Chapter 26 Zombies

At this time, in the team of four, only one torch in the hands of the old sheepskin was left to illuminate, he walked in the middle with a torch, I found that the old sheepskin was much more energetic than before, maybe it was not because he ate too much fish, I think he shot in the incineration room to save Ding Sitian, although this matter is just between gestures, in exchange for me and the fat man to shoot this shot will not even blink an eye, but for the old sheepskin, it is equivalent to him defeating himself, but also untying the dead knot in his heart, it was because he was cowardly for a while, did not save his brother, I'm afraid I've been living in the shadow of that all these years.

I thought about the ups and downs of thoughts, thinking about the old sheepskin, and thinking about the abnormal situations near the crematorium, while following the crowd forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and inadvertently glanced at the wall, the fat man walked in front with a Kangxi long knife, and then the old sheepskin that held the fire for lighting, followed by Ding Sitian, I walked at the end, the four of them were in a line formation, walking very compactly, because the cement pipe of the gutter was very narrow, so the firelight appeared much brighter than in the basement, and our figures were clearly reflected on the curved cement wall, As the four of them walked, the figures on the wall also swayed and undulated, but I found that there were not only four figures on the concrete wall, and I don't know when there was an extra dark shadow behind me.

The shadow followed us silently, just at the edge of the range of the firelight, as the old sheepskin moved, the torch was driven by the air flow to flicker and dark, and the last black shadow also appeared and disappeared from time to time, I felt that the scalp was numb, the heart was not good, I was afraid of something, this was the ghost in the incineration room who followed out unabated, I didn't dare to make a noise, slowed down slightly, and listened to the movement behind me, but in addition to a chill that penetrated my heart and lungs, there was still a little sound behind me.

I noticed that there was an extra shadow on the wall of the cement pipe, and I thought that this was really a torn pants and legs, and I followed here without a ghost, but I listened to the movement behind me. But there was no sound, as if there was nothing left behind the four of us, except for an extra ghost.

I did not dare to act rashly, but I wondered in my heart the intention of the ghost, and it obviously could not directly lead us to death, what is the reason for this? It is likely that the Kangxi treasure knife of the old sheepskin can really be evil. A weapon that has killed people in battle. With three points of ferocity, the more people you kill, the heavier the evil qi on the blade, although Emperor Kangxi drove the expedition in person, he may not go into battle to kill, but the royal forbidden thing is extraordinary, and the ghost may be a little afraid of this knife, which indirectly attacked us.

These thoughts flashed through my mind. But he didn't stop. I saw that the torch in the old sheepskin's hand was about to burn out. If we don't take advantage of the time when there is still light, it will be even more disadvantageous for us to delay any longer. Although I was terrified, I had to go back and see it clearly. If we don't completely get rid of the entanglement of the undead in this incineration room, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape.

I was surprised, turned around suddenly, full of thinking that I could see something, and then beckoned the fat man to draw a knife to exorcise the ghost, but unexpectedly pounced, only the long and dark drain pipe in front of me, not to mention the ghost, not even a tide insect, cockroach and other insects, the shadow on the wall disappeared almost the moment I turned around, leaving only the stinky air in the dark.

I looked into the depths of the drain, and my heart was pounding, and I could feel that in the invisible darkness, there were indeed two resentful eyes, and when I looked over there, I felt goosebumps all over my body, and a chill penetrated my chest, but by the light of a torch, we could do nothing.

I was hesitating, but the old sheepskin and the other three were frightened by the sudden movement of me just turned around, and thought that something had happened behind me, so they all stopped and looked back, they saw me staring straight at the black part of the drainage ditch in a daze, and thought that I was too frightened in the crematorium, and hurriedly pulled me to ask.

I thought to myself, "If you just found out that there is a ghost behind us, wouldn't you be alarmed?" It's better to say it for the time being, and just act when the opportunity arises. He only said to everyone: "I walked in this stinky ditch for a long time and didn't see an exit, so I couldn't help but be a little worried, so I stopped to check the terrain." ”

Ding Sitian comforted me and said: "This drainage pipe is long and deep, presumably there should be many building facilities on the ground in addition to the three-story building where the crematorium is hidden, in that case, there will always be other waterways connected to it, and the sewage will eventually converge in one place, let's keep walking, sooner or later we will see the exit." ”

I nodded yes, perseverance to the end is victory, from the morning to look for the cattle to begin, until now it has been past midnight, this day is really difficult and long, but can not find the exit, it is not time to relax, but also to be vigilant and continue to move forward, so I let the old sheepskin change a new torch lit, and asked the fat man to ask for a Kangxi knife, the four of them beat the spirit to continue to move forward, I still broke the back, pay attention to the movement behind me anytime and anywhere, but this way down, but there is no abnormality.

The speed of the torch consumption exceeded our expectations, and if we did not climb out of the stinky ditch, once there was no light, there was no hope of leaving here, we had to speed up the pace of movement, and we did not think that we would not go far, and we saw that a few meters in front of the filled cement pipe wall, it was blocked by an iron fence, the bottom of the iron fence was locked by a large lock, a mass of chains half fell into the water, the iron bars were the thickness of eggs, and there was a rectangular iron cover full of drainage holes above the head, but it was too narrow to drill out, and it was locked from above, It is impossible to push it away from the bottom, and when we see this situation, our hearts are immediately half cold, and this time it is over, and there is no way forward.

