Chapter 125: Strange Birds with Human Faces
I was startled, and the flashlight immediately shone through, but the eyes that were peeping in the dark disappeared in an instant.
"What's that?" I blurted out, but the two of them didn't seem to notice those eyes, He Xiaochen looked at the dried corpse with a stern expression and said, "It's normal for there to be burials in the mausoleum, but it's impossible to hang people on the gate in this way, it seems that I'm afraid there were still people who came in before us." β
I glanced at her and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense, your master has come in before, and I believe that there must be more than one master like your master in this world." β
She suddenly smiled at me: "Of course, I am too." β
I was speechless for a moment, dare she think I'm praising her?
"It doesn't seem that this man has been dead for long, and," Zhang Ye said suddenly, and at the same time, with a wave of his hand, the flying knife slashed the rope that hung the dried corpse, and the dried corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
I don't think about the peeping eyes for the time being, maybe I'm dazzled, maybe it's the reflection of the flashlight, otherwise it is impossible for an old Jianghu like Zhang Ye not to find it.
The dry corpse was lying there on its back facing the sky, and we shone a flashlight on the dry corpse at the same time, and found that this was really not an ancient dried corpse, because this corpse was clearly wearing a modern mountaineering suit, and a small submachine gun was hanging on its chest, and its limbs were curled up, and its face had the characteristics of a dry corpse, but what was even more terrifying was that a pair of eyes of this person were gone, and there was only a pair of black holes left on his face, his mouth was wide open, and his expression was painfully distorted, obviously after a struggle before he died.
Zhang Ye's flashlight moved down from the corpse's face, and suddenly reached out and ripped open the corpse's neckline, which was already broken, and an extremely deep wound appeared on the corpse's neck, obviously, this was the person's fatal wound.
"Huh?" Zhang Ye's flashlight stopped, and he reached out and tore off a nameplate at the neckline of the corpse, I went up to take a look, and suddenly my heart sank, the nameplate turned out to be the kind of dark green nameplate we had seen in the Black Water Demon Cave, marked with a few Russian letters, under the light of the flashlight, it was so dazzling.
I couldn't help but gasp, I couldn't imagine that this mysterious organization had actually entered this place, what was their origin?
Zhang Ye looked down and said, "It is estimated that the time of death is about ten years, maybe longer." β
"How do you tell?" I've also been observing this corpse, but I didn't see anything, Zhang Ye casually took off the gun that the man hung on his chest, fiddled with it twice and said: "This gun is not bad, American M4 carbine, it looks like it can still be used, it just so happens that Lao Tzu didn't bring a gun this time, I just don't know if there are bullets." β
He reached out and touched the corpse for a long time, found a few magazines, and couldn't help laughing: "This time I can finally get rid of those old things, and this trip has a good harvest." β
He was more interested in weapons, but I was more interested in the green nameplate, so I took it and looked at it, and wondered: "You say, these people are running around and always bumping into us, what does this mean, and since this person is dead, who is still hanging him up?" β
"No matter what you do, I think it's nothing more than a transnational tomb robbery gang, the strength should be relatively strong, it's nothing, you can see unlucky people dying in many ancient tombs." Zhang Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "We have seen more corpses of tomb robbers than we have seen zongzi, so it's not strange." β
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, casually loaded the magazine with his hand, and gestured around twice.
"Have you ever seen zongzi? I remember Ah Sheng before that he didn't say that there were actually no zombie dumplings in the ancient tomb? I asked suspiciously, Zhang Ye looked at me and said, "Do you believe what he said is true?" β
"Is it fake? Isn't he a geology expert?"
"Pull it down, do you think the expert's words can be believed? The fact is that wherever there may be zongzi, we don't take him with us at all, and he is only interested in this business, in fact, he has not been to the grave a few times. β
Zhang Ye said lightly, I couldn't help but think of the dried corpses running around the ground in the Black Water Demon Cave, and the mandrill mutated by the red-haired zombies, and then I realized that I was too naΓ―ve at the beginning.
"Then if you encounter zombies, zongzi or something, how do you deal with it?" I suddenly became interested, and gave Zhang Ye an on-site interview, Zhang Ye hung the gun around his neck, looked around, and said, "How to deal with it?" Run, wherever there are zongzi, there is a problem with the tomb, and if you want to live, you can only run. β
Zhang Ye's words once again subverted my view of the tomb robbery industry, I thought he would be arrogant and say to me, if there is a zongzi appear, Lao Tzu will blow its head with a shot, or abolish it with a knife, but I didn't expect that his answer to me was to run.
