"Is it possible that the people up here were eaten by these vines?"
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little chilly.
Chen Tao's words were like thunder, reminding everyone present. Although these vines are messy, judging from the size and general shape of the covered area, there are definitely two people lying on these two beds!
"These vines will absorb the corpses of living things!" Uncle Long looked at the tiny roots on the broken vines and said, "If there had been anyone here, they would not have been alive for so long. These vines must have been attracted to the corpses. Then it wraps around and grows these roots, which decompose and absorb the corpse like fertilizer!"
"No wonder it smells so bad. How many corpses must have been absorbed to release such disgusting bodily fluids?" Boss Zhang said, looking at the pile of black vines.
"If that's the case..." Uncle Wang frowned: "Along the way, there are so many vines on the ground, are there corpses that have been decomposed among them? Or... those Japanese who were here Everyone died here, and no one got out.”
"I think someone should have gone out, otherwise how can we explain the evacuated mechanical equipment?" Uncle Long said.
Yang Lixuan has remained silent since he came in. While everyone was wondering around the two corpses decomposed by black vines, Chen Tao noticed that he was walking alone towards an experimental table with several yellowed glass bottles.
Out of curiosity, Chen Tao walked to the experimental table where Yang Lixuan was.
The bottle on the table is sealed and seems to contain some kind of liquid.
Yang Lixuan reached out, took one, looked at it, and then put it down. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Chen Tao picked up the bottle just now and shook the turbid yellow liquid inside. He was about to ask him what it was when he heard Ah Cheng's voice coming from the door.
"The door is open."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Long and others stopped guessing, turned around and walked towards the opposite side.
Seeing Yang Lixuan also leaving, Chen Tao put down the bottle and turned around to walk out of the room.
The moment he turned around, Chen Tao felt a chill down his spine for no reason, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him viciously. Something seemed to be crawling on his back, which scared him so much that he didn't dare to move.
There is a popular saying among the people that when a lone wolf kills someone, he will put his claws lightly on the person's shoulder. As soon as the person turns around, he will bite his neck instantly.
When I was a child, I heard people from the older generation say that on Ghost Festival, when you go out or go home at night, and someone puts a hand on your shoulder behind you for no reason, you must not look back. It is said that there are two lights on each of your shoulders. If you turn around, the thing behind you will blow out the lights on your shoulders, and you will become his scapegoat.
That's what Chen Tao feels now. There is something behind him, and that thing is right there!
The feeling on his back was very real, and he could even feel a trace of air flowing slowly behind his neck, entering every pore of his. Thinking of the two decomposed corpses, Chen Tao couldn't help but secretly thought: "It's impossible for the wolf to die. Could it be that those two people refused to die with their eyes open and wanted me to follow them to accompany them..."
The thing on his back seemed to be waiting for his next move. Chen Tao stood straight on the spot, not daring to move. A heavy cold sweat slid down his forehead. Chen Tao's hands were cold and his nails dug tightly into his flesh.
Uncle Long and the others were outside the door, but Chen Tao couldn't even shout. He could even feel that if he moved even a little bit, even if he made a little noise, the thing behind him would instantly kill him.
"Is it that thing?" Chen Tao thought of those ghostly black figures he saw in a trance last night, and those two pairs of red eyes staring at him. He still can't forget it.
He tried hard to resist the urge to yell and run out, but his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"What should I do? Will I die here and be decomposed like the two corpses..."
Chen Tao can even imagine those black vines slowly stretching towards him, getting into his mouth, eyes, ears...those tiny roots passing through every inch of him Skin and flesh, the longer and longer...
"Uncle Long and the others are outside, but I can't do anything?"
Chen Tao stared at the half-open iron door in front of him with wide eyes, and the prayer in his heart almost turned into a low roar,
Who can help me......
Chen Tao was almost roaring crazily in his heart. Everything had just begun, and he didn't want to end here.
His body gradually became numb, and all his perceptions disappeared little by little. Finally, he even lost his vision. The iron door gradually enlarged and blurred in his eyes, and everything around him became blank. Chen Tao felt like a ghost. He couldn't feel his existence, or maybe he never existed.
His consciousness began to fade, he no longer felt anything, and even his self-awareness was gradually disappearing.
Finally, everything fell silent...
Bah...
There was a crisp sound in Chen Tao's mind, as if some kind of blocking barrier had been broken. Then, a bright light appeared in front of him, which was so piercing that he could no longer look directly.
In a daze, the white space around him began to shrink violently, as if his soul was being pulled away and slammed back into his body. His body's perception was gradually recovering, and his vision began to become blurry, and then became clearer little by little, outlining a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
"I think I know this person, who is it?"
His hearing was the first to recover, and the shouts of many people could be heard in his ears.
"Taozi, Taozi!"
"Little boss! Little boss? What's wrong with you?"
"what happened to him?"
"I don't know either, hey, boy!"
The surroundings became noisy, and suddenly, a pungent and unpleasant rancid smell entered his nose. With a violent retching sound, Chen Tao suddenly woke up. At this time, he was distracted and couldn't concentrate. He felt like a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body and he felt exhausted.
Resisting the urge to vomit in his stomach, Chen Tao leaned on the experimental table next to him and raised his head and glanced around, and memories came flooding back to him. Rubbing his aching head, he asked,
"What am I...doing?"
In front of him was Yang Lixuan, who was holding a broken vine in his hand at the moment, and the oozing liquid was emitting an unpleasant stench. Chen Tao found that he was still in the laboratory, standing next to the experimental table. There was a pool of yellow viscous liquid on the ground, and the small glass bottle he had held in his hand had broken to the ground.
"You were in a daze just now, staring straight ahead, standing there motionless! If we hadn't heard the sound of the bottle breaking in your hand, we wouldn't have known." Chen Tao woke up. , Haozi looked at him and said.
"I just...vomited..." Chen Tao was about to speak, but his stomach was churning again. The mental exhaustion and physical discomfort almost made him faint.
Seeing this, Haozi hurriedly threw him a bottle of water. After raising his head and drinking more than half of the bottle, Chen Tao felt a little better. He pointed at the cut vine in Yang Lixuan's hand and said, "Don't tell me you were the one who just let me smell it."
"You just got hit. This is the fastest way for you to wake up." Yang Lixuan threw away the cut vine in his hand.
"Taotao, what happened to you just now?" Uncle Long asked worriedly.
"I don't know either. When I followed you out, something seemed to be crawling on my back and I couldn't move."
"Get out? Where are you going?" Mountain Ghost asked.
"He has just been controlled. Those should be his hallucinations." Yang Lixuan frowned and said, "There seems to be other things in this place. Chen Tao must have been tricked by that thing. Be careful, that thing is bigger than me. It’s even more dangerous than you imagine.”
When the others were about to ask something, Ah Cheng's voice came from outside the door.
"The door is open."
When Uncle Long and others heard this, they had no choice but to give up and turn around and walk towards the opposite side. Yang Lixuan glanced at Chen Tao and followed him out of the room.
Chen Tao stared at this scene blankly. Everything happening in front of him seemed so familiar!
"Was it just a hallucination or reality?" Chen Tao stood there blankly, too surprised to say a word.
Suddenly, a ghostly voice slowly sounded in his ears, accompanied by bursts of heart-stopping laughter.
"Jiejiejiejiejiejiejie, why...why don't you leave?"
