——————————————————

One night twenty years ago, it was a summer, an unusually quiet summer night, and two people were struggling to walk through this forgotten forest.

There were no insects, no cries of birds and beasts, just the beam of a flashlight, a blue point of light, and two muffled gasps.

"It's almost there, isn't it?" A woman's voice rang out, breaking the deathly silence first......

But no one answered, and there was a sound of footsteps, wheezing, and metal colliding......

After a long time, a very tired man's voice appeared: "This is it".

"Are you sure?" The woman asked.

"That's right, that's where they last stayed!" After speaking, the man picked up the GPS locator that glowed with blue light, carefully checked it, and turned it off.

"Did they go in?" The woman asked the man a little nervously.

"I think so," replied the man, after a moment's thought.

Then there was a deathly silence......

"Click" ...... The sound of a lighter hitting. The man took out a cigarette, lit it and took a few puffs.

"I'm going down to them," the man said to the woman beside him.

"I'm with you," the woman replied.

"No, I don't know what's going on below, they've been missing for so long, and they've probably already died here! With their skills, they can't get out of it all right, and it must be very dangerous down there, and I can't let you take the risk. The man said quickly and firmly.

Another silence......

"We're the only ones left now, right?" The woman asked a little sadly.

The man didn't answer, threw away the cigarette butt he had smoked, opened his backpack and began to organize his gear.

"What should I do if you can't get out either?" The woman asked the man again.

"Then stop from now on and find a man to marry!" The man said very flatly.

"You bastard! Do you think you can get rid of me this way? I'm telling you you're dreaming! I've been with you since I was 16 years old, and if it weren't for you, why would I go to wade into the muddy waters of your house? The woman asked excitedly.

The man didn't answer, just continued to do what was at hand.

The woman continued with a hint of crying, "I know you don't love me, I know everything you've been thinking about for so many years!" ”

Hearing the woman's words, the man paused, then took out a box of bullets from his backpack and began to reload the magazine. He glanced at the woman and replied, "You don't know me." ”

The man was silent again, and the air seemed to condense...... There was only the sound of "click, click," a bullet being pressed into the magazine.

"I don't care, since I've reached this point, I'm going to go down in life or death, even if it's not for you, I'm going to see what's going on down here! Don't forget, my brother is down here. The woman was so excited that she picked up the bullet next to the man and began to reload her magazine.

"I don't want you to have an accident, then I'll blame myself for the rest of my life." After saying that, the man snatched the magazine from the woman's hand.

"Our family and yours have already given so many lives for this matter, how many relatives have we lost? But in the end, nothing was found! In fact, I have long since died and do not want to look for it anymore. Now that my brother has an accident, I'm the only one left, if even you ...... How do you leave me alone to survive in this world? I don't care, since I've come to this point, even if I die, I admit it. The woman burst into tears.

The man sighed and looked at the woman. "Maybe this is fate, the fate of your own choice." After saying that, he handed the woman a pistol.

Seeing that the man agreed, the woman took the pistol and wiped the tears from her face. Said to the man, "If we come out alive, let's stop, I don't want to continue!" ”

The man didn't answer, counting his equipment and hanging them one by one on the tactical belt around his waist.

Half an hour later, the man and woman were dressed and came to the bottomless hole. Dropped a glow stick and observed the inside of the cave.

The silver rod emitted a faint green light, tumbling down the wall of the cave, stopping in a relatively flat place, and then the man picked up his flashlight and looked at the cave carefully.

This hole was dug by hand, and they were familiar with the digging technique, which was the masterpiece of the woman's brother. Obviously, there was no rush when digging this hole, and every shovel trace was quite neat, which means that there is nothing dangerous in the hole.

The man fastened a rope, wrapped it around his waist and said to the woman, "I'll go down first, there's no problem you come down." With that, he handed the rope to the woman. Then he was ready to go down the cave.

"Be careful...... "The woman said uneasily.

The man nodded and said to the woman, "If we come out alive, you will marry me!" With that, he went into the hole.

The woman was stunned at first! Then two lines of tears burst out of his eyes. After so many years of birth and death, this sentence may be what she wants to hear the most, although she has also experienced life and death for a long time, but she is still a woman after all!

Soon after, the man signaled from below, indicating that there was no danger, and the woman took out the safety buckle and hung it on the rope, and climbed into the hole with a short body.

"What is this place?" The woman looked around with a flashlight and asked the man.

It was pitch black all around, and the flashlight could not illuminate all the surrounding situation clearly, looking at the outline, this should be a large-scale stone room, and the hole dug by the woman's brother was very cleverly opened from the root of the wall on the side.

