Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2055 The master of collecting corpses no longer collects corpses
"Hey, it turned out to be just a corpse."

With the second half of the sentence "Are you still afraid that the corpse will fail" that was not spoken but echoed clearly in the air, Pina stepped on the garbage and debris on the ground, walked up and glanced twice, and couldn't help but frown. Wrinkled together. "This person was an evolutionary at any rate, why did he die at the beginning of the road? Is there danger around here?"

Pan Cui shook her head: "I've been in for 10 minutes, at least I didn't notice."

"I didn't feel it either," Lin Sanjiu replied—indeed, not only did her keen intuition not sound the alarm; only the three people and one corpse that appeared in her [Consciousness Scanning] appeared.

Pan Cui groped on the ground to find a broken L-shaped iron plate, which seemed to be a part for strengthening furniture.As a person who has lived in the last days, she naturally lost her respect for the strange corpse. She poked its leg with an L-shaped iron, and knocked on the shoulder and head of the corpse a few times; the corpse trembled and made a low "bang bang" sound Noisy, it sounds like the interior is already dry.

This kind of inspection method is naturally not as direct and comprehensive as turning it into a card; but they had just met, Lin Sanjiu was unwilling to expose his ability early, so he just looked around for a while and asked, "How is it?"

"Let's continue to find the way first." Pan Cui turned over the corpse a few more times, threw the iron pipe, and said, "The condition of the corpse is too bad, so I tore it up like a piece of beef jerky, soaked it in water and burned it again." It's like...the cause of death can't be seen at all, let alone clues."

"Be careful," Pina said, covering her nose, "the black lump you got out of its belly...is it an internal organ?"

Lin Sanjiu took a closer look at the dark wrinkled, air-dried, thick flesh-like thing on the ground, and found that it was still vaguely shaped like a kidney, and she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted; she quickly avoided it, and pushed the office chair with the tip of her boot. A little farther away, he greeted: "Let's go, continue in the direction of the arrow."

"The way to 30 o'clock is for us to clean up the trash," Pina grumbled, and then stepped on the yellow arrow, kicking away a cracked table next to her.

The three of them cleared the road together, and the efficiency was naturally much higher. After a while, four or five yellow arrows were cleared.However, the annoying thing is that this office space is obviously not big, and even ordinary people can walk through it in a few minutes; but the yellow arrow twists and turns, and after ten minutes, Lin Sanjiu found that the straight-line distance between himself and the corpse of the office chair had only increased by two meters.

Two meters is just her guess; because the lights will only light up where people walk, and the light cast by the dirty bulb is also hazy and powerless as if covered with a layer of dust.The corpse of the office chair was just at the junction where the light was about to close his eyes and sink into the darkness. In the dimness, it looked like deformed limbs and heads grew out of the chair.

"No wonder you couldn't see the arrow when you came in." Lin Sanjiu looked around and said, "The people in front have cleared the way, and it won't help us at all."

In the area of ​​the office visible to the naked eye, there are piles of large and small pieces of waste. The garbage they cleared can only be swept aside; plus the yellow arrow bends and twists, they soon discovered that the previous The exposed initial arrows were buried by themselves again.

If the puppeteer is there, a room of garbage can be turned into dust and blown away in a blink of an eye, which is better than a leaf blower.Lin Sanjiu sighed secretly. She had no choice but to lift up another piece of inter-lattice board and throw it away—she looked down, and she suddenly took a deep breath.

"Another one?" Pan Cui was also taken aback.

Lin Sanjiu quickly retracted the foot that almost stepped on the head of the corpse, and squatted down to take a closer look.Judging from the length of the remaining hair on the head, this corpse may be a woman; the corpse lay lying among the ruins, rotten everywhere, and it was almost impossible to tell which was the corpse and which was the garbage.The only thing that can be seen is that there is a yellow arrow under it.

"The situation is too bad. I don't know how long I've been dead. Anyway, I can't have just died." Lin Sanjiu guessed, "There are no foreign enemies in the office. Could it be something colorless and breathless like poisonous gas bacteria?"

"Then we should have been affected a long time ago." Pan Cui bent down, shook her head and said, "If there is something that kills without knowing it, and kills the first corpse not far from the door, how can we be fine? ?”

"Hmm..." Pina hesitated behind her, and let out a long sound from her nose.

"Look at the condition of this one, how does it compare with the one just now?" Lin Sanjiu raised his head and asked, "Does it look the same?"

When Pan Cui also squatted down and looked down at the corpse, there was a burst of light beating sounds from behind; Lin Sanjiu looked back and found that it was Pina, who was beating the body next to her with her nails. On the upside-down desk—her eyes only glanced at Lin Sanjiu and Pan Cui occasionally, 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 shouldn't be anything," Pina replied, her eyes still in the darkness. "You can't see anything from here, can you?"

