Zombies take me as air

Chapter 311 Weird Corpse

Half-corpse people like to hide underground, so Kong Qi guessed that there might be buildings built by workers underground.

The two donkeys led them to search for a long time, and found a hole in the middle of two stone mountains.

Of course, the entrance of the cave is not on the mountain, it is a solid earth cave inside.

The second donkey sniffed at the edge of the hole, then turned to look at Kong Qi, and patted the ground with its paw, as if to say 'this is it'.

"There are no animals around here." Lu Xiangbei paid attention to this when he came here.

"Then this is most likely." Kong Qi squatted beside the hole, and turned on the flashlight to shine down.

Below the soil hole is a slope with scratches left by someone scratching and climbing.

"I said, shall we go in?" Meng Boyi has experienced ups and downs in her life, and now her mood has changed drastically. She is wearing an outdoor adventure suit, with a gun on her waist, her eyes are a bit fierce when she frowns, and her voice is no longer soft. Slender, a little gangster.

"Come in, I'll take the lead, you guys are behind, so that I can respond in time if there is an emergency." In fact, in simple terms, she moved people into the space to hide when she was in danger.

She untied the climbing rope and tied it around her waist, and wrapped the rope around the arms of the other three people. The four of them were connected to one rope like grasshoppers.

With this connection, Kong Qi can instantly bring the rope and the person into the space.

They put knee pads on the knees, the patient's knees were worn out, and they had been prepared to crawl through the tunnels before they came.

Kong Qi took the lead and climbed into the soil hole first. The inside was a little more spacious than she imagined, but she definitely couldn't stand up and walk.

She still had a flashlight tied around her waist. Following the light of the flashlight, she could see that there was no fork in the road ahead of the cave, and it was a straight tunnel.

"It was dug from the inside out." Lu Xiangbei distinguished the excavation marks on both sides of the tunnel, and looked at the direction of the shovel, it was dug from the inside out.

"Could it be that patient who dug it?" Kong Qi looked at the man's condition, if it was dug by someone else, he might not be able to find it.

"Could it be possible to dig such a long tunnel while insane?" Meng Boyi expressed doubts.

Except for the short section of steep slope that just entered, the rest of the road has a relatively small slope. Kong Qi climbed forward quickly, but Meng Boyi who was behind couldn't bear it, so she tugged on the rope to signal her to stop for a while.

After she got the zombie virus, her physical strength became stronger, and she almost forgot that there was a physical gap between her and Meng Boyi.

They rested in the tunnel three times before climbing to the end. There was a disgusting smell near the exit. Kong Qi was familiar with the smell, it was the smell of rotting corpses.

Kong Qi felt that they would have to hide in the space and then show up. The situation outside is unknown, so what should they do if they go out and get blocked?
She has used space to save people a few times before, and she disguised the entrance to the new world, so that people in the space cannot see that there is an entrance above their heads.

"Let's go into the space." She confessed in a low voice, and then brought the rope and the person connected by the rope into the space.

There were only some sundries and meteorites in the space, neither Meng Boyi nor her little brother showed any surprise.

They continued to follow Kong Qi, and there was a big pit outside the tunnel, and the bottom of the pit was full of brainless corpses.

Judging by the degree of decay of the corpse, it should have been a long time since a fresh corpse was thrown in.

This is the place where half-corpse people throw 'kitchen waste'. Digging tunnels in mass graves can indeed solve the problem of dumping soil.

The soil dug from the tunnels is scattered in the pits, where it is not easy to be found.

But to dig a tunnel in such a place, the psychological quality must be very good.

The bottom of the pit was full of worms, and Kong Qi didn't know what kind of worms they were, they didn't look like maggots.

If there is no room for a 'bridge', they have to jump to the bottom of the pit before climbing up when they come out of the tunnel. For feet.

Fortunately, they have space, so they don't need to go into the corpse pit and then climb up.

The entrance of the tunnel was at the height of the middle of the pit. They walked to the middle of the opposite pit wall. Kong Qi found the right place to step on, and then appeared and climbed out of the pit.

When she comes up, it means that others are also coming up.

And she can only come to the opposite side, because the pit is a semicircle, and the entrance of the tunnel is at the end of the diameter, but above the tunnel is a rocky mountain, and the shape of the mountain and the pit is a bit like a backboard and a basket.

They couldn't hit the 'board', so they landed from the side of the 'basket'.

