173 I can't hide from what I should have come
At first, Yu'er was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak when she heard the sound of someone falling, afraid of encountering some bad guys, until she vaguely heard Shen Yan'er's voice just now, and then she mustered up the courage to call for help again.
After hearing the shout, Shen Yan'er suddenly came back to her senses and moved her eyes to the place where the cry came from. "Sister!" She responded to Yu'er's cry for help while pulling Xiao Hei forward.
"Miss—" At this time, the quiet cry for help was also heard. Judging by the volume and direction of the voice, she should be with Yu'er.
There was no fire in the tunnel, the fire folds burned out, and the light became smaller and smaller. Xiao Hei blew a few times, but it still didn't help. After a while, the fire was completely extinguished, and Shen Yan'er's eyes turned into pitch black.
At the bottom of the deep well, even the moonlight could not shine down. After losing the light, Shen Yan'er's whole body was shrouded in darkness, as if she was standing in a void. Knowing that Yu'er was waiting for her to rescue herself, she had to rush over as much as she could, but every step forward was terrifying, and the muscles in her legs tensed up unconsciously and trembled slightly.
"Follow me." Xiao Hei did not panic, decisively threw away the extinguished fire fold, and led the way with the instinct of animal-like precision. Probably to take care of Shen Yan'er, he walked very slowly, and used footsteps to guide Shen Yan'er.
"Wait for me!" As soon as Xiao Hei was half a step away, Shen Yan'er hurriedly chased after him, and reached out to grab his sleeve, and his upper body tilted forward unconsciously, almost sticking to Xiao Hei's arm. The extreme fear of being unable to speak had made her forget the rules of giving and receiving kisses between men and women, and she longed to be one with Xiao Hei.
Shen Yan'er conveyed her fear to Xiao Hei without reservation. always felt that this was adding to the tension, Shen Yan'er tried her best to restrain her fear, pretended to be brave in a trembling voice, and said, "I'm sorry, I ...... I'm fine......"
As he spoke, he wanted to let go of the hands that were holding Xiao Hei tightly. However, at this time, Shen Yan'er trembled and wanted to withdraw from her hand, but there was a soft temperature - it was Xiao Hei who suddenly held her.
Shen Yan'er's heart tightened suddenly, and she could feel that the power coming from Xiao Hei's palm was so calm and powerful, not allowing her to have any room to retreat. It was very incredible, and Shen Yan'er, who was frightened and panicked, calmed down like this.
It was still pitch black around him, and the real "I couldn't see my fingers", but the hand that was held by Xiao Hei kept surging with power. Shen Yan'er can firmly believe that as long as he is by his side, she will be safe and will not encounter any danger.
"You'er...... Where are you......" Shen Yan'er, who gradually recovered her composure, shouted into the depths of the darkness.
Xiao Hei explored the path with his feet while leading Shen Yan'er to move forward slowly. The voice of Yu'er and Jing Hao from the depths of the tunnel is the best guide, Xiao Hei followed the direction from which the voice came from, and walked straight forward with Shen Yan'er.
After only walking about ten steps, Xiao Hei suddenly stopped. Shen Yan'er heard the crisp sound of Xiao Hei kicking some metal object with his toes on the ground.
Xiao Hei let go of Shen Yan'er's hand, and groped in the dark space with both hands. Along with his movements, there was a constant sound of "Dangdang".
Judging by the location of the sound of the guò, it seems that something is blocking the way.
Shen Yan'er also stepped forward and groped with her hands like Xiao Hei. It was discovered that the object blocking the way was actually an iron bar, like the door of a prison cell.
The shape of the iron gate is exactly the same as the cross-section of the tunnel, blocking the entire space, and the railing is only a palm's width between the railings, which cannot be drilled through at all. On the right side of the iron bar, a very heavy and thick iron chain was entwined, and the iron chain was wrapped many times, as if a poisonous snake was firmly coiled around the door, preventing Shen Yan'er and Xiao Hei from passing.
"But fortunately, it's not locked...... Shen Yan'er touched the entire chain, but she didn't touch the lock or anything like that. It seems that the person who locked the door only wrapped the door with an iron chain and did not have a padlock, so it only took a little more time to untie the chain.
"Since there is an iron gate here, it proves that someone doesn't want the 'inside stuff' to come out." Xiao Hei came behind Shen Yan'er and touched the chain as well.
There had been walking corpses in this dry well, and of course Shen Yan'er immediately heard what the "things inside" in the little black dialect meant. However, Yu'er and Jinghao are not far behind the iron fence gate, and even if they are afraid, they must go in and rescue them.
"Sister!" "Miss!" Yu'er and Jinghao shouted excitedly after hearing the sound of Shen Yan'er and Xiao Hei pulling the chains. They were desperately slapping against something metal, making a "clang" sound. They sounded as if they were being locked in an iron cage less than ten paces behind the barred gate.
In tunnels where walking corpses may appear, this iron cage not only restricts their freedom of movement, but also protects them from attack.
Shen Yan'er frowned deeply, and a deep uneasiness floated in her heart. I don't know what the people who keep them here are trying to do......
"You'er, be quiet, who locked you up here?" Shen Yan'er pulled the chain vigorously while shouting to the hostages in the dark.
Frightened by today's terrible encounter, Yu'er cried and lamented: "I don't know what's going on, suddenly a few people in black clothes rushed into the room, grabbed me down the well and locked me up......" The incident happened suddenly, and Yu'er was already locked in an iron cage like an animal before she could figure out what was going on.
Jing Hao continued: "I found that Yu'er was not in the room, and when I was looking for it everywhere, someone suddenly came out of the well, and I didn't even have time to call for help, so I was locked up by them......" Her voice kept shaking, still lingering in fear.
"I'll get you out right away!" Shen Yan'er couldn't help but want to rush in immediately to rescue them, the action of pulling the chains became more and more rough, and the louder the noise was made. Suddenly, Xiao Hei grabbed her hand and whispered, "Wait a minute." ”
Xiao Hei's voice was obviously very soft, but when Shen Yan'er heard it, she felt like she had been hit hard and was completely stunned. She immediately stopped all movements, and stood stiffly in place, not daring to move her fingers.
Having experienced the test of mass graves, she best understood what Xiao Hei meant when he said these three words. It was a walking corpse, and only when the walking corpse was about to appear, Xiao Hei would hold her breath and stop all movements, and let out this incredibly calm voice to remind her.
Not only did Shen Yan'er no longer pull the chains, but even Yu'er and Jinghao, who were not far away, stopped calling and slapping the cage as if they had a premonition.
