"Bang!" Gunshots rang out.

Berryman ran into the next room and hid behind an old refrigerator.

Sweat oozed from his forehead, and he shouted to Axes outside the door, "Wake up! Stop sleepwalking! ”

"Uh......" Ax ignored him, and walked slowly to the room with a sluggish expression, although he looked silly, his loading movements were clean.

This guy won't listen at all! It's useless to talk more, he is already a different person when he sleepwalks!

Then I'll have to wake you up! Burryman thought to himself. He was breathing heavily, and although he had a gun in his hand, he would not fire at his companions.

Akers walked into the room, although the room was messy, there were many places to hide, but he didn't hesitate for half a minute, and walked towards the refrigerator.

How did he know I was here? Berryman's brow furrowed, and he suddenly realized that the flashlight under the muzzle of the gun was still shining, revealing his position. The next moment, he hurriedly turned off the flashlight.

As Ax approached the refrigerator, he inadvertently stomped a crawling cockroach and strode with his rifle raised.

A can of Coke was tossed from behind the refrigerator.

"Bang!"

Akers shot the cans and blew them up, spraying Coke all over his face.

Just as he was about to pull the bolt to load, Burriman took the opportunity to rush out from behind the refrigerator!

Berryman lowered himself and tried to hit Ax, but before he could touch the other man, he pushed him to the ground, and fell on the puddle of expired Coke, slimy and stinky.

With a "click", Ax's gun was loaded, which frightened Berryman and rolled under the bed beside him.

"Bang!"

Akers fired a shot, and the muzzle of the gun flashed with fire, and a wisp of smoke spilled out of it.

Fortunately, Berryman had already gotten under the bed, and the bullet only hit the quilt that had rolled up on the bed, kicking up the dust that covered it.

As he walked, Akers loaded his rifle, and the cartridge case bounced out and landed on the floor with a "clang". He walked over to the bed and lay down, the light from his rifle shining under the bed.

Berryman was long gone under the bed, except for a few cockroaches that crawled out.

Berryman hid behind the bathroom, revealing a pair of eyes staring at Axes beside the bed.

He picked up the soap dish from the sink and threw it outward.

"Smack"!

The soap box shattered the blurred mirror on the dressing table, and Ax heard the sound as he walked to the dressing table.

Berryman suddenly appeared from behind and slammed the butt of his gun into the back of Ax's head.

"Wake me up!"

Ax fainted to the ground, the shattered mirror glass slicing through his face, bleeding from the ground.

Berryman gasped as he turned on the torch under his gun, illuminating the Axes beneath his feet.

I just wanted to wake him up, but I didn't expect to knock him out......

Berryman shook his head, confiscating Ax's rifle and slung it over his shoulder. He walked back to the bathroom, twisting the rusty faucet.

But the faucet was completely eroded by rust, and he unscrewed the valve on it with a single twist.

In desperation, he took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and poured the stinky beer in Akes' face.

Ax sat up with a "pout", clutching the back of his head in pain and letting out a moan.

Could he still be sleepwalking? Unable to confirm this, Berryman took a few steps back vigilantly.

Akers licked the sticky liquid from the corner of his mouth, then stuck out his tongue and retched, "Did you kid pee on my face?" ”

Seeing him return to normal, Burriman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me outside? Why did you fall asleep? ”

"I'm not asleep." Akers stood up and looked around warily, "It's the monster that's coming to the door!" ”

"What's the situation?" Berryman returned the rifle that had confiscated him.

"Soon after you entered, the monster came in. I shot it and didn't kill it, but I didn't expect it to emit some kind of smoke at me, and I don't remember after that. ”

Akers took off the sticky, smelly animal skin sleeves and said, "Take off your clothes too, the I pulled out is more fragrant than this." ”

After he said this, Berry Man noticed that the T-shirt on his body was also soaked with expired drinks, and then took it off as well.

Two naked men were alone in a dark room, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

"I have no memory of what just happened, am I sleepwalking again?"

"You almost killed me when you were sleepwalking!"

Arkes felt so guilty that he covered his forehead with his hand, not seeing the expression on his face.

Brimand sat down and asked, "Do you know Viren?" ”

"What is Viren?"

"I thought you'd know something. Viren is a legendary city that has disappeared, and its coordinates are located on this island. ”

"Vanishing cities? You would believe in this kind of folklore. ”

"Part of the reason why I'm here is because of this legend......"

Then, Berryman tells the true purpose of coming to the island, and he needs to investigate the connection between the island and Rosen so that he can better understand the truth about the disappearance.

At present, it is only possible to know the culprit of the sleepwalking disorder - Gray Mist.

When Axes learned the news, he was completely stunned, he had been living on the island until he was sixteen years old, and he had spent every night sleepwalking? After so many years, they didn't even notice it, and he trembled at the thought of it.

Since entering this room, I haven't had time to investigate it properly.

"We can't relax yet, I've already searched the negative three floors. I think the monster is in this layer! Berryman said.

Arkes stood up and walked to the door to stand guard, investigating the truth was not his forte.

In a drawer on the bedside table, Berryman found a yellowed photograph.

This is a group photo of the members of the institute, with the child standing in the first row, the mother standing in the second row, and the researcher in a white coat in the third row. The background of the shoot was outside the cave, when the sun was shining and everyone had a smile on their faces, but they couldn't see it clearly.

