Chapter 14: The Fog
Chen Chong knew that he didn't have the conditions to face Johnson head-on at all, plus the rest of the guards would arrive in a few minutes, and it was only a dead end to continue to stay here, and the only chance to survive was that he was marked with an extremely dangerous fog area behind him!
Of course, he knew that a place that could make a base with armed forces think that it was extremely dangerous was definitely not a good place, and the strong attraction he had felt before all showed the weirdness of the Misty Zone, but now like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, he couldn't care so much.
"You can't run!"
Seeing Chen Chong reflexively rushing towards the fog area without hesitation, Johnson's face couldn't help but change, and he roared and strode wildly, rushing after him, and at the same time took out the large-caliber revolver on his waist.
Bang bang!
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the river valley and hit everyone's heart, but Johnson's shot in the wild rush was a big failure, and Chen broke through the cauldron and the speed was like a sharp arrow from the string, and it was a missed shot.
Then Lin Kun and the other prisoners on the rock wall saw Chen Chong and Johnson one after the other, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed into the fog dozens of meters away and disappeared.
At this moment, the prisoners who had stopped climbing just stared blankly at the edge of the mist, as if their hearts were blocked by something.
"What are you guys still doing!"
The roar sounded like thunder, and above their heads, Lin Kun's eyes were red, and he shouted:
"The other guards will be there soon, Chen Chong has bought us time with his own life, do you want his blood to be wasted!?"
Rushing into the extremely dangerous fog area with serious injuries, Chen Chong had only one end, that is, ten deaths.
In Lin Kun's view, Chen Chong's choice to jump off the rock wall to lure Johnson away was undoubtedly realizing that he was no longer able to escape calmly as the primary target of all the hatred, and finally chose to sacrifice himself so that the prisoners who were still climbing would have a greater chance to escape. And in this dark world that has long since collapsed and can lead to a fight for his life for a little food, Chen Chong's self-sacrificing behavior undoubtedly deeply shocked his already cold heart.
"I must live!"
"We can't let 416's sacrifice go to waste!"
The eyes of the prisoners who were still climbing suddenly turned red, and they gritted their teeth one by one, and their muscles jumped violently, and they tried their best to climb up again.
This is indeed a beautiful misunderstanding. In fact, Chen Chong is by no means a hero who sacrifices his life for righteousness, even if he sacrifices all the prisoners to ensure that he can escape calmly alone, he can do it if he can't do it.
The reason why he wanted to take these prisoners to escape from prison together was more because he had to use them to disperse the pressure of the guards to chase him, plus the wilderness was too dangerous, and the strength of everyone could improve the chance of getting out. It's just that the plan can't keep up with the rapid changes, and all kinds of accidents finally create such a seemingly tragic and heroic situation, which Chen Chong himself did not expect.
......
At this moment, in the fog.
Behind a protruding rock, Chen Chong's chest rose and fell rapidly, trying to control his breathing while his ears were listening to all the movements.
Now all around him was pure white mist, and visibility was extremely low. As long as it is more than two or three meters away, nothing can be seen except the gloomy white fog, not even the gloomy sky light can penetrate, and it is impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
Just rushed into the fog area for more than ten meters, Chen Chong had already lost his way, this extremely dense and strange fog was not only difficult to penetrate, but also seemed to have the effect of isolating and absorbing the sound of the outside world, and the rumbling sound of water outside the fog area could not be heard at all here!
"Chen Chongβ"
"Poor little thing, where are you hiding? It's dangerous here, do you want to be eaten alive by the radiation seeds hiding inside?"
"What the radiant species like most when they eat people is to start with their limbs, and the person who is eaten will not die on the spot, but will see their hands and feet eaten little by little, do you want to do the same?"
"Do you think I'm going to let you go if you run over here? Come out, come out!"
Johnson's vague roar came from the fog, making it difficult to discern the exact direction of the sound for a while.
"It's a problem. β
Knowing that Johnson, who was chasing after him, was probably not far away, Chen Chong reluctantly moved his left arm, which was still in severe pain, and his eyes were heavy.
He knew that Johnson was chasing after him because the consequences of Catherine being killed by him were too serious, so heavy that Johnson had to catch him even if he was in danger himself, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Digreth at all. In a way, Johnson, like him, was forced to enter this eerie fog area.
The situation in this fog area is extremely strange, not only isolating the outside light and sound, but also the visibility is extremely low, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction at all, and what makes Chen Chong dare not relax for a moment is that in addition to the wandering and roaring Johnson, there are unknown horrors and dangers that may be hidden in the fog, which can be said to be murderous!
"That strange attraction feels even more obvious. β
Chen Chong's face was calm, and he only felt that since he entered the fog, the strange feeling as if something was attracting and tempting him had become even stronger. This feeling undoubtedly made Chen Chong's heart deeply vigilant.
"Can't wait any longer!"
The unknown is more dangerous and deadly. Suddenly, Chen Chong's mind was spinning rapidly, and he could distinguish the direction in which Johnson's roar had just come from, and immediately started to act.
After distinguishing the general direction of Johnson's voice earlier, Chen Chong's figure was low, like an agile cheetah, quickly passing through a straight line in the opposite direction in the huge dense fog maze. In his opinion, there is no good way to pass through this foggy area that does not know how much area it covers, and all that can be done is to move forward, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!
Call.
The figure pierced the dense fog like a sharp arrow, although Chen Chong's left arm was not lightly injured, but his movement was not greatly affected, he exceeded the amazing speed of the sprinters in his previous life, and kept a straight sprint in just one minute, at least half a kilometer away.
"Something doesn't seem right. β
In the thick fog, Chen Chong stopped, gasped slightly while observing his surroundings and listening. The gloomy and oppressive fog floated quietly, and there was silence all around, barely making a sound.
"I've traveled at least 500 meters in a straight line, and the extent of this fog area is so ...... Wait!"
The next moment, Chen Chong's observing gaze instantly locked on a rock two meters away from him, and found that this rock was faintly familiar.
Chen Chong immediately approached, his eyes swept away, and then his face changed drastically, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave!
The rock was still stained with bloodstains, which he had leaned on when he had hidden his form.
In other words, he ran at high speed in a straight line for a minute, and after a distance of more than 500 meters, he actually returned to the starting point again!
"Ghost hitting the wall?"
Chen Chong's heart beat wildly, and he only felt the fog around him surging slightly, as if it was sending a mysterious smile to him.
