Chapter 60: The Frozen Female Corpse
readx;
The three men stood there and looked at me and Lao Yang for a few moments, and soon, they reacted, helped their injured companions, and began to run. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They didn't run very fast because they were carrying the wounded and sick, and if Lao Yang and I pursued hard, we could catch up with them. But we don't plan to do this, firstly, we are worried that Uncle Ma and Yang Xue will see them, and secondly, they have an advantage in numbers, if they are forced to hurry, they can only fight to the end of the net. The three of them staggered to the end of the cave hall, and before they had time to think about it, they plunged into the branch cave on the left.
When they entered, they walked forward without hesitation, and in a short time disappeared into the deep cavern. Lao Yang and I turned around and went back, Uncle Ma had already woken up, and it seemed that he had just heard a little movement, but he didn't see what was going on. Lao Yang and I casually exchanged a few perfunctory words, and he didn't ask any more questions. Yang Xue also woke up from her slumber, but she looked very weak, her face was pale due to excessive blood loss, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
I went over and fed her some water, but I knew it wouldn't help, and if she didn't get effective treatment on the line, she would soon be overwhelmed. I anxiously urged Lao Yang, saying that we should hurry up, and there was no point in continuing to rest in the same place.
Lao Yang did not object, but Uncle Ma said:
"Young man, I know you're worried about her, but we haven't fished anything out of our way in this time?"
The meaning of Uncle Ma's words was obvious, and I couldn't help but glare at him when I heard it, and said coldly:
"You want to separate from us?"
Uncle Ma looked at me embarrassedly, then at Lao Yang, and said embarrassedly:
"Let's go into the ice cave together, if there is any treasure in it, I will find it alone, you don't have to wait for me, of course, if I succeed, I will give you half of it!"
"Who scarces your half!" I angrily replied to Uncle Ma, "But since you have paid attention to it, your legs are long on yourself, and we can't stop you if you want to go......"
Uncle Ma was choked by me, very embarrassed, and his face was not very good-looking, but he didn't say anything, and I didn't continue to taunt him, and several people acquiesced to this matter. Although Lao Yang is also extremely enthusiastic about the treasure, he wants to take me and Yang Xue out alive, which I can see from his anxious eyes, but Yang Xue is now difficult to move, and must be supported by us to move forward.
A few of us helped Yang Xue and slowly walked towards the ice cave in the middle, according to Uncle Ma, you can see a little icicle in less than a kilometer, if you continue to go deeper, the size of the icicle will get bigger and bigger, and the temperature will get lower and lower, but this is good, we don't have to worry about the attack of mountain ghosts, because this creature does not have thick fur like other animals, so the cold tolerance is very poor, and it should not enter the ice cave.
Speaking of mountain ghosts, Lao Yang suddenly glanced at me, and made a look of wanting to say something, as if he knew something about mountain ghosts, but Uncle Ma and Yang Xue were present, so it was inconvenient for him to say it directly. I gave him a look, which roughly meant that there was something we would talk about separately. Lao Yang bowed slightly at me and agreed.
Soon after we went deeper, we felt a cold current rushing towards our faces, and the more we went inside, the stronger this feeling became. We walked for about half an hour, and finally saw some ice cubes hanging around the cave, not very large, but very sharp, and under the light, it was cold.
As we went deeper, the cave gradually expanded in the shape of a gourd, and the icicles around it grew larger and larger, and soon we entered a circular cavern full of crystals. Some of the icicles came down from the roof of the cave, and the light reflected our shadows, which was very spectacular. There are many large and small icicles scattered around, and there is a thick layer of ice on the cave wall, and the whole cave is white and cold. Although we already knew we were going to enter the ice cave, it was the first time we had seen it with our own eyes, and we couldn't help but be deeply shocked by the spectacular sight in front of us.
"It's spectacular......"
Even Lao Yang couldn't help but sigh.
The faint Yang Xue saw the wonderful scenery around her, and she couldn't help but snort:
"It's beautiful...... What is this place? Is it a dream? ”
I looked at Yang Xue in my arms worriedly, and said to her softly:
"It's not a dream, it's an ice cave, a special geological phenomenon formed by air convection......"
