Apocalyptic waste

The cave is very quiet. I don't know if it's because the ceiling is low, the environment is too claustrophobic, the air is thin, or it's because of psychological reasons. The further they go in, the more depressed the three of them feel, and they even feel like they can't breathe.Although Xu Jing looked like she didn't care, she had come here through life and death several times, even though she seemed to have a good grasp of the situation inside, she didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.Many times, people often die because of slackness, complacency, and arrogance, not because of lack of ability.

No matter how long the road is, there will be an end, and no matter how far the journey is, there will be an end. Soon, the front suddenly opens up, revealing a huge cave.Everything was as Chen Dong described, but the shock to the three of them was stronger than what he described.

This cave is like hollowing out the mountainside where the entire Jiezhai is located. The ladder is built according to the mountain, and it goes up into the darkness, and down it is a cave bottom that suddenly expands and is slightly concave, which is as big as five or six football fields. Close to the rock, there are densely packed zombies, there are seven to eight thousand people. people.The distance from the rock where they were standing was not only five or six meters high as Chen Dong said, but at least fifteen or six meters.Chen Dong may have been in a state of panic all the time, so he felt that the distance was shockingly close.

The reason why I can see it so clearly is because there are torches planted around the huge mountain wall. About a meter below the torch is a half-meter-wide canyon road, which seems to be cut out of the mountain wall abruptly. It should be used to set foot on the torch.Because of these torches, although the cave cannot be said to be brightly lit, it is more than enough to see up and down more than ten meters.Against the background of the fire and darkness, their position was like a flat boat in the sea before the storm, small and fragile.

Surprisingly, the two Jie people mentioned by Chen Dong were not seen on the rock platform. There was only an altar standing there alone, and there were a few blackened bowls on it, which could not be seen. For the sacrifice, on the mountain wall of the altar, a three-headed portrait about three meters high is painted with black and red paint. The distinctive feature of the Jie people is that the sheep's head on the left shoulder stretches obliquely, and the curved horn is strong, but the head of a vulture is tilted on the right shoulder, staring fiercely and greedily at all the weak creatures crawling under its feet, and the hook-shaped beak edge still remains. There was a smear of dark red blood, as if he had just had a full meal.The color of the portrait is dim, and some places are even blurred. It is obviously very old, but even so, there is still a ferocious and fierce intention rushing towards the face, which makes people quite breathless.

The three of them felt a little awe-inspiring, and they didn't know where the Jie people had gone, and they didn't want to stay here for a long time, they just wanted to save people as soon as possible and leave.

"People are here!" With Chen Dong's reminder, plus a few very obvious thick ropes tied to the stalagmites on the side of the mountain wall, crossing the rocks and hanging down, Routa Chen easily found the few people hanging in mid-air. personal.It may be that the number of Jie people is too small, and it is too late to transfer them.

Nan Shao walked over, first looked at the salivating zombies waving their claws upwards under his eyes, saw that they were all wearing gorgeous national costumes, and he was probably sure that they were the group that had besieged them before, and then he bent down to look at the hanging people , found Jin Mantang from it, and was very surprised to see a person he never expected.He narrowed his eyes slightly, without much hesitation, and said to Routa Chen; "Rescue people first." No matter where the two Jie people went or what conspiracy they had, their ultimate goal was to save people.As for the others, before the opponent's next move can't be predicted, only the soldiers will come to block, see the tricks and break the tricks.

For the sake of caution, they pulled up Jin Mantang first.Nan Shao feels pretty good about this girl who is straightforward and repays her kindness. Of course, the most important reason is that she saved Zhang Yi.Just because of this, no matter how arrogant or bad-tempered she is, Nan Shao still thinks she's good, not to mention she doesn't have these problems.

"They're all on our own." Jin Mantang, who was rescued, looked ashamed, but he didn't suffer any injuries, and his ability was still working, obviously he was frightened.Fortunately, she also knew that the situation did not allow her to regain her composure, so she insisted on helping Nan Shao and the others to identify everyone, "A Jie man took Chen Dong out..." Speaking of this, her lips trembled For a moment, obviously recalling the bloody scene of Chen Dong's leg being broken in front of them, he calmed down, and then continued: "There were two more that were still there before, and then they seemed to be saying something about why the corpse god below didn't move for a long time , did something happen, and after a few murmurs, there was no sound." Because they were hung under the rock, they could hear some noises in their ears, but they couldn't see anything, so they couldn't provide any information. More useful intelligence.

There was nothing to see here, and there was no one else on the way here except the Jie man who was carrying Chen Dong, so the other two Jie people probably went up the steep ladder by the rock when they sensed something was wrong.This matter can be put aside for the time being. What Nan Shao and the others are concerned about right now is whether they will save people who should not be saved. After hearing her words, they no longer hesitate and start to pull other people up one after another.There were five people who were hanged including Jin Mantang. It turned out that besides Chen Dong, another person was also disembowelled and his brain core was dug out in front of them, and then thrown below to feed the zombies. His face was gray and defeated, he was really frightened.This is probably the purpose of the Jie people. They want to crush a few people psychologically, so that they can no longer have the idea of ​​​​resisting, and then they can be at their mercy.Compared with ordinary people in Nanshao and his group who originally had a lot of guns and ammunition, supernatural beings seem to be more attractive to Jie people, which is the main reason why they temporarily took away the large group of zombies to lure Jin Mantang and others in. .

