Section 78 Living Corpses

Back in Building No. 5, before the meal was ready, Zhang Peng went upstairs to take a shower and change into clean clothes. Although he didn't get close to it just now, he was more or less stained with filth.

After taking a bath and going downstairs, the small pavilion has been set up, the meal is on the table, and the three mothers and daughters are sitting still, waiting for him to come down. From the side, the three mothers and daughters look very similar in a daze, but Ma Jinglei is more resentful, Xiao Yunuo is more cold, and Xiao Tianqing is more quiet.

As soon as Zhang Peng came, the atmosphere immediately became lively, as if a small stone had been thrown into the calm lake, and the ripples were light and the water rippled.

"Hurry up, hurry up, starve me." "Leave the swim bladder to Xiaopeng, you are not allowed to eat it." "Wow......" "Xiaofei likes to eat, just give it to her." "No way!"

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Peng, who had finished dinner, did not accompany the two sisters to Xinghuo Lake for a walk as usual, and went out of the compound directly, asking Huang Mao, who had been waiting outside, to take him back to Hongwei Primary School. Before leaving, Xiao Yunuo told him, "Come back at night and spend the night, otherwise I will go and demolish there." ”

That tone is like a wife threatening her husband not to steal outside, otherwise he will have to "click".

"Good, good." Zhang Peng repeatedly assured that he escaped.

When they returned to the Triumph Tower, Zhou Fuyuan, Director Dai, Tie Xincian and others had just finished dinner, and soon after they came back, they were sitting downstairs drinking kung fu tea.

In order to explore later, Zhang Peng bought a box of disposable raincoats and rubber water boots on the road, as well as more than 20 flashlights, and borrowed Zhang Da bamboo ladder from the school. Before, the corridor was too narrow to move the ladder down, but now Xiao Tianqing has opened a passage and can move it down directly.

When the people are gathered, they start moving. After a while, everyone came down to the second basement floor. More than a dozen flashlights illuminate the surroundings. There was a thick smell of burnt paste in the air, and the ground was littered with charred corpses, densely packed and spread in several layers.

The crowd wore water boots and stepped on the corpses. The crawling corpses under their feet are only scorched on the surface, and when you step on them, the liquid inside will be squeezed out, yellow, yellow, green, and green, which is quite disgusting. After rounding the pile of seven or eight dried corpses, the group came to the entrance of a staircase. Facing down, there is a large stone spiral staircase, which is quite spacious and can accommodate four or five people walking side by side. According to Li Chunsheng and Lao Huangpi, if you go down from here, you can reach the mysterious "Third Order Underground". In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a karst cave in the mountain, and after artificial transformation, it has become a secret base.

The four warrior monks walked in front and behind, followed by Yuanguang and Ironheart, after all, they were professionals. Then Li Chunsheng, Huang Mao, then Zhang Peng, Zhou Fuyuan, Director Dai, Xue Bai, and Lao Huangpi.

"Click......"

Several beams of light swayed up and down, and footsteps were chaotic and fine. No one spoke, all listened quietly. After walking for about ten minutes, several dark shadows suddenly appeared below.

"Slimy ......"

"Be careful, there's a living corpse!" The iron rod of the warrior monk led by him suddenly fell to the ground, and the head of the stick bloomed with golden light, and then from the bottom to the top, he picked up the crawling corpse with a stick.

"Bumper ......"

Several warrior monks shot one after another and killed the crawling corpse. Then the crowd continued to walk down. Along the way, there were several more attacks, but they were only a few sporadic ones, and it is estimated that they were some fish that slipped through the net.

In this regard, everyone is not worried, there is a high-ranking monk with an iron heart cicada, and the passage is so narrow, even if there is danger, it can be blocked in time. If nothing else, it's always okay to block the intersection.

After walking for a long time, the staircase finally came to an end, and when I got out of the stairwell, there was a huge underground square in front of me.

In the beam of the flashlight, several old-fashioned forklifts were parked at the edge of the square, the type that looked like an iron bracket with the chain exposed. In addition, there are a large number of cylinders piled up, as well as some messy materials.

There are thin grooves carved into the ground, some straight and some curved, about the same width and depth as a bicycle pressing through the dirt, and it is not clear what it is for. Maybe it's drainage, but it's underground, and the top is rocky, so it can't be rained. However, those who noticed it didn't think much about it, and only regarded it as anti-slip or decorative.

"Amitabha, good, good." The iron-hearted cicada chanted the Buddha's name and walked towards the center of the square.

Looking around, there are arched passages in all four directions, and the inside is pitch black, and I don't know where it leads. Li Chunsheng said that when they first came down before, they didn't see these passages, and they didn't know what mechanism they had touched, and the door of the passage opened, and a large number of crawling corpses poured out.

"Let's take a look at the one on the left." Just when everyone was thinking about it, Zhang Peng made a suggestion. In fact, you can search whichever side first, but everyone is smart and will not give opinions casually, so as not to bear unnecessary responsibility. Zhang Peng is different, he is the initiator of this incident, and it is most appropriate for him to propose it.

His proposal was unanimously approved, and the group headed for the passage to the left with their backs to the staircase.

The passage is very wide, about ten meters long, and there is no problem for vehicles to pass.

"Slimy...... Slimy ...... Slimy ......"

