Chapter 125 Chapter 9 The Living Dead

Since we came to Qiaotian Prison, we haven’t seen a single living person. Now that night is falling, we are in the vast mountains and wild, and we hear someone screaming in the tomb. If it were me in the past, I would definitely run away and pee while running. .I raised my flashlight to shine on the tombstone, which said Weilong's tomb, which was buried 3 days ago.Weilong is a young man from a nearby village without education. He had already come to Qiaotian Coal Mine as a helper when I was in college. "Is this a treasure land? If you bury it, you can come back from the dead. Try burying Brother Wanzang in it later!" Xu Shaode was startled at first, but thinking about it, there are coffins and graves blocking it, and the underground ghosts You can't get out, so there's no need to panic.

"Could it be that the buried is a living person?" Xiaoguang looked at the grave hesitantly, and she was also surprised. "I said, Miss Xiaoguang, this is Qiaotian Prison, a place where crimes are washed away, how could there be any burials?" I don't believe that people here are so stupid that they can't tell the difference between life and death, let alone the burial three days ago. If he hadn't died at that time, he should have died after being buried for three days! "Let's dig up the tomb. If we don't dig it up, the living will really become dead." Fan Li urged.

This place is close to the main area of ​​Qiaotian Coal Mine, and the excavated coal is crushed into powder and then loaded onto trains. Therefore, the families of Qiaotian Prison will go here to load coal in exchange for meager wages to support their families.My mother has also done this job for decades. Most of the workers are women. In summer, the temperature of the coal yard is close to 50 degrees, and people feel dizzy when they walk in. You can imagine how hard it is for those mothers.Because the coal was to be loaded onto the train, the female workers put tools such as shovels in the nearby grass. The folk customs here are not bad, and no one took a shovel on the road.

I grew up here, so I naturally know where there are digging tools, so I quickly found a few shovels, and immediately dug the grave with Fan Li and the others.I never thought that I would do this one day, and it was at night, listening to the hooting of owls, and my heart went up and down.Soon, we dug the coffin, and the noise inside was even louder, but there was no shouting, and the people inside were probably exhausted.The coffin has been sealed, and we took a lot of effort to break the lid with a shovel, but we were worried about hurting the people inside, so we only made a small hole first to let the air flow in.

"Who are you and where am I!" the people inside shouted before we opened the coffin lid. "Brother, are you a human or a ghost?" Xu Shaode jumped far away, using a shovel as a weapon. "Of course I'm human, what are you talking about!" the man in the coffin cursed angrily. I heard that the voice was indeed Wei Long, and my heart sank. At least it was someone I knew. Even if I became a ghost, I was still a friend of the ghost and would not harm me.After I revealed my identity, Weilong stopped his crazy shouting in surprise and suspicion. Hearing the shouting from the grave in the wilderness at night, he felt really scared.Weilong was finally dug out. We were all exhausted, but Weilong was confused, not knowing how he got into the coffin.Weiron was about the same age as me, but he was very thin and dark all over, which had something to do with his long-term work as a coal miner.

For a man who has come back from the dead, we are in every possible way amazed, wishing we could eat him in one bite.After thinking about it, Wei Long said that he was digging coal, and suddenly felt sleepy, so he fell asleep, only to wake up and find himself in a coffin.He roared angrily, saying that his family members were too cruel and wanted to bury him alive. Wasn't it just a quarrel with his wife, as for murdering his husband like this? When I saw and heard what Weilong said, I was shocked. Could it be that Weilong was in a state of suspended animation?Could it be that everyone in Qiaotian Prison suspended animation?But isn't this a state that only Xiaoguang and Fan Li appear? On the way here, Xu Shaode mysteriously appeared in such a state, and now even people from Qiaotian Prison have appeared. What is the reason for this?If they were suspended animation, why couldn't they wake up all of a sudden like Xiao Guang and Fan Li did?Why did Wei Long wake up in three days, while the prisoners in Qiaotian Prison did not wake up for five days?

