Chapter 195: Artificial Dried Corpse
Waiting for Gu Wan's aggrieved mood to gradually subside, Li Shisan opened his mouth to ask.
"What's your situation?"
"I'm thirsty."
"I didn't ask you this!"
Answering the question, Li Shisan still picked up the kettle and handed it out, Gu Wan quickly took it, and poured a few sips, it seemed that because of weakness, she had been without water and food for a while, even if it was raining outside, she almost died of thirst.
"Still thirsty? Don't be thirsty, tell me what you're doing. ”
Gu Wan buried her face in Li Shisan's chest, "I'm not thirsty, I'm still hungry..."
"Hey, I'm glad I arrived just in time, if it was a few days late..."
Taking out the smokeless stove, Li Shisan slowly heated the scones and jerky, and really wanted to know the specific situation of Gu Wan, but the person had already been saved, and she would ask about the situation when she came to her senses.
Priority food is now a priority.
The rest of the marching bag can be eaten for more than twenty days by a single person, divided into two servings, minus at least ten days from the number of days, and must be supplemented by hunting and gathering.
If Gu Wan's combat effectiveness was no different from before and after the New Year, she wouldn't have to worry about starving to death at all, just afraid that there was something wrong with her health...
"Eat."
took the processed food and handed it to Gu Wan, but was disgusted for a while.
"Don't you have cans or anything like that? It's all dry food soaked..."
"Pull it down, return the canned food, thank God for the jerky."
Although it can't compare to the food cooked in a pot and pot, canned food is already quite delicious in the field, and it is suitable for long-term storage in various environments.
The trouble lies in the weight, the canned food is really heavy, and it will generally be consumed in the early stage of the forbidden area, reducing the weight of luggage.
Gu Wan muttered, but she still took a big bite of food, and almost said, "Eh, it's so fragrant." ”
After eating and resting for a while, Gu Wan's eyes finally brightened.
"Li Shisan, how did you find me?"
The corners of Li Shisan's mouth twitched twice, "Obviously I should have asked first... Forget it, I took a fork in the road by chance and found another cave..."
Briefly describe the situation in the cave, as well as a letter.
"How is that possible?!"
Gu Wan was so shocked that she almost fell off the table, "How could there be that kind of similarity?!" ”
"I didn't believe it at first..."
Li 13 wanted to take out an envelope or a photo of his mobile phone to prove it, but unfortunately in the previous explosion, both things were sacrificed.
I only remembered the name of the girl who signed the letter, and after saying it, Gu Wan said that she didn't know her, but she quickly accepted the reality.
“… I probably figured it out. ”
"What?"
"There's a force that artificially created those caves, so the pattern is pretty much the same, and the notes and letters are pretty much the same."
It does sound reasonable, but when you think about it, it's a little wrong, what can be the result of this thankless job.
"How do you know?"
"Because, it's not all over there."
Gu Wan pointed to the stone bed opposite, the dry corpse that was a little weathered after dehydration...
Li Shisan didn't know the little friend who entered the fifth forbidden area back then, "It's not Wan Fu, who is it?" ”
"Not people."
"Huh?!"
"It's a wax figure."
Gu Wan's eyes stared at the dry corpse, and Li Shisan got up in astonishment, thinking back to the process of counting Wan Fu's body last time.
There is no problem with the touch, after all, I have never been in contact with dried corpses before, I just feel that the crystal on the surface is a natural phenomenon of corpse oil waxing, and as for the light weight of the body, of course, it is caused by muscle atrophy.
In addition to this, the details of the corpses, and even the smell of rancidity...
Huh? No rancid smell now?
Gu Wan explained, "That's a wax figure, not a real corpse, there is a groove in the center of the stone bed, blocked by a wax figure, and inside is a rotting animal, which has been cleaned up by me." ”
Li Shisan really didn't suspect that the corpse was fake, "Did you work as a forensic doctor before?" ”
"No, it's not." Gu Wan looked at the stone bed, her eyes full of memories, "Wan Fu had a fracture in the fifth forbidden area, delayed treatment, and was rescued safely before he completely recovered from his injury, so his right leg is shorter than his left leg... Approximately the thickness of the ball of the foot shorter. ”
The wax figures on the stone bed had neat legs, Gu Wan realized that something was wrong, and took a knife to separate the surface only to find that it was all wax.
Li 13 picked up the notebook on the table, "This note..."
"The handwriting of the notes and letters is almost exactly the same as Wan Fu's, and I'm not sure if it's his own, or if someone else copied it."
The dried corpses are imitations, and in more than one place, the caves are also imitations, and notes and letters may also be...
There are so many moves near the Crescent Moon Mountains, and I can't figure out why.
Gu Wan guessed that it might have attracted them, the teenagers and girls who had entered the fifth forbidden area, and quickly overturned the speculation.
Not to mention that the cursed person is almost dead, even if everyone is there, how could they just encounter these caves in the vast fifth forbidden area, the reason why Gu Wan came was because Li Shisan's accidental action was triggered.
Li 13 read Wan Fu's letter, the content was similar to the girl's letter he had received before, and guided him to the Crescent Moon Mountain Range, and went deep along the wave-like mountain range, in order to come into contact with the curse for a second time and crack it.
The method sounds quite mysterious, and if you think about it carefully, you don't say anything about the principle and why it pushes people into a more dangerous situation, and what is even more depressing is that this is good and will not make any party profit.
"We don't think about any big chess game behind us." Li 13 turned his attention back to the eyes, "What's your situation?" A second curse? ”
"No, it's going to survive the second curse... It's too difficult. ”
Gu Wan was exhausted just by passing through the underground cave and reaching the periphery of the Crescent Moon Mountain Range, she was covered with a curse, the closer she got to the Crescent Moon Mountain Range, the weaker her body became, and every gust of wind seemed to be depriving her of her life.
"In the end, I couldn't hold it anymore and came back exhausted... Food and drinking water were depleted, I didn't expect to see you again. ”
"Cut, discuss with everyone before you go, why not."
"No..."
Gu Wan shook her head, she remembered the incident of following her companions into the fifth forbidden area vividly, she didn't want to bring a few companions who had finally met with her, and encounter a curse again and harm everyone.
"And, I found someone stalking."
"Huh?"
"yes, I don't know what to do with a transmitter on the inside of my backpack."
Gu Wan was sure that she hadn't come into contact with any humans since she entered the Fifth Forbidden Zone, and the signal transmitter could only be installed in Honghai City or before departure.
The place to buy backpacks in Honghai City is the Hunter Guild, and there will be no problems with the guild, and the rest of the possibilities are not imaginable.
Fortunately, because of the battle, Gu Wan's backpack was damaged, and when she turned over the materials, she happened to find a signal transmitter in the damaged bottom compartment of the bag.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Gu Wan cut off the layer of fabric connected to the transmitter separately and tied it to a wild deer and walked away.
Being made in such a fuss, coupled with the exhaustion caused by the Crescent Moon Mountain Range, Gu Wan had to give up her stubbornness and return early, and she still saved her life...
