Chapter 7: Lost
In such an environment, any word has the potential to tug at the fragile nerves of human beings.
The other four flashlights pointed at the same point at the same time, and it was a coffin at the top of the far right side of the coffin wall, and his lid was indeed lifted, and it was now resting on a coffin next to it.
If it had been like this, then perhaps these people would not have been afraid of it, but everyone remembered that just now, just a few minutes ago, the coffin was clearly closed.
"We should get out right away."
Gu Qi said in a suppressed voice, and as he spoke, he carefully swept the surrounding situation with a flashlight.
Fortunately, there is no movement around at the moment, five flashlights, one tightly shining on the coffin that has been lifted, just in case, the others are constantly observing the surrounding situation, just like that, the five people carefully observed, while cautiously retreating towards the stone gate behind them.
When she was about to exit the stone gate, Ying Hui also wanted to take out her mobile phone to take a panoramic view of the entire coffin wall, but was resolutely stopped by Gu Qi, in a dangerous and unknown environment, the best way is to remain the same, special actions will always bring unpredictable results.
However, at the moment when Ying Hui put her phone in her pocket, Nie Yu, who was standing not far from her left, watched her fall down, to be precise, she sat down, and that action was clearly tripped over something.
Nie Yu subconsciously shone the flashlight at Yinghui, she didn't make any fuss at first, and wanted to get up with her hands on the ground, but the moment she stretched out her hand to the ground, Nie Yu clearly saw a face that changed from calm to terrifying in an instant.
Ying Hui's movements suddenly froze, and even her terrifying expression froze at the same time, she opened her mouth wide, as if she wanted to shout out, but in the end, she didn't make a sound, she was petrified there, and she didn't dare to move.
Nie Yu's flashlight shone on the ground in the next moment, that is, under Ying Hui's body, at that moment, he was also instantly frightened, there was clearly a person lying under Ying Hui's buttocks, to be exact, it was a corpse, and Ying Hui's left hand was pressing on the corpse's chest at the moment, maybe Ying Hui should feel that her left hand was wet at this moment, because there was a piece of blood on the chest of the corpse, and the blood was still gurgling out of a blood hole.
The next moment, Nie Yu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ying Hui's shoulder, but because Ying Hui seemed to be unable to move at all at the moment, she couldn't pull it up at all.
At the critical moment, how could there be so much care, Nie Yu directly hugged Ying Hui's upper body and dragged her up, but Ying Hui was still motionless, it was just another corpse.
At this moment, the others also reacted, and several bright flashlights pointed at the corpse lying on the ground, the flesh and blood were blurred, and there were several blood holes on the body that had been opened by the force claws, but the blood flowing from those blood holes was not bright red, nor dark red, but a creepy red and green color.
It's like a splash of watercolor from a postmodernist master, but it's even more eerie and terrifying than Picasso's Guernica.
When a flashlight bravely shone at the head of the corpse, the close-up of that face stunned everyone, and a chill spread throughout everyone's body, and the sound could even be heard at the moment when the hair stood on end.
"Xiao Zhang?"
Nie Yu was the first to call out the corpse's name, which was the person his father often mentioned, and he was the best archaeological assistant.
However, in the memories of these people, this person named Zhang Jiong was the only one who escaped from this ancient tomb, although he went crazy soon after, but didn't he already go out?
If the corpse at this time is Zhang Jiong's, then who is the person who escaped?
A terrifying and strange aura permeated the surroundings, and everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe, and for a moment all the mysteries kept hitting the brains of everyone present.
At this time, Gu Qi suddenly said, "Why? ”
As soon as these words came out, the other four people all looked at him, including Ying Hui, who had calmed down slightly, and everyone's eyes seemed to be saying again: "Who knows why?" ”
However, Gu Qi shook his head, obviously he was not talking about the corpse in front of him, the flashlight in his hand kept shining around, "Why, why is this not the tomb we passed through when we came?" ”
Hearing Gu Qi say this, everyone began to take a flashlight to look around, indeed, this is not the tomb road that they passed by when they came, but another tomb, and when the strong light of the flashlight reached the depths of this tomb, another coffin wall appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.
"Nope! The direction we just retreated from is definitely the right one! ”
Nie Yu lowered his head and pondered, "What's more, the tomb just now only has such a door, it is absolutely impossible to go wrong." ”
As several people looked at each other, the scene became weird and embarrassing for a while, and no one could say why, nor what to do next.
