Chapter 37: The sunspot returns

I told the monkey my reasoning, and the monkey thought it was incredible, and we could only speculate as to why the river had to go to great lengths to design in a spiral shape.

Now that two days have passed, and the corpses should be chasing us, the monkey and I decided to speed up our progress for safety.

It took more than 10 hours to walk, and I guess we were already in the inner circle of the spiral, because walking in the river at this time felt like walking on the track of a school football field. It was at this moment that I heard a low rumbling sound from the river behind us, shaking the stone walls like a galloping horse. My heart tightened, and I thought that the human corpse was coming, so I immediately greeted the monkey and ran away.

I didn't run a few steps before I realized that there was no road ahead, so I shone forward with a flashlight as I ran, only to see that the river was cut off by a stone wall, and it seemed that this was all there was. Suddenly a trace of despair arose in my heart, and we might have no way out.

Take a closer look, find that this is a huge door carved from stone, the faΓ§ade is rough and uneven, there is no texture mural, there is no fine chiseling, you can feel a layer of fine clay when you touch it, it is obvious that it is caused by being soaked in water for many years, and you can't see that it is a door if you don't look carefully. The stone gate looks like it weighs twenty or thirty tons, and the giant gate is level with the stone walls on both sides of the river, which is thirty or forty meters high, just sealing the entire river.

"Damn, how did such a big stone gate be placed here?" The monkey sighed and looked up and down at the stone door, and I looked at it carefully, and found that the door shaft of the stone door was on the right side, and it had to be pushed hard from the left side to open.

I checked the crack of the door again, and found that the whole crack of the door was clearly visible, and there was not much mud and sand in it, which was inconsistent with the fact that the stone door had been soaked in water for many years, and it was said that the crack should be full of mud. I felt a little strange, so I immediately beckoned the monkey to come and see him, and told him my doubts.

The monkey frowned at it: "There is only one explanation for this situation, the door was opened not long ago!" ”。 I think so too, so that someone has already entered, who could this person be? Is it Lao Zhao?

At this time, I was not allowed to think too much, I tentatively pushed the stone door from the left side, the stone door did not move, I concluded that it was definitely not with brute force, as far as the weight of this door, the three bulldozers may not be able to push it.

If you can't use brute force, then there must be a mechanism. The monkey and I split up on both sides to search, looking and knocking, and nothing was missed. Twenty minutes passed, but nothing was found.

At this time, the rumbling sound in the depths of the river was getting louder and louder, and I felt that the human corpse was less than 100 meters away from us, and I was a little panicked in my heart, and I was a little at a loss if I couldn't find the mechanism, then I had to wait for death.

The monkey, like me, was sweating profusely, "What should I do?" Let's think of a way! The monkey screamed as he groped his way along the stone gate with a flashlight, and he was going to look for it again.

I had to follow and find it again, and this time we used a flashlight to shine from the bottom of the door to the top, looking at it in all directions. After another careful search, nothing was found. The monkey sat down on the ground, shouting, "It's over...... it's over."

I was so frustrated and hopeless that I looked back into the distance of the river, and through the flashlight, I could see several human corpses looming, followed by thousands of corpses, all of them with twisted and hideous faces, striding towards us.

I huddled in the corner on the side of the stone door, my hands clenched at the flashlight, staring at the corpses in front of me, I could clearly see that they were rapidly approaching us, and I was ready for a heroic sacrifice. Fifty meters...... Forty meters...... Thirty meters......

Just when the human corpse was about to pounce, a very strange scene suddenly happened, I saw a human corpse in the front suddenly stood up straight, its legs were well preserved, and it was running with two legs like a human, and what was even more strange was that he also took out a thing from his body and threw it behind him while running, and suddenly the other corpses rushed towards that thing, and he suddenly stood out from the many human corpses and ran directly towards the monkey.

Immediately I was stunned, this is like a living person! The monkey was so frightened that he kept holding his head with his hands and yelling, not noticing what was happening in front of him, while I could see it clearly.

I saw that the guy who was not a ghost or a ghost walked as fast as a scissor, and he had reached the monkey in less than three steps, he jumped over the momentum, stepped directly on the monkey's shoulder, and then jumped with strength, jumped more than two meters high in the air, and then raised his right hand, slapped it the stone door, leaned back, and took advantage of a backflip in the air, and fell to the ground steadily.