On the top of the pit, Kong Qi was not in a hurry to move Lu Xiangbei and the others out, because she was not sure if there were half-corpse people nearby.

The three people in the space are quite human, if they don't want to be exposed, they'd better stay inside for a while.

This underground space is like an underground cave, and also like an underground 'big bubble'.

Kong Qi stood and listened, but the surroundings were dead silent, there was no sound at all.

When the half-corpse people lived in the city, they had talking and noisy noises just like ordinary people, but there was no sound at all here.

She walked forward because there was only one road in front of her, a natural 'subway tunnel'.

She walked into the tunnel, which was dark and damp, with a white mist of moisture.

Lu Xiangbei reminded her to be careful in the space, he wanted to go out with her, but Kong Qi didn't let him out.

There is really something, she is afraid that it will be too late to react, this underground tunnel gives her the feeling that it is more terrifying than the zombie siege.

"Are you afraid of the dark, my Qi?" When Lu Boyi saw Kong Qi in the past, she always looked like she was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but in this underground tunnel, Kong Qi moved as fast as a snail.

But when climbing the tunnel, Kong Qi was like a soil mouse. The environment was dark and stuffy, and she was not afraid or showed symptoms of claustrophobia.

"I don't know. There seems to be something here that makes me very uncomfortable." Kong Qi is not afraid of the dark. Before the disaster, every time she worked overtime until late at night, she would go home alone. She didn't want to work overtime so late, and her colleagues thought that She is afraid of the dark and dare not walk at night.

In fact, she is afraid of being robbed. What she is afraid of is people, not darkness.

Passing through the deep tunnel, a small city appeared before their eyes.

It's not an ancient city, but it's not the current city either. These houses look like they were in the 5s and 60s.

The small town is not big, but it is actually like a small town. The water vapor in the tunnel wraps the small town.

"Like a mirage." Meng Boyi whispered.

"I'll go in and have a look, come out if there are no half-corpse people."

"Don't go, go back and bring more people." Lu Xiangbei also felt that this place was weird, and he didn't want Kong Qi to enter the city full of water.

There was no light at all, and even when the half-corpse was sleeping, the stronghold would not be completely dark.

"No, don't ask anyone to come, I feel very flustered, I have to go in and have a look." Kong Qi couldn't describe her feeling at the moment, fear and excitement at the same time, this emotion was beyond her control and could not be suppressed.

It seemed that there was some danger waiting for her ahead, and she wanted to meet this danger very much.

Her words contradicted herself, and Meng Boyi was confused.

But Kong Qi has already walked towards the small town. The small town has no walls or gates, it only has one main road.

The entrance of the main road is naturally the 'gate' into the city, and Kong Qi stepped on the stone road that has been cracked into a 'net'.

The tunnel they came in was dug by living people, and it was definitely not the right way to enter the city.

Meng Boyi became tense in the space, she could see the outside environment, it felt like watching a holographic movie.

The second donkey wandered around in the space and seemed to want to go out, but it didn't bark.

The buildings along the street were dilapidated, and some houses were half collapsed. Even if there were some houses that didn't collapse, no one would dare to live in them.

Kong Qi walked towards the city, and when she got to the center of the city, she saw more than a dozen tents.

Among them are three four-person tents, and the rest are all eight-person tents.

In other words, at least more than 100 corpses have been stationed here.

At this time the tent was empty, the half-corpse man was nowhere to be seen, and the folding tables and chairs placed at the entrance of the tent were covered in dust.

"They evacuated? Dust is everywhere." Meng Boyi could also see the dust on the tables and chairs in the space.

Kong Qi walked around the tent area and walked forward, which was the exit of the small town, where she saw a truck.

It's a new truck, it shouldn't belong to this small town, it's driven in by half-corpse people.

"Sure enough, there is a big road to come in." Kong Qi said to herself, walking towards the truck.

There was no dead body in the cab, and the door was open. Kong Qi stepped on the pedal and looked inside the car, and found that the seat was also covered with dust.

The gas tank is full, the car is fine, but it's abandoned, so... she doesn't think the half-corpse is out of here yet.

"There's another car." Lu Xiangbei squatted down to check the traces on the ground, "That car drove away."

Kong Qi shined a flashlight on her feet, and there was indeed a trace of a car parked beside the truck.

The right way in and out of the small town is a concrete road, which has been underground for nearly a hundred years and has already been seriously damaged.

But there is no problem for people walking on it. Kong Qi walked out along this road and found another tunnel.

