Chapter 673 The bodies of the previous team members
After seeing the bloody words on the tombstone, everyone was stunned in place with a look of horror.
If the eight big characters engraved on the previous tombstone were a warning to those who were about to enter the Hatching Land, then the bloody words engraved on the tombstone in front of me at this moment were a naked threat.
"Kowtow three times and you can get out of here safely?" I looked at the line of bloody words and swallowed my saliva, thinking that maybe what Yu Wei said just now was true, that the heads of the three families more than a hundred years ago knelt down and kowtowed three times after seeing this line of bloody words, and then turned around and left directly?
"Captain Wu, Captain Zhang, where did the blood on this tombstone come from?" At this time, a young soldier said tremblingly.
Not only him, but the others also looked puzzled.
The words on the tombstone seemed to have just been written. Not only were they bright red, but there seemed to be a faint smell of blood. In particular, the blood was constantly flowing down the tombstone. It felt as if there was a freshly killed corpse on the top of the tombstone that we could not see!
"Could it be..." Lao Kong suddenly spoke up, with a horrified look on his face: "Nangong Xiayu has been killed? This blood is his?"
"Impossible!" I shook my head and said: "Nangong is very likely to have voluntarily followed the wedding procession and left. Even the Corpse King did not notice him. It is impossible that he was killed as soon as he entered the Hatching Yin Land. And..."
I suddenly thought of the scene a few days ago at the Xishen Inn, when Nangong Xiayu was about to be crushed by the giant spirit.
At that moment, Nangong Xiayu seemed to have become a different person. Not only was he extremely crazy, but the power he exploded was also extremely terrifying.
If Nangong Xiayu really encountered danger, I don't believe he would be killed directly. At least, he would turn into the devil that day again.
"It's just a tombstone, who cares what it does? Let's go while the Corpse King is getting married!" Yu Wei behind him kept urging them. After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and then continued to move forward.
Although this Hatching Land is weird, it is still a little different from what I imagined in my mind before.
Before entering the Hatching Land, I thought it was a place where ghosts and zombies were rampant. As long as you enter it, there are fierce ghosts and zombies everywhere.
But now that I have entered it, I find that it is not the case. It is much weirder than I imagined.
The dense and endless graves seemed to stretch to the end of the world. The rolling cold wind blew up the yellow sand from time to time, revealing the bones buried in the yellow sand. Groups of crows kept circling in the mist, and sometimes made weird "cackle" sounds.
The weird calls seemed to be laughing at us, a group of living people who had just entered this dead land!
At this time, we had walked to the tall tombstone. When everyone was about to go around it, suddenly, a cold wind blew from the top of my head. I raised my head suddenly, and then I saw that a bloody thing was falling rapidly and hitting Lao Kong's head.
"Be careful!" I pulled Lao Kong away, and almost at the moment when Lao Kong was pulled away, there was a muffled "bang", and the bloody black object fell heavily to the ground.
"What the hell is that!" Lao Kong was shocked and his face turned pale. He subconsciously took two steps back, and his eyes were full of fear.
No one said anything, and they all looked at the thing that had just fallen to the ground with a vigilant look.
"This seems to be... a corpse?" A little warrior spoke up and whispered: "Could it be... alive?"
"It's dead!" said the little warrior on the side.
But the little warrior shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was... could this thing be a dead thing that can move?"
As soon as he said this, the other little warriors all subconsciously took a step back, then raised their guns and aimed at the corpse on the ground.
"Brother Yu Wei, does this thing smell like a corpse?" Wu Sheng asked.
Hearing this, Yu Wei shook his head and said, "No, it shouldn't be a zombie."
"Qian Yu, come with me and take a look." After Wu Sheng finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the corpse. Seeing this, I shook my head helplessly, thinking that this person really didn't forget me no matter how dangerous it was!
Although I thought so in my heart, I still followed Wu Sheng.
When he got closer, he saw that the corpse looked extremely miserable. Its arms and legs were twisted and tangled together in a very weird posture. It was cut into many pieces. Its stomach had a big hole in it. All the internal organs were gone. A piece of intestine was even sticking out. From time to time, there were maggots crawling around inside. It was as disgusting as it could be.
Mr. Wu used a short knife to turn the corpse over. He immediately saw that the face of the corpse was a bloody mess. He didn't know whether it was broken when it fell or something else. It was impossible to recognize its appearance before it was born.
However, Wu Sheng frowned as if he had discovered something, and whispered: "This clothes..."
He paused here, and used the short knife to pick the clothes of the corpse.
The corpse was covered in blood, and the clothes were stained with blood, and it was impossible to distinguish anything. However, as Wu Sheng used the short knife to pick, the inner lining of the corpse's clothes was picked off by Wu Sheng.
When Mr. Wu took it closer and took a look, he was immediately shocked and said, "This material is the same as the combat uniforms we wear!"
I was also shocked when I heard it, and then said with a look of astonishment, "You mean, this body is... from the previous batch of team members?"
"It's possible, I'll go and see." After Mr. Wu finished speaking, he walked closer to the body and saw him take out a pair of gloves from his pocket. After putting them on, he began to search the body.
The next moment, I saw Mr. Wu find an ID from the inner lining of the body. After opening it, Mr. Wu's face suddenly turned pale.
"It's Dou Xu!"
"What?" When Mr. Wu said this, the faces of all the young warriors, including Lao Kong, changed.
"Captain Wu, are you saying that this body is... Instructor Dou?" a young soldier said in astonishment.
Wu Sheng did not say anything, but just nodded.
"Damn it, it's impossible. Old Dou was a special forces soldier for 20 years, and he fought on the battlefield for many years. How could he die in such a hellish place!" Old Kong cursed loudly, then stepped forward quickly and hugged the body in his arms.
Then he saw that Old Kong ripped the clothes on the chest of the corpse very roughly, and when the clothes were torn, revealing a wolf head tattoo on the chest of the corpse, Old Kong suddenly looked ashen and fell to the ground.
"Dad, why are you..." Lao Kong clenched his fists and cursed with a trembling voice: "Fuck!"
