Chapter 5: Hot Springs

"How! Did you find it? The curtain was lifted, just as everyone was anxious to ask these four people who searched the mountains in the rain for a day and a night. Unexpectedly, the four people were struggling to carry a corpse into the tent......

The remaining four people, who were still studying the two corpses, came over to look at the newly discovered "research object", but were startled by the corpse.

This corpse was even more horrific than the death of the other two corpses on the stage. Its skin was red and puffy, unrecognizable, its hair detached, and the skin and bones separated from the places it touched, like boiled flesh and bone.....

The light of the tent shimmered strangely from the heavy rain outside, but it still made the corpse's death clear, but it filled in a more terrifying feeling. The scene in front of him finally made Ina, the beautiful explorer who originally thought she was strong and endured nausea to help carry back the corpse, and Diana, who had just been hit by Bell's death, ran out of the tent with a burst of uncontrollable nausea.

This scene is really bloody and disgusting! Even the rest of the people who had always seen the world, even Duan Lei, who was a forensic doctor, gasped! "Who is this? How so? Duan Lei looked at it for a while, the body was really unrecognizable!

"Judging by the clothes we just fished... This should be Mr. Fengyan Sangben..."Shao Kai also said dejectedly, his expression a little wooden. He has been on the battlefield for a long time as a war correspondent, and he has never seen anything... But he had never seen this way of death, and the scene of the discovery of the corpse just now still made him remember it vividly.

Except for Iris, a "almost cold-blooded" woman who was busy looking at the corpse, everyone was slumped on the stool, and Hua Ge sat on the ground with his head bowed at this time, unable to say a word.

"This corpse died in a strange way, how did it die?!" Iris's cold language drew resentment from everyone. Even archaeologists rarely have such a sane as cold-blooded reaction as this woman.

To say that the person who has had the most contact with Sanmoto these days is this woman... And Sammoto's death made their already small team even more precarious. But when she looked at the corpse at this time, it was like looking at a specimen, calm but emotionless..... which made people shudder!

Hua Ge looked up at her, he couldn't bear her all kinds of behaviors! Crazy roar: "Are you not humane at all!" “

She looked extremely surprised, puzzled and innocent: "It doesn't matter if I have humanity or not!" It's important to know what happened to the corpses in this tent right now....."

Three bodies lined up in a row, and the tent had almost turned into a morgue....The flickering lights filled the tent with the smell of death.

She walked up to the first female corpse: "This corpse does not decompose, her genes are not defective, as long as she is not injured by the outside world, she can almost live forever, but she died next to this cave by the lake, the cause of death of the corpse has not been found until now, except for the traces left by the autopsy, there are almost no external injuries....."

She walked over to Bell's corpse again: "Bell's body has been determined to have been killed by him, but after death, it has shown rapid aging, and has become a dried corpse at this time..."

“… And this corpse ... I looked at it just now, and the cause of death was steaming! Don't you think this series of deaths is bizarre? Don't you want to find out why here? Her words were like a slap in the face... Oh, yes! These bizarre deaths are beyond the scope of Hua Ge's cognition..... it is almost impossible to be man-made, but it is not like the forces of nature can cause it.

At this time, Ina and Diana helped each other in, and the eight people in the tent gathered together....Hua Ge sighed and briefly recounted how they found the body.......

Originally, the four of them searched the mountain to find Sangmoto and his assistant Higashida, but at the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the people who searched the mountain, they could take care of each other when they encountered danger. Hua Geyi used the search ability of the two explorers, and he and Hyde were divided into a group, while Ina and Shao Kai were in a group, looking separately, and if there was any discovery, they would contact each other through the walkie-talkie....

However, due to lightning and thunder, the signal was interrupted by bad weather. However, Ina and Hyde, who were explorers, were very powerful, and based on their experience, they found the same place in the mountains.

As soon as the four of them got together, they heard the voices of Higashida and Kumoto calling for help, and they followed the sound of the cries for help and found a steaming hot spring. And there was a corpse floating in the hot spring. The spring water is steaming at extremely high temperatures! It seems to be an active volcanic hot spring!! Anyone who stumbles and falls into it will not survive.

"....At that time, we judged by the clothes of the deceased that it should be Mr. Feng Yan Sangben. But it was too late to find Sanmoto... He's dead. I think he may have been on the road because of the rough mountain roads, and it was difficult to pay attention to the road under his feet in bad weather. He may have fallen into a hot volcanic spring by mistake....." He recounted the whole process of discovery with a heavy heart. The people around him let out bursts of regret.....

"Oh? And what about Higashida? How did you get the volcanic spring so hot? She continued to get to the bottom of it.

Shao Kai was also a little impatient, he was angry that this woman avoided the problem of taking the important and trivial, and what he saw at the time was the same as Hua Ge: "Dongtian should have been turned into a corpse by the high-temperature volcanic spring." When we went to fish, the temperature of the spring water dropped and it was ready to enter the people, so we went down and fished it together! How? Do you still suspect that the four of us lied to you? Miss! “

But Shao Kai's words made Hua Ge suddenly realize that Iris didn't ask them these questions so simply. He knew that it was something in the words, and he hurriedly asked the two explorers beside him, "Hyde!" Ina, you two are explorers! Have you ever seen an active volcanic spring before? “

Iris didn't care about the rude little reporter, but looked at Hua Ge with some rare appreciation: "It seems that you can see it too?" “

"What do you two mean?" Shao Kai was a little dizzy by the inexplicable ambiguous atmosphere at this time.

And Hyde at this time said what these two people reflected: "Yes! I discussed this with Ina when I came back just now. As explorers, Ina and I would survey the topography of each place in advance and be well prepared..."

"Yes, when we came here, according to our investigation, this generation is not a volcanic zone, let alone an active volcano!" Ina hurried back to them.

"So this spring shouldn't be a volcanic spring! However, when we reached the spring, the whole spring was filled with heat, and the temperature of the spring water was more than 100 degrees Celsius, and the water surface was bubbling with boiling water... But it didn't take long for it to cool down...."What she said was completely contrary to the laws of nature as they understood it.

"However, the temperature of the hot springs varies due to changes in the movement of active volcanoes underground and the flow of magma. However, an active volcano does not heat up until the eruption, but this hot spring does not heat up instantly, but cools down within a few minutes! This is very unusual! ”

After the explanation of the two people, everyone also realized the doubts!

"I'm a little curious how you found the problem? You didn't come with us just now! Shao Kai finally understood why they had so many questions about the cause of death of this corpse, and the last thing he could understand at this time was how Iris found out.

"Because you said that this corpse was boiled in the heat of an active volcanic hot spring, as an archaeologist I have come into contact with similar corpses, the corpse soaked in the hot volcanic spring water should have a great smell of sulfur, and even eroded into the bone marrow, although it was stormy outside, but at least a little sulfur remained on the corpse..."She said as she sniffed the corpse.....

This action made everyone else frown, feeling a little "irritated", but she remained calm..... "This corpse doesn't smell a bit of sulfur..... I guess it's not a volcanic hot spring." It's not even a hot spring, its temperature comes from unnatural forces. “

At this time, Hua Ge's eyes were staring at Iris who was constantly spinning around Sangben's corpse, and he suddenly had a different mood towards this woman, and he had a kind of disgust and disgust for her before. And he always felt that a woman was not a simple hypocritical woman, she seemed to be hiding something.

..... in the mountains, what he saw was indeed a hot spring that cooled quickly, strange corpses, Bell's death, the scalding of Sanmoto, and the series of bizarre deaths and paranormal phenomena that made the expedition a mystery......
