Chapter 276: Discovery
The depth of the hole was about three meters, and it was not necessary to fall to death or seriously injure me if I fell vertically, but after the end, I turned a corner, and there was nothing around to grab the force, so I could only let this force drag for the time being. &1t;/p>
Left, right, right, I secretly wrote down the order of each turn, and it took seven turns before I let go of what was wrapped around my ankle. &1t;/p>
I was dragged face down into the hole, never having a chance to see what was wrapped around my feet, and when it stopped, I immediately rolled over and sat up, and saw two intestine-like things retracted into a water tank. &1t;/p>
Of course, the bloody intestines don't move on their own, this thing is probably just like it, but it's not intestines. &1t;/p>
I bent over and stood up, but the height of the hole was not high enough, and I had to walk with my head down, which was very uncomfortable, so I changed to a squatting position and looked around. &1t;/p>
It's a rough hole in the soil, I don't see any traces of artificial tools, but it looks like some kind of animal dug up, but do animals burn clay? &1t;/p>
Eighteen clay jars in the cave, chest-high, neatly arranged on the side of the wall, in a circle, I took a bite out of when I was dragged in. &1t;/p>
In the middle of the circle, there are layers of white bones, some of which have rusty rifles lying next to them. &1t;/p>
Although the clothes worn by the deceased have been torn into rags, the style and shape of the military cap can still be seen to be the attire of the island nation's army during the war. &1t;/p>
Their deaths may have something to do with the fierce fighting in the hallway, and it is a bit unreasonable that the people above did not retrieve the bodies. &1t;/p>
Looking at the white bones under my feet, I naturally thought of the gun holes in the corridor, maybe the soldiers stationed here had fought fiercely with some kind of creature, and the conditions did not allow them to search for the corpses of their own people, so they had to abandon them. &1t;/p>
But is it the intestines in the tank that they want to fry? &1t;/p>
If the intestines are the prisoners of this prison, then the water tank should be in the room, how can it run to the ground? &1t;/p>
It doesn't make sense at all, I don't think there is a necessary connection between them, and if the threat that makes the island soldiers shoot indiscriminately is these intestines, it will be a little ridiculous. &1t;/p>
Because they didn't make any next move except to drag me in, and besides, many of the bones on the ground had come down with guns, and they could have broken the tank, and I didn't see a broken tank, and there were no bullet holes in the earthen wall. &1t;/p>
There is only one hole in the cave, which means that the creatures who dug the hole in the first place have dug up to this point, and the area of activity is limited to the earth hole to the cell. &1t;/p>
But as I was dragged down, I saw other forks in the tunnel, the door of the cell had not been opened for a long time, and unless the creature had escaped with the door closed, it must have been moving around through these tunnels underground. &1t;/p>
Now that the scope of the 'visit' was out of my expectations, I retreated to the exit and tried to climb back the way I came, but as soon as my feet were raised, I felt something approaching behind me. &1t;/p>
I quickly planted it to the side, rolled on the spot, and then quickly kicked down the nearest water tank, trying to use it to block the attack from behind. &1t;/p>
I subconsciously held my breath, but I didn't smell the rancid smell I imagined, the smell of these intestines smelled more like wood soaked in water. &1t;/p>
Even though I knew they weren't intestines, I subconsciously avoided a step so as not to step on them. &1t;/p>
At the same time, what I am sneaking up on behind my back now is the two large intestines that I just dragged me down, maybe because I removed them from the exit, they retracted back into the tank. &1t;/p>
"Great hospitality." I muttered as I moved to the exit, trying to see if they would attack me again. &1t;/p>
As soon as my hand reached the edge of the hole, the intestines in the tank jumped out, and I quickly withdrew my hand, and sure enough, I saw it retract again. &1t;/p>
It's a rhythm that only allows you to enter, not to go out! &1t;/p>
I thought it was funny, so I searched all over the place for tools, trying to smash the jar to see what was inside, and only one of the eighteen jars had intestines that moved, and the reason must be hidden in that jar. &1t;/p>
I picked up a badly rusted rifle, the metal parts all rusted beyond recognition, and the wooden body broke as soon as it broke. &1t;/p>
I threw away the useless rifle, overturned a water tank, and poured out the intestines inside, although this thing looked disgusting, it didn't smell bad, just overcome the psychological effect. &1t;/p>
But when I emptied the tank, a red thing rolled out with the intestines, like a stone. &1t;/p>
I tore a few rags from the bones and wiped the red stone, revealing a blink of blue. &1t;/p>
This is actually a source stone?! &1t;/p>
Plants and animals will have varying degrees of mutation in the places where the source stone fell, and when I later recalled those experiences, I felt that it was more reasonable to explain this mutation by 'radiation'. &1t;/p>
The source stone comes from the universe, and it itself may carry some kind of energy that can change the form of life on Earth. &1t;/p>
Medical maniacs use it to develop vaccines, Mei Shao uses it to attract zombies, others use it to make weapons against zombies, but the islanders have thought of using it to create monsters decades ago. &1t;/p>
It's just that it doesn't seem to have a high success rate, and I have checked the seventeen water tanks all over again, and there is a source stone in each tank, if this thing is taken out and seen by the people of the New Human Alliance, they will definitely ask what it is for. &1t;/p>
Whether or not they already know about the existence and purpose of the Source Stone, I have to be just in case, just in case they don't know yet! &1t;/p>
