Chapter 81: Footsteps
"Click, click!" the footsteps sounded again, as if they were slowly approaching them.
All the task force members were horrified when they heard this, and they all stood stiffly in place, not daring to move, and their scalps exploded one by one.
Stop saying yes, who the fuck doesn't obey military orders?
The task force members are all specially trained soldiers, and their courage is not small, but the footsteps are so strange that they seem to float back and forth above their heads
The tense atmosphere spread, and the team members swept around with flashlights, and the light trembled violently, but it looked like it was all black walls, and there were only twelve of them in the entire stone path, and there was not even a living figure in sight.
"Shhhhhhh Yun Kang raised his hand to stop them, then quietly crouched down, and then extinguished the flashlight.
The direction of the sound is erratic, and if it is not haunted, it means that the passage must be circular, and although the footsteps sound very close, the actual distance may be very far.
Ge Fengdu hurriedly asked the team members to squat down, turned off the flashlight, he leaned in front of Yunkang, and asked in a low voice: "Listen, it seems that there is only one person's footsteps, what's going on?"
There were at least twenty warriors under Jiang Rongzhan, and the sound of a person's footsteps suddenly appeared, which made people feel a little weird.
Yun Kang had already prepared in his heart, if this person was not a task force, nor was he a Jiang family martial artist, it was the third group of people. All kinds of mysterious forces gathered in Wufeng Mountain, and a single gang came out, what's so strange.
The frequency of the footsteps became soothing, and it looked unhurried, as if someone was taking a walk and concentrating on life.
All flashlights were turned off, and the entire passage was pitch black.
Everyone held their breath, and the darkness made people think about it, as if they were surrounded by invisible ghosts. Suddenly, a stream of cold air swept past their ears, and the team members trembled all over, nervous to the extreme, and could only hear their own "pounding" heartbeat.
"Click, click!" the footsteps suddenly intensified, and someone seemed to jump twice in the darkness, and then the sound disappeared.
The cold sweat of the team members kept flowing down from the door of their heads, what does it mean, is this person walking, or jumping?
Some people couldn't control their active thinking, and began to make up for the appearance of Qing Dynasty zombies, wearing blue and black pony coats, wearing flower feathers on their heads, stretching their hands straight forward, and jumping forward.
"Giggle!" There was a sound of chattering teeth in the darkness, Ge Fengdu was annoyed, and lowered his voice and said, "You are a task force, you have been specially trained, how can you be less daring than a chicken cub!"
Yun Kang was also speechless, the "glorious image" that the task force once flaunted had already collapsed into a pile of slag in his heart.
After more than ten seconds, the sound of footsteps disappeared completely. The team members relaxed slightly, some inexplicably, and they all whispered.
"Damn, what the hell is going on, I only hear footsteps, but I can't see people, this is too evil. A small-eyed team member said.
He stole out a tiny flashlight and looked around nervously, when he suddenly saw his own shadow reflected on the stone slab, which frightened him a little.
"There is a legend in our hometown that if someone collides with a god and walks at night, he will hear footsteps behind him, but he will not see where the person is. Captain, it seems that we are not very polite to break into Zhang Guolao's immortal cultivation treasure land, did we collide with the gods?" said a stunned team member.
"I think, it's better to burn incense and worship, and beg the old fairy to let us go?" A member of the team next to him was infected by the mysterious atmosphere, followed the superstition, and was annoyed that he didn't go to the incense to worship the god before going down to the deep cave, and now he offended the old fairy, just listening to a terrifying footfootsteps, he could drive people crazy.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, and put it in hindsight, where can you find incense now?" said the pole, squatting and moving over, and gathered with them, and complained in a low voice.
"If there is no incense, the candles will be fine, I brought two candles. The stunned team member said, taking out two long red candles from their backpacks.
"Two candles are not enough, two candles are for the living, and three candles are for the dead. The pole shook his head.
"Zhang Guo is always a cultivator, he must still be a living person, what do you mean by burning three, the old fairy was annoyed, so he lit you as a candle. The small-eyed team pouted on the spot and vetoed the pole's suggestion.
"Are you educated, Zhang Guo is more than a thousand years old, can he still live?" the pole glared at him in the dark and said dissatisfiedly.
"Live, why can't you live, haven't you heard of the living dead, although the body is dead, but the spirit will always live in the hearts of the people, and it is a person like the old fairy. The small-eyed team members opened their mouths and had to argue strongly.
"Don't talk nonsense, listen to what our captain has to say. Captain, do you want to light two or three candles?"
Ge Fengdu didn't have the heart to listen to their nonsense, at this time he was holding a compass in one hand, his face was full of anxiety, why was the compass not good?
Hearing the team members arguing about the candles, Ge Fengdu couldn't help but shout: "Why don't you all shut up for me, look at the compass, who can still use it?"
When the team members heard it, yes, didn't they just let me take the compass, how did I talk about candles!
They hurriedly rummaged through their backpacks, found all the compasses, and shone them on it with a super-small flashlight, and were stunned.
Hey, is the compass dizzy, how can the pointer "swish" a vigorous turn, and the rhythm can't be stopped at all.
The team members are all impatient people, and they are already depressed, but when they suddenly find that the compass is not working, they all complain that the things provided by the task force are defective.
They often perform tasks outside, and when they encounter special environments, some instruments often get stuck and don't move, but as long as they fall on the ground and step on their feet hard, they can generally recover to normal.
The team members clapped hard with their hands, and some slammed on the stone floor, but the compass still could not be used.
