach had been pulled out by the wolf! He slowly crawled up to me, grabbed my shoes with his blood-stained fingers, and cried out and begged us, "Uncle, have mercy on me!" Strike me in the heart...... Give it a good time! If there is an afterlife, I will be a cow and a horse to repay your great kindness! ”。 You don't see it, that's really miserable!
We were talking, but suddenly we heard a strange noise in the darkness! Brother Zhang and I were taken aback, and quickly stopped talking and looked into the darkness! Not far from us, there were a few lantern-like green lights, floating around in the darkness, surrounding us!
Brother Zhang changed color and said: "It's not good, Cao Cao Cao is here, let's be in trouble now!" ”。
As soon as the two of us saw that the situation was not good, we quickly retreated to the bottom of the second layer of rammed earth walls, close to the rammed earth walls, in case they sneaked up from behind! I held my pistol and aimed at the green light in the darkness, and asked Brother Zhang, "Brother Zhang, what are these things?" ”。
Brother Zhang licked his chapped lips, grabbed the axe and said, "What else can it be?" Isn't this a fucking wolf? ”。
I asked, "How many are there?" ”。
Brother Zhang counted them and said, "There are about three ......!" ”。
I shot at the nearest wolf, and after the shot rang out, all the green light disappeared in an instant! Brother Zhang grabbed my pistol and whispered, "Don't shoot, wait until they get closer!" ”。
I settled down and asked Brother Zhang, "Where are they?" ”。
Brother Zhang whispered, "They're hiding!" We can't stay here any longer, quick! You step on my shoulder and go up first! ”。
So I pinned the pistol to my waist, stepped on Brother Zhang's shoulder, and climbed up to the third floor of the rammed earth platform! After we climbed to the third floor, we found that the rammed earth platform was empty, there was nothing, and we were about to continue to climb up, when we heard the wolf howl on the second floor of the earth platform!
I thought to myself, no matter how powerful this wolf is, he can't come up, right? So I stood on the edge of the third layer of rammed earth platform, and held the torch downward, and by the light of the fire, I finally saw the wolves clearly!
To say that they are wolves is a bit of a stretch, or more accurately, that they are wolves that have died but have come back to life! The wolves that had risen from the dead, stared at me viciously, their fur was rotten, and there was only a skeleton of bones left on their bodies, and they were still running like they were alive!
They stared at me viciously, and let out a terrifying growl in their throats! I guess there's only one thought left in their rotten brains, which is to bite everything they see!
Brother Zhang glanced down, and he was startled, and he said to me, "It's not a wolf below, but three droughts!" I asked him, "Didn't the droughts become man?" How can a wolf become a marry? ”。
Brother Zhang told me that there are two kinds of drought fish, one is a ghost fish and the other is a beast fish! Humans have become collectively known as ghosts, and those that have been transformed from animals have become beasts! I then asked him, how can we destroy these beasts when they come back from the dead?
Brother Zhang said that these beasts are nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, and live to death, and there is a demonic aura stirring in their bodies, as long as they smash their brains and break their evil qi, they will still die!
I clapped my hands and laughed, "In that case, what else do we have to be afraid of?" ”。
Just when I was rejoicing, the three beasts below suddenly became angry, they strained their bodies, and jumped up in the air, Brother Zhang and I didn't see it well, turned around and ran! Ran to the bottom of the wall and looked back, and the three beasts had all jumped up!
I quickly pulled out my pistol and aimed it at a beast and fired a bullet that broke one of the beast's hind legs, but it didn't realize it, and still dragged the broken leg towards us!
After I fired one shot, I was about to fire a second shot, but Brother Zhang pressed my muzzle and said, "Don't tremble, aim at their heads!" ”。
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and settled down! I know that there are only four bullets left in my gun, the first one is on the body of the mortgar, the second one has broken the hind legs of the beast, and if the third bullet misses, then we are in danger!
I gripped the handle of the gun firmly with both hands, and at the same time held my breath, and steadily aimed the muzzle door and crosshair at the beast in the middle! I saw the jagged ribs under its fur, and the empty ribcage inside the ribs!
I put my finger on the trigger, and with a slight push, the barrel of the gun shook, followed by a deafening gunshot! The bullet shattered the beast's skull just as it was about to jump to the ground!
At the same time, the remaining two beasts rushed up one after another and pounced on me and Brother Zhang! I quickly turned the muzzle of my gun and tried to kill the beast that pounced on me, but the beast was so fast that before I could take aim, it had already put its grip on my shoulder! I felt a foul stench, and the beast's big mouth had reached out!
I panicked, I didn't know what to do, just at this moment, Brother Zhang cut down the beast that pounced on him with an axe, and then turned around and grabbed the mane of the beast on my body!
As soon as the beast struggled, the fur on its body was ripped off by Brother Zhang's "stab", Brother Zhang used too much force, kicking, kicking, and kicking back a few steps, and then stabilized his body! The beast was stripped naked, but it was still brave, and it bared its fangs and pulled it into my neck in one bite!
I was so frightened that I screamed "oops", my neck shrank, and I was able to avoid the bite of the beast, and in the blink of an eye, Brother Zhang also came back to his senses, he copied the axe and rode on the body of the beast, and picked up the axe and hacked the beast to death!
When I saw Brother Zhang hacking the beast to death, I was shocked, wiped the cold sweat on my face, and thanked him frequently! Brother Zhang pulled out the axe from the beast's head, waved his hand at me, and said, "Don't be polite to me, you kid, maybe I'll trouble you in a while!" ”。
