Chapter 42: Caught in a Lost City
Su Xiaoting, who was sitting alone, felt a little dizzy, and many viewers passed by one after another, and in the midst of the noise, a few words of discussion inadvertently got into her ears.
“…… Holy, when Orton was thrown out, one of his legs was broken. I can see it clearly......"
"What's that, I didn't see that one of the beast's teeth came out of his body! ……”
Su Xiaoting's pupils shrank, and she suddenly felt a tumult in her stomach, she covered her mouth and rushed into the cleaning room on the other side.
Vomit~ Su Xiaoting spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water, but her stomach was still churning badly, so she had to support it with the washbasin. Because the wristband was wet, she casually removed it and set it aside.
Call...... When she couldn't vomit anymore, she finally felt better, walked to the side of the lounge, and pulled out a tissue to wipe the tears and water stains from her face.
Suddenly, she realized that Feng Xinglie couldn't find her, and she didn't know how anxious she was, so she rushed out in a hurry.
returned to the original place, but could not find the figure of Feng Xinglie.
Just as he was about to contact the other party, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came up and said with a smile: "Hello, you are Mr. Feng's companion, he is in a bit of a hurry, let me take you to him." ”
"Oh, well!" Su Xiaoting did not doubt him, and followed the other party to another exit.
The exit was at the back of the gladiatorial arena, but there were people walking nearby, and the teenager invited Su Xiaoting to get on a simple hovercar and drive towards a passage on the periphery of the square. As when they came, they were soon back in the narrow, dimly lit passageway.
After driving a certain distance, the car seemed to descend from a narrow slope to the next floor, and saw that the houses next to it were even more dilapidated than when they came, and there were no even enclosed iron plates, faintly revealing dusty furnishings inside. And the light overhead is even weaker, and the air seems to be stagnant.
"Where are you taking me?" Su Xiaoting asked a little nervously, regretting that she didn't confirm with Feng Xinglie first.
"Right ahead, Mr. Wind's friend seems to be in trouble. So don't be too conspicuous! Don't worry~" The boy explained with a smile.
When Su Xiaoting heard this, although she was still a little flustered, she thought that she still had the strength to deal with an adult now, so she planned to wait.
After a few more minutes, the car turned a few corners and finally stopped at a slightly brighter intersection.
"Alright, get out of the car!" On both sides of the road, there are some iron frames, and it seems that this place used to be a processing factory.
"Come with me!" The young man glanced back at Su Xiaoting and got out of the car first. Entering a nearby alleyway, Su Xiaoting followed hesitantly. Seeing the young man enter an open factory not far away, he hesitated for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and walked in.
The inside was not as spacious as expected, except for the rows of heavy machine tools, it seemed to be empty, Su Xiaoting walked quickly along the narrow passage. Until...... Walking to the other side of the factory, there is also an open doorway leading to the alley just now.
Su Xiaoting almost immediately realized that she had been fooled, and quickly ran back to the original road, and sure enough, when she returned to the intersection, she only saw the back of the young man on the hovercar in the distance.
"Wait!" Su Xiaoting chased after her, but after only 2 or 3 minutes, when she was in front of a fork in the road and could no longer hear a sound, she finally fell to the ground.
Who is it? To tease her so maliciously?
No, you have to hurry up and get in touch with Lie, the bracelet, no, the wristband, the wristband? …… Damn, I was left in the bathroom by myself, this is simply going to kill my own rhythm.
I didn't have time to be annoyed, and a violent panic swept over~
Thump! Thump! Plop Knock ......
In the dark and primitive corridor, except for the sound of his own heartbeat, there seems to be no noise to be heard. This invisibly amplified the sound of heartbeat several times, which made Su Xiaoting's spine feel an inexplicable chill, and in the next second, she almost uncontrollably got up, turned around and ran wildly towards the way she came.
Until...... When she saw the slightly bright intersection again, it was blank, and the brain in a state of panic was back running, and it turned out that the only thought left in her entire body just now was, light!
Yes, light! She does not want to be shrouded in darkness, not to be consumed by her own fears. She stumbled to the intersection, looked up at the little lights that were bigger and brighter than the others, and felt a little relieved and sober.
The teenager left her here and left, didn't he want to find her, or did he just want to scare her?
If he can come here, can others find it too?
They had just driven for about ten minutes, and it was 3 or 4 kilometers from the square, and she didn't have the courage to try to find her way back in this labyrinthine place, maybe the boy thought the same way, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to find here.
A few thoughts flashed quickly, Su Xiaoting looked at the lonely shadow under her feet, and fear began to spread in her heart again. She looked around, and finally walked to the outside of the factory she had entered, and slowly crouched down against the outer wall between the two doorways.
Not only because the walls here are made of materials similar to aluminum alloys, and there are no mottled rust stains. All the more because only this factory has been inspected by itself, and there is nothing to be afraid of in it.
She also picked up a metal frame more than half a meter long on the ground, held it tightly in her hand, and then tightened the trench coat on her body. Although she guessed that the person who framed her might still find this place if they wanted to hurt her further, it was better for her to be physically hurt than to be mentally devastated here. Now, even the most hateful person is incomparably cute in her eyes!
Alie, where are you?
Realizing that the other party is likely to be looking for aimlessly now, Su Xiaoting suddenly realized that she had to do something to let others find her as soon as possible. That's right! It is said that the dungeon is mainly made of metal, and if you can find a pipe to connect to the upper floor, will the sound be able to be heard?
She stood up and looked around, disappointed to find that she didn't know anything about the structure. But almost all houses or factories have the top connected to the ceiling. No matter, try it first!
Su Xiaoting mustered up her courage, picked up the metal bar in her hand, and struck it fiercely towards a slightly protruding iron pillar on the outer wall of the factory.
Nation! Nation! Nation!
The next moment, Su Xiaoting was so frightened that she hurriedly ran a few steps towards the light. The heart seems to be jumping out of the chest~ This voice ...... It's horrible! In this vast labyrinth of empty people, there are echoes circling back and forth, as if countless ghosts are roaring one after another.
What if it's really because of this noise...... She shuddered just thinking about it. Or, wait, wait, wait......
Su Xiaoting retracted back to her original place, her back pressed tightly against the wall, as if she wanted to squeeze herself into the crack. For a person who has to leave a light when he sleeps alone, and only jumps to a high place and screams when he sees cockroaches, this person who designed her can be said to have accurately hit her weakness.
After the echo stopped, Su Xiaoting did not gain a few minutes of silence, on the contrary, the suffocating silence was more overwhelming than the noise.
At both ends of the passage where she was, there was darkness at the end, and those dark shadows aroused the things that scared her the most in the depths of her memory, and even the hideous and ferocious sea monster just now hid in all corners and watched over her.
