The waste is going to strike back

Chapter 192 The Secret Passage in the Wooden House

Yan Shaohui squatted down and looked at the corpse carefully again. Finally, he found the hand that had been pressed under the thigh by the corpse itself, and the hand was tightly holding a pistol.

"This is a KL-12. The gun body is made of special materials. The bullet is also special, made of refined iron. The head of the bullet is very distinctive. We usually call it a 'lion head' because the inventor of this weapon likes lions very much, so he carved a small lion head on the bullet head."

"When this type of bullet is fired into a target's body, it can double the size of the original wound, causing an irreparable wound. This type of gun was later banned from production, so those who can own it are generally high-ranking officials, and it is usually used as a reward to show respect."

Yan Shaohui looked at the bloody hole on his temple again, but found that this bloody hole seemed different from the wounds caused by previous pistols.

He showed it to Yan Shaohui, who suddenly realized something and clapped his hands, saying, "I know now. The bullet in his temple was shot by himself."

"The gunshot wounds on his body only caused him to lose too much blood, but were not fatal. However, as a human being who is still able to think and have ideas, and a major general with a say in the Yagura base, his dignity does not allow him to be torn apart by zombies and become their kind after his death, so he would rather end his life by himself to avoid that kind of humiliation and pain."

Yan Shaohui's expression tightened, and a bit of respect flashed in his eyes, "He is a man of integrity."

"Yes." Mu Xin nodded and sighed, "Shaohui, you should cremate him. This will be his last journey."

Although there were very few zombies where they were standing now (which was also an important reason why the corpse was preserved intact), but out of respect for life, he felt that this unknown major general should be allowed to leave in a dignified manner.

"Okay." Yan Shaohui agreed.

And where they didn't see, a man in a cloak quietly left.

After cremating the body, Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin walked into the wooden house together. Before they opened the door of the wooden house, which was so dilapidated that it would fall apart if the wind was strong enough, they smelled an extremely strong and pungent smell.

Mu Xin pinched his nose with his fingers, looking gloomy, "Why does it smell so bad here?"

Yan Shaohui also frowned and fanned the air in front of his nose with his hand, "Indeed, the smell is much stronger than when we smelled it next to the tree before."

"But we still have to go in." After all, this is the only shortcut to the Yagura base.

Mu Xin and Yan Shaohui looked at each other, and then a look of determination flashed in their eyes. The next second, Yan Shaohui raised his foot and kicked the shabby wooden door open.

The wooden door fell down with a sound, raising a large cloud of dust, blocking the view of Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin.

"Puh." Mu Xin felt that he had inhaled dust into his mouth and nose, and he coughed and spat uncomfortably.

Yan Shaohui pulled the firewood out of the door and waited until the dust settled on the ground before going back in.

"Where is the entrance to the secret passage, Shaohui?" Mu Xin adapted to the dim environment in the wooden house, looked around the house, wrinkled his nose and asked Yan Shaohui.

A nauseatingly strong stench of decay filled the entire cabin, but there was no body inside. Apart from a simple bed and a small table, the cabin was bare and had nothing in it.

"The insiders of the First Base all use a very special method to hide the secret passages." Yan Shaohui said mysteriously.

"Oh?" Mu Xin raised his eyebrows curiously.

"I'll show you."

Yan Shaohui walked to the small wooden table, squatted down, and then reached out to twist off one of the legs. And the table was still able to stand without a leg.

Yan Shaohui poked the dismantled table leg into a gap in the brick floor. It was a perfect match for the table leg and the gap.

Like a key inserted into a lock, Yan Shaohui twisted it lightly and Mu Xin heard a mechanical "click" sound. Then the ground began to vibrate, and gradually a dark entrance appeared under the wooden table.

"How amazing." Mu Xin looked at the upright table and couldn't help but poke it, "How can it still stand even though it has one leg missing?"

"Because this is the only leg of the table that can move." Yan Shaohui said with a smile, raising the table leg in his hand.