The old sheepskin squatted down and touched it in the black water under the iron grille, and suddenly said happily: "Don't worry, my knife is the royal treasure knife, after so many years, the steel mouth is still so sharp, although the iron bar is constantly cut, but the section of the iron chain held by the lock is soaked in muddy water, and it has rusted and discolored, so why is it difficult to cut it with a knife?" ”

When I heard this, my heart moved, and I also went to inspect the iron chain locked by the lock, there was no lock position on the iron grid, only there was a movable iron chain on the outside, maybe it was a temporary chain at the time, so it slipped to the bottom, and the section that fell into the muddy water has been rusted through, and the iron chain is much thinner than the iron grid, Kangxi Bao knife imitates the Mongolian long knife shape, it is a sharp weapon with a thick back and a heavy blade, although it can not be sharpened iron like mud, but it is not difficult to cut the iron chain full of rust, and quickly let the fat man and Ding Sitian hold the iron chain, and look at the knife to chop it. The rusty chain with thick fingers broke off the blade, and then looked at the blade, and there was no chipping.

Everyone praised the speed of the sword, and pushed open the iron fence together, and a few steps ahead, there was another cross passage, one of which was too narrow. On the other two sides, there is an iron gate that drains water. But it can be opened on our side, it seems that this is already a different area, after opening the largest iron door, I did not rush in, remembering the feeling of being locked in the incineration room not long ago, there is no way to enter the ground, and it is still terrifying, fortunately it is a crematorium and not a prison, otherwise even if there is a drain, it will definitely not be able to get in. Eat a trench. Long a wisdom. This time, the gate switch will be broken at the door, in case you can't get out in front. It's not a dead end.

We made sure several times that we would never be locked in before stepping inside. But then there is still a stinking ditch with no end to the pipe network, we feel that the drainage pipe grows without a head, in fact, it is likely to be an illusion, because the environment is rancid and narrow, the body is exhausted, and walking is extraordinarily slow, so it will produce this feeling, after a certain distance, the two sides of the pipe finally began to appear some narrower branch drains, but the diameter of these drainage pipes is only the size of a blue ball, only mice and cockroaches can get into, and there are a few narrow long house-shaped water leaks, They are all unrecognizable, and the outside of the pipes is all pitch black, so I can't see what the place is, and I don't think all areas have a drainage cover the size of an incineration room.

I walked at the end of the line, I didn't pay much attention to the changes in the terrain in the sewer, these were enough to Ding Sitian and others, I focused my attention on the back to prevent accidents, then Ding Sitian suddenly stopped in front of me, I was unprepared, almost hit her, I looked at it, it turned out that the fat man and the old sheepskin in front of me had stopped, I was just about to ask them what happened, but by the light of the torches in the team, I had already found out that there was a reason.

On the cement pipe wall very close to the fat man in front of the fat man, there is a pitch-black ring, almost the diameter of the water tank mouth, the shape of the ring line is in and out of the outside, and it is not regular, there is such a black circle on the gray-white cement wall under the firelight, which is particularly conspicuous, the fire light is flickering, only to see the black ring on the cement wall seems to be slightly wriggling, the fat man saw it at a glance, thought it was a black water snake curled up on the wall, and then stopped.

I thought to myself, it's hard to say whether there is a black ground in the water snake, let alone how can the water snake coil up and stick to the wall? Even if the snake is so long, it will not be so thin, and there is no mud earthworm here, but we are not mistaken, the black ring on the wall is not a mark of silt, it is indeed moving, although the range of action is very small, if you are not careful, you may be ignored, you will think that it is just a ring mark smeared with black mud.

This black ring caught our attention, and after seeing clearly that it was not a coiled circle of water snakes, the four of them took two steps closer, looked at the wall carefully, and couldn't help but shake their whole body, feeling that their scalps were all up, there was a gap in the cement wall, and all the cockroaches crawled out and crawled in, the small ones were not much bigger than sesame seeds, they were all small cockroaches that had just grown, and this annular crack was used as a nest by them, just around a circle, and if it was a little farther away in the dim light of the fire, it would definitely be thought that there was a wriggling black ring on the wall.

Ding Sitian looked disgusted, wanted to leave immediately, and continued to move forward to find an exit, I grabbed her and said: "The underground water road is similar to a labyrinth, we can't even identify the direction, and the torches are almost running out. ”

The fat man also said: "It must be like this, you can think of it with your ass, how easy is it to have such a regular shape on the cement pipe." He had long been in the stinking gutter, so he stopped looking closely, raised his foot, and kicked it hard in the middle of the cement ring-shaped crack, shaking countless small cockroaches in the crack one after another.

