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

Chapter 565 Bamboo Forest
While hiding from the falling rocks and mud, I leaned back and squinted to watch the movement ahead.

I saw that the pile of rocks that blocked the way before had been scattered, and in the smoke and dust, a huge figure that occupied half of the cave was lying motionless on the ground. Because of the dust, I couldn't see clearly what was going on there. What is it, the surface is black, as if covered with a hard shell, I don't know if it has been cheated to death.

At the same time, several figures quickly ran out from behind the huge monster, shouting at the same time: "Hurry up, hurry up, there are more behind." Before I could see who it was, the brother who flashed past me He grabbed me and said, "What the hell are you doing here, run!"

A group of us hurried out of the cave, and as soon as we got out, there was a sound of collapse inside. If we ran out later, I'm afraid we would have to be buried alive.Sister Tie, who was waiting outside, was terrified. Seeing our group, she hurriedly said, "What's inside? Is anyone injured?"

Only now did I have the time to observe the group of people who ran out, counted them, and found that the frail middle-aged man wearing glasses was gone, and the rest, including the natural ones, were there.

After asking this question, Sister Tie also realized that there was one person missing, and immediately asked, "Where's Lao Yang?"

Zheng Gongcheng looked at the narrow cave behind him, shook his head heavily, and said, "The confession is inside."

I just felt a buzzing in my ears, it's unbelievable, it's only been three days since I entered Heizhugou, yet someone died?
Before we could ask a question, Curly said: "Don't mention it. After you roll down, we have no time to save you. The densely packed, overwhelming ground is full of gophers. Even bombing with grenades can't finish it. Later, for some reason, those grounds The rats suddenly stopped chasing us. I thought they were tired of chasing them, but we ran into a group of big scorpions. Not long after we sent the signal to you there, Lao Yang was attacked by a big scorpion dragged into the cave."

I said, "So you chased after him?"

Curly Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was about to continue, when he stood up in a daze and said, "Although the cave has collapsed, this place is not safe, those scorpions must not be dead."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's 25:[-], it's almost dawn, everyone, don't wander around in the jungle, go up a tree to rest."

Climbing a tree is definitely a relatively safe method in the mountains and forests. It can avoid most dangers. Of course, the premise is that there are no poisonous snakes on the tree. If you are unlucky, you climbed a tree with poisonous snakes and got bitten , that would be bad.

There were so many changes that night, we didn't dare to run around in the mountains anymore, so we found some big trees that were convenient for resting, and curled up in the middle of the branches to rest, and we didn't dare to sleep deeply on the big trees. In a half-asleep and half-awake posture, always vigilant, the curly hair is probably too tired to toss, and did not continue to tell me about Lao Yang, and fell asleep curled into a prawn posture after climbing the tree.

Until dawn, we were woken up by the chirping and chirping of birds in the mountains. Since I didn’t sleep much last night, when I woke up, my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t open them. They were all yawning, everyone ate something casually, and then continued to go to the devil's triangle, Curly also intermittently talked about what happened afterwards.

After Lao Yang was captured by the scorpion, everyone rushed to save them, but they didn't expect that it was a scorpion nest, and there were countless large and small scorpions inside. killed.

Even so, the equipment on Lao Yang's body is still there, so we can't just throw it away. Everyone thought of a way to hide and planned to get the equipment bag out, but I suddenly made a movement at the other end, making the inside The scorpions found their whereabouts.

In the scorpion nest, the guns were just for fun. In desperation, everyone took the risk and used grenades to kill the biggest scorpion king, and even collapsed the cave.
The only good thing is that Lao Yang's equipment bag was taken back.

Everyone was in a low mood this morning. Although we knew that this place was dangerous and that we might not be able to get out, we had been in danger for the past few days under the leadership of Tianrandai, but we didn't realize it. On the third day Just like this happened, one of the teammates died immediately, and a sad atmosphere of rabbit death and fox inevitably circulated in the team.

I asked Curly Lao Yang's identity, and Curly said he didn't know, and had never cooperated with Lao Yang in missions before, but Lao Yang didn't seem to be physically fit, he was a cultural person, and he should have a special role in this team.

Before the action, Zheng Gongcheng also deliberately conveyed to everyone the meaning of being natural. Among our team, Lao Yang, Sister Tie and I have the weakest combat effectiveness. Among them, Lao Yang is the key protection target and must be taken care of more. , but did not say.

