The twelfth black monster
The man's body seemed to fall apart, and when Peanut grabbed him, his whole body was like a puppet, and his limbs and head hung down uncontrollably.
We looked around and saw that this man was covered with willow and willow, black slime. As soon as a few people went up, they choked on the smell on his body.
"Damn, what does this smell like, it's so disgusting." The fat man pinched his nostrils and said in a weird way.
I also felt uncomfortable, because I had never smelled such a stinky smell since I was a child. But don't say it, although this smell is stinky, it is not good at all, and it is estimated that in the stink world, it can be regarded as a first-class aging.
Peanut sniffed the man's pulse, "Not dead yet." ”
But no matter what we called, the man didn't wake up.
"Master, what should I do?" Qin Feng asked.
Daddy thought for a moment and said, "Well, you and Little Buck take this person back first and get him to the car." ”
"Nope." Peanut suddenly said, "You can't go any further, the things on him are too weird, something big must have happened to that mountaineering base camp, now you all go back." ”
Peanut's unmistakable tone surprised us a little, tougher than my father's. After saying that, he didn't wait for my father to express his position, and asked Tuhti: "Are there any other ways up the mountain?" ”
"Yes, yes, but it's all on two legs." Tuhti said.
"Okay, you take everyone down that road, and in any case, you must bypass the base camp for mountaineering." After Peanut finished speaking, he shoved the man into the fat man's arms, and seemed to be ready to leave.
Just when Peanut was about to take the risk alone, and Daddy couldn't make up his mind, suddenly, the man we rescued spoke up.
"The convoy is a soldier, ghost. Ghosts"
The man's eyes were still closed, as if he was talking in a dream. Peanut turned around, looked at him for a moment, and then lifted him to his feet again.
The man was excited, and then opened his eyes. He looked frightened and dazed, and then yelled at us as if we were going to kill him.
Qin Feng went up and "snapped", and gave him a slap in the face. The man's face hurt, and then he stopped, but what he didn't expect was. He then laughed again.
"What the hell is wrong with you, what's going on at the base camp?" I'll see how he reacts.
All of a sudden, the man cried again.
"Well, finally, I'm saved. Wow, oh my god," cried and shouted. He sat down on the snow.
I looked at the fat man. Because the person in front of him actually said the Beijing accent. Tohti brought him water, and after drinking a jug, he stopped a little.
The man didn't have much clothes on him, and he was squatting there shivering, so Daddy gave him a coat before asking him what had happened to him.
But that's the question. The man hesitated to speak. Looking at his eyes and demeanor, I also don't think he is the kind of scholar with a literary temperament, but I think that this person seems to have no culture. He also had several studs on his ears and a few tattoos under his neck. How do you look like a crazy boy?
The fat man also saw it, stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Okay, buddy, just tell me what happened above." ”
The man thought about it for a moment before finally telling us what had happened to him.
His personal surname is Zhu, and the people around him call him Zhu Er, he said that he was helping people with chores, and this time someone paid a lot of money, saying that he wanted to come to Qiaoge Li Peak to have fun, and Zhu Er became that person's bodyguard with a group of brothers. Along the way, Zhu Er didn't know anything, and everything was decided by the person who hired them. They had been here for a few days, but the man seemed to have no purpose, and he looked at the peak in the base camp in the heavy snow all day long, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
Just seven or eight hours ago, just as it was getting dark, a convoy suddenly entered the camp. Everyone ran outside the tent to look. However, after all the cars stopped, there was no movement, and no one got out of the dozen or so green cars. Everyone thought it was strange and ran around the car and went inside. The sight was terrible, and the people were terrified, there was nothing in the car, not even in the driver's seat.
Fortunately, there are more than a dozen people in the base camp, otherwise, they will definitely have to be scared. So everyone got into those big green trucks to see what was going on in the cars. Zhu Er also went up. He rummaged through the driver's seat of a truck, but found only a military kettle and an old notebook. Zhu Er was about to flip through the notebook, when his eyes suddenly saw a figure moving outside the car window.