As soon as they entered the passage, several dark shadows crawled towards them, but they were rather sluggish. The flashlight shone past, and they were all crawling corpses with incomplete limbs, struggling to move on the ground, no wonder they didn't climb up, it turned out to be lame.

The four warrior monks divided five by two, and all of them were solved.

A little further inward, you can see iron fences on both sides. It was divided into large rooms of about 100 square meters, with some shelves and beds, which seemed to be prison cells.

The crowd continued to walk forward, and in a short time they came to the end. The passage is four or five hundred meters long, flanked by cells, and can hold at least 10,000 people. Back in the hall, everyone explored the passage in the middle, and went deeper than a hundred meters, which was still a cell, so they retreated first and explored the passage on the right.

"With so many people imprisoned, how can you solve the problem of eating, drinking, and Lazar?" Zhou Fuyuan couldn't help asking.

"We found several large elevators where the forklifts were parked, which were supposed to be used to transport food. And it's well ventilated, there's still air now, there should be ventilation outlets and drains. Li Chunsheng speculated.

"The Triumph Tower was originally built on the mountain, which is the middle of the mountain, and the terrain is high, so it should still be on the surface." Zhang Peng said.

Because the exploration of the first two passages was simple and clear, and there was no danger, everyone's mood was a lot more relaxed.

In the third passage, there are all open rooms, with dormitory area, dining area, rest area, and further back, office area. The open room was lined with old tables and chairs, and yellowed papers and small objects were scattered on the floor.

Zhang Peng looked at it casually, there were broken brushes, broken ink bottles, rusty tin cups, hot water bottles woven with rattan on the outside, etc., a scene of emergency evacuation.

At the end of the passage, there is an arched iron gate. The crowd stopped and looked around. Everyone vaguely felt that the biggest secret in the underground space was hidden in it.

"Look at this ......" The bold and careful Li Chunsheng soon noticed something unusual, and said to everyone while wiping the aluminum plate on the door with his hands.

The beams of a few flashlights shone through, and I saw a line of small letters engraved on the sign. Since the aluminium does not rust and only slightly blackens, it is clear even when it is old.

[Hirano Foundation, Eastern Branch, Sakura Group]

"Amitabha, good, good." Tie Xin Cicada pointed to the aluminum plate and said, "This consortium has been involved in the Dongying cultivation realm for more than 200 years, and it is regarded as a heart disease by the orthodoxy of Dongying Buddhism, but it cannot be eradicated. ”

"So, they made all these living corpses?" Zhang Peng asked.

"Hmm." Tie Xin Cicada nodded and said, "They call themselves ghost warriors and black onmyoji, which is equivalent to the evil cultivators in our country, and they do some taboo things that are not visible. In the next investigation, you should be more careful, lest they still have a backhand. ”

"Master, I look at the ground in that square, there are some grooves, similar to the six-pointed star arrays in the western countries, I don't know if there is a connection?" Yuanguang said.

"Such living dead must be the work of that black magic. Our Huaguo controls the evil way of corpses, only in Maoshan and Xiangxi, and uses the sacrifice of human corpses as a magic weapon. Such a large-scale corpse activation is extremely damaging, violating the Six Daos, and is despised by the entire Eastern Cultivation Circle. ”

Zhang Peng automatically and consciously translated the words of the two Buddhist masters into a simple and easy-to-understand game language, "The group of necromantic magic resurrects the dead. ”

"Can you open the door at all?" Huang Mao craned his neck and leaned over to ask.

"My Buddha is merciful, sacrificing his life to help the world, subduing demons and subduing demons, it is the responsibility of my generation, open!" The iron-hearted cicada shook his eyebrows and said loudly.

Then, Li Chunsheng and the others used a crowbar to pry open a gap, and then worked together with the warrior monks to slowly lift the heavy iron door.

"Crunch...... Syllable...... Gur-la-la-......"

The cacophony of grinding echoed through the silent passages, rust fell, and the iron door moved upwards little by little.

A gust of yin wind blew from inside, with a rotten smell, making people frown slightly. However, if there is wind, it means that there is oxygen, so there is no need to worry about suffocation.

As soon as they turned it on, Zhang Peng and Zhou Fuyuan lay on the ground and shone inward with a flashlight.

Stone platforms, round benches, glass objects, iron boxes, pipelines. As the iron gate rises, the situation inside becomes clearer and clearer, and it should be a place of study.

"Crunch...... Syllable...... Gura ...... Gurrah......"

The door was raised to a height of about one meter, as if it was stuck by something, and everyone blushed, but they still didn't move.

"Move something to hold on." Li Chunsheng shouted. Lao Huangpi and Xue Bai immediately ran into the office area at the back, brought two desks, and stuffed them under the door.

After resisting the iron gate, the four warrior monks bent down and moved in.

"Nothing."

A moment later, the voice of a warrior monk was heard inside. The crowd bent over and rushed in.

Looking around, it is a space of thousands of square meters, and there are many stone test benches near the door, on which are placed all kinds of glassware, as well as some old instruments, microscopes, heating furnaces, etc.

In the middle are several huge glass containers, in the shape of bottle galls. The base made of iron sheet is covered with pipes. If you look closely, they are all copper pipes, and the rubber wrapped around the outside has rotted and peeled off, revealing the copper color on the inside.

When I looked up, there seemed to be a vague figure in the glass bottle filled with light green liquid.
