As soon as we entered the camp, we found that the Western Zhou Dynasty was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere!
Although those soldiers were all elite, their eyes showed deep exhaustion, as if they had not rested for days and nights.
Lao Jiang saw all this.
He handed Platoon Commander Zhang a cigarette, and the two puffed away skillfully.
Platoon Leader Zhang hesitated several times, as if he had something to say. Lao Jiang couldn't bear his temper and asked him first what was going on?
Yin Ling'er also pouted: "We are not roundworms, how could we have guessed the little Jiujiu in your belly."
Platoon Leader Zhang took a deep puff of smoke and said, "It's not that I don't want to say it. It's just that I have been a soldier for so many years and I have never encountered such an evil thing..."
It turned out that the superior received a telegram eleven days ago, from Lin Jianye, the captain of the Yin Ruins archaeological team.
Lin Jianye said that he is about to open the Yin Ruins, which will be the largest archaeological discovery of this century!
The superior asked him why he disobeyed orders and acted without permission?
Lin Jianye did not explain. He only said that a set of bronze cymbals had been unearthed. They were musical instruments of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty and were quite exquisite.
When the superiors received the telegram again, it was an urgent distress signal.
The only thing in the signal was repeated a dozen times: help, help, help...
There were several senior experts in the archaeological team and they must not be lost. The superiors immediately assigned a reinforced platoon with rich combat experience to go to the rescue. Platoon Leader Zhang was the commander.
Based on the area where the signal last disappeared, they finally found the Yin Ruins archaeological team!
"I thought they were attacked by bandits or trapped somewhere, but when we arrived, they were all crazy... as crazy as devils."
Platoon Leader Zhang was lost in memories, and his smoking hand began to tremble.
It was a light rain that day, and the whole sky was gloomy. As soon as the search and rescue truck stopped, it was discovered that half of the archaeological team was dead, and the rest were like zombies with red eyes, eating the flesh and blood of their companions.
Those things that I don’t know whether they are human or not have extremely sensitive ears. Although they heard the sound of trucks from a distance, they disguised them very well. As soon as the soldiers came close, they would pounce on them with their white teeth open.
Several soldiers had their necks bitten open and fell to the ground in pain.
Fortunately, these soldiers were elites and they reacted quickly and opened fire immediately.
"Did you shoot?"
Before Lao Jiang finished speaking, Platoon Leader Zhang made a calming gesture: "Don't worry, there are still survivors! We only shot and killed those who were really unable to control them, and those who were unconscious and had no lethality, and Those who are not aggressive but within the controllable range are left behind.”
I suddenly thought of those small houses surrounded by barbed wire and asked Platoon Leader Zhang, were those people locked in the houses?
Platoon Leader Zhang hummed and replied: "I asked my superiors for instructions that day, and they asked me to station in the archaeological camp and imprison those people first. Then a team of excellent military doctors were sent to check the physical condition of these people. , After all, these people were fine before setting off, so they can’t go crazy for no reason.”
"What about the test results?" Lao Jiang asked with squinted eyes.
Platoon Leader Zhang sighed, raised his hand to smoke again, but found that the fire had reached his butt, and quickly threw it under his feet and stamped it out. I lit another one for the first time, and when the smoke went into my throat, I looked at us leisurely: "Have you ever heard of a ghost hanging around your waist?"
"A ghost?"
A few of us looked at each other, and then Yin Ling'er suddenly thought of something: "I have never heard of ghosts entangled around the waist, but we in Miao territory have a saying of 'snake entangled around the waist.' If someone kills a snake or stabs the snake's nest, , the snake king will focus on you and leave his mark on your waist. At first it is just some red rashes, but as time goes by, it will gradually become a row of snake teeth marks. By that time, you will find that it is too late. , so there is a saying: Snake around the waist, head on the coffin, you will die in seven days!"
Platoon leader Zhang said: "The ghosts are wrapped around the waist and the snakes are wrapped around the waist. The only difference is that one is wrapped around a ghost and the other is a snake. Both have a strange red rash on the waist, which then turns into a row of tooth marks."
Lao Jiang said: "Let's do this. You will take us to the house later to see! What kind of crazy method is this, so I know how to save him."
Platoon Leader Zhang was startled and his face turned gray: "We still have to watch them, no, no, no, what if I bite you?"
I asked Platoon Leader Zhang, were those people not tied up?
Platoon leader Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "How could it not be possible? But those people's ability to escape from prison is so powerful! We clearly tied them with handcuffs and anklets, but we still killed several sentries and sneaked out. They escaped for several kilometers before they were captured. Catch it back, I am really, I am really..."
As he spoke, Platoon Leader Zhang slammed the table with his fist.
He closed his eyes, and wet tears flowed slightly: "I have already had several brothers killed. These people are simply more devils than devils."
"And after being bitten by them, the wounds will quickly fester, and some wounds will become hot as if the blood has been boiled. Anyone bitten by them will not survive the next day."
While he was talking, a shrill wail suddenly came from outside.
Platoon Leader Zhang stood up with a roar and cursed fiercely in that direction: "Here they come again, they come again!"
I asked Lao Jiang what was wrong.
Platoon Leader Zhang told us that those people would make particularly shrill howls in the small dark room at night, some would hit the wall, and some would draw ghost symbols, as if something was calling them somewhere.
Especially in the second half of the night, the ghosts cried and howled like wolves and ghosts, as if they were imprisoning a group of evil spirits from hell.
"Only at noon do we dare to escort military doctors in to check to see if anyone is getting better? The rest of the time we don't dare to open the door at all."
Lao Jiang asked him if anyone had gotten better?
