The group set off from the scissors ditch and walked towards the right front.

After walking for about forty minutes, we finally saw the fork of the river that Sami had mentioned.

Not far ahead, the river was divided in two by a large mountain, with a turbulent water on the left side and a relatively gentle one on the right.

Sammy looked left and right, then pointed to the branch on the right: "We're going to go that way in a moment, now let's find the little raft that the workers left here before, I remember it should have been near here before." Oh, it seems that if you walk more than ten meters ahead, you can see it if you turn a corner. ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and their steps couldn't help but be much faster.

After a few seconds, around a small bend, a simple hut made of planks and thatch appeared on the left.

When I got closer, there were a few coats worn by the workers.

Wrong!

Since there used to be workers here, then ......

As soon as I thought of a possibility, three or four rotting zombies quickly came out of the back of the thatched hut.

They smell the breath of the living and quickly pounce on us.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

At that moment, I, Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Sami took out their firearms at the same time, and shot them at the heads of those zombies.

After the gunshot, the zombies fell to the ground one after another, and they didn't even have time to touch our bodies.

It seems that we are not as scared of this rotten thing as we used to be, or rather, we are used to their existence.

Remembering the helpless look when I met zombies at the beginning, I couldn't help but smile and shake my head.

Just when I was in a daze, Zhang Qiang, Situ Cao, and Zhao Qiqi had already walked to the back of the thatched hut with De Luca.

"Hey, Gao Wei, what are you doing in a daze! Come here, we found two small bamboo rafts at the back of this shed, hurry over and help. Zhang Qiang's voice pulled my consciousness back to reality.

"It's coming!"

I answered, and walked briskly over.

I saw two small bamboo rafts obliquely buckled upside down at the back of the thatched shed, each bamboo raft was about four meters long and about one and a half meters wide.

By this time, Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Sami had already carried a bamboo raft towards the riverbank.

Seeing this, I hurriedly walked to another bamboo raft and carried it to the river with Zhang Qiang, Zhao Qiqi, and Situ Cao.

De Luca was in charge of bringing the two bamboo poles that held the boat.

After making all the preparations, everyone did not delay, and after pushing the bamboo raft into the water, they quickly stepped on it.

I, Zhao Qiqi, Zhang Qiang, and Situ Cao took the same bamboo raft, and Du Deming, Wang Yi, Sammy, and De Luca took the other one.

On our side, I'm in charge of rowing, and on Szao's side, Sammy is in charge.

Sammy looked up to the right, then pulled the pole and the raft slid towards the right as fast as it could.

Seeing this, I hurriedly propped up the bamboo pole and followed behind her.

Today's weather is a bit overcast, with a few black clouds still slowly moving in the direction we are heading.

It's going to rain, right?

I thought to myself.

However, since we are downstream of the river, we don't need to paddle hard, and we only need to control the direction of the raft a little.

I don't know if it's psychological, but I always feel that since I entered the right branch of the river, the surroundings have become much quieter, there are no insects, no birds, and even the sound of the wind has completely disappeared in an instant.

"Let's hope we can find the fragments and get out of here safely!" I sighed faintly and whispered.

Zhao Qiqi glanced at me: "The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, take it easy." ”

"That's right. Don't think about it so much. Zhang Qiang also said.

I nodded, and turned my gaze back forward.

After six or seven minutes, Sammy, who was in front of us, suddenly paddled the bamboo pole to the side, and then the raft headed for the shore on the right.

I quickly followed.

After more than ten seconds, we successfully reached the river bank on the right.

Sammy and the others stood by the river, and when we came ashore, she turned around and pointed not far behind her and said, "If I remember correctly, the underground passage should be in the bushes over there, because I remember my brother mentioned that there was a stone stained with red paint on the bank of the river next to the underground passage, and after going ashore, I walked forward for more than ten meters and found a stump engraved with the word 'ten', and the entrance was next to the stump." ”

"In that case, let's look for it now!" I said quickly.

So the people followed Sammy's description and went forward.

After walking for more than ten meters, our group immediately dispersed and began to look around for the stump engraved with the 'cross' mark.

In less than a minute, Zhang Qiang's voice came from the left.

"Hey, come and see! I think I've found the stump Sammy was talking about! ”

When everyone heard this, they all immediately ran towards Zhang Qiang's position.

We came to Zhang Qiang's side and looked down.

Sure enough, in the middle of the weeds, a stump of about half a meter stood there, with a crooked cross carved on the stump, which looked like it should have been some years old.

"Well, it looks like this stump. Let's look around, quick! My eyes lit up and I said immediately.

Within a few seconds, I heard Wang Yi whisper: "See, here!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately ran over.

In the grass, not far in front of the stump, there was a square metal cover.

The lid is already covered with moss and various weeds, and it looks like it hasn't been opened in a long time.

"Pry it open and see!" Du Deming said, and also squatted down.

"No problem!"

Wang Yi responded, and then put down the backpack.

Then, he quickly pulled a small pickaxe out of his backpack.

Aim the sharp end of the pickaxe at the gap in the metal cover and press down firmly.

With a soft thud, the lid was removed a palm-wide gap.

Seeing this, Du Deming and I immediately worked with Wang Yi to lift the lid and put it aside.

Then, we turned on the bracelet's lights at the same time.

Shine the light underneath.

Sure enough, an iron ladder stretched downwards inside.

It seems that no one has been here for a long time, so there is a layer of dark rust attached to the surface of the straight ladder, and there is a faint indescribable smell wafting from it.

Sammy leaned over to us and looked down.

"Well, that's right! It seems that this is it. Sammy said, turning his head to look at De Luca: "And what about this little guy?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, and then looked at my surroundings: "Or let him hide in the bushes nearby, and come back to him when we're done with everything!" ”

"That's all there is to it now!" Zhao Qiqi also nodded.

In this way, we let De Luca hide in the bushes nearby.

And since everyone calculated that it should take us less than ten minutes to complete the underground passage, and they needed even less time, the two groups agreed to start their respective actions on time after ten minutes.

After saying goodbye to Sammy, Wang Yi, and Du Deming, the three of them continued to ride on a bamboo raft and headed towards the mercenary stronghold.

A few of us quickly burrowed into the ground and began to move forward.
