Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Thing Is Coming
Liang Zi nodded at me, and said helplessly: "This is also something that can't be helped, each of them is loaded with guns, the danger is too high, if you don't kill quickly, we will suffer losses." And there are already two captives, so we really don't need to leave a few more alive. Besides, we didn't kill all of them. β
I wondered, "What do you mean?" β
Liang Zi pointed to a shadowy area not far away, where they probably stacked the corpses, and then said to me: "Actually, in this environment, it is impossible for us to shoot accurately, and most of them were only injured at first, but not killed. But when they saw us surrounding, some of them probably thought they couldn't escape, and immediately killed themselves by drinking bullets. It's the first time in my life that I've seen such mercenaries, seeing that the mission failed, they committed suicide in order to prevent being captured, and the key is that they were very decisive when they committed suicide, almost without the slightest hesitation, as if, as if they were sacrificing their lives, which is really incomprehensible. β
Liang Zi took Liang Houzai and me to sit down by the fire, Senior Brother Feng handed me a hot can, and then he asked Senior Brother Zhuang, "What are you going to do with those corpses?" β
Senior Brother Zhuang said while chewing beef: "I have contacted the above, and there will be follow-up troops to take over tomorrow morning, the identity of these mercenaries may be very special, and the above probably intends to investigate these people." β
While speaking, Senior Brother Zhuang handed several silver-white metal plaques to Liang Zi and said, "These nameplates were all taken down from the corpse. β
Liang Zi took advantage of the firelight to look carefully at one of the nameplates, and I sat next to him, and I could see the appearance of the nameplate very clearly.
It was just a very ordinary metal sign, smooth on one side, and simply engraved with the words "Burial-17" on the other.
Liang Zi picked up the second nameplate and looked at it, and like the previous one, it was smooth on one side, and engraved on the other side: Burial-233.
A cursory look at all the signs shows that the specifications are exactly the same, smooth on one side, and the word "burial" engraved on the other, followed by a few numbers.
I heard Senior Brother Zhuang say on the side: "I suspect that the burial word should be the name of a certain organization, and as for the number behind, it may be the code name of the members of the organization." β
Liang Zi put a nameplate in his hand, frowned, and said, "If that's the case, the scale of this organization is not small." β
I saw the nameplate in his hand inscribed: Burialβ77632.
Does this number mean that the person with this nameplate is the 77,632nd member of this organization, and if so, it is indeed a very large organization.
Liang Zi ate a large can of canned beef in three bites, and then threw the nameplates into the empty cans, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and asked Liang Houzai and me: "Do you two smoke?" β
Liang Houzai and I immediately shook our heads, and Senior Brother Zhuang also glanced at Liang Zi and said, "Don't take my junior brother badly!" β
Liang Zi smiled stupidly, and said to me: "Smoke is a good thing, it can suppress shock." Hehe, speaking of which, the first cigarette I smoked in my life was given to me by your master ten years ago. I was probably in my early twenties that year, and this special combat team had not yet been formed, and it was my second week in the reconnaissance company, and the company commander suddenly said that there was a confidential mission, and asked me to participate in it, you know what the mission is, right? Hehe, just follow your master to the grave and remove the corpse, that is the first time I have seen an evil corpse, I am not afraid of your jokes, I had no combat experience at that time, and I was timid, and I was almost scared to pee. Uncle Chai stuffed a cigarette stick in my mouth and asked me to follow him out while smoking, his smoke was really strong, I just took the first puff, I was smoked in a daze, I don't remember how I got out of the tomb. β
As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and took a hard puff, probably too hard, followed by a violent cough.
After that, I asked Liang Zi again: "Wasn't it a joint military exercise recently, why didn't you participate?" β
Liang Zi patted his chest and calmed himself, and said, "If we also participate in the military exercise, where will Uncle Chai find someone now?" Hehe, my team belongs to the special combat team in terms of organization, but we don't participate in most of the tasks, and are only responsible for two things, one is to cooperate with the local anti-drug operation, and the other is to cooperate with your Soul Village operation. However, only me and a few veterans know about the Soul Village, and the others do not participate in the mission of the Soul Village, and we will not take the initiative to tell them about the Soul Village. β
At this time, Liang Zi finally came to his senses, and listened to him continue: "To tell the truth, we can not say anything about those things in your Soul Village. Those of us who are about to be discharged from the army when we reach a certain age, who doesn't want to live a stable life for a few years after being discharged from the army? I hope that those recruits will not get involved in the affairs of the Soul Village for the rest of their lives, so that they will have a big shadow in their hearts in the future, and the whole person will become chattering. β
Hearing Liang Zi's words, Senior Brother Zhuang smiled: "Since you don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Soul Village, why do you still want to go to the tomb with my Uncle Chai?" β
Liang Zi sighed and said, "Alas, you don't know, since I followed Uncle Chai to the tomb ten years ago and saw those things. I can sometimes dream about the things at that time now, these years, you don't contact me, I can't contact you, for a while I was thinking, you and Uncle Chai may be the people in my dreams, I haven't seen you, I haven't been to the tomb, everything is my fantasy. Brother Zhuang, let me tell you the truth, if you don't come to me again, maybe I can really become a psychopath. β
Just as Liang Zi was speaking, someone stuck his head out of a tent not far away and shouted at Liang Zi: "Those two people are awake!" β
Our captives are awake!
