Chapter Twenty-Six: The Egg in the Wall

readx(); While the black monster roamed the labyrinth, Nguyen Renxiong, Lee Woo Sung and Jung Dong Xiang had just escaped from the hands of death When the black mass appeared in an instant, enveloping the two mercenaries in front of them as spearheads, they began to shoot wildly, pouring bullets from their guns towards the unknown monster.

After the three of them emptied each of their magazines, Ruan Renxiong, who was standing by the wall, picked up his flashlight and shone it ahead, trying to see what the black mass that suddenly appeared earlier was.

However, when the flashlight shone forward, the three of them only found that only one mercenary was lying there, and the rest of the person was nowhere to be seen.

Li Yucheng and Zheng Dongxiang each threw two glow sticks forward, squatted on both sides and observed for a while, and then slowly stepped forward one left and one right, while Nguyen Renxiong stood behind with a gun to cover.

Nguyen Renxiong looked ahead, looking back behind him from time to time, at the intersection behind him, worried that something would pop up there.

Li Yucheng finally walked up to the mercenary, and Zheng Dongxiang immediately stood against the wall, half-crouching there to cover him.

Li Yucheng observed the mercenary's corpse, but found that the corpse had been shot at least a dozen times, that is, one-third of the bullets they had tilted out earlier had hit the poor guy.

"Strange." Li Yucheng raised his eyes and looked around, and then looked at the ground carefully, the three of them clearly saw that the two companions were wrapped in a black thing that suddenly appeared, and one of them also let out a scream, which caused them to react a little overly and shoot directly.

Li Yucheng raised his hand to beckon Ruan Renxiong to step forward, Ruan Renxiong looked back again, and then slowly ran over, and after stepping forward to see the cause of the person's death, he was also stunned, not understanding what was going on.

Ruan Renxiong half-squatted there and watched, and only said for a long time: "Maybe we were poisoned and hallucinated?" Last time in South America, I was also hit, and if I hadn't reacted quickly and immediately fell down when I heard the gunshot, I would have been killed by other people who were hallucinating. ”

Zheng Dongxiang on one side said: "It can't be an illusion, if so, where did the other person go?" ”

Li Yucheng also agreed, and then shone a flashlight on the ground and said, "Look, what is the black colloidal on the ground?" ”

Ruan Renxiong looked at it carefully, picked up some of it with a dagger, looked at it carefully, and shook it off: "I don't know, it looks like some kind of reptile left body fluids." ”

Zheng Dongxiang shook his head and said: "Impossible, no reptile is like that, you have also seen it, a big cloud, like a black fog, if it is not a black fog, if it is not a substance, how can our bullets hit all our own people!" ”

Ruan Renxiong nodded: "Makes sense, what could it be?" Ghost? ”

After the word ghost was spoken, Li Yucheng and Zheng Dongxiang were stunned for a moment, and then they both shook their heads.

"I don't believe in ghosts either, if there were, we'd have encountered them all these years." Ruan Renxiong gritted his teeth and said, "However, I do believe that there is an unexplained phenomenon, I still remember that time in South America, we encountered a kind of bee, a very small bee, the whole body is golden, after covering the surface of the human body, the kind of bee will die immediately, and the surrounding high temperature will change, and the person will be directly sealed inside and suffocated, so far we don't know what kind of bee it is." ”

Li Yucheng got up: "You want to say that what we saw earlier may be an insect?" ”

"Not necessarily." Nguyen Renxiong put the dagger back into its sheath, "I suggest we go back, no matter what trap Guan Manshan sets on the way back, at least it is man-made, it can be confirmed with both eyes, and it is better to untie it with both hands than to die here without knowing it, what do you think?" ”

Zheng Dongxiang looked at Li Yucheng and said, "Brother, I agree with him this time, this place is too weird, and besides, our original task was to kill Guan Manshan." ”

Li Yucheng thought in his heart: Our original task was to collect evidence of the crime.

