The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 147 The Floating Corpse
I turned my head in shock and found that this person was none other than Zhou Xuanye.But he looked too embarrassed, not to mention the black mud and scum all over his body, and there were some scratches on his body, now he was holding Si Gui with one hand, and the equipment on his body was gone, he looked very embarrassed.

I quickly went up to meet him, not to mention how excited I was: "Brother Zhou, you scared me to death, and thought something happened to you." Zhou Xuanye gave up, thrust his right hand into the ground, and Si Guijian was half stuck in the soil , he sat down cross-legged, panting heavily: "Are you coming back to find me?"

I nodded and found that Zhou Xuanye didn't have any serious injuries. He looked so embarrassed now, probably due to excessive physical exertion, but he was alone at this moment, and there was no sign of Tan Ren.As if seeing what I was thinking, Zhou Xuanye pointed to the water flow. At this moment, the purple hair floating there had disappeared, probably drifting into the arched cave with the water flow.

He said: "He fell into the water with Zimao, and I don't know what's going on now."

Song Qiaoming was shocked, looked at the water hole, and said, "Then we have to go in and look for it, but Boss Zhou, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Xuanye coughed, and said: "I was kicked by that purple hair halfway, and I fainted. I just woke up when I heard your voice." He said, looking at the hole where we burned the corpse before, and said : "What are you burning?"

Shunzi was the fastest, and immediately told us about the purple hair we set on fire, I added: "But it's strange, after the burning, there is no residue." Down some black blocks.

Zhou Xuanye told me that the "black lumps" produced by burning hairy corpses are called "corpse chambers" in their jargon, and they are a kind of material for refining corpses. The higher the level, the less the "corpse chambers" See.But at this moment, there is no corpse in the cave.

Zhou Xuanye's expression changed when he heard this, and he said, "That means it didn't catch fire, and it must have made another hole and escaped."

This explanation surprised me, and I couldn't help asking: "Is it a drilling machine? Can it drill holes so fast?" Zhou Xuanye glanced at me. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was very clear. Drilling machines are also powerful things.

All of a sudden, I felt a layer of white sweat on my forehead, and said: "It's over, it's over, will it make holes from other places after a while?"

Brother Yang said: "Then what should we do now?"

Zhou Xuanye looked at the stream of water and said, "The corpse of the earth became stiff in the water, let's go into the water first to find the senior brother."

The weak chicken was a little confused, so: "What, what is the water and what is the stiffness?"

I was worried that the purple hair that was not burned to death by us would come out at any time, so I patted him and said, "Frozen when encountering water! It is said that the dead hair in the soil has the nature of avoiding water." Of course, it does not mean that zombies are afraid of water. In fact, water is divided into yin and yang. Avoid water, under normal circumstances, they will walk around the water, of course, except when they get angry.

Thinking about it, the purple hair must have been extremely powerful last night, and it must be extremely powerful now that it is floating in the water.If Tan Ren really entered that cave, he wondered if he would be drowned by the water.At this time, Song Qiaoming heard that going into the water can avoid corpses, so he immediately asked Shunzi to take out the inflatable cushion.That kind of plastic inflatable cushion is for emergency use. It is only a small piece when it is deflated, and it looks like a Simmons when it is inflated. Due to the hollow design, it is very resistant to cold and is suitable for groups to carry.

Shunzi immediately understood what Song Qiaoming meant, and immediately began to inflate the air cushion. It took only about ten minutes, and the air cushion was half inflated. We pushed it into the water, barely acting as a raft, and then cut a few tree trunks. As a raft, a group of people headed for the arched cave with flashlights.

It was completely night now, and the purple hair from before had never appeared again.When the air raft passed by the purple-haired creature in the water, the light was turned on. When I looked closely, I saw that its body was covered with leeches, which was very disgusting.

