Chapter 262 The Weird Corpse
I wanted to ask Xiao Lei something, but I opened my mouth a few times, but nothing came out. At this moment, Xiao Lei suddenly said to me without turning his head: "Xiao Ming, look at this person standing above. The old lady is actually a corpse."
It's a corpse. How can it be so lifelike? It's almost like a living person. Especially on her face, there is a weird smile. How can there be a smile on the face of a dead person? This is too rare. Because when people die .It’s usually painful. How can I still laugh?
But when I was young, I heard my grandpa say that people who freeze to death often have a smile on their face. Later, after checking the book, I learned that my grandpa's statement is very scientific... because When people are exposed to extremely low temperatures, they feel extremely uncomfortable at first. But over time, when they are on the verge of death, they will have hallucinations. This kind of hallucination often makes them feel that they are warming themselves up, and a smile will appear on their face. Come.
But it's so scary to see dead people smiling.
I asked Xiao Lei with a trembling voice: "This cave cannot be entered by ordinary people. How could such a strange corpse appear?" Xiao Lei pondered for a moment, and then said quietly: "Could this be the Zhang family?" He seemed to be talking to himself, or to me, but I heard it clearly. When he said this, I felt like I had an enlightenment... Yes, this cave was originally Zhang's tomb. Ah. Why didn't I think of this?
But even if the strange corpse above is Zhang's, then why was she buried in such a strange posture?
I mustered up the courage to take a few glances at the corpse on the rock wall, but I still didn't dare to look at the weird face of the corpse. Under the illumination of a strong flashlight, the clothes on this weird corpse looked very bright and new. If it is really Zhang, he has been dead for three hundred years. Not only has the body not decayed, but the shroud on his body is also so new. It is really incredible. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is not surprising. Because The environment of this cave is really special.
Even the corpses of the Qin Dynasty could turn into zombie-like things under the influence of the special yin and yang energy in the cave. They could also kill people. Not to mention the old lady Zhang who had just died for more than three hundred years.
Just when I was in a daze and at a loss, I suddenly heard Xiao Lei shouting hastily: "Xiao Ming, look quickly. The smile on the dead body's face is gone."
Hearing what Xiao Lei said, I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body. I glanced at the face of the dead body as if reflexively... Oh my god. Sure enough, the smile on the face of the dead body had long since disappeared. It was replaced by With an angry look on her face, only her big, lifeless eyes were still looking straight into the distance. Is she not dead?
But that weird face paired with this shroud was really terrifying. I quickly lowered my head, not wanting to take another look.
I couldn't care too much now. I immediately walked from the dark hiding place to Xiao Lei and whispered in his ear with a trembling voice: "Is she still alive?"
"No. Look, the corpse's nose and mouth are covered with a dense spider web. I observed it carefully for a long time. Not only did the spider web not tremble at all, but there were also small spiders that got into the corpse's nose. "If she is really alive, she must be breathing, so the spider web must tremble. And if a spider gets into her nose, there will be no reaction for a living person."
Xiao Lei said so calmly, but what I heard made my hair stand on end. And a little disgusting. But I never wanted to see the face of the corpse again. But according to Xiao Lei's description, this old lady should indeed be dead. Then her face Why can his expression change? Could it be that he turned into something like a zombie like those ancient corpses of the Qin Dynasty that killed people?
But I remember my cousin said that this kind of zombie-like corpse affected by the special yin and yang energy has no expression. But what happened to this old lady?
Xiao Lei seemed to have remembered something. He picked up a half-egg-sized stone from the side and lightly threw it at the weird corpse. I could tell that Xiao Lei didn't use much force.
Out of curiosity, I temporarily forgot my fear. I looked along the direction of the throwing stone. The stone hit the corpse's nose and mouth without any bias. That is, at the moment when it hit the mouth, I seemed to hear vaguely. There was a sound of "Ah". The sound was not loud. It was vague. I'm not sure if it was my imagination.
But what I can be sure of is that the originally sallow, wrinkled face turned into an expression of pain. And then, what was even more horrifying was that a red liquid flowed out of the corpse's nose... Oh my God. .could that be blood...
I looked at Xiao Lei next to me. He also had a surprised look on his face. Neither of us could understand what we saw. It was too contradictory and weird.
