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

Chapter 174 Doubt

When the expeditionary force retreated to the north, the team was quite large, and then gradually died and almost wiped out the entire army.In this process, the living, out of mourning for their comrades-in-arms and the dead, often pile up the corpses in one place. After the victory of the first phase of the war, these bones can be transported back to their own land without having to be transported back to their hometown.

During the Anti-Japanese War, there were many such corpses or pits all over the country.

I also read a report before that when a construction site was digging the foundation, a corpse pit full of bones was dug out. The location of the corpse pit was gradually considered forgotten, so in the end, waiting for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the original intention of returning the bones to their homeland was not realized.

The unique environment here, or feng shui, made many corpses not completely decomposed, and even turned into corpses. At night, when they felt the yang energy of living people, they would come out to cause trouble.Those sticky things on it may be the fat secreted by the corpse.

Zhou Xuanye told me that the old corpse oil, even if soaked in hot water, is difficult to melt away.

At first glance, it seemed that there was no end to the pile of corpses. After the rain, the earth's air evaporated, making the smell of corpses even stronger.I don't have a gas mask on.After wearing this thing for a long time, sometimes I feel that my face doesn't look like my own.

Zhou Xuanye also put on a gas mask, climbed up a nearby big tree, and observed the pile of corpses with a telescope.

I felt puzzled in my heart, could it be that he thought he could find Tan Ren here?

Why are there so many pieces of meat in this corpse?
I can understand the meat of wild beasts. Maybe some wild beasts entered the corpse place by mistake and were torn into pieces by the deceitful hairy corpses, but how did those human flesh come from?

Just when I was wondering, Zhou Xuanye suddenly said: "I found it." He looked at the telescope and looked to the east, apparently found something.Immediately afterwards, he got off the tree and gestured to me to follow him.

Then, he lifted his foot and stepped directly into the corpse.

I quickly followed up.

The feeling of walking on the corpses is not good, not to mention slippery when stepping on it, and the soil quality is different, some places are hard, some places are soft.It is easy to fall on the hard place, but when you step on the soft place, most of the instep sinks in.

My shoes are Gao Bang's outdoor waterproof boots. The quality is very good, but they can't withstand a month of tempering in the tropical rainforest. They are a bit loose, especially the inside of the foot pads.It is full of potholes, and there is a feeling that it will die heroically at any time.

Neither of us wanted to drop a piece of shit in the corpse field, so we walked very carefully.The closer you get to the corpse, the more things you can see.In some soil, you can see exposed white bones, and some corpses have not rotted, showing a hand like dry bacon, stretching greasy to the sky.

Some corpses were completely exposed, and their shapes were distorted and half-sinked in the soil.

These are nothing, what is really scary is that every once in a while, you can see some holes in the corpse ground.That thing looks like a corpse hole at first glance, and it is obvious that there are hairy corpses 'living' in it.

It's getting dark.

Once the night falls completely, these hairy corpses living in the cave will crawl out of it. Just thinking about that scene makes one's scalp tingle.

I was in a hurry, but Zhou Xuanye was still not in a hurry, as if he was not worried about a hairy corpse coming out of the hole.After a while, we walked to the center of the corpse area, and more and more corpses were exposed. The strangest thing is that there is no sign of hair growing on these corpses, that is to say, they have not undergone corpse changes .But the soil around them showed signs of being turned over.

Obviously, these corpses were dug out of the soil artificially.

This is nothing, the most frightening thing is that these corpses still have traces of being bitten.At first glance, I thought that these corpses were pulled out by wild beasts and gnawed, but after careful observation, the bite marks on the corpses were not beasts, but they seemed to be bitten by people.

Could it be that someone dug up these corpses and was still biting their flesh?
Who would be so perverted?
Even savages don't have the habit of eating corpses, do they?

Just when I was shocked and guessed frequently in my heart, Zhou Xuanye suddenly exclaimed, and before I could react, a black figure rushed out from the darkness.The light was too dim, and I could see clearly what the black shadow was, and I was pressed to the ground by it. '

This push turned my face down, and my face was smeared with corpse oil. I only felt a pair of hands pressing down on my shoulders, and a heavy thing was pressing on my back.At this moment, I realized that what was holding me down was not a beast, but a human being!
Could it be the one who bit the corpse?

This realization made me feel extremely horrified, and I struggled vigorously immediately. The whole process happened in an instant. !
But this bite calmed me down. I no longer struggled, but immediately touched the gun in my pocket with my hands.Just when I took out the gun and was about to shoot something on my back with my backhand, a hand suddenly hit me heavily on the back of my neck.