At this moment, Tianrandai's expression was normal, but Zheng Gongcheng beside him was frowning, and whispered something to Tianrandai from time to time. About Lao Yang.

Lao Yang's death, will it affect our mission?
There should be, but the impact should not be absolute, otherwise we should retreat instead of moving forward.

As we move forward, the surrounding environment is unpredictable. The terrain here is too complicated. Sometimes it is densely covered with mountains and forests, sometimes it is a valley, and sometimes we will walk into some meadow areas. At a glance, it is full of green grass. It can be imagined that in autumn and winter, the grass must be golden yellow, the forests are all dyed, and the scenery is myriad.

It’s only summer now, and at a glance, there are greenery everywhere. As we walked, the terrain gradually decreased. We walked into one of the valleys and planned to continue along this valley until we entered the Devil’s Triangle. During this process, It takes about three days to travel.

The scenery in the valley is even more magnificent. There is no human trace here, and it is a completely primitive area. The falling flowers and flowing water in the stream, the moss marks and new teeth are dizzying.Soon, the surrounding vegetation began to change. At the beginning, we could see some black bamboos unique to Heizhugou in bits and pieces. The deeper we went, the more black bamboos there were.

At this moment, the sharpshooter in the team, the brother nicknamed 'Eagle Eye' suddenly lowered his voice; "Look quickly." He pointed to a bamboo forest on a high place, and I looked in the direction he pointed, and couldn't help but twitched. He took a deep breath and said, "Giant panda."

Curly said: "Look at your ignorance, haven't you seen it in the zoo?"

I said; "I've seen the zoo ones, but not the wild ones, fuck it... it's staring at us."

Zheng Gongcheng glanced at the black and white giant panda not far away, and said: "This thing looks stupid, but it is actually very powerful, fast, strong bite force, and very lethal. Don't be fooled by its appearance, let it go." .”

We walked around the giant panda, and the thing was eating bamboo while watching us. Seeing us leave, it shook its buttocks and quickly disappeared from our sight.This piece of black bamboo forest is very large, and some mountain springs can be found in the forest from time to time, and there is a unique fragrance of bamboo in the air. Of course, what makes us most happy is that there are not so many bugs in this place.

Bamboo is originally a kind of plant that is not suitable for insects to live in. Even those annoying locusts and slugs are gone. This bamboo forest is quite large. I was wondering if it is possible to go out today. , suddenly discovered that there were several large dirt bags not far ahead.

My first impression of the soil bag was the mound of graves, round like a steamed bun grave, three next to each other, covered with fallen dead bamboo leaves.

How could there be graves in this place?

Everyone looked at the three soil bags and couldn't help being stunned for a moment. At this moment, Hawkeye said: "It doesn't seem to be soil." While speaking, he leaned over cautiously and reached out to caress the bamboo leaves on the surface.

After the bamboo leaves were caressed, the things under the bamboo leaves were exposed. Only then did we realize that it was not a mound of steamed buns, but a tent, three tents tied together!

Seeing this, Eagle Eye immediately began to clean up the fallen leaves on the tent without saying a word, and the rest of us hurried to help. To be honest, we were quite surprised to see three tents in this place.

Zheng Gongcheng speculated that these tents should be left by previous expeditions or some expeditions. Heizhugou has never lacked people who want to come in to explore the secrets, but at the same time there are too many people who have accidents.

The three tents were not put away, and people in the mountains and forests could not abandon their tents for no reason, so the owners of the three tents may have died.

After we cleaned out the tents, we found that they were of very good quality, and there was no sign of damage so far, but it is worth noting that the zippers of this tent were all pulled up.

When camping in the wild, the tent is usually fully pulled up only when sleeping, and the rest of the time is half pulled up. If the owner of the tent has an accident, they will definitely not have time to pull up the tent during their escape.

In an instant, a terrible thought came to my mind: Could it be...they are still inside?

As if to prove my guess, when Hawkeye opened one of the tents, a strong stench suddenly came out.This smell is the unique smell after the coffin is opened. Even if the corpse has rotted into dry bones, that smell is still difficult to dissipate.

I was so shocked, I immediately covered my mouth and nose and took a few steps back, the rest of the people reacted similarly to me, some people started to curse: "Fuck, there are dead people inside!"

Looking inside the opened tent, I saw two sleeping bags inside. The sleeping bags looked very flat, as if no one was inside, but there was a skull on the mouth of the sleeping bag.

It's not that there is no one in the sleeping bag, but that the people inside have rotted into skeletons, so they can't be seen.
