Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 48 Zombies

At this time, in the team of four, only the only torch in Lao Yangpi's hand was left for lighting. He was walking in the middle holding the torch. I found that Lao Yangpi was much more energetic than before. Maybe it wasn't because he ate too much fish. I thought He shot and saved Ding Sitian in the incineration room. Although this happened with just a few gestures, Fatty and I wouldn't have even blinked when we fired the shot, but to Lao Yangpi, it was equivalent to his victory. He also untied the knot in his heart. It was because of his cowardice that he didn't save his brother. I'm afraid he has been living in the shadow of that incident all these years.

While my thoughts were rising and falling, thinking about Lao Yangpi and the abnormal situations near the crematorium, I followed the crowd forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. I accidentally glanced at the wall. The fat man was carrying Kangxi on his back. Dao walked at the front, followed by Lao Sheeppi who held up the fire for lighting, followed by Ding Sitian, and I walked at the end. The four of them formed a line and walked very compactly. Because the cement pipe used as the sewer was very narrow, the firelight appeared It was much brighter than in the basement. Our figures were clearly reflected on the curved cement wall. As the four of us walked around, the figures on the wall also swayed and undulated, but I found that there were more than four figures on the cement wall. I don’t know why. Since then, there has been a black shadow behind me.

The shadow followed us silently, just at the edge of the range illuminated by the fire. As the old sheepskin moved, the torch was flickered by the airflow, and the last black shadow also dimmed and appeared. I felt numb and felt bad. I was afraid of whatever might happen. It was the ghost in the incineration room who was following me. I didn’t dare to say anything. I slowed down a little and listened to what was going on behind me. But behind me, Apart from a chill that penetrated my heart and lungs, there was no sound at all.

I noticed a shadow on the wall of the cement pipe. I thought to myself, this is really like wearing trousers around my legs, so I followed you here without leaving. But I listened for the movement behind me, but there was no sound. It seemed that there was no one behind us except the four of us. Apart from one more ghost, there is nothing at all.

I didn't dare to act rashly, and I was trying to figure out the ghost's intention. It obviously couldn't kill us directly. What's the reason? It is very likely that Lao Sheepskin's Kangxi sword can really ward off evil spirits. A weapon that has killed people in battle will have a certain evil spirit in it. The more people it kills, the heavier the evil spirit will be on the blade. Although Emperor Kangxi personally led the army to conquer it, he may not have gone into battle. Fighting, but the thing forbidden by the royal family is unusual. The ghost may be a little afraid of this knife, so he indirectly attacks us.

These thoughts flashed through my mind, but I didn't stop walking. I saw that the torch in Lao Sheepskin's hand was about to burn out. If we don't see what happens while there is still light, it will be even more detrimental to us if we continue. Although we were frightened, we had to bite the bullet and look back for a closer look. If we didn't completely get rid of the entanglement of the undead in the incineration room, we might not be able to escape.

I was caught off guard and turned around, expecting to see something. Then I asked the fat man to draw a knife to drive away the ghosts, but unexpectedly, I rushed away. In front of me was only a long, dark drainage pipe. Not to mention ghosts, there were even a woodlouse and a cockroach. There wasn't even a single insect of this kind. The shadows on the wall disappeared almost the moment I turned around, leaving only the smelly air in the darkness.

I looked deep into the drainage pipe, my heart pounding. I could feel that there were indeed a pair of malicious eyes in the invisible darkness. When I looked over there, I felt goosebumps all over my body. A chill ran straight through my chest, but with the light of a torch, there was nothing we could do.

While I was hesitating, Lao Yangpi and the other three were frightened by the sudden movement of me turning around just now. They thought something happened behind them, so they all stopped and looked back. They saw me staring straight at the drain. He was in a daze in the darkness of the ditch, thinking that I was too frightened in the crematorium, so he hurriedly pulled me to ask me what I was doing.

