Chapter 301

It looked completely out of place with the weather here.

However, not long after digging, a withered hand appeared before everyone's eyes.

Old Cheng was so scared he kept retreating; he had never seen such a scene.

Captain Wang couldn't stand still on the spot, took a deep breath, and walked up to observe carefully under the hot sun.

Apart from the thick cotton-padded coat, this was the only exposed part.

This hand was like a withered tree, wrinkled and without a trace of moisture.

The finger joints on it were clearly visible, looking like skin and bones.

Captain Wang looked up at Fang Yang: "Did you see anything?"

Fang Yang shook his head: "Not sure, let's dig it out first!"

"Hmm!"

Buzz buzz~~

The scene was very quiet, and only the sound of machinery operating could be heard.

Everyone didn't dare to breathe, staring at the ground with solemn expressions.

Soon, a pair of withered calves were exposed before everyone, and the feet were still wearing a pair of worn-out cotton shoes.

From the exposed part of the calves, one could see that the leg bones were also wrinkled like old tree roots, also skin and bones.

This eerie phenomenon made everyone's scalp tingle.

If you say it's a corpse, it indeed is.

But how can a corpse be like this? It seems to be a mummy.

Clearly, it was unknown how long it had been dead.

The strangest thing was its clothing; it didn't look like modern clothes no matter how you looked at it.

Originally, Captain Wang thought he had discovered a murder case, but now looking at it again, it seemed like he had discovered an archaeological site.

As the excavator continued to dig.

When the complete human shape appeared before everyone's eyes, everyone was stunned.

This was actually a complete mummy, and the head wasn't completely skin and bones; there was still a hint of fullness.

It was just still wrinkled, and even the beard on the corners of the mouth could be clearly seen.

The clothes were covered in mud, and the whole body was wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes. If you looked from a distance, you would think someone was lying in the sand; you couldn't tell it was a dead person at all.

The most curious thing was that its hair was still tied in a long braid.

Judging from the appearance and attire, this person looked like a man.

Combined with the long braid, everyone thought of a dynasty: the Qing Dynasty!

Fang Yang was also numb; he never expected to dig up a Qing Dynasty mummy in this place.

The cameraman had been with Fang Yang for a long time and wasn't that scared anymore, instead asking suspiciously: "Brother, isn't it said that corpses rot quickly in summer? Why do I feel like this corpse hasn't rotted, and even has flesh? It feels like a mummy from abroad!"

Old Cheng also nodded quickly: "Looking at this attire, this person should have been dead for many years. Why hasn't it turned into white bones after so long!"

After Fang Yang jumped out of the car and walked over, the system panel followed closely behind.

However, the next second, his expression shook, looking like he had seen a ghost.

Immediately after, he walked to the head of the mummy to observe carefully, and after confirming the answer, he spoke slowly.

"Speaking of corpses that don't rot, what we often see on TV, there are only two types of creatures: one is a zombie, and the other is a mummy."

"Wanting to become a mummy is very complicated. The first type is artificial production, which is putting antiseptic spices and the corpse together and sealing it. After a long period of fusion, the corpse shrivels and eventually becomes a mummy."

"The second method is natural formation. In a specific environment, the moisture in the corpse is completely evaporated, and it naturally becomes a mummy."

"You were right just now; corpses do rot quickly in hot weather. That's because bacteria, fungi, and other substances can quickly multiply and cause the corpse to accelerate decay!"

"But you all think about what kind of place this is. It's known as Flaming Mountain, with surface temperatures constantly above 50 degrees. Old Cheng also said before that the temperature can reach 90 degrees at its peak. I don't need to say how terrifying such a high temperature is!"

"In such an environment, not only can people not stand it, but bacteria, fungi, and other substances can't stand it even more. Without the environment they rely on to survive, the bacterial substances in the corpse buried in this place will naturally die."

"That's why these corpses can remain unrotted for hundreds of years. Plus the addition of such high temperatures for so many years, the moisture in the corpse was completely evaporated, which is why we have the mummy we see now!"

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1.

——【A Qing Dynasty case discovered by modern people—does this count as having passed the permanent statute of limitations? I don't know if the police will open a case. Looking at how it was buried, it's like it was just dumped on the ground by someone, without even a coffin. Nine times out of ten, it's murder and body disposal.】

——【The value of this mummy is very high! A person from the Qing Dynasty wearing the clothes of that time is presented to the world. I'm wondering, it must have been winter when he died, right? These clothes are layered three times inside and three times outside, wrapped tightly. Isn't it uncomfortable to wear?】

——【I'm also an excavator driver. If I dug this up, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to work for a month. I really admire these people; they are so bold. Aren't they afraid that this dead person will suddenly jump up and take a bite out of each of them?】

——【Good lord, it looks like this scenic spot hasn't even started yet and is probably going to close down. A moment of silence for Old Cheng for three seconds. Out of everyone, he had to call Fang Yang to dig.】

After listening to Fang Yang's explanation, everyone couldn't help but marvel; nature is truly a master of craftsmanship.

Humans have to spend a lot of effort to make a mummy, but just burying it in the ground like this can also form one.

However, the next second, Fang Yang's words directly scared them silly.

"Look carefully at the neck of this mummy; are there two rows of deep tooth marks!"

Captain Wang was the first to squat down and observe carefully.

Sure enough, he saw two rows of tooth marks on the neck.

Even after so many years, even though the corpse had shriveled.

But these tooth marks were still clearly visible. One could imagine how deep these tooth marks must have been when it was alive.

The cameraman was a bit panicked and asked weakly: "Brother, what... what does it mean? You don't mean to tell me he was bitten to death by something, do you!"

After a second of pause, Fang Yang nodded solemnly.

"Oh my god!!"

The cameraman was so scared he kept retreating.

Old Cheng was also scared, and both of their faces were a bit panicked.

"Could it be something unclean?"

"What a sin, why did I have to pick this place to dig!"

"Think on the bright side, it wouldn't have mattered if you changed places!"

Old Cheng: "...."

Everyone: "..."

Fang Yang glanced at him but didn't refute, instead looking at Captain Wang and saying slowly: "I suspect there is something else below. I felt it when I was digging just now!"

As soon as these words came out, the few people behind were scared quite a bit.

They couldn't help but take a few steps back, their throats swallowing saliva non-stop.

If they weren't unable to leave, they would have run away long ago.

Fang Yang climbed into the cab and continued digging, while Captain Wang made a call to the archaeological team.

The bucket started digging below the mummy just now.

As a result, the first scoop clearly felt that it couldn't dig through. There was no sound, but it felt completely different from the mummy just now.

(Brothers who cast recommendation votes, don't waste your money. The plot is limited, and even if you spend money, I can't speed up. I feel very sorry, thank you.)

169. Really dug up a zombie! Scared to death! (Please subscribe)

The bucket only dug down less than ten centimeters before it encountered strong resistance.

Fang Yang had felt that there seemed to be something hard below when he was digging before.

Ever since he saw the tooth marks on the mummy's neck, he was even more certain of this idea.

When he raised the bucket again and dug down from the side, a sound suddenly came out.

Clang~~

This left Fang Yang dumbfounded!

There was no sound when he went down just now, but now there was, and the sound sounded like stone.

The few people next to him were stunned!

Old Cheng's scalp was tingling with fear: "There really is something! This is too eerie."

The others stared without blinking, and the young police officer was a bit nervous.

Both curious and a bit scared.

Fang Yang tried several times, and each time the bucket was blocked by something as soon as it went down.

Sometimes it would make a sound, and sometimes it wouldn't.

This left him a bit confused, completely unaware of what it was.
