Deep in the Living

Chapter 10 Collecting the Corpse
【Mansion Lobby】

Four people wearing cleaning gloves and masks were packing up all the rotten food and throwing it out of the mansion.

Rinse the ground with clean water as much as possible to at least reduce the odor inside the house. As for the problem in the backyard, find a way to deal with it later.

After cleaning the mourning hall, the four continued to divide the work and paste a device called "strip wall lamp" all over the house.

This lamp is flat and long and can be attached to the ceiling or wall. It is equipped with advanced battery technology and can emit light continuously for a week without charging.

This ensures that there is sufficient light during practice, even if the lantern is destroyed.

The whole process took more than three hours, during which time everything was normal in the mansion and nothing unusual was heard or seen.

【Second floor - master bedroom】

Everyone gathered here temporarily, wiping the sweat from their foreheads with tissues, and discussing the most difficult and suspicious backyard area.

Even now, recalling the smell of the backyard, Anna still felt a pang in her stomach.

A rough estimate is that there were at least thirty pigs and cows piled up in the backyard, and they were basically in a state of giantism.

If they were dragged one by one to the mountains and buried, it would be too physically demanding and time-consuming, and there might be some highly contagious pathogens among the corpses.

But if left in the backyard and not dealt with, these bodies might become associated with some evil ritual.

Of course, the most important thing is the four human corpses hanging on the trees.

Luo Di, who often watched horror movies, used divergent thinking to come up with a terrifying conjecture.

The food in the mourning hall was for the foreign guests, while the pigs and cows scattered in the backyard were for the owner of the tree.

Perhaps at some point in time, the owner of the tree will be resurrected.

Thinking of this,

Deputy monitor Gao, who was leaning against the curved wall, gave his opinion, "Burn it, including the tree in the backyard. This will not only remove the smell but also eliminate the danger."

This idea coincided with Rody's. Now it seemed that burning was indeed the best method.

However, how to burn it is another problem.

The monitor tapped his chin with his fingers, carefully recalling the relevant knowledge in the cultural class, "Most of these animal carcasses have already become gigantic, and everyone has experienced the concentration of the smell in the entire backyard. If we burn them carelessly, they may explode.

It would be better to drag these bodies to the mountains and find a slope to throw them down."

Luo Di, who was standing at the head of the bed, took the initiative to speak, "Don't burn the animal carcasses, just burn the four people on the tree."

The squad leader immediately asked, "How do we burn it? It's dangerous to burn the tree directly. The methane concentration in the entire backyard is probably higher than the explosion value... If things go wrong, the whole mansion will be blown up."

"It is to move it out and burn it. Move the body to the open space outside the mansion, dig a shallow pit, pile up enough firewood, and cremate it on the spot."

The squad leader nodded. "That's a good idea. Why don't we divide the work in pairs? Anna, you and Luo Di will be responsible for preparing the firewood for the burning, and Xiao Gao and I will carry the bodies."

"Great!"

When Anna heard that she didn't have to go to the smelly backyard, she turned around and hugged the squad leader who assigned the task tightly, with such force that it felt like she was about to suffocate.

Gao Yuxuan objected, "No, I think four people must act.

The body hanging in the backyard is very suspicious, and it may be dangerous to move it. Let's go directly to the backyard and move the body outside the mansion before burning it. "

After breaking free from Anna's restraints, the monitor pounded his fist into his palm, "Well, it's decided happily! Let's go, everyone put on your masks. There are four of us here, so it's just right for each of us to carry one.

By the way, take our sleeping bags with you, which can be used to store corpses and isolate possible infectious diseases. Anyway, we have found a room to sleep in."

Anna, who just thought she didn't have to go to the backyard, started retching again and put on four layers of masks.

【backyard】

The corpses of pigs and cows formed winding paths here, and the paths were filled with all kinds of filth flowing out of the rotting corpses.
A large number of flies are participating in the feast here, dancing, spinning and feasting.

Perhaps it was because of the initial baptism, but this time faced with such a "magnificent" scene, everyone managed to hold on.

The raincoat wrapped around the body,
Put on gloves,

The shoes were also completely covered with plastic bags.
"Let's go~"

Bang!

Luo Di was the first to walk, and the squad leader quickly followed.

She felt somewhat uncomfortable when she stepped on the soft, sticky surface of the fluid.

"Roddy, you don't seem to be affected at all? We haven't received this kind of training in school."

"I often cook at home. When I have time, I go to the market and help kill some poultry. I have also participated in killing pigs occasionally. Compared with here, the taste is just slightly lighter, not much different."

The monitor did not doubt such words, but shifted his attention to another thing, "Wow, you can actually cook? If you can pass this time, can I taste your cooking skills?"

"No."

The monitor's eyes changed slightly, and he changed the subject again, "It may be dangerous to retrieve the body later, so be careful."

"Ah."

The four of them stepped on the filth and finally arrived at the locust tree in the center of the courtyard.

I don’t know if it’s because of the long-term absorption of filth, but the surface of the locust tree’s trunk is actually covered with fine holes, and the gloomy wind surrounding the entire mansion is overflowing from the holes.

It's so crowded that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

The four bodies hanging there seemed to be the owner of the mansion, his wife, and their son and daughter.

The height of hanging is also very particular.

The old man who was suspected to be the head of the family was hung at the top and was the most rotten.
Middle-aged women, secondly,

Two young men and women were at the bottom, and the giants appeared for the first time. They must have arranged everything in the house before hanging themselves.
Roddy also noticed something strange about this family, especially the old man who was hanging at the top and had been dead the longest. There were a lot of black spots on the surface of his nails, and some were even completely black and long.

It gives people the feeling that nails continue to grow after death.

Then there was another problem.
[How to get the corpse above? ]

The bodies of the two young men and the middle-aged woman were successfully removed. There was no change to the bodies when the ropes were cut or they were put into body bags.

The entire backyard was still stinking, with no other changes.

The next step is to take down the body of the old man at the top.
No choice but to climb a tree.

Instead, Rody once again cooperated with Anna, stepping on the other's shoulders to just reach the position where the old man was hanging.
Waving the machete in his hand~swish!
Cut the hemp rope.

The old man's body, which had lost its balance, fell downward, almost vertically against Rody's body. Somehow, perhaps sensing the danger instinctively, Rody subconsciously moved his legs and stepped back.

Because he was stepping on Anna's shoulders, this step back caused him to fall backwards.

The expected collision with the ground did not occur.
Rody, who was protecting his head with his hands, was a little dazed. He could clearly feel two strong arms touching his back and thighs, supporting him firmly.

Anna reacted quickly. She turned around and reached out her hand almost at the moment when the opponent missed his step, and just caught Rody.

Luo Di was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he was surprised that a high school student could easily catch him who weighed 80 kg. This further improved his evaluation of this foreign student from another school.

The squad leader and Gao Yuxuan quickly packed up the bodies.
"Hey~ How long are you going to hug each other? Be careful you get caught and taken to the Academic Affairs Office for a lecture!"

The monitor gave a weird smile and used the camera mode of his wristband to record the scene as one of the memories of this practice.
