Chapter 275: And the Living
Recalling this, Zhu Xiaolong stopped, took the mineral water and poured a few more sips.
"What happened later, how could Xiaolongbao suddenly disappear!" Yun Xizi said a little anxiously.
"Later..."Zhu Xiaolong put down the mineral water, wiped his face, and continued to reminisce.
When Xiaolongbao replied "reasonable" in the group, he began to move his position with Zhu Xiaolong, trying to stay away from the human head.
"You can't see him here, can you?" Xiao Long Bao stood up, turned his head to look at the position of the human head, and found that he could only see the side of the other party.
"Hmm. Zhu Xiaolong nodded, he was not as scared as before, and seemed to be used to being around corpses.
"I continued to tell them about the situation. Xiao Long Bao took out his phone and planned to continue sending messages.
"Etc.. etc., he.. He's moving!" Suddenly, Zhu Xiaolong grabbed Xiaolongbao and stared at a place.
"Who's moving?" Xiao Long Bao put down his phone and followed Zhu Xiaolong's gaze.
I saw that the head that was originally facing them from the side suddenly moved, and slowly, from the side to the front of the two of them, glared at the two of them again.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"I'm sorry, I stepped on you!" Xiao Long Bao hurriedly turned around.
"It's okay... Ah, be careful!" Zhu Xiaolong hurriedly put the xiaolongbao in his arms and dragged it.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Long Bao wondered.
"Ahh
Because the light was too dim, neither of them could see what it was, but they felt that the other had a lot of strength.
Zhu Xiaolong hugged Xiaolongbao tightly and tug-of-war with the place, but the other party's strength was too great, and gradually, Xiaolongbao was about to break out of his arms.
At this time, Xiaolongbao took out his mobile phone and clicked on the voice, intending to call for help.
Suddenly, a horrified laugh came out of the pit, and the sound seemed to be very similar to what I had heard before.
"Ahh
"Xiaolongbao, don't let go!" Zhu Xiaolong grabbed Xiaolongbao's hand desperately.
"He's dragging me, he's dragging me, ah!" shouted as Xiao Long Bao was completely dragged away.
"Bang bang bang..."
Immediately after, something similar to a tentacle directly knocked a large hole into the mud wall, and dragged Xiaolongbao into it.
Zhu Xiaolong hurriedly ran towards the big hole, trying to catch up.
"Boom!"
At this moment, it was as if there was an earthquake in the pit, and after a rapid shaking, cracks began to appear in the mud wall, and the cracks widened, and the sand and gravel and the corpses embedded in it also fell.
"Ahh
Zhu Xiaolong hurriedly dodged the overturned sand and corpses.
At this time, he realized that most of the corpses in the mud wall were intact, but they were embedded in the mud wall, which looked like stumps.
Only a small number of them have fallen off from their bodies and become stumps due to decay or other reasons
There was no time to dodge, Zhu Xiaolong was directly pressed down by the sand and gravel and the corpse.
After waking up
, Zhu Xiaolong found that the sand and gravel and corpses that should have covered his body were gone, and the pit seemed to have returned to its original appearance, and there were still many corpses and stumps embedded in the surrounding mud walls.
No, it's not the original, it's bigger and deeper.
"Meaning, when you wake up, you find that this pit has expanded?" After listening, Sun Ting wondered.
"Yes, and the gravel and the corpse that had covered me are gone. Zhu Xiaolong nodded.
"Could it be your hallucination? You're tired by then. Wang Lei asked.
"No! Moreover, if it hadn't been for the sudden collapse, how could Xiao Long Bao have disappeared?" Zhu Xiaolong looked at everyone.
"In which direction did Xiaolongbao disappear?" asked Yun Xizi.
"Hmm... I'll look for it. As he spoke, Zhu Xiaolong groped around the mud wall, and everyone also shone their flashlights in the direction of his search.
"Here!" After searching for a while, Zhu Xiaolong suddenly stood still, pointed to a head and said.
"Isn't this the human head in the photo?" asked Sun Ting.
"Yes, it was only after this human head began to move that Xiaolongbao was caught by something similar to tentacles, and those two tentacles came out of both sides of this human head. Zhu Xiaolong said.
"Wait... You said that the tentacles appeared from both sides of this human head, and you said that the tentacles smashed through the mud wall and made a hole in it, what are you saying that is very contradictory! If the tentacles are sticking out from here, they are all holding xiaolongbao, what can they use to knock through the mud wall?" Yun Xizi looked at Zhu Xiaolong and wondered.
"Since there are holes in here, then this human head shouldn't stay here anymore, either it will fall to the ground, or it will roll into the hole with Xiaolongbao. Hee added with his little short hand rubbing his round chin.
