Chapter 171: Raising the Corpse
The scene suddenly became even more chaotic, although they all knew that they had no possibility of being saved, the people on the boat still kept talking about ambulances and the like, which was also people's last bit of hope, especially for the families and friends of the three team members.

"There is indeed something down there, it's not enough to say more now, I'll go down first and fish up the bodies of those crew members" Yi Chen looked at the expressions of the people around him, sighed slightly, and then said to everyone, and then jumped into the river again.
This time, he was familiar with the road, and Yi Chen came to the bottom of the water he had been to before without any hindrance.
It's just that the corpses of the strange fish that I killed earlier are all gone, and I don't know if they were eaten by other fish or what, and the three severed "mushrooms" have also stopped bleeding, and the whole body seems to have shrunk back into the mud below.
Not only these three, Yi Chen took a closer look, and found that the other "mushrooms" were more or less retracting towards the soil, and a few even moved in front of Yi Chen, obviously out of self-protection, so he made such an act, which also made Yi Chen completely believe that there was definitely something in the soil under his feet, if he wasn't worried about affecting the people above, he really wanted to stab down with a sword to see what was inside.
Searching for those bodies that didn't seem to be very decomposed, it was inferred whether it was the crew of the previous ship, Yao Zhihong had already gotten the information of the missing crew from the company to which the dredging ship belonged, there were a total of 7 people on the ship that day, so there are as many as 7 to find now, plus the previous 3, that is to say, there are enough ten people who died under the water, and this is only two days, I can't imagine what will happen if someone easily enters the water here in the future.
Finally, Yi Chen found the crew members, they were all close to the edge of the river bottom, and they didn't know how they did it, they were all very scattered, so that after Yi Chen dealt with this, he had to run far away to deal with that, and when he found all the crew corpses, there was already a trail of corpses behind him.
Those corpses are all soaked for a day and have begun to swell, that is, Yi Chen dares to do this, in other people's estimation, a person under the water, seeing so many floating corpses, he has to lead a string, it is estimated that he has long been scared to pee.
There should be some hidden things in the surrounding darkness that are peeking at Yi Chen, but they didn't do anything, and Yi Chen also sensed it clearly, but since the body has been found, then go up first, the top priority is to let Yao Zhihong immediately dissolve and seal this place, and then let himself and others thoroughly explore this place, otherwise this hidden danger is really unreassuring.
The river was still flowing gently, and the people on the sand dredging boat had already removed the three bodies, and they were all patiently waiting for the water to reappear.
From time to time, many bubbles bubbled up around the hull, and it was obvious that something was moving underneath, but this time the dust took so long that one couldn't help but worry about what was going on below.
Fortunately, Yichen didn't make everyone wait, and as a dense bubble rose from the water, a figure quickly rushed from the water to the boat, and I don't know when there was an extra rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was still in the water.
"They're all here, pull them up!" Yi Chen handed the rope in his hand to the policeman who had been waiting beside him, and then said to Yao Zhihong: "After the corpses here are settled, you immediately let these people leave the scene, and at the same time block the waters near here, so that people don't get close." ”
"Okay, no problem, is there a problem down there?" Hearing this, Yao Zhihong asked.
"Yes, indeed! But we'll have to wait for the old man to see what that thing is! Yi Chen replied, and then found the half of the mushroom trunk that was being made in the corner of the cabin, carefully studying the half of the mushroom trunk that Yi Chen came back and forth, and Gong Yupeng was next to him to observe together.
Seeing Yi Chen coming back, the old man hurriedly beckoned him over.
When Yi Chen stepped forward, he said: "I can't figure out what this thing is now, let's go back first, I want to find some information, and tell me everything you see on the way." ”
"So is this the situation going to be left like this first?" Gong Yupeng was a little worried, what should he do if his own people left like this, and there was an accident under the thing.
"It's very unlikely, just now I found out that those things seem to be rooted underwater, and they are very capable of hiding things in the mud under the riverbed, and these trunks are growing from inside, and there are a lot of fish like corpse catfish guarding them, and they shouldn't move!" Yi Chen thought for a moment and continued: "And I also found out that this main work is alive, and it will make some moves, and I know that I am extremely dangerous to them, and even conveyed the meaning of letting me leave, but I don't know if this is the consciousness of the thing underneath, or the consciousness left by the person who was killed by it!" ”
"No, we have to quickly figure out what this thing is, and at the same time, Xiao Yao, you hurry up and clear this place, it's best to clean up the people before the night, I listened to the description of the dust boy, and I feel more and more that I seem to have heard of this thing somewhere!" The old man obviously realized something, and said in a hurry.
