Chapter 19: Liz and Lu
The human calf bone is composed of two bones, the thick one is the tibia, which is mainly used to support the weight of the human body, and the other is called the fibula, which is attached to the outside of the tibia, and the front end of the bone is slightly pointed.

The shin bones in front of me still had some corpse attached to it, which had not yet been completely decomposed, and the remaining corpse contained muscles and ligaments, and I was dumbfounded. In order to prove what I thought in my heart, I didn't care if it was evil or not, I reached out and grabbed the front end of the bone, and slowly dragged the whole foot out, I don't think Feng Xin and they would be so naïve that they didn't understand what it was. The calf bone was pulled out by me little by little, and our faces became more and more ugly...... The lower edge of the entire tibia was still connected to a trace of carrion, and the other side of the corpse was barely connected to a fibula.
I pulled both bones out and lined them up, and the moment the bones came together, my heart almost hit out of my chest.
I gasped and stared coldly at what appeared to be a human bone.
By proportion, the owner of this calf bone should be a man, or a very tall woman, I am not an expert in anthropology, and I can only judge so much in terms of the art of human anatomy that I have studied.
"Uh-huh, it looks like someone got ahead of the curve."
Depend on. It's really a human bone, and I'm sure I'm right if I say it, so it can be seen that this mermaid corpse pile is mixed with human bones, and it's no longer "suspicious".
The four of us glanced at each other, Qian Yan showed a look of disgust and helplessness, I felt a little sympathy for her, but I couldn't hide myself, Feng Xin untied the ponytail and re-tied a simple bun, and I put back on the shoes that would eat feet. Retrieving corpses in corpse water, shoes are better than nothing.
"Yous!" Shouting to yourself. (In Japanese, it means to be ready.) )
"How are we going to find it?" I shouted to the front.
"Fish it with your hands!" The car returned to a look that was none of his business.
The roll of my eyes rolled widely, "I mean, it's inefficient to find so many corpses like headless flies, is there an SOP?"
"Search?" Ziche and Feng Xin glared at me at the same time, and repeated it, as if I had said something that I shouldn't have said.
"Huh...... To Ah ...... SOP......" I'm embarrassed.
Qian Cai laughed, "I'm just asking if you have a more efficient way."
"Nope!" Ziche returned simply, squinting at the corpse pit behind him, "Although it is not the first time to fish for a corpse, but ...... It's the first time it's been so lively. Let's make steel by local method, Shandong." He raised his hands and smiled at me, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he didn't smile at all.
Feng Xin and Qian Cai have already begun to fish, looking at this vast sea of corpses, I have indescribable anxiety in my heart, although Qian Cai is very repulsive on the surface, but the actual operation is very skilled, she fished in front of her and passed it in a flash. The other two too, almost all of them can tell if they are human bones just by looking at them. I'm curious about what kind of work these people do when they are young. I don't know the SOP, but I know how to salvage the body.
His hands were stretched out and groped in the corpse water, and some of the corpses that were obviously mermaids were about to be shaved off by the first round and dragged aside. At first, I was a little afraid, the remains of those upper limbs were really similar to humans, and the touch of carrion corpses was also incomprehensible, some carrion corpses were seriously hydrated, and they melted away as soon as they grabbed them, and there were some parts that resembled fins.
After a while, the original shock of discovering human corpses had receded, and looking at those corpses, it felt like looking at the same thing, like a meat processing employee in a food factory.
The car began to find some bones one after another and put them out of the pit, well, a shoulder blade and a head. He crouched down and lined up the bones in a positional order.
"Land"
This is the word that Ziche exposed on his waist when he was about to squat, following Feng Xin's wife.
I didn't dare to linger on my gaze, anyway, I had a bottom in my heart, guessing that they were colleagues, just like a public agency, the same unit but different departments.
Soon, I fished out a pair of pelvic cavity, with a vertebra at the upper end, and some carrion still remained around the entire pelvis, which was quite a bit of a performance, and I was not sure if it was human, until I saw the back of the waist.
