Chapter 8 Fishpond on the cliff

The entrance of the cave is basically windy all year round, and the wind is usually strong and you can't see it, but occasionally when the wind stops, the little soldier with particularly good eyesight sees a fly entering the cave wall about ten meters away from the cave entrance, but does not fly out. There is actually a fold on the wall of the cave, like a rain cover on the zipper of a backpack, covering the opening of the cave wall, and the light is already limited under ten meters, and because of the viewing angle, it is still flat from the top of the hole.

It seems that there is a hole in the mountain wall, there should be something hidden that can attract flies, taking advantage of the fact that the wind is not strong, Lao Xue asked for firepower reconnaissance, so the troops concentrated their firepower on the cliff and fired, and for a time the gunfire was loud, and the rubble flew wildly.

Soon there were cracks in the rock wall, and suddenly red blood slowly seeped out, as if the mountain suddenly had life, and it was injured and bleeding! Although everyone was surprised at the time, they didn't think much about it, because some small beasts had been killed during the search of the mountain, and it was not known that there were animals that were good at climbing behind the cliff, so they increased their fire and hit the bleeding part of the shot.

The cliff was obviously hollow, and it couldn't withstand such a fierce bombardment, and soon a big hole was broken in the mountain wall, about a meter high, and then a stream of blood shot out, carrying pieces of flesh and bones! The stench instantly filled the entire cave entrance, and the gas that came to everyone's face was so smoked that everyone burst into tears, and they couldn't open their eyes, Lao Xue shouted: "Everyone be careful of poison!" ”

The troops were forced to retreat urgently and quickly!

Lao Xue was also retreating, just in a panic, under the illumination of the noon sun, Lao Xue suddenly saw that the breach was like a mouth on a mountain cliff, and it actually blew out a transparent bubble! If it weren't for the fact that the sun happened to shine a flare, it would have been difficult to detect the existence of this bubble, and the bubble was quickly blown up, and when it was nearly two meters in diameter, it suddenly broke out of the breach, fell into the deep pit, and suddenly disappeared.

Lao Xue was dumbfounded, and when he raised his gun to shoot, the bubbles were gone, and a soldier pulled him: "Hurry back, the smell is really poisonous!" ”

Everyone retreated a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, waiting for the strong irritating gas to dissipate, and a few soldiers inhaled a lot and were vomiting there. Lao Xue slowly climbed over and looked down with the direction of the wind.

The water in the breach slowed down, and the red juice flowed down the wall of the cave, leaving a long smudge, where fragments of cloth were stuck to the stone, too far away and at the wrong angle to see further.

At this time, the soldiers had already put on gas masks, and they gathered around one after another, looking at the blood-colored juice flowing out, looking at each other in horror and inexplicable.

This was followed by a tentative shooting, but there was no reaction from the hole. The liquid flowed for half an hour and then slowly stopped, and the troops were unable to take any further action, so they stood still.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the stench emitted by those liquids was no longer so strong, and Lao Xue decided to hang it down to explore the situation.

The commander of the unit is very low-level, and he has been ordered to completely obey his command, and the soldiers also want to end this disgusting and frightening task as soon as possible, so it was finally decided to be led by Lao Xue, hanging down in groups of three, with Lao Xue responsible for approaching and observing, the other two covering, and the people above mobile fire support.

Lao Xue's request made the people present shocked: "One of the two of you is guarding the breach, the other is guarding behind us, and the people above are mainly guarding the bottom of the cave!" ”

Lao Xue asked a soldier to cut the military raincoat, wrapped his hands all the way to his elbows, and made a temporary rubber glove, although it was not so convenient to climb down, but the hole was full of juice, and the consequences were unpredictable, even if it was non-toxic, it was enough to be disgusting for a lifetime.

In the afternoon, the wind was stronger, and it was already not conducive to the stability of control, and the three of them all wore gas masks and tied ropes around their waists, and Lao Xue slowly put them down with the assistance of the two fighters.

Soon arrived at the breach, the two soldiers were on guard one after the other, and Lao Xue leaned over. Old Xue's stomach twitched when the makeshift gloves touched the juices, and he saw a dark red rotten muscle hanging from the stone.

Although the gas mask blocked part of the stench, when the smell came to his face, Lao Xue felt as if a stream of ammonia was poured directly from his throat to his stomach. The hole was dark and unknown, Lao Xue didn't dare to get too close, and when his eyes slowly adapted to the darkness inside, the scene in front of him bombarded him to the point of almost fainting.

