Chapter 20: The Worst Encounter
When the World War II Japanese military plane that crashed into the maze decades ago, penetrated the ground of the labyrinth, and plunged straight into the artificial cave, appeared in front of the four criminals, they all thought it was just an illusion they saw.
Judging from the wreckage, after the military plane fell, it fell into the maze, and while penetrating the ground, the wings were broken off and left on the ground, and the fuselage penetrated the ground and fell into the cave below, but it was also broken into three parts, the front section was extremely badly damaged, the propeller was shattered, and the engine also fell out and rolled on one side, but the plane did not explode.
"Airplanes?" Yan Gang raised his hand and pointed at the wreckage, "It looks very old, there is a Japanese flag logo on the fuselage, it should be a Japanese military aircraft during World War II, maybe it fell here during the Battle of Xiangxi in 1945." ”
Samuchuan frowned and stood behind everyone, remaining silent.
When the torture technique was about to step forward, Tan Tong was one step ahead of him, stepped forward quickly, looked at the body carefully, and then pulled out the incendiary stick, raised it high, and walked around the body, and then affirmed: "It is a KI15-1 reconnaissance aircraft, also known as the 97 type headquarters reconnaissance aircraft, which began to be developed in 1935, and the prototype was successfully manufactured in 1936, adopted in 1937, and was thrown into the war of invasion of China in large numbers. However, it was only confined to the war of aggression against China, because many of the American and British planes surpassed this kind of aircraft, and they were undoubtedly targets in the air when they were put into places other than the non-Chinese battlefield. ”
Yan Gang raised his eyebrows: "When did you become a military expert again?" ”
"I've been filming for so many years, and the most I have filmed is anti-Japanese dramas, and I am still a prop maker, of course, I am also very interested in these, so I know a little more than others, I have a model of this aircraft at home, which I bought back from Japan." Tan Tong couldn't stop the excitement in his tone, "This is the first time I've seen a real guy, although it's already fragmented." ”
Xingshu looked at the hole that the plane crashed out: "Maybe this is an opportunity, maybe we can climb out here and see what is on it and determine the direction." ”
"There's something I haven't told you all along." Yan Gang took out the GPS locator from his waist, "This thing has always been able to be used normally, we can at least rely on this thing to tell the direction." ”
Tan Tong retreated: "In this three-layer closed environment, this thing is useless at all, can that thing still give you navigation?" As he spoke, Tan Tong imitated the female voice of the navigation, "Navigation starts, keep right after 50 meters, and turn right at the second traffic light intersection after 300 meters......"
Yan Gang was amused by Tan Tong, and after glancing at the GPS, he took it back: "Okay, okay, almost, don't go on endlessly." ”
The torture technique turned to look at Samuchuan, who was very vigilant at this time, constantly looking around, and his expression was also very nervous. The torture technique subconsciously asked, "Samuchuan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Samuchuan just looked around, there was no reaction, the torture technique walked towards him, and asked again, Samuchuan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "No...... It's nothing. ”
Hearing Samuchuan's tone, the torturer subconsciously picked up the flashlight and shone it on Samuchuan's face, and when this light went up, the torture was startled on the contrary, because Samuchuan's face was sweaty, and his face was pale, as if he had not escaped from the terror after being frightened.
"Samuchuan! What the hell is wrong with you? The torture technique stared at Samuchuan's face and asked sharply, "Are you hiding something from us?" ”
As for the criminal technique, Yan Gang and Tan Tong in front of them both looked back, because they didn't know what the specific situation was, and on the premise of believing that the criminal technique could handle this kind of thing, they didn't step forward, but just stood under the wreckage of the plane and watched.
While looking around, Samuchuan said to himself: "It turned out to be true, the wreckage of the plane is real, it is all true, everything that happened back then is true, and that is also true!" ”
Torture frowned: "What? What's that thing you're talking about? ”
"Samuchuan, what's wrong with you?" Tan Tong said that he was about to step forward, and Tan Tong was also about to return, when at this moment, the four of them clearly heard the sound of something being dragged from the other end of the wreckage of the plane......