"You're really boring," Yang Xue suddenly said with disgust, "Don't you have an eye for appreciating beauty at all?" ”
I was angry and amused when I heard this, and said, "I studied art, and I'm afraid that everyone here can't compare to me in terms of appreciation of beauty, but your situation is not good at the moment, and I really don't have the heart to appreciate these beautiful scenery." ”
We stopped in the ice cave for a moment, checked the terrain in front of us, and the position we were in was only a place where the ice cave was slightly expanded, which was equivalent to a person's "waist", and we had to continue to move forward before it was possible to reach the "head", however, at this time, Lao Yang had a little discovery. In the ice near the cave wall, a black object actually appeared, and when Lao Yang saw it, he hurriedly beckoned us to come over, pointed to this thing and said:
"Look, how did this man get locked in the ice?"
I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed a humanoid object in the ice, black, with a head and legs, and its body was frozen in the ice, about a meter deep. I put my eyes up again to try to get a glimpse of the corpse, but unfortunately the ice was so thick that I couldn't see the exact face. I stepped back, thought for a moment, and said to them:
"It's weird, this corpse looks like it's been sealed in ice......"
Unexpectedly, Lao Yang raised the mountaineering pickaxe and chiseled it on top of the ice, trying to smash the ice open and dig out the corpses inside.
Uncle Ma was shocked to see it from the side, and hurriedly dissuaded:
"This corpse is really weird, if it is a sealed zombie, wouldn't it be your own death to dig it up?"
Lao Yang smiled lightly, but he didn't stop digging, and still struggled to swing the pickaxe towards the ice, and the pickaxe smashed into the ice and left a crack, it seemed that there was still a layer of hollow inside, otherwise it wouldn't have cracked so easily.
"Zombies?" Lao Yang smiled and said, "Even if it's a zombie, it's frozen, what can it do to us?" ”
I looked at it and said:
"This corpse is quite big, but it's a little thinner than me, is it the treasure hunter back then? But how did you suddenly freeze to death in the ice? Didn't anyone who traveled with him help him? ”
Lao Yang ignored my inquiry, and swung his pickaxe to dig up the corpses inside the ice. However, after digging for a long time, the ice seemed to be very hard, and although there was a little crack in the surface, it was still dozens of centimeters away from the place where the corpse froze. Lao Yang was skinny and had no strength, and he began to sweat after digging for a while. I was worried that his body temperature would be out of balance due to the sudden heat and cold, so I hurriedly grabbed the pickaxe and said let me take care of you, and you can rest next to you.
I grabbed the pickaxe and was about to excavate, but Yang Xue, who was next to me, suddenly pulled me and said that she should take a look, as if something was wrong. I stopped to get out of the way, and Yang Xue stuck to the dug ice, wiped off the covered ice slag with her hands, and stared at it carefully with her eyes. She looked at it for several minutes, as if trying to see something clearly, but because the ice was too thick to do so, she finally withdrew her body and said in a somewhat trembling tone:
"The corpse inside is so familiar, it seems like I've seen ...... somewhere"
I, Lao Yang, and Uncle Ma couldn't help but tremble when they heard this, what are you kidding, I don't know how many years this corpse has been sealed in the ice, how can I see it anywhere? Wouldn't Yang Xue be confused by her injury?
Yang Xue saw that we didn't believe it, bit her lip, and said as if she had made up her mind:
"That's right! I should have seen this corpse alive, it was so similar! ”
Yang Xue said even more surprisingly this time, what words? Ever seen a corpse alive?
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
Yang Xue glanced at the corpse inside the ice again, and said a little hesitantly: "I didn't lie to you, I really seem to have seen this corpse alive somewhere, it's just that I can't remember it for a while...... Where have you seen it? ”
Yang Xue frowned and fell into a long thought.