"Okay." Li Yucheng also agreed to Nguyen Renxiong's proposal, because no matter what their ultimate goal is, the premise is to save their lives.

The three of them got up and walked towards the path they had come, and not long after they left, the black mass wriggled again and fell from the ceiling, directly covering the mercenary's corpse, and then squirmed away, leaving only dense black colloidal traces on the ground.

At this time, the four groups in the dungeon, except for the torture group, the other three groups all tried to leave the dungeon and return to the previous tunnel, which now became the end of their life and the last hope.

It was also at the same time that the other three groups of people realized in their hearts that they had never been hunters, but were completely prey, prey to unknown monsters in the dark.

Mikhail and Vladimir walked slowly along the wall, becoming more cautious because they had seen the corpse and knowing full well that something was there.

On the other hand, the two of the White Group's Zaraka and Sergei also took action, but the clever Zaraka tried to make sense of the damn labyrinth by brute force, and he began to chisel the walls of the cell with the hammer and shovel he had brought.

Panting, Sergei put down the shovel in his hand, looked at Zaraka, who was still wielding the hammer, and asked: "Does this work?" Originally, you brought these things with you for this kind of thing? ”

Zaraka stopped, looked at Sergei and said: "My father was an ordinary construction worker before he became a real estate tycoon, and after I chose to go underground, I knew very well that in a place like below, there are tools that are much more useful than weapons, this is a labyrinth, and the maze is to seal people inside with a wall, if you have the tools to break the walls of the maze, you can leave in a straight line, although it takes a bit of effort, but the walls here are much softer than I imagined." ”

Yes, the walls are very "soft", and after smashing them, you can find that, in addition to a layer of green ash on the surface, the inside is just an ordinary brick wall, after all, in those days, there could be no such thing as reinforced concrete.

After the brick wall was smashed open, Zaraka found that there was only dirt behind him, and he had a smile on his face.

Sergei was a little discouraged: "Zaraka, if we dig like this, how long will we have to dig?" We only bring food and water for three days, and after three days, we have to starve to death, which is a foolish solution. ”

Of course, Zaraka knew that this was a stupid method, but it was also the safest way he could think of, after all, he had calculated the approximate distance all the way, knew the general direction they were coming from, and he was bent on the idea that where there is a will, there is a way, of course, if the others are still alive, everyone will use this method to dig together, take turns digging, take turns to rest, this level of brick walls and dirt, maybe it will not take three days.

Zaraka took Sergei's shovel and began to dig into the soft soil, saying as he went: "Do you know why your father was an alcoholic, and my father was a successful real estate businessman?" The reason is very simple, it is because your father is looking forward to luck falling from the sky, while my father is down-to-earth and step by step. ”

Sergei was a little angry: "Zaraka, I don't like these words you say, you have no respect for my father!" ”

Zaraka continued to dig: "It's not disrespectful, I'm completely insulting your father. ”

When Zaraka dug down with another shovel, Sergei grabbed him: "What did you just say? ”

Zaraka pushed Sergei away: "You know exactly what I'm talking about, you piece of shit, I thought you were smart, but you turned out to be as stupid as your drunkard father!" ”

"Zaraka, you ......" As soon as Sergei had said a few words, a round pile fell out of the excavated dirt, which fell to the ground and immediately shattered, from which a lot of yellowish liquid flowed.

Zaraka put down the shovel and shone a flashlight on the ground, and then in the dirt behind the wall, he found that there was a hollow between the mud layer behind the wall and the brick wall opposite, which was the main reason why he felt that the soil was so soft, and more importantly, there were still a lot of such round things in the mud layer between the two walls.

