Chapter 37 Mask

The language expression ability of the old sheepskin is limited, and he is confused, and the fat man and I are confused when we hear it, but finally we understand what he means. In the old sheepskin's hometown, there is a sandy land, which is dry and watery, but the soil in the middle of the sand is indeed very moist and gloomy. Since ancient times, it is said that there is a corpse-raising site. If the corpse is buried in it, it will not rot. In fact, there are some strange plants growing in that land.

Legend has it that this plant was introduced from Yuansha City, Huiguo, thousands of miles away in ancient times. This object is extremely poisonous, and its whole body is similar to a human figure. It looks a bit like an abnormally large ginseng, but it is more than tens or hundreds of times larger. It has nothing to do with ginseng itself. The mainland does not have an accurate name for it, but it is only called corpse ginseng or ghost ginseng. In ancient Huiguo, it was called "Abshu".

This thing is specially grown in dark and rotten soil. Some tombs eroded by moisture or ancient riverbeds accumulated by mud are very suitable for its growth. The roots can penetrate several feet deep underground. Its roots can be said to be a plant, but it can also stretch its roots to strangle people and animals for food. It is like a huge human grass. If the plant is dug up the ground, no matter how humans and animals are, they will definitely die once they touch its poisonous gas.

The methods adopted are mostly to dig four soil ditches around it after confirming the growth of the reed. The depth of the ditch is based on the large water tank that can accommodate rural areas. Starting from the bottom of the ditch, grave bricks are piled into the shape of a brick kiln, and even the upper edge is completely closed. Before closing, a few evil dogs are closed inside, and then completely blocked with grave bricks to form a secret room.

Due to poor breathing, the evil dogs locked in the brick room will roar with their claws and try to dig out the ditch. Once they dig out the poisonous plant in the Beimulu, the evil dog will be infected with poison gas and die immediately.

There is also a way to tie the dog's legs and poisonous roots directly with a pimp. People hide in the distance of the upper vent to whip and run away. The dog will get out of the roots when frightened and flee. Although this method saves time and effort, it is not safe. It often causes the excavator to be poisoned and killed, so the first method is not as widely circulated.

After the "Abreu" in Huiguo was unearthed, it will not take long before the loss of the soil will eliminate its toxicity. At this time, people then buried the poisoned dog corpses, together with the poisoned "Abreu" and were dug out a year later. The dog corpses grew into one with the "Abreu" roots. Although the corpses rotted and smelly, they could still squirt like a living in places without sunlight. They were cut open and exposed to the sun and dried, and they could be sold as a very expensive drug.

Using a little grinding wine can make people paralyzed, as if they were half dead. Even if they cut off their hands and feet with a knife and axe, they would not feel anything. In a few days, the antidote will be given, and the activity will return to normal as before. Legend has it that in ancient times, Hua Tuo was able to cut off the intestines and break the abdomen to treat diseases. He used this anesthetic until the imperial hospital of the Song Dynasty.

In my hometown in the northwest, I saw someone digging out this human-shaped poison when digging wasteland and shoveling the grave. That time, a long list of dead bodies could be dug out. They were all villagers who were killed by accident at night. After it rolled up people, the toxins were transferred into the corpse. Although the dead were dead, the dead bodies were like raising corpses. The hair and nails were still growing, and were kept by the yin energy for a long time. When they encountered the yang energy, no matter what living humans and animals they caught, they would become part of the nutrients of this strange ginseng after they died.

When we figured out the situation in the brick room, it seemed that it was a place specially built by the Japanese to cultivate drugs for paralyzing nerves. According to legend, the zombie meat buried in the corpse-raising ground is called "Smelly" and can be used as medicine. These rotten corpses that have almost grown into plants are also a strange medicine, but their cultivation method is really outrageous.

I was about to ask the old sheepskin if there was any way to completely eliminate this monster, otherwise it would be a mess after all, but when I was talking, I suddenly remembered something fatal, and my body suddenly became cold. The fat man and I had been tangled with the rotten corpses for a long time, and a lot of fishy and unpleasant juices were splashed on my body, and I was probably poisoned.

