Chapter 223 The swamp under the cliff
223 Chapter 223 The swamp under the cliff

After a while, my brother and I returned to the cliff where Wu Xie fell just now, but we didn't see Wen Jin there.

I whispered: "She was afraid that it wouldn't be us two who came back, so she hid first."

The little brother didn't say anything, he helped me over and sat down.

It was pitch black in the woods, and still so silent, as if everything was sleeping.

We had no lighting, let alone a bonfire. The gloomy moonlight shrouded this strange and eerie forest. The towering ancient trees blocked the hazy moonlight and was filled with thick fog, making it even more mysterious and weird. I always feel like there is cold air coming up from my back.

We were all covered in mud, and I couldn’t see clearly what he looked like... Fortunately, he never let go of my hand, which made me feel more at ease. Gradually, I started to doze off again. I poured it on my brother's shoulder. He also felt it and hugged me.

After a while, we heard the sound of "rustling" vegetation. The little brother became alert, and I was suddenly startled. But when I was stunned, I realized that the person coming was Wen Jin, so the little brother relaxed. I also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Jin confirmed that it was the two of us who came back. Then she relaxed and walked back from the darkness and sat next to us.

Wen Jin greeted me, she was still so friendly, and then we sat there quietly. They had decided to lurk, and it seemed that I had to listen to the two leaders.

We were not far from Wu Xie's position, so we had to speak very softly. The little brother hugged me and whispered to me: "If you take a good rest, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have any rest time after this." I behaved obediently. He nodded and then dove into his arms. Thinking about it, it would be very difficult to sit down and rest in a place like this.

I asked softly: "What's under Wen Jin?"

Wen Jin thought for a while and said: "There is a swamp down there, but the things inside..." She didn't say any more and just sighed.

The little brother gently patted my back to coax me to sleep. I closed my eyes and estimated that there must be nothing good down here. Where they came, besides corpses, there were strange creatures. Wen Jin hesitated to speak. The look on it further confirms this. There must be something underneath that is enough to scare me to death. Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, let’s get some sleep.

Wu Xie stayed alone at the bottom of the cliff, always feeling uncomfortable and frightened.

It would have been uncomfortable to be covered in mud, but now his feet were soaked in the mud. What made him feel most uncomfortable was that he remembered that Pan Zi had seen someone soaked in the swamp overnight. The thing about the insect biting the air is terrifying and chilling in my heart just thinking about it.

At this time, he felt that there were really insects eating at his feet in the mud. He was worried and would lift his feet to touch them from time to time. But fortunately, he found that this was just his illusion. This delusion made him even more uneasy.

He tried to climb up as much as possible on the rocks to get his feet out of the water, but he failed every time.

He tried again to find if there was anything under the water that he could rest on, and then he mustered up the courage again, and leaned against the rock wall while his feet kept stepping and exploring in the water.

I thought that if I could step on some branches and debris, I could at least use it to knock down his miner's lamp.

However, as he stepped on it, he suddenly stepped on something, but it was definitely not a branch. He felt the feeling with his heart, and a familiar and fearful feeling emerged spontaneously, and he was frightened in an instant.

That thing was hairy and hairy, and he suddenly felt a thump in his heart, thinking, isn't this the feeling of hair?He immediately pulled his foot back, not daring to stretch it out again.

This was a memory that left him extremely disgusted after returning from Xisha. The nightmare-like existence almost turned into a psychological shadow.

The thing he hates most during this period is wet hair. It used to be so bad that even touching his own hair would make him feel sick.

But when he moved his foot, he kicked something soft. It was obvious that there must be something big buried in the mud...

He cautiously turned on the weak blue light of his watch and shined it under the water. However, the light was only enough to read the values ​​on the watch and could hardly shine into the water. He had to squat down and sink the watch into the water to see.

He didn't know this, and he was shocked when he saw it. At that moment, he was stunned. Under the ghostly blue light of the watch, he saw a person buried in the mud, with hair dancing along the water waves like water plants. ... His hands began to tremble as soon as he moved them. He moved his hands tremblingly and looked at it. He found that there was still a fresh corpse underneath. Although most of it was wrapped in mud, you could still see the clothes he wore. The military uniform looks very similar to Fatty's.

He turned the direction of the watch and reached forward with all his strength. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The mud in front of him was full of dead people. They were all sunk in the mud, and their limbs were intertwined together, like a mass grave after a massacre. .And all of them had just died... He dared to stretch out his hand to pull the corpse in front of him out of the mud. He found that the corpse seemed to be filled with lead and was as heavy as dead. He looked carefully. Looking at the various equipment on that man's waist, they were indeed exactly the same as those of Fatty and Pan Zi.

