Chapter 9: The Corpse Shres of the Stilt Pit

A large black shadow came down from above, rushing towards us.

I rolled on the spot, dodging the black mass, feeling like I was being slapped on the back by something big with a fist, like being lightly punched by a girl or two. I got up from the ground, pulled out the hunting net that I had prepared, and threw it forward. "Ah, it's a bat......" Captain Wu shouted next to him, and the people around him panicked and waved with the things in their hands to block it. Fortunately, these dozens of bats flew by, and they did not entangle repeatedly, but circled outside.

They could be seen to be a little afraid of approaching the stone table where the entrails were kept.

After the panic, seven men gathered together, and I saw three bats fluttering in the net, as large as the two fists of adults when they had not spread their wings, with pointed and triangular ears, a very short snout, shaped like a cone, and long and sharp canine teeth, sharp as knives, and very vicious and terrifying in appearance, squeaking as if they had endured great pain.

The only policeman shone a flashlight on it, startled, and said it looked like a vampire bat.

There was not much basis for what he said, but everyone's hearts were lifted. At this time, my flashlight moved to the place where the bats were scattered just now, which was okay, but my hands trembled, and I saw that the dense black shadows of nearly a thousand heads gathered and squirmed on the side of the cave roof, very crowded, some were flapping their wings, fluttering in the air, and the white fangs occasionally exposed, there was a cold light, which was very terrifying.

Captain Wu also saw it, and he immediately made a decision, saying that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and he should evacuate quickly.

With that, everyone jogged slowly towards the entrance of the passage, and I put away my hunting net, let go of the three furry, ugly-looking bats, and returned lightly. We ran all the way through the passage for dozens of meters, and found that there were no bats chasing us, so our hearts relaxed a little. I found that we were actually very wrong to enter the hole, and wouldn't it be better to lay a trap near a thousand-year-old tree and wait for the rabbit? In the end, we are still confused by the dog's saying that the dwarf mule lived in a dirt nest under the tree, but he pointed us to a cave mouth.

When we first started researching, we thought it was a cellar or something, so we miscalculated.

Running in the dark, the oxygen content is low, and I don't run for a while before I run out of breath. Finally arrived at the three-way intersection, we stopped, Captain Wu held on to the rock wall and gasped while saying: "I don't know how deep this cave is, I guess we have already disturbed the dwarf mule, and I am afraid that this mission will not be completed." After he finished speaking, he went to look for the chalk mark he had drawn, looked for it for a while, and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, what about the chalk I just painted?" Where did it go? "We all came up to see, where are the pink marks on this bare wall?

However, I can't see any traces of wiping.

Some people wondered if it was because we ran in the wrong direction, and just now we encountered a fork in the road, and you didn't stop, so we ran this way.

Captain Wu was very strange, grabbed the soldier and asked, "There was a fork in the road just now?" How do I not know the way? "I wonder how we could have a fork in the road, when we didn't just run down a straight road. The soldier said with certainty yes, there was one more than a hundred meters back from the hall. As soon as he finished speaking, the policeman also chimed in and said that there is such a one!

Hearing them say this, I felt an eerie coldness that went from my feet to the top of my head.

Is it again...... Ghost hit the wall?

Impossible! I have flowers here, how can I run into ghosts hitting the wall? Could it be that the dwarf mules are doing illusions? Hearing them say this, Captain Wu was also anxious, he took a flashlight and shone it into the dark passage of the circuit, which was surprisingly quiet. Then he moved the flashlight back and shone it on us one by one, counting: 1.2.3...... When he counted to 5, his voice trembled, and he asked, "What about Hu Youran?" ”

When he said that, I realized that one of us was missing.

Hu Youran, this name immediately reminds me of a young man with a pimple face and a smile on his face, he has been in the back of the hall today, and he was the one who found the internal organs on the stone table in the stone hall just now. Seeing that there were fewer people, Captain Wu immediately became anxious, in this ghost bend cave, if he got lost, it would be a big problem. We shouted several times, and there was a faint echo in the empty passage - "Hu Youran ......"

Captain Wu said no, he must be found. Then we turned back and searched carefully.

This time, I was concerned, and I kept reciting the nine-character mantra in my mouth, letting my breath resonate with the sound, contacting Duoduo, and asking her to give me guidance. After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a faint cry for help. Captain Wu shouted to stop, let us carefully search for the source of the sound, slowly search, and finally determined the source of the sound. We were close together in a protruding area of the twist, and all we could see was a stilt pit here. The pit was only the size of a washbasin, and it was attached to it, and there was a warm wind blowing and the smell of blood was very uncomfortable.

It was dark, and it didn't know the depth, and the cry came from below.

Captain Wu lay on the ground and shouted, Hu Youran, Hu Youran......

Immediately, a faint voice came from below, with a crying voice: "Captain, captain, my foot is broken, it hurts......" Captain Wu asked what was going on, Hu Youran said that the flashlight had fallen off, it was invisible, it was dark everywhere, it was very empty, and there was an echo when he spoke. As he was talking, the two people who said that there was a fork in the road just now pointed to the rock wall in front of him and shouted, this is the fork in the road? When I look at it, isn't it just a slightly protruding stone wall? If you look closely, you will find that the texture of this stone wall is somewhat special, layered on top of each other, and at first glance it does look like a road.

And the stilt pit is in front of this wall, Hu Youran just saw it wrong and fell into it with one foot.

But why didn't he make a sound when he fell?