Yunkang was made lose his temper by this group of unobtrusive team members, and couldn't help but persuade them: "Don't knock on it, the military guide is very sensitive to changes in the magnetic field, and the pointer is turning so hard, which means that there must be a disturbing magnetic field nearby." ”
He used his divine sense to sweep to the left and right, and the most suspicious thing was the asphalt wall, if there was a layer of magnetic powder in it, it would affect the reaction of the finger to the magnetic pole, and then the compass would be completely useless.
"This passage is not straight, but a circle, and we have been walking east just now, and we may have deviated from the direction. Without a compass, we wouldn't even be able to find an exit. Yunkang explained to the players.
Along the way, Yun Kang was so miraculous that many of the team members were already convinced, and they couldn't help but regard him as a spiritual leader. At this time, listening to his analysis, it suddenly dawned on me, it turned out to be a circular passage, no wonder there were footsteps coming, but I couldn't see the figure, and I thought it was haunted.
Ge Fengdu asked puzzledly: "If it is a circular passage, it will be safer, as long as we go down the passage, we can return to the starting place sooner or later." ”
Yun Kang glanced at him and said, "Don't forget, this is a passage deliberately designed by the Immortal Cultivator, since he let the compass fail, there must be something strange in it, and it will never let us return to the origin of the departure lightly." ”
When the team members heard this, they panicked, if they didn't have a compass, let alone save people, they themselves were dizzy.
"Click, click!" The sound of empty footsteps sounded again, step by step from far to near, and the team members heard it very clearly in their ears.
The task force crouching at the back of the line turned his head and said in a trembling voice, "Listen, it seems to be coming from behind me." ”
At this time, everyone's nerves were already numb, and the rod knocked the compass on the wall, and said, "This is a public place, if someone wants to take a walk, let him take a walk, what are you doing with others?" ”
As soon as Yunkang's divine sense power was concentrated, he swept out in the direction where the sound of footsteps came from, and saw a figure in a black uniform, walking towards them.
The figure stretched long in the dark stone passage, surrounded by a background of black walls, and his legs were outstretched, as if he were walking in place, and his body moved forward in a fluttering manner.
Yun Kang was a little puzzled, the uniform this person was wearing seemed to be exactly the same as that of the task force.
"Ge Er, are you sure there are only twelve people here?" Yun Kang asked in a low voice.
"You can't be mistaken, ten team members, plus you and me, a total of twelve. Ge Fengdu was a little nervous, staring at Yun Kang and said, but he didn't dare to look back.
In such an eerie and mysterious environment, a stranger suddenly appeared behind him, and he was going to have a heart attack just thinking about it.
"Maybe something big is going to happen, and there's an extra person in the back? He's wearing a task force uniform. Yun Kang said in a low voice.
"Wouldn't it?" asked Ge Fengdu in surprise. But what made him even more strange was that Yun Kang's eyes were so good, he could see the clothes worn by the visitor without a flashlight.
As soon as the pole heard that it was his own person, he was immediately not afraid, stood up, turned on the bright flashlight, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, which part are you?
The team members all got up and turned on their flashlights, and all the light gathered on a black figure. I saw that the man was wearing a uniform, an explosion-proof helmet and a mask, standing straight in the depths of the stone path.
It turned out to be really his own people, and the team members had a false alarm, and they were all a little annoyed, Ge Fengdu frowned, and asked, "Hey, who are you, don't be sullen and don't speak." ”
Maybe the headquarters gave some temporary order, so they sent down a brother to inform them.
Only Yun Kang felt that something was wrong, this person had the momentum of a martial artist, and he was definitely not a task force. He snorted coldly, shook the flashlight violently, and swept it to the man's eyes.
The man hurriedly lowered his head, raised his hand to block the light in front of him, suddenly turned around, spread his legs and ran.
Ge Fengdu was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Stop, what kind of person are you!"
Before the voice fell, Yun Kang's figure had already rushed out, and he turned around and shouted while chasing: "Ge Er, take everyone back, go back and wait for the support of the large army, it's not safe here!"
Without waiting for Ge Fengdu to answer, Yunkang had already run away.
"Captain, what shall we do?" asked the pole nervously. Yunkang left the team suddenly, and the team members all felt that they had lost their backbone, and they had no idea, as if they couldn't advance or retreat.
Ge Fengdu didn't know the bottom of his heart, the situation ahead was unknown, they were blind all the way in the stone road, and they didn't dare to shoot when they encountered an accident, and now even the compass is out of order, if they continue to walk, they don't know what happened.
With so many people on an adventure, no one can afford to take responsibility in case something happens.
Ge Fengdu was distraught, and he struggled for a while, thinking that it would be better to listen to Yunkang's words, take his brothers back first, wait for the support from the headquarters to come, and then discuss countermeasures together.
"Let's go, let's go back!" Ge Fengdu said immediately, and then led the team members to turn around and walk back.
The rod kept an eye on the way to his luminous watch, and they walked for three minutes from the starting point to the place where they stopped.
As soon as he told the situation, the team members praised him for his resourcefulness, and in just three minutes, it was too easy to walk back, and there was no pressure at all.
They were trained in the army, and their usual walking habits were fixed, and even the steps were the same size, so it was easy to return to the same place.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes......
The team members pinched the punctual time, stopped at three minutes, and then the flashlight shone around, and they were stunned, and they couldn't find the exit passage that went down vertically.
When they came down, there were several ropes hanging down from the entrance of the cave, and the signs were very obvious.
But now they returned the way they came, and there was nothing but two high black walls, and there was nothing around them. Not to mention looking for ropes and holes, I didn't even find a hole.