This series of movements was completed in less than a second, clean and steady. Damn, just this skill, is this a sunspot? No, could it be that Kuroko really became a human corpse? I saw that he was disheveled, his face was hideous and distorted, and he was clearly a human corpse, but his actions showed that he was a living person.

At this time, I didn't have time to think about it, but I heard a "click" sound, and the stone door opened. At this time, I realized that the place where this guy slapped the stone wall with his hand just now actually emitted a faint fluorescence, could that be where the mechanism is! Just when I was in a trance, the guy suddenly pulled his hair hard with his hand, only to see that the whole lump of hair was ripped off along with the scalp and face, revealing a bald head, damn it, it's really a fucking sunspot!

Before I could say hello to Kuroko, he pulled up the monkey that was lying on the ground and ran into the stone gate. I reacted immediately, and immediately followed and entered the stone gate.

As soon as he entered, Kuroko jumped over again, slapped the same position on the door, and the stone door was closed again.

At this time, the monkey didn't know what was going on, he was already scared, and just now he was stepped on and pulled by the sunspot, thinking that he was attacked by a corpse, and he was even more flustered.

I scanned the surroundings with a flashlight, and it was pitch black, it seemed to be an empty field, I don't know how deep it was, but I felt an eerie cold air approaching me.

I turned around and yelled at the monkey on the side: "It's me, Lao Yang, and Kuroko, it's okay, it's okay......", the monkey seemed to be crazy, didn't pay attention to me at all, and still squatted in the corner with his head in his hands and yelled. Seeing this, Kuroko immediately stepped forward and grabbed the monkey, raised his right hand and gave him a heavy slap!

This slap was painful and powerful, and I only heard a green sound, and I seemed to feel that my face was heating and aching.

The monkey was stunned for a while, but after a few seconds, he finally came to his senses, and he was surprised to see me and Kuroko standing in front of him, and he looked around again, and suddenly returned to his senses: "Black...... Kuroko, I was right! This is...... Where is it? Person...... What about human corpses? The monkey's voice was still trembling, and I was actually shocked, and replied casually: "Outside the stone gate!" ”

At this time, the monkey realized that his previous expression was a little cowardly, and his face suddenly turned red and he was ashamed: "Uh, this...... This monkey master just now was caused by excessive nervous tension, but it wasn't that I was timid and afraid, so the two of them watched the joke! ”

I'm actually no better than a monkey, and I almost didn't pee out of my stomach when the corpse came running towards us, so I don't have the confidence or heart to make fun of him at the moment.

Next, Kuroko briefly explained to us what had just happened. It turned out that Kuroko had been hiding in the pile of human corpses since he disappeared, and he made a hood on the withered human head that he had been tying around his waist and put it on his head, dressing himself up as a human corpse, and he collected a large amount of soda lime from many cave vents, and stuffed the soda lime into the interlayer of his clothes and pants, so that the water vapor emitted from his body was completely absorbed by the soda lime, so that Kuroko could survive in the human corpse pile so far without being discovered by the human corpse.

Kuroko followed the group of corpses until he walked to the stone gate, he saw a bright light in front of him and guessed that it was us, and saw a place above the stone door emitting a faint fluorescence, so he guessed that it was likely to be the same as the luminous stone mechanism at the entrance of the hole in the ground, so he immediately threw the water bottle on his body behind him to lure away the corpse, and then pressed the glowing stone to open the stone door, and we also escaped.

Kuroko's description is very brief, he just roughly said what happened in front of him, and the monkey and I only roughly understood it, and there are many important parts that Kuroko didn't mention, such as how he disappeared, what happened when he met Lao Zhao in the cave, why did he pretend to be a human corpse and mix in the pile of human corpses, etc., these questions were erased by Kuroko intentionally or unintentionally, I don't know what the purpose is.

I was about to ask Kuroko for an explanation, but Kuroko suddenly changed his words: "We can't stay here for a long time, thousands of corpses outside the stone gate will soon pile up into a mountain, and when the time comes, we will come to us over the stone gate, we must continue to move forward!" ”

Although I still have a question to ask Kuroko to understand, but I also know that Kuroko's words are not unreasonable, compared to the doubt in my heart, it is naturally a wise choice to save my life first, so I made a face to the monkey and signaled to him that we will listen to Kuroko's arrangement first, and then find a chance to ask for clarity when it is safe later.

The monkey understood what I meant, and he nodded to me: "Okay, just listen to the Kuroko brothers, let's move on." ”