The moment the voice came, Samuchuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked over, and his breathing stopped. Xingshu, Yan Gang, and Tan Tong also turned around to look at the other side suddenly, Yan Gang clenched the crossbow in his hand, and Tan Tong and Xingshu pulled out the mountain opening knife and pinched it in their hands.
At this time, Samuchuan took a step back, and while swallowing his saliva, the "grunt" sound from his throat actually echoed in the cave for a few seconds, making the atmosphere even more tense.
"Bang dang dang, bang dang-" The voice came again, and the torture technique heard it clearly, the sound should be something dragging the thick iron chain, after a few seconds, the sound of dragging came again, and this time the sound felt even closer than the last time, as if something had reached the other side of the wreckage of the plane, and it was only ten meters away from this side.
What's even more bizarre is that when the second drag sound came, the sound changed from "clang" to "clang, buzzing", and it could be judged that there were two chains, and there seemed to be something else heavy behind the second chain.
Tan Tong breathed slowly, turned his head to look at the torture technique, Yan Gang raised the crossbow and slightly aimed sideways at the side of the wreckage, the three of them waited for a long time, and they didn't hear the sound again, the torture technique couldn't help but look back at Samuchuan, who was already stupid and stood motionless.
Tan Tong looked at Samuchuan and shouted in a very low voice: "Samuchuan, what are you doing in a daze!?" Come here! ”
Samuchuan didn't react, just stared at the wreckage of the plane, sweat rolling down in large chunks.
Xingshu shook his head slightly at Tan Tong, took two steps back and whispered to Samuchuan: "You stay here and don't move, let's go and see!" ”
Samuchuan stared at the wreckage with his eyes, completely ignoring the words of the torture, only the piercing screams and wails of the vague memories of years ago.
Xingshu made a gesture of outflanking and covering, signaling Tan Tong to climb up to the wreckage from the right side to cover, while he and Yan Gang walked around from the left side of the wreckage to see what was dragging the chain.
When Xingshu and Yan Gang walked to the left side of the wreckage, they deliberately stopped, Yan Gang glanced ahead with a crossbow, and Xingshu nodded towards Tan Tong, who was slowly climbing above the wreckage of the body, signaling that he could continue. When Tan Tong climbed to the top and raised the mountain opening knife, the torture technique patted Yan Gang on the shoulder, signaling that he could move on.
At this time, Tan Tong was uneasy in his heart, he suddenly remembered something, and waved his hand at Yan Gang, meaning that the crossbow should be handed over to himself, otherwise, it would be meaningless for him to take a mountain knife to cover behind, if he found something, the only thing he could do was to throw the mountain knife directly over, and then ...... He could only shout "come on" there.
Xingshu and Tan Tong went one after the other, covering each other's advances, and after they walked past the side of the wreckage, the two turned on their headlights again, one from left to right, and the other from right to left, but they didn't find anything strange.
"It's weird." Torture said in a low voice, "Did you hear it wrong?" ”
Yan Gang shook his head slightly: "It's impossible for the four of them to hear it wrong, there must be something, let's go ahead and take a look!" ”
The torture technique made a "staring" gesture sideways towards Tan Tong at the top of the wreckage, and then continued to move forward behind Yan Gang, the two walked less than five steps away, Yan Gang suddenly stopped, because the sole of his shoe that stepped into the shallow part of the riverbed obviously stepped on an iron chain, and the torture technique on one side also stopped, because he suddenly realized what he seemed to see when he turned his head to look at Tan Tong before......
It's like you go home every day and you pass around a corner, but you know it's just empty and there's nothing, but one time you walk by as usual, you casually glance at it, and although your eyes catch the extra thing there, your mind still thinks that there is nothing there as usual, but when you take two steps, the image captured by your eyes is so terrifying that it naturally sounds the alarm in your mind, and you realize that what your eyes have captured before is not an illusion.
The torture technique clenched the mountain knife in his hand, slowly turned around, and looked at the underside of the wreckage he had just walked through, that is, directly below Tan Tong who was in a high place, and Yan Gang, who was stepping on the iron chain, also looked slowly in the direction of the wreckage along the extension of the iron chain, and then the two of them found at the same time through the strong light of the flashlight that there was a strange man wearing a tattered hat and a cloak made of rags, with a fist in his left hand hanging down, and a simple knife in his right hand!
