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

Chapter 41

"Ah!" The moment I fell, I could only scream subconsciously, grabbing wildly with both hands, hoping to grab something to stabilize my body, but the ancient well was deep and narrow, and after a few grabs, I could only touch the dry well Wall, in the end, I only felt a pain in my back, my brain buzzed, and I lost consciousness.

To be honest, it was my luck that I didn't fall to my death directly after falling like this, because I fell into the well headfirst.But fortunately, I adjusted my posture during the struggle, and in the end it was the back that landed first.

I didn't know how long it took for this dizziness, and when I woke up, I realized that I was living in a dark and narrow place, very dark, and when I looked around, I could feel dry clods of sand.

At this moment, the back of my head is still bursting with pain, and the moment I just woke up, I didn't even know what my situation was.After more than ten seconds, the brain seemed to regain its ability to think.I just remembered that I fell into the well.

Immediately afterwards, I felt something was wrong, how long had I passed out?
What was it that dragged me down the well?
I thought it was probably some kind of animal, like a snake or something, but why didn't it hurt me?
These questions swirled in my mind, and I immediately went to touch the lighter, but helplessly, now I was in a curly posture, in a very narrow place, and I couldn’t even open my hands. In desperation, I was about to move my body, but at this moment, a pair of cold hands suddenly came from behind me and pressed my hands.

In an instant, I shuddered, because I didn't even realize that there was someone behind me!
And this cold touch, coupled with some bizarre things I have experienced recently, I even have some doubts whether these hands belong to 'humans'.As I trembled all over, the person said: "Little brother, don't move, this place is very dangerous." The person who spoke was very close to me, her head was just behind my neck, her voice sounded very weak, It turned out to be a woman!
I was shocked, and immediately asked: "Who are you?" After confirming that the other party was not a ghost, I felt at ease, and as soon as I relaxed, I immediately noticed something that I had ignored before.

Like the smell.

The smell came from the woman behind me. It was the smell of someone who hadn't bathed for a long time. It was sour and unpleasant.In addition, there seems to be some excrement smell.

I began to wonder about the origin of this woman.

The ancient well, and the woman under the ancient well, immediately reminded me of the person who died.

Could it be that this woman is his companion?

In the dark, I couldn't see her face.I can't know her age, but I can only hear her voice, which is very weak and hoarse: "I am a member of an expedition team, the bottom of this well is very dangerous, and I have been trapped here for a long time...you, what about you? "

I immediately realized that this was probably the person we were looking for, so I asked, "Did you send a companion out to ask for help?"

This woman was very close to me, so I could clearly feel that her body shook suddenly, and then she said: "Yes, yes, how do you know? You met him? Could it be that you are a policeman? "

I said: "I am not a policeman. We are also an investigation team. We met your companion on the way. He was seriously injured and died. Before he died, he asked us for help, so my companion and I Here we come." After a pause, I remembered something and said, "Are you alone here?"

The other party nodded, and rubbed his forehead against my neck. It was cool, and I felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, this is the first time I have been so close to a girl, and the neck is a sensitive part of the human body. , so I stiffened a bit.

But she didn't seem to feel anything, and she fell into silence when she heard the words. After a while, I heard a sobbing sound, the voice was very depressed, and it seemed that she didn't dare to cry loudly.I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my heart, but I didn't know how to comfort me.

I am a person who is not good at words. Although I am anxious in my heart, I don't know how to comfort me.

She sobbed for a while, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "There are five of us, but now, only me is left."

I immediately understood in my heart that most of the rest of the people had died.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the thing that dragged me down the well before. Could it be that the danger they mentioned was that thing?I couldn't help asking: "What happened to you? You saved me?"

She nodded, and after a while, she said, "It's not saving you. We've made you a burden. This residential area is very dangerous." Immediately afterwards, she began to talk about her own experience.

Her surname is Qiu, and her name is Qiuhuangxi. The surname Qiu is a relatively rare surname. It was originally derived from the surname Ji. It is said that she is a descendant of Shaohao, a descendant of the emperor.The word phoenix is ​​actually very interesting. Chinese people like to say that the dragon and the phoenix bring good luck, and the union of husband and wife is also called the joy of the dragon and the phoenix. In fact, the phoenix and the phoenix, the phoenix is ​​the male bird, and the phoenix is ​​the female bird. After careful study, it is actually quite ambiguous. Both are public, so how can they be auspicious?

Chinese people also like to use phoenix when naming their daughters. They hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes. However, those who are more sophisticated will not use the word phoenix.So when I heard her name was Qiuhuangxi, I couldn't help asking: "Is your father particularly knowledgeable?" Ordinary people would definitely choose Qiufeng, but not Qiuhuang. You can tell from the difference of one word. A person's cultural heritage.

I guessed right, Qiu Huangxi's family background is average, but counting up to three generations, the family is full of scholars, so it can be regarded as coming from a scholarly family, her father is a professor of the Chinese Department of the university, and she is also a teacher herself, Huang Xi This name comes from "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix": The phoenix returns to its hometown, and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix.

This time it was summer vacation, and a few friends organized a trek through the desert to experience life, and she followed.

This oasis is within the scope of their experience, but they did not expect that there would be a strange thing living under this oasis.

It was night when they entered the oasis, and they spent the night in a private house.The next day, they played and took pictures in the oasis. At noon, when it was hot to play, the men in the team wanted to find an ancient well to cool off with cold water.

Unexpectedly, when I got to the well, something happened. I was pulled down by that strange thing just like me.

Of course, the well they fell into was different from the well I fell into.And the reason why we are together now is because there are many underground passages underground, and the wells are connected to each other.

I was very surprised when I heard this, did Jing and Jing figure it out?Where did these underground passages come from?You must know that well water is groundwater. Once the well is dug successfully, the water will overflow, and it is impossible to connect with each other.

Of course, using modern technology, we can get through with more cost, but in the desert decades ago, who would do such a thing?Even if you want to do it, you don't have the technology at all.

Qiu Huangxi said weakly: "These passages are not made by people, but they are." The "those" she said were the things that dragged us down,
What exactly is that?To be honest, I didn't see it clearly, but Qiu Huangxi and the others did come into contact with it.When they fell down, they didn't carry much equipment, because they were resting at that time, and most of the equipment was taken off and piled aside, so when they were dragged down, they didn't have much on their bodies.

The well they fell into was not that deep, so they didn't faint when they fell, but a few people were not as lucky as me. In Qiu Huangxi's words, I was saved by her, and they didn't I know that creature too well, so I don't know how to deal with it at all, so if I fall, I will suffer.

It was something like the roots of some kind of plant, entangled in the sand, unremarkable, but that thing could grow out of the soil, entwining people as if they were alive.That thing will secrete an anesthetic substance, and after being entangled by it, it is similar to being anesthetized by a spider.

How do spiders eat?

The prey is trapped in the web, and the spider secretes a hormone that liquefies the prey from the inside, and the spider then sucks the liquefied juice.

At that time, they were entangled and anesthetized by those root-like things.

The thing didn't seem to be able to eat much at once, so it picked the biggest man in the group first.That person was Liu Kaiyi, and everyone watched those roots slowly pierce Liu Kaiyi's skin, and then Liu Kaiyi's sanity began to slacken, and finally began to struggle, screaming incessantly.

Throughout the day, the flesh in Liu Kaiyi's body seemed to have turned into water and was slowly absorbed by those things, leaving only a piece of skin in the end.

When Qiu Huangxi told this, her body kept shaking.

Witnessing a painful death in one day, that kind of feeling is absolutely unacceptable every day, and the ground is not working, it makes people want to go crazy.
