Chapter 218 Sea of Corpses
The fish tail behind the man started from below the waist and merged into one with his skin.
On the man's chest, on both sides, there were three knife-like scratches, opening and closing as if they were breathing.
Even Lidya Su didn’t expect it.
In less than three months, Area 17 has evolved to this point.
The man also noticed the difference.
As he approached the energy shield and saw the people in it, a look of shock flashed across his eyes, followed by surprise when he saw his fellow tribesmen.
But when he opened his mouth, his chest just expanded and contracted, but no sound came from it.
In other words, Jiang Qiqi and the others couldn't understand this kind of sound.
Su Xiao communicates consciousness.
——I am Su Xiao, I am back.
The man was stunned when he heard the voice in his mind, but his eyes changed completely when he heard the name Su Xiao.
It has been 2 months and 23 days since the start of the sleep plan in Zone 17. They have completely lost contact with the outside world and have no idea what is happening on land or whether humans still exist.
——Wait, I will report to the commander immediately.
The man turned and swam deep into the sea.
Su Xiao followed him with a few people.
The deeper they sank into the sea, the darker it became around them, but because of Su Xiao's energy shield, they could still see a glimmer of light.
Xiao Qi lowered his head and screamed, "Ah!"
Everyone was startled by the sound.
Looking down, the sight that meets the eye sends a chill down one's spine.
Countless corpses that had turned pale from being soaked in water on the seabed were looking up as if at them.
They just sank to the bottom of the sea, one after another, tens of thousands of them, like mud bricks paving the road on the seabed.
"Oh my God, what on earth happened in District 17?" Xiao Qi realized that this was District 17 and these people could only be the survivors of District 17.
This scene reminded her of the day when District 9 was sacrificed, and she couldn't help but tear up.
Turtle Hermit said: "They all have chains on their bodies, and they are pressed to the bottom of the sea by humans."
Everyone has an iron chain around their ankle.
If you look closely, you will find that the names of each corpse are engraved on these chains.
"How long have these people been dead..." Jiang Qiqi felt numb all over. Although she had experienced the end of the world and had seen dead people and undead people, she was still scared when she looked down from above and saw all the corpses with pale faces.
If you look closely you can see it on their faces.
Master Kame shook his head. "It's hard to tell. The new era hasn't officially begun. The seabed is a high-salt environment, which can delay the decay of corpses. In addition, the seabed is still being purified, and there are no microorganisms to decompose their bodies, so it is impossible to tell how long they have been dead."
The state of these corpses looked like they had only been dead for half a day.
The new era has not officially begun, and their traces still remain.
"There are so many corpses here, it doesn't look like the work of the undead." Wang Hong said slowly, "These people are arranged in an orderly manner, and their limbs and facial features are intact. It may be because it is difficult to bury them in the seabed, and they cannot be left in the underground city, so District 17 can only place them in this way."
No one expected such a scene beneath the calm ice surface. They tried to look straight ahead, but it was hard to ignore the corpses in their peripheral vision that were looking up, as if trying to break free from the shackles of the seabed and float to the surface.
After drifting across the sea of corpses, several people were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
More than ten minutes later, the corpse finally passed by, and the mermaid in front stopped in front of a black raised mechanism.
The mechanism was like a big fish catcher, and the mermaid swam in and waited for them quietly inside.
Su Xiao led a few people in.
The man pressed the switch, the valve closed, and the water inside began to drain out, soon becoming a waterless room. As the water was drained, the man's lower body turned into legs, becoming bare.
Xiao Qi subconsciously covered his eyes.
Su Xiao stared calmly. Since she was an energy body now, no one knew she was watching.
Jiang Qiqi raised her chin high.
So what!
There are so many corpses on the road, it's not like I haven't seen it before.
Master Roshi touched his chin and asked, "Is this evolution?" Why does it feel like degeneration?
The man's face turned awkward, and he quickly wrapped himself with the black cloth hanging next to him.
"Please follow me."
I went in with a few people, only to find that several members were already standing at the entrance.
By inspecting the house, they had already discovered that the other party had brought back several humans.
It is difficult to get down to the bottom of this deep sea even with human technology before the end of the world. Moreover, the ice seems to divide the world above and below the ice into two worlds. Ordinary survivors cannot get down at all. However, these people are wrapped in a huge energy shield. They have a guess, could it be the arrival of a new god?
Is the end of the world?
The man said, "Report to the commander immediately, it's Su Xiao... She's back. Please inform Academician Zhu of this news."
They were stunned for a moment and scanned the faces of these people, but none of them looked like the photos of Lidya Su they had seen.
He immediately turned around and went to find Zhu Yang.
Su Xiao silently observed several people. They seemed to be human beings, but in Su Xiao's divine eyes, they were very different from the man just now.
These are normal human bodies, with hearts still beating.
But the man just now had a stopped heart and didn't even have any body temperature.
Several people were silent, and for a moment they did not dare to introduce themselves easily.
Because it is impossible to tell whether the other party is real or fake.
The first to arrive was Hua Hui.
He strode over. He didn't know Master Roshi, but he had seen Jiang Qiqi, Wang Hong and Xiao Qi.
He saluted, "I am the current commander of Area 17, Hua Hui."
His eyes fell on Master Roshi, whom he had never seen before.
For a moment, he thought that the other person might be Lidya Su, so he raised his hand and said solemnly, "Hello, Miss Su, welcome back."
Although I don’t know why Su Xiao became a man and I don’t understand, I respect him.
"No, no, no, I'm not the boss, my name is Erudite." Master Roshi quickly explained, "The boss doesn't have a carbon-based body now, you have to find a corpse..."
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Qiqi suddenly said, "No, where is Moyou!"
Several people looked at each other.
Hua Hui only heard Lidya Su’s voice in his mind.
——They stayed here and waited for me.
Energy body, no need to open or close the dungeon door, you can leave first.
So after Su Xiao gave the instructions, he went to find Moyou first.
Leave a few people here.
Jiang Qiqi and Hua Hui have met several times, and Jiang Qiqi said, "Wang Hong and I are now transformed people."
The people nearby immediately became alert after hearing this.
Jiang Qiqi quickly said: "But the situation is a little different."
The sound of footsteps was heard, and the familiar Zhu Yang came, with familiar facial features, but she seemed to have aged ten years in just three months.
Fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes and he looked a lot thinner.
Seeing Jiang Qiqi, Zhu Yang said, "Congratulations on coming back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire dungeon began to tremble, as if it was being violently attacked by something.