This stone chamber is very high, and only a faint bluestone roof can be seen when the flashlight shines past. Looking around, I saw some abandoned equipment not far from the entrance of the cave, which should be the traces left by the woman's younger brother after the wave of people came in.

"They've been here,......" the woman was a little anxious.

"Be careful, I'm feeling very uncomfortable!" The man looked around and said to the woman.

After a closer look, the man took out his pistol and turned on his flashlight to the woman. "Let's go inside and have a look."

As he went deeper, the man felt more and more that this stone chamber was very strange. There are neither frescoes nor sculptures. It's like an empty stone house!

Walking deeper, there will be a lot of square bricks of different sizes on the ground from time to time, the big one is the size of a family car, and the small one is just like a drum washing machine, the square water chestnut is distinct, and it is about a centimeter above the ground, which is very strange.

The man crouched down and looked closely, revealing that the bricks were not completely attached to the ground, as if there was some mechanism that could open them.

"Watch out for these bricks, beware of traps." The man said.

"Ah, there is light there," the woman said to the man suddenly, pointing to a faint point of light in the darkness ahead.

So the man stopped studying the bricks and focused the flashlight on the place where the light was shining.

It's a little far away, and I can't see what it is, but I can vaguely see the stone wall on the other side. It seems that this stone room is not as big as expected, but I don't know why, the flashlight shines a little farther away, and it is blurry, as if it is too far away to shine.

And the man found that on the ground around the point of light, there were several black shadows, and he couldn't see what they were, and by the outline, it felt like a quilt that had been rolled up and thrown to the ground one by one.

The two of them glanced at each other, cautiously, step by step, like the strange point of light.

As the distance got closer, the point of light in front of him suddenly shook, and it began to flicker and darken. "It's alive!" The man whispered nervously to the woman.

The darkness around them enveloped them tightly, as if it were going to swallow everything. It's incredibly depressing.

The light spot in front of it flickered on and off, and under the faint illumination of the flashlight, it seemed that there was an inconspicuous outline around the light spot. It was like an eye watching them, waiting for them to fall into their net and tear them apart.

The two of them cautiously watched their surroundings, waited for a while, and found that the point of light did not move further. So the two of them looked at each other, raised the gun in their hands, and gently walked towards the strange point of light.

After walking about five or six meters, the flashlight was finally able to take a picture of the situation ahead. Seeing the situation ahead, the woman inadvertently called out! "Ah, those, those are dead people?"

The shadows I saw just now, where were the quilts, they were some corpses lying on the ground and I don't know how long they had been dead! Of course, the woman will not be frightened by a few corpses, but at this distance, you can already vaguely see the equipment on their bodies. That style of equipment, not her brother's team, who else could it be? She's familiar.

And the point of light that looked like an eye turned out to be a person lying on the ground with a cigarette in his mouth! The cigarette was flickering brightly and dimly with the man's faint breath!

"There are alive!" Seeing this, the man immediately walked a few steps quickly to the side of the man, and was shocked when he shone a flashlight!

This person is an old fellow who has followed the man's father for many years, and he is familiar with it, thinking that when the man's father was still alive, these old fellows were also quite beautiful. Now that the family is in the middle of the road, running and running, and dying, there are only a few loyal old guys left, but I didn't expect to explain here.

At this moment, although the old man was still breathing weakly, he was unconscious, and his eyes seemed to be closed. Squinted into a slit, his face covered in blood. It's even more miserable to see on the body!

I don't know what a big hole was opened in my stomach, and my intestines hung outside, and blood was still flowing down the cracks in the floor. A lighter in his left hand and a short-barreled shotgun in his right hand! There were also a few replaced shells scattered around.

Just when the man was surprised why he was making such a fuss, the woman behind him suddenly fell to his knees. With the woman's flashlight, it was the woman's younger brother lying on the ground!

At this moment, I don't know how long he has been dead, his face is pale, his eyes are wide, his eyes seem to burst out of his sockets, and his mouth is also open, you can know his pain before death by looking at his expression.

One arm was broken, I don't know where it was broken, the fatal injury should have been a big laceration in the neck, and the head was almost separated from the body! It's torn, but it's more like being bitten by something. Seeing her brother's miserable condition, the woman almost collapsed, knelt down in front of her brother's corpse, and cried bitterly!

The man looked around carefully, and it was shocking and indescribable, and there were several corpses lying beside them, almost all of them mutilated. Some even have only two legs left!

What's even more bizarre is that among these corpses are not only people from the team of women's younger brothers, but also many ancient corpses whose clothes are almost rotten, and their bodies are full of bullet holes.

