Chapter 35 Contact

In the darkness, I felt a cold hand, and I couldn't help but be so frightened that I quickly swam to the side, and finally retreated to the side.

I was shocked, and cursed secretly, saying that I thought I had escaped from danger, but I didn't expect that this terrible burial pit would not give me a chance to breathe at all, and the sudden change made me not know what to do. In a panic, I desperately searched for my flashlight, but after searching for a long time, I found nothing.

Fortunately, at this time, there were four or five more "bangs" not far from me, and Zhang Hefang and Binzi also came out of the water.

I heard Zhang Hefang's voice first, and he said, "Mr. Fan, where are you?" ”

It was so dark in the cave that we couldn't see each other at all. I said yes and said, "I'm here." ”

After a while, the light of two flashlights came out, and I saw Zhang Hefang and Binzi swimming towards me, followed by Xiao Xia and Bu Jin behind them.

"It's like an underground river." I said, because I could clearly feel that the black water here was not static, it was flowing, flowing farther and deeper, and we seemed to be in the middle of this dark river, and we could not see either the origin nor the end of the dark river.

Zhang Hefang and Binzi shone a flashlight on the surface of the river, and a very shocking picture appeared in front of us. I saw that the surface of this dark river was filled with countless wooden planks, and these planks floated down the dark river like bamboo rafts to the darkness in the distance. These wooden planks are arranged in a straight line, unhurried, and slowly moving forward.

To our great surprise, on top of these planks, without exception, there were corpses lying one after another. These corpses are different from the zombies we just saw, they are so well preserved that at first glance they look like sleeping people. Moreover, these people were all dressed in gray-blue burlap clothes, and they really looked a little like ancient wizards.

I'm curious, the air here seems to be circulating, and there is also a dark river here, and the humidity is very heavy, but if these corpses are all priests of the ancient Shu Kingdom, then these corpses have existed for thousands of years, and it is really incomprehensible that they can remain incorruptible in such an environment.

Zhang Hefang looked at these endless corpses and said, "Judging from their clothing, they are undoubtedly the priests of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and we have finally come to the inside of the burial pit." ”

At this time, Binzi and Xiao Xia swam back again, and boldly dragged back a wooden plank.

Binzi pointed to the wooden planks and said, "These planks should have undergone special treatment, first smeared with a layer of grease and other things, and then sealed with wax to preserve, so that they are not easy to rot under water." ”

I looked at the corpse on the board, slightly swollen in places, its skin was a faint purple-blue, and there seemed to be something shiny on its mouth and nose. Natsu has done some research on corpses, and told me that these corpses should be filled with mercury, and then some witch doctor's embalming treatment is done on the surface of the corpses, so that it is understandable that these corpses will not decompose.

The water under our feet is very deep, and none of us knows how far we have to go, so it is not a way to swim like this.

As I looked at the planks, I suddenly remembered that I had seen some TV programs about the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor before. It is said that after his death, Qin Shi Huang built a miniature map in his mausoleum like China, and made rivers, lakes and seas with mercury, and Qin Shi Huang's coffin swam back and forth among the mercury, patrolling his territory. Could it be that the ancient priests on these planks also had such thoughts? Of course, there is no territory of the ancient Shu Kingdom here, there is only one river, and we can only continue to move forward in the direction of the river.

After some discussion, a few of us made a bold decision. We swam to the middle of the river, saw a plank, pushed the corpse into the river, and then climbed up the plank and floated forward along the river, which not only saved us effort, but also gave us plenty of time to rest. What's more, God knows if there is anything that kills people under this dark water.

Soon, all five of us were sitting on a plank. We floated down the river, Zhang Hefang took out the anti-inflammatory medicine in his backpack to wipe the wound, and when he saw that my backpack was gone, he gave me some.

After we briefly treated the wounds, everyone began to worry about Bao Ye and his group. Could they be in the same situation as we are? If so, did they succeed in escaping?

Zhang Hefang took out the walkie-talkie and shook off the water inside, and this time, the noise in the walkie-talkie became louder. Zhang Hefang shouted twice at the walkie-talkie: "Bao! Bao! How are you doing? ”

There was a "hissing" sound on the walkie-talkie, and they didn't reply, did the walkie-talkie break?

Zhang Hefang tried several more times, but it didn't work, so he simply put down the walkie-talkie for the time being and concentrated on resting.

After a while, the channel gradually widened, and I thought that this dark river was most likely the underground water supply of Lake Kurosawa. Moreover, the friction between these planks and the sides of the river in the underground dark river, as well as the influence of the water flow, can actually drive normally and even turn in the river according to the established line.

After we turned a corner, we suddenly found that there were many caves eroded by flowing water on the rock walls on both sides, and we used a flashlight to shine into them, and found that in those caves there were all kinds of people sitting cross-legged, they were men and women, young and old, the only thing they had in common was that they were all lifelike, and the corpses were very well preserved. Compared to the corpses on the planks in the river, the corpses in the cave seem to have a higher status, as evidenced by their costumes. Sometimes, on both sides of the riverbank, you can see some old priests in gorgeous ancient costumes, sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, and they have a circle of oil lamps around them, as if they are performing a ritual, but the oil lamps have long since burned out.

I finally understood how scared the old python was when he saw that Lingmi. If Lingmi was really able to make a thousand years of dead corpses cheat corpses, then at this moment, I am afraid that we have already been torn apart by countless zombie priests, and my intuition tells me that zombie priests will be more difficult than those ordinary priests.

We drifted like this on the plank for nearly twenty minutes, and I was so exhausted that I almost fell asleep. However, at this moment, a murmur of radio waves suddenly sounded, echoing back and forth throughout the mountain.

Originally, everyone had relaxed and was ready to take a break, but the sound of this "hissing" walkie-talkie suddenly made our nerves tense again.

Zhang Hefang was overjoyed and said, "It's Ah Bao." ”

We listened carefully to what was going on in the walkie-talkie, but we found that the noise was too loud to hear what the other party was saying.

Zhang Hefang frowned, shook the walkie-talkie again, and knocked on his knee, this time the situation improved a little, but the noise was still very loud.

The first voice that came out of the walkie-talkie was not Bao Ye, but the old python, and we vaguely heard the old python talking with a little crying.

Immediately after, the old python's trembling voice came out of the walkie-talkie, "Boss! Boss! Can you hear me? ”

Zhang Hefang shouted: "Old python, I can hear what's going on over there, are you still in that stone room?" ”

With the noise of "whoosh", the old python shouted again: "Boss! Can you hear me...... Rushing...... You just get back to me. ”

Zhang Hefang was a little anxious, and shouted again: "I can hear you talking, you can continue." ”

However, apparently the walkie-talkie is now out of order, and the old python doesn't seem to be able to hear us at all, only listening to him complaining in a trembling voice: "I'm ...... Rushing...... What a broken brand, too bad...... Rushing...... Feed! …… Rushing...... Boss, hold him down...... Rushing...... Bao Ye, Bao Ye, don't be impulsive...... I'm an old python...... Rushing...... Stay away from me...... Liao ......"

We heard these voices intermittently, very incoherently, but we could still hear that something was going on on their side. What's even more disturbing is that from the meaning of the old python's words, it seems to be saying something about Bao Ye - Bao Ye, don't be impulsive, I'm the old python! Does this sentence mean that the person who attacked them was not a zombie, but a treasure? But how is this possible?

Zhang Hefang shouted twice more at the walkie-talkie, as the most reluctant attempt, but was stopped by Binzi. Zhang Hefang looked at him, and Bin Zi said softly: "Boss, don't make a sound." He said as he pointed his finger ahead.
