Snow Ridge Lost Chapter 27 The End of the Tunnel
I said in my heart what kind of monster is your uncle, I hurriedly went to stop the bleeding, and the bloody mouth was cut by this jellyfish-like monster, and it took a while to tie it with the strip of cloth torn off my clothes.
I asked the fat man, who had already bandaged his wounds: "I said when did you find out that something was wrong?" ”
The fat man sighed: "You too, mine hinted at you a dozen times before you reacted." ”
I was depressed, when did you give me a hint, and then I thought about it, it seemed that he had done a few strange actions, but he was irritable and didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
I had to say: "Okay, okay, it's my carelessness." "But then I think about it, I still have a problem, seeing that these jellyfish-like things don't seem to be too aggressive, why don't the fat man just say it. I asked the fat man.
He sighed: "Actually, it's not a monster, I've heard of this thing before, and it often appears in swampy rainforests." It seems to be called a rainforest leech, which is roughly a distant relative of the leech. ”
"Even if it's a leech, it's just a little bigger, so there's no need to hide from it like you." Less than half a week ago, I was bitten by a leech on the leg, and then it wasn't okay.
The fat man rubbed the mucus on the soles of his feet, and looked disgusted: "The problem is that it's not an ordinary bug, I heard that this thing is evil." He's "damn" that it understands human speech. When the fat man said this, he was a little excited, and the scabbed wound on his face cracked again, so I asked him to slow down for a while and heal the wound before speaking slowly.
He swallowed violently, and his face twitched a few times, as if sweat had touched the wound.
"There was a mission in our organization in the Amazon basin that I didn't go to. In the rainforest, a few local porters landed on the road. The man was like crazy, and he said strange things in a voice that was not his own at all. The porter ran around as if he had changed into a different man. By the time a few more people grabbed him, they had all been sucked dry, and all that was left was dry skin and bones. As he spoke, the fat man turned his head and asked me to look at the back of his neck, and I saw a large circle of more than a dozen blue-purple seals.
"On the back of the neck of the porter's sucked corpse, there are also marks that are estimated to be similar to those on my neck now."
I couldn't help but be a little scared when I heard this, so I touched the back of my neck unnaturally. It turned out to be a little numb when touched, it seems that the rainforest leech may carry some paralyzing toxins, otherwise it would not feel anything if it would climb to the neck.
"When did you climb up?" I searched the walls of the cave. I'm afraid that there will be rainforest leeches crawling up again.
The fat man waved his hand: "If you leave the water, you will die soon without blood, there should be no here, we climbed up when we crossed the waterway, and I also found this thing on the back of my neck when I was itching my neck." ”
I was wondering if the numbness on the back of my neck would have any other side effects. Unintentionally, I saw Xue Ning looking straight at the tunnel in front of him,
He whispered, "What are you doing?" ”
He slowly stretched out a finger and made a silent motion, I don't understand what happened to this kid. But in this environment, it is better to be cautious, and do not make a sound, and the fat man saw the gesture I made to him, and he also ignored the meaning and lowered his breath.
There was silence in the tunnel, and I could clearly feel that there was a slow flow of air from the depths of the tunnel, which at least meant that the other end was connected to the outside world.
After listening quietly for a while, I noticed that there seemed to be no noise except for a slight wind sound, but the wind sound was a little strange. The fat man snorted, and I hurriedly told him to shut up. Pressed his ear to the tunnel wall.
The walls of the tunnel were cold, and I covered my other ear, and the noise disappeared immediately. Then I heard the sound of the tunnel being demolished.
Pop, snap, snap is like the sound of clogs stepping on the floor, and it's like a person in clogs walking deep in a tunnel. And it was a woman, because I could clearly recognize the sound of the clogs accompanied by the woman's laughter. I got goosebumps.
After a while, I wanted the fat man to listen, but it turned out that there was no need for it at all. The fat man was now pale, with his back to the depths of the tunnel, and now he didn't need to put his ear to the tunnel wall to hear the clogs walking and the strange laughter of the woman.
The light of the flashlight shone into the depths of the tunnel, and the light from this flashlight could reach a distance of more than 800 meters, but at this time, it seemed that in the farthest place where the light could shine, nothing could be seen. But the feeling of that sound is only coming from a distance of less than 100 meters.
"I ...... Let's go back! Xue Ning's voice was already a little hoarse.
I had already made a plan in my mind, going back to the stone chamber where I had come before, closing the stone door, and thinking of something else.
was about to leave, but the fat man shook his head: "I can't go back, there may be leeches in the waterway." ”
I was torn in my heart, this was really a dilemma, the voice from the tunnel in front of me, I already had a picture in my mind, a female ghost dressed like Sadako, wearing clogs, was walking towards us, and she kept laughing strangely. But behind us there are those terrifying bugs.