"Hey, come and see what this is?"
He Xiaochen suddenly shouted next to her, she didn't seem to be very interested in the guns and zongzi we studied, I didn't know what I was doing this time, hearing her shout, we hurriedly walked over, and saw that she ran to the bottom of the dragon tower at some point, next to the gate, and was looking up at something in a daze.
"What's wrong?" I ran to her and looked up, and saw that there was a strange statue on the wall on the side of the gate where her flashlight was shining, about a meter high, and its whole body was jet black, like a small beast squatting there, with its head like a bird, slightly hanging its head, with four hooves, and its claws like hooks, clinging to the bulge on the wall, standing there very abruptly.
This statue is vivid, it is almost like a living thing, and on the body of this statue, there is actually a layer of dark red blood, which looks very strange and mysterious.
"How can there be a statue here?" After I saw this statue, I felt a little uncomfortable, He Xiaochen also said: "Yes, that's why I asked you to come and see, it stands to reason that this kind of dragon tower is very solemn, how can there be such a strange thing"
Zhang Ye suddenly dragged us, took a few steps back, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, I see that something is wrong with this thing, leave it alone for now, let's hurry up"
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the gate, but at this moment, I don't know if I was dazzled or what, the head of the statue seemed to move suddenly, I was startled, and before I could say anything, I saw that the statue opened its eyes violently, and a pair of dark green eyes stared at us!
"Ah" He Xiaochen exclaimed, although she had been in the grave since she was ten years old, the girl was timid by nature, and almost reflexively picked up the flashlight and smashed it on the statue's head.
The "statue" chirped, its mouth suddenly opened incredibly, and it bit the flashlight in its mouth, and at the same time, it spread out a pair of bat-like wings under its armpits, and jumped out violently and pounced on He Xiaochen.
This change happened almost instantly, and I immediately remembered that this was not a statue at all, this was clearly the black shadow in the samurai statue group just now!
Seeing that the monster pounced, He Xiaochen was unarmed, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, I couldn't take much care of it in my eagerness, rushed up to stop He Xiaochen in front of him, and slashed with a random swing of the knife.
There was a sudden mess in the darkness, and my knife seemed to be stabbed on the iron stone, when there was a loud bang, it didn't even stab in, and a pair of fleshy wings of the monster smashed into the face, I couldn't care much in the panic, turned around and hugged He Xiaochen and fell to the ground, shouting: "Get down"
A fierce wind rushed through my face, almost sweeping my head, and at that moment suddenly a gunshot rang out next to me, and the thing screamed, and its body tilted a little, but it soon flew up to the dragon tower, and its claws slashed at the city wall, and its mouth opened wide and viciously, and it kept screaming at us.
At this moment, there was a brief blank in my brain, and I actually forgot to press He Xiaochen under me, and suddenly felt a heavy blow to my stomach, and suddenly felt a pain, only then did I come back to my senses, and hurriedly turned over and stood up, He Xiaochen also quickly stood up, his hair was already a little unkempt, he turned over and took out a short sword from his bag, protected it on his chest, and then took out time to glare at me.
I couldn't help blushing, but I didn't care about saying anything, so I hurriedly moved closer to Zhang Ye with her, and at the same time stared at the monster, my heart sank.
At this time, the monster completely appeared, and on the bird-like head, there was actually a human-like face, with fierce eyes, a prominent mouth, and the boss who opened it, revealing the fangs of the forest inside, and the huge mouth like a black hole.
"Be careful, this thing's body is extremely hard, the knife can't cut in, his grandmother's, it looks like this thing is going to make a meritorious service today." Zhang Ye held a gun in his hand, the muzzle of the gun was slightly raised, and his eyes were also extremely fierce, staring at the monster's body.
"What is this?" My heart was pounding, and I asked with a short knife, Zhang Ye didn't even look back, and threw me three words: "I don't know." β
At the same time, the monster also happened to pounce, and a pair of fleshy wings spread out more than two meters wide, looking in the dark, it looked like a demonic ghost in the Yellow Spring of Hell.
My heart sank, what the hell is this place?
A series of deafening gunshots suddenly sounded in his ears, and the gun that Zhang Ye had just picked up in his hand had already spewed out fierce tongues of fire
