Shirley Yang has always attached great importance to team spirit, and always believes that in a group of three, all members should be honest, and when he saw me muttering to the fat man in a low voice, he asked me, "What were you two talking about just now?" ”

I was most afraid of being questioned by Shirley Yang, so I had to do it again, took out the Chicago typewriter from my backpack, handed it to Shirley Yang and said: "The road ahead is dangerous, I will give you this submachine gun first, if you encounter any accidents, don't hesitate, just hold the board and shoot." ”

Shirley didn't answer, took out the 64 style and said to me: "It's enough to have this pistol for self-defense, I vote for the Democratic Party, so I don't believe in guns very much, I think weapons sometimes can't solve all problems, Miai is still in the hands of you and the fat man, so it can play a bigger role." ”

The fat man couldn't wait, and urged me and Shirley Yang to hurry up, so we hurriedly took out the gas masks, including some things used to deal with zombies, as well as the gold masks and other sacrificial utensils found in the jade coffin, all of which were put into the carrying bag, and the fat man carried the rest of the equipment, according to the terrain on the fossil altar, to find the direction of the exit of the gourd cave, due to the terrain, this time there was no longer armed swimming, there were many fossils of fallen ancient trees, some of them were connected, although there were occasional gaps in the middle, But they can all jump over, so they don't have to worry about being secretly attacked by the underwater female corpse.

With the compass as a guide, go straight to the west out of more than 100 meters, the red stone walls around it suddenly closed, if we are in the cave, it is really a large gourd shape that is upside down, those who have now come to the position of the middle interface of the gourd, all of this is exactly the same as the fossil altar of those ancient Yi people's grinding records.

The rhizomes of the coarse plants that come down from above are becoming scarce, and the air is no longer as hot and humid as it used to be. Searching along the upturned red rock wall, there are two large red caves formed naturally, and the interface of the middle part is already in front of you, but the stone walls here are all red clandestine rocks, which are remnants of the Cambrian period, and they are as slippery as mirrors. In the last ten meters of distance, there are no fossils of any ancient trees that can be settled. We had to wade through the water, using our pickaxes to dig hard into the slippery rock wall, and the three of us pulled each other up to the junction in the middle of the gourd hole.

The level of groundwater, just cut to the very bottom of this narrow hole. It seems that this gourd cave is inclined downward at an angle of 25 degrees, and after the underground water flows through, it produces a horizontal drop and flows down the stone wall over there, forming a waterfall with a small water flow. I grabbed the entrance of the cave, looked down with a wolf's eye flashlight, the slope is very steep, and it is arc-shaped, the depth below is much deeper than I expected, I can't see the bottom at all, if you want to go down, it is not so easy, the safest way is to fix the hole with a rock wedge, and then put down the rope, and use the safety bolt to go down, with this preset rope in advance, you can also save some trouble when you return.

I asked the fat man to install a rock wedge and a climbing rope, and the fat man asked, "Old Hu, is there really a thousand-year-old zombie poison in this cave?" Do black donkey hooves work? We've never tried it before, so what if it doesn't work? ”

I said to the fat man, "How many people have never encountered zombies in the ancient tomb?" Maybe even if we are one of the few, there are three people who have never encountered zombies, as for whether the black donkey's hooves can restrain zombies, we are all hearsay, but since it is a means passed down by generations of predecessors, it must also be compared to the * spectrum, it's really not good, don't we still have the old beauty miai, so don't worry. ”

I really have never seen zombies with my own eyes, but I have heard a lot, I remember my grandfather talked about how he was taken out by zombies when he was young, and he didn't become a walking dead because he met his master, and Li Chunlai, a fellow villager in Shaanxi, said that the drought in their village, those should be zombies, it can be seen that this kind of thing is real, I think when I and the fat man fought for the first time in the savage ditch, when dealing with the corpse, the black donkey's hooves and glutinous rice and other things, it didn't seem to have any effect, although the corpse and the zombie are not the same thing, But after all, they are all ancient corpses, so I always have reservations about the legend that the black donkey's hooves can control zombies.

With the interval between fixing the rock wedge and installing the climbing rope, I asked Shirley Yang if her ancestors had many inverted bucket masters, and they must have encountered zombies in many tombs. If it works, what principle does it use to restrain zombies?