The fat man and I quickly looked at our exposed hands. There were too many things mixed on our hands, so we couldn't see anything, but there seemed to be a layer of tiny bumps on the back of our hands, which felt slightly numb and itchy. There were no other symptoms for the time being. Although we don't know if it was a sign of poisoning, it was probably not a good sign.

The poison in Ding Sitian's place was still untreated. Unexpectedly, the fat man and I also said one after another. I was in a very complicated mood, but one thunder was the top and two thunders were also resisted. If there were too many lice, there would be no worries. If there were too many trunks, there would be no worries. This was already a messy situation. It would be no big deal to add some trouble. The three of us went to see Marx together.

In our era, young people did not have any complicated thoughts and feelings, and the education we received since childhood made us not know how to write the word "difficulty". Can any of the things in the world be difficult to resist revolutionary soldiers? So I would not take the big worries too much. I quickly threw the matter behind my head about whether I was poisoned and asked if there was any way for the old sheepskin.

The old sheepskin shook his head and sighed. There was no way. The poisonous substance from Huihui was dead. After a while, the yin energy dissipated, it would probably not move. At present, he could only learn from the Tudi Lord to squat here and wait. But who knows how long the root of that thing is? If there is still a part of the earth energy, we will be snatched and poisoned as soon as we go out.

Just when we were helpless, we suddenly heard a strange movement above our heads. Fatty man and I raised the engineer's lighting tube and looked up. At the interface between the wall and the ceiling, there were several narrow windows connecting the corridor. The demon ginseng roots outside the basement door were entering the window, trying to get in and attack. The fat man swung his knife to chop the roots that had already penetrated into the basement. Only the sound of cutting the leather bag came. The decay liquid splashed as the knife fell, and the roots of the ginseng's tentacles quickly shrank back.

Only then did we realize that although the door wall of this basement is solid, it is not tight, with many air holes and air windows, which can easily give each other an opportunity. This basement seems to be a data storage room, with many iron cabinets and wooden boxes containing documents similar to archives. The fat man and I pushed the iron cabinet to block all the gaps on the outside.

There was an extremely thick iron cabinet in the bottom of the room. It was the best defensive object, but no matter how the fat man and I pushed it hard, it didn't move at all, as if it had a root underground. I adjusted the light column of the engineer's lighting cylinder and carefully illuminated the iron cabinet. I suspected that there was a secret door here and that the mechanism needed to be opened and closed. Most of the anti-special movies at that time had this plot.

The fat man and I randomly guessed, but this time it was really covered. When I moved the light to the corner along the edge of the iron cabinet, I suddenly saw a human hand stuck in the gap between the iron cabinet and the wall. The claws were dry and purple, and there were animal hairs. Like most dead bodies in this institute, they were death and some sudden unknown reasons. After death, due to the special environment near the Baiyan Cave, this abnormal sign of corpse transformation was caused.

There seemed to be a lot of space behind the gap stuck by the corpse, but I could not see clearly after looking with the lighting tube for a long time. Now the outside of the door of this basement was blocked by the corpse that grew into one with the zombies. If there was a passage behind the iron cabinet, I might be able to leave this secret passage. Moreover, the secret passage was weirdly cultivated, and if it could not be kept, it would store what we needed.

Fatty and I were convinced of this exciting speculation. The fatty immediately fumbled around to find the mechanism to open the iron cabinet. I was not busy doing it. I felt something was wrong with the iron cabinet door, but something was wrong but I couldn't figure it out for a moment. I took a breath and let my emotions calm as much as possible. My mind rotated rapidly. I felt that the corpse stuck in the gap between the iron cabinet and the wall might have been planned to escape into the secret room in an emergency, but because he died suddenly, he just opened the disguised iron cabinet and entered the secret passage and died immediately, instead of being trapped by the iron cabinet, he was just clamped by the iron cabinet, but the iron cabinet that automatically returned to his position clamped his body.