Wei Long obviously didn't know that Qiaotian Prison had become a dead city. He was just very angry that his family buried him. After hearing what we said, he didn't react for a long time.In fact, not to mention Weilong, even I don't know why the suspended animation spread to such a large area.Weilong yelled that he was hungry, and wanted to go home to see if his family was safe, but we refused to go, and he felt scared by himself, so he followed us to the Qiaotian Coal Mine.Weilong told us that last month Qiaotian Prison launched a project to open the sealed No. 10 coal shaft to fully open up underground resources.

After the No. 10 well was opened, Weilong and other construction workers went in to investigate. Weilong and the others went in many times, but they didn't find anything wrong.They had heard the story of Well No. 10, and knew the history of Qiaotian Prison, but at least they were a man, and they never believed such ghost fox stories.However, Weilong told me that my father had repeatedly approached the leaders of the coal mines, threatening to open the No. 10 coal shaft and bring harm to the people.The leaders are all scientifically educated, how could they listen to an old man's superstition, so they all fell on deaf ears.

I found it unbelievable that my father was an extremely low-key person. He usually didn't like to show off, so how could he find a leader, let alone confuse people.My father was never alarmist. He had his reasons for saying this. Although Qiaotian Prison was just a legend, Shaft No. 10, which had been closed for decades, did exist. It is impossible to close a coal mine for no reason.Weilong and the others believed that they were courageous, so they went down the well several times without fear, but one time Weilong suddenly felt very sleepy, so he curled up in the well and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found that he was buried in a tomb .

"Is your father telling the truth?" Waylon asked me. "Truth or lie, let's go and see." After I finished speaking, I called everyone to leave quickly. Xiaoguang and Fan Li didn't want to delay any longer. They saw Wei Long come back to life from "death" with their own eyes, but they were as surprised as I was. From this point of view, they didn't know that they also had a state of suspended animation. Only for a short time, not as long as Veyron's.I vaguely feel that there may be a huge secret buried in Well No. 10. I don't dare to draw conclusions about what the secret is, but it must be related to suspended animation.

