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

Chapter 55 Tan Ren is dead?

The whistle sounded three times in total, one short, one long, followed by two rapid whistles.This is the danger and distress signal agreed upon in our team!I immediately realized that Zhou Xuanye and the others were still alive, probably because they saw the light coming from the vertical hole, that's why they blew the distress signal!
At this moment, my brain was filled with joy, and then quickly calmed down.

Now is not the time to be excited. When people are excited, they tend to do a lot of stupid things. Now, I have to force myself to calm down.It is self-evident what the whistle means, it means that the person under the shaft is still alive and is calling for help from me!

They probably fell into the vertical hole and can't get up now.

calm down.

I have to figure out a way to get people up.

correct!

At this moment, I thought of plants.This oasis has been untouched for a long time, and the flora and fauna are very luxuriant. There are many vine-like plants on the ground, and the stems are flexible, which can be used as ropes.Thinking of this, I put my head into the action, whistled a received signal, and then yelled: "Wait for me, I think I will pull you up!" The whistle sounded penetrating, they should be able to receive Information, as for whether the other party can hear what I shout out, that is not certain.

After finishing all this, I didn't dare to delay, and immediately prepared to go back and crawl out of the snake cave. However, just as I poked my head out of the vertical hole, suddenly, in the light circle of the searchlight, a Indistinct shadows.

The shadow is located at the junction of light and darkness, blurred.Can't really see it, but I'm pretty sure it didn't exist just a second ago.

In other words, that thing is an event, and it just came out!
What is this?I was startled, and subconsciously pulled the rope in my hand.With this pull, the searchlight connected to the bottom of the rope swayed, and in an instant, light and shadow intertwined in the vertical hole, and at the same time, the outline of the thing gradually became clear.

It's the silhouette of a human figure!
He is climbing!

In this place, besides Tan Ren and others, who else would there be?I was overjoyed and shouted, "Boss!"

The other party didn't answer me, but kept that posture and continued to climb upwards. At this moment, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The vertical hole is straight up and down, and the surroundings are smooth, and there is no place to climb. How did he fix his body on it?Thinking about it this way, looking at his posture again, it suddenly seemed even weirder.I saw the figure below, with hands forward and feet spread, like a gecko, it doesn't look like a human being.

But this outline is clearly a human figure.

I was puzzled, and couldn't help but doubt the identity of the person below: "Boss? Is it you?" The other party still didn't answer me, and it continued to climb, so the face gradually appeared in front of my eyes.Although the distance is far away, I can still see what it looks like.

I'm not sure if it's a person, it's a bloody human figure, its skin seems to be peeled off, its limbs are like a gecko, grabbing the stone wall of the water outlet, climbing up step by step, although it's far away, I seem to Already smelled the strong smell of blood on it.

What the hell is this?
I just felt a numbness in my scalp and tightness in my throat, and I couldn't even make a sound for a while.

Why is there such a thing climbing up from below?

What about Tan Ren?What about Zhou Xuanye?how are they

"Pa-ta, pa-ta..." The crawling speed of the human figure was not slow, and when I realized it, I could already hear the movement it made as it crawled, like the sound of a frog's feet hitting a lotus leaf.

At this time, it had climbed to a position flush with the searchlight, only about ten meters away from me, and everything about its body was clearly visible.

At this time, I suddenly discovered that there was something hanging around its neck.

It's a whistle.

A signal whistle.

There was a buzzing in my mind, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

Could it be, could it be that this ghost-like thing in a horror movie is, is it Tan Ren or Zhou Xuanye?

What exactly happened?
I feel like my common sense and sanity are being refreshed again and again, and this feeling is almost maddening.

My eyes fixed on that 'person', it was approaching me.To be honest, facing such a monster, it is impossible not to be afraid.But seeing the whistle on its neck and thinking about its possible identity, I couldn't just walk away.

I have to figure out its identity.

If a person becomes like this, can he still live?Is he still human?The thing in the vertical hole is obviously impossible to be a living person, but why can he move?For a moment, I remembered the scene when I first met Zhou Xuanye, the doll, and the corpse that crawled out from under the collapsed wall.

Could it be that Zhou Xuanye was manipulating it?

If Zhou Xuanye is still alive, then this person... is Tan Ren?

I don't know how to describe my mood at the moment, I just feel the heat in my eyes, and I can't help but want to cry: "Boss..."

