In a swarthy cavern, there is a bloody corpse of a blood bat in front of it, and a ragged man sits in the corner in front right. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It makes me think about it. Who is this? Was he a survivor of the archaeological team seventeen years ago? What's the deal with the Blood Bat? Did he kill and then eat? What kind of character is such a thin person who is capable of hunting blood bats about the same size as a human? Did he find out we were coming in the first place? Will he be against us? If it was really a survivor from seventeen years ago, he was trapped here for seventeen years, and his mind was still clear? I have many, many things I want to ask him.

"Hey! Who are you? Fat Bao said boldly to the man.

I pulled Hotaru behind me, and the mixed flashlight in my hand shone tightly at him, beware that he would suddenly pounce. There is a stranger in this kind of never-ending underground ruins, and no matter who he is, he has to be guarded against.

The man didn't react at all.

"Shall you take care of someone? Are you a human or a ghost? Fat Bao asked, "If you don't say anything, we'll pass!" ”

The man still didn't respond.

Fat Bao looked at me for a moment and said, "Let's go over!" ”

"Why don't you go over and take a look, I'll cover you in the back!" I say.

"Your boss, you don't want to be so useless for the rest of your life!" Fat Bao said indignantly, "In your beloved little ......" I quickly covered Fat Bao's mouth, because I already knew what he was going to say.

"What beloved? What are you talking about? Hotaru asked.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! I said, "Fat Treasure just wanted to say that if I go with him, he will give me a share of his beloved beef jerky!" Right, Fat Baby! I looked at Fat Baby with a grin.

Fat Bao twisted his head to the side in dissatisfaction and did not answer.

"But no! I want to protect Hotaru! We're all over, what if something happens to Hotaru-chan? I said.

"That's right! That's right! Fat Bao looked at me with disdain, "It's all bent and you are straight, what else can I say?" I'll go over on my own, okay! ”

"Very good!" I gave a thumbs up to Fat Baby.

"Let's go over together!" Hotaru said.

"No need! Let your brother protect you well! Fat Bao said as he raised his torch and walked over to the man on the right who was sitting motionless on the ground, "Help me light the light!" ”

"Be careful, that person may be the one who ate the blood bat, although he is thin, he should have a strong attack." I say.

My mixing flashlight kept shining on the man. I didn't look at him carefully just now because of surprise and fear, but now when I look closely, I see that something is wrong with this person.

This man is thin and has tattered clothes, and he has probably been here for a long time. His skin was dark and rough, a bit like the bark of a dry tree. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were sunken, but he couldn't make out his expression.

I adjusted the angle of the light so that the flashlight could almost reach his face. An inexplicable wave of fear struck me. The thin man was looking at us motionlessly with an expression of utter fear. I was chilled by him.

"Wait a minute, Fat Baby!" I stopped Fat Baby, "Do you see that man's expression?" ”

"See!" Fat Bao stopped and looked at the man warily.

So far, I just kept shining the flashlight on the man's head, and now I slowly moved the flashlight down, and I was even more surprised that it was still below. I realized that the man was more than just ragged. It looked like his clothes had been torn by force, and his pants were rotten beyond that. This was not what surprised me the most, what surprised me the most was that the man's body below the head was actually a white bone.

Hotaru covered her mouth, looking frightened.

I also pinched a cold sweat! I pulled Hotaru to the side of the fat treasure, and at this time we were only three or four meters away from the corpse.

"Hell with his boss!" Fei Bao said, "Why does this person only have a head that has not turned white, and from his head it doesn't look like a dead person at all, just a little thinner, and other places are no different from normal people!" He seemed to be alive. But the horror in his eyes made my heart furious. ”

"This man looks ugly in death!" Hotaru said. She didn't dare look directly at the corpse with a look of fear.

"I finally know what that other strange smell is!" I took away the tissue that was covering my nose and sniffed it lightly, saying, "It's a very faint scent coming from this corpse." The smell of blood and the slight scent were mixed together and should be the strange smell we had smelled before. ”

"Why does a corpse smell for no reason?" Hotaru said.

"Now is not the time to talk about taste!" "Now what I want to know is why this man didn't have his head turned into white bones after he died, and he still looked like a living person, except for his wrinkled skin!" ”

"And the man's expression looks as if he saw something terrible before he died!" Hotaru said scaredly, "I don't know what he encountered?" ”

I bit my finger and thought for a moment, and said, "I guess this person must have been a member of the archaeological team seventeen years ago." The aroma emanating from its body is estimated to have an antiseptic effect, so his head is not corrupted! ”

"Can perfume be embalmed?" Fei Bao asked.

"From ancient times to the present, there have been many cases of corpses not decomposing!" I said, "In Shaanxi, a thousand-year-old female corpse was unearthed, and she also exuded a light fragrance. According to scientists, this is an ancient antiseptic technology that has long been lost, and it is no longer possible to find the raw materials for making embalming. Scientists believe that the principle of embalming is probably that the deceased ate or was poured with embalming before death, and that thing has a chemical reaction with the corpse, causing the human body to produce a light fragrance. This aroma has antiseptic properties, killing bacteria and viruses so that corpses do not decompose. Moreover, this place is relatively dry and the temperature is cold, which is not very suitable for the breeding of decomposing organisms, and it also has a certain antiseptic effect. If the corpse is stiff but not decomposed, it becomes what the world commonly calls a zombie. ”

"You...... Are you saying it's a zombie? Can he still move? Fei Bao said.

"This kind of zombie is not the zombies you see in "Zombie Taoist" who often jump out to chase and bite the old and weak women and children, but generally refers to all dead and stiff, stiff but not rotten corpses."

"If this incorruptible corpse is really from the archaeological team, then where did he eat embalmed?" Fei Bao asked.

"How do I know?" I say.

"I have one more question." "You explain to me why only the head of this corpse is intact, and there is only one skeleton below the head?" Don't tell me that these antiseptic aromas only prevent the head from rotting! Fei Bao said.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, and my heart was beating wildly, and I said, "I have a clue about this." But I'm afraid that if I say my conjecture, you'll be afraid! ”

"I'm afraid of you having a baseball bat, hurry up!"

I looked at Hotaru, she didn't dare look directly at the corpse, I thought about it for a moment, and told them my conjecture, "Don't you see this man's clothes?" His clothes were torn and his pants were disheveled. ”

"Was it that someone raped first and then killed?" Fei Bao said.

"Brother Jiabao, you are disrespectful to the dead!" Hotaru looked at Fat Bao dissatisfied.

"It's a man, how are you going to rape! Dead perverted! I said.

Fat Bao grinned and said, "I just want to ease the tension!" ”

"My guess is that the lower half of this man's body has been eaten by some beasts!" I say.

As soon as my words came out, Hotaru was frightened, and Fat Bao looked at me with wide eyes.

"Look at his clothes, it should be torn by wild beasts, and his body has been gnawed. He must have seen that terrible beast before he died, which is why he showed such a frightened expression! I continued.

"That'...... That...... Then ......," said Fat Bao for a long time, "then tell me, how can this beast eat only human bodies and not heads?" ”

"I don't know!" I said, "Maybe it's a habit!" ”

"What else does the beast have the habit of not eating heads?" Fei Bao said.

"Just look at the corpse of the blood bat that was gnawed not long ago!" I shone a mixed flashlight at the corpse of a blood bat not far away, "Its body was torn and flesh was blurred, but there were basically no wounds on its skull!" ”
