Chapter 45 Chapter 44: The Jade Corpse

Katsuo quickly turned off the flashlight and moved closer to me. We groped and slowly backed away until our backs touched the smooth and cold rock wall. I suspect that it is some kind of underground animal, and animals that live in such a dark environment for a long time will have their visual nerves degenerate severely until they lose their function, and rely entirely on hearing, smell, touch and other ways to perceive the surrounding environment, just like Like marine life that lives in the deep sea. We held our breath and pricked up our ears to listen carefully to the movement around us. Fortunately, apart from the sound of running water, there was no other abnormality, and the thing didn't seem to be approaching.I breathed a sigh of relief, and gently stretched out my hand to wipe off the water that kept splashing on my head.

At that time, I just flicked it subconsciously. Unexpectedly, when my fingers were cold, I suddenly felt that my hands were full of sticky things, and then my arms were itchy, as if countless ants were crawling.I was nauseated, I shook my hand subconsciously, and inadvertently grabbed the wet hair-like thing, bursts of cold mucus kept dripping on my arm and face. There was a "thud" in my heart, and I immediately became hairy. I quickly retracted my hand and looked up in horror.Katsuo seemed to have noticed the abnormality too, she didn't make a sound, and suddenly turned on the flashlight.I only felt a flash in front of my eyes, and suddenly a face protruded from the top of my head. That face was completely covered by hair, and it was only about a foot away from me, facing me face to face.That face looked extremely terrifying, it seemed that there was no bone support, all the facial features were distorted, and the whole face was distorted and collapsed, like the swollen and pale face of a drowned person.At this moment, the face was like burning wax, dripping pus, and the disgusting slime I caught was this thing.

I screamed in fright, the thing was startled by me, shrank its head, and shrank back twice, climbed on the rock protruding above my head, and stood upside down, Katsuo was so frightened that his hands shook , the light circle of the flashlight fell on the thing, so I saw its appearance at a glance. The whole body of this thing is pure white and smooth, like jade, and some parts are still somewhat transparent. I was shocked and suddenly felt that this thing looked familiar. It was the kind that came out of a human-shaped coffin. I don’t know where it came from. Could the one that came out be the one that came out from the bottom just now?

I didn't want to think about it anymore, I turned around and said to Sheng Nan: "Run!" Katsuo was also unambiguous, and he didn't know where the strength came from at the moment. He climbed up along the cracks in the rock. When I turned my head, the strange corpse was staring at us with its head up. He didn't make any sound, and seemed to have no reaction at all, just staring at us all the time. Being looked at by it like this, my heart is straight up, if it directly jumps up to attack us, I can feel better, staring at us like this, I don't know what the hell it is trying to do, and I became flustered for a while, bumping and throwing the ground. After falling several times, he almost missed and fell from the crack of the rock.

I was bruised in several places in an instant, and it hurt like hell, but I couldn't care about these at the moment. Seeing that Katsuo had already left a big part behind, I hurried to catch up with all my might. The rock crevice above has changed a bit, and it is getting narrower and narrower. I struggled to catch up with Katsuo, but suddenly she stopped and said to me in surprise: "No, the front is blocked, and the exit is too small to get through. !" Didn't my heart say that the bigger the water flow, the bigger the channel?How to say get smaller and get smaller!I poked my head out in doubt, and was so angry that I almost cried: the passage ahead was originally wide, but a pile of stones of various sizes appeared from nowhere, blocking the exit, leaving only A small hole the size of a dog hole, with a normal body shape, it is impossible to get out.At this moment, heavy panting sounds came from under our feet, and something came towards us like a ghost.

"That terrible thing is coming up! Hurry up..." I wanted to urge Katsuo to hurry up, but suddenly I realized that the entrance of the cave is too small for us to get out. I reached out to touch something to defend myself, but I couldn't even touch a stone in the surrounding area. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seeing the strange corpse crawling over the rock wall like a gecko, I wanted to die together. "Hurry up, let's crawl out!" Katsuo said suddenly, then tore off his coat, freeing his hand to tie his messy hair behind his head. "What? Climb...Climb out?" I was taken aback, and wondered if her brain was squeezed by a stone. Such a narrow hole allows us to crawl out. Do you think we are all weasels?

But then I saw a scene that surprised me: Katsuo's body suddenly softened, and he posed in a posture like practicing yoga, poked one leg into the hole, and then went in like an eel. The whole process was still a bit difficult, but in the end she managed to get through and shouted to me from the other side of the hole: "Throw away everything on your body and try it, it should be fine!" I looked at my body, and I was frowning immediately. Although my body is not as bloated as Sanpao, it is not too reserved. If I want to drill this hole, I may not be able to scrape off two layers of flesh.

