The Mysterious Morgue 2

  "What?" This was almost everyone's simultaneous question, and in the following time, the four people who were squatting started to confer.

  "I think we should leave this place. There's only one old man on duty here, and suddenly seven people in white coats appear out of nowhere?"

  "This is too eerie, let's retreat?"

  When others were talking nonsense, the leader Xue Zong stretched out his hand to signal them to stop, then said in a low voice: "Shut up, what are you all talking about? Let me tell you, we're all screws of socialism. Wherever we're screwed in is decided by the organization. If they say east, you can't go west. Whoever dares to retreat, I'll deduct half their food allowance this month."

  Da Ge Zi is called Xue Zong, over 20 years old, is the sworn brother of Lou Hongjun, and also a squad leader under his command, always following Lou Hongjun's side.

  This kid is bold, previously followed Lou Hongjun to blow up the stone gate of the grand tomb, and fortunately, Lou Hongjun usually had a good relationship with him, at the critical moment this guy did not drop the chain.

  However, he is also uncertain in his heart at the moment. In other words, he would rather die with dignity than live in misery. He also knows that something unusual has happened outside, but as a soldier, he must follow orders from above without any hesitation.

  "In his words: 'Don't forget that we are all soldiers, atheists, and we all have the mission of defending our homes and country. If we retreat now, it means we're cowards. I don't plan on recognizing this word "coward" for the rest of my life.'"

  "It's not that we're afraid, going up Knife Mountain and down the Sea of Fire, a few brothers aren't scared, at least that's dealing with people! But it's not like that now!" The speaker was Lin Shan, a new recruit, a bit sly, full of clever ideas. He had just arrived in Shaanxi and received such a daunting task, originally thinking he could complete it smoothly, but didn't expect this outcome.

  Xue Zong was afraid that Lin Shan's doubts would make others even more fearful, so he put himself out there and boldly proposed: "This way, we'll follow them and see where those bastards are going. We won't touch him, just in case we can't take it. This way, we won't be accused of deserting the battlefield, and we can also get a thorough execution commendation. Time is of the essence, now everyone follow me! Who dares to say anything about running away with their tails between their legs? I'll kill them directly!"

  At that time, the soldiers were not as strictly controlled as they are now. They basically all had guns and a small amount of ammunition in their hands, so what Xue said about being shot dead was not an exaggeration. He led the way out of the ambush point, and only then did the others hug their rifles tightly and follow him out.

  The corridor was only over thirty meters long, but for these mentally intimidated people, it was like a Long March of ten thousand miles. They needed to muster up the courage to take every step forward, constantly telling themselves that they must not fall behind and must believe in their comrades.

  When he was less than ten meters away from those six people, Xue suddenly felt the temperature of the air around him drop sharply, and his mouth could breathe out white air.

  At this time, he subconsciously looked forward and saw that the six people on both sides suddenly had a few tall men, originally one more person or one less person was nothing to say, but it was precisely these tall men who were a bit unusual.

  Rather than saying they were tall, it would be better to say that they resembled several pillars, their heads almost touching the ceiling. In addition, these people were all wearing clothes made of colorful silk fabrics, a type of attire that Xue Zong was not unfamiliar with, as it was used for dressing the dead. Seeing this, he did not take another step forward, and at this point, he could no longer determine whether taking another step forward would be safe.

  Suddenly, a pleasant bell sound came from the darkness in the distance, and then a voice was heard: "Get on the road, get on the road. The Netherworld borrows the way, the living avoid it."

  Upon hearing this sentence, Lin Shan suddenly whispered in doubt: "Corpse driving?"

  As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of a bell falling to the ground came from the darkness in the distance. Immediately afterwards, the walls around them were covered with frost from far to near. In the blink of an eye, more than ten pillar-like people stood in front of Mr. Xue and others, their pale bloodless faces like masks tightly attached to everyone's body present.