Turning his head, Zhu Er was so frightened that he almost rolled out of the driver's seat. I saw that in the mountaineering base camp, I don't know when, an army of hundreds of people was standing there in a neat line. Those who were soldiers all looked at Zhu Er, their faces were snow-white, and even their eyes were white.
Zhu Er exclaimed, and immediately after, the others also saw it.
Just as everyone was about to get out of the car, Zhu Er was suddenly pressed to the ground by something. When I reacted, I was no longer in the car, but lying in the snow. When he stood up, he found that everyone else was dead, lying on the ground with their bodies a strange white color.
Where did Zhu Er encounter such an outrageous thing, and he was about to flee, but he saw that under the corpses of his companions, something moved again. Just as he was hesitating to go over and take a look, something crawled out from under the corpse
Zhu Er looked into the distance with fear in his eyes, "Those black things are like puddles of mud, they keep crawling towards me, I don't have a chance to drive a car, so I just ran down the mountain." ”
The fat man and Qin Feng and I couldn't help but look at each other. God, isn't this something similar to what we experienced on the shores of Lake Ka before?
"Are you sure those people are dead?" Daddy asked.
Zhu Er nodded fiercely, "I can't die anymore, but it's very strange, they, their corpses are as if they have been in the snow for a long time, and they are all frozen." I, I didn't dare to look at it more, so I don't know what's going on. ”
Daddy turned to the side and muttered, "It's really weird. ”
I suddenly discovered something. Then he turned his head and swept it, "Eh, where are the peanuts?" ”
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously began to look around. But peanuts were nowhere to be found.
"He's up the mountain." Buck said, pointing to the front of the road.
The fat man pursed his lips, "You kid, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
I said in my heart that Peanut definitely didn't have any team concept in his head, so I said to Daddy: "Dad, Zhu Er said it so outrageously, there must be danger there, can Peanut do it alone?" ”
Daddy snorted. "He should be fine, at least come back alive for sure." After thinking about it, Daddy seemed to have made a decision, so according to the previous arrangement, he asked Qin Feng and Buck to take Zhu Er back. I, the fat man, Daddy and Tuhti were left to chase peanuts together.
According to Zhu Er, the people in the base camp should have died seven or eight hours ago. But we saw a distress signal again. Suggesting that there may be survivors there. Of course, this is not Daddy's main purpose, in his opinion, we may also encounter the danger encountered by Zhu Er's gang in the future, if we go to see it first, maybe we can know what Lu Dao is. Again. Daddy should also see that the people in the base camp now are not ordinary mountaineering teams or scientific researchers. Daddy is also a little interested in the person who paid for Zhu Er and them to go to Qiaogeli Peak.
Because I have been walking along the road, the road has been relatively smooth. Apart from being tired, we didn't encounter any danger. Only occasionally, I would suddenly hear a burst of birds chirping and look up, but I couldn't see anything.
By the time we saw the lights of the base camp, it was already dark. I was tired and panting, but I was surprised to find that my physical strength had really grown a lot, and I would definitely lie down halfway before I had to put it aside.
Tohti told us that there are several base camps for climbing on Chogori Peak, and we are now at the East Base Camp.
The camp was chosen in a relatively flat place, against the cliff rather than the mountain. When we came up, we saw several large tents, and there were several buggies and a van next to them.
Originally, the four of us planned to lurk on the edge of the camp to see the situation first, but after another glance, we saw peanuts standing motionless in the middle of the camp.
I don't know when he arrived, Peanut looked at something on the ground, and seemed to be in a daze. The camp's headlights were on, so we turned off our flashlights and ran along. But after a few steps, we all slowed down.
The old man of Tohti suddenly knelt down in front of him, raised his hands to the sky, cried and began to chant something in the local language, and then prostrated again and again.
Just like Zhu Er told us, there were corpses everywhere in the camp, they were covered in ice and snow, and their limbs still maintained the most reluctant movements before they died, looking at the big black sky before dawn.
