There are many decayed wooden bed frames placed in the stone hall, which are covered with ten centimeter-thick wooden boards and about one and two meters wide. The distance between the upper and lower bed boards is very wide, with a total of three floors from top to bottom.
Rui could see that the wood of these bed frames were all uniform and neatly arranged, just like the large collective dormitories in the early years that were forced to relocate due to being haunted. There were thousands of them by visual inspection.
This place is already very deep underground, and the stone chamber is extremely cold. A waiter rubbed his arms and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the Zhang Family Ancient Building? Why does it look like this? It looks like Yizhuang in a horror movie.
."
"No." Xie Yuchen took a flashlight and swayed beside one of the wooden beds. There was a strange symbol written in white on the edge of the top bed, followed by a series of numbers.
"103". Looking further down, the number becomes
"1031", the symbol has not changed.
"What is this? It looks like a bed number." When Pan Zi was a soldier, he lived in a large dormitory with hundreds of people, and their names and numbers were written on the bedside.
For example, Li Goudan, who is assigned to the company, has a series of numbers. Rui Jie Yuchen walked to the next bed frame and read it out softly,
"136", the symbols here have changed slightly, and he doesn't recognize it because it doesn't belong to any type of characters he has ever seen.
It looks more like a symbol composed of words.
"This may be a special ideographic mark formulated by the Zhang family themselves." Xie Yuchen said,
"The numbers behind are the numbers of these wooden beds." Jie Sanzang's confusion,
"Could it be that someone has lived here before? That would be too stupid to live in such a spooky and haunted place." Pan Zi wiped a handful of dust on the bottom bunk and put the dust on his fingertips to his nose.
I sniffed it, and my face looked a little ugly.
"It's true that it was lived in by people, but it was lived by people who couldn't breathe." He smelled it on the bed board, and there was a faint smell of corpse mixed in the rotten wood.
"What do you mean?" Ruijie Sanzang was a little frightened.
"Master Pan, are you saying that all the people who lived here before were dead?"
"This is indeed like an ancient version of the morgue. The temperature here is very low, which is indeed suitable for storing corpses." Xie Yuchen slowly analyzed,
"This place may just be a temporary storage place for the bones of the Zhang family when they were buried and moved. Look at the size of these bed boards and bed frames. They are enough to hold a coffin and are easy to move." For a family as large as the Zhang family, it must be
There are many branches, and the special symbol in front of the number is probably what they use to distinguish each branch.
There were no special clues here, so everyone stopped and walked through the rows of wooden bed frames towards the center of the stone palace.
The light in his hand flickered, and Pan Zi suddenly saw a gray figure, and immediately gave a low drink,
"Who is over there?" Everyone suddenly became alert and flashlights shone in. Rui then discovered that there was a large white cloth bag placed on the bed board of a wooden bed at the end of the stone hall.
It looks a lot like a body bag!
"Is there any body left here by the Zhang family that has not been taken away?" someone speculated.
"Go over and have a look." Xie Yuchen raised his chin slightly toward that side. A man walked out of the waiter and cautiously leaned over there.
After walking in, the clerk bravely stepped forward and inspected the white Oxford cloth, which was nearly two meters long and about half a meter wide, from beginning to end to make sure it contained something and was a bit heavy.
The guy poked it tentatively, and his finger felt cold, as if he had poked a piece of bacon with a shriveled skin.
"Boss, there seems to be a dead person inside." Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen subconsciously covered his nose with the back of his hand.
"Open it and take a look." Rui
"Okay." The clerk found the zipper at one end of the bag. The moment he opened it, a strange and indescribable scent came out, like the smell of essential oils from a lit scented candle.
Looking inside again, when he saw the face of the corpse, he was immediately frightened. He came to his senses and jumped away. He pointed at the bag with trembling fingers and shouted: "Oh my god - this, this, this, this."
It’s a rice dumpling!” Not only is it a rice dumpling, it also looks a bit familiar.
These people under Xie Yuchen were not the stupid ones who had gone to the grave for the first time. The sudden reaction made Xie Yuchen have a bad suspicion.
He walked over quickly, turned on the lamp and took a look. When he saw the pale and emaciated corpse inside, his expression suddenly changed.
