Chapter 273 The Pursuit Behind You

Hearing this voice, I believe everyone will involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.

Even Arrow involuntarily let go of the hand that had been holding tightly at this moment, and the expression that had always been tight was also relaxed at this moment......

Bumper ——!

A loud bang, accompanied by the blasting of the walls.

Before the huge stone could fully bounce off, in the darkness, a huge claw entered through the cracked wall and swept through!

The two civilians asleep against the wall didn't even wake up in time, their faces sliced to pieces by the sharp claws. As the blood erupted into a thick fog in this darkness, the huge claw was quickly retracted, and a huge figure was also constantly impacting the hole at this moment!

In an instant, the rest room, which had just seemed very quiet, was filled with the screams of those civilians!

Brad was the first to act, directly raising the shield in his hand and rushing to the hole, holding the long sword in his hand and waiting for it! Cocoa and Cream on the side also quickly lit the torches, making the battle environment bright!

But what awaited Brad was not the next giant claw, but silence. Just as everyone's eyes were once again focused on the hole, the footsteps outside the door began to quickly shift to the door of the lounge! With a loud bang, the door was torn apart in an instant, and another huge claw reached in from the outside, grabbing directly at the whiskey near the door!

"Drink!"

As a retired soldier, the strength of whiskey naturally won't let him die under this claw so easily. He raised the sword in his hand and slammed it into the giant claw, and the sharp blade slashed very smoothly before the claw arrived, cutting a bloody streak on the back of the giant claw's hand.

But just when the polyester behind him also wanted to come up to help, the giant claw shook violently, and the powerful force slammed into Whiskey's chest, knocking him out along with the weapon. There was only a sound of sound, and Whiskey's sword was bounced off, and he clutched his chest, squatting on the ground with some difficulty.

"Damn it! You're not dead, are you?! ”

Polyester shouted, quickly lunged towards the arm, raised his sword and was about to slash down. But as if sensing something, the giant claw quickly retracted and disappeared out of the door!

Immediately after, there was a sound of rapid and rapid footsteps, which quickly left the passageway, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

In the lounge, everyone was still waiting, on guard.

The cries and howls of fear from the civilians continued one after another, without the slightest pause.

Arrow tugged at the edge of the sleeping bag in his hand, the sweat in his palm made him feel like he had been baptized.

It wasn't until a long time had passed that the president realized that he had just stopped breathing. If it weren't for the sudden suffocating pain in his chest, he felt that he might really be suffocated and fainted.

Maybe...... Would it really be better to bring Napa? Although Arrow had never seen the true strength of that monster since he met, it was so confident, and with it, maybe it could really prevent a lot of accidents?

At that moment, the thought crossed Arrow's mind.

It's a pity that it's only a fleeting thing.

After waiting for a long time, the monster's footsteps never seemed to come closer. Arrow then crawled out of his sleeping bag and said in a slightly nervous tone, "It's okay, everyone's okay." The monster is gone. ”

Hearing Arrow's judgment, all the combatants relaxed their vigilance slightly.

In the light of the fire, Arrow was able to see the smashed hole and the bodies of the two civilians who had unfortunately died. Such a bloody scene made the civilians on the side cry in fright, especially the two children, who were now even more frightened and shrunk in their mother's arms, and did not dare to move at all.

Brad put away his weapon, walked up to Arrow and asked worriedly, "President, what next?" Are we still going to rest here? ”

Arrow thought for a moment, then looked at the others around him. All but a few who had a nervous breakdown looked at themselves.

After a moment of silence, Arrow shook his head and said, "We can't wait like this, we have traveled overnight, hoping to get out of here before dawn." We don't know if the monster is coming at us or not, but it should have sensed that we still have a lot of live prey here, and the chances of turning back again are high. ”

No one could oppose Arrow's proposal, and no one would dare to oppose it.

Looking at the eyes of all of them, who were all relying on him, Arrow suddenly had a very heavy feeling.