Platoon leader Zhang shook his head: "Because we searched and rescued in time, currently only the archaeological team leader Lin Jianye is in better health! He was only seriously injured and was sleeping in the first place, so we put him in the innermost room, and the second I was kept alive with nutrient solution for ten hours.”
The military doctor's daily task is mainly to observe the changes in Lin Jianye and try to find a suitable antidote for him.
From now on, Lao Jiang's brows have not relaxed. Even though Platoon Leader Zhang has given countless instructions, Lao Jiang still wants to see the crazy archaeological team members with his own eyes.
"Master, you have to think clearly, if something happens, we can't afford it."
Platoon leader Zhang still wanted to persuade Lao Jiang, but Lao Jiang looked at He Lanxue and asked her what she meant: "Ximei, are you afraid?"
He Lanxue raised a faint smile and glanced at the sword behind him: "Even if they are afraid, they are afraid of me."
Yin Ling'er also stood up: "Master is going, and Ling'er is going too."
A jingling bell rang, and everything seemed less scary.
Seeing that we had made up our minds, Platoon Leader Zhang did not want to persuade us anymore. He helped us prepare some protective clothing and sent a few soldiers to escort us in.
"Then I'll excuse you!" Lao Jiang bowed his hands to Platoon Leader Zhang to express his gratitude.
But he and He Lanxue don't have the habit of wearing armor. Originally, I thought it would be better than nothing, but Yin Ling'er also looked fearless. If I was the only one in the West who wanted to wear it, wouldn't it look like I was too scared? died?
Forced to follow the crowd, I could only reject the armor with tears in my eyes.
Platoon Leader Zhang directed his people to open several large locks outside the house, but he had no intention of going in. After all, someone still needed to take charge of the overall situation here.
If those who are in charge go in and die, the soldiers outside may not be able to escape the disaster.
With a creak, the dusty iron door was opened.
The soldiers who were opening the way turned on the searchlights above their heads. In the darkness, I actually saw a pair of eyes that reflected blue light! Just like a wolf in the dark night.
People with ferocious features roared and rushed toward us. Unfortunately, their feet and hands were bound by iron chains, making it difficult to break free for a while.
The soldier beside them reminded: "Their strongest time is at midnight, but they still have to be careful at this time!"
After observing for a moment, I discovered that the throats of the recruited archaeological team members were making a whooshing sound. It was obviously not like zombies or ghosts, but it made me feel scarier than both.
They look exactly like us, but their eyes are filled with the desire and killing intent of beasts.
"Old Jiang, what do you think that is?"
I saw a series of strange symbols smeared with bright red blood on the west wall, which were very large and eye-catching.
Lao Jiang stared at the red letters in amazement, and replied in surprise: "Death, condolences, these are condolences! How could they write condolences?"
Just when Lao Jiang was shocked, I suddenly heard something above my head. I looked subconsciously and saw a humanoid creature twisting and crawling on the ceiling.
Before I could say anything, the handcuffs clattered and the man rushed towards us.
I only heard a scream, He Lanxue had already strangled the other party's neck, and threw him against the wall with an expressionless face.
Lao Jiang yelled like a dog, "Thank you, West Sister."
He Lanxue didn't even look at Lao Jiang, but only reminded me to pay attention: "Don't think that you have multiple lives."
Yin Ling'er also came to laugh at Lao Jiang, asking him how he became the Black Saber Qilin and why his master always rescued him.
Lao Jiang laughed awkwardly.
Only then did the soldiers around him react and pull out their pistols in panic.
"The people here seem to have only the whites of their eyes. They don't seem to be possessed by evil spirits, but rather they seem to have lost their souls." I said to Lao Jiang.
Fortunately, those few lunatics were the only ones who lost control. After being punished, the soldiers took us to the house where Lin Jianye was treated. At a glance, we saw the skinny figure lying on the bed. His western limb was tied to the bed, and he was still unconscious and motionless.
The soldier told us that military doctors would come every day to give him infusions and injections to keep him alive.
But after enduring for so many days, Lin Jianye could hardly hold on any longer...
"oh?"
Lao Jiang lifted up Lin Jianye's clothes and saw a dense circle of red rashes on his waist and abdomen. There seemed to be white insects crawling inside the rashes.
Yin Ling'er's eyes widened: "This really looks like a snake wrapped around one's waist."
Lao Jiang asked her if she had any solution?
Yin Ling'er nodded: "I can try!"
After that, Yin Ling'er put down her big bamboo basket and sang a little song in it: "Maomao, Maomao, you are the most handsome, Lulu, Lulu, you are the best, come out quickly and help mother, I will feed you tomorrow." Sea of Stars.”
I was confused. I didn't know what Yin Ling'er was talking about.
But she saw Yin Ling'er suddenly spread her hand, but there was nothing on it. She stretched her hand towards Lin Jianye's belly. She only heard a rustling sound, and Lin Jianye's belly began to expand rapidly.
I looked at Yin Linger, then at Lin Jianye, and then I couldn't help but look at Lao Jiang, only to find that Lao Jiang was not surprised at all.
The soldiers were also confused and asked whether the patient's stomach would explode.
Yin Ling'er raised her neck and snorted: "I am saving him."
After a while, Lin Jianye's belly began to disappear, and then red and black bugs crawled out of his belly button one after another, row by row, row by row.
Suddenly, a pair of cold, temperatureless hands grabbed me.
I saw Lin Jianye on the bed suddenly opening his eyes and staring at me. His pale eyes had no pupils at all, and the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc: "It's coming out, it's coming out..."
I can't describe how terrifying that moment was, I just knew I had goosebumps all over the place.
It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight!
