Chapter 22

Although it was far away, I recognized it at first glance, it was the bullet holes of the assault rifle, and it was probably the old gun I had just found that made these bullet holes.

Why are they shooting in the top of the head, and what will be on it? I felt something come at me, frowned, and slammed the torch above my head.

What's there?

I saw a black bone shelf printed on the stone wall, in the same position as the corresponding stone platform on the ground.

This means that they were attacking the skeletons that had been dead for an unknown amount of time? But why?

Several thoughts flew through my mind, but in the end, I rejected them one by one.

The bone-eaters that appeared here, and the skeletons, would not have allowed this person to shoot upwards, even if the stone wall above them was falling downwards and the space was constantly compressing, they would not have tried to shoot through the stone wall above their heads with their guns - this stupid thing to do.

This is too infeasible, and looking at the way their blood is gathered, it is not like the upper and lower stone walls are closed, but compressed from side to side.

If you exclude these, there may be only one left, and that is the skeletons around them, which come to life.

When this thought appeared, it was like a sudden explosion of thunder in a silent space, and my head was confused for a while.

It is possible that the dead man's corpse is due to some change in the magnetic field, but these are already skeletons, and I don't know how long they have been here.

Even the organic matter in their bodies has been sucked up by those insects, and they are really completely dead.

To say that it is more difficult to bring these things back to life than to ascend to heaven, and regardless of the time after its death, a body without a soul also has the possibility of resurrection in metaphysics, but such a possibility also needs to follow certain laws.

But whenever some dead thing is brought to life, there must be a latent concept of life consciousness, which is an expression of all known human civilizations.

But as far as I know, there is not even a concept of the existence of life on these bones, neither in physics, nor in biochemistry, nor even in metaphysics, unless it is ......

Unless someone can give it a certain life factor again, even if it is not a physical structure, not a mental structure, at least it is a consciousness of existence; A substance that is cellular from a scientific point of view, or even a more basic organic substance.

I was so distracted by this structure that I was constructing life that I felt that my idea was too abrupt, maybe there were other living creatures here besides these skeletons, and they had some ability to climb, and then attack those people from above.

My eyes rested on the bullet holes above my head, and I couldn't leave for a long time, not knowing how to convince myself of what I was seeing.

The dead bugs on the ground, the quiet skeletons, and the sounds of getting closer and closer, all trapped me in this gloomy burial chamber.

I felt like I was going to encounter those things and shoot them in the head, but I didn't know why, I didn't know what those things were, and what they were in response to my thoughts.

Perhaps the only thing they have in common is that they all live here, and are used by the owner of the tomb to kill or banish the unscrupulous people who come here.

I can't find any other reason for this, maybe I should find a way out now and learn from the lessons of the past as soon as possible.

Before I could dodge, the stone platform beside me suddenly shook, and the skeleton lying on it jumped slightly.

All the bones seemed to come to life at this moment, and every part of it bounced off the stone face in a certain way, and I gritted my teeth and waved the torch over, and I saw that the stone platform was slowly oozing out streams of blood.

The blood flowed out along one side of the stone platform, and when it reached the ground, it began to spread and spread until it covered all the corners around the stone platform.

With the torch in hand, I looked along the edge of the blood and saw a few worms writhing in it, which were also blood-red and had elongated bodies.

The red-haired bugs writhed in a pool of blood, and they seemed to be just a kind of larvae, but I didn't know if they weren't bone-eaters.

The blood overflowed from the vine inscriptions on the stone platform, and quickly wrapped the stone platform, and the skeletons on it were gradually soaked in blood.

I stepped back cautiously, the torch in my hand swinging a few times around the bugs, and spilling a small amount of sulfur powder out.

After that, I brought the torch closer and set the powder on fire at once, only to see a burst of fire quickly rise from the blood on the ground.

The flying sparks soon surrounded the insects on the ground, and there was a crackling sound of burning.

But the blood in the stone platform was still pouring out, and I hurriedly stepped back, very anxious, and kept looking for an exit.

Under the light, there was a bare wall all around, there were no gaps, if the last group of people couldn't escape from here, would I die here like them?

Frightened by the thought and the vague fragments on the ground, I panicked, and finally I prepared to go back to the burial chamber next to me.

But at that moment, I heard a creaking sound behind me, and it was very dense and trivial.

Listening to my ears, one could not help but think of a terrible scene, and immediately I gritted my teeth, turned around and took off my rifle from my body, and when I saw the stone platform, I fired a few shots.

I know that there are not many bullets, and this gun is also very old, so it is a matter of whether it can be used or not, so even in this case, it is not possible to shoot continuously, and if the bullets are not fired, rapid and continuous shooting may cause the chamber to explode.

But the situation is not bad, this gun still works, but the recoil is a bit high, and when the first shot was fired, I was almost knocked down by this force.

After three shots, I enlisted Zhengshen'er, because the distance was not far, I was confident that I didn't miss, and I should have hit, but I don't know if it caused damage to this skeleton.

On the stone platform, the creaking sound finally disappeared, but the blood and the red caterpillar were still crawling out.

Gazing in the direction of the stone platform, the skeleton was quiet for two minutes...... Just two minutes later, he sat up from the stone platform.