Peanut looked at the corpse silently, squinting his eyes. I walked up and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
Peanut didn't seem to hear anything, still looking into the eyes of the dead body.
The fat man didn't look much at the dead people. The attraction of the corpse to the fat man was directly proportional to the number of artifacts on it, and after a few glances, the fat man began to burrow into the tents, wanting to see if anyone was still alive.
The cold mountain breeze blew, and when I felt the coolness, I knew that the chances of there being survivors here were already very low. Daddy walked among the corpses, reaching out to turn one over when Tohti stopped him.
"Guest, I'd better come." Tuhti said with a sad face.
I don't know what the local customs are like, but Tohti clearly doesn't want the bodies of these people to be left like this. Zhu Er said that something crawled out from the back of the corpse, so Daddy planned to check it. Tuhti wanted to move the corpse, but Daddy didn't say anything.
This old Tajik man doesn't know how many times he has seen such a scene, and his movements are very skillful. He lifted the corpse's head and pulled it back by the shoulders. But pulling and pulling, Tuhti's face changed.
He stopped suddenly, looked at the corpse's face with a frown, and then slowly put his hand on the corpse's chest, "Ah! Immediately after, Tohti screamed and fell to the ground.
"He, he, he's not dead!" Tuhti pointed to the corpse and shouted.
Daddy and I were stunned, and then Daddy ran up and put his hand on the corpse's chest. Daddy frowned, "And the heartbeat." ”
I couldn't help but get a little excited, "So how are we going to save him?" ”
"Impossible. His body was completely stiff, why was his heartbeat still at a normal level? ”
Listening to Daddy's suspicions, I also reached out to probe the corpse. For a moment, the coldness made me think that this person could not be alive, but then, the steady heartbeat negated my thoughts.
Daddy stood up, walked to the other corpse, reached out and touched it, and then, he looked at all the corpses one by one, and said with a blank face: "Dog." Why didn't you die? ”
We should have been glad that these people still had a heartbeat, but now, everyone's faces are even more ugly. I looked at Peanut again and finally understood. He was staring into the corpse's eyes all the time. Such a thing is incredible.
As long as the body temperature of the human body is low to a certain level, let alone more than ten hours. Ten minutes may be dead. Not to mention the heartbeat. But right before our eyes, such an extraordinary thing happened to these nearly twenty people.
Their bodies are warmer than the snow on the ground, but what is it that keeps these people's hearts beating?
The fat man came out of the tent and was shocked to hear this. But we didn't stand still, and since these people still had a heartbeat, we couldn't ignore them. Thereupon. With the exception of Peanuts, everyone was busy moving them into their tents.
After we were exhausted, Daddy told us to rest in another tent and eat something.
When you want to enter the tent. I saw Peanut walk to the edge of the camp. There was a cliff beneath his feet, and I chuckled in my heart and ran over.
"What are you doing?" I reached for him, but Peanut didn't move. It was then that I noticed that Peanut was smiling and looking at the whites of Chogori Peak.
I was taken aback by the smile on his face. This is different from the pretending and handsome laugh that Peanut used to have. He smiled so happily that he was like a child.
"You're not crazy, are you?" I asked again.
Without saying anything, he turned his head and walked towards the tent. I scratched my head inexplicably, and said in my heart, did this person suddenly understand the true meaning of life?
When we walked into the tent, we found that it was very well stocked, with food and drinking water piled high.
"If we knew that Lu Dao was like this, we wouldn't have to carry so many things before." The fat man had already torn open people's jerky, "I think we'll eat and drink here, then sleep well, replenish our equipment, and leave tomorrow." ”
"You forgot what happened to those people outside, what if those things come again at night?" I said.
The fat man snorted, "Don't talk about that, let's look at your own legs first." ”
I looked down in a daze, only to realize that my legs were trembling unwillingly.
Daddy smiled, "Cao Jia's Ah Jin is right, we have to rest, but we have to leave here before night." Hey, I just can't figure out how those people survived. ”
"It must be blessed by the gods." Tuhti said immediately.
