Volume 2 Eyes of the Deep Chapter 47 Deadly Slime
The second uncle judged correctly, the end of the robbery cave is really the location of the tomb wall. The space had been dug up so much that it was clear that the tomb walls had been smashed open, but now the place was completely sealed with broken masonry and a lot of earth.
Seeing this, I shone a flashlight, "It seems that those people at that time collapsed when they opened the tomb wall, so they will find another route." ”
The second uncle shook his head, he carefully looked at the situation around the end of the robbery cave, and then took a look at the broken bricks and stones, "It doesn't look like a natural collapse, but like using explosives." ”
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to check. Zhou Cheng was born in the military and knew a lot about things like explosives, so he checked it and confirmed the second uncle's statement.
Hearing this, Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and asked, "Why did they blow up the entrance to this tomb wall, is it to prevent anyone from entering again?" ”
Wen Mo, who had not spoken, suddenly shook his head: "No, the reason for blowing up this place should not be that you are afraid of people going in, but more like you are afraid that the things inside will come out!" ”
Wenmo's words made us shudder.
If that's the case, it's all about it. The original people were in danger here, so in order to prevent the contents from coming out, they blew up the exit, and then retreated back, and re-opened a robbery hole to the top of the tomb.
At this time, Zhou Cheng observed, in the cracks of those broken masonry, found some white powder-like objects, he put on gloves and lightly dipped some, twisted, but found that this thing was not actually in powder form, it became a gelatinous substance under a twist, and it was very sticky.
And then, the gelatinous substance on the gloves squirmed, as if boiling, Zhou Cheng was wearing a pair of leather gloves, seeing this situation, he hurriedly rubbed off the things on the gloves on the wall of the thief cave, despite this, the white gelatinous matter on the gloves was still peeled off a layer of skin.
Seeing this situation, we immediately thought of the corpse on the ground, the second uncle looked at Zhou Cheng's gloves, and then looked at the corpse on the ground, "Could it be that he died like this in the first place?" ”
"But," I said, pointing to the corpse on the ground, "to die like this, at least something white enough to soak a person up." I'm afraid it's not a good thing at all. ”
Zhou Cheng leaned down, shone a flashlight on the gap in the broken masonry where the white object was found, then leaned his head over, closed one eye, and looked inside through the gap with the flashlight.
He only looked at it for a moment, and then he suddenly fell backwards and sat down on the ground, throwing the flashlight in his hand aside. We were taken aback by his sudden situation.
Lantern Xiao hurriedly asked, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong with you?" What do you see? ”
At this time, Zhou Cheng's face was pale, looking straight at the gap, panting rapidly, unable to say a word.
Lantern Xiao also learned from Zhou Cheng's appearance just now, approached the gap, and planned to take a look at it in person, but who knew that Zhou Cheng was suddenly grabbed by Zhou Cheng, and waved his hand vigorously and said, "Don't, don't look at it!" ”
I also asked anxiously, "Brother Cheng, what did you see?" ”
Zhou Cheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I, I see, there is an eye that is also looking at me!" ”
"What!" All of us looked at the gap with solemn faces, "You can't be mistaken! ”
"Absolutely not! That eye even rolled a little! Although Zhou Cheng was still a little shocked, his tone of voice was very affirmative. I also think that with Zhou Cheng's psychological quality, he would not make such a mistake.
The second uncle looked at Zhou Cheng and asked, "Then is there a person or something else on the other side you see?" ”
Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said: "It was too close at the time, and I was suddenly a little panicked, so I didn't see it too clearly, but I don't think it's a person on the other side." ”
The second uncle nodded sternly, but did not speak. At this time, I knew in my heart that just across the wall from us, an unknown monster was watching us.
Now we are fully aware of the reason for this bifurcation and theft hole, the situation should have been, the group of rakes have opened the tomb wall, just when they want to enter, an accident happened, in the tomb rushed out of a thing, although we don't know what it is but it should be very dangerous, so the group of people began to flee on the way back, but unfortunately one person failed to escape, it is estimated that it should be the last one. After the group escaped from the attack range of the thing in the tomb, they were not willing to abandon the tomb, so they reopened a new path to the top of the tomb.
Just when we were speculating about the situation, suddenly, Lantern Xiao rubbed his hands and sighed, "Do you feel a lot colder all of a sudden?" ”
After he reminded me, I really felt that the temperature around me was a lot lower, "What's going on?" It's really a lot colder! ”
"Look at that!" Lantern Xiao suddenly pointed at the broken bricks and stones and shouted.
Only then did we realize that from the cracks in the broken bricks and stones next to us, a large amount of white slime suddenly gushed out, not only in large quantities, but also flowing quickly on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it was already very close to us.
The second uncle shouted, "Run!" As he spoke, he turned and went to the hole where he had come. Although the space here is not small at present, the further back you go, the smaller the space of the robbery cave, generally only more than one person wide, so you can only pass one person at a time.
So by the time we lined them up, the white slime was almost touching the last man's heels. We are in the cave of thieves, using both hands and feet as fast as we can. And I also understand how that person died, if we hadn't seen the dead body first, and then Zhou Cheng found some white slime, which made us have some psychological preparation, otherwise if we hesitated a little just now, I'm afraid that someone would be swallowed by those white slime and become the appearance of that dead corpse.
The sudden drop in temperature around us made our hands and feet a little stiff.
We rolled and crawled in the hole, and the slime behind us was in hot pursuit. Suddenly, Zhou Chengcheng at the back exclaimed, we turned our heads to look, and saw that Zhou Cheng's heel had been stained with some mucus, which was extremely viscous, and one of Zhou Cheng's feet was stuck in an instant.
In front of Zhou Cheng were Wenmo and me. The two of us hurriedly grabbed Zhou Cheng, pulled him hard towards us, and tried our best to barely pull Zhou Cheng's feet up, and at the same time brought up the white viscose, but I didn't expect that as these viscose wires were stretched, its toughness was also increasing, and even later we couldn't pull it. Zhou Cheng stretched out his hand and used a dagger to cut the sticky wires, but to no avail, he kept cutting them at all.
The Lantern Festival and the second uncle behind us couldn't squeeze in because of the width of the thief hole, and they couldn't help and stomped their feet in a hurry, and Lantern Xiao shouted: "What is this, mutation 502!" ”
Seeing that the white slime was about to rush to our feet, Zhou Cheng raised his head in despair, smiled miserably, and said to us: "Let it go!" Leave me alone! Otherwise, we're all going to die here! ”
I shook my head, "No, we're not going to leave you here alone. Lantern Xiao also shouted, "Brother Cheng, don't say stupid things!" If you work hard, you will succeed. ”
Zhou Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, and reached out to push us away, at this moment, Wen Mo took out a short knife from his waist and swiped it lightly on the tip of his middle finger, and with a stream of blood flowing out, he quickly wiped it on the blade, and then the knife flashed, I felt that the white viscose on Zhou Cheng's feet was cut off, and I even felt that the temperature around me was not so low.
I looked at Wen Mo in surprise, only to see him pull Zhou Cheng up and push the two of us away, "Let's go!" ”
