Chapter 238: Bait
Everyone was noisy by Zhang Xiaohu's frightened shouts. It was a heartfelt scream, how could Zhang Xiaohu, who had always been calm and brave, make such a sound.
Zhang Xiaohu looked frightened, leaned against the wall with his back, his eyes stared at the flames on the spontaneous combustion lamp, and the gun in his hand trembled uncontrollably.
Peng Jiadong took down the gun first, if it went off, it would be troublesome for anyone to be injured by mistake. He asked, "Captain, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I just... Just in... I saw a man in the fire! Zhang Xiaohu shouted, he was sure that he was definitely not dazzled, and what appeared in the flames just now was a shrunken person.
"Zhang Xiaohu, what's wrong?" Xu Haitao looked at King Peter and asked, "Have you ever been like this before?" ”
King Peter shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him like this before, maybe he is too tired during the day, and it is normal for the brain to hallucinate when he is highly fatigued, so I will be on duty next and let him rest for a while!" ”
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the expressions of several people around him, knowing that everyone didn't believe his words, he hurriedly said: "When did I say nonsense, old Peter, do you recall for yourself, am I the kind of person who can talk nonsense?" I really saw a man, and those golden flakes were taken away! ”
"What do you say, those treasures are gone!" Xu Haitao was shocked: "Tell us what's going on?" ”
Zhang Xiaohu patiently told everyone what had just happened. He focused on the strange black shadow and the people in the flames, and everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to do!
After a while, Song Haoze said: "It seems that there are still things we don't know behind this, and then we need to be careful." ”
After this twist and turn, everyone has no intention of sleeping. Judging from the time, it should be almost dawn outside, and they decided to leave here as soon as possible and return to the outside.
Led by Xu Haitao, they searched for a passage in the rugged tunnel. But they went around and around, but they never found anything, and under the light, there was no obvious reference to the surrounding scenery, and it all looked the same!
"We seem to be lost!" Xu Haitao said helplessly.
"Shouldn't it? When I came down, I left a mark on the wall that was clear enough, and now it's gone! Song Haoze's face was incredulous.
"It's useless to talk about this now, the most important thing for us at the moment is to find the direction first!" Peng Jiadong opened his watch, and the hands on it to indicate the direction were slowly rotating.
"Huh? How so! "Others are discovering more strange things, but the watch is not working, and even some other instruments are out of work, and all sorts of anomalies are occurring.
Since Zhang Xiaohu saw the black shadow, unlucky things happened one after another, and there must be intriguing reasons for this.
They were standing in a completely unchanging tunnel, still dark around them, and they weren't sure if there would still be a shadow standing on the wall in the darkness, staring at them. The more they thought about these things, the more terrifying they became, and they didn't want to avoid this feeling of fear, so they turned on all the light sources that could be used on their bodies, and the entire pit immediately lit up. This really dispelled some fear, and they didn't seem to be as nervous as before.
The people who calmed down began to seriously analyze the changes they encountered, and the root of all these changes was the mysterious black shadow, and it was because of this black shadow that they fell into a panic preconceived.
"Boy, do you remember when we were in the Legion of the Victims, we were locked up in that building, and we encountered many illusions one after another, which were extremely real, and all of us believed it was true, and indulged in it, and only you were unmoved to save us!"
"Mr. Wang, what do you mean?" Peng Jiadong didn't understand what King Peter meant. After he was captured by the victims, he followed Alebayo to the B continent early on a mission, and he didn't know this story at all.
Zhang Xiaohu's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, what we see now may also be fantasy, right?" ”
King Peter nodded, and affirmed, "It's not impossible, otherwise these strange changes can't be explained anyway!" ”
"What kind of energy can affect all five of us at the same time, so that we can all see the same hallucination, this is incredible!" Xu Haitao said with emotion.
"We can't do it, it's not that no one can't do it, the engineers can do it, and the mysterious forces that may be above them will be easier to do!" King Peter speculated.
"Whether there will really be other forces is still unknown, you don't always shake the morale of the army, if it wasn't for what you said before, Zhang Xiaohu might not have thought of it so complicated, then those life-saving golden flakes would not be lost!" Xu Haitao suddenly became irritable and began to accuse King Peter.
"What are you talking about, I am thinking from a scientific and rational point of view, for the safety of everyone in the team, I must say it!" King Peter responded with the same fury.
"Help, you understand science, I haven't seen you do anything great! You can also show off your poor knowledge in front of us! Song Haoze also sarcastically.
