Chapter 2054 The corpse collection master no longer collects corpses
"Ahem, it turns out it's just a corpse."
With the second half of the sentence that was not spoken but clearly echoed in the air, "Are you still afraid of corpses?", Pina stepped on the garbage and debris on the ground, walked up and took a look, and couldn't help frowning.
They wrinkled together. "This man was once an evolved person after all. Why did he die at the beginning of the road? Is there danger around here?"
Pan Cui shook her head: "I've been here for ten minutes, at least I didn't notice it."
"I didn't feel it either," Lin Sanjiu replied - indeed, not only did her keen intuition fail to sound the alarm; only the three people and one corpse that appeared in her [Consciousness Scan] were the ones that should have appeared.
Pan Cui groped for a piece of broken L-shaped iron plate from the ground. It looked like it was a part used to reinforce furniture. As a person who has survived until now in the apocalypse, she naturally lost her respect for strange corpses and stabbed her with the L-shaped iron plate.
He poked its legs and knocked the corpse's shoulders and head a few times; the corpse trembled and made a low "thumping" sound, which sounded as if the inside had long been dry.
This method of inspection is naturally not as direct and comprehensive as turning it into a card; but they had just met, and Lin Sanjiu was unwilling to expose her ability early, so she only looked at it for a while and asked, "How is it?"
"Let's continue to find the way first," Pan Cui stirred the body a few more times, threw away the iron pipe, and said, "The body was in such bad condition that it was torn apart like a piece of beef jerky, soaked in water, and burned again.
It seems like... I can’t tell the cause of death at all, let alone any clues.”
"Be careful," Pina said, covering her nose. "The black thing you got out of its abdomen...is it an internal organ?"
Lin Sanjiu took a closer look at the dark wrinkled mass on the ground, which looked like dried thick meat, and found that it was vaguely shaped like a kidney, which made her feel a little nauseous. She quickly walked around it and pushed the office chair with the toes of her boots.
A little further away, he greeted: "Let's go, continue in the direction of the arrow."
"Does the road to 30 o'clock require us to clean up the trash?" Pina muttered, then stepped on the yellow arrow and kicked away a cracked table board next to her.
The three of them started clearing the road together, and the efficiency was naturally much higher. After a while, they had cleared four or five yellow arrows. However, the annoying thing is that this office space is obviously not big, and even ordinary people only need to clear the road.
It took a few minutes to get through; but the yellow arrow was twisting and turning, and after ten minutes, Lin Sanjiu discovered that the straight-line distance between herself and the corpse of the office chair had only increased by two meters.
Two meters is just her guess; because the lights will turn on wherever people go, and the light cast by dirty light bulbs is also hazy and weak as if covered with a layer of dust. The corpse of the office chair happens to be at the point where the lights are about to turn off.
His upper eyes sank into the dark junction, and in the haze, it looked like deformed limbs and head growing out of the chair.
"No wonder we couldn't see the arrow when we came in," Lin Sanjiu looked around and said, "The people in front cleared the way, but they didn't help us at all."
The office area visible to the naked eye was filled with large and small debris. The rubbish they cleared out could only be kicked aside. Coupled with the twists and turns of the yellow arrows, several people soon discovered that before
The initial arrows that were exposed were buried by themselves.
If the puppet master were here, a room of garbage would be turned into dust and blasted away in a blink of an eye, which would be easier to use than a leaf blower. Lin Sanjiu sighed secretly, and had no choice but to lift up another cubicle board and throw it away
Kai——Looking down, she suddenly took a breath.
"Another one?" Pan Cui was also surprised.
Lin Sanjiu quickly retracted her foot that almost stepped on the corpse's head, squatted down and took a closer look. Judging from the length of hair remaining on the head, the corpse might be that of a woman; the corpse was lying among the ruins, with rotten corpses everywhere.
It's almost impossible to tell which part is the corpse and which part is the garbage. The only thing that can be seen is a yellow arrow under its body.
"The situation is too bad. I don't know how long he died, but he couldn't have just died." Lin Sanjiu guessed, "There are no external enemies in the office. Could it be something colorless and breathless like poisonous bacteria?"
"Then we should have been affected a long time ago," Pan Cui bent down and shook his head and said, "If there is something that kills people unknowingly and kills the first body not far away as soon as they enter the door, how can we still be fine?
?”
"Hmm..." Pina hesitated from behind and made a long sound from her nose.
"How does the condition of this one compare with the one just now?" Lin Sanjiu raised her head and asked, "Does it look the same?"
When Pan Cui also squatted down and lowered his head to check the body, there were gentle blows from behind. Lin Sanjiu looked back and found that it was Pina, hitting the body next to her with her nails.
On Zhang's upside down desk - her eyes only occasionally glanced at Lin Sanjiu and Pan Cui, but most of the time, she glanced at the darkness behind her.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Sanjiu became alert and slowly straightened up.