Shirley Yang said to me: "I can make a bet with you, the mountain god in the cave will not be a zombie, the reason I have just said, even if it is a Yi people, they will not worship the corpse as a god of mountains and rivers, this custom is not a minority in China, and there is no other country, as for the black donkey's hooves can subdue zombies, this is true, the principle, there are many sayings that have been handed down, there is a strong mystery, I think it should be some kind of insulating substance in the hooves of the black donkey, and the bioelectricity in the zombie's body rushes." , stuffing the black donkey's hooves into the zombie's mouth, it's like adding a shield to the zombie's mouth, maybe you can have some other items instead, but that's just my personal opinion. According to ancient legends, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and the hooves of the black donkey sometimes inspire it to accelerate the change, which is not known if it is true or not. ”

After I listened, I felt a little relieved, now this cave entrance is the place where the Yi people used a long pole to hang the big toad into, but here it seems, it is quiet and dark, like a static dark world, it seems that there is no sign of life at all, it is completely different from the area we just passed, there are a large number of plants, insects and fish in the previous cave, frogs chirp and worms blow, flying insects vibrate their wings, seep down the water dripping into the river, everywhere is full of natural sounds, The gourd holes at both ends are only separated by five or six meters long interfaces, but they are judged to be like the two poles of life and death in the two worlds of yin and yang.

This is the fat man has prepared the climbing rope, and with a pull, it is strong enough to start moving, I first threw a cold firework downward, and when I saw the height clearly, I put on a gas mask, put on a miai on my back, and slipped down the smooth red stone wall along the climbing rope that I had put down.

This concave rock wall under the entrance of the cave, after the repeated erosion of the groundwater, slippery abnormal, can not stand at all, can only control the retraction of the climbing rope, delay the speed of falling, fall for more than ten meters to the end, under the feet, is a large wet superimposed rock, both sides are groundwater.

I looked up, and in the darkness I could only see the tactical spotlights of the helmets of the fat man and Shirley Yang, and I couldn't see anything else, so I signaled to them that it was safe down there and that they could come down.

Shirley Yang and the fat man received the signal and first slid down with the climbing rope, and the fat man came to me and asked, "Have you seen any zombies?" ”

I said to the fat man, "Why are you still looking forward to meeting zongzi?" Don't say this kind of taboo in the future, what if the old zombie can't help but talk and suddenly runs out. ”

Shirley Yang made a silent gesture to me and the fat man, and then loaded the bullets of the 64 pistol, looked at the surrounding environment, and whispered: "Now it seems that everything is normal, let's not delay, go straight to the mouth of the gourd, the atmosphere here is not quite right, although the mountain gods may not be real, the floating corpses under the water are true, I don't know how they attack humans, when we walk, we must be careful of the movement in the water." ”

At the moment, the three of us each armed with our weapons, leaving the middle of the water, groping our way through the darkness from the edge of the circular cave, this last section of the gourd cave is deep underground, the water in the center of the cave is extremely deep, and there is a dead silence, there are countless upside-down red stalagmites on the top, on both sides are stacked rock formations protruding from the water, for people to walk, these red stones, have been seeped into a translucent color, the light of the tactical spotlight shines on it, and the light is faintly reflected.

I could occasionally see some tiny plankton on the surface of the water, and I couldn't help but be a little glad that we had made the right choice, and after thousands of years, I am afraid that the things that used to be used as nests here are long gone.

Coming down from the hole above, walking less than a few dozen meters, I suddenly found a cold and dim white light on the water in front of me, I quickly waved my hand, and the three of them immediately hid behind the rocks and lurked, turned off all light sources on their bodies, and stared at the ghostly fire in the darkness.

The flickering light in the water, from far to near, I couldn't see very clearly through the gas mask, it seemed to be a "dead drift", and finally appeared, I said to the fat man next to me in the smallest voice: "I see that the female corpse in the water doesn't seem to have noticed us, you aim first, give her a shot, and then let's take advantage of the chaos to rush over and dismantle her." ”

The fat man has never shirked the matter of shooting, put down the Chicago typewriter in his hand first, took off the rifle behind his back, and aimed at three points in a kneeling position to form a line, when he wanted to shoot, he saw several floating corpses in the water, some had already surfaced, some were still under the water, all of them were facing up, although they were floating in the water, but the arms and legs were bent downward, and they seemed to be not affected by the buoyancy on the water surface.

There are more and more female corpses floating in the water, even behind us, before and after a few minutes, I don't know where so many dead floats came out, the water is full of dead people, I can't count hundreds of thousands, the group of corpses emitted a large number of ghostly white light, the originally dark cave was lit up by those ghost fires, but this bright light made people feel like falling into a cold ice hell, and they couldn't stop trembling all over.
