endless route.

Chapter 12 12. Underground Corpse Lake【For further reading】

The ice reflected the light, shining the dark cave like water patterns. The five people standing on the ice contrasted sharply with the thick ice and the large number of corpses under their feet.

The air is dead.

The crowd was silent.

Zheng Yun breathed heavily and looked at the corpses under his feet, but he couldn't tell how they died.

Some of them wore down anti-freeze suits, and some of them carried diving oxygen tanks. They obviously came here specifically to explore, but they all died here.

What's even more weird is that there are so many corpses in the mine already on the sixth floor. The weirdness of this abandoned mine is deeper than they imagined.

There is a seventh floor below the sixth floor. If the corpses float down as the water recedes, there may still be corpses in the depths, and there will be more corpses as you go down.

This is not the end yet.

The depths may be even more frightening, and they don't know what other weird scenes are waiting for them ahead.

"Are you still leaving?" Sister Wang asked.

"It's already here, let's go." Hu Ruihua glanced at Zheng Yun, who nodded.

"The positioning device has failed. Damona has a strong desire to survive, so she specially found a ventilation pipe that leads directly to the second floor, otherwise the signal will not be transmitted."

Hu Ruihua sighed, after all, it is a human life, and the search and rescue team also depends on their reputation. They have no reason to back down after they have been paid.

The same goes for Zheng Yun.

It is impossible for him to give up.

So a few people continued on the road.

They could only rely on their general memory to keep going to the depths. The whole road was covered with ice, the shallow part was a palm deep, and corpses were everywhere.

There are hundreds of them in total.

They became numb after seeing too much, they just walked forward without saying a word, and didn't look at any corpse pits they encountered, at most they left a mark so as not to get lost.

Go around for a while.

Hu Ruihua raised his mobile phone and said softly to everyone: "There is another signal, just ahead."

The few people were more cautious. After walking forward for a short time, they found a downward mine tunnel, which was half-flooded in ice. The ice layer was nearly two meters deep, and there was less than one meter of space left on the top of the mine tunnel. People could only squat Only then can you go in.

Shine it with a flashlight.

The mine is open, but the height of the ice remains unchanged. The gap left at the top of the downhill mine will become lower and lower. The last few meters are only [-] to [-] centimeters high. You must take off your backpack and move forward against the ice. climb.

Everyone has different expressions.

The stench here is the strongest, and it is probably the smell of rotting corpses.

If you want to lie on your stomach, you will almost be face to face with the corpse below through the ice layer, and if you bow your head, it will be a corpse, unless you lie face up on the ice and slide across.

When the water is too deep, it will not freeze. They can all see that there is running water under the ice layer. If the ice breaks and people fall into it, it will be very dangerous.

And further down is the seventh floor. This height should have entered the white mist. Although the white mist did not diffuse into the mine, Zheng Yun still felt that it was dangerous.

I don't know what's on the other side of the mine. They are limited in their activities in the gap, and they are in a dilemma. If the previous figure returns, they will be able to fight back.

"Come on, I'll come first."

Hu Ruihua drew his gun and got into the gap.

Zheng Yun followed closely behind, and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter. From squatting to crawling, the five moved forward bit by bit between the ice and the rock wall.

Emaciated and retching non-stop.

The tiger cub is about 1.8 meters tall and relatively big. He was so suffocated in this closed space, with his chest stuck to the ice, that he couldn't even raise his head, so he could only make close contact with the corpse under the tip of his nose.

After about 40 meters, the front finally became clear, and everyone entered an open space through the gap.

This seems to be a mine pit in the mining period. The entire space is extremely large and deep, and it is the largest area they have seen since entering the mine.

Zheng Yun looked up.

The ice surface is about five meters away from the dome, and there is a row of extremely deep ventilation holes above the head, the ends of which are wrapped in barbed wire and blocked by several rows of pipes.

It should be here.

The details can be matched.

"What's going on in this icy lake? I really... vomit." Huzi retched in his ears.

Hearing the sound, Zheng Yun looked down at his feet, deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, unable to utter a word.

The bottom of the ice layer is about 1.5 meters deep, and there are iron corridors and fences. If there is no ice barrier, if you walk out of this mine passage, you will step on the corridor.

This iron corridor was built halfway up the mine pit, close to the wall and circled around at the same height. There was a ventilation hole at [-] meters above the head, and a mine pit tens of meters deep below, and it was completely cut off and there was no way to go down.

At this time, the entire deep pit was covered with ice, but because of the depth and temperature of the water, there was turbid water one meter below, like a frozen underground lake.

in this lake.

Bubble a large number of humanoid objects.

The ice layer contained impurities, and the water was turbid, but they could still see a large number of corpses floating densely in the yellowed lake water under the ice layer.

They just stepped on the ice.

Only one meter away from the body.

The flashlight penetrated the ice layer, shooting dark yellow beams of light in the turbid water, and the corpses below were even floating in groups. The picture was indescribably weird.

"What's going on? How come there are so many corpses?" Sister Wang tremblingly looked at the others, her face was drained of blood.

