Chapter 9: Corpses

Nothing to see.

I stood still, not daring to move.

There was a faint sound around, like the sound of water.

But soon, a myriad of tiny rustles engulfed everything, and when they climbed up my feet, I realized they were all corpse worms.

The sour tingling sensation is here again.

I couldn't stand up straight anymore, so I could only crouch down, and the corpses crawled desperately on top of me, and I slapped them hard to shake them off my body.

"Ho ho ho ho ~~" A voice laughed behind my ear, and the slight cold air blew directly on my earlobe, I turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind me.

"Uh-uh-uh~~" Someone gasped beside me, and I punched hard, but there was only sticky air there.

The heaviness and exhaustion were getting heavier and heavier, and I was already so sore, that I couldn't even squat.

The corpse worm had crawled up to my neck, but I didn't even have the strength to move.

Like in that previous dream, I'm going to be eaten alive by them?

I don't want it!

Suddenly there was a flash of light in front of me, and there was a thud, like someone had shot me in the ear.

Scorching flames burst out from my chest, and countless balls of fire fell from me with screams and writhed on the ground. With me as the center, a ball of fire erupted, burning the surrounding area into a sea of fire.

Piercing screams filled my ears, but I felt nothing but warmth.

The soreness and numbness are gone.

The cries of children, the muffled cursing of women, and the screams of screams, but I was suddenly no longer afraid of these things.

"Here you go!" I shouted at the void.

The darkness suddenly dissipated, and I could see around again, Xiao Ling was less than five meters in front of me, looking at me with a pale face, Master Lu's nostrils began to bleed again, and the boss was rolling down the hillside.

He landed on the ground, but apparently nothing had happened, and jumped up in a panic.

"What's wrong?" He screamed loudly. "What's wrong?"

"I know where they are!" I said to Master Lu.

There was only one part of the entire site like the grave, cold, damp, and completely dark, and when the corpses crawled up my body again, I finally knew what it was.

Water intake.

It was a natural spring on the side of the road two kilometers upstream of the whole project, and there was water all year round.

In order to raise the water level and ensure that the water source was not contaminated, we had the workers seal it with concrete, leaving only two outlets underneath.

The entire construction site, including the project department, is connected from the water pipe.

Master Lu dragged his injured body and I to rush there, and the boss called to inform Zhang Jingui to transfer people from the channel, and we transported the air compressor and wind pickaxe together.

From the outside, nothing could be seen, only grayish-black and brownish concrete, which was caused by impure sand. But when it dries, it looks like the color of Sanhe soil.

I said to Zhang Jingui: "Chisel it!" ”

The two pickaxes started together, making a screeching noise, and Lu Xiaoling helped Master Lu to stand aside, quietly waiting for the result.

A fist-sized hole was quickly punched out, and no one dared to go over to look at it, so I took the flashlight from Zhang Jingui's hand and lay on it.

In the faint light, I saw blue-black clothes.

That's our company's overalls.

"It's inside! Fast! I screamed.

Fortunately, the decision was not made to make this place a permanent project, and only rubble concrete was used instead of reinforced concrete, and as the holes continued to expand, more and more bodies were exposed, and some people suddenly fell to the side and vomited when they thought that they had been drinking such water for several days.

Especially Zhang Jingui, he vomited bitter bile water and came out.

Master Lu shook his head: "No wonder, in fact, it has already entered everyone's body when mixed with food. ”

The hole was big enough, and I lay down at the mouth of the hole and dragged them out one by one, and at the top were the last three workers who were missing, unconscious, but still alive.

Then I saw Gao Yao, half of his face was soaked in water, I struggled to drag him out, Zhang Jingui tried his carotid artery: "It's still alive!" ”

I didn't have the strength to drag the rest of the people anymore, and seeing that I was fine, Zhang Jingui had the courage to drag them out one by one, two of the first four missing workers were still alive, and the other two were dead, but they seemed to have died soon.

The last to be dragged out were Lao Wan and Wang Dayou, their bodies had been soaked white and swollen, and the small corpse insect larvae were burrowing under the skin of their faces and necks, constantly wriggling, making people sick.

Wang Dayou's hands were clenched tightly, but there was nothing.

"What now?" Everyone's eyes were on Master Lu.

"Wake up the unconscious first, and I'll overtake them!"

Zhang Jingui led people to put Gao Yao and them flat, pinched the tiger's mouth, pinched people, and pinched them to the point of blood, but they still didn't wake up.

Master Lu stopped chanting and looked at the situation, and burned a talisman for them to take it, but there was still no improvement.

"Gotta get them to the county hospital right away!" Section Chief Wang, who came later, said.

His face turned pale, and four people died at once, and he died so strangely that he had no idea how to write this report.

"No way!" Master Lu shook his head. "I don't know where the evil thing has gone now, send them to the county, what if the evil thing goes out with them?"

"And what if they die?" Section Chief Wang's eyes were bloodshot. "Four have already died, in case these six die again, who will carry this black cauldron? Are you coming or am I coming? How do you explain to your family? Can't you send them to rescue because there are ghosts? Besides, even if you don't, you're guaranteed that it won't get out? ”

"What if more people died?" Master Lu asked.

"That's not my responsibility, it's yours!" Section Chief Wang said.

He called and transferred the cars of the township health center and the police station, plus Boss Xie's car and his own police car, and hurriedly sent the unconscious people and corpses out.

Master Lu was silent.

I felt my strength almost regain and walked over and asked, "There's no way to find it?" ”

"My Tianyantong skills are not enough, so I can only use it at night when the yin qi is at its heaviest."

"What about me?" I asked.

"I have to wait until that time to help you open the eyes of the sky, not now."

So we could only go back to the project department to rest, Master Lu asked Xiaoling to go to Hewei Village to collect black dogs and roosters, and he picked and picked among the bottles and cans brought by the car, as if he was mixing something.

After about an hour, suddenly a large number of people came down from the mountain.

"What are you doing?" I was surprised to see that they were all carrying luggage.

"The workers have to go, and they can't stop them." Zhang Jingui said. "Now we all know that there are powerful ghosts on the mountain, who would dare to stay?"

"What about you?" I asked, as he was also carrying a suitcase.

"The workers are gone, what's the use of me staying?"

I know I can't let them go, but this kind of battle, I'm afraid Boss Xie can't do anything here.

I could only ask meaninglessly, "Don't you want your wages?" ”

"How much can I get paid? Besides, how much money you make is fake, or your own life is the most important! Zhang Jingui smiled bitterly and shook his head. Sun Gong, I advise you to go too, it's not worth dying here for this kind of thing! ”