The waiter stammered on the side: "Boss, this... Huo... why did the Huo family head come here, and she is like this..." Xie Yuchen naturally recognized the body as Huo Xiangu, but he was shocked.
What's strange is that there seems to be some kind of mutation inside Huo Xiangu's bones.
Rui didn't know if it was because she had lost vitality and moisture. Her facial bones seemed to have been elongated, and the muscles all over her body were shriveled, as if she had been hung in the shade to dry.
And the most important thing is that on her skinny and slender neck, she wears a colorful ancient jade ring.
When Pan Zi heard that the waiter said that the person lying in the body bag was Huo Xiangu, he hurriedly went forward to identify it. After looking at it carefully for a while, he connected the body in front of him with the graceful old lady Huo in the photo. Since Huo Xiangu's body is lying here, where did Brother Muyu and the others go? Xie Yuchen put on gloves and briefly inspected the body, and said softly: "Granny Huo died of alkali poisoning, cardiac arrest caused by respiratory failure.
Stop, my lungs are empty." The old lady was already weak, so this cause of death is normal.
"The old lady's body, could it be that Muyu and the others transported it here? After all, this is the Zhang family's morgue, so it is easy to preserve the body." Pan Zi guessed.
Rui
"It's possible." Jie Yuchen sighed. He had a headache. Whoever put the body here gave him a problem. He could already imagine Xiuxiu's collapse after knowing that her grandma was dead.<
/p>
Just as he was about to cover the body, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye. He paused, then reached out and took out a small gray-white cloth bag from under Mrs. Huo's hair.
Open it, and there is a small white porcelain bottle inside, as well as a black flip phone, with a blue jingle cat with arms crossed and a cool expression on the front.
Pan Zi's eyes lit up and he immediately said: "This is Muyu's mobile phone. I saw him using it." At that time, Zhang Zhuoxun went to Changsha to find him, and it was this jingle cat that he took.
"Open it quickly and take a look. The wooden fish must have left us clues inside." He urged in a hurry.
Xie Yuchen took off his gloves and took out his phone. He found that it was turned off. After pressing the power button for more than ten seconds, there was no response. Seeing that the phone was the same style as his own, he took off the back cover and replaced it with the spare battery he had prepared.
.
Rui's screen turned on this time. Xie Yuchen first clicked on the memo, which was blank, then exited and clicked on the photo album, and found several videos in it.
The quality of the video is very unstable. It seems that the mobile phone is used as a camera and was taken on the collar. First, there is a series of scenes of running quickly in the dark green jade veins. The camera is aimed at the front of the line of sight and turns two corners.
A roaring Milotuo suddenly appeared in the camera, and most of its body had been squeezed out of the jade veins.
The video stopped suddenly, and a cold light flashed across the eyes. Milotuo was instantly cut off by his head and most of his body, and the black-haired snake inside was chopped to death.
The owner of the video coughed twice and took a few shallow breaths. After calming down, he continued to walk forward with the knife in his hand. As he walked, he started talking. His voice was a little mixed, but he could barely hear it clearly.
"... Being able to get this mobile phone means that you are indeed following the map I drew and came to a place similar to a morgue..."
"...You should be Jie Yuchen, or Pan Zi, or maybe both of you are here, but it doesn't matter. After all, being able to get the map means that you two are people Wu Xie can trust at this stage." Rui Jie Yuchen said lightly.
He raised his eyebrows and continued reading.
"The location you are currently in is the central hinterland of the mountain set up by the Zhang family, and it is also a temporary shelter."
"As long as you don't go out, this place is safe for the time being. Miluo Tuo can't get in here because the walls are made of volcanic rocks." In the video, Zhang Zhuxun turned around and came to a cave with a slightly larger space.
Put down the backpack, take off the phone and fix it to one side, with the camera facing his side face.
The face that used to be fair and elegant was now smeared with dirt. The collar of the jacket on his body was tightly clasped, and the white cloth was stained with a lot of sticky green water.
Pan Zi knew that Muyu had a mysophobia, and the current situation was obviously so urgent that he didn't even have time to change into clean clothes.
