Chapter 52: Floating Corpses

I turned my head in shock and found that this person was none other than Zhou Xuanye. But he looked too embarrassed, covered in black mud and scum, not to mention, there were some abrasions on his body, and now he was holding the ghost in one hand, and the equipment on his body was gone, looking very embarrassed.

I hurriedly greeted him, not to mention how excited I was: "Brother Zhou, you scared me to death, I thought something happened to you." Zhou Xuanye stopped his hand, his right hand was thrust into the ground, and the ghost sword was half-inserted in the soil, he sat down cross-legged, and gasped: "Are you coming back to find me?" ”

I nodded, and found that Zhou Xuanye didn't have any major injuries on his body, and now he looked so embarrassed, it was about the transition of physical exertion, but at this moment, he was the only one, and there was no shadow of Tan Blade. As if to see what I was thinking, Zhou Xuanye pointed to the flow of water, and at this moment, the purple hair floating there had disappeared, and it was about to float into the arched cave with the current.

He said: "He fell into the water with Purple Hair, and I don't know what happened now." ”

Song Qiaoming was shocked, looked at the water hole, and said, "Then we have to go in and find out, but Boss Zhou, what's the matter with you?" ”

Zhou Xuanye coughed and said, "I was kicked by that purple hair halfway and fainted, and I woke up when I heard your voice just now." As he spoke, he looked at the hole where we had burned the corpses and said, "What are you burning?" ”

Junko was the fastest, and immediately told us about setting fire to the purple hair, and I added: "But it's strange that after the burning, there is no residue to be seen." "It is very difficult to burn the hair corpse completely, and there are usually some black lumps left.

Zhou Xuanye told me that this kind of 'black block' produced after the burning of the hairy corpse, in their jargon, is called 'corpse kiln', which is a material for refining corpses, and the higher the level of 'corpse kiln', the rarer it is. At this moment, there are no corpses in the cave.

When Zhou Xuanye heard this, his expression changed, and he said, "That is, it didn't burn, it must have run away with another hole." ”

This explanation surprised me and I couldn't help but say, "Is it a drilling machine?" Can you make a hole so fast? Zhou Xuanye glanced at me, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was very clear, that thing was more powerful than a drilling machine.

Suddenly, I felt that there was an extra layer of white sweat on my forehead, and said, "It's over, it's over, will it come out of a hole elsewhere in a while?" ”

Brother Yang said: "Then what now?" ”

Zhou Xuanye looked at the water flow and said, "The corpse is frozen when it encounters water, let's go into the water to find senior brother first." ”

The weak chicken is a little confused, so "What kind of water and what is stiff?" ”

I was worried that the purple hair that had not been burned to death by us would come out at any time, so I slapped him and said, "Frozen in water!" It's about the stiffness of the corpse in the soil and the nature of avoiding water. "Of course, this is not to say that zombies are afraid of water, in fact, water is divided into yin and yang, the water gushing out of the ground is 'yin spring', and the rain falling from the sky is 'yang dew', and the hair corpse is not good for the water as soon as it is water, so it is natural to avoid water, under normal circumstances, they all walk around the water, of course, except in the case of anger.

Come to think of it, the purple hair last night must have been extremely powerful, and floating in the water at this time must be extremely powerful. If Tan Jian really entered the cave, he didn't know if he would be drowned in the water. At this time, Song Qiaoming heard that going into the water could avoid the corpse, and immediately asked Junzi to take out the inflatable cushion. The plastic inflatable cushion is for emergency use, and it is only a small piece when it is deflated, and it is like a Simmons on the inflatable, due to the hollow design, the cold resistance is very strong, and it is suitable for group carrying.

Shunzi immediately understood what Song Qiaoming meant, and immediately began to inflate the air cushion, it was only about ten minutes of effort, the air cushion was half puffed up, we pushed it into the water, barely used as a raft, and then cut a few tree trunks as rafts, and the group flashed flashlights and went to the arched cave.

It's already nightfall now, and the purple hair that came before has never appeared again. When the air raft passed by the purple-haired body in the water, the lights turned on, and when I looked closely, I saw that its body was crawling with locusts, which was particularly disgusting.