Sergei squatted down and stretched his head and looked: "What is this?" ”

Zaraka also squatted down and looked at it carefully: "It's an egg, an animal egg." ”

"Snake!" Sergei immediately remembered, "I watched an American documentary, and this must be the egg of a snake!" ”

Zaraka shook his head: "It's a bit like, but it's too small, isn't it?" If you look closely, an egg is no bigger than a thumb nail, where is such a small snake egg? Smaller than a quail egg. ”

Sergei leaned closer to the wall and looked: "I don't think we should dig it, no matter what kind of egg it is, we have already dug into some kind of animal's nest, let's run away." ”

Zaraka nodded, grabbed his backpack, and escaped from the cell with Sergey, and after running for a while, Zaraka stopped, put on his night vision goggles and said, "Wait, I want to see what the hell it is." ”

Sergei lowered his voice and said: "Are you crazy!?" ”

"Don't forget, what the corpse of the blue team found by the red team looks like." Zaraka pressed against the wall, looking towards the cell that had come out earlier, "If we can know what that thing is, we might know what to do with it, because I have a hunch that we will all meet sooner or later." ”

Sergei clenched his weapon and stood beside him, he was very conflicted, he wanted to run, but he didn't dare to run, in such a ghost place, acting alone, the survival rate would be reduced a lot, so he finally had to put on a night vision device, look left and right, and try to calm himself down.

Zaraka was actually very nervous, he carried his weapon, looked over, turned back from time to time to catch his breath, and after waiting like this for ten or so minutes, he finally heard something.

When Zaraka poked his head out, he saw a black mass wriggling on the wall of the corridor on the right, which changed its form as it walked, but kept maintaining a posture of "holding on to the wall", as if the support of the wall would fall.

What the is that? Zaraka watched dumbfounded, waiting for a long time for the thing to walk into the cell with the smashed wall, and then grabbed Sergei next to him, and motioned for Sergei to look, although he grabbed Sergei's hand, Sergei did not react at all, and his arm seemed to be still shaking.

"Sergey, look at that thing!" When Zaraka turned his head, he saw a black hole in the muzzle, and at the same time found that Sergei also had a gun on his head.

Lian Jiuqi's pistol was aimed at Zaraka's head, and Mafei was aimed at Sergei, and the two took away the weapons and backpacks of the two young Russians.

The torture on the side dragged Zaraka away, stood in his previous position, and looked inside the cell with night vision devices, only to see that the black object actually burrowed directly into the smashed wall like a liquid.

Xingshu subconsciously rubbed his eyes, only to realize that he was wearing a night vision device, he immediately took it off, rubbed his eyes, and put the probe back on to look, but he didn't see anything.

Torture retracted his head and asked, "What the hell are you doing?" What was that just now? ”

Sergei couldn't say a word, just stared at the shotgun in Maffei's hand, he knew very well that if Maffei pulled the trigger, he would immediately turn into a puddle of flesh at this distance.

But Zaraka was not in a hurry, stretched out his hand to the torture technique, and said in English: "My name is Zaraka!" ”

Torture didn't shake hands with him, and Lian Jiuqi just asked the question of Torture again in Russian.

Zaraka understood this time, and calmly explained the previous plan, how to find those snake eggs, and worried about being retaliated by the "snake egg mother", so he left to hide here and peek in detail.

Although his Russian was quite good, there were a lot of slang and the like, but he didn't understand it too well, so Maffei had to give him a detailed translation.

Zaraka also realized that he should use the official language of Russia, so he said, "Yes, this young lady is right. ”

The torturer looked Zaraka up and down and asked, "What are your names?" ”

"My name is Zaraka, his name is Sergey, we have not killed anyone, we are also victims," Zaraka said. ”

Mafei put a gun to Sergei's head, looked at Zaraka and said: "I know why you are here, and I know very well whether you are perpetrators or victims, so everyone should be clear." ”

"I swear." Zaraka raised his hand and said, "We really didn't hurt anyone, it's true that we came to kill people in the beginning, but things have changed, and we have become victims, and so have you?" So, we have a common goal and a common enemy. ”

Xingshu shook his head and looked over there again: "Don't put gold on your face, I'm not the same as you!" ”

Ma Fei looked at Lian Jiuqi, Lian Jiuqi glanced at him, and asked the torture technique: "How to deal with them?" ”

Before he could answer, Sergei crossed his fingers and pleaded: "Don't kill us, don't kill us, please, don't kill us!" ”

Torture glanced at Ma Fei and nodded.

