Endless Road of Corpse - C67

I cried out in fright, flinging my hands away reflexively, and pulling my legs back.

Then it occurred to me that the sportswear watch I was wearing had a night glow to it, and I quickly raised my hand to my eyes and flipped the switch. The dial of my watch gave off a faint green glow that would have made anyone see the letters on it, but for me it was like the light of the first day of God.

In the dim light, I could see a figure lying a few meters in front of me.

Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid… Just a dead man! I tried to cheer myself up, but the instant I touched the hand, I was sure the man was dead.

He still had to find the flashlight first! After calming myself down for a while, I took off my watch, put my hand on the switch, and looked around the floor. Finally I found it in another corner of the steps.

I was greatly relieved. For most people, I would rather be facing a real enemy in the light than the fear of imagination in the dark.

I used the flashlight to look around and found that I was at the bottom of a flight of stairs, but there were no traces of manmade things on the outside of the stairs. At the top of the stairs were uneven rocks, and at the bottom was sand and mud, and this was actually a natural underground karst cave, and this cave was very spacious, at least ten meters high. My light on the left and right could only illuminate a greyish shadow, while the area directly opposite of the hole was even more unfathomable. I was too scared to go in alone.

I looked away and back at the body. “He was a burly man, at least 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and thick muscles on his back. He was wearing a black battle uniform that looked like a special police officer, and he was lying on the ground with his head turned towards the other side of where I couldn’t see him.

Although I was certain that the man was dead, I still used the gun in my hand to touch his leg. As expected, the man didn’t move at all, and just as I was considering whether I should flip him over, I suddenly heard San Mao and the Daoist cry out.

This time, the sound wasn’t as indiscernible as before. It sounded like it wasn’t far from the top of the stairs, I hastily replied and quickly ran up the stairs, just in time to see a flash of light not far away. San Mao and the Daoist priest were quickly running towards me.

Even though it had only been a short twenty to thirty minutes, seeing the two of them again after a series of shocks, it seemed as though they were from another world. I was so excited that I almost wanted to hug San Mao.

“Luckily, you were smart and left a mark on the wall. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to find you!” San Mao looked at me, was also very excited, and heavily hammered my shoulder twice as he spoke.

“The mark on the wall?” At that moment, I remembered the arrow I saw earlier. I mistakenly thought that it was a mark made by San Mao and the rest, but now it seems that it wasn’t, it was most likely left behind by the dead person at the bottom of the stairs.

“Hello …” You guys wait for me! ” At this time, Mao Tou’s shout came from the passageway again, and after that, he staggered over with two short legs, in a posture that was similar to that of a ten year old child.

Mao Tou ran in front of us and gasped for breath with his hands on his waist. When he looked up and saw the stairs behind me, he became excited and snatched the flashlight from the Taoist.

“This must be the entrance to the ancient tomb!”

I forcefully resisted the urge to slap him, pointed to the stairs, and said to the Taoist priest and San Mao: “There’s a dead person below.”

The two of them were shocked when they heard that, and the both of them squeezed to Mao Tou’s side and peeked their heads down.

“Is this the army here?” “Look at him in his military uniform …” The Taoist said with some doubts.

“It’s not for the army. They don’t have such uniforms. It looks like the uniform for the American Special Forces in the movies!” San Mao replied.

“I said it! The Americans must have come to steal the tomb! ” Mao Tou jumped up and down excitedly.

“Let’s go down and take a look.” San Mao straightened his body and was about to walk down.

“Sigh …” After being frightened so many times, my curiosity had long disappeared. Now, my only thought was to quickly leave this dark and secluded underground maze. I shouted at them, “This place is a little demonic. Let’s go up as soon as possible.”

“I’m fine.” San Mao waved his hands and said: “Even living people are not afraid, what’s there to be afraid of? Let’s go down and take a look, we’ll leave immediately. You just wait up there.”

I couldn’t stop them, so I let them go and watched them walk to the foot of the steps and pick up the bodies.

“Not a foreigner!” I heard the abbot say it.

At this time, I suddenly felt something going on behind me, as if someone was secretly spying on me. I suddenly turned around and swept the flashlight along the road I came from, and the moment I turned around, I suddenly saw a person with half of his face stretched out at a fork in the road, staring at us. I looked carefully, and shockingly, it was Zhou Lingwu, who was running away just now.

When Zhou Lingwu saw me, he jumped in fright, shrunk his head, and ran back.

“Zhou Lingwu!” I shouted towards his back, but Zhou Lingwu only stopped for a moment, then continued to run.

I chased after him for two steps, but I was afraid that I would repeat the same mistake as before. I stopped in my tracks and shouted at him, “Zhou Lingwu! Your brother is dead! ”

Zhou Lingwu stopped and turned around, looking at me in shock.

Seeing that the topic was open, he continued, “Your brother Zhou Lingwen, a few days ago he was in a car accident …”

Zhou Lingwu’s face immediately became sorrowful. After staring blankly for a while, he actually slapped himself a few times, as he shouted, “It’s me who harmed him … “I was the one who harmed him …”

Zhou Lingwen died in a car accident. He was still overseas at the time, so how could he be the culprit?

“No, no, no …” He was killed in a car accident while I was still at the scene. ” I was afraid that my actions would scare him away again, so I could only comfort him while slowly approaching him.

“You don’t understand!” Zhou Lingwu became even more excited and cried out: “If I hadn’t sent him the immortal medicine, he wouldn’t have died! If it wasn’t for the fact that I took the elixir, they wouldn’t have died! ”

“What?” What elixir? ” In my heart, I thought, “Could this person have gone mad? What is he talking about? Also, who are they? Could there be other dead people?”

“I shouldn’t have been so greedy. I’ve let them down, I’ve let you down! I am guilty! ” Zhou Lingwu was completely incoherent as he roared.

“Don’t worry, speak slowly. What is this immortal medicine? Who gave it to you? ” I crept within ten meters of him.

“Demon!” The devil! ” Zhou Lingwu suddenly became extremely terrified, extending a hand and pointing straight at me as he shouted.

What devil? I looked up and down at myself, wondering if I was that scary.

“Don’t eat me! Don’t eat me! ” Zhou Lingwu suddenly roared, he turned and ran.

I suddenly realised that Zhou Lingwu was not pointing at me, I turned my head and coincidentally saw Clan Leader San Mao and Mao Tou dashing towards me at full speed.

“Run, run, run!” San Mao waved and shouted fiercely at me.

What’s wrong? I didn’t know what to do until I looked past the three of them and saw a black figure behind them. It was the corpse lying at the foot of the stairs!