"Ahh It's so confusing!" Zhu Xiaolong covered his head in pain, as if his thoughts were confused.
"Take a sip and think slowly. Wang Lei took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to Zhu Xiaolong.
After taking the water, Zhu Xiaolong poured a few sips of "gurgling", splashed it on his face a few more times, and took a deep breath.
"I remember!" wiped his face, Zhu Xiaolong seemed to be a lot more sober.
"There were more than two tentacles, it was a lot, but because it was so dark at that time, I didn't see clearly, and I only noticed the two wrapped around Xiao Long Bao's waist. Moreover, they are not ordinary tentacles, shaped like branches, but the epidermis is like human skin, no, they don't look like people, they feel like animals that have shed their skin... Anyway, it's the skin that is somewhere between humans and molting animals. They came out of the mud wall, and two of them wrapped around Xiao Long Bao and dragged her, and the rest reached up to the position of this head, and kept slapping against the mud wall until a big hole was made, and then Xiao Long Bao was dragged into the hole, and they shrank back after it. Zhu Xiaolong recalled.
"But what about this head, did it fall into the hole as well?" asked Hee-hee.
"Yes! After the hole was knocked out, all the corpses in this mud wall fell into the hole, but now that they are here again, and they are as they are, I don't know why. Zhu Xiaolong wondered.
"Maybe it didn't stay the same, didn't you say that when you woke up, you found that the pit had expanded?" Yun Xizi looked at Zhu Xiaolong and asked.
"Yes, two or three times larger. Zhu Xiaolong nodded.
"Since the expansion is expanded, then, the mud wall has increased, and the corpses will naturally increase, so it is impossible to keep it as it is, maybe this head
The swing looks the same as before, but the position may have changed. Yun Xizi analyzed.
"Makes sense... So, where did Xiaolongbao disappear from?" Although he clarified his thoughts, Zhu Xiaolong felt even more at a loss.
"Do you have any xiaolongbao stuff? Yun Xizi asked.
"Hmm... By the way, gloves, when I caught her, I ripped off a glove, where did it fall?" said that, Zhu Xiaolong searched on the ground.
"Is this it?" Xixi held a ski glove in his left hand and handed it to Zhu Xiaolong.
"Yes!" Zhu Xiaolong said as he pinched his gloves.
"Sun Ting, let out the taste dog and the letter receiving dog. Yun Xizi looked at Sun Ting and said.
"Okay!" Sun Ting nodded, took out a few talismans from his pocket, threw them into the air, and immediately transformed into seven big dogs.
"You smell it. Yun Xizi took the gloves and sniffed them carefully for the six taste-seeking dogs.
"Wangwang!" After remembering the taste, the dog barked wildly, and then scattered in all directions, and in one fell swoop smashed through the mud wall and ran into the depths.
"Are we looking for the tunnel they knocked out, or are we waiting here?" Looking at the six large holes that were knocked out by the taste dogs, Sun Ting looked at Yun Xizi and asked.
"Go and see, I always think this place is a little weird, not like a natural crater. Yun Xizi said.
"Well, and I faintly smell a demonic aura and resentment. Xixi's little nose moved and said.
"And the ghost!" added Greedy Dream.
"Which cave should you go to, or do you go separately?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
"Don't separate, that's too dangerous, Hee-hee, you smell it, which hole has the strongest smell?" Yun Xizi looked at Hee-hee and asked.
"I sniff it. As he spoke, Hee-hee sniffed from hole to hole.
"Here!" Hee said, pointing to a hole.
"Okay, let's go here first, everyone stay close, don't get separated, Xixi, you take the lead, and I will go last with the receiving dog." Yun Xizi said.
Then, under the leadership of Xi Xi, everyone entered the hole with the strongest smell and walked to the depths.
Since the tunnel was not large, only one person could pass through, and the tall man had to walk with his head down, so everyone walked very slowly.
As they walked, they groped around the mud walls, trying to find some clues related to this strange pit.
"The soil on this mud wall seems to be a little different from the sand and gravel on the Gobi!" Wang Lei picked off a piece of soil, held it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
"What's the difference?" Chen Xiao said curiously.
"The sand and gravel in the Gobi are basically composed of sand and gravel, which is very dry, but this piece of soil obviously contains moisture, unlike the products of the Gobi. Wang Lei said.
"It does smell fishy and damp, not like the smell of the Gobi. Hee Xi leaned on the mud wall and sniffed carefully.
"Why is there soil from the outside world under the Gobi?" Sun Ting said.
"Ten of the ** are all carried by people. Yun Xizi said.
"That's a big project!" Chen Xiao sighed.
"Help, help..."Just as everyone was moving forward and discussing what this place was, they heard a small cry for help.
"And the living?" the crowd wondered, and stopped.