The cave was so tall that there was no obstacle to slipping in, and the water inside the cave was very open, and the surrounding stone walls looked strange when the lights came through. Brother Yang seemed to know a lot about geography, and said: "This cave, thousands of years ago, should have been a large water cave, and the surrounding stone walls are the best proof of this. Later, there should have been a geological movement, the river valley subsided, and the mountain was raised, so this water hole was exposed more than half. ”

Shunzi said: "Lao Yang, I can't see that you still have the potential to engage in geology." ”

Song Qiaoming taught the two of them a lesson, telling Shunzi to shut up and concentrate on finding someone. We waved our flashlights and called Tan Blade's name, but there was no response. It made me wonder if he really had an accident. Subconsciously, I don't think Tan Jian will finish playing so quickly, the last time I was in Gurbantunte, I thought he was dead several times, isn't he alive and well? What's more, now, it was the purple hair that died first, so Tan Jian should be fine.

This idea was quickly confirmed, and when we entered the cave about a hundred meters away, we saw a flashlight on the high ground next to the mountain wall.

The flashlight fell to the ground, emitting a yellow pillar of light.

"Quick, dock." I beckoned Junko and the others to push the air raft towards the flashlight.

Our raft is too watery, in order to prevent it from being scratched, so we don't dare to fill it too much, and when people sit on it, their buttocks sink down, and it is even softer when they step on it. In order to maintain balance, there were three people sitting on each side, and we were careful to move and stroke very unsmoothly.

A moment later, the air raft came to shore, and the rest of us climbed to where the flashlight was located, except for Junko, who remained on the raft. The place is not big, but it is more than enough for a few people to stand, the flashlight lies quietly on it, and there is a * bag in the back.

It was a small black bag that Tan Jian must bring with him every time he went on a mission, and when I opened it, everything in it was there, but the person was gone.

Everyone stood on a high place, taking this as the central point, and looked around with flashlights, trying to find some clues, and soon, a small trace of blood appeared in my sight. The blood trail was at the edge of the platform, faint, long, like the blood rubbed out of someone who had suddenly slipped down from here. I immediately looked down the edge, and there was water below, only about a meter below the water, and there were many large rocks and some stone slabs sticking out, so it should be no problem for people to walk in the water.

An image came to my mind of Tan Blade falling into the water, and then finding this place to land and climbing ashore. He put down his flashlight and bag, perhaps about to wring out the water on his body, but for some reason, he suddenly slipped off the edge of the platform and fell into the water.

There are stones in the water, and they will not drown him, so after falling, Tan Jian should be the first to get up.

If it were me, I would naturally climb up again after I got up.

But apparently, Tan Jian didn't do that.

Obviously, there was probably something wrong with the accident that prevented him from getting up at all.

Thinking of this, I immediately jumped up, and Brother Yang next to me shouted: "What are you doing!" ”

The place was not very high, and after jumping, I stood firmly in the water. From my point of view, I looked at the right rear of a rock, half in the water, half exposed, covering the back so tightly that you could only see the straight floating on the water if you poked your head out.

If Tan Jian didn't get up after falling into the water, then there were only two results, one was to go into deep water, maybe he wanted to swim and exercise temporarily? Of course, the biggest possibility is the second one, that is, in the water, he found something.

At the moment, there is a road hidden in the water under my feet, of course, this road is intermittent, and in some places, I have to swim into the water halfway through. As soon as I told Zhou Xuanye what I thought, he muttered: "What you said makes sense, just follow your speculation and look further." "At that moment, we packed up our flashlights and Tan Blade's small bag, reloaded the air raft, and continued down the most likely route.

Sure enough, not far away, we found Tan Blade.

But this discovery is not worthy of our joy, because his whole body is floating on the surface of the water with large limbs.

Who will float on the water? Dead people, of course!

I felt as if my heart had been hit hard by an invisible hammer, and I cried out: "Boss! Immediately after that, I didn't care so much, so I immediately jumped into the water and swam towards Tan Jian who was floating on the edge of the stone wall.