If a person is forced to a certain point, he will calm down, and when the matter has come to an end, I will fight it out. I will look at the hole with force and calmness, and clean out the gravel at the bottom with my hands, and the hole will grow bigger and bigger, but It can't be cleared much yet, because the biggest boulders above are supported by these rubbles, which will weigh down once the bottom is hollowed out.It is still secondary for the stone to be pressed down to block the opening of the hole. I am afraid that it will be directly pressed down while I am drilling the hole. I simply stripped off my upper body, and tried my best to drill in through the hole. Although it was very difficult, if I could bear the pain and not be afraid of being scratched, I could barely pass. I twisted my body and crawled out. After a while, I leaned into the hole with my whole body, and finally stretched out my hand outside the hole. Seeing this, Katsuo held my hand and pulled it out desperately.But the hole narrowed a little in the middle, and I felt that I was stuck by some uncleaned rubble, and my whole body seemed to be stuck in a chimney, unable to move at all.

When I was in a difficult situation, I suddenly felt a tight ankle, and a huge force directly pulled me backwards.I was shocked, knowing that the strange corpse was chasing after me, I kicked my legs desperately to break away from the thing, then pulled out my hands with difficulty, and stretched my body out by grabbing the ground. The strange corpse at the back refused to give up at all, and kept following me closely, probably because it felt that its hands and feet were inconvenient, so it actually leaned in and squeezed its face directly on the sole of my shoe.From time to time, the gravel under my body was cleared away by me as an obstacle, and I only felt the boulder above me shake from side to side, making a crisp impact sound. Every time at this time, my heart jumped into my throat, and I was really scared I was made into a patty myself.

The hole is only a little more than one meter long, but I was sweating profusely from crawling, and finally got half of my body out. The legs are also freed from the narrow holes.Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, the face of the strange corpse also poked out from the hole, stretched out its hand and grabbed my leg again, and kept pushing its body out. I raised my other foot and kicked the face of that strange corpse so hard that it was distorted by the kick, and the mucus like candle oil was dripping down from the face, but this ghost It seemed to be stuck to me, not letting go, but getting closer and closer to me, and the whole upper body was about to come out.

I looked around and took out a stone and wanted to smash it. Unexpectedly, just as I withdrew my hand, the big stone above shook twice suddenly, and then several pieces collapsed together.The strange corpse was crushed by the boulder, and with a strange cry, the whole head was crushed into pieces in front of me, and the eyeballs popped out.I rolled over on the spot and sat up, seeing the miserable state of the strange corpse, I couldn't help feeling a little lingering in my heart.My physical strength was really overdrawn, my mind went blank, and I didn't even feel grateful for the rest of my life. On the only flat place, I leaned against the rock wall and rested for a while, recalling the distance we had climbed and calculating how far we were from the top of the valley. According to my estimate, we didn’t go too deep. The air at the bottom of the valley that is too deep will be thinner and not suitable for human survival. There are ancient ruins here, so it is impossible to go too deep. I estimate the straight-line distance between us and the top of the valley. Not more than two hundred meters. Of course, this is only a straight-line distance, and the path of the water flow will naturally not go straight up and down like a mine, so the distance we have to go is far greater than 200 meters.I told Shengnan my opinion, and wanted to ask her for advice, and at the same time, I encouraged each other to try to escape as soon as possible. After I finished speaking, Katsuo didn't respond, as if he didn't care about everything I said.I was startled, and quickly moved to her side to see that Katsuo was leaning against the rock wall, his eyes were closed, his head drooped, and he fell asleep. I thought she was too tired, so I reached out to shake her to wake her up. You must know that our bodies are in a state of high fatigue and tension at the moment. It was in such a dream that Zhong was taken away by the god of death. I yelled her name and shook her body, but I didn't see any reaction from her. Only then did I feel the seriousness of the matter: she actually passed out. I was terrified by this, so I hurriedly checked her breath and pulse. Fortunately, her breathing was normal, but her pulse seemed a little weak.I was slightly relieved. In fact, I should be able to consider this kind of thing. Although Katsuo has a good physique, he is a woman after all. In such an environment, it is actually physical fitness. She was about to collapse, and it was pretty good that she could persist until now. "Sheng Nan! Sheng Nan!" I slapped her face and called her name, "Don't let anything happen to you, don't you still have tasks to complete? Don't you want me to treat you to the most delicious food?" The most authentic hot pot? You don’t have to save me money. I’ll treat you to the most authentic one in the country. After I finish eating, I’ll have to settle accounts with you. You almost killed us last time, and my brothers haven’t asked you for revenge yet. You can't die so easily!" I yelled, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart. Although I didn't have any feelings for this woman, and even felt a little gnashing of teeth, but at this moment I really felt In addition to the bitterness, I really don't want her to die like this, a meaningless death. Not only because she is a young life with beauty and wisdom, but also because it takes less than a day to get along.No matter how much hatred and misunderstanding we had before, on this day, we leaned on each other to advance and retreat together, without any selfishness, and without any conflicts.Sometimes, friendship does not need years of accumulation. In adversity, every hand in hand is the most precious friendship. At this time, Katsuo was leaning against the rock wall, looking weak and weak, and completely lost the domineering attitude he had when he hurt us before.While I was feeling uncomfortable, I also thought about the seriousness of the problem: if we don’t get medical treatment in time, Katsuo must really fall into a deep sleep forever, and I will very likely become like her very soon, after all, we are in the same dangerous situation It is actually normal for these things to happen after a long time, but it is just a matter of order.