Coal stones are piled up near the coal mine, like large tombs, and the coal is black, which seems to absorb light in the dark night. We always feel like we will hit the wall if we take another step.Many tents were set up near the coal mine. We went in and saw that there were search and rescue personnel inside, but they were all unconscious. Regardless of whether they were young or old, they all passed out and became veritable living dead.Finally, I finally saw my mother in a tent. She looked tired and wanted to stay here for a long time, but in the end she couldn't escape the attack of suspended animation. We searched around carefully, and there were five charred corpses in the tent. They were all prisoners, and they should have died in the gas explosion.However, I couldn't find my father and grandma, and I didn't find any trace of them after searching several times.Seeing that I lost my mind in anxiety, Fan Li reminded me that it would be easier to find someone by turning on the lights in the coal yard.After hearing this, I patted my thigh. I was really stupid. Could it be that I was a natural thief, and I was used to groping around at night? I am familiar with the facilities of the coal yard, so I volunteered to find the light switch, but no matter how hard I pulled the street light switch, the light was still dark.I looked at the light switch in bewilderment. Qiaotian Prison still had electricity, but why was there no electricity when I arrived at the coal mine?I couldn't turn on the lights for a long time, so I asked Xu Shaode and the others to turn on the lights in the coal mine workshop separately, but none of them could be turned on.I found it strange, so I stopped them all, and went to find the main power switch by myself.The main switch of the power supply is in the electric room, which is usually closed, because it involves the operation of the entire coal mine, so the protection work is very strict.I thought it would be troublesome to open the electric room, but when I got to the electric room, I found that the door of the electric room had been damaged. I froze in front of the door and didn't dare to go in. If Qiaotian Prison is full of living dead, who broke the door of the electric room?I was outside with the power station in my hand, and looked in through the crack of the door, but there was no movement inside.As soon as I was relieved, I opened the door and entered, but I smelled a smell of nitrate. I raised my flashlight and looked inside. All the electric control equipment inside had been blown up. I didn't expect that the power outage in the coal yard was caused by someone blowing up the main power switch, so when I found out this situation, I couldn't help but stand there for a long time.There are several types of explosives. The one that blows up the electrical equipment in the electric room is a small explosive. As mentioned earlier in the story, someone invented this explosive during World War II. It is very powerful, but the explosion range can be reduced to a palm large range.Frustrated, I picked up the flashlight and illuminated the equipment in the electric room, but no one was spared. I don’t know why someone blew up the main power switch. Isn’t it an emergency time when electricity is needed? "Brother Wanzang, what are you doing, I told you to turn on the light, why did you blow up the power supply?" Seeing me standing still, Xu Shaode was also surprised when he ran over to look. "Which eye of yours saw that I exploded it?" I wanted to continue bickering, but I remembered that my mother had a large group of people who had become the living dead, and my father and grandma disappeared, so I didn't continue. "What the hell is going on, why are they all dead!" Wei Long saw so many living dead with his own eyes, his legs were so frightened that his usual masculinity disappeared. "Who said they were dead? They were just asleep and would wake up anyway. Didn't you just wake up?" I replied angrily. "But none of their hearts are beating..." Weilong was still in panic. "He woke up in three days, why the prisoner didn't wake up for five days, is there something special about him?" Xiaoguang asked me. "Yeah, why did you wake up first, kid? Fortunately, you met us, or you would really be dead." I asked Wei Long. "I don't know either. Anyway, I just woke up like this, and I don't remember what happened." Weilong still couldn't figure it out. "He must have done or ate something, otherwise he wouldn't wake up first, we have to take him with us, and let him go whenever he remembers." Xu Shaode immediately threatened us when he saw how many people there were. . "I really can't think of it. If there is one, it is..." Weilong seemed to have thought of something, but he stopped talking. "You motherfucker, don't play tricks on me. For the sake of my fellow countrymen, I won't torture you to extract a confession. Don't be coy about being a bitch!" I said angrily. "I seem to have seen one in Shaft No. 10..." Weilong said nervously, perhaps because he was frightened by the dark coal yard and piles of undead. "Just hurry up, what did you see, could it be that you peeked at someone's big girl taking a bath?" Xu Shaode asked spitting. "How do you know... No, no, I seem to have seen a child in Well No. 10 before I fell asleep that day!" Wei Long said softly again, as if he was worried about being heard by others. Ever since I was soaked in the ground spring dew at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, there will always be a child in my memory. He has become my nightmare and I can't get rid of it.Gradually, the image of the child became clearer and clearer in my mind. It was a child with a severed head and a yellow long life card. His eyes were full of resentment. Every time I thought of this child, I felt chills all over my body.Now when Weiron said that there was a child in Well No. 10, I really shivered from the cold, but I didn't dare to say it, because it was a secret and I haven't told anyone until now, it was just a hallucination. Weilong insisted that he was right, but the entrance and exit of the coal well are very strict, not to mention children, even adults cannot enter casually, and