After hearing this, Mu Xin went back to look at the table. As expected, only by taking a closer look could he discover that the legs of this inconspicuous little wooden table were nailed to the ground with fine steel needles. This is why the table with one leg missing can still stand.

"Let's go." Yan Shaohui slid into the entrance of the secret passage first, and then stretched out his hand to Mu Xin. Mu Xin put his hand in Yan Shaohui's hand, and asked him to lead him into the secret passage.

The secret passage is not too narrow and can barely accommodate two people.

It seems that the spies at the Yagura base put a lot of effort into the secret passage, which can be regarded as helping them in disguised form.

There was naturally no light in the secret passage. In order to ensure smooth passage, Yan Shaohui lit a small ball of fire in the palm of his hand for lighting.

But as the two men went deeper, they both smelled a particularly strong stench of corpse.

"Do you smell it?" Mu Xin said, wrinkling his nose.

"Ah."

Yan Shaohui thought for a moment and said, "This smell is much stronger than the smell I smelled in the cabin before."

"It seems that some fierce conflict took place in the secret passage." Mu Xin guessed.

The two were talking as they walked, and Yan Shaohui was the first to notice a few black things piled on the ground in the secret passage about three meters away.

"Xiao Xin, look." Yan Shaohui pointed at those black things. His intuition told him that the stench of corpses came from these things.

However, Mu Xin couldn't see clearly what Yan Shaohui was pointing at in the dim light. Yan Shaohui had no choice but to take Mu Xin a few steps closer. Now both Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin could see clearly.

"This..." Mu Xin was so surprised by the scene before him that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

In fact, the stench they had been smelling was all coming from the half-rotten corpses that Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin found in the secret passage.

These corpses have begun to show signs of gigantism, with their skin bursting and abnormal swelling, as if they were being blown up like balloons.

The skin had an abnormal oily sheen and looked extremely disgusting.

When Yan Shaohui was serving in the army, he had a good relationship with a doctor who accompanied him. The doctor used to be a forensic doctor and he often told him about the various things he encountered when he was a forensic doctor.

Even though they were soldiers who had seen countless corpses, they were still so sick after hearing what the doctor said that they couldn't eat that night.

Therefore, Yan Shaohui felt that the shiny substance on the skin of the corpse seemed to be evenly spread with a layer of wax, which was definitely the corpse oil that the doctor had mentioned.

But even the giant view makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Mu Xin was so disgusted that he almost ran away, but fortunately his reason told him that he couldn't run.

They have come so far and are probably almost at the exit, so they can't just give up like this.

Mu Xin endured the churning in his stomach and pulled Yan Shaohui, whose facial expression also was distorted, trying to quickly pass the corpses.

But before they had taken a few steps, Yan Shaohui stopped.

"Xiao Xin, look at their necks!"

Yan Shaohui enlarged the ball of fire in the palm of his hand, making their vision clearer and allowing them to see the corpses more clearly.

On the swollen necks of these corpses, there was a deformed purple-red mark. Although the skin of the corpses had lost its original color, the mark was recognizable even to a deformed wood firewood. This mark was definitely only found in the Yagura base.

The eyes of these corpses were all protruding outwards, and some were gray. But Mu Xin and Yan Shaohui found something different.

The eyes of two or three of the corpses were the gray-green color that only zombies have!

"This... Could it be that these corpses are not only human, but also zombies?" Mu Xin curled the corner of his mouth.

"What on earth is Ming Xiche doing?" He was becoming more and more confused about this person.

Both the major general who was cremated before and the bodies found in the secret passage were from the Yagura base.

Since they all belong to the same place, why would they kill each other?

He thought this mark only appeared on zombies, but now even humans have this mark on the back of their necks. Mu Xin always felt that the meaning behind this discovery was extraordinary.

But he seemed to have walked into a fog and could not find the real answer no matter what. Every time he thought he was getting close to the truth, he found that what was waiting for him was a thicker fog.

"No matter what, let's go to the base first and see what we can find." Yan Shaohui was naturally frowning, but he believed that the answers to all the questions would slowly surface after they entered the base.

One day he will find out the purpose of Ming Xiche and the manipulator behind him!
