Chapter 226: Death in the same cave

When I came, I explored the island with my mental power, and I didn't find any intelligent creatures, Aka is a half-orc, superior to ordinary people in intelligence, strength, and speed, and should not encounter the danger of killing it.

But this is true, the monster bride says that there are only two possibilities for Acre's situation, one is that it is dead, and the other is that someone more capable than her has used a spell to cut off their contact.

There is no one else on the island but us, so it can only be the first possibility, Acre is dead, and as for how he died, we must find it to know.

The monster bride does not advise us to go to Aka, she says that Aka is a dead man, and if a dead person dies again, even if it is completely dusty and dusty, there is no need to worry about its life and death.

Gu Yu shook his head and said, "No, none of us can go without it, will you sail to sea?" ”

The monster bride didn't speak, her modern knowledge was all from tourists who had visited the island in recent years, and she knew a lot of things, but she couldn't use them.

In her time, it was still a wooden boat, and she was probably riding an oil-burning speedboat for the first time, so how could she talk about driving operations?

Moreover, it is very difficult to identify the direction at sea, and it is necessary for people with sailing experience to do it, otherwise they only know the general direction, and it is likely to deviate too far from the target, and the ship will not be able to dock for ten days and a half months.

Accidents happen in the most unlikely circumstances, which is something none of us expected, and the monster bride has no way to refute Gu Yu, so she has to follow us to find it.

In fact, she can't follow if she wants to, she has to 'attach' to me now to move, I just think of a backpack, after a few days together, I have been immune to her terrifying appearance, and I no longer feel a chill down my back.

We followed the direction that Acre left, through the street and the central square, we came to the entrance of the aquarium, Gu Yu looked for Acre's footprints all the way, and so far, from the direction, Acre should have entered the aquarium, and only in and out.

The white oval building of the aquarium looks like a giant seashell, and the glass door to the entrance is open, and the ash of the door panel is stamped with Acre's palm print.

Why does it come to the Oceanarium? Is there still a living person here?

I'm confident in my ability, it may be weaker, but it won't be wrong, and when I searched before, I really didn't find intelligent brainwaves.

Acre used to work on the island, and its visit to the aquarium may have something to do with its old life, and we entered the Great Hall, which had been a mess since the outbreak of the virus, with human stumps and carrion on the floor, and a thick layer of dust on the dried bloodstains.

Acre's footprints were very clear, and it walked directly to the staff passage after entering, and the purpose was very obvious.

The ash on the doorknob was rubbed off, and Gu Yu's observation was meticulous, and he could see not only the marks on the doorknob, but also the door was opened with a key.

It only took a few seconds for Gu Yu to conclude that the key to open the door was hidden on the alarm box next to the door, hidden in this position, which normal people could see at a glance, so it was not appropriate to describe it as hidden.

"Keys are not for protection, be careful." I grabbed Gu Yu, who was about to push the door, although the thing that could hurt him has not appeared for the time being, but it does not mean that there is none.

Gu Yu nodded at me lightly, and opened the passage door with an air shield, and the foul smell indicated that there would definitely be nothing good inside.

Behind the door was a staircase, and there was no light in the black rumbling, but luckily I didn't need any lighting, and on the walls of the passage, I saw a few splatters of blood.

Entering the door, Gu Yu found scratches left by fingernails scratching on the door panel, and some human tissue, as long as you imagine the scene at that time, you can know how these marks got up.

There was also a scene of zombies attacking people in the staff passage, the zombies had blood, internal organs, or brains on their hands, and then grabbed the door with their hands, and someone closed the passage and locked the door from the outside.

This person is most likely Acre, but why did he reopen the door? He knew what was inside.

Compared to carrying a zombie on its back, the dark passage is not scary at all, but if other creatures appear at this time, we may be startled.

Gu Yu went up to the second floor and tried twice in front of the passage door, the door was locked, and there was no trace of it being opened.

So we went up to the third floor, which is also the top floor of this aquarium, which should be the office area, and the door to the corridor leading to the office area was unscrewed open by Gu Yu.

By the time he arrived, Acre was certainly not dead, so the incident must have happened behind this door.

I reached out again to sense the brainwave activity behind the door, and as the previous time, I didn't notice anything abnormal.

Gu Yu wrapped us in an air shield, and with this protection, we at least didn't have to worry about the animals that suddenly jumped out.

The fact that there were no animals behind the door, and the hallway was clean was too clean for this time of day.

"This wall is clean enough, snow-white-" Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly felt the wall move, and subconsciously stopped my voice and looked at the wall carefully.