I thought to myself: "If we just found a ghost following us behind us, wouldn't we alert the snake? Why don't we say it for now and just act accordingly." So I just said to everyone: "I haven't seen you after walking in this smelly ditch for a long time. I was a little worried about the exit, so I stopped to check the terrain.”

Ding Sitian comforted me and said: "This drainage pipe is long and deep. There must be many construction facilities on the ground besides the three-story building hiding the crematorium. In that case, there will always be other waterways connected to it. They will all converge in the end. If we keep walking, we will see the exit sooner or later."

I nodded in agreement. Perseverance to the end is victory. I started looking for cattle in the morning, and it has been past midnight. This day has been extremely difficult and long, but if I can't find the exit, I have no time to relax, and I have to be more vigilant. We continued to move forward, so I asked Lao Yangpi to light a new torch, and asked the fat man for the Kangxi Sword. The four of us steeled ourselves and continued to move forward. I still kept my back and paid attention to what was happening behind me at any time and at any time, but along the way , but nothing unusual happened again.

The torch was consumed faster than we expected. If we didn't climb out of the smelly ditch, once the light was gone, there would be no hope of leaving here. We had to move faster. Unexpectedly, not far away, we saw the quilt. A few meters in front of the filled cement pipe wall, there is an iron fence blocking it. The bottom of the iron fence is locked by a big lock. A ball of chains is half-fallen in the water. The iron bars are as thick as eggs. There is a drainage hole above the head. The rectangular iron cover of the hole was too narrow to drill out, and it was locked from the top, making it impossible to push it open from the bottom. Seeing this, our hearts suddenly became cold. This time it was over, and the front was already there. There is nowhere to go.

Lao Yangpi squatted down and touched the black water under the iron gate, and suddenly said happily: "Don't worry, my knife is a royal sword. After so many years, the steel mouth is still so sharp. Although the iron bar can't be cut, the lock The iron chain that fastens the head is soaked in mud and has become rusty and discolored, so what's the difficulty in cutting it off with a knife?"

When I heard this, my heart moved, and I went to check the iron chain locked by the lock. There was no place for a lock on the iron gate. There was only a movable iron bolt on the outside. Maybe it was a temporary chain, so it slipped on the At the bottom, the section that fell into the muddy water has been completely rusted, and the iron chain is much thinner than the iron gate. The Kangxi sword is shaped like a Mongolian long knife. It is a horse-riding weapon with a thick back and a heavy blade. Although it cannot cut iron like mud, , but it was not difficult to cut off the rusty iron chain. They quickly asked Fatty and Ding Sitian to hold the iron chain, and chopped it with the knife. The rusty chain with the thickness of fingers was broken easily, and looked at the blade again. , without any collapse.

Everyone praised the speed of the sword and worked together to push open the iron gate. A few steps ahead, there was another cross passage. One side was too narrow. There were iron gates on the other two sides that could drain water, but they could be opened on our side. It seems that this place already belongs to another different area. After opening the largest iron door, I was not in a hurry to go in. I remembered the feeling of being locked in the incineration room not long ago with no way to go to heaven or earth, and I still feel like it. It makes people scared. Fortunately, it is a crematorium and not a prison. Otherwise, even if there is a drainage hole, people will definitely not be able to get in. It will make you wiser. This time, destroy the gate switch at the door, just in case you can't get out from the front. , and it won’t be a dead end.

After confirming several times that we would definitely not be locked, we stepped inside, but what followed was still a smelly ditch with an endless network of pipes. We felt that the drainage pipes had no end, but in fact they were probably one. This illusion was created due to the rancid and narrow environment, the exhausted body, and the extremely slow walking. After walking for a certain distance, some narrower branch drainage pipes finally began to appear on both sides of the pipe. However, the diameter of these drainage pipes is no more than the size of a basketball. Only rats and mantises can get in. There are also several long and narrow water leaks in the shape of a house, which cannot be drilled by humans. The outside of the pipes are all covered with black paint. It's painted, and I can't tell where it is. I guess not all areas have drainage covers as big as the incineration room.

