Chapter 11: The Gloomy Wooden Coffin
After looking around, we were all tired enough to choke and our stomachs began to rumble, so we were ready to sit down in an open field and eat some dry food first, although there may be more in the vicinity. The natural enemy of the vampire lobster's, out of professional habits, I still stood up and looked at those monsters, after eating, I lit a cigarette, and after two puffs, I felt a tightness under my feet, something grabbed my ankles, and instinctively wanted to lift my feet to shake off, but found that I couldn't move at all, I realized that something was wrong, and looked down to see that it was a tree vine wrapped around my ankle and tightened more and more, I quickly drew a knife and cut off the tree vine, and then looked around I don't know when it was a dense green vine, as if it surrounded several of us. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The others also noticed the abnormality, gathered around and looked around vigilantly, the bayonets of the four of us soldiers surrounded Professor Song in the middle, Erqi was only sixteen years old at the time, first a few people died, and now he was surrounded by vines that he didn't know where they came from, these vines that were gradually approaching became demonic tentacles in his eyes, and the nerves that had been slightly relaxed suddenly tensed, and he swept around with his rifle, 'Da Da Da ~~ Da ~~ Da ~~Da Da Da', after a shuttle of bullets was gone, I saw sawdust flying everywhere, and then, as if crazy, I took a gun without bullets and slashed wildly with a bayonet.
Things are developing in the worst direction, in less than a day, Professor Song's team of four people is now the only one left, whether it is being sucked alive by lobsters and dying, or being entangled by these vines, it is not as happy for us to give ourselves a shot in the head now, and the current situation can really be described as having no way to enter the heavens and the earth.
Cape was still raising a gun and slashing wildly, but he was entangled in his ankle by a vine, and he fell unsteadily and fell to the sky, and then was dragged by the vine in the direction of the tree, I didn't see it well, the technical team was almost dead, and I couldn't let my small armed team die, so I was shocked and chased after the gun, and there were more and more vines on the road, and Cape quickly disappeared from my sight, and he swung out a knife to cut off the vines in front of me, and looked back at the other three, and saw that the cigarette butt I had just thrown away was still smoking, The vines beside them all bypassed the cigarette butts and stretched out towards the Great Northeast.
At this time, they used both hands and feet, and at this time they only hated my father and mother for giving birth to their arms and legs, I shouted: "Professor Song, hurry up and ignite the fire" Originally, I was going to throw a grenade out, but the flame temperature of the grenade explosion was enough to set these vines on fire, and the vines around me at this time had surrounded me to death, and the grenade still didn't go out at all, so I could only blow myself up.
Professor Song picked up a thick wooden stick, tore the clothes on his body into strips and wrapped it at one end, and lit it into a torch, the surrounding vines retreated with a wave of the torch, as if they were afraid of the high temperature of the flames, several people hurriedly ran towards me, and after the surrounding vines retreated, I sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
It was impossible to go back the way we came, and now we had to venture in the direction of the big tree, and the four of us cautiously walked inside with a torch.
These vines are connected to the rhizomes of the big tree, and after looking around the four basketball courts, the outside is already full of blood-colored 'big lobsters', and I looked around under the big tree, but I didn't see the figure of Cape Er, and I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. This big tree has the thickness of the four of us embracing, find a corner and put a grenade on the ground, the detonation time of the Type 59 grenade is only a short 3 to 4 seconds, we just walked to the other side of the tree, there was a loud explosion, this single tree only trembled slightly, and the root of the tree only blew out a big pit that can accommodate one person, and it was dark and bottomless.
It is also a road to the sky, God knows what will be waiting for us in this pit, but it is much stronger than being entangled by these vines and being sucked dry by lobsters, gritting my teeth and stomping my feet, I lit a torch and went down the hole first, the bottom of the hole is only three or four meters away from the ground, for a few of us to be soldiers, but it is difficult for Professor Song to be an intellectual, plus the previous teammates are all dying in front of me and can't eat anything, and after running for so long, I have long had no strength.
Dadongdong had no choice but to carry him on his back, and then climb down the cave wall little by little. When the last little stammered and went down to the bottom of the cave with a torch, the vines on it lost their threat and sealed the entrance to the cave in a blink of an eye, and no trace of sunlight shone in, and the flickering torches illuminated the cave in front of him, revealing a trace of weirdness that made people have an ominous premonition.