Maffei understood, pointed to the road where he came, and said: "You go back along this road, go forward about fifty meters, then turn left, go straight, until you reach the end, don't turn on the way, after the end, go to the right, go down ten meters, after you see the first intersection, turn left, then go to the next intersection and turn right, and then you stand there and you will see a rope tied to the railing of the prison, you can follow the rope, you can go to the entrance, which is the tunnel, and then you will be safe." ”

Sergei had a smile on his face: "Really? Thank you, thank you very much! Thank you! Thank you! ”

After saying that, Hilgai saw that Ma Fei was staring at the string of things that had been pulled from the dried corpse around his neck and was about to take them off, but Ma Fei stopped him and said, "I don't want dead people's things, let's go." ”

Sergei thanked him vigorously, pulled Zaraka and ran, and after the two ran out a few meters, Lian Jiuqi and Ma Fei stopped them again, threw their guns and backpacks at them, and the two nodded towards the torture and others, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Lian Jiuqi leaned against the wall and said in a low voice: "Let them go, don't regret it." ”

"Would it be useful to kill them?" Xingshu turned his head to look at Lian Jiuqi, "I'm angry, I'm angry, but I'm not stupid, if killing them would help my master, I would have done it a long time ago." ”

Maffei probed and looked: "What the hell is that?" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "I don't know, it's black, I can't see clearly, I don't know what it is, it's very large, the height is almost more than two meters, and the distance from the ground to the top is the same, the width has been changing, and the most terrifying thing is that that thing can go directly into the crack in the wall." ”

Lian Jiuqi frowned: "Drill into the crack in the wall!?" Are you kidding! Is that thing liquid? Or is it gaseous? ”

Torture sighed, "It doesn't look like it's a physical entity. ”

Ma Fei said next to him: "Now I have to believe that there is a ghost." ”

Torture shook his head: "I'll go over and take a look, you cover me." ”

"I'll go!" Lian Jiuqi didn't wait for the torture technique to take a step, he rushed out first, rushed to the side of the dungeon, looked carefully, and then slowly walked in with a gun, staring at the smashed wall, and looked down at the ground.

"Did you find it again?" Torture asked from a distance.

Lian Jiuqi squatted on the ground: "There is nothing on the ground, the snake eggs they said before are gone, but there are a little traces left, the pale yellow liquid, those snake eggs in the cracks in the wall are still there, and they are placed there in a good ......place."

Speaking of this, Lian Jiuqi suddenly shut up, because he heard the sound of something panting, as if it was coming from the dirt.

Seeing that Lian Jiuqi hadn't finished speaking, Ma Fei hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Shhhh

After approaching the wall, Lian Jiuqi really heard something breathing rhythmically inside, and he took a flashlight to shine at the dirt in the wall, only to find that there was nothing but the eggs and the countless holes in them.

"It's weird." Just when Lian Jiuqi was extremely puzzled, he suddenly looked up at the opposite wall and realized that it was not something in the wall that was panting, but the panting sound coming from the cell opposite.

After hearing it clearly, Lian Jiuqi slowly retreated, because he heard the panting sound getting heavier and heavier, and the wall in front of him also made the sound of something hitting him.

One, two, three...... The heavy sound of collision was heard clearly even by the torture technique and Ma Fei in the distance, and the two of them looked over and saw that Lian Jiuqi had already pulled out his legs and rushed towards this side, and at the same time, the wall in the cell was also directly broken, and a huge black shadow rushed out of it and rushed towards Lian Jiuqi.
