Chapter 41: You're Ugly
Jiang Xun's fingertips flashed with electric sparks, and he walked towards the house step by step, Jiang Mi was covering with a gun at the door.
Until Jiang Xun's figure fell into darkness completely, there was still no movement on the bed.
The arc ejected and landed on the bed, and the old bedding was lifted off, revealing a curled up black corpse, the whole body was in a shriveled state, as if it had been dried by the air, and at the same time, a strong stench instantly diffused.
Even if he was wearing a filter, the smell of corruption still penetrated into his nose, and Jiang Mi couldn't help frowning and took two steps back.
Jiang Xun walked around the small room, and after finding no abnormality, he quickly retreated from the house, and his expression was obviously relaxed after breathing in the fresh air outside.
"There's something wrong with the corpse." Jiang Xun frowned slightly and pondered.
"The typhoon made landfall at the end of September and the tsunami came in early October, but P City did not suffer from these two disasters, and the snow fell in early November and the temperature dropped rapidly, and the appearance of this person was obviously dead before the temperature dropped, and the flesh and blood were gone, except for the skin and bones, and there was no sign of struggle before dying."
"There was a small fish tank next to the bed, the fish tank was broken, there were two dried fish on the ground, there were traces of someone searching the house, and nothing else was found."
Jiang Mi secretly licked his teeth, analyzed the picture described by Jiang Xun in his mind, and said softly after pondering for a long time: "Maybe it was killed by some kind of mutated creature, but the strange thing is that even if you are weak, the protective mechanism of the human body instinct will subconsciously struggle." ”
"So, it's likely that this person was killed by sucking the flesh out of his flesh unsuspectingly."
Jiang Xun twisted his eyebrows, "It's a pity that there are no more clues on the corpse." ”
"If you look at other houses, you might find some useful information." Jiang Mi had some conjectures in his heart, but there were too many aberrant animals that would devour human flesh and blood after the end of the world, and there were all kinds of plants among them.
The two left one house and went to the next.
After searching three houses in a row, the buildings were empty, and I couldn't find any useful clues except for the mess that filled the house.
Until the seventh house, there was a corpse struggling to crawl out at the door of the wide open door, the same as the corpse seen by the first family, the flesh and blood were sucked dry, and the horror before death could be vaguely seen on the face of only a layer of human skin, the black and thin right hand was stretched forward with great effort, and the bones of the left arm were broken.
Jiang Mi squatted down and looked carefully, and found that the waist of the corpse had obvious traces of strangulation, and the lumbar vertebrae had been misaligned, as if it was vigorously tied by some rope or something.
"Distorted plants, perhaps." Jiang Mi said in a low voice.
The aberrations of the species are strange, even if she survived in the last days for three years, she still doesn't dare to say that she knows all those aberrants, and she can only roughly judge what type it will be.
"The range of plants is too wide." Jiang Xun walked out of the house, "The materials in the house have been scavenged, but this house has a basement, and there is a female corpse chained in the basement that is a normal death, and most of it is already decomposed." ”
"Chained?" Jiang Mi's tone was slightly raised, and his cold gaze fell on the dry corpse, "It seems that this guy was not a good person when he was alive." ”
"In that case......
She was just about to raise her legs, Jiang Xun handed her a wooden stick and said calmly, "Don't get your shoes dirty." ”
Jiang Mi nodded, took the wooden stick and followed the head of the dried corpse with a golf-style swing, watching a black head fly away.
Throwing away the wooden stick in his hand and clapping his hands, Jiang Mi pouted, "Let's go, move on to the next one." ”
Until the entire village, a total of more than 70 households, was searched, and nothing was found except for three more bodies that had been sucked dry.
The two of them, who had been busy for two hours and found nothing, cleaned up a relatively clean house to rest, and an hour had passed since lunchtime, Jiang Mi was already hungry.
Although I really want to rectify the spicy hot pot to eat, the environment of the place where I settled is really not too good, and there is still an unstable factor in the village, in the end, I just showed off three meat pies, and lay on the recliner with a cup of hot milk tea to rest.
"Let's go straight into the city in a moment." Jiang Mi took a sip of pearls and said vaguely while chewing, and his eyes narrowed pleasantly.
Anyway, the aberrations in this village don't have much to do with them, so there's no need to spend them here.
Jiang Xun naturally didn't have any opinions, and with a faint response, he began to condense a fist-sized thunderball in his palm to practice control.
After resting for an hour, the two parked the helicopter in a relatively hidden place and headed towards the city, without any intention of covering their whereabouts along the way, and walked directly on the road.
Although relying on No. 11 is very tiring and a waste of time, but there is no way, such as P City, a first-tier city before the end of the world, not only has a large population, but also a large number of vehicles, and the traffic is completely paralyzed directly after the end of the world, and the streets are full of abandoned vehicles lying in the middle of the road.
The four-wheeled one can't be driven, and the two-wheeled one has to get down and carry the car over the roadblock after riding for a while, and Jiang Mi doesn't need to worry about it.
The village where I settled was the outermost part of the entire P city, and after walking for more than two hours, the two of them entered the urban village.
The snow on the ground on this road is no longer smooth, and you can see traces of being trampled from time to time, although there are not many, but it means that there must be survivors here.
Maybe it's because of the broad daylight, the two didn't encounter any distortions, although they saw a lot of corpses, but they were all dead, after all, there were only a few broken limbs and broken arms, no matter how distorted, it was impossible to move again.
Jiang Mi's gaze fell on a small dark shop on the side of the street, the place that could be seen in the store was messy, but in the darkness that could not be seen in the depths, there seemed to be something shaking.
Jiang Xun followed her gaze, looked at it for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "It's a distorted human, not a survivor." ”
His eyesight had now become excellent, so he could clearly see that the body of the figure swaying in the darkness had been severely distorted, the two arms were as thin and long as the folding sticks, the body was shriveled, the skin had a large area of ulceration, one eyeball was missing, the other protruding eye socket was all controlled by black blood vessels and nerve veins and turned on the face, the sparse hair was attached to the exposed scalp, there was a kitchen knife embedded in the cheek, the purple and black blood covered half of the face, and the teeth that should have been flat became different in length and sharp. There was rotting flesh hanging from the teeth.
Just at a glance, Jiang Xun couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach, retracted his gaze and closed his eyes in an effort to erase the picture in his mind.
Jiang Mi couldn't help grinning when he saw his reaction, "Is it ugly to you?" ”
Jiang Xun was silent, but that look was obviously a tacit acquiescence.
