Chapter 528 Light
On the morning after autumn, there is a desolate and withered smell in the air.
The yellowing autumn leaves slowly drifted in from outside the wall, bringing a cool feeling.
Yu Guo stepped into the courtyard again, only relaxed for a few seconds, and no longer dared to greedily suck in the air.
"Find the source of the ruin."
At this time, there were only two and a half minutes left before the half-hour period agreed by Ji Li.
At the same time, the entire villa began to wither rapidly.
The walls of the entire villa fell into darkness, and the white courtyard wall skin also peeled off.
The fallen leaves rolled up by the autumn wind on the ground are overwhelming and captivating to the eye.
A piece of wood fell from the top of the villa and broke into several pieces on the ground, indicating that the place had reached the extreme level of decay.
The current villa is completely different from the scene when I first came here.
All this comes from the corpse of Eucalyptus nigra.
Yu Guo and Zhan Xun walked deeper into the courtyard, and the further they went in, the more dilapidated it became.
Even every stone brick that Zhan Xun stepped on would shatter.
This is the backyard of the villa. The area is much wider than the front yard, but it is also extremely messy.
This is a garden-like existence, and the vines, flowers, and trees that normally grow have all turned into cool gray and black colors.
As Yu Guo and Zhan Xun entered, the cold wind caused these dry branches and leaves to rustle and fall one after another.
This path paved with stone bricks goes all the way inward.
After walking through a corridor composed of trees, vines and flowers, a circular flower bed appeared in front of them.
The flower bed is the center of the entire backyard, and it is also the place with the strongest atmosphere of dilapidation.
The surrounding plants were all in a state of dying or dead.
The dead vines on the ground were like black lines, connecting every corner of the backyard, bringing the air of death to all places.
What is surprising is that this flower bed of more than ten square meters is covered with countless red flowers.
The flowers bloomed extremely luxuriantly, with bright red colors, crowded together and competing to bloom.
What's even more bizarre is that the pedicel of each flower is made up of two entwined stems, and one flower comes out of the two stems.
Yu Guo thought about it in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't recognize what kind of flower it was.
Zhanxun didn't think too much about the flowers, but he knew very well that once he got here, things would be almost over.
"How about it? Dig it?"
Yu Guo nodded heavily, took off his coat and shirt, and gave one to Zhan Xun.
The two of them wrapped their hands in clothes, rushed to the flower bed, and pulled out all the red flowers from the soil one by one.
For a time, the petals, stamens and stems were completely destroyed and scattered in all directions.
Many petals were trampled into the soil, leaving a large pool of blood behind.
Yu Guo and Zhan Xun were each responsible for a half area and excavated separately.
Time is already too tight.
Now only the last minute and a half remains.
The two of them didn't care about any method at this time. They used their four hands and four legs, in short, everything that could be used on their bodies.
Finally, half a minute later, Zhanxun's hand touched a hard object.
He quickly took off his clothes and reached into the soil with his bloody hands to touch tentatively.
The hard object is very smooth, like a round object, and grooves appear when you touch it further.
"Could it be a human skull?"
Touching this thing, Zhanxun was not afraid, but very excited.
"Brother Yu, come on, I found the body of Eucalyptus nigra!"
Contrary to Zhan Xun, Yu Guo's face did not show much excitement. He knew very well that even if the body was found, it might not be solved so easily.
After having the target, the two men worked together to dig, and soon the body of the black gum was exposed to the air.
But this time, the two of them looked at the corpse, but subconsciously took a few steps away because the corpse was too weird.
A slender skeleton is connected in series with each other, like a living person, with muscles and blood connected and not separated.
This is the decayed body of Eucalyptus nigricans.
But behind this skeleton, there is actually a smaller skeleton attached.
Unlike the bones of the black gum carcass, the small skeleton is extremely soft and is only about the size of an adult's palm.
It is as unpleasant as a large blood clot attached to an adult corpse.
There was a hint of fear in Yu Guo's eyes, and he slowly said:
"It turns out that Ren Jiayun's body is also here!"
A baby that was not yet fully developed was killed by the black gum Eucalyptus. A pair of hard bones and a pair of cartilage, closely connected.
This may represent the origin of the ghost Eucalyptus nigra, which is one body and has two souls.
"The road to survival...the road to survival seems to be changing..."
After realizing the connection between one body, two lives and one body, two souls, Zhan Xun suddenly felt that what they had to do was not just destroy the body of Black Gum.
Instead, the skeletons of the mother and son were completely separated.
Yu Guo took a deep breath. He could feel that the body of the black gum was not scary.
What really frightened him was the adhering cartilage behind it.
If you want to separate the two, you will most likely face even more terrible things.
But now, he could no longer waste time. As soon as Zhanxun finished speaking, he rushed out.
Yu Guo's hands pressed on the arm and cartilage of the black gum corpse at the same time, using all his strength to separate it.
But as soon as he put his hands on it, a cold air that penetrated his heart and lungs flowed down his arms and towards his body.
Yu Guo screamed, feeling the cold air crawling up every inch of his body, causing him to lose control of his body.
He opened his eyes in pain and saw that the cartilage he was pressing on with his right hand looked like a wriggling mass of flesh crawling up his arm.
With every step it climbed up, its bones became transparent, and part of it was melting into Yu Guo's body.
Yu Guo, who had no ability to resist, could only watch this scene helplessly and had no choice at all.
At this time, Zhan Xun's footsteps sounded from behind, allowing Yu Guo to regain his clarity for a moment.
He lowered his voice and roared:
"Don't come near me!
Once you intervene, you will be in the same situation as me, and both of you will die.
Brother Zhan, wait a minute...
When the cartilage is completely on my body, you can destroy the body of the black gum. ”
Zhan Xun's face was gloomy and uncertain. Standing behind Yu Guo and listening to his words and his pain, it felt like a knife twisting his heart.
He knew that once he followed Yu Guo's ideas.
Maybe he, Ji Li, Clyde, and Huang Banxian can survive.
But Yu Guo will fall at the last moment before the mission is successful.
Tick, tick...
The hands of the watch were moving rigidly toward the last minute.
At this moment, Zhan Xun's heart became extremely calm, and he slowly raised his hands.
The top was half soil and half blood. After a long period of torture, he had become less human and less ghostly.
After a moment, he looked at Yu Guo, with a self-deprecating smile on his face.
He didn't heed Yu Guo's warning and rushed over.
When the cartilage was about to penetrate into Yu Guo's body, his broad palm pulled it out fiercely.
At this moment, the cartilage was like a drill bit, trying desperately to drill in when it felt the flesh and blood of a living person.
Zhan Xun roared in pain, and then ran back quickly, getting as far away from Yu Guo as possible.
His body was eating away at the cartilage crazily, and he just ran back a few steps before he no longer had the strength to stand up.
But at the moment of dying, he still raised his head and shouted decisively to Yu Guo:
"Brother! Stay alive and wait until the winter solstice to meet your fiancée!"
"Bang!"
In the black gum body, the place where the human skull connected with the cervical vertebrae was crushed by Yu Guo's foot.
The sharp bone spur penetrated Yu Guo's sole, causing him to fall weakly from the flower bed to the ground.
it's all over.
After fighting for so long and killing so many people, it was finally over.
Yu Guo crawled forward tremblingly, looking at the dead body with painful regret on his face.
If he could be less impatient, if he could think more about the characteristics of the two corpses, maybe he wouldn't end up like this.
When everything was over, the dark villa courtyard was finally covered by sunlight.
The light illuminated Zhan Xun's face that died with determination, like a baptism and blessing.
But the reality is completely opposite.
Zhan Xun died just before the light came.