The cave is very tall, and there is no obstacle to slide in. The water area in the cave is very wide, and when the light shines through, the surrounding stone walls look strange.Brother Yang seemed to know a lot about geography, and said: "This cave, thousands of years ago, should have been a large water cave, and the surrounding stone walls are the best proof. Later, there must have been a geological movement, the valley sank, and the mountain collapsed. As it rises, more than half of the water hole is exposed."

Shunzi said: "Lao Yang, I don't see that you still have the potential to engage in geology."

Song Qiaoming taught the two of them a few words, telling Shunzi to shut up and focus on finding someone.We waved our flashlights around and called Tan Ren's name, but there was no response.This made me wonder if something really happened to him.Subconsciously, I think Tan Ren won't finish the game so quickly. Last time in Gurbantongte, I thought he was dead several times, isn't he alive and well?What's more, now, the purple hair died first, so Tan Ren should be fine.

This idea was quickly confirmed. When we entered the cave about 100 meters away, we saw a flashlight on the high ground next to the mountain wall.

The flashlight fell to the ground, shining a beam of yellow light.

"Quick, quick, dock." I called Shunzi and the others to put the air raft towards the flashlight.

Our raft is too watery, in order to prevent it from being scratched, so we dare not overfill it with air. When people sit on it, their buttocks sink, and it is even softer when they step on it.In order to maintain balance, we sat three people on each side. We were cautious in our actions, and it was very difficult to paddle.

After a while, the air raft docked, and except for Sunja who stayed on the raft, the rest of us climbed to where the flashlight was.The place was not big, but it was more than enough for a few people to stand. The flashlight lay quietly on it, and there was a wet bag behind it.

It was a small black bag that Tan Ren would bring every time he went on a mission. I opened it and saw that everything was there, but the person was missing.

Everyone stood on a high place, using this as the center point, looking around with a flashlight, trying to find some clues, and soon, a small smear of blood appeared in my sight.The blood was just on the edge of the platform, very thin, a long strip, like the blood that was wiped out when someone slipped down here suddenly.I immediately looked down along the edge, and there was water below, but the height of the water was about one meter, and there were many big rocks and some protruding stone slabs. It should be no problem for people to walk in the water.

A picture appeared in my mind, Tan Ren fell into the water, and then found this place to berth and climbed ashore.He put down his flashlight and bag, and was probably about to wring himself dry, but for some reason, he slipped off the edge of the platform and fell into the water.

There are stones in the water, which will not submerge him, so after falling, Tan Ren should get up immediately.

If it were me, I would naturally climb up the stone platform again after getting up.

But obviously, Tan Ren did not do this.

Obviously, something might have happened at that time, which prevented him from getting up at all.

Thinking of this, I immediately jumped up, and Brother Yang next to me was startled and shouted: "What are you doing!"

This place is not high, after jumping down, I stood firmly in the water.Looking from my angle to the right rear, there are layers of rocks, half of which are in the water, and the other is exposed, completely covering the back, and only when you poke your head out can you see Shunzi floating on the water. .

If Tan Ren didn't get up after falling into the water, then there are only two outcomes. One is that he went into deep water, maybe he wants to swim and keep fit temporarily?Of course, the biggest possibility is the second one, that is, he found something in the water.

At this moment, there is a road hidden in the water under my feet. Of course, this road is intermittent. According to visual inspection, some places have to go halfway, and I have to swim through the water.I told Zhou Xuanye my thoughts, and he pondered, "What you said makes sense, so I will follow your guess and look further." At that moment, we packed up the flashlight and Tan Ren's small bag, and boarded the air raft again. , continue down the most likely route.

Sure enough, we found Tan Ren not far away.

But this discovery is not worthy of our joy, because his whole body is wide open and floating on the water.

Who would float on the water?Dead of course!
I felt as if my heart had been hit hard by an invisible heavy hammer, and I cried out: "Boss!" Immediately afterwards, I didn't care so much, and immediately jumped into the water, facing towards the edge of the stone wall. Tan Ren swam past.