The fat man didn't make a sound after speaking, but just twisted his body around, as if he was looking for something. My voice trembled, in fact, most of the time I was frightened by myself, and I thought that it was only a sound coming from front of me, but I still couldn't control the trembling.
"How...... What to look for. ”
"The bug is gone." The fat man's voice was poignant. I looked around, and the two bugs that had been flattened and turned into a puddle of green water were still there, and which one of them was caught from Xue Ning's body was gone.
I instantly felt bad in my heart, so I touched my neck, but there was nothing behind my neck. The fat man exhaled: "I've seen it all a long time ago, no, we don't have it on us." It's not a fucking rainforest leech at all. ”
The fat man patted his head: "I'm careless, if it's really that kind of bug, if it is out of the water, it can't act on its own at all, and it would have died a long time ago." ”
The fat man shook his head violently: "I can't go back, I definitely can't go back." ”
I didn't have much fear of that kind of bug, but I was a little panicked when I saw the fat man's nervous appearance being carried by him. I think that no matter how powerful that insect is, it will at least have a physical presence, and it will definitely be afraid of death if it is alive. But what was in front of the tunnel was invisible, and I didn't even know what it was.
Xue Ning and I were afraid of the same things, but I was still on the fat man's side. It's not because I'm afraid of that kind of bug, it's just that even if we don't have bugs, we still don't have the slightest hope of survival. There is only one way left in front of us to move on, and I have to go.
Xue Ning was dragged by me. The sound of clogs and laughter in the tunnel became more and more ethereal to us, at first it was always in front of us, and after we walked a little bit, he began to come from every direction around us.
I put my ear to the ground and the wall was full of that weird sound. Every step Xue Ning took was like an electric shock, and his steps were difficult.
It was nearly three hours, and Xue Ning's flashlight was already dim, so he had to turn it off. The fat man was changed when we were under the roots, but it was not too bright, so he made it a little smaller, and he could probably show the appearance of ten meters.
We've been in the tunnel for at least six or seven hours, and we're all sleepy, and we think it's almost one o'clock in the morning. It's dark, and we're still in the tunnel, how long is this tunnel?
I don't know how long ago, the fat man's stomach started to ring. I was also hungry and had chapped lips, and now all I was thinking about was the chowder I had eaten before I set off yesterday, and suddenly I felt how that meal could be so fragrant, and it seemed that I had poured out the remaining little bit when I left, and I couldn't help but want to fan myself.
We are forced out of this state, otherwise we can rest for a while, but no one wants to stop, that kind of sound is too torturous.
Just when my body was numb and my spirit was about to collapse, I tilted my head and walked to see that there was a change in front of me under the light, and it seemed to be a wall.
I pinched my arm with my fingers to keep myself awake. Look again, it's indeed a wall. I went to push the fat man who was still walking, and he turned around, his eyes were already foggy.
I shook him twice before he came to his senses. Xue Ning looked even more miserable, as soon as we stopped, he collapsed to the side, leaning against the tunnel wall.
The fat man looked along my hand, and he also saw the wall in front of him. At that time, his legs were weak, and if I hadn't supported him hard, I guess he would have fallen to the ground.
"Let's go over and see what happens." My voice was almost powerless, and I could only make a sound like a serious illness. The fat man and I held each other to the end of the wall.
It was really a sealed wall, and my head was dizzy, and I was almost breaking down, and it took me seven hours to realize that it was a dead end. Touching the wall, the fat man made a sound that he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.
How could this be? Why did the ancestors here build a dead end? But this is not right, since it is a dead end, how can there be air flow. Could it be that we have taken a fork in the road?
When I think about it, I know that it is absolutely impossible, the two of them may miss the fork, but I have been paying attention to the situation in the tunnel, and there is absolutely no other way in the straight and smooth tunnel.
I couldn't help but wonder about myself and wanted to go back and see. But when I saw the wall in front of me, I had no motivation to walk.
We both leaned our backs against the wall and lay on the ground. Xue Ning was already lying flat on the tunnel floor a few meters away, his chest rising and falling, he was still alive.
I felt uncomfortable, and I didn't know why my mouth was moaning strangely. As soon as I was in such a mood, I picked up the flashlight that the fat man had thrown on the ground, and slammed the wall behind me, hitting my hand several times, and it hurt.
But after a few knocks, I realized that the sound was wrong, and I knocked three more times, bang, bang, bang. When I heard it, there was a door. The fat man had already heard the problem in his voice and turned his head.
