Chapter 4: The Man in the Coffin

It's cold......

The sensory nerves were slowly recovering, the itching continued to increase, his eyelids were pressed together as if they had been sewn up by steel threads, and his body was equally heavy.

Drifting consciousness converged, in a region that was only cold and dark, Shalin couldn't remember what was happening in the country, he only vaguely heard someone arguing in a distant place.

"I went back to Fran, who was an engineer at the nuclear power plant, and I heard that he was transferred to this hospital......"

"The patient is in a special ward and no one can visit him. ”

"Please, I'm his wife!"

"He needs me!"

"You need to take care of yourself more than ever. ”

"Go and get two boxes of iodine tablets, and then get a new set of radiation protection clothing, and take iodine tablets once in the morning and once in the evening......"

The sound of the argument grew from strong to weak, and Shalin felt someone move him, and he was entangled in a strange sense of restraint, and his breathing became difficult again.

The sound of the water layer came to mind again, this time two strange men talking.

"How many more?"

"Deal with so much first, the back is already full!"

"What a hell of a day!"

Listening to the men's complaints, Shalin soon realized that something bad was happening to him, and the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and a layer of water beads formed by the plastic sheet that wrapped his body gradually appeared.

Then, the movement stopped, and the distorted sound came from my ears again......

"Put all the bodies in the coffin and seal them up, you know what to do. ”

"Yes, sir!"

The sound of digging and the order came at the same time, and Shalin suddenly realized what was happening outside at the moment, and they thought they were dead!

No, don't do that, I'm not dead yet!

You're mistaken!

Shalin was anxious to cry out for help, but he couldn't say a word, and in the outer world of his coffin, in a wooded area on the outskirts of Kappa City, four excavators were working.

The huge pit was quickly dug and workers controlled the switch of the cement truck to pour all the cement into the bottom of the pit.

The bodies were then sent into dark gray coffins in protective suits, and all the coffins were welded and sealed with metal.

After completing these tasks, they hoisted the coffins into a cement pit and arranged them in rows......

Feeling the movement again, the spirit of sarin was about to collapse.

Hey, you're mistaken, I'm not dead!

Let me out!

I'm not dead!

He shouted hard in the depths of his heart, but it was only black in front of him, and no human voice could be heard around him.

The exposed Adam's apple was sticking to the muscles trembling, the sealed plastic bag was wet, he kept cursing in his heart, due to the strong emotion, the brain was quickly revived, but there were still many memories sealed deep in the cerebral cortex.

The distorted presence of silence brings an exceptionally clear coldness.

He controlled his body with all his might, but the ghost-like sensation of pressing the bed made him unable to move at all, his eyelids were as heavy as lead water, and the fear of being buried alive made his breath short!

"Huh-"

The body inhaled suddenly, he let out a faint moan, as if something was pushing out of the skin, the heavy eyelids suddenly opened a slit, and the pure white pupils were covered with dark red blood spots!

It felt like something was different.

But Salin didn't know what was wrong, he continued to struggle, constantly trying to resist, desperate to move, eager to make his voice heard!

But no matter how hard he keeps trying, his body is still out of control.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally felt tired, and his eyes that he had finally opened slowly closed.

......

When he woke up again, Shalin felt clearer.

Smoke was rising from his parched throat, but he had no strength to struggle, quietly and desperately waiting for death to come again.

The past flashed through my mind like a marquee, from birth, beautiful childhood memories, to the death of my mother and the disappearance of my father......

Shalin remembered his work-study student days, remembered the bright future he had fantasized, his life had just begun, he hadn't enjoyed a good life yet, and all the years of hard work had ended here?

No, I'm not reconciled!

No, none of this is right!

I'm not married, I haven't made my own career yet, and I still have a long way to go!

Get moving, get moving!

The strong desire drove the muscles, and the energy squeezed from the depths of the cells exploded in an instant, and the arms were stretched out, and the plastic sheet wrapped around the body was suddenly torn to pieces!

Hiss –

He can finally move!

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Shalin banged all around, he needed to get out of this trough cake situation immediately, because he knew where he was, in the coffin!

"Hey, is anyone there?"

"Let me out!"

"Hear me, you idiots!"

"You're mistaken, hurry up and let me out!"

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

"Let me out!"

"Bastard, son of a bitch, let me out!"

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang......

Bang –

!!

Shalin kicked the top with his foot one by one, and the heavy lead coffin board flew out, and the cloudy purple-red moonlight flowed into the coffin, shining on the man who had escaped death, and a mysterious halo appeared.

And everything happened so suddenly that Shalin lying in the coffin was also stunned for a moment, and then, ecstasy quickly spread to his heart.

"Hahahahaha......"

"Whew, Whew......"

Shalin covered his eyes and squeezed out tears of joy, no matter what happened, it was at least a good start.

When he calmed down for a while, he stood up and sat up, and he saw a row of a dozen dark gray lead coffins neatly placed in the huge pit, and there seemed to be a strange roar coming from all around.

With the faint moonlight, he crawled out of the coffin, and suddenly found a dented coffin board pressed against the other coffin.

Walking to the coffin board, Shalin used his hands to lift the cold coffin board, but the metal coffin board, which was thicker than the two door panels, did not move at all.

"Strange, how did I just kick it away?"

"An outburst before death?"

Shalin swallowed his saliva before he saw that the skin on his hands was ulcerated in large patches, pus, blood and dead skin hanging on his body, like a leather toy that had been discarded.

Anxiety and fear crept through his heart, and he couldn't believe that his body had become like this.

"What's going on, why am I being put in a lead coffin?"

"I seem to have forgotten something......"

"That Night......"

Trying to recall the past, but his brain was suddenly torn apart by something like a crack, and there were still some memories in the cerebral cortex that he couldn't touch.

The night deepened, and strange roars echoed in his ears, but his ears seemed to be cut off by something, including his own words, and all the sounds that came from him became strange and distorted.

The forest is shrouded in purple moonlight, which makes it feel even more eerie and cold.

What seems to be different in this world?