Zhang Zhuxun took out the bomb from his backpack and planted it, and said: "What I am going to say next is a reminder and a warning to you. Whether you believe it or not, the choice is yours." Rui
"You should have checked the condition inside Mrs. Huo's body. This is how the whole body looked like after being hit by Gulou's strong alkali. Because we did not have a direct conflict with the alkali, otherwise the human body would be destroyed in less than thirty seconds.
It burned and fester, and finally the body was corroded by strong alkali and turned into water."
"Don't worry about wearing protective clothing. It's useless. When the alkali gas is at its strongest, the most advanced equipment in the world can only protect it for three minutes. Once the time is up, the alkali poison invades the body and the skin will ulcerate. Breathing
He was exhausted and died after struggling for two minutes, but luckily we found a temporary shelter."
"But that place can only accommodate those of us for about three or four days. During this period, the alkali gas will still seep in slowly. This is how Mrs. Huo died. Her body was too weak, and the effect of the alkali gas on her was fatal.
."
"Actually, you shouldn't have come in. If you come in, you will die. This is a planning mistake on my part. I didn't expect that because there were too many people coming in this time, and there were too many Milotuos, the alkali gas would be released for longer than the budget."
Three times."
"This also means that you are surrounded by Milotuo and can't get in, and we are trapped by the alkali gas and can't get out."
"Even if you come in, you will still be trapped by the alkali gas, which will only increase casualties." Zhang Zhuxun finished planting the bombs and gunpowder, set the time, put on the equipment and got up, pinned the mobile phone to his collar again, and his pace was obviously faster.
.
Ruita was talking to his mobile phone while dealing with the Milotuo that occasionally appeared.
"The one in the old lady's neck is called Shi Yuan. Its function is to prevent the corpse from transforming. Xie Yuchen, you are good at disguise. You must have noticed the changes in the old lady. This is related to the largest tomb robbing activity in Jiumen. All the people involved died.
The corpse will undergo a terrible mutation. In order to ensure that her corpse will not change on the way out, I found a jade ring from an ancient building and put it on her."
"After the old lady died, I took her body and equipment out of the temporary shelter. I was originally going to pick you up, but during the process of traveling through the jade veins, I discovered that there are more dangers in the mountains near the ancient building.
"Miluotuo, there is something more terrifying than Miluotuo, and their only natural enemy is strong alkali."
"Although I'm still not sure what it is, I can feel that they are already targeting me." Zhang Zhuxun's voice suddenly lowered, and in this environment, the terrifying effect doubled.
The countdown of the previously planted bomb ended, and after a loud bang, countless creepy sounds of Milotuo running were heard in the video.
Everyone outside the video was startled, and the picture on the video also fell into darkness at this time.
I thought that the phone fell to the ground and the camera was covered, so the screen went black. However, after waiting for a long time, the video still did not respond. I pressed the start button and found that it started playing again.
Rui
"No more?" Pan Zi said anxiously,
"Master Hua'er, hurry up and play the next one." Xie Yuchen clicked on the second video stored in the album. The first picture was always black, but the sounds of fighting and collision inside could be heard, as well as Milotuo's roar.
The sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
More than halfway through the progress bar, the screen finally changed. Zhang Shuxun picked up the phone from the ground, and Milotuo's body scattered across the screen flashed past the camera.
"...They have already set their sights on me." Zhang Zhuxun planted the bomb, spoke in a low voice, and continued to move forward while avoiding the Milotuo on the ground.
But he didn't say what was targeting him, but from the tone of his words, Xie Yuchen and the others could clearly hear that he was deeply afraid of that unknown thing.
Obviously this
"They" are very, very difficult. Even Zhang Chuxun, who was able to face the siege of Milutuo with ease, thought he could not handle this matter.
"More and more Milotuos are besieging me. That's why they are behind them. They are more like a kind of manipulation at the level of consciousness. I have already been attacked once. They took me deeper into the mountain, where
There is a very, very strange Milotuo. No, it should not be called Miluotuo anymore." Rui
"I speculate that it may be a new species that has evolved and mutated. It is the highest level in this space. It can control all Miloduo. Wherever there are jade veins, there are its eyes."<
/p>
"This is a devouring evolution. It not only eats humans, but also eats the same kind of Milotuo. It moves very fast..."
