Chapter 54 Chapter 3 Everyone is dead

After the fat man went up, I heard various sounds—his coughing and dragging of various things. These sounds lasted for more than ten minutes. I finally got impatient waiting below, and asked uneasily, "What's wrong? What's the situation? How are they doing?" I was very worried.When I heard that the old woman and the younger brother were there, my heart tightened.Then the fat man told me that I might not be able to accept it. I really can't accept it?Not necessarily, I really don’t think so. When I entered the ancient building, I told myself very clearly in my heart that I would probably face some deaths—I had such a prediction.On a larger level, I've been building the mentality that they're dead from the start.Therefore, I can face death, but the process is not particularly comfortable.

I asked several times before the fat man poked his head out and said to me, "Come up." I thought you would die if you just said a word. Is there any problem?I have to go up and see for myself. I reached out to grab the fat man, stepped on the edge of the charred coffin, and climbed up with all my strength. Above is a very, very small mezzanine, about 1.23 meters high.I saw that it was full of people, all from Mrs. Huo's team. There was an indescribable stench in the entire mezzanine.The smell of feces and rot, the smell of rot, is almost indistinguishable from the mixture.

I covered my mouth and nose, and saw a lot of traces of dried liquid on the ground.The liquid, which should have come from where the men had been lying, had dried on the wooden floor, leaving a deep red mark. The fat man kept coughing and said to me, "Basically they are all dead." I looked around and it was difficult to make out these people in the dark.The first thing I recognized was Mrs. Huo, because her features were very obvious.I crawled over and came to her side.I found that she had been dead for quite a long time, even the eyeballs had been clouded and turned an amber color, her mouth was wide open, and her facial expression looked particularly uneasy.

She must have died quite unwillingly, I said to myself.I sighed. To be honest, I have no feelings for Mrs. Huo, but she is an elder after all. I still couldn't restrain the sadness in my heart when I saw someone I knew turned into a corpse. Continuing to look over the side, I saw several faces I recognized, but they were all frozen by now.After death, feces and urine flowed freely.These usually all-powerful players have all turned into this appearance now, which is a bit unsightly. "Where's little brother?" My heart sank completely, knowing that everything was over.Although it was different from what the ghost said, they seemed to have found a place where they could hide from the alkaline mist, but the result was still the same.

Surprisingly, I don't feel sad, but I can feel a very strong emotion, ready to spew, this emotion is beyond all feelings, and its name is "meltdown".But I suppressed it abruptly. I don't know if my ability to escape from reality has grown to a certain level, or my mind can't accept such information and choose to bypass it by myself. The fat man took a flashlight to the corner next to it. There was a pile of clothes there, and he said to me: "Don't look at it yet. Let's see if there is anything of value here. This place is too smelly." I cursed in my heart: "Can you be more ruthless? The little brother is dead, you still think it stinks." Thinking about it, I walked over and ripped off the clothes over there.I saw the little brother's face shrunk in the pile of clothes at once.

I froze for a moment, and suddenly froze. At that moment, my mind became blank. I can't describe the blankness in my heart, suddenly I don't know what I should do. died? Just kidding. really dead?Hey, what kind of international joke is this. "Wake up, go home." I patted his face.Suddenly I feel very funny.I turned my head and smiled at the fat man: "Look at my brother." "I know." Fatty said on the side, his voice was very low. Then, my hands began to tremble uncontrollably. I looked at my hands and found that there was no sadness in my heart. My consciousness didn't react, but my body already instinctively felt the despair.

I said in my heart that you are so fucking real, you are really fucking dead, Poker is really fucking dead! This kind of thing still exists in this world, and Boyouping will die. This Zhang family ancient building is really amazing.I always thought that the ghost image was scaremongering, but now I just feel that the world is spinning. Poker bottle is a miracle. His death suddenly makes people feel that the whole world has become extremely real and cruel.In this world, can't all miracles be eternal?Or, there was no such thing as a miracle in the first place, everything was a coincidence, and now the coincidence is finally gone.

It was a long time before I began to feel a faint sadness.I could feel that my instincts were suppressing the crushing emotions, but there were still all sorts of uncomfortable feelings leaking out of the emotional pressure cooker.I felt that I couldn't let my emotions go, that if I was sad, I might die here too. The feeling in my heart is very strange, not just sad, I don't know if others can understand my complicated mood. Desperation at first, and then more of a distrust of what I was seeing.My mind was blank for a long time, and all the emotions in my heart came out. I've always wondered how I would feel if Poker Bottle died.I thought maybe it was extremely sad, maybe I became a little numb because of thinking too much and doing too many psychological constructions, and felt that I could bear it completely.Now that I really encountered it, it turned into a strange mood that I couldn't handle myself.

After this, I have been in a state of entanglement, not knowing whether I should be sad, or pretend to be calm and hold back the pain, and in the end the former slowly gained the upper hand.I did nothing beside his dead body, just stared blankly. But just when I felt that tears were about to flow down, I suddenly saw Poker Bottle move his hand and scratch it on the floor. The fat man shouted from the side: "What are you doing? Don't look, come and help!" My tears still fell due to inertia, but the feeling in my heart was extremely complicated, so I turned my head and stammered to the fat man: "He, he, he seems to be cheating!"

