Chapter Seventy-Four: The Survivors

Huang Yaju translated Guo Jiefang's words to the white-haired old man, and the white-haired old man was taken aback and muttered, "I really didn't expect it...... In the end, it turned out that the Communist Party won the world...... So our Japanese army must have been defeated? ”。

Guo Jiefang said proudly: "Of course, all unjust wars of aggression will eventually be annihilated in the vast sea of people's wars......!" ”。

The white-haired old man trembled, and said with tears in his eyes: "So, the war has long been over?" ”。

Guo Jiefang replied: "Of course, the war ended more than 30 years ago, why are you still here?" ”。

The white-haired old man wiped a handful of tears and said tremblingly: "Now that the war is over, I can also go home!" But my family is dead here, so what's the point of me going out? ”。

Guo Jiefang couldn't help but be very interested in the identity of the white-haired old man, so he asked the white-haired old man, "What's your name?" ”。

The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment by Guo Jiefang's question, and naturally said to himself: "Yes? What's my name? ”。 He scratched his long white hair, and said in a trance, "Is my name Kurata?" No, no! That old guy was already eaten by me...... Should I be called Benya Haraya? No, he seems to be dead a long time ago! What should I be called? ”。 Suddenly, the white-haired old man's eyes lit up, and he stretched out a finger with long nails, pointed to his nose and said, "My name seems to be Maruyama...... By the way, I should call Maruyama ......! ”。

The four of them were taken aback and exchanged glances with each other. Guo Jiefang thought to himself: "It turns out that this white-haired old man is the person in charge of the secret laboratory...... So, all the monsters in the fortress were made by the white-haired old man in front of him? ”。

Guo Jiefang asked the white-haired old man through Huang Yaju: "Are you the person in charge of the laboratory, the crazy Marushan?" Are the "undead" roaming the fortress your handiwork? ”。

The white-haired old man was taken aback, he didn't expect that these people on the other side would have such an understanding of his past, and his face became very ugly for a while, and a thin face like a skeleton gradually became hideous!

Guo Jiefang's heart tightened, and his heart was not good, this old boy wanted to turn his face. Then he put the submachine gun at one end and shouted: "Be honest, hurry up and tell the truth...... Our party's policy is to be lenient in confession, strict in resistance, and refusal to confess, there is only one dead end! ”。

Niu Jianjun, Li Yuanchao, and Huang Yaju also shouted: "Yes, hurry up and explain!" ”。

Under the strong deterrence of the four people, Maruyama finally lowered his head, willing to truthfully confess the serious crimes he had committed against the Chinese people, and he defended himself by saying that he was just a scientific researcher, and he had never participated in the war at all, but only carried out scientific research work according to the orders of the military department, and he also emphasized that he himself liked Chinese culture very much, and he also collected a lot of ancient Chinese cultural relics ......!

Guo Jiefang heard that Maruyama was exculpating himself, and he was angry, and he was about to reprimand Maruyama angrily. Suddenly, I heard him say that he had collected a lot of ancient cultural relics, and his heart moved, so he asked him if he had ever seen a bronze ancient bottle with eight ghost heads at the mouth of the bottle?

When Maruyama heard Guo Jiefang ask about this bottle, the smile on his face immediately froze, and his eyes were full of horror! He told Guo Jiefang that the bottle had been discovered during the construction of the tunnel, and that Commander Benjamin had given it to him because he had a close personal relationship with him. I didn't expect this bottle to be very strange, and every midnight at ten o'clock the bottle would make a strange noise. He was scared and asked Benja to lock the bottle in his vault. Later, he wrote to his classmates to ask for help in identifying the bottle.

Later, the classmate wrote back to him and said that according to the analysis of the pattern he depicted, the bottle should be an ancient cultural relic of the Liaojin period, and it was probably a magic vessel used by shamans at that time! And the strange statue of the fox-faced snake body carved in the middle of the bottle is probably a kind of god ...... of the early Khitans! Shortly after his classmates wrote back to him, the construction site dug the big hole that destroyed the entire fortress...... As a result, he completely lost contact with the outside world, and he was trapped for more than 30 years......!

Guo Jiefang was curious, so he asked him again, how did you survive in the fortress for so many years? What do you eat? Can't the "living dead" and "ghouls" in the fortress catch you? Maruyama rubbed his nose and told Guo Jiefang that he also thought of suicide when he was first trapped, but at that time he wanted to find his wife's bones, so he persevered. He hid in the corners of the fortress, he ate whatever he saw, he was never a picky eater, he had eaten rotten human flesh, rat meat, all kinds of insects, and moss growing on the walls, he ate everything he could eat anyway, and of course he was able to occasionally find some special cellars, which were the key to keeping him from being caught by "undead" and "ghouls"! Of course, over the years, he has also summed up some weaknesses of the "undead", and by using these weaknesses, he can easily get rid of the entanglement of the "undead"! However, the "ghoul" was his eternal nightmare, and he watched out for the "ghoul" day and night, until one day a strange person came to the fortress!