Whether it was intentional or not, Nan Shao left Jiang Hang as the last one. Unexpectedly, when pulling the fourth person up, a low drum sound suddenly sounded in the empty cave.The sound of the drum came from the direction of the cave roof. Although it was low-pitched, it seemed to be ringing continuously because of the echo.

People on both sides of the drum sound are no strangers. Jin Mantang and the others came to Jiezhai only when they heard the drum sound, but because they were too far away, they didn't feel as deeply as Nan Shao and the others.So it was a little strange to see the three of Nanshao's faces change when they heard the sound of the drum, and they each took something out of their pockets and stuffed it into their ears.

"Hurry up." Nan Shao said to Rou Tachen, and then looked at the three people who had already been untied from the rope, "You better plug your ears with cloth, there is something wrong with the sound of the drum." After finishing speaking, ignore it They, together with Routa Chen, speeded up to pull the remaining two people.He really didn't expect the rescued people to come to help, because the three of them were too weak to stand up.

Of course women would not be allowed to do the physical work of pulling people up. When they rescued people, Xu Jing had already circled the rocks and made sure that there was no other path except the steep road leading to the top of the cave. Sweeping the dishes on the altar to the ground, set up the only assault rifle he brought out on it, facing the steep road.It was useless when confronted with the fire-type superhuman Jie before, because he was afraid that the gunshots would alert the people inside, and now this worry is naturally gone.

At the same time, on a piece of cement-polished flat ground on the top of the mountain, a dry and thin old man of Capricorn wearing a strange attire with a ram's head and sheepskin, holding two mallets in his hand, was standing there calmly and calmly. He beat the sheepskin drum on the stone pedestal in front of him, as if he didn't care about what happened in the cave below.Beside him, a tall young man of Jie people faced two bungalows, using his ability to make the mutated plants not far away slowly climb up the house, and finally wrapped the whole bungalow.

It turns out that the steep stone ladder in the cave leads to the top of the mountain. Because the exit is a bit roundabout and covered by rocks, even if a torch is lit on it, the light will not penetrate to the bottom.

Outside the exit is the top of the mountain, and there is a small flat land surrounded by mutated plants.On one side of the ground there are two low bungalows built with stones. It used to be the place where the Laojie people usually lived, but after the end of the world, they made another way.On the other side opposite to the house, on the edge of the concrete floor, there stood five giant green cocoons intertwined with mutated iron vines.The mutated iron vine is very strong, no matter whether it is chopped by a knife or an axe, or fired by fire and lightning, it can't do anything about it, and it is the most solid and difficult to break when used as a cage.However, as the drum beat heavily and slowly, the mutated iron vine slowly loosened and retreated as if being driven away by something, revealing the humanoid creature inside.

"Go down the mountain now, open the gate of the corpse god, and leave immediately. Before the Jie god unifies the land, don't tell anyone that you are a Jie person." Seeing that the bungalow was sealed tightly by mutated plants, the Lao Jie person beat a drum His movements stopped slightly, and he said to the young Jie people.

"Master Si, what about you?" the young man of Jie people asked.

"I am a sacrificial priest, so I should sacrifice myself!" The Laojie man's old voice was flat and calm, as if he was saying something that could only be taken for granted.

"Master Sacrifice..." The young man's eyes turned red, and he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the old man raising his hand.

"Don't say any more, being able to sacrifice your body to the gods is the supreme honor of being a priest. You go." After speaking, the slightly broken drumbeat continued again, and the sound pierced the sky, as if carrying the vicissitudes of history of the Jie people for thousands of years.

Sure enough, the young Jie man stopped persuading him, knelt down and kowtowed to the old Jie man, then got up and quickly disappeared into the mutant forest next to the mountain top.He is a powerful wood-type supernatural power, not only will mutated plants not harm him, but they can also be used by him.Therefore, Mutated Forest is a dangerous environment for others, but it is a peaceful way for him.Going down from here can surprise the enemy.

After the young man left, the beating of the drum in the old man's hand became more and more urgent, and the iron vines that had stopped retreated away like a snake again, faster and faster, and finally released the five zombies that were entwined and bound in it.The five zombies were dressed in the same costumes as the other Jie zombies, two women and three men, their eyes were dull and lifeless, the difference was that their respective skin colors were a bit strange, one was smudged black, as if rolled out of coal, There are two other faint green ones, reminiscent of ghosts with blue faces and fangs, but their canines are really sharp protruding from the corners of their mouths, and the other is gray-white in stone and soil, only one looks normal, except for the firelight shining on it Occasionally, there will be a metallic luster on the body.As soon as the zombies were free, they rushed towards the only living creature in the arena.