"Damn it, my little brother can cheat corpses, what an awesome zongzi, the king of zongzi." Fatty said, "Stop fucking nonsense, hurry up." "He, he, he really cheated the corpse!" I said, and there were countless associations in my mind.I thought about what should I do if my little brother really turns into a zombie. Are we going to rob a tomb with a zombie?That's not tomb robbery, it's a diplomatic activity. The fat man saw my strange expression, so he asked me, "What's the matter?" He said and walked over.After walking a few steps, suddenly, another corpse beside him also moved.

The fat man was not afraid, and walked straight to my side.I pointed at the corpse he passed by just now, and stammered: "That person also moved, is this a corpse breeding ground? They all cheated the corpse." "What kind of corpse breeding ground, these people are still alive." The fat man said. "Alive?" I couldn't understand.The fat man said: "I didn't say that everyone here is dead! Many people are alive, but the situation is not very good. Quickly look around, if there is anything useful - water, medicine, etc., feed the living people Some water." Only then did I realize what he meant by what he just said, so I scolded: "If you didn't say it earlier, I was scared to death by you!" "I'm not the same as you. You're only thinking about life and death, but what I'm thinking about is how many people can be saved." The fat man said, "My brother's pulse is still stable. I felt it just now. There are a few of them who are definitely not good. You Hurry up to the hospice care and rescue it by the way." I glanced at the little brother, his face was very pale, and he looked no different from the corpses around him.I went up and touched his neck, he really had a pulse. However, his pulse was not strong, and it was obvious that his physical condition was already very bad. In an instant, all my emotions receded like an ebbing tide, and my whole body softened.I was about to pass out when my eyes were dark, and I said to myself, it scared my little heart to death.The fat man patted his hand again to attract my attention: "Hurry up and save people, brother is fine, don't patronize brother, these people are raised by parents." Fatty is right, in this case, if I don't save other people but only save my little brother, it is also against my own principles of life. I took a deep breath to dissipate the exhaustion caused by the violent emotional changes in my heart, and calmed down. I walked over to those people and pulled out the kettle from them—the water in it had been stale for too long.We put the disinfectant in it, and one by one, we found those who still had a pulse and body temperature, and fed them water one by one.Those people are almost unconscious, and their bodies have been weakened to the limit.Some are almost identical to corpses. "What is the reason? Is it poisoning?" I asked the fat man. The fat man ripped the hair and collars of these people.I saw the festered skin on their bodies. "You can see that many of the gaps here are filled with cloth strips and oil wax, which basically seals the place. Although the mist content here is very small, the mist is still highly poisonous. If you stay here for a long time, you will not be able to breathe." You will slowly inhale a lot, and you will still be poisoned." The fat man said, "You will die in a second if you fall into potassium cyanide, and you will die in a second if you inhale potassium cyanide—this is a truth." "You uneducated people know potassium cyanide," I said. "Of course, anyone who has read detective novels knows that." Fatty said, "Potassium cyanide and Huo Yuanjia are both my idols." I said: "Then what about these people? Do you think there is anything that can be used in the medicine they bring?" "If they had available, they would have used them. But you found no, none of them were wearing gas masks. It seems that gas masks are useless against this kind of gas." I feel strange in my heart——generally in this situation, people who can wear a gas mask will definitely wear it. Even if it’s useless, it’s good to ask for psychological comfort. what's the situation. "Is that how you came up?" I asked.Fatty nodded. I thought about it and thought it was wrong, and said: "You are wrong, they must have been wearing gas masks before. But obviously someone found this place, someone checked their faces, and wanted to see who died, so put the gas masks on." Take it down." The fat man nodded after hearing this: "That makes sense, who is it?" I thought about it, and felt that the most likely thing was that their opinions had diverged, and the team was divided into two parts—one part might be led by Poker Ping, and the other part was led by Mrs. Huo.Then the old lady Huo encountered some danger, and Poker Face came to rescue them.After arriving, I found that the old lady Huo was no longer able to die, and at the same time Poker Bottle was also trapped. Therefore, people here have two different states, one is dead, and the other is still breathing their last breath.Poker bottle must have been poisoned after he came in.But the poisonous fog should have dissipated, so he removed the gas masks of these people, wanting to see who these people are. I think that's the most likely scenario given the current situation.However, after thinking about it, I realized something was wrong—it might be someone from Jude Kao who came in and found this place. I remembered that the little brother's knife was in Jude Kao's hand, and he said it was brought out by one of the guys. It seems that the guy should have been here.Even if he hadn't been there, someone must have taken the knife out of here and given it to him. I thought of the horrible look of that guy and the way he looked at me, and I still felt strange in my heart. No one knows what that look means, and I can't verify it now. We searched around this secret room and found a secret door to get out.This should be a compartment for stacking some formal sacrificial objects.After I opened the door, I found that the door was full of things - all kinds of strange blue and white porcelain vases.However, the most valuable thing is not the vase itself, but the clothes wrapped in it.All these things were randomly piled up outside the secret room. I understood at a glance why there was such a secret room and why Mrs. Huo came into this place.Because this is a calligraphy and painting room, it may be filled with all kinds of precious calligraphy and paintings.If these calligraphy and paintings are soaked in strong alkali mist, they will absolutely not be preserved.At that time, Lei, who designed the Zhang family's ancient building, must have specially designed this small airtight room to protect these calligraphy and paintings. The old lady Huo must have discovered this room after looking at the design drawings of Xiang Lei. Sure enough, he is a master.If it weren't for this trick, they would probably be completely melted by now, and all I can see is a lot of bones full of dried meat.At that time, I could only judge which one was Poker Bottle based on the length of the skeleton's fingers.