"You guys! You—" King Peter was about to continue arguing. Zhang Xiaohu suddenly shouted impatiently: "What a noise!" Let's calm down, okay? ”
Peng Jiadong also wondered: "What's wrong with you, what a big deal, as for arguing like this?" Oops! Something stung me! Peng Jiadong suddenly reached out and patted his neck.
Zhang Xiaohu immediately realized something, he quickly shone the light nearby, and sure enough, he found more than a dozen tiny bright spots, flying in the air.
"Soul Attractor!" Zhang Xiaohu's hairs immediately stood up, when did these life-threatening things arrive here, and in the darkness nearby, were there any other enemies hidden.
He took out his short knife, and while Xu Haitao and King Peter were unprepared, he used the blade to cut a deep cut on each of the two people's arms, and the red blood immediately flowed out. The two of them screamed in unison, and immediately regained their consciousness.
Zhang Xiaohu continued to cut Song Haoze's arm with a knife, intending to wake up Peng Jiadong last, but he was still one step slower, and Peng Jiadong had already turned around and ran into the darkness with a frightened face.
"Catch up with Uncle Peng, don't let him run away!" Zhang Xiaohu looked at the three people who came to his senses and shouted.
The four of them followed closely the light and shadow in the darkness in front of them, chasing after Peng Jiadong. After running for only a few dozen meters, the four of them stopped helplessly, and there was a natural stone pillar more than two meters high in front of them, and at the top of the stone pillar, there was a lit light source, and Peng Jiadong was gone.
"Uncle Peng!" "Brother Peng!" The four of them shouted loudly.
"Bang!" A bullet flew across Zhang Xiaohu's cheek and hit a tunnel wall, stirring up countless stone chips.
Zhang Xiaohu and several of them quickly squatted on the ground and turned off the light source on their bodies.
Xu Haitao lay beside Zhang Xiaohu and whispered: "Uncle Peng has been fascinated by the soul attraction worm, and now he regards us as his enemies, what should we do next?" ”
Zhang Xiaohu replied: "What else can I do?" Let's hide it first, keep all the things on our bodies that are easy to expose, and then slowly find Uncle Peng, and after subduing him, there is always a way to recover him! ”
"Boy, I'm not worried about these soul attractors!" King Peter said, "I'm more worried about who put these worms here, and whether it will be ......."
"It shouldn't be!" Zhang Xiaohu said: "We have been careful enough along the way, we have not used anything that can send signals, and this place is still quite far from our destination, it is impossible for No. 4 to find us by such a coincidence!" And this is his range, there are his men everywhere, he doesn't need to send soul worms, he can definitely kill us. ”
"Who will it be if it's not Number 4?" Xu Haitao continued: "Aren't these soul attracters only commanded by engineers? They must have targeted us! ”
"Bang" "Bang" two bullets exploded nearby. Zhang Xiaohu lowered their bodies and carefully dodged the bullets.
Judging from the gunshots, Peng Jiadong was hidden in the darkness opposite them, and in that position, it was easy to see the changes on Zhang Xiaohu's side.
"Two more bullets!" Zhang Xiaohu said. The weapon Peng Jiadong was holding was Zhang Xiaohu's, and his own original one had been left on the ground in the escape just now.
Coincidentally, when he was on duty at night just now, Zhang Xiaohu checked his gun. There were only five bullets in the gun, and before he could replace them, a series of strange things happened. Now he deduced that the gun in Peng Jiadong's hand was about to run out of bullets. Maybe at that point, things might take a different turn.
"Boy, why are you confused, Brother Peng also has spare bullets on his body, and the gun he is holding is yours, but can you guarantee that he will not change the magazine?" King Peter said helplessly.
"Have you ever seen anyone who lost his mind and still thinks about complex problems, I dare to guarantee that after shooting the bullets in the gun, Uncle Peng will definitely fight with us closely, it depends on whether the four of us can restrain him, no matter who restrains him, the others must wake him up immediately!" Zhang Xiaohu said.
"Bang!" Another bullet hit the stone pillar behind Zhang Xiaohu and the others.
Zhang Xiaohu took out a spare light source from his backpack and quickly threw it into the sky.
"Bang" a bullet flew past the backup light source. Under the flickering lights, Zhang Xiaohu and the four of them all saw Peng Jiadong hidden behind the stone pillar opposite.
His eyes were glazed, drooling from his mouth, and he looked like he had lost his mind!