I walked at the end of the team and didn't pay much attention to the changes in the terrain in the sewer. It was enough to leave these to Ding Sitian and others. I focused all my attention on my back to prevent accidents. At this time, Ding Sitian in front Suddenly stopped, I was unprepared and almost bumped into her. When I took a closer look, it turned out that the fat man and Lao Yangpi in front had stopped. I was about to ask them what happened, but with the help of the torch in the team, As soon as the light came on, it was discovered that there was indeed a reason for everything.

On the wall of the cement pipe very close in front of the fat man, there is a dark ring, which is almost the diameter of the mouth of the water tank. The shape of the ring goes in and out, which is not regular. The gray-white cement wall under the firelight There was such a black circle on the wall, which was particularly conspicuous. As the fire flickered, the dark ring on the cement wall seemed to be squirming slightly. At first glance, the fat man thought it was a black water snake curled up on the wall, and then it stopped. Come down.

I thought it was hard to say whether there were black ones among the water snakes, not to mention how could the water snakes be coiled up in a circle and posted on the wall? Even if the snake is that long, it won't be that thin, and it's even less likely that there are mud earthworms here. But it's not that we saw it wrong. The black ring on the wall is not a trace of mud. It is indeed moving, although the range of movement It's so small that if you don't look carefully, you might miss it and think it's just a circular mark smeared with black mud.

This black ring caught our attention. After we saw clearly that it was definitely not a water snake or centipede coiled in a circle, the four of us took two steps closer and looked at the wall carefully. We couldn't help but feel a tremor all over our bodies. We felt like our scalps were numb. When I got up, there was a circle of cracks in the cement wall. All the cockroaches crawled in and out of it. The small ones were not much bigger than sesame seeds. They were all newly grown cockroaches. This circular crack was used as a nest by them, and they just circled around it. Circle, if you were a little farther away in the dim light of the fire, you would definitely think it was a wriggling black ring on the wall.

Ding Sitian was disgusted by what she saw and wanted to leave immediately. She continued to move forward to find the exit. I held her and said, "The underground waterway is almost like a maze. We can't even identify the direction. We are running out of torches. If we go further, there will be no place." At the end, the circular gap in the wall is so abrupt, it might be a secret passage."

The fat man also said: "That must be the case. You can think of it with your buttocks. How can cracks with such regular shapes appear so easily on cement pipes?" Observing carefully again, I raised my foot, pointed at the middle part of the crack in the cement ring, and kicked it hard, causing countless small cockroaches in the crack to flee.

This cement wall is not too big. The annular gap was cut from the inside, so that the not-so-tight joints were crawling with cockroaches. The cement blocks fell off after being kicked by the fat man, and cockroaches of different sizes were all over the wall. Running around, Lao Sheeppi quickly waved the torch to drive them away. Behind the cement was a low tunnel dug by manpower. The interior had very irregular ups and downs. Only by bending the body with one's knees could one crawl in with all his strength. I was curious. I wanted to know the secret, so I took a torch and went in to explore. The tunnel was only seven or eight meters long. At the end, there was an exit covered by floor tiles. It could be revealed by pushing up. I explored I went out to take a look and found that the exit was under the bed in a room. There were many miscellaneous things in the room.

Ding Sitian and others asked me to come out quickly. I was afraid that she would be worried, so I didn’t have time to take a closer look, so I had to crawl out of the tunnel backwards and told everyone what I saw. After walking in the smelly ditch for a long time, everyone They all felt suffocated and nauseated, and were almost suffocated to death. Since there was a passage leading into a house, it was a good idea to go in and take a breath first, and there seemed to be many useful things in the room. Maybe you could find food and lighting tools. That would give him a little more hope of survival.

