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

Chapter 42 Disfigurement
After the tragic death of the first companion, everyone went crazy and struggled to escape.The anesthesia effect of these things is not very strong, and the more you struggle, the tighter they become. Fortunately, there is a man named Yuan Zhenghai in the team, who is as thin as a bamboo pole, with long fingers, reaching his waist during the struggle The multifunctional saber, and immediately used the saber to cut off those things on his body.

After cutting off the roots on his own body, he started to save others. A milky white slurry emerged from the severed roots, and when it splashed on people, there was a burst of burning pain.

While cutting those roots, Yuan Zhenghai shouted: "Quick, run to the mouth of the well."

One of them ran to the mouth of the well and shouted: "There is no rope, what should I do if I can't go up."

Fortunately, the well was not deep, and several people immediately thought of a way to build a ladder.

The first person sent up must be a person with relatively strong physical strength, so that after he goes up, he can put the rope to pull others up.So a big guy named Bao Yongzhuan in the team was sent out.This big man, that is, the person we rescued later, as for how he got his injuries, Qiu Huangxi is not very clear.When Bao Yongzhuan was sent out, he did have injuries on his body. When the mucus from the roots stained people's bodies, something like blisters would form, which was very painful.

When Bao Yongzhuan went out, there were only some blisters and abrasions on his body. The bite wounds we saw later were probably the dangers he experienced after he went out, but he was already dead. No one knows what happened at that time. up.

At first, Bao Yongzhuan was sent out because he was expected to use ropes to save people, but who knew, those roots seemed to be alive. The mouth of the well was tightly blocked, and thicker and thicker roots protruded from the soil.

In desperation, several people were forced to flee for their lives in the cave by the roots. In the process, they discovered that these ancient wells were actually connected, and how these caves of different sizes were formed is unknown.

During this process, several people gradually mastered some of the habits of these roots. They are all hidden deep in the soil of the burrow. they.The deeper they are buried, the thicker they are. They are also not afraid of fire, and even like light. A little fire will attract them to come out from the depths.

Once you meet those big guys, it is almost a dead end.

During this groping process, the remaining two companions encountered accidents one after another, and Qiu Huangxi's survival until now was entirely due to her petite and flexible figure.During this process, she accidentally discovered the small cave she was in now. Since the cave was surrounded by stones, the roots couldn't get in, and it barely lasted until now.

When I fell, Qiu Huangxi heard the movement. At first she didn't dare to come out to check, but then she couldn't resist the desire in her heart and lit the lighter.For a man who had been trapped underground for days without seeing another living being, the temptation to hear human activity again was great.

Therefore, Qiu Huangxi finally overcame her fear and found me with a lighter.

I was unconscious at the time, and when she saw me, I was already entangled by those thin roots.Qiu Huangxi didn't dare to light the fire for too long, worried that those big things would be drawn out, so she quickly cut off the roots on my body and dragged me into this hole.

She didn't say much about this process, but I imagined it and knew that it must be extremely difficult.It must be very difficult to keep myself from being entangled by those things, and at the same time to rescue a big man who is completely unconscious.

I have never seen the kind of thing she described, and I just find it incredible. Is it a plant or an animal?Are there really such weird things in the world?I remembered what had dragged me down the well before, and I had to believe it.As a result, I was a little worried about Tan Ren and the others. Anyway, I was rescued by Qiu Huangxi now. I knew the situation in this place, but Tan Ren and the others knew nothing about it. What if I also got a clue?
So I asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Qiu Huangxi thought for a while and said, "It's been about three hours."

more than three hours...

Tan Ren and the others should have discovered that I was missing.

No, I have to find a way to get out. Once I disappear, they will definitely look for me everywhere, and it will be terrible if I am also dragged into the well.

But the well I fell into just now was very deep. Without a rope, even if I reached the mouth of the well, how would I get out?

I asked Qiu Huangxi: "How far is this cave from the well I just fell from?"

Qiu Huangxi said hoarsely: "It's not far, about 20 meters. You, you plan to go out from there? No, it's too high."

Indeed, with such a high distance, we have no way to go out, we can only wait for people outside to rescue us.But people outside don't know the situation down here at all, and they may suffer from it when they come here.No, I have to figure out a way to notify them.

I asked Qiu Huangxi: "Is your phone still charged?"

After asking, I felt like an idiot. If the mobile phone could communicate, they wouldn't be trapped to death.Sure enough, Qiu Huangxi said: "It's underground, the signal is very low, I can't make calls, and the battery is dead now."

I couldn't help sighing. In the darkness, we curled up into a ball and fell silent for a while. Then, I heard the sound of gurgling, which was my stomach growling.Of course, the sound was not made by me, it should be made by Qiu Huangxi, and it occurred to me that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

So I carefully turned my body sideways, and took out a ham sausage from my pocket and handed it to her. I felt Qiu Huangxi startled for a moment, and then snatched the ham sausage out of my hand like a hungry tiger. In the past, followed by the sound of the package being torn, and then gobbled.

It seems that after she rescued me, she didn't search me, otherwise she should have discovered it long ago.

After a while, she finished eating, her voice seemed to be stronger, and she asked me: "Why do you carry these things on your body?" There will also be some food in the bag, mostly high-energy compressed food, to prevent accidents.

Normal people, even if they bring unpalatable energy bars, they will not bring ham sausage.

I didn't answer her question. The reason why I developed this habit was because of an experience when I was a child, but that experience was really not good, and I am too lazy to talk about it.Seeing that I didn't open my mouth, Qiuhuangxi didn't ask any further questions.

After staying in the dark for a while, I felt that I couldn't just sit and wait for death, so I said to Qiu Huangxi, "I can't go on like this. I'll go out and find out if there is another way." After all, everything I heard just now is true. What Qiu Huangxi dictated, and many things, I still have to experience it myself to know.

I took out the lighter and planned to go out, and at this moment, Qiu Huangxi grabbed my hand again.

She just held on to it, but didn't speak.

I didn't know what she meant for a while, but Qiu Huangxi said, "Open it." She motioned me to light the lighter.

I didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, so I ignited the lighter.This lighter is Han Xu's windproof lighter. After leaving the ghost market, the situation was too tense, so I forgot to return it to him for a while. Now it can be regarded as useful.

I suddenly realized that a good lighter is actually very important.

However, the moment the fire came on, I saw a scene that made me scream out loud.

It was a face, a pitted face with liquid dripping from the surface.

It's Qiuhuangxi...

Omg.

The moment I yelled, I covered my mouth with my other hand.

That face was almost invisible, and it was more terrifying than a ghost when it was seen in the dark at first glance.

Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm down.

At this time, Qiu Huangxi showed a wry smile on her extremely ugly face, and then she lowered her head and said, "Are you still planning to go out? This is how my body was destroyed." As she spoke, she He raised his hand, and there were many blisters of different sizes on his hand, as if scalded by water.

These scorching blisters are fresh, and the wound on her face should have been formed after the scorching blisters burst, it was probably an old wound a few days ago.

For a moment, I didn't even know what to say.

After a while, I stared at the new injury on her hand, and said with difficulty: "Is it to save me?"

Qiu Huangxi twitched the corners of her mouth, ugly as a ghost: "I have enough injuries on my body, I don't care about adding a little." Immediately afterwards, she relaxed her body, looked at the flame of the lighter in my hand with dull eyes, and suddenly said: " I have a way to get you out."

The topic changed too fast, and I didn't react for a while.