The others were not much better, the emaciated young man had just crawled out, when a face with all the flesh soaked floated in front of him, the black hole staring at him through the ice, he was so scared that he almost peed.

Huzi's arms and legs were trembling, and he dared not look with his eyes closed, but his appetite kept churning, sour water came out, and even Hu Ruihua was trembling.

Zheng Yun also felt a coolness rushing upwards from the tailbone, and it went directly to the scalp one by one, and the whole scalp was cold.

He closed his eyes and took a slow look. He endured the fear and took a closer look. The corpses in the lake were not explorers, but miners, thousands of miners.

Their flesh and blood are almost gone, and the remaining parts are covered with flakes of flesh, but occasionally some people are still wearing clothes, all of which are the same standard miner's uniforms.

Looks like someone from the last century.

At least decades of history.

This place is too weird. This deep pit is like a corpse pit. The roads up and down are cut off. These miners seem to have been deliberately killed here.

"Zheng Yun, Damona is in front, but look what it is." Hu Ruihua said suddenly, his tone was extremely unnatural, and his expression was also very strange.

He shines a flashlight into the depths.

This cave is not only deep and wide, but also extremely long. It is estimated that there are hundreds of meters ahead.

The flashlight beam shines on the dark corner in front of the side, where there is also an iron corridor under the ice, and the mine crossing is next to it, which is the same layout as theirs here.

There was a faint red light coming over there, which was the same as what they saw above. Zheng Yun didn't notice this red light just now, so it should have just turned around.

The target should be right there.

Only after seeing them did they use a red light to call for help.

But the problem was that the red light did not come from the ice surface or the gap at the entrance of the mine, but above the ice surface, which was three meters higher than the ice surface, close to the wall, and directly below a ventilation hole.

Can match.

Combined with what Huzi saw through the wire through the ventilation hole, the target should be lying in seven or eight corpses, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Those three meters were pitch black.

The flashlight can only show outlines.

It looked like they were all dead bodies.

The target was suspected to be lying on a pile of corpses. The corpses were piled up to three meters high on the ice. Only in this way could Huzi's perspective be completely aligned.

After discovering this.

Zheng Yun's back was wet with cold sweat.

Because he realized that this pile of corpses was man-made, even by a group of people.

All the corpses they saw along the way could be understood as being washed together by water, but the one in front of them was an exception, and the water couldn't wash out this shape.

Zheng Yun and Hu Ruihua looked at each other.

This moment should be the most dangerous moment since they left the mine, because there are too many unknown factors.

They didn't know the cause of death of so many corpses, who made the pile of corpses, or why Damona was lying on top of a group of corpses.

Maybe the next moment.

What happened.

They will also become part of the pile of corpses, lying in the depths of this abandoned mine forever, unable to get out again.

"What's the matter?" Huzi didn't understand the situation, looked up, and exclaimed in a low voice after seeing the red light: "That's the red light, the target is there!"

"Are you still alive?" Zheng Yun asked.

"Alive." Hu Ruihua nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's get her back in the past, and the mission will be over." Huzi said puzzled.

"Get it back? Can you go up?" Hu Ruihua looked back at Hu Zi and sighed deeply.

"Can't you go up?" Hu Zi frowned and took a closer look, only to find that the red light was three meters higher than the ice surface, but he still had doubts on his face: "It's only three meters, there is nothing that can't be climbed, even straight walls can go up .”

"What if it's a pile of corpses? Can you still go up? Do you have the courage to climb up?"

Hu Ruihua glanced at Huzi, he was so frightened that his legs went limp and vomited, and Huzi probably joined in on the spot when he climbed up the three-meter pile of corpses.

Huzi shivered.

Three meters is not considered high. Carrying a person back is only a physical effort, but if it is a three-meter-high pile of corpses, it is not only a test of physical strength, but also a test of courage.

If you don't have enough guts, climbing three meters is enough. Even if you close your eyes and grit your teeth, you may not be able to go up in more than ten minutes, let alone bring people back.

Moreover, this matter also tested the ability to respond. Who knows what is there, people are already intimidated, and if something happens, who can react?

"Let's go together?" Sister Wang asked aloud, her expression was extremely bad, but she still made a suggestion.

"Let's go with Zheng Xiaoge." Hu Ruihua waved his hand, and he knew by scanning around that no one else could do the job, only he and Zheng Yun could play.

In case they get paralyzed by fright, they have to carry one more person and walk back, which is meaningless.

"Let's go." Zheng Yun nodded.

He encountered this kind of scene when he first went to sea. He said he was not afraid, but it was a lie, but he still said that he was short of money, and Jiang Meng was still in the hospital. die.

There is only one last step left.

As long as he passes this threshold, he can get a full 100 million, which is almost worth two Jianghe pawn shops.

Before going to sea, he had made mental preparations. As long as he could get the money back, nothing else mattered. There was nothing to be afraid of when people came to this level.

He won't take the 100 million in vain. Since he wants to take the money, he must do it for him!
