Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 39 Aeruginosa
The door is open, and it won't help to worry about what is behind the door. Let's take a step and see.

The three walked into the iron gate, turned to the left, and found that there was a nearly 100-meter passage in front of them, the width of which could accommodate two trucks in parallel.At the end of the passage, there is another airtight door.

At the height of the walls on both sides of the passage, there are some things like ventilation holes.There is a small pile of gray and white under each of these ventilation holes. At first glance, it seems that there are two rows of miniature small grave mounds built along the two side walls.

Hu Bayi squatted on the ground and inspected it carefully, and said to the two, "It's salt, the kind of coarse salt in the storage room."

Another grain of salt, this thing strengthened the three people's minds again and again, and the impression of the creatures mentioned in Jinjing's diary also made them more and more suspicious. Is there a treasure hidden behind the front door, or some unknown monster? .

The three of them walked to the airtight door full of doubts. There were many strange symbols and words written on the round airtight door. There were also many torn paper heads hanging above the door. Those papers also contained those symbols, and some Amulets written in Chinese and Japanese.

In the middle of the door, the logo of a nine-petal chrysanthemum was also painted.

"It seems that those onmyojis made it, trying to use these messy things to suppress the things inside." Xiao Ran said.

Hu Bayi asked: "Then can we get in? Boss Xiao, give me an idea."

"Old Hu, you have come to the door, why are you retreating again? If you want me to say, we are all in, even if we take a look, if there is any situation, we can close the door again and it will be over?" The fat man said.

Xiao Ran thought for a while, but curiosity prevailed after all, and said: "I think Fatty is right, you come here, you don't even take a look at it, if there are really good things inside, wouldn't it be regrettable?"

Hu Bayi gritted his teeth: "Okay, then I won't say more, no matter what is in it, let's go out and find out about him!"

When the fat man heard this, he cheerfully volunteered, and went back to the door of the secret room above to get the hex wrench.

Xiao Ran was walking in the passage to check, and he noticed that there was an abrupt circular valve switch on one side wall in the middle of the passage.

He called Hu Bayi over, and the two studied the valve together, wondering where the water source could be controlled by this thing.

Xiao Ran suggested, just turn it around and give it a try, anyway, if it doesn't work, the bathroom will stop water, it's none of their business.

Just do it, he and Hu Bayi worked hard together, the rusty disc shook a few times, and turned a little bit.

There was a sudden "rustling" sound in the wall, and then those vents also creaked, and a large pile of off-white particles and powder flowed out of them.

The two hurriedly closed the valve again, Hu Bayi said: "It seems that this valve controls these transmission ports, as long as it is opened, the salt particles will flow out of it."

At this time, the fat man finally ran back out of breath, brushing shoulders with Xiao Ran and Hu Bayi without looking sideways, like a passerby who he didn't know at all.

He forgot to insert the hex wrench into the door hole, and was about to turn it, when he remembered to greet the two people who were still in the corridor: "Hurry up! If you don't come here, everything inside will be mine!"

The degree of rust on this airtight door is no less than that of the one above, perhaps because the air contains more salt, and the rust seems to be more severe. After a brute force operation by the three of them, they finally heard a "chi", and the door was full of spells. The airtight door was slowly opened.

A strange fishy smell came from the door, it sounded like rotting leaves and moss in the forest mixed with the smell of corpses.I don't know how long this smell has been sealed in this secret room, and it filled the entire corridor in an instant.

The three of them were suffocated by the smell, and felt that they couldn't open their eyes for a moment, and quickly retreated to the iron gate.After the smell dissipated a little, they held their guns again and cautiously approached the iron gate.

"Hush, there seems to be something moving inside..." Hu Bayi, who was walking in the front, said.

The three quickly stabilized their steps, walked to the airtight door, and looked in through the crack of the door.

"Oh my God!"

The scene inside the door made the fat man yelp like an Yingzi.

This secret room is round as a whole, with an estimated area of ​​more than square meters. In the center is a circular pool, with sticky foam on the black water surface.Several large and thick iron chains interlaced in the shape of a meter, sealing the mouth of the pool.

More than a dozen people were kneeling on the ground with their backs to the airtight door, kneeling towards the pool with extremely slow movements.The movement was so mechanical that it looked like a bunch of marionettes.

Judging from the clothes, there are ghosts inside, and there are people in white coats who look like medical staff, and two are wearing onmyoji printed white hunting clothes and black hats, and the front one is wearing a gray military uniform and black boots.

It seems that the missing people mentioned in the diary are here, at least some of them.

"Is his grandmother's a living person or a zongzi?" the fat man asked.

"Nonsense, have you heard that zongzi can kneel three times and kowtow nine times?" Hu Bayi said.

Xiao Ran remembered Guan Shandao's words, and said, "It really doesn't look like a living person, but maybe it's not a zongzi..."

The fat man's eyes widened: "It's that shit again?!"

Hu Bayi thought for a while and said, "It's not like that, the corpse is as hard as a steel bar, let alone kneeling, it's even hard to bend over."

"If you have the skills, just ask directly! You two are ready, if there is any situation, we will greet you with a gun!" The fat man couldn't help but push the door open.

But before he could speak, those people stood up slowly, followed the source of the voice, and slowly turned around.

"Old Hu! Fire!"

When the fat man saw the faces of those people, he panicked and raised his gun first to shoot.

Not only Fatty, Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran were also taken aback by the appearance of those people, and then quickly raised their guns, pouring firepower forward without hesitation.

These people are not alive at all. The flesh on their faces is mixed with sticky green pus, which is like mud on the bones. Some of them have even lost their eyeballs, and only two of them are left with green pus dripping on their faces. water hole.

The bullets hit them, except that the impact force would occasionally delay their forward movement, but it seemed that they did not cause fatal damage to them at all, and only left bullet holes dripping with green pus on their bodies.Even if they hit the head, they would continue to touch the three of them with the half of their heads blooming.

This was a new breed that had never been seen before, and the three of them fought and retreated until they ran out of bullets.

"What the hell is this?! Why can't it be killed!" the fat man yelled while changing magazines.

"I don't know! Retreat first, it is really impossible to deal with it with grenades!"

As soon as Hu Bayi finished speaking, a green pus zombie who was already approaching suddenly stopped, his neck bulged, and a ball shot out of his mouth, flying towards Hu Bayi.

Xiao Ran's heart tightened, the bullets hadn't been changed yet, and it was too late to draw the knife at this time.Seeing the thing flying closer and closer, it stretched its body suddenly, its mouth with fine fangs flew straight towards Hu Bayi's face, and the three eye stalks trembled in the air.

It turned out to be a three-eyed pagoda bellybug!These green pus zombies are the hosts of the three-eyed tower belly slug!
In Xiao Ran's mind, the scene that suddenly flashed before reappeared, but those zombies dripping with green pus turned into him, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang.

And Hu Bayi looked at the disgusting insects that were getting closer, and subconsciously closed his eyes.
