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

Chapter 53 The Snake Cave
The four of us stood outside the safety zone, with only one searchlight on, forming the only light in the darkness. After the snakes gradually quieted down, the night became extraordinarily silent. In the oasis of the desert, even the animals became I was cautious and didn't make a sound. For a while, I seemed to only hear my own breathing.

At this moment, the wounds on my thigh and waist changed from daytime pain to a little itchy, which is a good sign that the damaged cells are repairing. I resisted the desire to scratch and counted the time in my heart.Because the phone was out of battery, I went to Han Xu's place to check the watch on his wrist after a while. After more than 40 minutes, there was still no movement around.

The snake cave is quiet and quiet, separating the inside and outside of the cave into two worlds.

Han Zitong finally lost his composure, and there was a trace of anxiety in his voice, breaking the atmosphere of silence: "Why haven't you come out yet, is something going to happen?"

Sitting under a banana tree, Wang Zehai said with his double chin tense, "If something goes wrong, I'll have to pay for it, hiss... this business is a big loss." I couldn't help but said, "Don't talk nonsense. , Boss and the others will come out safely." This jade seller, it's been a while, so how can he pour cold water on him.

Hearing this, Wang Zehai raised his hands, clicked his tongue, and said: "Yes, yes, I was wrong, can't I be wrong, you are too dedicated as an employee, I will ask your boss later, let him I'll give you a salary increase." As he spoke, he smiled shamelessly.

Han Zitong turned his head and asked me, "What did Boss Tan and the others tell you before leaving?"

I thought for a while and said, "It's an accident, let's retreat first."

Han Zitong's face was expressionless, but his voice was dignified: "But now there is no response, so why should we just wait like this?"

I also felt that I had no idea, but I had no other way, so I could only say: "Wait first, we will talk about the situation." The four of us could only continue to wait, and later, Wang Zehai, the jade seller, fell asleep. Xu was also holding a bug in his hand, drooling while sleeping, only Han Zitong and I watched in silence.

Time passed by every minute and every second. When Wang Zehai woke up, it was already dawn. The sky was gray and the sun had not broken. The pointer of the watch pointed to 20:[-] in the morning.Han Xu was still sleeping, the three of us looked at each other, but none of us spoke.

Finally, Wang Zehai took the lead and said: "It's broken, something must have happened, so I said I shouldn't go down."

Han Zitong said: "But what's the use of worrying about these now?"

Wang Zehai looked at me and said, "Xiao Su, what do you say?"

I looked at the sky, it was about to be bright, so I said: "As soon as the sun comes out, I will go into the snake cave to find someone." Snakes are afraid of sunlight, and I am not as powerful as Zhou Xuanye. If I want to avoid these snakes, I have to wait. The sun comes out.

To be honest, right now my heart feels heavy like a piece of lead has dropped, and various ominous guesses popped up in my mind, but facing the three people in front of me, each in their fifties, they gasped after walking a few steps. A fat man, a mentally handicapped child, and a weak woman, at times like this, I can only keep my composure, otherwise if I get messed up, they will probably get even more messed up.

Hearing what I said, Wang Zehai was shocked and said, "You're going to die! Both of your bosses went down and failed to come up. Aren't you going to die when you go down!"

I said: "Otherwise? We just wait like this? It's been seven full hours...I can't wait any longer."

Han Zitong was silent for a while, looked up at me, and said softly: "Tian Gu, I'm sorry, I can't go with you, I can't have an accident, otherwise Xiaoxu has no one to take care of me, I can't take this risk." He didn't make any expression, but his eyes were clearly guilty.

In my heart, I didn't hope she could help at all. First, she was invited by Wang Zehai to work for Wang Zehai, so naturally she didn't need to risk her life for the two of Tan Ren; How can you rely on her for dangerous things?So I shook my head, looked at Han Xu who was drooling while sleeping, and said, "Although I don't know what kind of relationship you have, but... I know that Han Xu needs you. With a sister like you, it's him luck."

The guilt in Han Zitong's eyes grew stronger, and he said, "Are you really going?"