On the back of the photograph is a table with the Moork script in it.

Periman called in Axes to help translate.

Ax held the photograph in his hand, while Brimand helped light it.

"The names written in the form correspond to the people in the photo." Akes' gaze swept over the names, and suddenly he yelled, "Damn! That's impossible! ”

"What's wrong?"

"Diciris!" Akers clenched the photo tightly, his hands trembling.

"The photo has the name of our chief - Diciris!"

"Could it just be the same name?"

"Nope." Akes shook his head, "The names of our Mork people are relatively rare, and they all have unique meanings. ”

"Like my name, Acks, which means the sun in the Mork language. And the name of the chief, Diciris, it represents hope. ”

Burriman asked, "Who does this name correspond to in the picture?" ”

"First row, third on the right." Akers flipped the photo back to the front, swiping his fingers over a person in the photograph and finally resting on a little boy, whose face was covered by the macula.

"That's him!"

"When was the photo taken? Is there a date on it? ”

"Yes! Taken 80 years ago, the child in the photo should be five or six years old, and this year! The chief is exactly 85 years old! ”

Ax was shocked, he had no idea that the chief was actually from the Institute, maybe he was the only survivor!

Perhaps because of the massacre of the Institute, the Chief never mentioned the existence of the Institute to us, and even forbade the cave near the entrance of the Institute, because he was protecting us!

"Do you remember the legend I told you about the curse on the island before you came to the island?" Akers asked.

"Remember! The curse began when a cruise ship sailed to the island, and while sailing, it encountered a storm at sea, killing 83 people and leaving 31 missing. Burriman remembers it clearly.

Ax turned his head to look at Berryman, his voice trembling a little.

"The person in the photo...... Exactly 31 people! ”

His words were like an electric current that rushed into Berryman's body, erecting the hairs on his hands and sticking goosebumps on his skin.

If the 31 missing people on board came here later, I am afraid that the purpose of their visit is to investigate the island. Otherwise, how can this underground research institute explain it? Berryman would not have believed that after they were killed, there was still the Institute of Material Construction, and these machines.

They must have come prepared!

Or they didn't die at all, and if so, what about the 83 people who died? It is said that the rescue team did not find the body of the deceased, so how do they know how many people were on board? How did the news of the death get out?

"I think that your nation probably has a very deep connection with this institute. And there is no evidence whether the Mork people are descendants of the 31 missing people. There's nothing left to investigate here, let's look elsewhere. Berryman said.

Akers put the picture down and walked out of the room with Berryman.

Right now.

"Da ......" Hurried footsteps came from the front of the corridor!

Hearing this familiar footsteps, Ax shuddered, and he shouted: "Prepare for battle!" ”

At the same time, they raised their guns and aimed them at the hallway in front of them.

As the footsteps got closer, they all tensed, and in the circular corridor, they couldn't see the situation in the bend ahead.

"Da Da Da! Da! The footsteps stopped abruptly, and the entire corridor became extremely quiet, dust particles floating in the light beams, like many small flying bugs.

Burriman felt a drop of water fall on his shoulder, he thought it was a leak, and subconsciously looked up.

A sleek humanoid monster, like a gecko attached to the ceiling, with its head growing on its back, staring at itself!

It turned out that the drops of water dripping on Berryman's hands were the saliva of this monster!

It looked like a naked three-year-old, with skin as smooth and hairless as tiles, but it was scrawny, its ribs were clearly visible, a vertebrae were about to pierce its back, and between its ring and middle fingers was a sixth finger.

It had no nose, and apart from a pair of brutal eyes, it had only a large, one-foot-long mouth on its face, and its saliva hung in the air and was crumbling.

Although Berryman had imagined how terrifying the monster looked many times, he was still shocked when he actually saw it in its entirety.

"What are you doing! Shoot! Akers shouted.

"Bang! Bang! ”

The bullet went into the monster's back, bursting into green blood!

The monster opened its mouth and let out a piercing scream, sharp and piercing like the sound of fingernails scraping against a chalkboard.

It fell, feet on all fours, and headed straight for it like a lizard, unreflexibly fast!

Berryman took a few steps back and scrambled to reload the gun, but the monster had crawled to his feet and opened its mouth to bite.

"Ahh

"Let me go!" Ax ran over, grabbed his rifle, and slammed it on the monster's head!

The monster screamed, its elongated limbs flailing wildly, and after Akers shot it in the head, it finally let go, and retreated with a large hole in its head.

Burriman felt a sharp pain in his calf, he could no longer stand steadily, and the whole person fell to the ground!

The monster crawled on the cylindrical wall, watching them from afar, waiting for the moment to launch the next round of attacks.

"Let's get out first!" Ax lowered his head and burrowed under Berryman's armpit, holding him up and running backwards.

Burriman was in unbearable pain, he gritted his teeth, his facial features were huddled together, his right calf was bleeding hot, and he could only use his other foot to jump and try his best to match Ax's pace.

The monster followed, crawling across the wall, closing the distance between them!

"Brute!" Ax turned around and saw the monster coming closely, he lowered his head and got out of Berryman's armpit, quickly loaded his load, and fired!

He didn't see if he had a hit, he just put Berryman on the shoulder and ran in stride.

He ran to the nearest door, kicked it open, and ran inside. After putting Berryman down, he turned back sharply and closed the door, quickly snapping the latch on the door.