Indeed not——Lin Sanjiu took a light with the small flashlight she handed over her key ring, and in the dim light, only saw a field of strangely shaped ruins.

Then why does she keep looking into the darkness?

Pina also seemed to sense Lin Sanjiu's doubts, and said shyly, "Well... when we clear the road again later, can you two keep your voice down?"

"Why?" Lin Sanjiu was even more confused.

Pina hesitated, as if she didn't know what to say. "You should also be able to see that I am a person with better observation skills...'Observation' is not just about seeing with the eyes, the information and changes perceived by the five senses are all indispensable things in observation. In short, I wish the noise would be quieter..."

When several people bypassed the second corpse and went forward to clear the road again, Lin Sanjiu became more careful.It’s just that it’s easy to say, but it’s 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 between the grids; all the desks, computers, and chairs seem to have taken root in the dirt and garbage, and they are moved and kicked, and the movement is hard to ignore.

Pina repeatedly reminded them several times; just as the two of them pushed away a pile of iron pipes and steel plates again, she suddenly grabbed the clothes of the two from behind and said hastily: " stop!"

"What's the matter?" Pan Cui frowned, and as soon as she asked the three words, she suddenly became startled; at the same time, the voices of the three people fell silent.

In the lingering sound that has not yet completely dissipated, they all heard - "creaking".

The sound is very high-pitched and short, as if the thing making the sound is very careful and does not want the sound to be noticed; the important thing is that it is still familiar.

Lin Sanjiu stood where she was, just like the two nearby, staring fixedly at the darkness where the sound came from; she already knew what the sound was coming from, but when she wanted to hear it again to confirm, the sound was nowhere to be seen. It didn't ring.

"Sure enough... if we don't make any noise, the sound will disappear." Under the hanging light bulb, Pina's complexion was a little pale. "Just now, I always felt that there seemed to be another voice hidden in the sound of us clearing the road..."

"Office chair." Pan Cui said in a calm voice, "It's a chair that squeaks when you sit on it after the parts get old."

Before the end came, Lin Sanjiu had a chair like this in his office.

She took the small flashlight from Pina and walked over without saying a word.

"Be careful," Pina said hastily, breathlessly.

As expected, after Lin Sanjiu crossed the road formed by the yellow arrows and stepped into the darkness, the light bulb on his head flicked on; under the dirty light bulb hanging down motionlessly, it was just The corpse sitting on the office chair.

The face hanging upside down on the edge of the chair is still embedded with two holes; the body is blocked by the chair, and the feet are hanging on the ground. It looks as if those feet stepped on the ground and pushed the chair over.

"Why... is it manipulating the chair?" Pan Cui murmured, "A fallen species? Zombie? Still alive?"

[Protective force field] has already surrounded her from head to toe, Lin Sanjiu bent down carefully, and turned the chair half a circle.The corpse was still the same as before, so bad that no clues could be seen; because they moved it when examining the corpse just now, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if the posture of the corpse had changed.

"Don't just look at me," Lin Sanjiu said without looking back, "Don't forget, your backs are facing another corpse."

As soon as the rustling sound of the two hurriedly turning around reached her ears, her hand touched the corpse's knee like lightning; the card flashed in her hand, and it immediately turned into a corpse again, and Lin Sanjiu " "Boom" and threw it back onto the chair—Pina heard the sound and immediately called out, "What's wrong?"

"I moved the corpse," Lin Sanjiu answered, and asked Teacher Yi in his mind: "How is it? Did you see it clearly?"

"See clearly," Teacher Yi's tone was full of hesitation, "but..."

[Dead body in the dungeon]

A corpse whose subcutaneous tissue has turned into dry flocks, and its internal organs have shrunk into balls like donkey dung; this corpse is like a leather tent propped up by bones. His blood, tissues, and internal organs were all turned into lumps of black mud, and the cause of death could not be seen.

"It's similar to the result of our inspection," Lin Sanjiu cursed secretly in his heart, "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 become anything else.Even if something was moving, it wasn't the body itself.

"The second one is just a corpse," Pan Cui said suspiciously, "and there is no sign of moving."

"The dungeon is scary, right?" Pina obviously wanted to guess something good, and hurriedly said: "Just go out early, don't delay, let's go."

When several people cleared the road again, they coincidentally relaxed a lot; they handled the garbage and debris as gently as crystal glass.It seemed that the sound of "creaking" didn't sound anymore because of the lack of occlusion—however, several people soon realized another thing.

On the next three arrowheads they cleared, they unearthed four more bodies.