There was also an ancient corpse lying next to the old guy who was still alive, his head was gone, and the explosion of his neck should have been caused by the old man's close-range headshot with the iron sand bullet of a short-barreled shotgun.

The man quickly crouched down and shook the old fellow vigorously, shouting, "What the hell is going on here?" Wake up! ”

Although men have seen a lot of the world, such a tragic situation is the first time in his life.

Under the man's shout, the old man's slightly closed eyes opened a little, and when he saw the man's face, he suddenly trembled all over, widened his eyes, and shouted in a very hoarse, ugly voice: "Run......" and then stopped breathing motionlessly.

Before the man could react, he heard a sudden scream from the woman, and the man looked back and was covered in a cold sweat! I don't know when, I saw before, the ashlar slabs on the ground have opened a crack, and a dry hand has stretched out from the gap. I'm grabbing a woman's feet and pulling them into the space under the slate!

How could the man condone him to pull the woman down, only to see the man quickly pull out the short knife from his waist, leap forward, and cut off the withered hand with one sword. Pick up the woman and run in the direction she came.

At this time, the square bricks I saw when I passed by just now had already opened a crack, and countless withered hands were stretching out, as if the things inside were trying to climb out.

The gaps in some of the bricks were already very large, and many living corpses had already poked out of the gaps.

The woman ran and shot with her pistol, and the man brandished his short knife left and right to cut off the heads of the living corpses that had crawled out.

This kind of living corpse is like the zombie in the American movie, the woman shoots them, leaving only a bullet hole, and then they can still attack, and only by hitting the head can they kill them!

Slashing all the way, the man and woman finally came to a place not far from the entrance of the cave, and at this time most of the living corpses had crawled out. A large wave, another wave of living corpses is slowly approaching them!

The woman was still changing magazines and preparing to shoot, and the man shouted, "It's too much, you can't kill it, run!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed the woman into the hole, and he helped the woman cover, wielding a knife to kill two approaching living corpses, and just about to bend down into the hole, the man's left hand was grabbed by a living corpse. The dead tree-like corpse hand was so powerful, and the man didn't break free with all his strength!

I didn't hesitate to see the living corpse, and opened my mouth to the man's hand! This bite directly bit off the man's three fingers, and the man in pain almost fainted.

The strength of the living corpse is very strong, if it weren't for the man who stuck the machete in his right hand on the cave wall, maybe the man would have been dragged out of the cave and eaten by now!

Just as the man was trying to break free from the living corpse, seven or eight more living corpses approached. Seeing this, the man immediately twisted his body and stretched out his right hand with a knife, wanting to break his arm to save his life, but when he saw the living corpse holding his arm and still chewing his fingers, he was ruthless in his heart and shouted, "I'll go to your mother's leg!" "A knife cut off the arm of a living corpse.

The man didn't care about anything, the knife was thrown away, the pain was forgotten, and the corpse hand was still firmly grasped on the man's left arm! The man was also in a hurry, with a strange scream, the whole body grabbed the rope and climbed up, the woman had already climbed out of the hole at this time, and saw that the man was climbing up desperately, so she quickly pulled up the rope and used all her strength to start pulling out.

Fortunately, the hole was not deep, and the man was pulled out in a few strokes; When I looked back, I saw that although these living corpses were powerful, they didn't seem to be able to drill holes, and they were all blocked at the entrance of the cave with their mouths wide open, "Ah~ah~ah~ah~ah~ah..."

Just in case, the man and woman took out a folding shovel from their backpacks, and one person began to fill the hole, and when the hole could not be filled, they began to dig the hole wall, until the hole wall was completely dug and blocked the hole, and the two stopped.

The woman looked at the man's bitten finger, quickly took out the portable medical bag, took out the alcohol bandage to disinfect and bandage the man to stop the bleeding, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after giving the man an injection of anti-corpse poison special medicine.

The two sat on the dirt slope where the bullets were pressed before entering the hole, looking at each other. At this time, the two of them were no different from living corpses, covered in mud, mixed with blood, and embarrassed.

The woman lowered her head and looked at the necklace she had taken from her brother's corpse, which was still full of her brother's blood, and couldn't control her emotions and cried again......

The man stepped forward and hugged the woman, and although they had been born and died together for many years, it was the first time that they had really hugged like this.

I don't know how long it took, the first rays of morning light had already shone on the horizon, the man pulled up the woman, and said softly, "Let's go, from now on we will live this life ordinarily and ordinary, and we will stop here." ”

With tears in her eyes, the woman looked at the man and nodded, so the two picked up their bags and walked along the way they came......