The back of the neck is the place where human nerves gather. With this blow, my whole body felt like an electric shock. All my strength was relieved, and the gun in my hand fell directly to the ground.

Who is hitting me?
You know, the person lying on my back has both hands on my shoulders, but where did the third hand that stretched out and hit my neck come from?

A person can't have three hands, can he?
I subconsciously looked at the position where Zhou Xuanye was before, but found that the person was gone, only the ghost sword was stuck on the ground, and then I lost consciousness, because the extra hand struck again , This time I was dizzy directly.

And the moment I passed out, my neck was still bitten by that monster-like person. I felt that the other person was sucking my blood, sucking heavily. At this moment, I felt that I might really die.With such a blood loss, if it continues to suck like this, I will definitely not be able to wake up.

So, when I actually woke up and found that I was still alive, don't mention how I felt.

My first reaction was to touch my neck, and immediately felt a circle of gauze.

At the same time, what I saw was a tent, and a bonfire was rising outside the tent, and the orange fire light came in through the tent.There were two other figures on the tent.

two?

I froze for a moment, sat up suddenly, and felt dizzy for a while.

Not caring too much, I opened the zipper of the tent, looked out, and saw that it was Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye, who were cooking water on a fire.

"Boss." I called subconsciously, but I wondered if I was dreaming.Why would he be in the tent when he woke up, and why would Tan Ren suddenly appear?

As soon as the sound came out, Zhou Xuanye immediately said: "You're awake, that's great. You've been in a coma for a whole day, hurry up and drink water." At this moment, Zhou Xuanye's complexion was as usual, and he was still as eccentric as before I passed out.

I wondered even more if I was dreaming, and couldn't help pinching my leg hard, it really hurt.

The pain made my brain clearer, I climbed out of the tent, sat by the fire, looked at Zhou Xuanye and Tan Ren, and said, "What's going on?"

Tan Ren didn't make a sound, Zhou Xuanye said: "You were bitten by a hairy corpse."

A hairy corpse?
Is there really only one?

In other words, it was really the hairy corpse that threw me down?

I recalled that the hand holding my shoulder didn't have sharp claws. Most importantly, even if it was a hairy corpse, it was impossible to have three hands, let alone know how to hit people's necks!Thinking about it this way, I asked directly, and at the end, I said, "Boss, are you sure it's really a hairy corpse?"

Where was Zhou Xuanye when I was thrown down?

After I finished speaking, Zhou Xuanye showed a look of astonishment, and said: "What are you talking about? Where is the third hand? After you were bitten by the hairy corpse, you passed out immediately. I saved you."

Before that, I trusted Zhou Xuanye a lot, but for some reason, I don't think his explanation is so credible now, but I didn't continue to ask, but looked at Tan Ren: "Then what about you? You Where has it been all this time?"

Tan Ren said without changing his face: "After being separated, I went back to that cliff to look for you. I couldn't find you, and then I thought you were captured by the savages in this area, so I looked around."

I feel chills in my heart. I don't believe what Tan Ren said, but there is one premise missing.

That is, although the two bosses are nice to me, after all, I haven't been with them for a long time, so how can I compare to their years of brotherhood?After Zhou Xuanye disappeared at that time, with the relationship between Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye, Tan Ren would definitely try to find Zhou Xuanye.

Before Zhou Xuanye found it, it was impossible for him to give up halfway and come back to find me instead.

I still have this self-knowledge, so Tan Ren's words are obviously lying to me.

I touched my face, and there was a faint guess in my heart, but I felt it was too unbelievable, and I even despised myself a little, how could such dark thoughts come up.

In the end, I decided to play dumb. Now that we are still in the dangerous jungle, it is useless to say more. No matter what, we will wait until we return to Shenzhen.

Suppressing the strong distrust in my heart, I smiled and said, "It turns out that this is the case. The boss and I were so worried. You don't know, after you disappeared, the boss became very irritable, and I suffered every day. scold."

Zhou Xuanye laughed loudly, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "You boy, don't hold grudges, can you? Your boss's boss's call sounds weird to me, and you don't plan to recognize me as a brother? In a hurry, I said some nonsense, if you feel uneasy, hit me, I won't fight back."

I rubbed my hands together and said, "Won't wages be deducted after the beating?"

Tan Ren said: "I'm the master, I won't buckle it." Immediately, I was not polite, pressed Zhou Xuanye and beat him up.

The three of them acted as if nothing had happened, and the atmosphere became the same as usual, but probably only I knew that the seeds of doubt and distrust in my heart were constantly growing.

Zhou Xuanye changed his face too quickly, and Tan Ren's lies, what are they covering up?