I couldn't believe what I saw, that blood could bring to life a skeleton of bones that had been dead for an unknown number of years, ...... What kind of power should this be?

I was stunned for a few dozen seconds, and I felt that I really didn't have any need to resist, like a broken corpse on the ground.

Faced with such a living skeleton, how could I tell myself to shoot it. No, what's the use of me doing that? It's already a dead man, and it's been dead for so long, I'm shooting it with a gun, what kind of logic is this?!

Staring motionlessly at the blood-red skeleton, I couldn't recover for a long time, my body froze in place, unable to move a single step.

It seems that the brain is already garbled, and any nerves that can drive the body are short-circuited by the sight in front of them.

This is really testing my three views! But anyone who is a little sane will not believe what they see.

I believe what I saw that if it had woken up because of the blood, it would have needed more by now.

All the thoughts in my head finally boiled down to one word - escape!

I don't know how the red liquid in the stone platform has been preserved until now, and has been able to give life to the skeletons, but I don't have time to pursue this now, and I don't want to be that pile of broken corpses myself.

Yes, run! Be sure to run!

The thoughts in my heart were twisted together, and I turned around and ran, followed by a fishy smell like the wind behind me, I gritted my teeth, and with my own feelings, shot twice at the top of my head.

After two shots, I heard a bang, and a heavy thing fell from it.

I immediately paused, just about to turn back, I met a bloody human face, I said that it was a face I was reluctant, it was simply a skull was covered with a rotten human skin, those red blood streaks linked to a few insects, constantly crawling on the body, making people feel cold.

It is impossible to imagine how they maintain the skeleton's ability to move.

When I saw this face, I screamed in fright, picked up the torch in my hand and threw it at it.

In the firelight, several red caterpillar insects were burned by the fire, and their hairs curled up quickly, and fell off the skeleton's body, constantly twisting on the ground.

I looked at these things, and with a chill in my heart, I immediately took a few steps back and blocked my side with a torch.

In the firelight, the red liquid spread around me, and when it covered the red caterpillars, they writhed and crawled back onto the skeleton as if they had come to life.

I took a few steps back, and saw that the skeleton was covered with worms that looked like a beast's fur.

Discovering this, I was suddenly stunned, such a scene seems to be somewhat similar to the content in the file.

Although I didn't see the monster inside with my own eyes, facing the red-haired skeleton in front of me made me instinctively think of this.

Although the colors are different, with the living red-haired skeleton in front of me as a reference, I think I can already see what it is.

The constant wriggling of hair, although it looked more like a living person, made it feel more like a bunch of hair, a visual horror that made it difficult for me to face it.

The blood at my feet was getting closer, and I swung my torch at the blood, hoping to stop it.

Then he picked up the gun again, and was about to fire a few more shots, when suddenly a voice came from the darkness.

"Be careful!"

The voice sounded familiar, but it took me a second to make out who it was.

"Liu Ran, where are you!" I said this, ignoring the meaning of her words, and immediately saw the red-haired skeleton pounce on me.

The insects on its body kept swinging, but I had to dodge again, it was too late, and my heart was crossed, and I cursed, it seems that this time I have to fight this thing hand-to-hand.

When it was too late, I flew up and kicked it, but the distance was not enough, and I only kicked it in the leg, and I saw that the red caterpillars were shocked by its body and fell one after another.

These red caterpillars are so close that I can't stop anything, so I have to let them go, and now it's still important to save my life.

Immediately, I picked up the torch again and smashed it on the side of the skeleton, only to see it fall to the side of the stone wall.

After dodging the bloody skeleton, I stepped back, flung my body, and frantically fiddled with the red caterpillars that had fallen on me.

Because I had gloves on my hands, and I didn't look at them properly, and I was in a hurry, I was flustered, so I didn't feel anything.

Turning around, I looked for Liu Ran's voice just now to find their traces, but the place here is really not small, and I didn't pay attention to the sound just now, and it disappeared, so it's a little troublesome to find it now.

In the firelight, I searched along the stone platform, and at the same time the skeleton behind me chased after me again, and this time it moved with great speed and frequency.

As I sprinted, I glanced back at it, and saw a red shadow bounce up from the ground, climb the stone wall above me, and swoop down towards me from above.

At this moment, I was going to throw the torch out, maybe I could burn the red caterpillar and stop the skeleton.

"Get down!" In the darkness, Liu Ran's cold voice came again, and this time I heard it clearly, because she was nearby.

Immediately, I didn't have time to think about it, I hurriedly lay on the ground, and rolled to the side, and under the light of the fire, I saw a whoosh at the place where I had just been! A small black shadow flew out.

That thing is like a meteor in the air, and I can see that the person who threw this thing has extraordinary finger power, if I hadn't dodged it, I was hit like this, I was afraid that I would have a big bag on my head.

As soon as the thought flew, I immediately raised the torch again, and when I saw that the hairy skeleton had been struck by it, I paused slightly, and then I had to pounce forward again.

I yelled in my heart that it was not good, and when I was about to get up and run away again, I saw the hairy skeleton shake again, and the caterpillars all over my body fell off as quickly as skin, and the speed of falling off layer by layer was as if I had met a natural enemy.

The blood on the ground was soon covered with that kind of red caterpillars, like a red carpet covering the ground, but the way it kept wriggling was very seeping.