It was originally like a small fish pond, about 20 square meters, deep into the mountain, and it was impossible to tell whether it was man-made or natural. There is a narrow entrance and exit from the top of the cave wall, less than a foot high, which is hidden by the rock wall above, and is very hidden. The pond was about two meters high, and the previous breach was in the middle and upper part of it, so half of the liquid in the pond was gone, and it was about one meter high. Immediately next to the rock wall inside, there were more than a dozen human corpses, all heavily decomposed, they were the fish in the fish pond.

The liquid in the pond was dark red, greasy and cloudy, partly the tissue fluids and grease of the corpses, but there must have been other substances mixed in, because a dozen corpses could not produce that much liquid. Some broken textiles are also mixed and float inside.

Lao Xue's sweat was already wet on his back, the wind blew cold and penetrated his heart, he felt that the blood was being pumped from his brain, he couldn't even remember the three words "why" to ask, he decided that he had to go up to the ground before he fainted, he didn't want to plunge on these juices.

At this moment, Lao Xue saw that one of the corpses seemed to move, and it was difficult to distinguish any features of the corpse due to severe decay, its head leaned forward slightly, Lao Xue only noticed that half of the white bones on its forehead had been exposed, and at first thought that it was just going to fall down because of the flow of liquid, but it was not!

It actually slowly swam towards the breach, and Lao Xue even saw the greasy black longevity hat on its head!

Lao Xue's scalp exploded, his eyes were about to bleed, and he finally shouted out in great fear: "Go up!" Go up right now! ”

Hearing this, the two fighters quickly leaned over, grabbed Lao Xue one by one, and helped him climb up!

Lao Xue's eyes never dared to leave the corpse, just when the corpse was about to approach the breach, Lao Xue saw clearly, the corpse had rotted so much that there was no lip on the teeth actually blowing a bubble, and then it spit out the bubble, the bubble quickly expanded after encountering the light, and then quickly fell into the deep hole!

The deep hole is dark and bottomless, and the bubbles are gone in a flash!

Lao Xue was already frightened when he was pulled up, and the juice in his hands in the panic touched the two soldiers who covered him and then took him up, so the three soldiers all had a certain degree of poisoning reaction, and their skin was black and blistered, but it was not serious, and there were no sequelae after follow-up treatment.

After Lao Xue came up, he did not inform the troops of what he saw, and the junior officers had no right to intervene. Immediately after descending the mountain, he reported to his superiors through the army radio, and the superiors immediately agreed to carry out blasting and landfilling according to his suggestion.

When Lou Lanfeng heard this, she approached Xia Xi and sat next to her, Xia Xi frowned: "What's the matter with you?" ”

Lou Lanfeng said: "Shouldn't I be afraid if you scare me so much?" ”

Xia Xi snorted and sneered twice: "I informed you of the situation, but you listened to the story, shouldn't you ask why there is such a pond?" ”

"Why?"

Xia Xi replied that he didn't know, and there was no answer yet.

Lou Lanfeng asked Xia Xi again: "If that big pit is really that deep, how many explosives do you need to blow it up?" I see that a tactical nuclear bomb is certainly not something that can be done by a few tons of explosives, and what can that little cement do? Filling the sinkhole? ”

Xia Xi said: "You misunderstood, back then, you didn't have the ability and financial resources to solve this kind of problem, so you could only deal with the problem superficially." The liquid was so poisonous that it couldn't be handled manually, so it was simply blown up and the blown up nest was filled, which was the way it could have been done decades ago. ”

Lou Lanfeng sighed, took a breath and said: "That means that the bubbles of the year are back again, and I don't know where to make a fish pond and play happily." ”

Xia Xi said: "I'm not sure if it's the previous batch of things, if it's this time, they will be drowned in the fish pond!" ”

Lou Lanfeng looked at Xia Xi: "It's impossible for the two of us to just talk like this all night, and it's impossible to sleep a day tomorrow, shouldn't we take turns to rest?" ”

Xia Xi said, "Okay, you sleep for two hours first, and then take shifts." ”

Lou Lanfeng then asked, "Then can I sleep on your lap?" I was scared enough by you just now, I lack love. ”

Xia Xi looked at Lou Lanfeng and said for a long time: "Okay, I'll treat you as my son." ”

Lou Lanfeng held the gun, pillowed Xia Xi's legs, looked at the vast sky, and seemed preoccupied, and neither of them spoke.

The mountain fog gradually dissipated and flowed to the lower ground, and the moon gradually brightened, enveloping the entire mountain field.

Lou Lanfeng looked at the moon, and the drowsiness slowly invaded, and the moon suddenly twisted in his eyes in a hazy way, as if giving him a weird smile.
