Endless Road of Corpse - C81
“This… “This …” Mao Tou said while trembling: “We haven’t even opened the coffin, how did we get blown away?”
“Which one of you moved?” I asked curiously, but San Mao and the Taoist both stared with their eyes wide open, shaking their heads with a look of disbelief.
I reached out my hand to see if there was any wind, but there was no air in this confined space.
“Maybe it’s because he was just soaked.” At this moment, I felt a little strange as I tried to think of the terrifying place, but immediately after, a series of “gege gege” sounds suddenly rang out!
This sound came so suddenly, it was so clear in this extremely quiet place that it was even a bit ear-piercing.
“Chi …” Grid… Grid… Higgle… “Tsk tsk …”
I felt a chill run down my spine. Wasn’t this the same voice that had used the Morse code to tell us about the latitude and longitude of this place?
And the source of the sound… Very clearly, it came from the huge coffin in front of us!
I looked at the Taoist in disbelief and found that his face was ashen, even the normally crazy San Mao had his mouth wide open, his face filled with fear.
“This, this, this, this …” This… The King Xu Yan that the Dao Lord was talking about probably had a thousand years of history, right? How did it become a dumpling? ” Mao Tou was so scared that his teeth chattered and he trembled.
I thought to myself, Western Zhou is more than three thousand years ago, if this was a real King Xu Yan’s zombie, it would be a real thousand years old corpse!
The Taoist held out a hand, signaling us not to speak. He took two deep breaths, as if suppressing his fear, and listened for a moment.
“Chi …” Grid… Grid… Higgle… “Tsk tsk …”
The sounds continued to ring out, and it was obvious that there was someone inside the coffin … Or some monster pounding.
“It’s still SOS!” After listening for a while, the Taoist raised his head and said, “I’m afraid someone is trapped inside!”
I nodded my head in agreement. This meant that the inside of the coffin definitely wasn’t a zombie from King Xu Yan. No matter what, I couldn’t believe that a monster from thousands of years ago could actually understand the Morse password!
Was it MaggieQ? I was just about to suggest that I open the coffin when the light dimmed again. I looked down and saw that another candle had been put out.
Ah!” Mao Tou shouted, his eyes wide open as he stared at the extinguished candle: “I saw, there is no wind here, the candle suddenly swayed, as if a ghost had blown on it, and extinguished by itself! The ancestor is warning us. The dumplings in the coffin are so powerful that we can’t afford to offend them!
After being frightened by Mao Tou, I also felt goosebumps all over my body, and the “hehe” inside the coffin … “Tsk tsk …” His voice continued to ring.
What should he do? Do you want to open the coffin? I was hesitant, and looked at the Taoist and San Mao, both of them looking confused. At that moment, the sound of water came again from the pool.
I turned my head and shone the flashlight into the hole at the bottom of the pool.
“What is it? Didn’t you say that this place should have a lot of water? ” I asked.
“Strange …” The Taoist scratched his head and said, “Logically speaking, we shouldn’t be in high tide so quickly …” “Could it be …”
“Could it be what?” I asked.
The Daoist shook his head and said in disbelief, “I once saw a formation in an ancient book. It said that the ancients could use the tide to rise and fall every month to carve out certain waterways, and these waterways would connect or block each other depending on the water level. The final goal was that after every set period of time, like every two hours, they would borrow the tide’s power to pour water into the pond … It was almost an ancient clock. When I looked at it, I felt that it was incredibly powerful, as if it only existed in theory, but this … It seems to be a little like that formation! ”
“Using water as the bell?” I whispered.
“Mm …” The Daoist nodded and said, “When the tide on one side rises, the current will flow towards the other side. When the tide falls, the water level on the other side will be higher. Because of the difference in gravity, the water will begin to flow back …” First, we have to accurately calculate the time of the flood and then carve a waterway according to the tide. As the time of the flood is different, we need to connect to several underground rivers, which is also the reason why the military didn’t discover the waterway we were rushing down previously. ”
“How difficult is this?” San Mao exclaimed and said, “This emperor is really full of food. In this underground world, no one has seen the black cloth around him. Does he want to go to court on time or something? ”
The Taoist waved his hand and said, “King Xu Yan is not an emperor, he’s just a monarch of a kingdom …”
“Hey, that’s not the same thing!” San Mao said indifferently.
