At this point, there were more corpses on the ground, but to my heart's content, I hadn't seen any human corpses, at least so far.

On the one hand, this shows that the person I am chasing is still alive, and on the other hand, it also means that there are no other superfluous personnel in the secret passages of the entire stronghold, and all the wanderers have been completely withdrawn.

There were far more types of corpses than translucent monsters and wolfdogs, but there were a large number of cluttered corpses, but I was glad that I didn't see any baby monitor lizards in these corpses, but with their size, even young monitor lizards would have been very difficult to navigate through this passage.

There were so many of them that they began to block my path, and sometimes I had to move them all out of the way to find the light and make out of the right direction.

After walking for about a few minutes, there were a lot of blood stains on the ground in addition to the corpses, and I saw footprints on the blood stains.

Sure enough, it was the man's shoe print!

However, I noticed that the footprint looked a little abnormal, and I don't know if it was because the shoe didn't fit properly or because of the injury, but the footprint felt like a foot deep and a foot shallow, and I even suspected that the blood stains here were left by the owner of the shoe.

Zhao Youkuang is injured?

It's not impossible, and it can even be said that it's quite likely, because with so many creatures chasing her, it's not easy for her to save her life.

I don't know if there are so many "chasers" in the other passages like here, or if Qianqian has already located Zhao Youkuang's position and sent all the energy creatures towards her.

I tried to sense the energy around me again, and soon realized that there were more moving energy sources around the secret passage I was in. However, I can't tell what the specific distance is, because I don't know how serious Qianqian's energy inhibition is, and although the secret passage area I am in is a huge number of roads, if calculated according to the straight-line distance, the length between the points may not be much, so the accuracy of energy sensing is required.

It was precisely because of this reason that although I knew that there were a lot of Gu things moving around me now, I had no way to judge their specific distance, and I didn't even dare to determine the approximate distance.

But I haven't heard a fight, at least yet, which suggests that the creatures haven't found their target yet.

I walked forward three more passages in a row according to the guidance of the lantern, during which I encountered several waves of energy creatures passing back and forth, and this time I saw more clearly, the species can be described as strange, and I believe that if the diameter of the passage here is large enough, the richness of the species will definitely increase further.

Just when I was wondering where Zhao Youkuang had gone, I suddenly felt an extremely strong feeling of suffocation in my chest.

Although this feeling was much milder than when I rescued the first generation of test subjects, it came quite suddenly.

I thought to myself, could it be that the children outside were being raided?

But no! I'm far away from them now, and even if they're damaged, I can't have a strong feeling, it must have happened nearby! And those first test subjects didn't come down with me at all, so who could it be?

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly heard a sharp shout from the end of the passage ahead, followed by several successive thumping sounds of "dong dong", and it sounded like something had been slammed against the wall of the passage.

I took a deep breath, stopped the knife in front of me, and ran quickly in the direction where the sound came from.

There is also a lamp at the bend of the passage here, and it seems that I have not taken the wrong path.

The screams continued, and I heard some other grotesque, heavy noises that sounded a bit like wheezing, and from the weight of the noise, it was clearly animal.

I turned around to make sure there was no threat behind me, and then I leapt forward and rushed straight at the sound.

The moment I turned this passage, I saw two struggling figures on the ground of the passage in front of me, and after a closer look, I realized that one of them was actually a child.

Damn, didn't the first generation of test subjects follow me in?

But then I heard the same shrill scream I had just heard, and I realized that this was not the first generation of test subjects who followed the Moon Spirit, this was clearly one of the four children who had been held hostage by the Americans before!

After all, these four children hadn't really done anything to me before, and I had hoped to save them, so I immediately pulled out my gravel gun and fired several shots at the other figure in front of the child.

The figure was an animal, but I couldn't tell the category, because the flesh on its back had festered away from the flesh of its back after being hit several times by my gravel rifle, leaving only the fangs and claws of its front half.

However, the vitality and combat power of this thing are quite strong, and even so, it still did not fall, but immediately gave up on the little child, and turned to seek revenge on me.

I saw the trajectory of this thing, and brandished the mountain knife one step earlier to seal the path of its attack, but this thing must have gone crazy after being hit hard, and it was forced to hit me with my mountain opening knife, and I slashed directly to the ground three times in a row.

But the thing wasn't dead, but it grabbed me in the face with its only remaining right claw, and I quickly flashed sideways, and then I saw that the thing's head was biting straight at my heart at an uncanny angle.

Seeing that I was about to be bitten, the thing suddenly let out another scream, and then it was dragged back directly by another force behind it, and I took the opportunity to slash it in the head several times in a row, and it was killed......

……

Depend on!

I realized that I had already broken out in a cold sweat, I was still too light on the enemy just now, it seems that this will definitely not be the case in the future, not to mention that I don't have the ability to heal myself now, and if I am so careless, something will definitely happen.

At this time, I heard a whimper from under the monster's corpse, and I hurriedly kicked the monster's corpse away, only to realize that the child from before was crushed under the corpse.