But this tunnel is man-made, not natural.

She found another car in the tunnel, an air-conditioned bus with dust and mud covering the windows, covering them.

She walked to the side of the car door. The door was open. Did someone want to get out of the car when the car came here?

Thinking this way, she walked to the door and caught sight of the driver.

"Kong Qi!" Lu Xiangbei anxiously called her full name in the space.

Meng Boyi was also taken aback, and even the little brother beside her who was always expressionless widened his eyes slightly.

The driver happened to be sitting sideways. He probably wanted to turn around and get out of the car, but as soon as he turned around, he couldn't move.

He faced the car door, facing the people under the car.

However, he was no longer a living thing, not even half dead.

Some thin vine-like things grew out of his head, and they stretched in all directions, some stuck to the windshield, some stopped at the roof of the car, and some stuck to the door.

Lu Xiangbei called her just now, because he was worried that this thing was still alive and would stick out the door at any time.

"Come in." Lu Xiangbei was terrified. He had never lost his composure when he was on a dangerous mission.

After hearing what he said, Kong Qi hid in the space, and then they walked into the car together.

The inside of the car has turned into a 'forest' of fine vines. The corpses on the seats are all the same as the driver. Sea urchin-shaped fine vines sprout from their minds, extending in all directions, as if they are looking for a way out.

"These are... half-corpse people?" Meng Boyi looked at the strange corpses in the car, and finally understood what Lu Xiangbei meant by 'weird'.

People become zombies because of bacteria or viruses, and why do these half-corpse people become such things?
Meng Boyi knew that none of the people present knew the answer, so she didn't ask.

"It seems that there are still no half-corpse people escaping." Kong Qi got out of the car and walked out of the tunnel.

There is a gate at the end of the tunnel, which is locked from the inside.

Now the door is locked well, which means that no one is going out.

"Unbelievable," she whispered.

"What? Because of those corpses? Indeed, I've never seen such a way of dying, it's even weirder than a person turning into a zombie." Meng Boyi sighed when she heard her say it was incredible.

"No, I'm not talking about the corpse, I'm talking about the patient you picked up."

"Him? What happened to him?"

"The living died here, and the half-corpse died here. He is not only the only survivor among the living, he is the only survivor in the entire stronghold."

"Hiss... that's really the case, this person is not simple."

"You said, he is so strong that he can break the climbing rope, but he is not injured."

"Yeah, it was tied like a crab, and it broke after a few strokes. I suspect that he is a supernatural being, but it's a pity that he is crazy."

"You guys come out first, open the door and go out. I'll go back to the city." Kong Qi moved the three of them out of the space. This way out was fine, but the half-corpse man had a problem with himself, so he didn't insist on getting out.

"You want to find out why they became like this?" Meng Boyi guessed.

"No, I looked through their tents, maybe there are clues about their headquarters, the door is not easy to open, you open the door, I'll go find things." Meng Boyi believed Kong Qi's words, but Lu Xiangbei didn't.

"I'll go with you, it's more efficient for us to split up." Lu Xiangbei walked to Kong Qi's side.

"Okay, be careful." Meng Boyi didn't think much, and the little brother beside her walked to the gate together.

After a long distance, Lu Xiangbei asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"

"The numbers don't match. There are only a few people in the car. Where are the other half-corpse people?" Kong Qi also replied in a low voice.

"They must be dead too. We'd better not get anything that killed them." Of course, Lu Xiangbei would not ignore this detail, but what he was worried about was that they were also contaminated with dangerous substances and turned into half-corpse people.

"Xiangbei, I can't control myself, I'm very excited, I don't know why, I have to go back and take a look."

Hearing what she said, Lu Xiangbei knew why she and Meng Boyi acted separately.

Things that can be perceived by Kong Qi may be similar to meteorites. Both he and the red stones in Kong Qi’s space can absorb meteorites. This scene cannot be seen by others.

Kong Qi was still very cautious, she was afraid that if the thing that made her violent was actually a meteorite, and Lu Xiangbei absorbed all the stones on the spot, then the 'effect' of his converter would not be hidden.

In fact, there is only one road in this underground city, the front leads to the gate, and the back leads to the corpse pit.

If there is a meteorite, it can be seen at a glance, unless the stone is not on the bright side.

They had already walked the way back and forth, and there was nothing on the road, so Kong Qi reckoned that the thing that excited and frightened her must be in the city.