It's all white, but the wall seems to be a little uneven?!

"It's bugs." Gu Yu said the conjecture in my heart for me.

When I first came in, I felt awkward, the walls were white, even the floor was white, and there were no doors and windows in the whole corridor, like a white rectangular lattice, which was really weird.

Now that I see it clearly, I know that there are countless small white insects covering the entire corridor, and the number of them has been layered on top of each other, so it will give people the feeling of uneven walls.

"Over there." The monster bride pointed to a slightly sunken wall in the hallway and said, "Look at the shape, it should be a door."

But there were so many bugs that it almost filled the space around the door panel, and Gu Yu threw an air bomb that bounced away the bugs in that position.

The insects are like white waves, the outline of the door is exposed, these insects obviously do not gnaw wood, the door panel is really very clean, as if the door is cleaned every day, and the financial room listed on it is still as new.

However, at the doorway, where the worms retreated, there was a scattered white skeleton on the ground, and all the tissue between the bones had disappeared completely, not to mention the flesh and blood.

Even if a group of zombies have a meal, it is impossible to gnaw so cleanly, we know that this white bone is Aka, and it has been buried in the mouth of the worm.

Because Aka's bones are very recognizable, half of them are beasts, and animal bones are different from human bones, and the two bones are mixed together, which is undoubtedly a half-orc Aka.

It is standing at the door of this room, so the purpose of its coming to the aquarium must be behind the door.

Gu Yu opened the way for us, standing at the door of the financial room, the monster bride said that Aka was originally a dead person, and it had no pain, so it couldn't feel the pain of being bitten by insects, and since it would turn into white bones sooner or later, it might be better now.

I admit that no matter how he dies, Acre will die completely sooner or later, but he must have had a regret before he dies, and I guess this regret is in the finance room.

Gu Yu pushed open the door, and a rancid smell immediately came out of the house, and we quickly entered the house and immediately closed the door, without letting the white worms in.

There were two desks in the room, and the computer monitors on the desks had fallen to the floor, as well as some papers, pens, and other miscellaneous items, which were also messed up, as if someone had fought in this room.

In the high-backed office chair by the window, Gu Yu found a dried corpse, the body was tied to the chair by wires, and there was a tooth mark on the wrist that was deep and bone-seeing.

Long hair, professional skirts, black heels, these details tell us that this dried corpse is a woman.

Aka came to the aquarium just for her? Who is she? Did Aka tie her up here?

It seems that these questions do not need to be asked, the truth of the matter is obvious, the woman was bitten and mutated into a zombie, and Aka subdued her after a struggle and tied her here.

Why is it tied up, not killed, because their relationship must be very close, so intimate that even if a woman becomes a zombie, Aka can't bear to kill her.

He came to see her secretly when he returned to Lanka, and perhaps he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, or perhaps a luxury—that she might still be alive.

Zombies that have not been able to eat for a long time, and have not preyed on their own kind, eventually consume 'electricity' and die, in my opinion, this is not a bad thing.

She may have never eaten people, never hurt the loved ones, friends, or even lovers she cared about, she just left this world alone and slowly.

The ending sounds sad, but relatively speaking, it can be regarded as a kind of luck, at least Aka came back to see her, although they are only separated by a door, they have been separated by heaven and earth, but after all, they can be regarded as 'dead together'.

Gu Yu took the bones of the two to the outside of the aquarium, and Aka was eaten by insects, these insects do not have intelligence, it is equivalent to suicide in disguise, which can also be said to be martyrdom.

Gu Yu found a photo in the drawer of the woman's desk, and the monster bride confirmed that the sunny strong man in the photo was Aka.

Gu Yu buried the two under a tree together, without tombstones and sealed soil, hoping that they could sleep peacefully on this beautiful island.

"Let's go, let's find another way to leave." I don't really know what to do, the island's resources are all looted by pirates, especially fuel, pirate ships need a lot of fuel, they haven't let go of any place where there may be gas, the gas stations are all empty.

Gu Yu seemed to have something in mind, he took us back to the beach, and before he could tell me how to leave, we found that the speedboat pushed on the beach was gone.

There is a pink skeleton looking at the speedboat, it is said that it should not be washed back into the sea by the waves, and even if it is washed back into the sea, it is impossible to float away with the pink skeleton, its owner is still on the island, and if you want to leave, you have to say hello, right?

"What day is today, is it suitable to play missing?" I muttered, looking out into the endless sea, and I couldn't see the slightest shadow of a ship.

The monster bride said, "It's too early for us to be reassured. ”