I ignored her, saying that no matter how I dug up the ice and got the corpse out, the truth would be revealed, and it wouldn't take much time anyway, so I swung my pickaxe to dig up the ice. Since my strength was greater than that of Lao Yang, the progress of the excavation was faster, and after a while, I dug more than ten centimeters into it. At this time, through the thinner and thinner layers of ice, some specific features of the corpses inside could already be seen. I saw that this corpse was wearing a set of ancient clothes, because I don't know much about ancient costumes, so I can't be sure which dynasty and which generation, anyway, the style of the clothes is a bit like Hanfu, and, according to the black hair on the head of the corpse and the outline of the face, it can be determined that this is a female corpse.
"Strange!" I waved my pickaxe and said to myself, "Why is this corpse wearing ancient Hanfu and still a woman?" Could it be that there was a woman among the treasure collectors back then, and her personal hobby was retro? ”
At this time, Yang Xue grabbed my arm and said tremblingly:
"Can't dig anymore! I have a very bad feeling that if the body is dug up, we will all die! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but shout to Yang Xue:
"Why are you so surprised? Who's going to die? Isn't it just a corpse? ”
Yang Xue said innocently: "Please, don't dig it?" I feel this feeling really strongly, please don't dig any more! ”
The more Yang Xue said this, the more curious I became, what kind of corpse was inside, could it be the body of the possessed female ghost? I asked Uncle Ma, but he said that the corpse in the ice had little to do with the female ghost, because there were several sealed jars in the deeper part of the ice cave, and he opened one of the jars to hit the female ghost's path, which is enough to show that the female ghost was sealed in that clay pot, and it should have nothing to do with the female corpse at the moment.
I think Yang Xue was a little fussed, and was about to raise the pickaxe to continue digging, but at this moment, the female corpse that was frozen in the ice suddenly moved slightly.
"Ah......h
I didn't have any mental preparation, I screamed in fright, the whole person lost my balance, took two steps back and fell to the ground, pointing to the female corpse in the ice, my mouth open but I couldn't spit out a word for a long time.
It's so weird, how could this female corpse, which had been frozen for an unknown number of years, suddenly come back to life? Could it be that I was hallucinating because I was nervous? No, I just saw it clearly, the female corpse did move its body towards me, although the movement was subtle, but I still saw it. Could it be that this female corpse is really some kind of demon that is sealed here?
When a few people saw me and fell to the ground in fright, they helped me up and asked me what I had seen.
"I ......," I said, "I saw the body move." ”
Uncle Ma looked at me with a frown and said:
"Young man, how can the corpse move, is it really a zombie?"
Lao Yang and Yang Xue didn't speak, they just leaned up to take a look, they pushed away the ice slag, and almost put their eyes on the dug place, peeking in. After a while, Lao Yang turned around and said:
"Where did it move? You're dazzled, right? ”
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Xue suddenly screamed and looked at the inside of the ice in amazement. Lao Yang, Uncle Ma, and I hurriedly got up, only to see that inside the ice, the female corpse in Hanfu was shaking all over, as if it was very cold, and stretched out a pale and sharp hand, constantly scratching the ice, trying to scratch the ice with its long nails.
"Oh my God!" I exclaimed, "She wants to come out!" ”
I roared, and continued to observe, and the female corpse paused for a moment, and began to move again, this time in a series of unbelievable actions, only to see that she suddenly half-clenched her hands into fists, and through a little gap, she struck at us on the ice, and the whole behavior looked very strange.
Several of us looked at the cold hairs on end, and Uncle Ma pointed to the female corpse and said in a daze:
"What the hell does she mean? If it's a zombie, how can the fingers still stretch and contract? This...... What the hell is this? ”
No one could have known what it was, and the corpse kept tapping its hands on the ice, making a sound similar to a knock on the door, and the sound tugged at the nerves of the four of us, and for a moment we put our faces on the excavated ice, and we were all stunned by the strange sight that was happening in front of us.
I don't know how long later, the female corpse pressed a blurred face against the ice again, and the black hole mouth opened and closed, as if to say something to us.
"She seems to be begging us for help!"
Yang Xue suddenly said excitedly. (To be continued.) )