"Auntie", I didn't expect this word to appear again so quickly, and my eyelids jumped unconsciously.
There is a mole on the remaining flesh on the back of the torso, and the bottom of the mole is also branded. Hmph, it seems that the brother in my hand is in the same department as Feng Xin, so maybe he will still sit next door.
I gently held that section of my torso to the corpse pit and beckoned Feng Xin to come over. Although the newly picked up head is still stained with a little hair, the facial features have been distorted and deformed, the eye sockets are sunken due to the lack of eyeball support, and the teeth and flesh of the oral cavity are peeled off, revealing yellowed teeth and irregular dentition.
Feng Xin squatted down next to my shoulder, his eyes confused.
As soon as I turned that torso over, I began to feel the sound of breathing in my ears rapid.
People are really wonderful creatures, even if they suppress their emotions, they can't suppress their hearts, Feng Xin's expression doesn't fluctuate much, but there is a touch of complexity in his eyes, and he wants to speak again, and after a few seconds, he exhales a long breath, "I know."
He didn't say anything to me, and we each went back to the pit to continue the salvage. Give up the parts that are too fragmented and only pick the big target.
In the end, we had two heads, two right shoulder blades, a pair of chests that had not yet fallen apart, ribs, a pelvic cavity, three femurs, and two tibia of apparent different lengths. The corpses weren't complete, they all had some carrion sticking to them, but at least they knew they were two people.
Ziche and Qian's eyes were all focused on the imprint of the pelvic cavity, each with their own thoughts. No one wanted to talk about it, and I chose to remain silent.
"These two men don't seem to have found anything either."
"They're dead here? Why didn't they go out?" Qian Yu hugged his chest with his hands, and his voice trembled slightly.
"That's why I said this isn't like a tomb, it's a cage. Not long after I came in, I wanted to go out and have a look when I saw you coming, but ......."
"Can't you get out?"
"That's why I said this cave was unusual."
"I think I can definitely go out when I go out, otherwise how would the previous merman seal the tomb? It's just that we haven't found a way." Ziche calmly expressed his opinion.
"Then why did they die together in this corpse pit? If I hadn't, I wouldn't have wanted to get even a step closer to this pit." I asked.
Qian Yan looked at me intently, "Xiao Ran, when you don't have a choice, you will also want to jump in."
"Why?"
"Food, when you are dying of hunger, don't you feel tempted to see this pit full of big fish and meat?" Ziche asked me.
"Heartbeat, it's a corpse." I didn't even get through my brain, so I immediately dismissed it.
"Oh, I hope so." His expression was full of meaning.
"Less there, the chickens and pigs you eat every day are not corpses." Qian Yu also asked me rhetorically.
After they said this, I remembered that when I fished up the corpses just now, almost all of them were connected by some flesh and flesh, and there were more skeletons left in the parts of the fish body, "but there are so many more, and they haven't finished eating them." I muttered quietly.
"Because there is no water." Feng Xin looked at me.
Yes, there is only salty sea water here, and you can't drink it, and even if you have food and no water, the creature will die.
He then said, "Didn't you notice? There is heaven and sea here, but it is not the real world."
"What?" I looked around and didn't see anything wrong, the reef stretched on both sides, and the sea stretched as far as the eye could see.
Hearing Feng Xin's serious tone, I couldn't help but close my eyes and begin to feel the breath of the wind. The air around me was very sticky, the pungent smell did not fade because of the sea breeze, the whole air seemed to be not moving, and even the sea surface did not have waves that should be there.
I was horrified, "This ...... Is it the seaside?" It feels like a large super-rectangular factory, with a 3D blue sky and clouds projected on the ceiling, and the space is divided in two, one part covered with sandstone and the other filled with seawater. It's like a scene from a Hollywood film.
"It should be a space created by the merman, or another world."
"True or false? This...... Is it possible?" Create a space? My brain was starting to get knotted, but I thought it was possible.