The cement wall is not too big, the annular gap is chiseled from the inside, so that the joints are not too tight and crawling with cockroaches, the cement block is kicked off by the fat man, the size of the cockroaches are running all over the wall, the old sheepskin hurriedly waved the torch to drive them away, behind the cement is a low passage dug by manpower, the internal ups and downs are very irregular, only the knees bow up, can climb in with great effort, I am curious, I want to exhaust the secret, so I took the torch and drilled into it, this tunnel is only seven or eight meters long, At the end, there is an exit covered with floor tiles. Pushing up to reveal it, I poked my head out to look, and the exit was under the bed in a room with a lot of things in the room.

Ding Sitian and others beckoned me to come out quickly, I was afraid that she would worry, so I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I had to climb backwards out of the tunnel first. and told them what he had seen. After walking in the stinking ditch for a long time, everyone felt suffocated and nauseous, and was about to be smoked to death, and since there was a passage into a house, it was impossible to go in first to breathe, and there seemed to be many things in the room that could be used, and perhaps food and lighting tools could be found, so that there was a little more hope of survival.

Everyone agreed at the moment. It was I who climbed in first. When it started. I thought it was a prison cell, and there was a gap in the sewer. It was the escape site of the people who were being held inside, but when I peeked out from under the bed. I denied my judgment, the prison cell will never be like this, I lifted the floor tiles and beds above my head, and pulled the other three people up one by one, everyone raised the fire and looked around, they all felt very surprised, although it is a basement, but it is obviously equipped with a good ventilation hole, air circulation, there is no feeling of stuffiness in the chest at all, the room is a typical European style layout, and there is even a decorative fireplace, although in the room, it makes people have the illusion of being in a foreign land, here there are all kinds of daily necessities, There were shelves full of books on the walls, but the electrical circuits had long since been cut off, and the lights were no longer available.

Ding Entian saw that there was a decorative candlestick in the house, and there were a few intact candles on it, so he went over and picked it up and took the fire on the torch, and then held the candlestick and looked around curiously, and unconsciously walked into the outhouse, and the fat man saw that there were a few bottles of foreign wine on the shelf, and he happened to be thirsty, so he copied it and poured a few mouthfuls, and the old sheepskin had never seen the world, and he didn't know what the fat man was drinking, so he asked me what was in the glass bottle.

I was just about to answer, but I heard Ding Sitian, who had already walked to the outer room, exclaimed, the three of us hurriedly rushed over to answer when we heard the sound, Ding Sitian saw us arrive, and quickly hid behind me in horror, we didn't need to ask to know what horror she had seen, and took the candlestick to this room to shine, but also startled.

The fat man still had half a mouthful of foreign wine in his mouth and didn't have time to swallow it, and he squirted out all the wine in one gulp: "How can there be a dead monkey here?" The old sheepskin said in a trembling voice: "Don't talk nonsense, where is this monkey, there are most such things in the deserted grave in my hometown in Shaanxi, this is ............ Be............ Yes, yes............" He was also panicked at this time, and in the end, he couldn't come out with "yes".

I saw a tall male corpse sitting on the wooden chair in the outhouse, the corpse was wearing a nightgown, the body had no water, it had become a zombie, a layer of white hair like bird feathers grew on the purple dead skin, and the lower body was full of animal hair, and the curly and sharp nails were constantly growing, and they had been bent, and their facial features were hideous, and they were dead with their mouths open, and their appearance was unrecognizable because of the growth of corpse hair after death.

I said for the old sheepskin: "It's a zombie, no one should touch it, and if the living don't touch it, it won't be a corpse." The fat man didn't believe it: "How do you know it's a zombie?" Can you jump up just by touching it? You want to scare me again, don't you? ”

I only paid attention to the strange corpse in front of me, deaf to the fat man's life, I had never seen a zombie before, but it was said to be like this, in the candlelight I saw that on the desk in front of the zombie, there were a few yellowed papers full of words, maybe those papers were written by the dead corpse, maybe it would help us to escape from here, so I gave the candlestick to the fat man, let him hold the light, I covered my mouth and nose and carefully walked to the corpse, reached out and picked up the papers, and then quickly retreated.

I asked the fat man and the old sheepskin to keep an eye on the dead body and the candle, and as soon as there was any abnormality, I quickly retreated to the sewer, and then lifted the yellowed page to see that it was densely packed with Russian, my Russian level was too low, so I had to let Ding Sitian see what was written, and whether there was valuable information in it?

Ding Sitian quickly flipped through a few pages, casually translated a few sentences for us, the more I listened, the more thrilling I became, it turned out that this was a Russian scientist who was under house arrest by the Japanese, forced to participate in an operation in this secret facility, these letters were his suicide note, the suicide note mentioned many unimaginable facts, the Japanese army dug out some incredible things from this hundred eyes hole.

Ding Sitian's Russian has not been picked up for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will be rusty when she is temporarily cramming, and it will be a little difficult to read this suicide note, I asked her not to worry, sit in the back room and read it slowly, and then tell me the details of the content, and then I discussed with the fat man and the old sheepskin, the condition of this zombie after death is too strange, and there will be trouble after leaving it, let's want to rest here for a while, and it is difficult to feel at ease when guarding a dead person, so we simply don't do it, don't stop, and dispose of the body first.
