Chapter Seventy-Nine: Bones
"Comrade Don Jr...... Feel free to ask any comments. Zheng Lide glanced away.
"Camp Commander Zheng, I think you can also see that there is something wrong with the 'water' here, maybe it is because there are chemicals in the water...... It's all antifreeze! The temperature was almost minus 10 degrees Celsius, and there was no sign of solidification. In such a situation, I am afraid that no soldier can do the job...... I'm an outsider, so that's all I can say. Tang Muzhi said.
“…… Your words are also-" Zheng Lide was silent for a while, and just wanted to discuss again, but his words were interrupted by the black pipe:
"Look! What is that? ”
Heiguan'er stretched out his hand and pointed to the lake, Tang Muzhi followed the direction of his finger and saw that there was a square thing shaking up and down in the lake.
The distance between them was not small, Zheng Lide and the soldiers could not see the whole picture of the object, Tang Muzhi's eyes opened, but he saw it really.
It was a Type 91 rucksack with four ear bags, a camouflage-waterproof oxford cloth that stood out in the middle of the lake, and black nylon bands floating around.
"It's a military rucksack!" Tang Muzhi blurted out, "Was it lost by anyone present?" ”
"No ......"
"That's the lost soldiers!" Zheng Lide was categorical, "Comrade Xiao Tang, you can see clearly. ”
"I can see it clearly...... It's a military backpack, bulging, I don't know why it didn't sink. ”
Zheng Lide looked far away, the backpack was too far away from here, and he couldn't fish it without going into the water, so he had to wait for the backpack to float over.
Many soldiers lay on the edge of the lake and stared carefully, "I only saw a black dot. He Jingye said to Tang Muzhi and Heiguan'er, "You two have really good eyesight." ”
Black pipes smiled at Tang Muzhi, "I can't see clearly, I only saw a small square, or Muzhi, you are amazing, can you teach me this hand?" ”
Tang Muzhi covered his chin and whispered next to him: "This is the 'flesh and eye power' of Buddhism, in fact, it can't increase the distance of seeing things, it can only make things see clearly...... Brother Guan'er, if you want to learn, I can find time to teach you later. ”
When Heiguan'er heard that this was a means of Buddhism, he said with a smile: "Muzhi, will this be a taboo?" Can the methods of Buddhism also be passed on? Besides, I don't eat fasting and chanting Buddha, I like to drink......"
Although this fleshy eye power was given to Tang Muzhi by Guang Shao, neither of them shy away from this aspect of passing on the gong, just talk about fate.
"Hi...... You soldier...... It's chic and comfortable. There's nothing shy about it, you can rest assured. ”
"Comrades! Be careful not to fall into the water...... We walked closer to the rucksack. Zheng Lide greeted and couldn't wait to walk towards the shore of the lake near the backpack.
Tang Muzhi stared at him all the way, but he didn't say that the rucksack couldn't be found. When everyone walked under the shade of the mountain, they found that the backpack was stuffed full, but it did not sink, but it floated in the water, almost motionless.
"Whatever is on the surface of this lake floats quietly, and it can't float......"
Zheng Lide was silent, his backpack was still a little far from the shore of the lake, and it was impossible to hook it with something - after all, he still had to go into the water! He turned his head to look at Tang Muzhi, with an inquiring meaning in his eyes.
Tang Muzhi estimated that it was almost impossible for ordinary people to swim over from the shore and retrieve the backpack, and they would freeze halfway through the swim.
"Shall I go into the water?" The black pipe volunteered, he had already filled his body with Qi, his muscles swelled, and he almost held up his uniform.
"Wait, I'm afraid you can't do it at this distance......" Tang Muzhi once again inserted his hand into the frozen lake, "Camp Commander Zheng!" The buoyancy of this water seems to be greater than that of ordinary lake water, is it possible to make a raft out now? ”
When Zheng Lide heard this, he looked around, "There are long sticks, and you can only make rafts, which is a bit troublesome...... Comrades! Let's quickly build a raft out of it. ”
The soldiers were disciplined, well-equipped, and cooperative, but it took about three hours to build the raft, which could only hold three or four people.
After the test was completed in the lake, the raft of the Black Pipe Station was in and out of the water.
"Don't fall off, I've been tying up this raft for two hours." He Jingye said to him.
"you!" The black pipe laughed and cursed, wielding a sapper shovel and slashing at the backpack.
The buoyancy of the lake is indeed quite reliable, and the black pipe was cut down all the way to get the backpack back to the shore without danger.
"It's cold...... And it's not light! The black pipe put the backpack on the ground on his back, and the bag was still very bulging.
"Open it and take a look!" Zheng Lide hurriedly ordered the black pipe to open the rucksack.
Hei Guan'er opened the backpack, and Tang Muzhi first smelled a smell of earth.
"Ahh
The contents of the backpack were a bit of a surprise.
There was a skeleton in there! It had been dead for a long time, and the flesh and tendons had already decayed, as if they had just been dug out of the soil, and there was a lot of dirt on the bones.
Blackpipe's hand was steady, and he lowered his rucksack, and a skull rolled out of his rucksack.
Tang Mu grabbed the smooth skull with one hand, and there was a bone-chilling coldness in his palm, and he looked at it for a while.
Zheng Lide was still stunned, not because he was frightened, but because he was puzzled by a question.
"This rucksack was salvaged from the lake, why didn't the water seep in?" He put his hand in his rucksack, and although the back of the canvas was painted with black plastic, it would be puzzling if it hadn't seeped for so long.
"This size is not right......" Tang Muzhi put down his skull. Who can help take a look? ”
He Jingye picked up the skull from the ground again, "It's really wrong...... The eye sockets are angular, this is a male skull, but this is also too big! Has the brain been swollen for a long time? ”
Tang Muzhi took out the complete skeleton bones in the backpack again, and many joints of this skeleton were actually tied up with black waterproof glue!
"This is the legendary wild man!"
Blackpipe said seriously.
Tang Muzhi stood up after fighting the skeleton and looked at it, this person was about two meters five before his death, he was a giant, combined with the legends of Shennongjia about savages over the years, it is difficult not to make people reminisce.
Zheng Lide pulled off the tape on a joint, "This thing is in every soldier'......s backpack emergency bag, and it looks brand new."
Things are a little frowned, the missing soldiers found the bones of the wild man near here - this is undoubtedly a big event that shocked people at home and abroad, they dug out the corpse and preserved it and brought it to the backpack, but for some reason, the missing soldiers did not come back, maybe something happened.
In addition to the bones of the giant, there were several yellow-orange bullets and half-used bandages in the backpack, which were not soaked by the lake. He Jingye took out the bandage, which was still stained with blackened blood.
"I'm afraid this hasn't been captured by savages." He Jingye spoke, "Battalion commander, you are a local, is the legend of this savage really true?" I've heard that farmers here are often attacked by wild men when they go out? ”
Zheng Lide sat on the ground and let out a sigh, "It's mostly eye-catching rumors, I haven't seen any wild people with my own eyes, but there was a very tall man in our neighboring village back then, about two meters three or two meters four, this person is still in his twenties and has no clothes, his palms and soles are full of hair, he has been running naked for decades, and he died many years ago - we have always regarded him as a hybrid of savages and ordinary people, and then his body was transported to Baijing, and the test results said that it was a disease, microcephaly or something...... I can't remember. ”
