Doomsday Super Farm

Chapter 103 Grave Keeper

The gravekeeper of the cemetery is an old man in his fifties. He is hunched over and holding a low-quality cigarette in his mouth. He is sitting on an old rocking chair in the duty room and looking out the window with cloudy eyes.

He was tightly wrapped in a military green coat to resist the biting cold wind at night.

Snap!

Li Tianran pushed open the door of the duty room and walked in, bringing with him a cold wind carrying dust, which made the old man shiver.

"Uncle, this is Li Tianran... was it you who called me just now?" Li Tianran looked at the tombkeeper and asked in a deep voice.

"It's me." Seeing this, the tombkeeper stood up. He bent over like a hunchback, wrapped himself in his coat, picked up the flashlight on the table and walked out: "Come on, I'll take you to have a look."

The huge cemetery was dim and dark, covering an area of ​​several kilometers. The cemetery of Li Tianran's parents was in a relatively remote corner. The two of them walked towards that location.

Li Tianran felt a little anxious and couldn't help but speed up his pace. The tombkeeper followed behind, and he was out of breath after a few steps.

Li Tianran couldn't bear to see this and slowed down.

The cemetery is divided into four areas, and there is a barbed wire fence between one area and another area to act as a theft prevention function. Usually only the gravekeepers have the key to open the barbed wire.

Even in the new century, there are still some people who are engaged in tomb robbing. They steal the ashes of women in the cemetery and match certain dead people in secret marriages. The price is very high. It is said that a woman's ashes can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan...

"Uncle, are you the only one in such a big cemetery?" Li Tianran asked softly.

"Yes." The tombkeeper seemed reluctant to speak and just nodded slightly.

"Now the world has changed. Danger is everywhere. Many people are hiding at home and dare not go out... Why do you still come out to work?" Li Tianran asked again.

"Haha... The world is changing, and I have to eat!" The tombkeeper smiled helplessly, "I work here, although it is a bit dangerous, but I still have 300 yuan a week to buy rice and noodles;

I am hiding at home, it is indeed safe! But within three days I will starve to death!"

The gravekeeper's words revealed a deep sadness.

Before the catastrophe, people who used to be wealthy had a hard time, while people who were already living a hard life lived more like bugs in the mud, gambling with their lives on tomorrow.

The two of them started to walk in silence, and soon came to the area where Li Tianran's parents' cemetery is located.

The tombkeeper took out the key and opened the gate made of barbed wire, and used a flashlight to shine at the two-meter-tall building in the corner that looked like a small ancestral hall.

There is a stone tablet erected in front of the small ancestral hall, and in the center of the ancestral hall, there should be a stone door to seal it, but now the two stone doors are scattered on the ground, exposing the dark void inside.

The two wooden boxes containing the ashes have disappeared.

When Li Tianran saw this scene, he felt his whole body become cold.

"I discovered it when I was patrolling here an hour ago." The gravekeeper's tone was also a little low, and then he used a flashlight to shake the barbed wire on the wall next to him, and saw a hole in the barbed wire that separated the cemetery from the outside world.

, the wire seemed to have been broken by pliers or something like that.

"There is only one entrance to this cemetery. The person who stole your parents' urn should have sneaked in through this hole." The gravekeeper pointed at the hole in the barbed wire fence with the light of his flashlight, and then

Point to the small ancestral hall."

"Go and see if those tomb robbers left any clues!"

Li Tianran gritted his teeth and walked towards the barbed wire fence instead of looking at the small ancestral hall.

The broken ends of the wire above are new, and the cross-sections are shiny. It is obvious that they were cut not long ago, otherwise in this humid and cold weather, these broken ends will rust in less than a day.

There were some footprints under the barbed wire fence. Li Tianran compared them and found that they were about 44 yards.

"Is there surveillance in the cemetery?" Li Tianran was silent for a moment and then asked.

"Who dares to install that thing in the cemetery..." The tombkeeper shook his head and said, "How scary! I look at the screen in the middle of the night. If I see someone, should I go out or not?"

The wages and benefits of cemetery caretakers are very low. It is a kind of dawdling job, and no one will work too hard.

Li Tianran did not make a fuss with the tombkeeper and scold him for not doing his job diligently.

Because it's of no use at all.

Now he just wants to see if there are any traces left by the other party here, trying to find some clues.

"You'd better check inside the small ancestral hall to see if there are any clues left by the gang of tomb robbers..." the tombkeeper said, passing the flashlight to Li Tianran, and pointed at the small ancestral hall again.

Li Tianran felt very confused, so he took the flashlight and walked towards his parents' small ancestral hall.

On the tombstone, a photo of a middle-aged couple hung on it, showing gentle smiles, which made Li Tianran feel sad.

He trembled to himself: "It's my fault, I didn't think comprehensively enough... As early as the day the world mutated, I should have taken you back."

The world is changing, and anything can happen.

If there is any crustal movement, or some mutant beasts break into the cemetery, it will make a mess here.

Li Tianran endured the discomfort, walked to the tombstone and kowtowed twice.

In the photo, the woman's eyes are extremely gentle.

Li Tianran stood up and wanted to take a look at the small ancestral hall, but at this moment he was suddenly stunned. As if he thought of something, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the hole in the barbed wire fence.

He stood there again and gestured with his hand to indicate the size of the hole.

He quickly discovered the problem.

The hole seems a bit small!

It's only half a meter in diameter. Although it can accommodate some adults passing by, it will definitely be very difficult.

Li Tianran tried to get through, and it took him more than ten seconds to get through completely.

Then, he stood outside the hole and looked at the edge of the wire. He saw that nearly half of the dozen or so sharp forks in the wire mesh were hung with some silk threads. They were the fluff on Li Tianran's clothes. If you weren't careful,

If you look, you can't see it at all.

Li Tianran's figure is not strong, and he is relatively thin among adult men, and when he drilled through the hole, he had been very careful to avoid the iron wires, but even so, his clothes still caught on the edges of the iron wires.

There are traces left on the fork.

The footprints under the barbed wire fence are about 44 yards. According to this ratio, this person's stature should be about 1.78 meters to 1.83 meters, which is considered tall among men. It is impossible to pass through the hole in the barbed wire fence.

Very relaxing.

Li Tianran remembered clearly that there were no traces of thread on these barbed wire fences!

Li Tianran tried to pull the threads, but he couldn't pull them off without using force. There was absolutely no chance that they would be blown away by the wind.

Even a thin person cannot leave no trace at all.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and his eyes turned cold.

He began to slowly recall everything that had happened since he arrived at the cemetery, including every word the tombkeeper said to him.

Perhaps, there are no tomb robbers lurking in at all.

He raised his head and stared at the hunched-over tombkeeper standing in the darkness, his brows trembling.

If this tombkeeper could stand up straight... he would be very tall!

At least it will be above 1.78 meters!