When Maruyama said this, he suddenly stopped, staring at Guo Jiefang with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to interpret something from Guo Jiefang's expression! Guo Jiefang was a little hairy by Maruyama's staring, so he asked what strange people were in Maruyama Fortress?

Maruyama obviously didn't find what he was looking for from Guo's face, so he let out a long breath and continued: "That man is dressed the same as you, he seems to be looking for something inside the fortress!" However, it was clear that he was not looking for gold or silver treasures, and I saw him open the door to the fortress's treasury, but his expression seemed to be disappointed...... He came many times later, and the last time, he used a very strange method to drive the "ghoul" back to the deep cave where he had been! Then the man set up some traps at the entrance of the cave, drew some charms, and then left the fortress! Since then, the whole fortress has been much cleaner, and I can sleep safely, and ......! ”。 Maruyama had a long-lost smile on his face: "And I found my wife's body, although he has been gnawed to the bones by the "undead"! I cremated her bones on a wooden frame and carried them with me day and night as if she were still alive...... You see that's ...... her! ”。

Maruyama's eyes flashed with a warm glow, and he took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms to show Guo Jiefang. Chinese people have a natural fear of death, and when Maruyama stuffed the urn in his hand, he already had goosebumps on his body.

Huang Yaju also panicked, and hurriedly pulled out her pistol and shouted to Maruyama: "Don't move, what are you going to do?" ”。

Maruyama looked at Huang Yaju in confusion, and said to Guo Jiefang with a wincing: "I want to ask you for one thing, if you can get out of here alive, please take my wife out with you!" When she was alive, she loved the blue sky and green trees...... She often told me that she didn't like to live in a fortress, that it was like a tomb, and that she was almost out of breath...... I think she must be very unwilling to die here! Please, take her out......! ”。

Niu Jianjun asked Maruyama puzzled, "What are you asking us to do?" Aren't you dead yet? Wouldn't you just take the ashes out yourself? ”。

Maruyama smiled coldly and asked Niu Jianjun, "Do you know how to get out?" ”。

Niu Jianjun smiled and said, "Joke, I don't know how to get out, do you know?" ”。

Maruyama mockingly pointed to the big hole in the southwest corner and said, "Do you think the exit is?" ”。

Niu Jianjun was confused by Maruyama's expression, and nodded busily and said: "That's right, what Lao Tzu said is the entrance of the cave, if you hadn't bothered, Lao Tzu would have gone down to the bottom of the cave a long time ago, how could there be any effort to waste spittle with you?" ”。

Maruyama suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "You still want to get out from there?" It's whimsical, if it weren't for me, you might have been swallowed by the ghouls by now! ”。

The four of them were shocked, and Guo Jiefang said loudly to Maruyama: "Old man, don't disturb the morale of the army here, it's alarmist!" You must know that the train is not pushed, and Lao Tzu is not a mud pile, how can you believe you with just one word? Besides, Lao Tzu still has a map drawn by Benya Qingya himself, what do you say about this? ”。

Guo Jiefang said, and Oki Maruyama raised the map in his hand. Maruyama took the map, looked at it carefully, smiled at Guo Jiefang, and said, "I know Commander Benya's handwriting, and there is a map here that he didn't draw at all!" ”。

Guo Jiefang took back the fake map that Maruyama handed him, and shone it in the firelight, which was the half of the map they found in the hands of Benya Hariya later!

Niu Jianjun was furious and said, "Old man, you are talking nonsense, this map was obviously found by us in the hands of Benya Qingya, how can it be fake?" Could it be that the guy named Benya Haruya had already calculated that we would come? ”。

Maruyama smiled and said, "If you think I'm talking nonsense, you can go down from where now, and I won't stop you from ......!" ”。

Niu Jianjun saw Maruyama's expression of being beaten up, and his heart was nameless, and he rolled his arms and sleeves to go up to beat Maruyama.

Guo Jiefang felt that the entrance of the cave was not quite right just now, and when he heard Maruyama say this, he became even more suspicious, he stopped Niu Jianjun and asked Maruyama: "You said that the ghouls were introduced into the cave, do you mean this deep hole?" Was it the same ...... that destroyed the entire fortress in the first place? ”。

Maruyama's eyes flickered, and he nodded firmly. He squirmed quickly, and then whispered in a hoarse voice, as if afraid, "If you don't believe it, wait a little longer, and then you will see a strange sight that you have never seen in your life......!"
