Chapter 31: The Third Night: Hiding the Body

Looking at the corpses again, I found that these corpses had been blistered to ashes, but none of them were seriously decomposed, apparently they had not been dead for much time, and the corpses were not soaked in the muddy water and turned white, but a little blue, which looked a little unusual......

There are so many dead people here, and they have all just died not long ago, obviously these must be the third uncle's people. I shuddered at the thought of the empty camp, which must have been brought to this quagmire by the cockscomb snake after being bitten to death.

Are these people the first to have an accident, or the third uncle who survived? Is the third uncle among them?

I suddenly remembered the cry of the little third master I heard just now, and said in my heart, isn't this someone calling me, it's the soul of the guy here, who wants me to discover this place and guide me?

My brain swelled, but the blue light of the watch went out again, and the surroundings fell into darkness again......

I picked up the watch again, began to touch the pocket of the corpse in front of me, from his trouser pocket, I found a wallet, it had been blistered to death, I picked it up, and threw it towards the light spot on the stone wall on the side, and I didn't throw it, I electrolyzed the flashlight on the person's belt, and threw it over, and I found that it was wrong, but it was too late, the flashlight had flown out, and I was about to slap myself, but this time it worked, and the bush that stuck the miner's lamp was hit, and the miner's lamp slipped down and fell into the water. sank.

I grabbed the protrusion of the rock with one hand, and at the same time stretched out my hand with all my might, barely reaching, and scooped up the miner's lamp, which was very light, but was washed a few meters downstream by the current, and I didn't know where to go.

This time I saw more clearly, I shone the miner's lamp around, and found that it was part of the swamp, similar to a primitive waterhole, the water flowed to one side, and the miner's lamp shone out, and I saw that the downstream of the water flow was a stone ruin carved with a beast's head, and the water flowed to the ruins, flowing from the open mouth of the beast, and as I thought, there must be a wellhead below, and it must have been dangerous in the past.

I began to swim upstream, tied the lamp to my waist, and began to move against the rock wall, and as I looked my way, I saw a large number of corpses lying in the swamp, most of them all sunk into the mud, except for the stiff hand or other parts, and the bottom of the pool was almost all at the bottom.

As I walked, I avoided the corpses, but there were too many corpses to escape, and many of the corpses were washed away by the current of water that I stirred up. I found that on their necks, there were two blackened perforations, and the whole neck was blackened, and the surrounding part appeared blue.

They were all bitten to death by snakes, and there were no signs of fighting in the entire camp, either directly in their sleep, or they were attacked on a large scale while marching here.

I adjusted the miner's lamp, looking for their faces one by one nervously, wanting to see if there was a third uncle from them.

I don't want to see the third uncle, but reason tells me that I can't escape, this mood is like a parent who recognizes his son's body, I have to confirm it and I really don't want to confirm it, but under the cover of silt, it is not easy to identify, I looked at it one by one, and I didn't find anyone like the third uncle, and at the same time, I couldn't be sure that these were not the third uncle.

Just when I was about to give up, my miner's lamp shone on one of the faces, which was not yet completely covered with mud, and I subconsciously stopped, and immediately noticed that this face was a little familiar, and I immediately recognized it.

That's Anin!

Her eyes were closed, and her whole person was in a very strange posture, her body was only covered with a thin layer of mud, and the corpse spots on her face were already very obvious.

I almost choked, looked around, and thought to myself that those snakes had brought her body here!

The miner's lamp shone out, and from the surface of the corpse, it seemed that this was still an ordinary corpse, and there was no serpentine mutation, so the black shadow we saw at that time was not her? So, what is that black shadow that emits radio-like noise?

I took a deep breath and leaned over, unable to describe what it felt in my heart, and reached over her body and touched it, there was no walkie-talkie. I tried to pick her up, but I couldn't do it. Her face was washed clean by the swamp water I stirred, and her hair hung down with a strange serenity, and at that moment I felt as if she was still alive.

But then I sank her back into the swamp, and the murky water disappeared without a trace.

My heart was extremely sour, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt cold.

What is this quagmire, is this the place where they pile up their food? Giant pythons may appear here to eat?

I felt extremely uneasy, this place was not safe, and I had to get out of here immediately.

Thinking that I waved the lamp and looked for a place to climb around, I soon noticed that in the opposite direction of the water, there was a tree vine hanging into the water. I bit the lamp and swam that way, taking a few steps to reach it and grabbing the vine.

The mist had thinned a little, and I gritted my teeth and climbed up the vines, but I thought of what the stuffy oil bottle said, when the mud was snake-proof, I went down and picked up a hand of silt, wiped it on the place where the mud was washed away by the water, and then climbed up again, until I climbed to the branches of the vines, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

I walked along the branches to the center of the canopy, and I was just about to climb down the tree, when I suddenly heard a sound of water in the pool on the side, and something fell down.

I looked for the sound, and I saw that there was a ripple on the side of the water, something rolled down from the shore, and the lamp shone in that corner, and I saw something like a red intestine, which was a large number of cockscomb snakes entwined together. And there was something wrapped in them.

I looked closely, and for a moment I saw a hand come out of the snake pile, and then I saw a chubby human head.

I felt cold and realized that it was a fat man.