Holding torches and looking around to make sure there was no danger for the time being, a few people sat on the ground and counted the equipment and ammunition, the gun and grenade were the only weapons we had on us, we threw away some of our equipment when we were chased by the 'vampire lobster', and the only radio station had disappeared as the cape was pulled closer to the depths of the tree, leaving only some weapons, five flares and dry food with us.
The scope of the fire was limited and we couldn't tell the direction, and the compass on our bodies was spinning and turning underneath, so there was no intention of stopping, let alone distinguishing the direction, so I loaded a flare and shot it into the distance, and the bottom was immediately as bright as day. The space beneath us was much larger than we had imagined, almost as far as the vampire lobster enclosed above, and a huge tree root next to us stretched from above to the bottom. The hole where I jumped down was in the gap between the rhizomes, and the flare I had just shot out of the crack also hit the gap, and if it was a little more biased, it would bounce back on the thick rhizome, and I was a little scared when I thought of it, and I was almost killed by myself.
When I was shocked, Da Dongbei said, "Squad leader, where is Old Man Song?" Why is it gone? ”
I looked back, except for Da Dongbei and Xiao Stammer, I really didn't see Professor Song: "Isn't he with you?" How do you know that a big living person is gone? ”
Da Dongbei said with an aggrieved expression: "I was stunned when you fired a flare, how do you know this; The old professor ran away alone. ”
I waved my hand: "Forget it, look around, you must find Professor Song"
Due to the height, the flare quickly fell to the ground, and the light disappeared, and the three people held the flashlight because they were afraid of the reappearance of the vines, each of them still held a torch, looking for Professor Song in three different directions, for fear of another accident, the three people agreed to flash the flashlight every ten steps, and if there was any finding, they flashed twice, until they could not see the light and then returned to the same place to gather, I headed towards the center of the root neck of the big tree, and after flashing the fifth flashlight, the huge rhizome in front of me was wrapped into a huge column, Faintly visible, a square thing in the middle of the huge column was fixed in mid-air by the rhizome, and due to the distance, the light of the flashlight could only reach a basic outline.
Although I was bold, but I still had some palpitations when I thought of the previous situation, I turned around and hit the flashlight twice, and after a while both of them came over, explaining the reason for letting them come, and the little stammered hurriedly said: "Squad leader, I I heard the dried chili pepper say, there is a custom in their hometown, called hanging hanging... ”
I rolled my eyes and asked, "Hanging coffin?" The little stammered a few times, and his head couldn't say anything for a long time.
Looking at this thing, I never thought it would be a coffin, but now when I walk in, the rhizome of the big tree is held up at a height of about two meters, the size is just enough to fit a person, and there is no trace of cohesion under the whole body black, just like a complete trunk hollowing out the middle, which reminds me of a story recorded in the "Ancient Seal" that Qin Shi Huang sent a large number of people to find a material that does not decay for thousands of years after unifying the six countries, as his coffin after a hundred years, called "gloomy wood", Legend has it that the gloomy wood is the tree that opened up the past, sinking in the sand waves, overturning the world and the number of catastrophes, re-emerging in the world, so that it re-enters the soil, and it is not bad for ten thousand years. Put a piece on the ground, a hundred steps away, and the gnats do not fly. Not to mention being used as a coffin to hold the corpse.
I can't help but be shocked when I think of this, the coffin is placed on the rhizome under the big tree, this kind of thing is unheard of, this unfinished "Ancient Seal" records a large number of strange events, and has never mentioned similar things, who is it in? And why was he buried in this way?
A bunch of questions were drawn in my mind full of question marks, knowing the danger but a strong curiosity drove me to go up to see what was going on, I don't know but what I thought, the ghost took out the compass from his pocket and looked at it, the pointer pointed straight at the gloomy wooden coffin, of course we three semi-literate people don't know what the magnetic field effect is. I told them to go up and see if those dead comrades had anything to do with the ghost coffin. At this time, although I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, my current situation was only the most suspicious of this gloomy wooden coffin.
Pulled out the bayonet on the rifle, handed the gun to the Great Northeast, held a flashlight in his mouth, and climbed up carefully, such a big gloomy wooden coffin, I don't know who was in it, at this time I don't believe in ghosts and gods, took the bayonet to find the gap in the coffin board and inserted it, knocked on the thick gloomy wooden coffin board for a long time without any response, I continued to climb up for a while, grabbed the rhizome with both hands and stepped on the bayonet with both feet and jumped hard, a faint creak, that is, the weight of the coffin board, but also that there is a play in opening it, Drawing the bayonet and prying it in the same way in every direction, the huge thick coffin board was loosened little by little.
