Chapter 11: The Great Cave

The fat man's feet were soaked in the water, and he listened to the sound of a conversation in the grass not far behind him: "The traces of that thing's activity are becoming more and more obvious." I'm afraid this base won't last long. "This is an unfamiliar voice, for the part of the people who appeared in the base later, in fact, those of us who were soldiers are very unfamiliar with their voices, because this group of people gives people a very proud feeling, and rarely talks to us, in contrast, the fat man is more familiar with the voice of the bald man because he has been picked on by the bald man a few times.

"Well, the operation is about to begin, I don't know if we can successfully retreat." It's the voice of a bald man.

The fat man's heart moved, but he didn't dare to make a sound, what action did his heart say? What traces?

Then, the unfamiliar voice added: "If the snake is really lured out of the hole this time, I'm afraid that more than half of the soldiers here will be killed or wounded." ”

The bald man sighed and said, "There is no way, sacrifice is always inevitable, what we can do is to minimize casualties." As they spoke, there was a rustling sound in the grass, as if they were walking away. The fat man was shocked by these few words of dialogue and broke out in a cold sweat, what does it mean that more than half of the dead and injured are killed? What does it mean that sacrifice is always inevitable? What does it mean to lure a snake out of a hole? With what citation?

I was also shocked, what exactly are you going to deal with? Why are more than half of the casualties? I've been here for two years, and except for the female dispatcher who died, there haven't been any major accidents, so when I suddenly heard the fat man say this, my heart suddenly felt bottomless, but I was helpless.

After this incident, the base was still calm, but our convoy suddenly became busy with its mission and began to deliver something strange. The thing was wrapped in a white rainproof cloth on the outside, and the inside was a hard sponge, about two meters long and half a meter wide, very heavy, packed one by one, four or five at a time, and finally piled up in the basement of the base.

At first we didn't know what these things were, but once, during transportation, due to the heavy rain the day before, the road surface was full of rocks and the driving was bumpy. Half of one of them fell out of the car and hit the road, breaking a corner of the side of the road.

I looked through the gap and saw black wood, and it was lacquered wood, and combined with the specifications of the whole object, I immediately realized what was inside: a coffin.

Black coffin.

Could it be that the coffins that we have transported to the basement all this time?

What's inside these coffins? Corpse?

It's not that I haven't seen corpses, but when I think of this stubble, I still feel that my heart is hairy, it turns out that the things I used to transport in the middle of the night are all dead people, I sat in front of the car, and the coffins of dead people were stacked in the back, how to think about how mad.

But I knew that since it was sealed, I didn't want us to know about it, so I pushed the coffin back onto the cart and transported it to the base again, pretending not to know.

Since then, there have been several more shipments.

Until one day, I received another task, and the company called a liberation truck to let me transport things, this time not only me, but also the bald man and a dozen comrades with guns. The coffins, still wrapped in tarpaulins, were loaded onto large trucks, as many as thirty of them, and our destination this time was to the rear of the base.

It was a deeper location in the grassland, there was no road, the car could not enter, and only this kind of big truck could drive inside, and the driver with poor technology came, and it was easy to have an accident.

It's no wonder they're looking for me, I joined the army at the age of nineteen, and I was engaged in transportation at the age of twenty, and it's been four years now, and I have nothing to say about technology.

We were accompanied by a small car, with only the driver on it, and the rest of the place was empty, and I don't know what it was used for.

The car drove forward for about half an hour, and the bald man said to the ground, and then asked the dozen or so fighters to unload the things from the car, but they didn't let me move. Suddenly, the car was empty. The bald man asked me to drive the big truck back by myself, and as for the small car, I would be responsible for delivering the rest of the people when the time came.

I knew that what was going to happen next should not be something I was qualified to know, so I drove back to the base by myself.

When it was almost dark, the car came back with everyone, and as for the coffins, they were naturally gone.

I wondered what to do with the coffins.

Two days later, I saw Ah Biao, Ah Biao's full name is Lin Biao, I only met after I came to this base, and he was one of the escorts that day. He is a very bold person, and he is relatively horizontal, but I observed for two days and found that Ah Biao has been very wrong since he came back from that escort, and he is absent-minded in what he does, and from time to time he looks outside the base, as if he is looking at something. I inadvertently slapped him in the back, originally to ask him if something had happened at home, but his reaction was beyond my expectations, only to see him hold his head suddenly, and suddenly jumped to the corner of the wall in fright.