"No...it should be nothing," Pina answered her, her eyes still not leaving the darkness. "You can't see anything from here, right?"
Indeed not - Lin Sanjiu used the small keychain flashlight she handed over to shine a light, and in the dim light, she could only see strange-shaped ruins and fragments.
Then why does she keep looking into the darkness?
Pina seemed to have sensed Lin Sanjiu's doubts, and said sheepishly: "Um...when we clear the road again later, can you two keep your voices down?"
"Why?" Lin Sanjiu was even more confused.
Pina hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't know what to say. "You should also be able to see that I have better observation skills...'observation' is not just about seeing with the eyes, the information perceived by the five senses and
Changes are all indispensable in observation. In short, I hope the noise can be smaller..."
When several people bypassed the second corpse and moved forward again to clear the way, Lin Sanjiu became more careful. It's just that "lower your voice" is not difficult to say, but it is really not easy to do.
: There are so many messy things around here, it's like walking through a garbage dump, and there are a lot of large pieces of garbage--for example, there are countless pieces of boards in the cubicle; all desks, computers and
The chair seemed to have taken root in the dirt and garbage. It was moved and kicked around, making little movement.
Pina reminded them several times; just as the two pushed away a pile of iron pipes, steel plates and the like again, she suddenly grabbed their clothes from behind and said hurriedly: "
Stop!"
"What's wrong?" Pan Cui frowned. As soon as he asked the three words, his face suddenly became startled. At the same time, the three people's voices fell silent.
In the lingering sound that had not completely dissipated, they all heard - "Creak".
The sound was sharp and short, as if the thing that made the sound was very careful and didn't want the sound to be noticed; the important thing is that it was also very familiar.
Lin Sanjiu stood on the spot, like the two people nearby, staring intently at the darkness where the sound came from; she already knew what the sound was, but when she wanted to listen again to confirm, the sound could not be heard again.
There was no sound.
"Sure enough... if we don't make any noise, the sound will disappear." Under the hanging light bulb, Pina's face turned a little pale. "I always felt that there was something else hidden in the sound of us clearing the road.
A voice..."
"Office chair." Pan Cui said in a calm voice, "It is a chair that squeaks when you sit on it after the parts have aged."
Before the end of the world, Lin Sanjiu once had a chair like this in his office.
She took the small flashlight from Pina's hand and walked over without saying a word.
"Be careful," Pina said quickly, like breathing.
As expected, after Lin Sanjiu walked through the road made of yellow arrows and stepped into the darkness, the light bulb above her head clicked on; under the dirty light bulb hanging motionless, it was the same light bulb that had just been
The body sitting on the office chair.
The face hanging upside down on the edge of the chair was still embedded with two holes; the body was blocked by the chair, and the feet were hanging on the ground. It looked as if those feet were stepping on the ground and pushing the chair over.
"Why...is it controlling the chair?" Pan Cui murmured, "Is it a fallen species? A zombie? Is it still alive?"
The [Protective Force Field] had covered her from head to toe. Lin Sanjiu carefully bent down and turned the chair half a circle. The body was still the same as before, so messed up that no clues could be seen; because when they inspected the body just now,
After moving it, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell whether the posture of the corpse had changed.
"Don't just look at me," Lin Sanjiu said without turning around, "Don't forget, you are facing another corpse now."
As soon as the rustling sound of the two people turning around hurriedly reached her ears, her hand touched the knee of the corpse like lightning; the card flashed in her hand and immediately turned into a corpse again. Lin Sanjiu "
"Throw" and threw it back on the chair - Pina heard the sound and immediately shouted: "What's wrong?"
"I moved the body," Lin Sanjiu replied, and asked Teacher Yi in her mind: "How is it? Did you see clearly?"
"I see clearly," Teacher Yi's tone was full of hesitation, "but..."
[The dead body in the copy]
A corpse that did not know what it had experienced after death. The subcutaneous tissue had turned into dry wadding, and the internal organs had shrunk into balls like donkey dung eggs. This corpse was like a leather tent held up by bones.
His blood, tissues and organs were all turned into black mud, and the cause of death could not be seen.
"It's almost the same as the result during our inspection," Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly, "It's useless to turn it into a card."
But at least one thing is certain: the corpse is still a corpse and has not turned into anything else. Even if something is moving, it is not the corpse itself.
"The second one is just a corpse," Pan Cui said doubtfully, "and there is no sign of moving."
"The dungeon is scary, isn't it?" Pina obviously wanted to make a good guess, and said hurriedly: "Just go out early, don't delay, let's go."
When several people were clearing the road again, they all moved a lot more lightly; they handled garbage and broken pieces as gently as crystal glass. It seemed that because there was no obstruction, the "squeaking" sound no longer stopped.
It rang out - but several people soon realized something else.
On the next three arrowheads they cleared, they unearthed four more corpses.
