After a while, we left the village and came all the way to the edge of the Yellow River.
At this time, looking from a distance, the Yellow River is like a white belt, spread in the darkness, extending far away.
The water flow in this section is relatively gentle, so there is no sound of waves.
But at this time, the wind started blowing on the river, causing the willow trees on the bank to sway from side to side. It looked like a figure standing on the bank of the river, with his hair and skirt blown up by the wind.
We walked all the way downstream along the river bank, about a few hundred meters.
At this time, a group of people suddenly came towards us.
Because it was dark, we didn't see it at first, so by the time we spotted this group of people, we were already close to us.
Chen Ling and I hurriedly hid behind a big rock on the edge, then stuck our heads out and stared at the group of approaching figures with vigilance.
Of course, those who can still stroll outside at this time are not ordinary people, so we must be more cautious.
After those people came closer, I took a closer look. The leader was a man wrapped in a black robe, so I couldn't see his appearance clearly.
However, the dozen or so people following behind were all wearing white clothes. They were all light and airy, and they didn't feel like humans.
Under this situation, Chen Ling and I were not clear about the situation, so we simply did not show up and waited until the group of people walked past us.
Then we stepped out from behind the stone and looked at it from a distance.
The group of figures quickly disappeared into the night.
This place is really weird. Meeting such a group of people unexpectedly in the middle of the night felt like a sinister force passing through.
Chen Ling and I looked at each other, then quickly turned around and continued walking downstream.
After a while, we arrived at a pier on the river bank.
On the pier, you can see many large and small boats parked, which should have been used to fish out corpses.
The ships were all parked in a row on the river. When the wind blew, the ships bumped against each other, making sounds of "dong, dong, dong" one after another.
This is the only other sound that can be heard on the river bank besides the sound of wind and water.
Behind the pier, about a few hundred meters away, there were several white tents set up there, and warning tape surrounded the entire tent area.
The pale lights shining on those white tents made it even more eerie.
"The corpses are placed here. The archaeological team has arrived and is probably investigating and examining the corpses."
Chen Ling pointed to the tents as he spoke.
"It felt like there was no one around, it was too quiet."
I looked at the tents and frowned slightly.
"Did something happen?"
When Chen Ling heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"It's hard to say, let's go and take a look first."
I said and hurriedly moved toward the tent.
I walked all the way to the edge of the tent, but I didn't see anyone guarding this place, not even half a person.
Moreover, the air felt filled with a faint smell of blood, and seemed to smell of death.
I quickly touched it, and then gently opened one of the tents to take a look.
The tent was actually empty. There was nothing except some white cloth scattered on the ground.
I didn't even see the ancient corpses Chen Ling mentioned.
"What's going on? The body was still in the tent before."
When Chen Ling saw this scene, he also frowned.
"Perhaps those corpses are really ancient corpses. If so, they should have been taken away by the archaeological team."
I touched my chin and said thoughtfully.
This is the most likely and the best result.
But if these corpses disappeared on their own, the situation would not be good.
"Go check out the other tents."
I said as I walked out of the tent and went to check out the other tents.
After looking at several tents in a row, they were all empty.
But when we saw the fourth tent, we suddenly found that there was blood everywhere and there were several corpses piled inside the tent.
Some of the corpses were wearing white coats, some were wearing uniforms, and some were wearing casual clothes. Several corpses were all piled together, forming a mountain of corpses.
When we saw this scene, Chen Ling's and I's expressions changed.
Something is obviously going on, right? It seems that those ancient corpses have transformed into corpses.
And after those corpses transformed into corpses, they obviously had some wisdom. Not only did they kill all the staff and archaeologists here, but they also piled all the corpses in a tent.
This is definitely not something that zombies or walking zombies without intelligence can do.
I quickly moved forward and took a closer look, and found that all the corpses had fatal wounds on their necks.
Moreover, the neck has been bitten to pieces, and it looks like it has been eaten by wild animals. The white bones in the neck are even exposed.
Just from the wound, one can tell that this thing must be quite a fierce thing.
"It seems that the corpse has transformed. Could it be that the group of people we met just now are corpses?"
Chen Ling frowned and guessed.
"Also a possibility."
I nodded and said: "After all, they were walking from downstream to upstream just now, and they happened to come from this direction. However, there are hundreds of ancient corpses here, and the group of people we just saw were just It looked like a dozen or twenty people."
I frowned when I said this and thought to myself.
There are hundreds of corpses. If all of them are transformed, then the target must be huge.
If that were the case, I'm afraid the village would have been completely destroyed.
But so far, the village is still very quiet, obviously nothing happened.
This means that after the corpses transformed, they just left here and did not go to the village to harm anyone.
From this point of view, it is further confirmed that these corpses should have a certain degree of intelligence.
"You said, if these corpses are as intelligent as humans, where will they go after they transform into corpses?"
I looked at Chen Ling and asked thoughtfully.
"They floated up from the river, so if you are smart, there should be a high possibility that the corpse will run into the river again after the transformation."
Chen Ling thought for a while and said.
"That makes sense."
I nodded and said: "Hundreds of corpses cannot disappear without a trace, unless they return directly to the Yellow River. Only in this way will they not be discovered. Besides, the river is not far from here."
As I said that, I looked back in the direction of the Yellow River behind me.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, a frightened scream suddenly came from behind the tent, and it sounded like a woman's voice.
When Chen Ling and I heard this, we quickly ran towards the back of the tent.