It seems that the other force behind the monster just now, the one that saved me, was done by this little boy.

I recognized him at a glance as one of the four children who had escaped from the subway passage, and it happened to be the little boy I was chasing, with a prominent scar on the back of his head.

"It's you!" I hurriedly smiled, for I was afraid that he would run away again.

Fortunately, the little boy was obviously much softer towards me this time because we had rescued each other.

But he looked at me with a very cautious look, and I continued to try, "What about your friends? Don't you have three friends?"

However, when the little boy heard my words, his face was expressionless, and he did not even respond in the slightest, and felt like he was deaf.

However, he can't be deaf, I noticed that he was clearly using sound to discern nearby path obstacles when I was in the subway passage, so he didn't react now, and the only explanation was that he couldn't understand me.

Does he not understand Chinese? Is this a foreign kid?

It doesn't seem to make sense, because even if he doesn't understand the language, he should try to communicate with me, in fact, this little boy ...... It still gives an animal feel.

That's right...... Although he has a certain amount of "gratitude", he still seems to have a very good way of thinking like a human on the whole, because the next moment I saw him suddenly turn his head and run away towards the passage ahead of him without warning.

The little boy was running around quite strangely, it felt like he was lame, and he was swaying, could it be that he had been injured in the previous fight with the monster?

In addition, after I rescued the little boy, the tightness in my chest suddenly disappeared.

This is really evil...... Why do I have an energetic connection and a sense of energy with them now? Or ...... All of the original test subjects were able to form such a relationship with me?

……

Now that these four little boys have entered the secret passage here, this seems to be perfectly consistent with Qin Yao's previous inference, these four little boys are indeed inseparable from Zhao Youkuang and the other three unknown men, and it is very likely that they are controlled by them.

I followed the little boy all the way, thinking that he was looking for Zhao Youkuang, but soon I realized that the path he was traveling was not a place with a lamp at all.

He's messing around?

But it's not quite like it, or is it that Zhao Youkuang can only go to some secret passages that are not normal paths for some unavoidable reasons?

I resolutely followed him, but I quickly made a mark on the wall with my sword as I followed, so that I could find the right path back later.

After passing through several zigzag passages in succession, I gradually heard a small fighting sound from ahead, and the tightness in my chest reappeared.

It seems that three other children have also been traced, and they are in my vicinity, otherwise I would not have had the same intense chest tightness as I do now.

I don't know if this chest tightness will kill me if it gets to a certain point, so I have to minimize the risk and get them out as quickly as possible.

I made the last marks as I ran forward, refilling the bullets from the gravel gun.

After all this, I was surprised to see that the little boy in front of me was actually looking back at me, and he was now crouching near the bend of the nearest passage, as if waiting for me to pass.

I hesitated, but at last I quickly followed, and then I saw the little boy sniff the ground like a dog, and then crawl forward on all fours.

I looked around and found that the top of the secret passage seemed to have collapsed, and I could only move forward on my stomach.

Grass......

I was upset, but I leaned over and got to the bottom and started to crawl forward.

It was the first time I had walked in such a low and cramped environment, and with the already suffocating feeling in my chest, I felt like I was about to suffocate......

But even worse, when I was halfway up the distance, I heard a noise behind me.

Look back...... I don't know when a dozen black shadows came up behind me, and when I looked closely, I realized that they looked very much like gecko people.

However, as I said before, it is no longer possible for the gecko people I am familiar with to continue to survive in the Qinhuai Mountains or even in Dongkou Province, they are either wiped out and killed, or they are controlled by Qianqian's energy assimilation.

And now...... They clearly fall into the latter category.

For the gecko people, I actually have a certain ability to control them, because Nie Bi was a good hand at controlling them before, and after Nie Bi instilled some of his energy into me, I naturally have this ability.

However, I found that I had no contact with these gecko people at all, and on the contrary, I was still shocked by the chaotic roars and screams that came out of their mouths.

Since I'm not familiar with crawling movements, my current speed can't match those "new gecko people" who are controlled by Qianqian.

These gecko people do not emit any energy, this is because of Qianqian's effect on energy suppression, but ...... Their physique has really been enhanced, and at least they crawl much faster than I remember.

It didn't take long for a few gecko people to chase me less than a few meters away, and I had to turn around and use the gravel gun to block it, but this was not a long-term solution, because it was difficult to maintain accuracy in this situation, and the number of new gecko people was too large for me to break each one.

If you can use energy at this time, it will be a different story, but unfortunately I can't do it at all now, I tried a few times, and the tips of my fingers could only reveal a breath of energy like tears.

I was eventually discovered by the new gecko people, but ......

They didn't attack me......

Instead, they continued to crawl in front of me!

Only then did I react, they were just like those monsters before, they were also chasing and killing those four children or Zhao Youkuang, in short, the target was not me at all!

I was just wondering if I should rescue the little boy a second time when I heard another voice coming from behind me......