Liang Zi didn't care much, just beckoned to the tent and said, "Hang them for a while, come, come and eat something." β
The man ran over with a smile, and Liang Zi introduced to me: "This is Xing Wei, the sharpshooter in our team, we usually call him Dawei." Ten years ago, he also followed Uncle Chai to the tomb. β
After speaking, Liang Zi pointed at me again and said to Dawei: "This is Uncle Chai's senior disciple, and there is a way on the left." Then he pointed at Liang Houzai again, paused, and asked me, "What's your buddy's name?" β
I said to Liang Zi: "Liang Houzai, he is the descendant of the lineage of corpse chasers. β
Liang Zi smiled and said to Liang Houzai: "Yo, you are also surnamed Liang, and I are still in this family, my big name is Liang Guohua, take care of me in the future." β
Just as Liang Zi was talking, Dawei also came to Liang Houzai's side and asked Liang Houzai very curiously: "You are a corpse chaser, there are really corpse chasers in Xiangxi?" My hometown is from Xiangxi. β
Liang Houzai has never been good at dealing with people, and Dawei's enthusiasm made Liang Houzai very uncomfortable, he just nodded, and didn't answer Dawei's words, just holding canned beef and eating alone.
Dawei probably didn't expect Liang Houzai to be so ignorant, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere became very embarrassing.
Senior Brother Zhuang couldn't see it anymore, so he chatted with Dawei about family life, intending to divert Dawei's attention.
Liang Zi asked me quietly, "What's the matter with your buddy?" β
I don't have anything to shy away from, so I directly told him that Liang Hou is more shy, and sometimes he will be shy when he meets people, so it's good to get along for a while.
Liang Houzai could also hear me when I spoke, and he didn't mind me saying this about him, and smiled at me.
Liang Zi patted Liang Houzai's back with a smile and said, "Hey, what a young man, what can't you let go?" β
Liang Zi is not tall, and he is thin, but he has a lot of strength, Liang Houzai was photographed by him, and the whole person swayed left and right, looking at Liang Houzai's cramped appearance, I was happy on the side.
But at the moment when Liang Houzai's body swayed, I suddenly caught a glimpse of red from the corner of my eye, and on this red, I also vaguely felt a faint yin qi.
I immediately turned my head to look, but there was still any red in front of me, and as far as my eyes could see, there was a meadow and an old banyan tree in the distance, and there was no wind at this time, but the branches of the banyan tree were shaking slightly.
Liang Zi probably sensed that something was wrong with my face, and pushed me with his elbow and asked me, "What's wrong with you?" β
As he spoke, Senior Brother Zhuang and Senior Brother Feng also put down the hot cans in their hands and looked over to me.
I didn't answer Liang Zi's words, but while staring at the old banyan tree, I asked Senior Brother Feng: "Senior Brother Feng, I remember you said during the day that there might be dirty things in this forest, right?" β
I heard Senior Brother Feng say, "It's just speculation." β
I still stared at the tree and said to Senior Brother Feng, "Senior Brother Feng, although I don't know how you guessed it, that thing has come now. β
As the branches of the banyan tree continue to swing, I can clearly feel that the yin qi behind the tree is slowly getting stronger, this yin qi is different from the yin qi emitted by Erlong Bay, the yin qi of Erlong Bay is mixed with a slight resentment, but this yin qi is a kind of pure to the extreme yin.
After a while, Liang Houzai also felt this yin qi, he put down the canned food box in his hand, and quickly came to my side.
I didn't know what was behind the banyan tree, so I didn't dare to act rashly or speak loudly, so Senior Brother Zhuang whispered to Liang Zi and asked Liang Zi to gather everyone together as soon as possible.
Liang Zi and Dawei quickly bowed out of the campfire and began to gather the others. Liang Zi probably also knew that it was not appropriate to speak in the current situation, his communication with other people was completely dependent on gestures and eyes, I couldn't understand what Liang Zi's gestures meant, but his comrades-in-arms could understand it.
From the beginning to the end, Liang Zi didn't say a word, but after just a few dozen seconds, everyone gathered in front of the bonfire.
The flames contain very strong yang energy, which can be used to ward off evil spirits, and I think it is for this reason that Senior Brother Zhuang asked Liang Zi to gather everyone here.
After that, Senior Brother Zhuang kept adding firewood to the fire to keep the flame vigorous.
Senior Brother Feng came up to me and asked me in a low voice, "Youdao, what should I do next?" β
