Chapter 898 Habits
Considering that life-saving equipment such as backpacks and tents were still left in the camp, Jiang Cheng glanced at Huai Yi, who consciously said that he was tired and stayed to guard the camp.
Jiang Cheng and the others walked for a long time, and finally found another group of people behind a huge rock.
Everyone gathered around, their expressions were surprisingly bad.
Seeing Jiangcheng Gongsun Zhiruo approaching, Zigui and the others moved away. A horrifying scene suddenly appeared in front of them, and the fat man couldn't help but froze.
Clinging to the rock, there was a miserable corpse. Judging from the remaining clothes, it was none other than Chanli.
But...
"Where is her head?" Gongsun Zhiruo raised his head, his eyes filled with shock and fear. There was not much flesh and blood left on the body, but the bones were relatively complete, except for Head is missing.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan stared at the skeleton and shook his head, "I don't know, it was like this when we arrived."
"We searched nearby but couldn't find her head." Gui looked away from the skeleton, a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Her head was taken away," Jiang Cheng said.
This is an obvious question. As for why, they still don't know.
"My son and daughter-in-law looked like this when they died, but they were... worse than her. Not only were their bodies missing meat, but their bones were also broken." Shang Mo said tremblingly.
“What about their heads?” Zhou Yuxuan asked.
"Their heads also disappeared. The police said they searched the house but couldn't find them." Shang Mo recalled the original scene, his face was very ugly, and it could be seen that he was suppressing great pain. pain.
It seems that this starving ghost has the habit of taking away the heads after killing people.
The skeleton barely took on a human shape, and the exposed spine was twisted, giving the impression that it had gone through a painful struggle before death. One of the two arms was straightened and the other was bent, as if it was crawling with strength.
Following the skeleton’s arms is their camp.
Everyone felt unspeakably depressed. It seemed that even at the last second of her life, the poor girl did not give up hope of survival. She was still trying her best to crawl towards the camp, hoping that someone could save her. she.
But the mission is not a movie after all, and not all efforts will be rewarded in the end. For most people in the mission, if they make a wrong step, death is the only thing waiting for them.
In the last mission, if Wu hadn't blocked the killer's ax for him, he would have died.
"What is this?" The fat man had sharp eyes and noticed that the corpse's right hand was slightly clenched, and there was a faint hint of yellow leaking from the bloody hand.
Jiang Cheng walked up, squatted next to the skeleton, and pulled up the right hand of the skeleton without hesitation. Before he could exert any force, there was a crisp "click" sound, and the hand was severed from the wrist.
The fat man's heart tightened, and he quickly apologized to Chanli for the doctor in his heart.
“Crack.”
"Crack."
......
No one could have imagined how much strength Chanli used before she died, clenching her fists so tightly that Jiang Cheng removed her fists again. It took a few fingers to pull out what was inside.
It is a small piece of yellow cloth. The texture is very special, as if it was torn from a whole piece of cloth, and it is very worn.
After Jiang Cheng looked at it for a while, he slowly put his nose up. Suddenly, a stench choked him back.
"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Zigui asked concernedly.
"It's okay." Jiang Cheng slowly stood up and showed the cloth to them, "This piece of cloth should have been torn off by Chanli from the thing that killed her before she died. There are many traces on it. Strong corpse odor "
"The smell of corpses..." Zhou Yuxuan came up with a strange expression and sniffed slightly. In the next second, his expression changed drastically, and he took three or four steps back, almost lying on his back. Fell in the snow.
Zhou Yuxuan’s performance dispelled the idea of others wanting to get closer and have a sniff.
Gongsun Zhiruo stared at the cloth in Jiang Cheng's hand and asked, "So Chanli was killed by a corpse... no, no, a ghost in yellow clothes?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "It's possible." After saying that, he didn't care about other people's eyes. He found a piece of clothing from the ground, wrapped the smelly piece of cloth, and stuffed it into his coat pocket.
It was impossible and pointless to take away the remains of his teammates, so everyone buried Cicada with snow, paid their respects briefly, and returned to the camp.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wang." Zigui came to them on the way back and said, "Lu Yu and Chanli have a very good relationship. Can you not tell her about Chanli's appearance when she died? It’s too detailed, I’m worried that Lu Yu won’t be able to accept it.”
“Okay,” Jiang Cheng agreed.
The person who was most affected by Ke Chanli's death was not Lu Yu, but Shang Mo. When the hunchbacked old man saw Chanli's tragic situation, he seemed to have entered a state of confusion and fear. , lowered his head, kept muttering something, and didn't even know when someone walked up to him.
Zhou Yuxuan was walking beside him and heard Shang Mo repeating the four words "What a fool!"
I can’t say why, but he shivered suddenly, and then immediately looked around. It was as if in an instant, he was locked by a cold and stiff gaze, surrounding him.
After returning to the camp, everyone packed up their backpacks and continued moving forward. The snowstorm stopped after dawn.
To be honest, the weather is not bad now, but Chanli's death is like a haze hanging over everyone's heads, giving the entire team a sad tone.
The fat man looked at Lu Yu with slightly pitiful eyes. After learning about the death of her friend, this young girl controlled her emotions in a short time, and then wiped away her tears. , pick up your backpack and move on.
Looking at the little back, Fatty seemed to see a familiar shadow again.
Jiang Cheng had educated him a long time ago, saying that only the absolute weak would be sentimental and that a man should have a heart as strong as steel.
This is rare. He thinks that what the doctor said is not completely right, because the doctor is also a sensitive person at heart, but the doctor is used to wrapping himself up with a cold and hard shell.
The scenery of Gawuzhangde Snow Mountain is very beautiful. The vast white sea of snow and the rugged mountains in the distance form a spectacular scene that is rarely seen in the city.
The cold air is breathed into the lungs, giving people a refreshing feeling that penetrates the heart.
Everyone couldn't help but want to shout to the snowy mountains and the empty snowfields. Human power was as insignificant as dust in front of the power of nature.
This can’t help but remind everyone of their current situation.
To a certain extent, the power of ghosts and gods is the same as the power of nature. They are definitely beyond their ability to compete. The disciples are the outliers. They can use the power of the door to outlast ordinary people in dangerous situations. One more chance of survival, but the price is the curse of the door. Once it is completely eroded, it will become a nightmare for others. (End of this chapter)
