Chapter 251 Large-scale sacrifice
Shen Feng felt his head buzzing, as if the blood all over his body suddenly flowed back to the top of his head. The protective suit was not very breathable, and his back was instantly soaked with sweat.
He is definitely a materialistic atheist. Even if he encounters existences such as the Whisperers and Lords of the Void, he still thinks that they are just energy or biological entities with extraordinary power, which can definitely be explained by science.
It's just that the environment he is in and the sound are so weird now that it is difficult for him not to think about gods and ghosts!
He took a deep breath and listened carefully, but the sound had disappeared.
It's as if it never appeared.
What is that sound?
Is it really his name?
If that is the case, it is simply nonsense!
He, the savior, and the Salvation Army he founded simply do not exist in this world. The Shen Feng of this world may have died long ago, or may not have existed at all.
And this is Mexico City, and everyone speaks Spanish. Although the voice just sounded a little out of tune, it was obviously Chinese!
Why does his name appear here alone?
Is it hypnosis?
Perhaps he had already fallen into hypnosis when he entered the ruins of Spider Nest City?
After all, in his original world, Spider Nest City may be related to the Whisperers and Cthul of the Purification Society...
Shen Feng then shook his head again.
Even if the biological brain is hypnotized, the silicon-based brain will never be hypnotized. At this time, from the perception of his silicon-based brain, the biological brain has always been in a relatively stable state, and there is no problem.
It was still dark ahead, and Shen Feng knew that he could only find the answer by going deep into the Spider Nest City. He no longer hesitated, holding the bright flashlight that had not been turned on in one hand, and holding the shotgun on the other arm, and walked forward quickly. go.
Aztec cities are generally not huge, but the spider nest city he is currently in is definitely not small.
This ruin hidden underground in Mexico City is extremely deep inside. He walked forward for almost half an hour, and was still surrounded by some low-rise houses.
This city seems to have been built underground from the beginning, so it has not been buried after a long time. Only occasionally some places are covered by sand and gravel that fell from above due to collapse.
As Shen Feng kept walking forward, he saw more and more skeletons, some of which were creepy.
Various twisted corpses appeared at the doorways of the building ruins he passed.
Judging from the way the hands and limbs of the corpses were tied and the degree of fragmentation of their bones, they were obviously murdered.
In other words, it was torture.
There are even corpses hanging from the doorways of some taller buildings, using ropes woven from a mixture of metal and plant roots.
For thousands of years, the underground ruins have been almost stationary, so the bones have not fallen down.
The further you go in, the more corpses you encounter.
Later, the bodies were separated and the number of corpses with damaged sternums gradually increased.
Even when we got to the road behind, there were all the bones of Leile lying there, and it felt like we couldn't even move our feet.
Shen Feng tried his best to walk through the gaps among the withered bones, so as not to crush them and make a sound that would attract something in the darkness.
However, in front of him, some dry bones on the road had been trampled to pieces, and some footprints were still left.
Obviously, it was the work of those zombies just now.
The underground ruins were so huge that Shen Feng originally thought that it would be impossible to encounter the zombies if they were scattered in all directions, but now it seems that this is not the case.
The zombies seemed to have their own consciousness, and they all headed towards the center of Spider Nest City, as if they were attracted by something!
Thinking back to the time when the ruins of the Spider Nest City in his original world were unearthed, the weird sounds and vibrations coming from the ground, and the hundreds of thousands of people who were collectively hypnotized, Shen Feng was already sure that there was someone in the Spider Nest City. Something that can affect people's spirits.
It should be right in the center of the ruins of this ancient city!
Finally, when Shen Feng walked out from between the two rows of buildings, an empty square immediately appeared in front of him.
It is said to be empty because the square is huge.
The place itself is packed with stuff.
Skeletons, thousands of skeletons, fill this square!
On the left side of the square are countless headless skeletons.
On the right side of the square, there are densely packed skeletons!
Even though Shen Feng was mentally prepared and had seen many big scenes, he felt his scalp was numb at this time.
What the hell is this place?
What happened to this city?
Mass sacrifice?
But the number of skeletons in front of us is at least hundreds of thousands!
Although the Aztec civilization at that time was a powerful empire composed of tribal alliances, with a maximum population of 20 million, hundreds of thousands of people were almost the strongest tribal population.
Could it be that the entire tribe was offering sacrifices?
But what is this for?
The sacrifices of the Aztecs were more to please the gods and allow the living to live better. At the same time, they also had the underlying reason of reducing the population to meet food supply, but it was definitely not the ultimate goal of death.
The fundamental purpose of sacrificing death is still to live!
In the center of the huge square is a pyramid-shaped temple altar, similar to the shape of an ancient Chinese observatory, but it is extremely huge and towering.
The place above where we were at this time seemed to be in the heart of a certain mountain.
The steps of the altar were also piled with skeletons, and the corresponding heads were stuck on some sharp spear-like shelves on the side.
Although he didn't know how many years had passed, looking around, Shen Feng seemed to still be able to see the scene in which the aboriginal priests of Spider Nest City dug out the hearts of sacrifices and burned them, and then dropped the bodies from the high platform. .
This is the sacrificial scene of a super large-scale sacrifice.
It seemed that the entire residents of Spider Nest City had sacrificed themselves.
Being among the pile of bones, Shen Feng surprisingly calmed down at this time.
He has seen many kinds of monsters, and the skeletons of dead humans can only be said to be okay.
There was a faint sound of bones falling from the altar ahead, as well as a faint roar.
Apparently the zombies had climbed onto the altar.
There is something there that attracts them.
This is also where he must go!
He took out a few grenades from his backpack and hung them on his body. Shen Feng didn't care whether they would make any sound at this time. He directly held the gun and crushed the bones under his feet and walked forward step by step.
As he walked forward, he carefully looked at the bones and heads under his feet to determine the manner of their death.
Sure enough, as he had thought before, the sternums of all these people were cut open before death, and their heads were cut off later. There were cuts on the cervical vertebrae.
Soon, Shen Feng arrived in front of the altar and began to walk up the huge slope, stepping on the decayed bones.
On the slope on this side, many bones have been trampled to pieces, and the zombies that first arrived have already made their way out.
The entire altar is made of layers of stones. In the darkness, there are many patterns on the stones that are emitting fluorescence.
It should be made of fluorite or some kind of radioactive mineral.
