Chapter 348: Headless Corpse
The wind was so cold, and it had a foul stench.
Gao Chao and the fat man were so shocked that they couldn't help but take two steps back and hide their faces with their hands.
Xia Qing frowned and said, "Don't worry, it's the smell of formalin." ”
Formalin, Gao Chao and Fat Man had certainly heard that this kind of thing was used for embalming, and it seemed that it was specifically used to embalm corpses.
The room was really big and they walked in it and felt like they were going to get lost.
There are dissecting tables all around, and there are stacked pools of corpses.
In the dimness, in the transparent pool, there are turbid formalins, and in the midst of formalins, what is there?
The three of them just wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible, and no one seemed to want to figure it out.
It's just that the more things you avoid, the more it will happen inadvertently.
The fat man had been on his guard, he held Bobosha in his hand, his fingers on the trigger all the time, and he looked in both directions as he walked, his gaze falling on the dimly lit corners and the pools of corpses that he couldn't see clearly.
In the empty laboratory, there was a dead silence, except for the footsteps of the three of them, as if everything was sleeping.
The fat man was staring at a pool of corpses, and he seemed to see in the light that there seemed to be a hand in the cloudy formalin......
A "clang" sounded suddenly from a corner of the room.
It was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the three of them had dragged the still dead laboratory into a nightmare without any preparation.
The fat man's hand shook and his gun fired.
"Da-ta-da". A burst of strafing. Shot from the muzzle of the fat man.
He didn't even know that he meant it. Still unintentionally, he had already smashed the pool of corpses that he had been staring at all along.
In an instant, with a "bang", formalin poured out of the broken pool of corpses.
In the darkness, all three of them had to step aside at once, afraid that the formalins, which had been sitting here for decades, would splash on their bodies.
The indescribable stench was even stronger, but none of the three of them covered their mouths and noses. It's just that all three of them are stunned.
On the ground that had been washed by formalin, a corpse lay flat.
The corpse had undoubtedly been washed out by formalin, and it was a miserable white color, a little false white, like pure white marble, and even a little transparent.
Just when the three of them were stunned, the corpse actually moved.
The lights were dim, but they weren't far enough to see the corpse clearly.
The corpse moved, as if trembling slightly.
The fat man raised his gun violently. He was about to pull the trigger on the corpse, but his gun hadn't gone off yet. was held down by Xia Qing on the side.
"Don't shoot, it's normal!" Xia Qing shouted loudly.
The fat man said angrily: "What is normal? A dead person who has been soaked for so many years can still move? Is this normal? ”
The fat man shook off Xia Qing, and he couldn't help but pull the trigger without breaking up.
Gao Chao on the side had the intention to stop it, but he was injured and couldn't stop it in time.
I only listened to the "click" in the room, and another series of point shots, all hitting the miserable white corpse.
Suddenly, there was a mist splashing on the corpse, and the corpse was also beaten and trembled violently, and when the fat man saw this, he thought that the corpse was struggling by himself, so he wanted to continue to shoot and smash it.
Gao Chao felt that something was wrong and shouted: "Fatty, ceasefire!" ”
At the same time, Gao Chao had already pressed the fat man's arm, and the gunfire was mute.
Looking at the corpse on the ground over there, it was surrounded by a cloud of mist, and in the dim light, there were no more bullet holes on the corpse, and green smoke was emitting from each bullet hole, which was a small amount of water vapor produced after the heat of the bullet met formalin.
But despite the bullet holes in the body, the body was still moving, as if it was trembling.
The fat man couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Old Gao, look at it, that ...... The thing is still moving, it's ...... It's not dead yet! ”
Gao Chao still pulled the fat man and said angrily: "You wait first, listen to Xia Qing." ”
Xia Qing was undoubtedly angry, she didn't want to pay attention to the fat man anymore, so it was good for him to continue shooting, but now when she heard Gao Chao say this, she could only frown and said: "I said, this is a normal phenomenon, the corpse has been soaked in formalin for a long time, the muscles and skin will be dehydrated, and become like rubber, and if it suddenly comes into contact with the air, it will produce an oxidation reaction, and the corpse will be a little swollen and deformed, so it will tremble and move on its own, there is nothing to make a fuss about." ”
After speaking, Xia Qing no longer paid attention to the fat man, and she didn't even pay attention to Gao Chao, she had already walked towards the corpse.
The expression on the fat man's face can only be described as embarrassed, he looked at Xia Qing's back, and then looked at Gao Chao beside him, grinning and wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say, he only smiled, but this smile was more ugly than crying.
The three of them came to the corpse, and this corpse was simply strange.
"Why don't you have a head?" The fat man stood aside and stared.
The corpse, indeed, had no head, and its head had been cut off from its neck.
It's a headless corpse.
In addition to the lack of a head, there are other strange things about this corpse, such as the corpse is too long, even if there is no head, the height of this corpse must be more than two meters.
There is also the fact that this corpse is very burly, although every muscle on its body, as Xia Qing said, has contracted a little, but it can be seen that when this corpse is alive, it must be very strong, definitely a big guy.
The most unbelievable thing is the hands and feet of this corpse.
"How can there be such hands and feet? It's not human at all. The fat man was surprised again.
This time, Gao Chao also hugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "It really doesn't look like a human, it looks like a ...... Some kind of beast. ”
"Wolf paws?" The fat man screamed on the side.
Xia Qing squatted beside the corpse and glanced at the two of them, and said: "From the structural point of view, this corpse should be human, although its hands and feet are a little special, but that may just be because it has been soaked in formalin for too long, so its muscles are dehydrated, the phalanges on its hands and feet are too prominent, and it looks a little like an animal's claws." ”
The fat man and Gao Chao glanced at each other, and the fat man glanced at his mouth and stopped talking.
Xia Qing stood up and thought about it, and said: "This corpse was cut off and put in the corpse pool, which is obviously a bit unreasonable, this corpse is undoubtedly human from the size and bones, although it is a human being, but it is different from modern humans, but it is very similar to human bones in ancient times." ”
She sighed again and said, "It would be nice if we could find its skull, because the easiest way to tell the ancient humans is to look at the skulls, and the skulls of ancient humans are very distinctive. ”
Xia Qing was a little lost, she seemed to have forgotten the possible dangers around them.
Gao Chao had no choice but to remind her, "Xia Qing, whether this corpse is human or not, we'd better get out of here first, we don't have much time, and that entrance should be in front." ”
Xia Qing only nodded, and the three of them continued to walk forward.