They can't go back to the burial chamber again.
In desperation, everyone stopped paying attention to the bullshit corpse and walked to the coffin wall of the tomb once more, hoping to find some answers there.
It was a coffin wall that was exactly the same as the one in the burial chamber just now, the only difference was that there was no open coffin here, and of course, the words on each coffin had also changed, and these were supposed to represent the name of the deceased and the simple life of the words that no one could understand.
But obviously, the words on the coffin are very complicated, according to Yinghui, these words are much more complex than all the existing words, and what is even more confusing is that most of the dates above those names are 74×× years, or even 79 ×× years, which is an era that mankind has not yet experienced.
"Perhaps, the calendar used is not the Gregorian calendar!"
As a history major, Zhang Ning finally said the most insightful sentence when entering the ancient tomb.
However, a moment later, Nie Yu came up with another explanation, "Maybe, maybe these corpses don't belong to this world at all, or they all belong to the previous world. ”
Nie Yu is a scholar and is also very interested in anthropology, he knows that among the known human civilizations, there has never been a civilization that can have such a calendar, because the history of human civilization is not so long, even if it is advocating that the whole world is their country's H country, then they dare not say that they have such a long history of civilization.
After a slight pause, Nie Yu continued: "Maybe, maybe they belong to other eras, a long, long time ago, early to a time that we don't even know. ”
"Nonsense!"
Gu Qi glanced at Nie Yu with disdain, "Old man, I have lived for so long, I have never heard such a ridiculous explanation, if you want me to see, this should be the ancients for some kind of hope, maybe some kind of hope for death or immortality, deliberately written like this, you must know that I have eaten more salt than you have walked, and I have poured more buckets than the houses you have entered." ”
Nie Yu shook his head, "No! This doesn't mean anything, no matter how long a person lives compared to the entire universe, it's just a speck of dust, not even dust. What's more, in that tomb just now, so many foreigners appeared in the ancient tombs of our country, how can this be explained? In your archaeology, no! Have you ever seen it in your career? ”
As soon as this remark came out, Gu Qi didn't know what to say, he just shook his head blindly, although he didn't agree with Nie Yu's statement, but he didn't know how to refute it, he just said helplessly, "This is not a fucking tomb, it's a morgue at all!" ”
At this time, Zhang Ning suddenly spoke, and he said in a trembling voice: "I said, the most important thing for us now should not be to discuss the origin of these dead people, right?" We should now think about how to get out! ”
The so-called word wakes up the person in the dream, but obviously, his sentence at this time is absolutely nonsense, no one here wants to go out, but, at 170 meters underground, can not contact the outside, at this time lost again, it is simply no way to the sky, and you can only sink deeper into the ground.
Seeing that the others didn't react, Zhang Ning was a little annoyed, "Do we all have to wait here to die?" ”
As he spoke, he casually pointed behind him with a flashlight, and said even more excitedly: "Do we want to die here like him?" I don't want to. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, but they were definitely not stunned by Zhang Ning's words, but by his flashlight.
Because, where Zhang Ning's flashlight pointed, it was the entrance to the tomb just now, and they had just retreated from there, but at this time, they knew that it was impossible for them to go back now.
It's not that the stone gate has fallen, but something more terrible than that, the gate is gone, and in its place is a stone wall, the same as all the walls here.
"This ......"
The flashlight in Gu Qi's hands had begun to tremble, he had indeed poured a lot of fights in his life, and it was not strange to see things like zombie zongzi, but the scene at this time really scared him.
After all, those ghostly things, even if they are blue-faced fangs, even if they are elusive, they are things that can be seen and touched, and the strange scene at this time is indeed something he has never seen or heard of.
Just as everyone was looking at the stone wall intently, a hand was gently placed on Nie Yu's shoulder, at first Nie Yu didn't care much, he thought who was calling him.
However, when he was about to turn his head, he saw a picture that he would never forget for the rest of his life, a dry hand like a twig was on his shoulder, and it was still stained with red and green liquid, exactly the same as the liquid on the corpse just now.
Nie Yu didn't dare to look back for a moment, nor did he dare to make a sound, but slowly moved his eyes and looked at the location of Zhang Jiong's corpse.
Because, Zhang Jiong's body turned out to be gone.