We pretend that we don't hear anything. Tomb robbers are like this, believe in ghosts and don't believe in gods, especially if the gods want to bless us who dig graves, then why do we need black donkey hooves.
After eating something, my legs quieted down, and when everyone was smoking, I asked, "Who do you think was sending the distress signal at that time?" ”
The fat man gave me a blank look, "What are you thinking about again, maybe after the pig's head ran away, there was still someone who could move, so he lit the distress lamp and thought about it, no wonder you have a bad brain." ”
I squeezed the fat man for no reason, and I don't know what to say to deal with it. Daddy's old thing didn't help me, and after listening to it, he knew that he was quacking and laughing. I was so angry that I closed my eyes and simply went to sleep.
Everyone is tired enough, anyway, it's just dawn now, and Qin Feng and Aman will come over later, so it didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep in the tent.
I slept a little strangely, very deeply, but it wasn't the feeling of sleeping soundly. I even wondered if I was asleep, and I could still hear the movement around me and the wind outside, as if it was snowing.
What made me even more strange was that I heard someone calling me.
"Sir! Sir! Dead fat"
It was Qin Feng, his voice was very anxious, as if something had happened. My mind woke up and I wanted to sit up with my eyes open, but I couldn't move at all. At this moment, a force slammed into my face, and I was completely awakened at once.
The moment I opened my eyes, my mind was almost confused. "Remember me, this, this is the tent we just went to?"
In front of him, the tent was halfway off, and the ground was in shambles, and everything was covered in snow and something black.
"What are you doing sitting stupidly! Get up! The fat man's big face suddenly came to me, and as he spoke, he grabbed me from the ground.
He picked me up and rushed forward. After taking a look, I saw that Daddy and Qin Feng were standing in front of a black thing, both of them holding guns in their hands, and Qin Feng was changing magazines there.
The pitch-black thing looked like a big crocodile, lying on the ground, looking around at the person in front of him. Every time it moved, something black would fall off its body, and the smell was the same as that on Zhu Er's body, and the stench was incomparable.
Daddy shot the thing one by one, but apart from splashing a layer of black mud, it seemed that the bullet couldn't hurt the thing at all.
"Buck, don't move."
I turned my head and saw that Tohti was holding Buck, and the kid seemed to want to rush forward, but they were facing in the other direction. When I looked into their eyes, I saw that in front of the row of cars, Peanut and Fat Man were surrounded by three black monsters, one of which was already half missing, and Peanut's body was almost covered in black mud.
A black mud monster rushed towards the two of them, its movements were very strange, its head and tail swaying left and right, but it was also extremely fast, and I realized that it was sliding on the snow. As they approached the two of them, the thing suddenly leaned back.
Immediately, I saw two rows of snow-white fangs expand from the monster's belly, and in an instant, the size of the thing had increased by at least two times. With this mouthful, he could almost wrap the fat man and peanuts, and at the same time, the other two monsters also forced up from behind.
"Little brother! You take care of the back! The fat man shouted, then picked up an iron rod in his hand and rushed towards the thing.
The monster with its big mouth simply smashed its body down at this time, and the fat man was covered by its shadow at once. I saw the fat man with the iron rod across his head, and he seemed to be trying to use his arm strength to force the monster down.
That thing is three times the size of a fat man, can he handle it?
"Wow!" A layer of black mud sprinkled on the fat man, and he really carried it.
In order to resist this, the fat man knelt directly on the ground with one knee, and his arm was trembling. Peanut didn't pay attention to the two behind him, but quickly rushed into the monster's mouth after the fat man took the blow. He put his hand on his waist and drew a short knife in the blink of an eye. Before I could even see what the dagger looked like, Peanut had already plunged the blade into the monster's mouth.
The magic of this time was that the monster couldn't close its mouth, and after the peanut had finished stabbing it, it retreated from its mouth with ease. (To be continued......)
