Chapter 16 Wax and Plaque

 I used to think that Yang Mu had experienced two miracles and was the only one who had experienced it. With him, he might discover something and trigger something that he couldn't trigger on his own. This would be safe, so I invited him to go with him.

Now that something happened, I remembered that this also meant that there was a high probability of something out of control happening.

There are so many things in my mind.

In the end, he was suppressed by a single thought.

I don’t want to think about it anymore…I don’t want to think about it anymore…

Zhang Lingjun gritted his teeth and drilled in along the hole.

This hole is not that big. Although people can pass through it, their bodies are almost pressed against it and they have to crawl through the hole like some kind of insect.

The fishy smell of earth and the feeling of warmth and moisture fill the narrow cavity, making people just move forward without knowing how long they have been climbing

After a while, I felt the presence of airflow, and a moist smell poured into my nose. The outline of a room appeared at the end of the passage in front of me, and the softness under me turned into hard cement. When I reached the hole on this side, I stopped.

Next.

Zhang Lingjun did not come out first, but checked the situation outside.

This seems to be a morgue, a small room of 20 to 30 square meters. The largest space in the room is a pool covered with tiles. There is water in the pool, and there is a corpse half lying on it.

A corpse from decades ago.

The clothes worn by the corpse were yellow-green military uniforms, with designs clearly from decades ago.

To be precise, it is the unique and inappropriate characteristics of mass-produced uniforms in backward areas decades ago. It is not the superficial, irregular workmanship, completely ignored tailoring and aesthetics shown in the TV series.

With the hand-sewn stars, you can tell at a glance that this is a real antique.

The strange thing is that this corpse from decades ago is still lifelike, truly lifelike. You can see the fullness of the face, which makes people wonder if it is still elastic. You can also see the appearance of the deceased, and his age, he was about 20 years old.

The male is thin and has obvious Southeast Asian characteristics on his body and face.

If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were black and empty, as if they had been dug out, and there was a white mushroom growing out of the eyes on half of his face, we would really wonder if this guy was just sleeping, saying that he had just died and been moved here.

No problem at all.

Zhang Lingjun had previously inspected the first level of the charnel house. Those corpses from more than ten years ago, even if they were soaked in a pool of formalin, were still in disgraceful condition. Different changes occurred over time, and they were completely soaked.

It no longer looks normal and has an unspeakable stench.

It's really weird compared to this.

Are these the same batch of corpses received from Cambodia?

Seeing that there was no other person in the room, Zhang Lingjun carefully climbed out without making any noise. He did not rush to find Yang Mu, but came to the pool and next to the body.

With closer observation, more details are discovered.

The water in the pool was not formalin, nor was it water or any liquid, but a solidified...like wax. The corpse was like a wick, with most of the body frozen in wax, and the skin on the exposed body was frozen.

There is also a layer of wax.

Is this why the body does not rot?

Zhang Lingjun touched the mushroom in the eye socket of the corpse. What is going on?

After thinking about it, I suddenly discovered that in addition to this mushroom, there were some black plaques attached to the skin surface of the corpse, which looked like capillaries and showed a certain regular concentric circle shape in some places.

Hmm...these things look familiar?

Zhang Lingjun reached out and touched it. It felt slightly hard, like the kind of fungal plaque that can often be seen. There are such things in many places in Xiacheng District. They were found in the rental house at home and where Ruan Xing lived. They were found everywhere.

Yes.

Has this place been invaded too?

Remember that as long as this kind of plaque appears, it will continue to spread to the surroundings.

Zhang Lingjun checked the clothes on the corpse, and found that there were indeed mold spots on them, with regular concentric rings in some places, and they were also stained with wax, and they were not rotten at all.

Then during the inspection, I found that there were still cigarettes in the pocket of my clothes. When I opened it, I found that unexpectedly, there were mold spots on the cigarette box and the cigarette rolls, and they were also not rotten.

When the body was brought to the charnel house, not only did it take off its clothes, but it even left half a pack of cigarettes. It was sent to the charnel house to see if it was a little too hasty. Are you worried about something?

Suddenly, Zhang Lingjun seemed to have thought of something, and quickly grabbed the clothes to pull up the body, and then found that the body was motionless.

I almost forgot the wax seal...

So I jumped into the pool, stood on the wax, and peeled off the clothes forcibly. As a soldier, he might have weapons on his body.

Since there is even smoke, it is not impossible that weapons exist. If they can be found, then safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Fortunately, the wax was not very hard. After some tearing, a knife was finally found in the abdomen. A dagger was inserted deep into the abdomen and was never pulled out. This may be the cause of death.

Zhang Lingjun took it out and found that it was just like the corpse and the half pack of cigarettes. It had not decayed or rusted for more than 20 years.

At the same time, there is a layer of concentric bacterial plaque crawling on the surface, and a layer of wax is attached to it.

I wonder if these attachments have any impact on the function of Fengrui? In any case, it is better than empty-handed.

Holding the dagger tightly, he walked towards the door.

Just as he was about to push the door open, Zhang Lingjun suddenly spotted some strange plaques and moss crawling on the wooden door. They also found some black ones, showing some regularity. The layers looked like concentric rings.

The wooden door also shows no signs of decay, but unlike before, there is no wax on the door.

Hmm... The corpse's incorruptibility is not due to wax, but to the influence of the mildew? Is it because of some kind of symbiosis with the fungus?

But in the outside world, the plaques we see in daily life do not show the results here.

Zhang Lingjun was thinking about the information related to this. In his memory, this kind of plaque did not always exist, but only appeared in the past few years.

Experts say this is an invasion of a certain mushroom fungus from Africa, saying that according to the investigation, no impact on the ecology has been found yet.

Although it may not seem that simple at the moment, experts are indeed experts.

But it really has no impact on the outside world.

Is it only in a specific environment, or does it have to be affected by certain factors, or can it be controlled?