I stood there in shock. Because I had seen so many incomprehensible but horrifying scenes in a short period of time. I felt like I was shocked and my mind was a little numb.
Xiao Lei's state is very different from mine. Although he is also surprised by everything in front of him, he still maintains a high degree of vigilance. He is always paying attention to everything around him, and he will look at the corpse worm in the bottle from time to time. As long as the color of the corpse worm in this bottle changes, it means that Blind Man Gao is around. Therefore, with this "magic weapon", Blind Man Gao can't even think of attacking us. It's rare that Xiao Lei can maintain this kind of behavior under such circumstances. Sober vigilance.
At the critical moment, I feel that my psychological quality is still not good. Once I am frightened, my thinking and reaction will be seriously affected. Alas, I still have to learn more like Xiao Lei.
When I was thinking wildly, suddenly, Xiao Lei exclaimed again: "Xiao Ming, look at the corpse worms in the bottle." His words made me feel excited. I quickly lowered my head and looked down. I saw the most amazing scene in my life. ..
Under the illumination of the flashlight, I saw the maggot-like corpse worms in the bottle. They seemed to be stimulated by something. Their bodies were twisting extremely violently. Some even bounced their whole bodies. For a moment, there was something like The beans were fried in the pot, crackling and popping. After about a minute or so, the skin of some corpse worms slowly hardened and turned yellow.
"Are these corpse bugs turning into pupae?" Xiao Lei reminded me. Then I suddenly realized... Yes, they are turning into pupae.
After the maggots turn into pupae, they turn into flies. I don’t know what the corpse bugs will turn into after turning into pupae. We both held our breaths and watched intently to see what strange things would happen next.
The transformation speed of these corpse insects is extremely fast. I suddenly feel like watching a science and education movie. In those movies, whether it is the process of flower blooming or the growth process of insects, they are all presented with fast movements. Now Have that feeling.
At this time, in just two or three minutes, several corpse worms have completely turned into pupae. And other corpse worms are also undergoing the same change, just a little slower. Some have already half turned into pupae. .Some have just begun to change.
In this small glass bottle, the most incredible biological changes are taking place. It would be great if Sister Li's cousin, the microbiologist Yang Hui, were here. He might be able to explain what happened. thing.
Next, those corpse insects that were the first to turn into pupae underwent even more wonderful changes.
Their pupal bodies were trembling slightly, and the trembling was getting worse and worse. At this time, Xiaolei and I couldn't help but open our eyes and mouths. We didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing any detail. I have a very complicated mood, wondering what weird things will crawl out of these chrysalis.
Suddenly, the pupa that shook the most violently finally cracked a gap. Xiao Lei gently placed the bottle on a flat stone, and then shined a flashlight on the bottle. Both of us couldn't help but bend down and lower our heads. Our eyes were almost touching. On the bottle. Look carefully at what crawled out of the cracked pupa.
On the pupa, the cracks are getting bigger and bigger. Something slowly pokes out from the inside. Under the dazzling bright flashlight, we can clearly see that something that surprised us... first emerged from the shell. The thing that poked out was only the size of a fingernail. But what was creepy was that this fingernail-sized thing actually had facial features similar to those of a human.
Although I have heard of "human-faced bugs" before, I even saw one of the largest corpse bugs from a Feng Shui master. It had the same "facial features" as a human... but the "facial features" were still not very clear.
But today, at such a close distance, we actually saw something so clear and like a human face. The shock is really hard to express in words.
Then, the crack continued to open, and the little "face" was completely squeezed out of the pupa shell. Then came the body. When the pupa shell completely cracked, the two of us could see clearly what was coming out. What... is a weird flying insect with butterfly-like wings, but a "human face" on its head. Its body is like a dragonfly, but its wings are as colorful as a butterfly. Plus that weird face .It makes people shudder.
After this strange thing crawled out of the pupa, it flapped its wings a few times, but it probably didn't fly because its wings were too tender. But it didn't seem to be discouraged. Instead, it flapped its wings even more violently. Soon, it It flew up in the bottle, flying faster and faster, and even flew to the wall of the bottle. It lay there, looking at us both with its ugly and strange face through the glass.
I was so frightened that I quickly retreated, not daring to look face to face with it. However, Xiao Lei was not affected at all. He still leaned over and observed carefully.
Grandma. What kind of monster is this?