The Daoist shook his head and continued, “The ancients saw the world after their death as more important than when they were alive, especially the nobility, believing that they would ascend to heaven after their death. This hour is the most important matter, but there is no mistake!”
Since this water is used to measure time, it is of no harm to us now, I had originally wanted to tell San Mao and the Daoist to stop looking, and came back to consider whether or not to open the lid, but before I could even finish speaking, I heard a creepy moan suddenly coming out!
Startled, I thought the black and white fickleness had finally made its way through the water hole, and I quickly picked up Bell’s survival knife again. However, after staring at the waterfall for a long time, he still couldn’t see them come out.
“Holy sh * t!” There it is! ” Mao Tou suddenly exclaimed, he pointed towards the bottom of the pond, following the route to take a look, he couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air!
At this moment, a head slowly emerged from the hole at the bottom of the pool!
This head is completely black, and his face is covered with mud. We can’t even tell the facial features of his mouth and nose. He was pushed out of the cave by the water, moaning as he slowly appeared like a ghost from hell!
As soon as this hideous devil appeared, he saw us and stared at us as we began to howl, and soon he was half out of his body, waving his hands at us as if we were gold, silver, or a rare delicacy.
Very quickly, just like a snake spitting out its entire prey, this devilish black ghost was also completely pushed out of the hole. Then, as if it were producing twins, another head began to emerge from the hole!
“Zongzi …” “So many dumplings …” Mao Tou’s teeth trembled as he said, “If I had known earlier, the Ghost Blows Out the Light would not have been such a good omen …”
In the blink of an eye, they had already vomited over ten times. Fortunately, these monsters seemed to have been soaked in the water for too long, and their movements were extremely clumsy, especially in the water, where they were unable to even stand up, and could only struggle to climb towards us.
Then I realized that these people were wearing white coats or military uniforms, and some of them were riddled with bullet marks. We finally knew where the people in this huge military base were.
“This… This… “What should we do …” The Taoist was also trembling, and his words were incomplete.
I also looked around anxiously, trying to find a place to avoid the group of living dead, but there was no entrance at all. The only channel that could bring us down was so narrow that only one person could enter it, and it was slanted upwards at a very large angle. The inside was covered with moss, so it was impossible for us to climb back up from there!
At this moment, the monsters crawled closer and closer to us. The few monsters at the front have already landed on the shore, standing up shakily and walking towards us. Their bodies were probably soaked in water for a long time, each of them swollen and white, their faces swollen like a pig’s head. Several of them had been hit in the face by bullets, and the wounds had turned outwards.
“F * ck!” San Mao flung his rod, scolded him, and was about to charge forward.
“Don’t be rash!” I grabbed hold of him, and by this time, there were already more than a dozen zombies climbing up from the shore, and the cave was still constantly spitting them out. Judging from the current situation, it was impossible for us to kill them with just a few knives and a swing of the stick, although at this time, I am not sure if these Zombie would bite or even have the ability to infect, but I instinctively felt that these things were very dangerous and should be avoided.
“Then what do you think we should do?” San Mao roared, gasping for breath as he spoke unwillingly.
At this moment, the knocking sound from the coffin suddenly became louder, and there was no longer any sound. Grid… Grid… Higgle… “Tsk tsk …” The rhythmic beep and the thing inside seemed to know of the situation outside as well, and it became irritable.
I looked at the coffin, then turned my head to look at the Zombie that was continuously pressing on me, my heart suddenly moved.
“She’s reminding us!” I suddenly understood!
“What?” Who’s reminding us? ” San Mao roared.
“She!” I pointed at the coffin and said, “Hurry, open the lid, we’ll hide inside!”
San Mao was startled, but when he turned his head to look at the Zombie, he quickly walked up the stairs.
“Fuck you!” “Forget it!” San Mao roared, he pulled me and ran, the two of us ran to the coffin, grabbed onto the coffin lid and started to push it forcefully, at the same time, the Taoist priest also joined in, with the three of us working together, the coffin lid started to slowly move.
The coffin lid emitted a dull sound, and slowly expanded from a crack. Since the coffin was taller than me, opening the lid was the same height as my forehead, so I couldn’t see what was inside, and when we pushed it open halfway, it was fully accessible, and just as I was about to tiptoe to see what was inside, I suddenly felt a chill in my hand, and a withered white hand reached out from the crack, grabbing my wrist!
