Deep in the Living

Chapter 11 Special Treatment
Collecting and transferring corpses,
The whole process is still normal.

The four bodies stayed obediently in the sleeping bags, quietly waiting to be burned.

In fact, in addition to the corpse, everyone is also concerned about the strange locust tree in the backyard. It would be best if they could burn it together, but unfortunately burning in the backyard is too dangerous.

Even if we find a way to burn it at a distance, if an explosion causes the fire to spread, the entire mountain will be engulfed in flames.

At that time, everyone will be forced to leave, which is equivalent to leaving the practice area and being considered a failure.

We can only burn the body first, and then consider what to do with the tree later, either cutting it with an electric saw or chopping it down with an axe. I think that should be possible.

[Outside the residence]

A relatively flat ground.

Digging pits and felling trees will be carried out simultaneously in pairs.
Gao Yuxuan stared at the four body bags, and his mind was already connected with the knowledge points learned in the cultural courses.

"Let me collect the firewood. For burning this kind of Yin corpse, it is best to use the 'lychee wood' which has the strongest Yang energy. I saw a lot of it when I went up the mountain before."

The monitor patted Luo Di on the shoulder and said, "Then you two boys can go cut down trees. Luo Di has an electric saw, which is efficient enough. You two sisters can take care of digging holes.

If there is any movement from the corpse here, we will call for help. Please don't go too far to cut wood."

Anna also found two rusty shovels from the mansion and lent her tactical axe to Gao Yuxuan for logging.

Division of labor completed.

Under Gao Yuxuan's guidance, they quickly found the so-called lychee wood. It must be said that the efficiency of logging with modern electric saw technology is amazing, and it is easy to cut down a tree that is about the size of a hug for two people.

All that remained was to drag the tree back and cut it into thin strips that were easy to burn.

While the two were dragging the tree back,

Luo Di also took the initiative to speak. He wanted to find out something related to practice from Gao Yuxuan, who ranked first in cultural subjects.

"Deputy class, have you guessed anything yet?"

"Nine out of ten~ the ancient Chinese house, the corpses under the locust tree... If we leave these corpses alone, they will most likely turn into [zombies] tonight. Four at once, even if they are just simulating abnormalities, it will be difficult for us to deal with them.

We may also be infected with corpse poison, which will cause problems in our subsequent life and studies.

It would be best to burn it quickly, and the locust tree in the backyard is best..."

"Saw it off." Rody added.

"That's right~ I'll go after I finish burning it."

The two seemed to have formed a simple tacit understanding.

But when they dragged the trees back to the open space in front of the mansion, the digging work was still in progress.

The short-sleeved shirts worn by the two girls were almost soaked with sweat, adding a unique summer scene.

But Rody's focus was not on them, but on the actions of the two.

Both of them were very strong, especially Anna, who seemed to have no place to vent her brute force. However, her actual efficiency in shoveling the earth was very low, as digging was obviously not involved in her daily training.

Rody stepped forward and asked, "Do you have any extra shovels?"

"Just these two."

"Let me do it."

Luo Di took the shovel from Anna. Gao Yuxuan on the side did not participate. After all, he had no experience in shoveling soil.

Half an hour later,
A pit large enough to fit four bodies, with more space left, had been dug.

The squad leader who worked with him the whole time also gave a thumbs up. Almost 2/3 of the pit was dug by Luo Di. He had very skilled and sophisticated pit-digging skills.
The squad leader even learned it, and maybe it will be useful in the future.

of course,

Anna was not idle either. After being replaced, she had chopped all the trees that were dragged back into strips suitable for burning.

Everyone quickly filled the pit with chopped wood strips, and then ignited it with lighters, paper towels and other flammable materials.

When the fire was big enough, the four corpses were stuffed in one after another. The flames produced by the burning litchi wood quickly engulfed the corpses that should have been cremated long ago.

Crackling~
An unpleasant smell emanated from the pit.

Just when everyone thought the cremation was going smoothly,

Snapped!
A drop of rain first fell on Rody's face.
A heavy rain fell without any warning.

"quick!"