"Where the righteousness lies, I must go! They are my bosses, and I can't leave them alone." To be more precise, I actually regard these two as friends.Maybe others don't know it, but I know it well. Although Tan Ren seems to be a bit vicious, he seems to be a mean boss, but in fact, he has done his best to me as an employee, except that he likes to grab my share of buns for breakfast. , in terms of other aspects, it is definitely possible to issue a model boss brand.

When I make coffee on weekdays, I will be given a copy, and it is brought to the front of the table.

Have you ever seen such a boss?
At least I haven't encountered it before.

I don't know if the two of Tan Yan regard me as a friend, but I know that I can't regard them as the kind of bosses who can change jobs or be replaced at any time.

Han Zitong nodded when he heard the words, and said, "I see. When you come out safely, if you are interested, I will tell you about Xiaoxu. Are you interested?"

I smiled and said, "Then it's done, wait for me to come back."

Seeing that I had made up my mind, Wang Zehai sighed, and said with a troubled face, "Brother Wang, I am not a person who would refuse to save me, but as you can see, I am too fat, and I can't get in that snake hole. Let's do it like this..." While speaking, he took out most of the insect repellent snake pills on his body and stuffed them into my pocket, and then zipped me up. After doing all this, he said: "I can only help you. You have so much."

I thought it was funny for a while, and said: "Okay, Boss Wang, they will leave it to you." The excuse he made really didn't lie to me. With his size, he really couldn't get into the snake's hole. The position of the chest has to be stuck.

Then, I started to equip myself, put on gloves, put on clothes, and brought as much equipment as possible. When I packed everything, it was already daylight.

At this moment, although the sunlight was not strong, I tried to walk into the danger zone, and found that the snakes hadn't moved, so I waved at Wang Zehai and the others. Han Xu grinned stupidly and said, "Zhu Tiangu, where are you going?" , I want to play with you." He wanted to rush over, but Han Zitong grabbed him.

We agreed to wait a day.If I don't come out of the snake cave tonight, it means that there is indeed a very difficult situation in the snake cave. If that's the case, Han Zitong and the others don't have to think of a way to save us, just return directly.

Walking steadily to the snake cave, I turned on the light and looked inside.

The snake cave is not straight up and down, but presents a slanted arc, and the light enters it, so you can't see too far.There was some floating dirt at the entrance, and at this moment, the traces left by Tan Ren and the others when they climbed into the snake cave could still be clearly seen.

I took a deep breath, silently recited the phrase Patriarch Blessing in my heart, then lowered my head and began to drill into the snake hole.

Although I'm not a corpse refiner, and I don't have the ability to walk corpses, but at least I have offered a few sticks of incense to the patriarch. Seeing that everyone is familiar with it, the patriarch should take care of me, right?
My body shape is relatively standard, neither fat nor thin. It is almost just right to get into the snake hole, but the feeling of crawling on the ground is not good. There is a big snake smell lingering in the hole. People gag.

While crawling forward, I was thinking about possible situations in my mind.

Why didn't Tan Ren and the others come out?Swallowed by a snake?

This snake cave is narrow and only allows people to crawl. It is difficult for people to use their skills in this cave, but snakes do not have this limitation.I couldn't help but see Tan Ren and Zhou Xuanye being swallowed by the giant python one by one in my mind, and my heart immediately became tense.

Soon, I threw this idea out of my mind, thinking that although the giant python is big, it is not enough to eat three people at a time. How can it have such a big belly?Therefore, the two of Tan Ren have not moved, it must be because of other circumstances.

Thinking of this, I began to continue to climb forward.

This snake cave is much longer than I imagined. What surprised me the most is that the trend of the snake cave is very strange. Its entrance is inclined downwards, but after climbing more than ten meters, the trend of the snake cave becomes smooth. It flattens out, becomes curved, and widens as it goes forward.

After more than 20 minutes, I was surprised that I hadn't seen the end of the snake cave yet.

How long is this snake hole?

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for such a long snake hole to be made by the giant python. There must be another mystery in this hole.