Yao Zhihong immediately said yes when he heard this, and then walked to the deck, ready to arrange the evacuation, and Yi Chen and the others also got up and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Yi Chen quietly put a small paper figure in the cabin, in case he and the others left, so that even if something really happened, he could immediately grasp the information and arrive in time.
So after arranging these things, everyone returned to the old man's house again.
As soon as he entered the house, the old man rushed directly to the study in the back room to read the relevant information, the half of the trunk in his hand has completely changed its appearance during this time, when it was first brought out of the water by Yi Chen, it was still white and very tender, but at this moment it was really like a dried mushroom, the whole was completely shriveled, and exuded a strong fishy smell.
Taking advantage of this time, Yi Chen hurriedly took a shower to wash off the yellow mud on his body, and then came to the old man's study together.
"Did you find information on this thing?" On the way back, Yi Chen had already told the old man what he had seen below, so now he just waited for him to determine what it was, and then decided what to do.
The old man put down the book in his hand, and then said with some heaviness: "Dust boy, judging from what you said and the situation I analyzed, this thing is likely to be left behind by the people who raised corpses!" ”
"Raising corpses? What kind of sect is this, why haven't I heard of it? Yi Chen was very puzzled.
"This is normal, how old are you, this corpse raising path is an evil sect that only emerged in the war era, and most of the evil people have disappeared in recent years, so there is no news of them on this river and lake, and it is not surprising that you haven't heard of them!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? So what is this corpse raising road, is it very strong? ”
"It's hard to say! However, judging from the information learned, it should be very powerful, because this evil way is different from ordinary corpse chasers, or ghost keepers! Others use corpses or ghosts as their own combat tools, and they say that they are raising corpses, to put it bluntly, they just use corpses as a kind of fertilizer, so as to breed heavier poisonous insects, or exotic flowers and plants, corpse catfish You should know what it is! That thing was made up by the Corpse Raising Dao! ”
"Then this underwater thing is the ghost of the corpse raising road?" Yi Chen was a little skeptical.
"It should be eight or nine years old, and that kind of appearance is likely to be that the corpse raising road found the remaining formation before, and then after their improvement, it became a corpse raising ground, but I don't know what they are raising yet, but it is definitely still underwater!" The old man paused, and then continued to speak: "The people who raise corpses are not ordinary, and they are even more vicious than the soul control dao that was extremely strong at the beginning!" ”
"In the past, in order to collect human souls, the Soul Control Dao only collected some lonely souls and wild ghosts, but it was really impossible to kill some people to collect souls! But this corpse keeper can do whatever it takes to get the corpse he needs, I remember that several villages were all slaughtered one night ago, and the corpses have not been found until now, which shows its cruelty! In particular, they like to use people who have just died as fertilizer, and some even sacrifice them directly to the living, I don't know how hateful it is. ”
Speaking of this, the old man was obviously very angry, and kept tapping on the table with his hand, Yi Chen looked like if it was according to this strength and frequency, it was estimated that the table could be changed in a while.
"Although it is not clear what the people of the corpse raiser have raised there, but since we have discovered it, we must eliminate it, and this is also my duty!" After calming down a little, the old man continued to speak: "I see that we will act at night, and I will go into the water with you to see what is down there!" ”
Yi Chen was a little surprised when he heard this, he rarely saw the old man so angry, according to the character of this old man, it is very likely that he has suffered a big loss in the hands of the corpse raising dao before, otherwise with his old scoundrel character, where will he care!
"It's not a problem, but you don't need to go down, after all, the water is nearly a hundred meters underwater, and I'm a little struggling below, so you still feel at ease and Yu Peng are on top to help me guard it, so as to prevent something from escaping from there!"
"What? Do you kid look down on the old man, let me tell you, don't look at my strength as inferior to you, but in terms of experience, you are still far behind! The old man was very dissatisfied, obviously knowing what Yi Chen was thinking.
"This matter is not negotiable, underwater is no better than land, this time I will not allow any of you to go into the water, either stay on the shore and guard it honestly, or stay here, I don't want to take care of you if the matter is not finished! Even my own strength will be compressed to fifty percent, and you are even more uncomfortable, so it is better to find out what secret passages lead to the water nearby! It's better than going down with me! ”
But Yichen is also iron-hearted, he knows the dangers underwater, so he doesn't allow them to go at all.