After seeing that it was me, Ah Biao's expression was also very embarrassed, and he was angry, saying that I had nothing to do to scare him. I feel wronged, so I'll shoot you, as for such an exaggeration? Could it be that Ah Biao was frightened by something?

I looked around and saw that there was no one around, so I asked Ah Biao if something was wrong? Don't hold back if something happens, everyone is a comrade-in-arms, and we will always think of a way for you. Ah Biao didn't want to say more, but his face was very strange, and he turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he stepped back and said to me: "If you have the opportunity to leave this base, you should try to leave this place as soon as possible...... This place will kill people, I can't sue you too much, you can do it yourself. ”

This made me feel a wake-up call: What did he mean by that? I immediately said, "Let's be soldiers, and we don't work in the company, so we can resign if we want to." Seeing that there was no one around, I lowered my voice and said, "I can see that something is wrong, but we are soldiers, even if we want to leave, we are deserters." If you really want to be good for me, just tell me what's the matter, and I'll be prepared. ”

Ah Biao heard me say this, but he didn't buy it, shook his head and left. In the next few days, I would escort the same things and the amount of things escorted each time, and I still unloaded the things in that old place, and then I drove back to the base first.

There are several transport drivers in the base, I don't know if they have noticed anything abnormal, those are all veterans, who have been in the army for more than ten years, and their mouths are very slippery, and they can't show any tone in conversation.

It wasn't that long ago that the change happened.

One of the drivers we called Lao Xu, went outside to do a task, this time it was not to transport supplies, nor to transport coffins, but what was transported, Lao Xu was secretive, and the rest of us couldn't tell the doorway.

But Lao Xu didn't come back.

He's missing.

On that day, everyone went out to look for it, but the area of this grassland was too large, and when it was almost night, we still returned to the base according to the rules of the troops not going out at night and not turning on the lights. That night, people's hearts fluctuated, and there was a kind of high pressure in the whole base, and this pressure came from everyone's unknown.

At least most of us who come here don't know the details of this base. We don't know what it's for, we don't know what it's for, we don't know what it's going to be shipped to, we don't understand what the power grid is used for, and we don't understand why we can't see light at night.

One qiē, like a huge fog, will be very depressing for all the unwitting people, including me.

While looking for the driver in the field, Ah Biao and I accidentally met, and since it was a decentralized search, there were only two of us around. At this time, Ah Biao suddenly stopped me and said, "Run." ”

I said, "Run?" ”

Ah Biao nodded and said, "I think something will happen in the next two days." ”

I felt a little angry in my heart, and lowered my voice and said, "Can you make it clear, what exactly are you trying to hide?" ”

Ah Biao swallowed his saliva and said, "Do you know what we saw after you left that day?" ”

He continued, "A big hole. ”

There was a large hole overgrown with grass, about 10 meters in diameter, and rainwater and soil were deposited along the hole, making the inside and outside of the cave overgrown with grass.

The bald man asked everyone to unpack it, and at this time, the soldiers who escorted it realized that they were transporting a coffin. Immediately afterwards, the bald man observed for a while, and he didn't know what he was looking at, when a young man beside him suddenly said, "There is movement." In fact, Ah Biao didn't hear any movement except the wind.

Then the bald man gave the order to push all these coffins into the hole.

Ah Biao and the others mainly obeyed the order, and they pushed the coffin down. A heavy coffin rolled down the hole, flattening all the dense weeds below, the pitch-black body was rolling, the coffin lid was also broken, and a corpse wrapped in a white cloth rolled out of the coffin.

The corpse was thrown out of the coffin with this tumbling force, and the moment it flew out, a black thing reached out of the grass and grabbed the flying corpse violently.

It was a human hand, a very long, but very thin human hand, to be exact. That hand was really indescribably weird, the surface was dry and greasy, and it was long sticking out of the grass, not to mention the terrifying energy.

Immediately afterwards, the corpse was pulled deep into the grass, and everyone suddenly heard a clicking sound from the hole overgrown with weeds, as if something was gnawing at the bones.

Could it be that thing, eating corpses?

At this time, the bald man looked at the sky and ordered a retreat, and the remaining coffin was placed on the edge of the cave. After coming back, Ah Biao kept thinking about the things in the cave, and always felt like a human being, but not a human being.

It turns out that there have been a lot of corpses hidden in this base.

Where did these bodies come from? What are they used for? What's in the pit?

After a few days of torture by these problems, the second escort mission began, and when they arrived at the place, they found that the lid of the coffin that had been placed at the entrance of the cave had been completely opened, and the corpses inside were gone, to be exact, only some chewed scraps of meat and white cloth remained.
