Chapter 115: Corpses
The hanging corpse looked hideous under the light of the wolf's eye flashlight, and the wolf's eye flashlight glowed with a pale green light, hitting the corpse's pale white face, looking extremely terrifying. What's even more creepy is that the whole area above our heads is full of hanging corpses, and when I look up, I can't see the top at all, only patches of corpses. Moreover, the corpses are lined up very densely, almost to the point where the front chest is close to the back, making it difficult to estimate how many corpses there are.
The clothes worn on the corpses had long since been stripped, and some of the corpses were even naked. However, the corpse is relatively well preserved, and the corpse has no signs of decay, and what surprises me even more is that there are no corpse spots on the corpse, which is impossible to explain with science, because the corpse here is thousands of years old, and the corpse is not specially treated, but directly hung naked here, under normal circumstances, even if the corpse is used for mercury and is convenient to preserve, but there will never be any signs of corpse transformation, and the corpse here is more like it has just been hung up.
I saw corpses above my head that were men and women, old and young, and even hanging corpses like babies. The expressions of the hanging corpses are unified, all of them are unusually hideous, and before they die, they seem to have gone through countless tortures, which makes people dare not take a second look. There was a rancid smell overhead.
"What the hell is this place? What is the situation of these old hangers hanging up? Where did the stairs we fell down before? What the fuck is this? The bald head asked in a whisper, scratching his head.
Lin Xihui and a few of them have already taken out the wolf's eye flashlight, but the light of the flashlight is limited after all, and we haven't fully understood what this place is for the time being.
I have the same problem as the bald head, but I also have a question, which is about the smell of the rotten corpses here, as we all know, the putrid smell of the corpses is of course caused by the decay of the corpses, but what we see now is that the corpses here do not show any signs of decay, but from the large corpses above, there is a burst of putrid smell.
What's more, the smell of rancid smell only appeared when we found the hanging corpse, and when it first surfaced, it didn't smell any strange smell. We shouldn't have to go until now to smell it. Besides, these corpses look dead for years, and the clothes on their bodies have rotted, but there is no sign of decay in the corpses, especially since the water vapor here is very heavy, which should accelerate the decay of the corpses, how can it be possible to make these hanging corpses intact?
I gently touched Team Zhang next to me and asked him what he thought of these hanging corpses.
Team Zhang's expression was very serious, and he kept staring at the hanging corpse above his head with a wolf-eyed flashlight, and said to me softly, "Judging from the death of these people, they were all hanged alive. But have you noticed that there are no obvious injuries on the necks of these corpses? If they were really strangled to death, they would have blood on their necks, but now there is no blood on the neck of the corpse, and there are not even many corpse spots on the body! And the important point is, how are they hung in the air? There was no connection between the corpse and the roof of the cave, and it looked more like it was floating in the air out of thin air. It's so weird......" Team Zhang said, shaking his head incessantly.
"Captain, if you don't scare the nerd, will you die? Do you think these dead bodies are ghosts? Still floating in the air out of thin air? It must be that the hanging corpse is blocked by the corpse, we can't see it with the naked eye, so don't be scary here. As the bald head spoke, he shone a wolf-eyed flashlight around.
I can hear Team Zhang's words clearly, just like he said, the corpse hanging on the top should not even have scars, which is indeed too strange.
I set my eyes on the old cat and Lin Xihui, at this time Lin Xihui frowned, under the illumination of the wolf's eye flashlight, he was "in a daze" at these hanging corpses, and then turned his head sideways and looked at the old cat beside him. The old cat also had a surprised expression on his face at this time, but it was more of a calmness, an unexpected calmness. It's hard to guess what he's thinking.
"Don't look, there should be a road here, let's continue along the road here. My guess was probably correct, we activated the trap correctly, and it landed in this place. If we were meant to climb up the stairs, we might not have climbed to the end at all. The old cat said coldly to a few of us at this time. Then he held a wolf-eyed flashlight in his mouth and swam forward with both hands paddling.
I said anxiously to the old cat, "I think we should figure it out before we go." It's so strange that the corpses are hanging from them here. Such a large corpse, when we came in, we didn't smell a single rancid smell, why is the rancid smell so obvious now? It can only show that the corpses here have changed. Let's go now, what if these hanging corpses are not good for us? ”
The old cat took care of me in a rare way, he stopped, looked back at me, stopped and looked back at me, and said to me coldly, "If I were you, I would find a way to leave this place immediately, and there would not be so many problems." With that, the old cat swam again.
Lin Xihui patted me from behind and said softly, "Don't worry about this, leave this place first." ”
After that, Lin Xihui also specially told us to pay attention to my body, she said that there are so many corpses here, it is impossible for them to be hung up one by one, it is very likely that there are some mechanisms around, so we must be more careful.
With the corpses all over our heads, our group swam up with the old cat again. The waterhole here should not be big, that is, in ten minutes, the water of the waterhole became shallower and shallower, and soon, we swam out of the pool. The surrounding area has become that kind of stone road again.
As I walked forward, I occasionally looked up with a wolf-eye flashlight, wondering if the bodies were still above us. The number of corpses here was really staggering, and we walked some distance forward, and every time I looked up, I could see that there were still hanging corpses above my head, so that I didn't dare to look up anymore when I got to the back.
What exactly is this place we are here for? Why are there so many corpses hanging, the number of corpses here is at least tens of thousands, plus the "corpse wall" we passed when we came in, I can't imagine the number of corpses.
At this moment, all of a sudden, without warning, a faint green light lit up all around us!