At that moment, everyone agreed that I was the first to climb in. At first, I thought this was a prison cell, and the gap in the sewer was used by the prisoners to escape, but when I climbed out of the bed When I poked my head out to take a look, I rejected my own judgment. The prison cell would never be like this. I lifted up the floor tiles and beds above my head, and pulled the other three people up one by one. Everyone raised the fire and looked around, feeling very strange. Surprisingly, although this is a basement, it is obviously equipped with complete ventilation holes and air circulation. There is no chest tightness at all. The room is decorated in a typical European style and even has a decorative fireplace. Although it is in The small room gives people the illusion of being in a foreign land. It is fully equipped with daily necessities, and there are bookshelves full of books on the walls. However, the circuit has long been cut off and the lights are no longer usable.

Ding Sitian saw a decorative candlestick in the room with a few intact candles stuck on it, so she went over to pick it up and put the fire on the torch. Then she looked around curiously while holding the candlestick, and left without knowing it. Entering the outer room, the fat man saw several bottles of foreign wine on the shelf. He was very thirsty, so he took a few sips. Lao Yangpi had never seen the world and didn't know what the fat man was drinking, so he asked me about it. What's in the glass bottle?

I was just about to answer when I heard an exclamation from Ding Sitian who had already walked into the outer room. The three of us heard the sound and rushed over to meet us. When Ding Sitian saw us arriving, she quickly hid behind me in fear. We didn’t need to ask. She also knew that she had seen something shocking and terrifying. She took the candlestick and looked into the room and was shocked.

The fat man still had half a mouthful of foreign wine in his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he spit out all the wine in one gulp: "Why is there a dead monkey here?" Lao Yangpi said in a trembling voice: "You idiot, don't talk nonsense, where is this?" Monkey, there are the most things like this in the barren graves in my hometown in Shaanxi. This is... yes... yes yes..." He was also panicked at this time, and at the end of the sentence he couldn't say "yes".

I saw a tall male corpse sitting on a wooden chair in the outer room. The corpse was wearing a nightgown. It had no moisture on it and had become a zombie. A layer of white feather-like hair grew on the purple skin, and the lower body was covered with white hair. The animal hair is growing, the curly and sharp nails are growing continuously and are bent, the facial features are ferocious, the mouth is open and the eyes are open. Due to the growth of corpse hair after death, the appearance has been unrecognizable.

I said on behalf of Lao Yangpi: "It's a zombie. Don't touch it. If a living person doesn't touch it, it won't be dead." The fat man didn't believe it: "How do you know it's a zombie? Could it be that you can jump up when you touch it? And Are you trying to scare me?"

I only paid attention to the strange corpse in front of me and turned a deaf ear to the fat man's words. I had never seen a zombie with my own eyes before, but it was said to look like this. In the candlelight, I saw on the desk in front of the zombie that there were several yellowed papers full of words. Papers, maybe those papers were written by the corpse before it died, and they might help us escape from here, so I gave the candlestick to the fat man and asked him to hold the light. I covered my mouth and nose and walked carefully in front of the corpse, stretched out my hand. He picked up the pieces of paper and quickly stepped away.

I asked Fatty and Lao Yangpi to keep an eye on the dead bodies and candles. If there was any abnormal movement, I quickly returned to the sewer. Then I lifted up the yellowed paper and took a look. It was all densely packed with Russian. My Russian level was too low, so I had to Let Ding Sitian take a look at what was written. Is there any valuable information in it?

Ding Sitian quickly flipped through a few pages and translated a few sentences for us casually. The more I listened, the more thrilling I became. It turned out that this was a Russian scientist who was under house arrest by the Japanese and was forced to participate in an operation in this secret facility. These letters were his suicide note, which mentioned many unimaginable facts. The Japanese army dug out some incredible things from the Hundred Eyes Cave.

Ding Sitian hadn’t picked up Russian for a long time, so she was inevitably unfamiliar with the last minute reading. It was a little difficult to read this suicide note. I told her not to worry, sit in the back room and read it slowly, and then tell me the details in it if she had an idea. content, and then I discussed with Fatty and Lao Yangpi that the condition of this zombie after death was too strange, and leaving it behind would cause future troubles. If we want to rest here temporarily, it is too scary to guard a dead person, so we might as well If you don't do one thing, you won't stop. Get rid of the body first.