Are we in too much of a hurry, or does he simply not have time to call?

I can't take care of these questions at the moment, the rope we are prepared, and the sound is not deep, a few people hurriedly tied the rope and put it down, and put it more than four meters to the end - fortunately, I know that some of the caves have dozens of meters of stilt pits, and they fall directly into meat sauce. The bottom caught it, and it was very heavy, and a few of us tied our waists with ropes and pulled them up. The soldier had more than 100 pounds, and the strength of several people was not heavy, we pulled two meters on it, but we felt that the rope suddenly sank, and before we could react, we heard a terrible scream from inside the hole: "Ah...... What is this, ah, it hurts! It hurts...... Hurry up, O Tamathara......"

He struggled to his feet, and our rope immediately sank, and it was dead.

Captain Wu lay at the entrance of the cave and shone a flashlight, as if he saw something terrifying, and shouted to hurry up, hurry up. We didn't know what was going on in the road, but we struggled to pull it out, and the warrior under the cave called Hu Youran kept yelling—saying something irreverent, howling like killing a pig—and leaving the whole dark space in. It was full of terrifying fear, as if it was about to befall him.

Ah--with this miserable scream, we felt the strength below loosen, and all of us pulled hard, and Hu Youran was pulled up by us at once, very easily. However, at the same time, I felt that my face was hot, a wipe, all warm blood, and when I looked down, I saw that this little soldier who was pulled up by us was all gnawed bloody from the waist and pelvis down, and there was almost no good meat left on the two calves. He was pulled out by us, and lay on the ground, with blood foaming out of his mouth, his voice howling, his whole body convulsed spasmally, his eyes rolled up, and he was no longer alive.

Captain Wu has been guarding the entrance of the cave, and when people came up, he naturally shook the blood on his face, he saw Hu Youran's tragic situation, looked surprised, wiped his eyes that were covered with blood, and then knelt down and took Hu Youran's hand and asked what was wrong, and when he saw that he didn't react, he pinched people again. The policeman couldn't stand the smell of blood, and suddenly knelt on the side and vomited. There was also the sound of thin cords in the cave, squeaking, and boiling. A soldier took a slight charge and fired a string of bullets into it, and then stopped.

Captain Wu knelt next to Hu Youran, all the blood flowing on the ground was viscous, Hu Youran had fainted once in pain, and woke up a few seconds later, looked at us, and asked what's wrong? He didn't seem to feel any pain, but he said that it was cold, and he didn't even answer what Captain Wu asked him. I saw that his eyes were blank, so I interjected to ask what his last words were. He reacted and wanted to look up at his feet, but as soon as he remembered, he called softly again: "Ah......hhhh

This sound seemed to completely overdraw his physical strength, his face was distorted with pain, and after holding back for a while, he stretched his brows as much as he could, and sighed softly: "Alas, I have been a soldier for more than a year, and I haven't been home, I miss my mother......"

When he had said this, he was silent. He died unwillingly, with his eyes open.

Hu Youran was a native of Hubei, only 19 years old, and spent the same years, but he died in a cave deep in the mountains.

The men next to him were all his comrades-in-arms, and tears couldn't stop falling for a while. But this time is not the time to be sad, I dragged Captain Wu and asked what I saw just now, and he said that it was a mouse, a mouse like a kitten, a large number, all stuck to Youran's body, one after another...... I said, why didn't you throw one up after the last?

He said that he didn't know what to do, and when the flashlight shone, all his eyes were red and crystalline.

I remembered the sentence of the miscellaneous hairy trail - what is a demon, abnormal must be a demon! Li Decai also said that when he disappeared, he had seen many big rats running around in front of him. Rats are actually very afraid of people, and people say that they are "timid as rats". However, those who dare to take the initiative to attack humans must have eaten human flesh, and they are very fierce, and this kind of rat is also called a corpse shrew. We all know that after death, the corpse is the best bacterial and viral medium, the plague can survive in the bones of the corpse for 60 years, anthrax for about 40 years, the corpse poison that exists in it is extremely powerful, if it is infected, and after being eaten by the corpse shrew, the corpse shrew, it is very aggressive, and highly poisonous.

I grabbed a large handful of glutinous rice and threw it into the hole, and then I heard a squeaking sound, which was very painful.

I stopped the others from trying to take Hu Youran's body with me, and didn't let them touch it. At this moment, Hu Youran, after a while, all his body was full of poison, and if he was not careful, he could infect people. They didn't do it, saying that I didn't understand their comradeship, brotherhood. When people are dead, they should leave a corpse for him so that they can give an account to his parents. I looked at Captain Wu and asked if one brother had died, did you want all the brothers to die? He was stunned for a moment, stared at me, then gritted his teeth, and said put it here first, organize people and tools in a few days, and come back!

After wrapping Hu Youran's body in the cloth we had brought with us and placing it on a suspended stone platform, we walked towards the exit again, marking along the way.

At this time, I felt that the atmosphere was very dull, and everyone stopped talking.

The policeman patted me and whispered that I had made the right decision. I didn't speak, I didn't ask for understanding, I just felt that the decision to go into the hole was really wrong. Walking back, the chalk at the fork in the road is gone, we don't care, we turn left when we come, and we follow the return when we return. However, when we had passed through the three forks, I heard a whining cry in the wind, stopped, licked it in my mouth with my hand, released it into the air, and then grabbed Captain Wu in front of me.

He turned his head and glared at me, and I said helplessly, "We're lost!" ”