The two of them were shocked and stunned, and Tan Tong above the strange man's head was still unknown, he waved his hand at the two of them, realized that something was wrong, so he climbed up again, climbed to the top, leaned over to look down, and when he saw the strange man sitting below, because of the shock, his hands trembled, and knocked off a piece of wreckage iron sheet - the iron sheet fell directly and smashed on the strange man's hat!
The moment he hit the strange man, the breathing of the three of them, Torture Shu, Yan Gang, and Tan Tong all stopped, and then the strange man slowly raised his head and looked in the direction above his head.
When Tan Tong made eye contact with the strange man, he saw that the man's face was dead gray, and there was still a little iron blue in some places, and most importantly, the strange man's eyes were red, as if boiling blood had been tumbling in his eye sockets.
Tan Tong was completely stupid, at this time, his mind was already blank, and the strange man below suddenly stood up, grabbed the Pu knife in his hand and stabbed it directly upward!
"Cannon King! Dodge! Seeing that the torture technique was not good, he immediately shouted, and Yan Gang on one side also shot a crossbow arrow at the red-eyed strange man.
Seeing that the tip of the knife was about to be stabbed into Tan Tong's face, Tan Tong felt that someone had dragged him, and then he lost his balance and leaned back, directly avoiding the blow, and when Tan Tong reacted, he had already fallen to the other end of the wreckage of the plane, and he could clearly see that it was no one else who dragged him down, it was Samuchuan!
"You ......" As soon as Tan Tong said a word, Samuchuan immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, and at the same time put a finger to his mouth, shaking his head nervously at him, signaling him not to make a sound.
On the other side, the torture technique and Yan Gang were even more shocked at this time, because the crossbow arrow that Yan Gang shot earlier had hit the man's shoulder, but the man seemed to be completely unaffected, and then Yan Gang fired three more crossbow arrows, two of which hit his chest and the last one hit his abdomen, but even so, the strange man still looked up at the position where Tan Tong was before, shaking his body slightly, as if those crossbow arrows were just air to him.
"What is this?" Yan Gang couldn't help but shudder, as a soldier, he knew the power of this crossbow in his hand, at least two of the four crossbow arrows pierced the person's body, and at least one of them shot into his lungs, normally speaking, the person should have fallen a long time ago.
After Yan Gang finished speaking, the strange man suddenly looked back at him, his head sticking out in Yan Gang's direction.
Realizing something, the torture technique immediately turned off the shoulder lamp and the headlamp, and Yan Gang immediately did the same, and the two of them immediately closed their eyes at the same time, so that their eyes could quickly adjust to the darkness around them.
A few seconds later, the two of them opened their eyes and saw that the incendiary rod that Tan Tong had dropped in the left corner was still shining, but the strange man's attention was not focused there, but instead slowly walked towards Yan Gang's position with heavy steps.
As the strange man walked, the two of them realized that the iron chain under his feet was indeed tied to the ankle of one of the strange man's feet, and then separated from the end of the simple knife held by the strange man's right hand.
"Run......" Seeing that the strange man with crossbow arrows on his body was getting closer and closer, the torture technique whispered, signaling Yan Gang to run quickly, but as soon as he finished speaking, the monster that had already approached suddenly moved towards the direction of the torture technique, and at the same time walked towards the position of the torture technique, raised his head wearing a hat, and sniffed around like an animal.
At that moment, the torture technique almost touched the monster's face, he held his breath and stood there, not daring to move, Yan Gang beside him could only look at it from the corner of his eye, and he also didn't dare to breathe, and at the same time, he could vaguely see the strange man's dead face with dead ashes through the extremely faint light, as well as the strange smell from his body.
At this time, two words popped up in the minds of the two at the same time - zombies!
At the same time that the word zombie came out of the mind of the torture technique, he recalled the story that Yuan Zhenba said, "The word zombie was also replaced by the word "listening to the foot", at this time he almost decided that the strange person in front of him should be the one in the story of Yuan Zhenba, those people who took the "otherworld" miracle medicine and died, that is, the zombies that are considered by the world.
