C68 (2/2)

”Those are poisonous bugs that rely solely on drinking the blood of corpses to survive. Of course, if they had fresh blood, they would prefer …”

When he heard the name ”Undead Alligator” again, the boss immediately became excited and started questioning Xu Man.

I'm already used to seeing this big brute character of mine. Even though there was still lingering fear from the experience just now, I still wanted to know what happened while we were trapped in the crematorium, so I directly asked Zhang Zikong about it.

In his own words, he was also surprised to see the blood of the dead wriggling out of the ground, and he forced them back into the ground by direct anarchy, only to discover the chimney of the crematorium hidden in the trunk of the tree.

Then, following my instructions, he found the pit and entered the underground works through the tunnel. Unfortunately, the passageway underneath was too complicated, and he needed time to find the room where the crematorium was kept. Not long after he entered the underground fortifications, large numbers of corpse and blood began to appear.

In order to save energy to take us out, he had no choice but to flee.

Fortunately, Xu Man had arrived in time with his men. Moreover, he had used a solid alcohol to disperse the blood and flesh of the corpses. This prevented him from using the Purple Gold Whip to protect himself.

However, during their search, they accidentally discovered a gunpowder warehouse left behind by the Japanese. What was even more unexpected was that someone accidentally spilled solid alcohol on those ammunition! An explosion followed.

Although there weren't many ammunition in the magazine and they weren't powerful, they still caused quite a big landslide. Plus, the underground structure was originally empty, so we naturally fell down.

As Zhang Zi Kong told me what had happened, Xu Man added more firewood to the fire, but the firewood made people feel that it was a bit eye-catching!

Because those firewood looked like coffins!

The heck, could it be that the place where we fell is the tomb recorded in Old Miao's booklet? That's not right! How could there be such a large river in the ancient tomb? Furthermore, the place we are at right now is around twenty square meters. Where did they get that coffin for the fire?

Seeing that my expression was not normal, Zhang Zi Kong directly patted my shoulder, ”It's alright. Although I do not know where we are now, but there should be an exit at the top of this river.”

”How can you be so sure that there will be an exit at the upper end of the river?”

Hearing my words, Zhang Zi Kong didn't directly answer and just looked at the river from afar. After a long time, he pointed at something floating in the river and said to me, ”Do you see that thing? It's a coffin. What we burned just now was a coffin salvaged from the river. ”

Now that he said it, I somewhat understood.

In some places, the custom was to bury a coffin in water in a different way, and it was the first time I had ever seen a coffin being thrown into the water so that it could float away on its own.

The moment the coffin appeared in our sight, one of Xu Man's men immediately swam towards it. But not long after, he swam back and said, ”Boss, the corpse in the coffin is a woman again, and also a big belly. If that were the case, the firewood we used to burn it with would soon be gone.”

”Which coffin is this?”

”It's already the sixth.”

Listening to their conversation, I couldn't help but frown.

What was going on? The bodies in the six coffins were all women? And they even had big stomachs? Where would so many people die in a day? And they were pregnant!?
