In the putrid swamp, there were knocking sounds from the white-painted corpse storage tank.
These storage tanks are made of stainless steel. The dead bodies soaked in formalin are very heavy. If it were not for the pulleys underneath, it would be difficult for a strong man to pull them. The rectangular tank cover has a buckle on the outside. Even if it is now affected by
Despite the impact from inside, it is still stable for the time being.
The impact became more and more violent, and he became more and more anxious.
Yu Chi and the others aimed their rifles at the storage tank and did not move rashly; Deng Ximei and the others on the other side immediately carefully returned the way they came.
The eight corpse troughs scattered in the swamp all made such noises. The things trapped inside were constantly bumping into each other, and there were vague muffled screams that were weird and unintelligible.
"Ximei, what do you think?" Yu Chi asked anxiously, "Should we open it?"
Everyone also looked at Deng Ximei, but Deng Ximei's feeling was very confusing. There was life in it. It was clear that there was life, but it was also hazy, turbid, and stagnant, like a ball of mud. She couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. At the same time, the corpse trough
A continuous rain of impacts reached its peak, and then slowed down.
The things inside seem to be being suffocated. If you want to capture them alive, you have to open the corpse trough quickly.
If you want to suffocate that thing, just watch it, but this may also be a trick of the dark thing, just to make them relax their guard.
"It's dying." Deng Ximei frowned and thought, "I can't tell what it is."
"If that's the case, then I don't think you should open it." Lou Xiaoning said harshly, "Just let that thing taste full of formalin."
Feng Peiqian and Grant Bell also agreed that under the current situation, the Fogbreaker team does not need to take more risks.
They don't know how those dead-skinned people came back to life. It is possible that they were nourished by the power of the black goat when they crossed the boundary and regained life. However, judging from the available information, this is a person who destroyed the alien civilization.
Species, they have powerful bodies - Dongzhou Tianji Bureau has already known this during the battle with them. In the world of Tianji, they only lack intelligence and knowledge, but here, in the womb of the black goat, the situation
Maybe it's quite different.
The dead-skinned man struggling in the corpse trough at the moment may be the kind Dr. Carlop was fighting against.
They are most likely more powerful than ghouls and deep lurkers, and may even be as difficult to deal with as flying polyps and alien locusts.
Their team of eight people had just arrived in this foreign land and had not yet established a stable foothold. It was not wise to take this risk.
"Anyway, if you open it and find it's out of breath, I won't give you artificial respiration." Uncle Dan made a little joke, "I've never breathed formalin before."
Peacock and Mo Qing expressed no objection, while Deng Ximei looked at the corpse trough that gradually became quieter and said nothing. Her feeling was too weird. When the life in the corpse trough should have died again, her heart tightened slightly.
It doesn't look like the beating when a foreign enemy dies.
One by one, the corpse troughs also lost their movement and became silent again, just like the rotting mud around them.
"Dead?" Yu Chi looked at Deng Ximei and then at everyone. He felt inexplicably anxious from just now, "Let's open this carefully and take a look."
They did not plan to take these corpse troughs with them. Not only did they want to save energy, speed up the journey, and improve concealment, but also because these corpse troughs were stuck in the mud. If they moved them, people would probably get trapped in the mud.
In danger of sinking.
But of course you have to open the corpse trough to see what's going on. Whether the dead skinned people inside are dead or alive must be dealt with before the team can set out to explore. Otherwise, there will only be an unknown danger lurking behind them.
Originally, each corpse trough was equipped with an electronically controlled automatic lid opening device, but all the electronic equipment they brought were broken, and this one was no exception, with no response.
So you can only go up and open it manually. The mechanical device should not be broken. All you need is to unlock the lock and push the slot cover firmly.
"I'll do it." Mo Qing invited the tassel. The most dangerous person in this operation was undoubtedly the one who opened the trough.
"Be careful." Peacock couldn't help but said. Catherine also asked Tom to be careful. In fact, Tom was not willing and wanted Grant Bell to go up. Tom said: "Grant is the right choice. It is said that the survival rate will be higher than us, and he is more suitable for adventure...
"
"It makes sense." Grant Bell was not afraid, "Guys, I'll do it, it's just me."
"Okay, during your fight, it was already dead." Uncle Dan joked again, "It can't be saved."
The last person who went up to open the trough was Grant Bell. The others surrounded the corpse trough and guarded various key positions. Even the sky was guarded. Even if a strange monster rose into the sky as soon as the trough cover was pushed, it would still be
Covered by the firepower of Peacock and Uncle Dan.
Lou Xiaoning, who was in charge of aiming at the front, was even more eager to try. She really hoped that the thing would fake death so that she could shoot it happily.
"Is everyone ready?" Grant Bell asked, only three steps away from the corpse trough. When everyone responded that they were ready, he took another step forward and used the rifle in his hand to open the lock, and there was a click.
Afterwards, the corpse trough remained silent.
Everyone stared intently and held their breath, their arms holding the guns as solid as iron.
Grant Bell then pressed the barrel of the gun against the outside of the slot cover, pushed it hard with both hands, and with a click, the stainless steel slot cover automatically moved back.
There was no strange thing jumping out, no black mist surging, it was still quiet, but everyone was still tense and didn't dare to be careless.
As the tank cover retreated, the scene inside the storage tank was slowly revealed in front of Grant Bell's eyes. Only he could see it at this moment, and other people's eyes in the distance could not touch it, so he didn't know why Bell's face suddenly changed.
There was a big change, and the whole person seemed to be stunned.
"Oh, no..." Grant Bell murmured, unable to recover, "How, how is it possible..."
His complexion was getting worse and worse, his feet were swaying slightly, and he was almost unsteady, staggering, and he didn't know what kind of impact he was suffering.
"Grant? Grant?" Lou Xiaoning called loudly, "What's going on inside?"
The uneasiness in Deng Ximei's heart became stronger and stronger.
"You, you all... come and take a look..." Grant Bell's voice was a little flustered, "Maybe this is just my hallucination?"
"I'm going to take a look. That may be a stressor. Keep paying attention!" Yu Chi walked forward anxiously. Although he had PTSD, it was abnormal PTSD, and ordinary dark things stressors could not let him down at all.
Mentally affected, if he is fine after seeing it, others are probably fine...
No, he has PTSD and others don't. If he is fine after seeing it, others are probably fine.
Yu Chi's mind was driven by an inexplicable impulse, his logic was confused, and he couldn't control his steps.
"Team Yu!" Feng Peiqian shouted urgently, "One of your mental pillars has just collapsed."
Others didn't think it was a good idea for Yu Chi to step forward to check, but Yu Chi had already strode closer to the corpse trough, close enough that he could see what was going on inside the trough.
For a moment, Yu Chi's expression was startled, his face turned red, and then he became confused.
What was soaked in the formalin in the corpse trough was not a dead human corpse, but the corpse of a human man. The unshaven face was full of the pain of death.
Yu Chi saw himself, and the corpse was his own...
In other words, it is Yu Chi, with exactly the same body shape and exactly the same face.
For the first time, he saw himself with his own eyes.