Even though everyone reacted quickly, rushed back to the room, took out the tents, and set them up over the pit as quickly as possible to keep out the rain, the rain was so heavy that water even flowed onto the ground and poured into the pit where the bodies were cremated.

The heavy rain put out the fire in a short time.
The only good news was that the burning had been going on for nearly an hour before the rain came.
Although it had not reached the normal cremation time, most of the flesh should have been burned, with only a little charred meat and bones left. The four of them also took flashlights and hurried to check the situation in the pit. They could see a lot of charred bones.

But the problem was soon discovered. The picture caused by the lighting made everyone feel as if their bodies were frozen and they were speechless for a while.

One of the bodies actually remained intact and was basically unaffected by the burning.

"This is... the old man hanging at the top."

After making sure that only bones were left of the other three bodies, everyone worked together to carry the old man's body out.

The clothes and skin were burned, the flesh was blackened, and a few areas were burned, but the overall appearance did not change much.

The burnt flesh was still oozing out some kind of foul-smelling mucus, as if it was this mucus that was preventing the burning.

There is obviously something wrong with this body. What should we do?

It's raining heavily, and I don't know when it will stop.
Looking at the sudden heavy rain clouds, it is estimated that they may last for the whole day, so it seems that the only way to carry out secondary incineration is indoors.

Moreover, the other party's fire-resistant properties may not be effective even if you burn it for half a day.

The entire mansion is made of solid wood. If it is not properly controlled and catches fire, the situation will become even more troublesome.

Gao Yuxuan stared at the strange corpse of the old man and commented softly, "If we leave it alone, it will definitely turn into a corpse tonight. We have to find a way to deal with it and continue burning it or..."

The monitor's round eyes rolled around, and he seemed to have thought of a more risky method and was about to give his opinion.

I saw Rody squatting beside the corpse, tying the corpse's hands to a leftover wooden stick with a rope.

"I'll take care of the body. Deputy, come with me. You two should go back to the room and change your clothes. I'll be done with it quickly."

The squad leader stared at the strange corpse and said with some concern: "Let's act together. There's something wrong with this corpse."

Luo Di's attitude was very firm, "It's okay, the two of us are enough, we will be back soon."

The monitor didn't force it. Her and Anna's clothes were already completely soaked, and they really needed to go back and change. "Remember to turn on the wristband positioning. If you don't come back within fifteen minutes, Anna and I will come to find you."

"Ah."

Luo Di dragged the old man's body with a wooden stick to a relatively steep hillside.
Gao Yuxuan, who was following beside him, was very confused. "You want to throw this body down from here and expect it to roll to the bottom of the mountain? It's unlikely. The forest is too dense. It will stop at most after rolling a short distance.

Besides, he already shows signs of transformation. Even if we throw him down, we can still go up the mountain tonight. It will only delay us for half an hour at most."

"Do not."

"Then you plan to..."

Snapped!
Thunder roared past.

Gao Yuxuan's questioning was forced to be interrupted.

The flashing lightning just highlighted the silver electric saw in Roditi's hand, and the saw blade had begun to rotate at a high frequency.

"you!"

Gao Yuxuan immediately understood everything and also understood why Luo Di refused to let the two girls come with him.

Luo Di's expression became firm and even a little scary at this moment.
"You should throw the body as far as you can."

"Good~"

Gao Yuxuan swallowed his saliva, feeling nauseous, and stared at Luo Di beside him.

He didn't expect that Luo Di, who hardly spoke in class and always ranked first in sports, would have such a terrible idea.

But it has to be said that there is currently no better, faster or safer way than this.

……

Inside the institute.

Everyone stared at what was happening on the screen.

A supervisor in charge of psychological testing also came to Director Qin and asked, "Are you sure this person's psychological report is okay?"

Unexpectedly, Director Qin brought the reports of the four of them with him and took them out on the spot.

The psychological report on Rody showed everything was normal, with the only label being "introverted".

"This is the best way for them to deal with it at the moment, and such subjective behavior should be praised, not doubted."

"Well, if there is really nothing wrong with his mentality, then this young man is indeed worth looking forward to."