Since it is Tingzu, then it must be controlled by the corpse chaser, but no one in front of him is controlling him, wait, the chains on his feet...... When Xingshu thought of this, he couldn't hold it back, he raised his hand and touched Yan Gang, his eyes rolled, staring at the direction they came, carefully raised his hand, and raised three fingers, meaning: After my fingers change from three to one, let's pull out our legs and run there.
The intention of the torture technique was completely due to the fact that the iron chain should be able to contain the ears in front of him, so that he and Yan Gang should be rescued.
Just when the three fingers of the torture technique turned into two, Samuchuan suddenly appeared at the top of the wreckage, raised a piece of iron sheet and smashed it towards the back of the hearing foot, attracting the attention of the hearing foot, and shouted at the two torturers: "Run back!" Fast! Fast! ”
After Samuchuan finished speaking, he turned around and slid back again, sliding to Tan Tong's side, while Xingshu and Yan Gang both pulled their legs and ran wildly in the direction they came, and after making peace with Samuchuan and Tan Tong, they didn't care about asking anything, and the four of them all looked at the left side of the wreckage, staring at it while retreating.
Sure enough, when the man appeared with a knife and tried to walk in their direction, he was restrained by the chain, and had to pull the chain desperately, unable to move forward at all.
"What is this!?" Tan Tong finally couldn't help but ask, "It's a zombie, right?" ”
Samuchuan lowered his voice and said: "Don't make a sound, this thing is blind, he can't see us, he can only rely on listening and feeling!" ”
Yan Gang turned his head to look at Samuchuan: "You know this thing?" ”
Samuchuan didn't answer, and the torture technique slowly retreated backwards: "Stand back, retreat to the entrance and exit where we came down, and wait until it is safe." ”
The four then turned to keep a relative silence and walked slowly towards the entrance, but each of them turned back almost once in three steps, fearing that the auditory foot would break free from their chains and catch up.
At the top of the labyrinth, he waited anxiously for a long time, and he Chenxue, who didn't see Xu You come back, tried to hold on to the stone pillar and leave slowly, Yuan Zhenba saw that the situation was not good, so he had to step forward to stop her, when Yuan Zhenba rushed to He Chenxue's side and pressed her shoulder, He Chenxue couldn't help but scream, Yuan Zhenba had to cover her mouth and whispered: "Don't scream, it's me, Yuan Zhenba!" ”
After saying this, He Chenxue slowly calmed down and nodded slightly......
He Chenxue's scream did not reach the ground, but dozens of meters away, Xu You, who was still looking for the entrance and exit with special rules, heard it clearly, at first he looked back nervously, and when he was about to try to return, He Chenxue's scream stopped, he stopped, showed a meaningful smile, turned around and continued to search.
At the other end, He Chenxue's scream made He Yuejia, who was already in a state of confusion, wake up suddenly, and reached out to grab Fan Meng, who was supposed to be guarding her next to her, but this grab was empty, He Yuejia immediately opened her eyes and looked around, but she didn't see any trace of Fan Meng, and couldn't help but open her mouth and call his name in a voice that was neither high nor low.
But Fan Meng didn't answer, and the silence around was terrifying, He Yuejia involuntarily looked up at the sky, and subconsciously raised her hand to look at the watch, but because her eyes couldn't see too closely, she couldn't see the pointer on the watch clearly at all, and could only judge from the position of the light and the sun, and soon the sun would set.
"Fan Meng?" He Yuejia shouted again, no one answered, she struggled to stand up with the stone pillar behind her, looked around, but did not dare to take another half step, because there were many mechanisms here, and now she had stepped on one foot in the coffin, and she didn't know what would happen when she took another step.
At this time, Fan Meng was at a rock ten meters away, looking at the strange symbols on it, and on the ground behind him, there were traces he had drawn with stones, and he could return the same way along these traces, which was much more convenient than using ropes.
But he was in a hurry to leave this ghost place, and he didn't know that there was now a tall black shadow that had enveloped He Yuejia, who was in horror and helplessness.