"Patta!" It finally crawled out completely, and the strong smell of blood rushed straight into my nasal cavity. A bloody head with unknown mucus just stared directly at me.It has no eyes in its eye sockets, just two black eye sockets.

At this moment, fear and pain rushed into my heart. On the one hand, the fear that normal people would have when they saw this kind of "thing" attacked the brain; My head welled up.

I thought of the office, the neatly packed and locked files that were always packed away in the office, and Tan Ren who satirized and slandered me while putting the coffee on the table, showing the kind of uncle who looks down on you, But I still won't forget your look even though I have something to eat.

I felt that my eye sockets were scorching hot. If a piece of lead was choked in my throat and my chest swelled, the other party would not make any other movements after crawling out. This made me more sure that it was controlled by Zhou Xuanye.Zhou Xuanye couldn't come up by himself, but he used the technique of walking the corpse to transport Tan Ren's body up.

Observing closely, I can already see that the corpse has not been skinned, but has been corroded by something like gastric juice.

The stench pervaded the cave, and it took me about ten minutes to clear up my mood. I suppressed the urge to cry, took a deep breath, and stopped looking at the bloody corpse in front of me.I was worried that I would collapse if I watched it any longer.

I can't imagine what happened under that vertical hole, but I know that Zhou Xuanye needs my help now.Tan Ren has already had an accident, I can't let him have another accident!
I immediately started to climb out, rope, there must be enough rope.

When I climbed out of the cave, the three of Han Zitong stood up in surprise, and Han Xu waved to me: "Zhu Tiangu, you are back, is it fun in the cave?" I took a deep breath, walked out of the area where the snake was, The three said: "Collect vines to make ropes. It needs to be at least 50 meters long. Immediately." After speaking, I pulled out the dagger first and started to clean up the vines on the ground.

Han Zitong and Wang Zehai looked at each other in blank dismay.

Wang Zehai couldn't help squatting down and asked me, "What happened?"

I said: "The snake hole leads to a stream of groundwater. They fell into the groundwater rock formation, and they had to be pulled up with ropes."

"Oh." Wang Zehai responded, but stared straight at me, and said, "Is there anything else?"

I said: "What else do you want to happen?" My tone became a little rushed, really, I tried my best to calm myself down.

Wang Zehai choked for a moment, and said, "The way you look now is not as simple as what you said. What happened?"

What am I like now?

what am i now
There are no mirrors around, so I can't see clearly, but I must be in a mess after drilling in that dirt hole for so long.

At this time, a snow-white hand holding a small makeup mirror was placed directly in front of my eyes, and my eyes happened to be reflected in the mirror.

It was red, bloodshot, and bloodshot all over the eyeballs, which looked extremely frightening.

It was Han Zitong who handed the mirror, but any woman, especially a beautiful woman, no matter what the situation, would never lack a mirror.She didn't ask much, just handed out the mirror, and then looked at me silently.

I felt that all the strength in my body was drained immediately, and I said, "The boss is dead."

Wang Zehai and Han Zitong seemed to have guessed something, their expressions were dignified but they were not overly surprised. Wang Zehai paused and asked, "Which boss?"

"Tan Ren." Normally, the boss I mean refers to Tan Ren.Zhou Xuanye is very polite, he doesn't like me calling him that, usually he is called a brother.

Han Zitong moved his lips, finally sighed, and said, "So, how is Mr. Zhou?" While talking, she and Wan Zehai also started to collect vines on the ground.

I said, "I don't know, but at least I'm still alive."

Since the three people did it together, it didn't take long to collect the vines. We connected them in series with a dead knot to make a very long rope, which should be enough to fix the vertical hole.Immediately afterwards, I carried these ropes and started to enter the palace for the second time.

When he returned to the cave again, Tan Ren's body still kept the previous movement, kneeling on the ground, motionless.

I hung the rope against a raised rock on one side, drove the dagger in again, added a layer of safety, and then threw the long rope down the hole.Of course, this time, a searchlight was also tied to the end of the rope.

I see the water flow.

Deep, torrenting and subterranean water, it takes on an amber color in the light.The diameter of the vertical hole is limited, so the groundwater environment I can see is also limited. However, the searchlights show that there is a certain distance between the surface of the groundwater and the entrance of the vertical hole. There is a layer of void.

If there is no hole in this layer, Zhou Xuanye and others probably would have drowned below.

Judging from the current situation, Zhou Xuanye is probably hiding in a place like the hollow floor. Now that I put the rope down, he should be able to climb up with the rope.When all this was done, I blew my whistle to signal him to move.