The old priest was not panicked, he put down the drumsticks in a calm manner, and then crawled down to the zombies that rushed towards him, because the body was covered with sheep's head and sheepskin, it really looked like an old sheep waiting to be slaughtered .

"I sacrifice my body to the gods, and may the light of the gods cover the earth, our people..." The old voice tremblingly prayed, but his gods didn't give him a chance to finish his wish, and in a blink of an eye After tearing him apart and eating him, I don't know if he regretted everything he had done when he stopped with his last breath, and whether he doubted everything he had firmly believed in.

The food sharing situation was harmonious, but when there was only one head left, several zombies fought with each other.This may be something the old priest did not think of.He tried his best to support these five high-level corpse gods, hoping that through them and the nearly [-] lower-level corpse gods below, the Jie people could become the rulers of the land and regain the glory of their ancestors. Let your own people kill first.

Zombies are ignorant and are only interested in fresh flesh and blood. They especially like living people. They have always been uninterested in the same kind. What's more interesting is that they eat what they have, and turn away when they don't eat. At most, they are revealing When wandering around bloody or popular places for a period of time, I never fight with the same kind, even if I fancy the piece of meat that the same kind is eating, at worst, I rush to share the food with it, and there will be no disputes between them .In this way, it is more friendly than human beings.So these five zombies actually killed each other because of a head that had lost its vitality and was not too fresh. Monopoly.

The war was fierce, but it didn't last long. In the end, the normal zombie won. Three zombies were killed and one escaped.The escaped zombie was the gray one. Seeing that something was wrong, it turned around and ran into the cave.The victorious zombie didn't bother with it, but decisively inserted its sharp claws into the Laojie man's head, stirred it up for a while, and finally took out a crystal clear crystal nucleus from it and swallowed it, and then Doing the same thing, he also took out the crystal nuclei from the heads of the other three zombies and swallowed them.Throughout the whole process, although it still had a zombie expression on its face, it revealed a very pleasant feeling all over its body.If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely be terrified and panicked.

-

The drumming stopped suddenly, leaving only the echo still echoing in the cave.When everyone was in doubt, Xu Jing, who had been watching the stone ladder, suddenly gasped and motioned Nan Shao and the others to look up: "What is that?"

However, when everyone looked up, there was nothing worth noting except for the gray mountain wall and the deep darkness.

"It's nothing. Are you delusional?" Routa Chen asked. The cave was dark. Although the torches were lit, but staring at one direction for a long time, coupled with depressed mood, it is very possible to be delusional.

Xu Jing stared at the direction where she saw things before and took a few more careful glances. She didn't even miss the surroundings, but there was indeed nothing. She, who has always been conceited about her eyesight, couldn't help but hesitate a little.

At this time, everyone was pulled up, but because of hanging for too long and being overly frightened, except for Jin Mantang who was pulled up first, the other four people were still unable to stand up, so we had to wait for them to recover a little to go out.Seeing Xu Jing's expression, everyone in the group breathed a sigh of relief, only Nan Shao's complexion was not very good.

"Help one person and get out of here immediately." He made a decisive decision.If it weren't for the tunnel that only allowed two people to go side by side, he would have suggested that one person should support two, so that he could spare the manpower to deal with the enemy at any time, but right now he couldn't care about so much, he just wanted to leave this disturbing place as soon as possible.

All the people present have suffered a lot here, and absolutely no one has much nostalgia for this place. Hearing this, there is not even a single objection.Jin Mantang walked over bluntly and pulled Jiang Hang up. She didn't know if Nan Shao's companions knew about the stupid things Jiang Hang had done. In case no one would carry him in the end, she simply took the initiative and didn't let It's embarrassing and time-consuming.

Nan Shao didn't have the time to pay attention to Jiang Hang at this time. Although he was humiliated at the beginning, he finally got Jin Mantang's shot, not only helped him save Zhang Yi who was dying, but also healed several companions. It's a fair deal, and he doesn't have much time to spare if he wants to take revenge on Jiang Hang afterwards, but if he has the opportunity, he can consider doing it.The current situation is complicated and unclear, how could he have the mind to think about these things.If he can leave this place safely, he is willing to let him not bother Jiang Hang again.

Jin Mantang took Jiang Hang away, leaving two men and one woman, and the woman was naturally handed over to Xu Jing.After the woman was pulled up from the rock, she was terrified of falling again, so she rolled and crawled until she reached the inner mountain wall before stopping. Seeing Xu Jing approaching at this time, she was also afraid of delaying other people's time and being thrown away. Down, so he was grabbing the mountain wall and trying to stand up.At this moment, she saw that Xu Jing's face suddenly changed when she was walking towards her, and she felt uneasy, and was about to ask what was wrong, when she felt her scalp tighten, as if a hand grabbed her hair, and then her shoulders tightened. Pain, being bitten hard by something.
