The bumpy and tiring journey, coupled with the fight with those monsters, has been in a state of high mental tension, and to be honest, I am already feeling quite tired. Although the Taoist priest had recovered from it, after discussing it, we decided to continue to rest in place, after all, it was rare to find a relatively safe place.

I looked at the time and saw that it was only about nine o'clock. The Taoist priest patted me and said that I was the most tired driving all the way, and asked me to sleep with Lin Qiaoer for a while, and he was in charge of guarding. I was so sleepy that I didn't excuse myself, but it wasn't a good place to sleep, the temperature was already very low at night in late autumn, and the tunnels were dark and damp, and I really regretted that I didn't bring a bed blanket from my room just now.

Thinking about it, I was so tired that I didn't care whether it was uncomfortable or not, and I quickly fell asleep leaning against the steel plate of the iron frame. Maybe it was the twists and turns of the past few days, or maybe the environment was so bad, I couldn't sleep very well this night, and the nightmare repeated. It's still the misty ghost lake, it's still the eight people, but this time the perspective has changed to the second master, and when the Taoist priest woke me up, I was soaked in cold sweat.

The Taoist priest frowned and asked me, "What's the matter with you?" I've been shaking all the time, and my body is burning like a fire, is it a nightmare? ”

Lin Qiao'er didn't know when she woke up, and she was wiping the sweat on my face with a damp cloth, looking worried.

I breathed a sigh of relief, said don't worry, I'm getting the same old problem, and asked me how long they had been sleeping. The Taoist priest gave me a meaningful look and didn't ask anything more. Lin Qiaoer said that I had slept for seven hours, and the first four hours were fine, but when it came to one o'clock, I suddenly started to tremble, and then kept talking nonsense, and my body temperature was rising. The Taoist priest saw that I wanted to wake me up like this, but it was useless, and there was no way, so the Taoist priest called her up. But she didn't know what my situation was, and after tossing for a while, she asked the Taoist priest to sleep for a while, and she came to guard and take care of me by the way.

After sitting and sleeping for seven hours, my body was so sore that I was almost unconscious, especially my legs. I relented and talked to them about what to do next.

The movement above my head was gone, and I don't know if the monsters were gone. There are two choices in front of us, one is to sneak up and see if the monsters are gone, and if they do, we have to find a way to find gas, and then go back to the car and drive away from this hellish place.

Of course, there must be two prerequisites for this choice, one is that the monster above is gone, and the other is that we can find gasoline. But I always felt that it wasn't that simple, and it was definitely not that easy for us to get out of town.

As for the second option, it is to follow these unknown tunnels to see if you can leave the town. Even if we can't get out of town, we'll be much safer as long as we get out of this densely populated area, and we'll find a way to do it when the time comes.

I analyzed the situation in front of me, and the Taoist priest immediately spoke: "Dao Ye firmly supports the second choice, I fought with those monsters just now, whether it is strength or agility, they are much more powerful than the walking corpses in the forest of Aji Village. The most terrible thing is that these monsters seem to have intelligence, they know how to use weapons, and they also pick out the most fatal places to attack, if they are against three or four, the Taoist can still cover it, and if there are more, they can only wait for death. ”

What the Taoist priest said was the truth, and there was one thing he didn't say, with his skills, even if he couldn't beat him, he could still run, but now he still has to take care of me, a half-crippled person with a wasted hand, and Lin Qiao'er, whose combat effectiveness is basically negligible, even if he has great powers, he can't take it into account!

In this way, it will definitely not work to break out, so you can only take one step at a time.

Once the three of us were in agreement, we began to prepare for action. First of all, I also have a self-defense weapon, originally I also had an electric baton, but it had fallen on the street in the chaos just now, but fortunately we found a lot of steel pipes around the iron frame, which should be left over from the welding of the iron frame, the length is just right, strong enough, and not too heavy.

Each of us picked one of the handy, and the problem of weapons was solved. Then there's the lighting, we have a flashlight and a desk lamp, and the phone doesn't have a signal here, but it can be used as a flashlight. After last night's tossing, the light of the desk lamp has become much weaker, and I think it should be about to run out of power. However, that flashlight is a special wilderness travel flashlight, which can be drop-resistant and waterproof, and can be continuously illuminated for 48 hours in normal light mode after being fully charged.

Then there is food, when we left Aji Village, the enthusiastic villagers gave us a lot of special game jerky, we took all the original compressed biscuits to the car, and packed a whole backpack with our backs, but when we left the car, we only brought more expensive equipment and some necessities, although the jerky also brought some, but it was only enough for the three of us to eat for a day. It's a problem, but it's not urgent, and we're at the end of the day, so we can take the risk of going into the houses and looking for it, and we'll always find something to eat in the big town.