I didn't do anything, I didn't stop wiping the source stones, absorbing them all, only the last tank remained, and I already knew its dead hole. &1t;/p>
I confidently threw the empty jar in my hand at it, only to hear a thud, and the water tank was smashed into a large gap, revealing a human head inside. &1t;/p>
I really didn't expect this kind of sight, I was slightly startled, and what surprised me even more was that there was not only a human head in the tank, but actually a person inside. &1t;/p>
The man was curled up, with his arms crossed over his chest and around his shoulders, and it was obvious that he had barely squeezed in, which also showed that he was not tall and thin. &1t;/p>
He was probably a prisoner in the cell above, and I slowly approached the corpse, his intestines curling up from his abdomen, untouched by my proximity. &1t;/p>
The question of whether there was a intestine or a corpse first, and since there was no solution for the time being, I put it aside and didn't think about it. &1t;/p>
"Dude, what do you mean? Let me help you settle down? As soon as I finished speaking, the water tank completely shattered, and the body fell directly to the ground, still maintaining a half-sitting posture with his shoulders crossed. &1t;/p>
Then I saw that he had a belt around his waist, and a short knife of the kind used for seppuku hanging from his belt, and that he was wearing a pair of boots on his feet. &1t;/p>
Prisoners definitely don't have this treatment, and ordinary island soldiers shouldn't either, and this person is eighty percent an official. &1t;/p>
I poked the corpse with the fragments of the water tank, but the intestines still didn't move, so I simply smashed the corpse's stomach open and used the broken rifle shaft to pull out the source stone inside. &1t;/p>
This source stone has been wrapped in the corpse's stomach for at least seventy years, and let me absorb it, but I still can't accept it, so I pondered hiding it. &1t;/p>
I dug a few times on the wall behind the jar with a pottery shard, and suddenly I felt something soft when I dug up, and then a stream of blood flowed from the wall, and I quickly stopped. &1t;/p>
But the contents of the wall still woke up, the clods of earth on the wall cracked and fell, and an arm with sharp claws stretched out. &1t;/p>
Beasts, monsters? Two possibilities flashed through my mind, but soon I sensed that it was a zombie! &1t;/p>
I was very surprised to see the zombie here, its brain waves were just in a static state, so I didn't search for it, and now it is gradually becoming active, I immediately used a mental attack on it, I can't give it a chance to move, the earth hole is low, and I can't use my fists and feet. &1t;/p>
I don't know how the zombie has blood, but seeing its claws and arms, I know that this hole must be its masterpiece. &1t;/p>
The unreserved mental attack instantly crushed the zombie's brain, and it hung up before it woke up, and if this was a movie, the audience might scold the director for Cheng Xiang. &1t;/p>
But the difference between reality and movies is that reality does not pursue good-looking and exciting pictures, but only solves problems quickly. &1t;/p>
Because of my quick move, half of the zombie's body has not yet stepped out of the wall, and when it dies, its body pounces forward, causing it to fall out of the wall completely. &1t;/p>
There was also a bloody intestine, it turned out that I had just dug into its belly, and I used too much force to poke its stomach directly. &1t;/p>
Fortunately, I didn't like to eat pig intestines before, and I won't have the opportunity to eat again in the future, and I see too many intestines tonight, I'm tired of seeing them, and I don't want to see them again for a long time in the future. &1t;/p>
Now it's certain that this naked zombie is the real prisoner, but the zombie doesn't need to drink water, and if it was a zombie in the first place, there would be no thermos and water bottles in the cell, so I guess it has a long process from normal to corpse, but why there is a water tank with source stones in the cave is still a mystery. &1t;/p>
Maybe the island soldiers want to use the source stone in the jar to suppress the zombies, because the source stone can restrain the zombies. &1t;/p>
I took the pottery shard and knocked around to make sure there were no other zombies, and then crawled back up the exit. &1t;/p>
The intestines that left the source stone did not move again, and I returned to the cell in the order I had written down before, there was more than one passage below, and there were many forks, and I think there were many more earth holes under the cell. &1t;/p>
Maybe there's a hole under each cell, and they're interconnected. &1t;/p>
Assuming that there are more than eighteen water tanks, then the islanders must have a source stone mine, and I suddenly have a guess, maybe this underground building and the source stone mine we are looking for are the same place! &1t;/p>
Now that this place belongs to the New Human Alliance, I thought it would be difficult to explore the ground, so I turned my mind and retreated back from the cave that was about to end. &1t;/p>
I monitored the brain waves on the ground with my mental power, and the two-headed girl had left, and no one was moving towards the cell for the time being, which was a wonderful opportunity. &1t;/p>
I crawled every fork in the tunnel, and as I expected, there were many dirt holes under the cell. &1t;/p>
These holes are by no means a project that can be completed overnight, but not all of them have tanks in them, and two-thirds of them are hollow. &1t;/p>
The entrance to the cave and the cell was either blown up or blocked by logs, presumably to prevent the zombies from returning to the surface. &1t;/p>
I was in a hole with a water tank, and now there was another tunnel in the opposite direction, and all the earth caves had only one entrance and exit, but in this earth hole, there was a hole that continued downward. &1t;/p>
Since there may still be zombies in the cave that have survived to this day, I used the saber I picked up to poke the wall while crawling forward, and if I encountered a zombie, I would wake it up first and then deal with it. &1t;/p>