Also, the institute is heavily guarded and there seems to be no need to create such a hidden secret door in the already hidden underground facilities. Unless the space behind this door is a secret secret, it is likely that even most of the personnel in the Japanese research institute would not know that only some leaders in this institution control the things inside. The corpse that was stuck after death should be the leader in this demon cave, but why is the arm of the dead corpse exposed? Is it normal to die like this? Is it not that they escaped inside, but that they were about to escape from it? The secret room in this secret room...

I was rumbling around and was guessing that the fat man had touched a protruding floor tiles under a table. The location was very hidden and inconspicuous. If he had not been through one brick after another, he would have no idea. He lifted a few pieces of bricks and didn't move, and then stepped down with his feet. The force of the kick was quite strong. The floor tiles were sank by him. With a rumbling sound, the iron cabinet was pulled into the side and a narrow corridor flashed out. Maybe it was because he used too much force, or maybe he had stepped on the machine over his head, and the moving iron cabinet was retracted into the wall, but it no longer automatically recovered as I expected.

There is a secret door in this aisle, and the door is wide open. There is a larger basement deep in it. The fat man thought this secret room was used to store medicines and food, so he was about to step in. I hurriedly blocked the entrance of the passage and said to the fat man and the old sheepskin: "Look at the zombie who was trapped in the aisle, his head and arms were facing outside. This posture may well indicate that he was running away from the secret room at the moment before he died, rather than hiding into the secret room for refuge, where..."

As soon as I said halfway through my words, I heard a loud noise. The wooden chair on the top of the door was suddenly broken. The old sheepskin sitting behind the door was shocked and dragged Ding Sitian to retreat quickly. I held the lighting tube and saw that the iron door opened and a strange face like an old woman came in from outside the door. This alien plant was like ginseng, but its shape was far more ferocious than ginseng. This time I saw it very clearly. The face of the ginseng was full of wrinkles, and the two huge bags of the eyes were particularly obvious. I thought it was not a pure plant, but it was more like a semi-organism living in the soil and sucking corpse juice.

Not to mention facing its ugly strange face, just by smelling the wet and smelling the smell of the grave on its body, it makes people feel swollen and drowsy. Now we have to step back step by step. Old Sheepskin and I set up Ding Sitian, and the fat man used a long knife to cut the touching feet that were constantly stretched over. The four of them were forced to retreat and gradually retreated into the secret room behind the iron cabinet.

I was worried that the fat man would die alone. After entering the secret room, I didn't bother to see the surrounding environment clearly, so I directly handed Ding Sitian to the old sheepskin, then turned around to the secret door to pick him up, trying to close the secret door and resist the coming of the demon ginseng, but in a panic, I could find the mechanism inside the secret room.

In desperation, the fat man pushed the zombie in the aisle out. A tentacle of the demon ginseng immediately rolled it around and wrapped it into the dense roots. I took this opportunity to close the door in the secret room firmly, and worked with the fat man to find everything he could find and press it behind the door. Only then did he realize that there were large cabinets with specimen bottles everywhere in this hidden huge secret room. We knocked down many glass bottles, and the human organs and strange-shaped animals inside flowed all over the ground, and the basement suddenly emitted a strong smell of anticorrosion potion.

We approached the hysterical turmoil, and our bodies were almost exhausted. Seeing that the portal was temporarily blocked, our tense spirit relaxed a little, and I felt that there was no root under my feet. The wound on my shoulder was unbearable. I took a few steps back and found a place to sit down and take a breath. There happened to be a stone platform behind me. In the darkness, I sat up without looking carefully. After sitting down, I felt that there was something surprisingly cold behind me. I turned my hand back and touched it back and found that my fingers touched a cold metal object. When I touched it casually, it was a metal mask with a human face. I was startled and immediately remembered the female corpse of the Great Xianbei wearing a mask on the mural. I quickly turned around and shone it with an engineer's lighting tube. On the stone platform like the dissection platform, there was indeed a female corpse with a golden mask on the face. The metal mask emitted a quiet light in the dark yellow light of the lighting tube.