In addition, I have learned from my previous experience that cameras and video cameras are also good self-defense equipment at critical times. In dark environments, the camera's flash can temporarily blind what strikes us, buying us time, while the camera's night vision allows us to see our surroundings without the use of a light source.

I tidied up my backpack and found that these things were still of some use, so I threw the rest of the miscellaneous things on the iron platform, and then the Taoist priest took the lead, I padd, Lin Qiaoer walked in the middle, and the three of them walked into the narrow tunnel.

I don't know what this tunnel is used for, it is all made of bricks and stones, and the ground has been watered with cement, and there is some standing water. There will be a tunnel in the tunnel every other distance, connected to an iron platform, which looks a bit like an underground drainage pipe, but if this is a drainage system, why build that kind of iron platform?

Less than five meters after we walked through, we came across a fork in the road. There were three forks in total, and at this time I didn't know where each fork led to, so the Taoist priest chose the one that went straight at random. After walking less than a hundred meters, there were two forks in front of me, and I began to be vigilant, in case this tunnel is a huge labyrinth, the further we go, the more forks there are, then wouldn't it be easier for us to get lost?

The Taoist priest obviously thought of this as well, and hesitated to know whether to continue or not.

At this moment, Lin Char suddenly said: "It's okay, keep walking, I can remember the route we have taken, even if the front is not clear, we can go back." ”

The Taoist priest chose the fork on the right and walked in, and sure enough, after walking not far, there was another fork in the road. In this reciprocating cycle, I soon became dizzy, and these forks looked similar, and when I walked to the end, I was a little skeptical that these forks had already been passed.

Fortunately, after continuing to walk for a short time, we heard the sound of running water in front of the road, which seemed to be a river!

Before entering Fengyang Town, we saw the whole picture of the town on the winding mountain road. The terrain of the basin where the town is located is like a phoenix's eye, and one of the wide rivers crosses from the east side of the phoenix's eye, and the east side is the place where the houses gather, and it is also the main body of the town, and the west can only be regarded as the outskirts of the city, and we enter the town from the east side.

That is, we have been on the east side of the basin all along, and now we hear the sound of flowing water, there are two possibilities. One is that this tunnel has an exit in the town near the river, which is unlikely, because if the exit is in the town, there will definitely be some monsters breaking into the tunnel, but we have been safe all the way, which means that there are no monsters breaking in.

The second possibility is what we expect, and it is also the most likely. The tunnel has reached the end of the town, where it has been cut off by the river, and if this is the case, it means that we have left the most dangerous part of the town.

After continuing to walk for more than 20 meters, the tunnel reached the end, and there was some sparse light at the end, and the sound of the river became clearer and clearer!

We rushed over, and when we looked at it, it was exactly what I expected. I saw countless unknown vines wrapping around the exit, and the dense fog outside had cleared somewhere, and the weather had improved, and a little starlight spilled in through the gaps between the vines. Through the gap, you can vaguely see the gloomy mountains and forests outside, and the shimmering water below the exit.

I just wanted to pluck those vines, the Taoist priest suddenly grabbed me, I felt strange, just wanted to ask, I saw him make a silent gesture, lowered his voice and pointed outside: "Don't talk, you listen!" ”

Seeing him like this, I hurriedly listened to it, and sure enough, I heard a voice nearby, and the tone of the voice was very strange, it felt like a spell shouted from the mouth of those dancing gods, but the sound of the river was too loud to hear clearly.

We approached the vines, carefully opened a gap and looked outside, and saw a large bonfire burning on the beach on the other side of the river below us, next to the bonfire was a stone monument more than three meters high, and a group of people were kneeling down to the stone monument around the bonfire, as if they were worshipping.

Because of the darkness of the night and the light of the fire, we could only see roughly what was going on there, and what struck me was that there was a wooden cross in front of the kneeling people, and on that wooden frame seemed to be tied to a person, and it was a young girl.

"What are these people doing?" Lin Qiao'er asked subconsciously.

The Taoist priest frowned and looked, and at this moment, a man with a disheveled head, strangely dressed, and a pair of horns on his head stood up from the kneeling crowd, holding a scepter-like thing in his hand. He waved the scepter and jumped wildly, and there was a strange sound from his mouth that we had heard before, and the scepter in his hand pointed sharply at the girl on the cross, and five strong men stood up in the crowd to carry the cross! Seeing this, the Taoist priest's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "It's not good, these damn people seem to be preparing human sacrifices!" ”