Responsibility for escaping from here with these civilians...... I don't know when it fell on my shoulder?

It turned out that there were so many lives on his shoulders, so many feelings of hope and despair...... It could be so heavy...... With the slightest carelessness, Arrow felt himself overwhelmed by the fiery gaze of these people.

What happens if you make the wrong decision?

What if you take them on a walk in the night, and then meet those ghouls who have become stronger with their fighting power in the night?

What if we left this familiar area and encountered the monster again in another completely unfamiliar place?

If one of my own mistakes in decision-making caused so many fresh lives here to disappear in an instant...... What should I do?

"Pack your things and let's go."

Arrow wanted to keep his smile on his face, but this stiff smile only made everyone worry. He shook his head, but finally let his face become heavy, as if to give courage to those behind him, took the torch from Brad's hand, and walked out of the lounge first.

Leave the rest area and continue your journey forward in the staff quarters area.

The sound of a waterfall in the distance is sometimes near, sometimes far away. It doesn't feel very real.

The mermaid's song takes the lead, with polyester supporting whiskey at the back of the crowd. Although Whiskey's movement is a little inconvenient now, he still stubbornly holds the weapon in his hand.

All the way up, all the way up......

Arrow, too, was constantly looking at the map in his hand, studying whether the route under his feet was correct.

Then, when the team came to a dividing line that divided into upper and lower branches......

Iero looked at the map for a moment, hesitated, and at the same time looked up at the upward stairs and downward ramps.

Finally, he took a step towards the ramp and led the group onwards.

The crowd continues to be in action.

The torches shimmered in the darkness with an unreal light, illuminating an area that was only a dozen paces in front of and behind the crowd.

Before you know it, the ramp, which looked like a relatively wide slope, began to get narrower and narrower. From the original space where four or five people could stand side by side, it was later changed to only allow two people to move sideways and shoulder to shoulder.

Such a small space made the civilians behind them seem a little uneasy, and what made these civilians start to talk quietly was the path that everyone was taking now.

This road, since the beginning of the fight, has been extending downward.

The voices of civilians began to spread through the darkness. Although each of them tried to speak close to their ears, there was still something harsh in the silence.

Hearing the discussion of the crowd behind, Coco couldn't help but step forward, gently pulled Arrow's sleeve and said, "Brother President...... Everyone is tired...... After a day of walking, and now I am frightened again...... Are you sure you're on the right track? We seem to ...... It's going down, ......."

Arrow put away the map in his hand, tried to put a smile on his face, and said, "Well, don't worry, we're following the right route now, no problem." ”

Although Arrow said that there was no problem, it was inconvenient for the members of Merfolk Song to speak again. But this route of continuing to move down still made the old man feel a little uneasy, and he stepped forward and asked softly, "President Arrow, although I trust your judgment, are you really sure that we are not on the wrong path?" We seem to be going downhill all the time. I even feel like we're a little lower now than we were when we first met. ”

The question was clearly addressed to the civilians, and they all shut up and listened quietly to Arrow's answer to the question.

Arrow looked back at the suspicious and longing looks on the men's faces.

Be! Everyone has the desire to survive, and in the face of danger, everyone has a self-judgment about the desire to survive. I believe that these civilians now, even this old Mr. Stein, think that they should go up to really be safe.

Arrow thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know you may be a little strange. But think about it, in addition to escaping from here as soon as possible, we also have to dodge the monster's attack. The monster's physique must have been seen by everyone, and it was only in this narrow area that it couldn't get in. So, while our current path may indeed be a bit of a detour, we are guaranteed to absolutely dodge the monster's attack. So please have a little confidence and don't worry too much. ”

The civilians thought about it, and the look of doubt that appeared on their faces just now was also suppressed a little. After all, everyone knows how powerful that demonic beast is, and whether this path is correct or not, it is absolutely feasible to at least use it to guard against that demonic beast.