to enter the coal well, you have to take a tram along the railway tracks. It was impossible for the workers on the tram not to notice.Xu Shaode made fun of Wei Long, he believed that Wei Long was lying, Wei Long's ears were flushed, he was a man anyway, how could Xu Shaode be so insulted, so he wanted to put on airs.I got a headache when I saw this scene, and they didn't even look at the time, they were still fighting among themselves. I was about to say something to stop it, but Fan Li patted my shoulder, pointed to the mouth of Well No. 10, and motioned for me to look over.Fan Li looked serious, as if something unusual had happened, I turned my head quickly, but in the dark, I saw a child standing motionless at the mouth of Well No. 10.The dark wind in the mountains was blowing through the coal yard, which seemed to amplify some uneasy emotions. I was fascinated by it, and I didn't take a flashlight to shine there for a while. In the dark, I only felt that the child was staring at us with malicious intentions.Xu Shaode and Weilong were still arguing, Xiaoguang found out and shone the flashlight over there, but the distance was too far, the light of the flashlight couldn't reach the mouth of well No. 10, so he couldn't see the child at all.The child seemed to be provocative. He stood at the mouth of the well and let us shine with the flashlight, but when I took a step, he immediately hid in the No. 10 well and disappeared immediately. "Stop arguing, both of you!" I was very disappointed, and when I turned around and saw the two big men still haggling over every detail, I didn't get angry at all. When Xu Shaode and Weilong heard my yelling, they were all stunned, and they didn't say a word, and didn't continue to quarrel.I wanted to go into Shaft No. 10 to see what happened, but Fan Li disagreed. He said that Shaft No. 10 was a mine with a gas explosion. Now all the power facilities have stopped operating, and the exhaust fan in the shaft cannot supply air. We have to go in rashly. is gone forever.Xiaoguang agrees with Fan Li's opinion, she said that the children in the coal well are definitely not kind, I am afraid they are not ordinary children, there was an explosion in the coal well, and the coal well is easy to collapse, this must be considered.I was extremely anxious. Grandpa and grandma could not be found in the coal well or Qiaotian Prison. It is estimated that they entered the coal well. There must be many living dead in the coal well. If they are not rescued quickly, they will I really can't wake up. "Are you going in?" Weiron was taken aback when he heard our discussion. "Look, just now I was a man, now..." Xu Shaode has become more and more courageous in the past few years, and now it is his turn to laugh at others, he will not let go of the opportunity. "I want to say, if you want to go in, I will lead the team, who the hell is afraid of death?" Wei Long couldn't stand the provocation, and immediately agreed, but he immediately regretted it. In an emergency, I rummaged through the storage room of the coal yard and found several masks. These masks are different from ordinary masks. They have a black outer skin and a few small metal holes in the breathing part. There are sparse cotton and Activated carbon, this mask is specially used when entering the coal mine, which can effectively prevent harmful dust from entering the human body.It's a pity that there is no oxygen cylinder here, but since the child can enter and exit the No. 10 well, it means that the gas inside can be breathed, unless the child is a ghost or not a person, but I saw clearly just now that the child seems to have a body, so it should not be a ghost This false thing. Now there is no light or electricity in the coal mine, so I found a few lightweight coal mine lamp caps in advance. This kind of cap can be worn on the head to facilitate lighting, and the electricity can last for a day.To be on the safe side, we also prepared two mining searchlights. In case of unlucky luck and the cap of the mining lamp runs out of power, it is better to have a spare. Of course, the flashlight should still be carried on the back. In this case, it is necessary to have a few hands to prepare psychologically. .The wellhead of Shaft No. 10 is like a train tunnel, and there is a railway track on the ground winding in, but this railway track is different from ordinary railway tracks. It is much smaller, and is the railway track used by trams that transport coal.Because there are rails on the ground and directional slogans are written on the walls, we don’t have to worry about getting lost, and we can turn back immediately if we feel short of breath. Standing in front of the mouth of well No. 10, there is no wind at all, which makes people feel lifeless.If a coal well is operating normally, a person standing at the mouth of the well will have a gentle breeze, which is uninterrupted. Of course, this is not real wind, but the exhaust fan in the well is working.Coal wells are different from ordinary tunnels. There is no exit at the end of the coal well, and there is often only one exit. So I put a searchlight at the wellhead and turned it on, so that we can find the exit from a distance.The five of us took a deep breath, lifted our feet and stepped in. The coal well was like a monster, engulfing us in darkness with one bite. The coal shaft was unusually quiet, and I even felt the walls pushing towards us, giving me an indescribable sense of oppression.In the dark, I always feel that someone is staring at us, but they hide in the dark, no matter how bright our lights are, they cannot show up.Wei Long and Xu Shaode were fighting, they were fighting each other, but they all stopped after walking.I saw someone in front of them from behind, probably a living dead person, so I walked up quickly with Xiaoguang and Fan Li, trying to see who that person was. Xu Shaode and Weilong stood silently, I thought to myself, haven't they seen a lot of living dead, why are they still scared now? Could it be because they are in a coal mine, so they feel particularly scared.But when I walked over and took a look, just like them, I immediately opened my eyes wide and stopped.