He suddenly understood what was going on with these people. They were none other than Third Uncle's team!
This corpse has been soaked in water and turned gray, but there is no serious decomposition, so it proves that they died not long ago. However, the corpse was not soaked in muddy water and turned white. Instead, it turned a little blue. This is obviously not true. normal.

When Wen Jin and the younger brother saw that I was asleep, they whispered about the situation below. Wen Jin said to the younger brother: "I have already gone down to take a look. Most of the people in the camp before were down there. They died not long ago." , the snake bite wounds were all on the neck, the tooth holes and the entire neck were black, and the surrounding parts showed a green color. They should have been attacked by a group of cockscomb snakes, and then their bodies were moved to the quagmire below.

But there were no signs of fighting in their entire camp, so I speculated that the snakes might have quietly bit them to death in their sleep. "

The little brother nodded and said: "The venom of these snakes is neurovenom. They crawl very lightly and make almost no sound. I have seen them crawling onto people quietly in the middle of the night. If there hadn't been a little accident that day, we would have We almost didn't realize the snake was already with us.

The venom of this snake is injected into the human body in large amounts. The venom will eventually cause coma, difficulty breathing or even respiratory failure, which is also the reason for their death.

They deliberately took away the corpses and put them all in the swamp below. There must be a purpose. I am afraid that there is a snake nest down here. "

Wen Jin said: "Also, many of the corpses I have seen have large bellies, and they are also very hard, as if there is something inside."

The little brother thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that's the purpose of those snakes taking away the corpses. Their corpses have become containers."

Wu Xie had a huge reaction after seeing these corpses, and his brain was very excited. He didn't know whether these people were the first ones to be involved in the accident, or the third uncle who survived?Is Third Uncle among them?

So what was the cry of the mistress that I heard just now?Couldn't it be that the evil spirit of the guy here guided him here in order for him to discover this place?
The more he thought about it, the bigger his head got. The blue light of the watch also went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness again... He thought to himself, after all, he had touched something, and he had to try to knock down the miner's lamp first, otherwise he would touch the darkness and do nothing. No.

He turned on his watch again and began to touch the pocket of the corpse in front of him. From his trouser pocket, he took out a heavy wallet that had been soaked in water. He weighed it with some weight. Without saying a word, he pointed it toward the light on the stone wall. He threw it, but he didn't hit the target the first time.

He took off the flashlight from the man's belt and threw it away without saying a word. The moment he threw it away, he realized that it was broken, something was wrong. He thought to himself, isn't this a fool? That's a flashlight. I should see if it works first...

But it was too late, the flashlight had already flown out, and he really wanted to slap himself. Fortunately, he succeeded this time. The bush that stuck the miner's lamp was hit like this, and the miner's lamp slipped down and fell into the It sank in the water.

He quickly grabbed the protrusion of the rock with one hand and stretched his hand as hard as he could, but he could barely reach it.He picked up the miner's lamp, but the flashlight was very light and had been washed several meters downstream by the current, and its whereabouts were unknown.

Wu Xie turned on the miner's lamp and looked around. Now he could see the situation here clearly. He found that this was part of the swamp, similar to a circular pool, with the water flowing to one side.

He held up a miner's lamp to shine on the water, and saw that there was a stone ruin with an animal head carved in the direction of the water flowing downstream. The water flowed into the ruins from the open mouth of the animal, so there must be a wellhead below, and it must have been very long in the past. Danger.

Wu Xie began to swim upstream, tied the miner's lamp to his waist, and began to move against the rock wall.

Along the way, where the light of the miner's lamp shines, in the swamp, there are a large number of corpses lying at the bottom of the entire pool. Most of the corpses are sunk in the mud, and some have stiff hands or other parts stretched out.

He avoided the corpses as he walked, but there were too many corpses to escape. The mud on many corpses was washed away by the water he stirred up.

He adjusted the light of the miner's lamp and searched with uneasiness as he walked. The light shone on their faces. Wu Xie wanted to see his third uncle, but he definitely didn't want to be here. He knew that he couldn't escape at this time. If There really was Uncle San among these people, and he could only accept the reality. This feeling was uncomfortable. He didn't want to confirm it, but he had to confirm it.

These corpses were all covered in mud, and it was not easy to identify them. He looked at them face by face, and found no one who looked like his third uncle, but he was not sure that these were not his third uncle.

Just when he wanted to give up, the miner's lamp shone on one of the faces. The face was not completely covered by the mud. He subconsciously stopped because he found that the face was a bit familiar, and he immediately recognized it. come out.

That's Aning!
