Chapter XVII
It was gray all around, and it looked like the situation was terrible, and everyone stood up and shouted Bruce's name, but nothing happened except for a hollow echo.
Hell, except for the removal of the box, everyone has not walked around anywhere, Bruce was still talking just now, this moment, where did he run, as a senior outdoor adventure expert, he would definitely not run around in the case of extremely poor vision, everyone's hearts began to be entangled again.
Quietly, a living person disappeared, and in this cold and dark underground, it is a very dangerous thing for a person to be left behind.
"Let's take a look around!"
Sun Ruhai shouted to everyone: "Several people form a team, one follows the other hand in hand, don't fall behind again." ”
Everyone acted quickly, but in such a big fog, it was so easy to find someone, and everyone could only hold hands, groping in different directions in the thick fog, shouting Bruce's name as they walked.
"What is this?" As soon as everyone walked out, Zheng Beishan suddenly pointed to a backpack on the floor and shouted.
Wu Ze and the others immediately followed the sound and gathered around, and found that it was Bruce's rucksack on the ground, and turned on the strong flashlight to shine forward.
Zheng Beishan shouted again: "Blood, there are blood stains on the ground!" ”
Wu Ze was shocked, and soon saw that the shoulder strap of the rucksack was also covered with bloodstains, the blood stains were very fresh, and it should have just flowed out not long ago.
Everyone's hearts suddenly tensed, and Bruce was obviously attacked by something. How quietly can it be?
"Could it be a corpse snake?" Zheng Beishan muttered.
"It's not like, if it's a corpse snake, we won't be unaware, we don't even hear Bruce's scream, which means that he was covered in the mouth, or knocked unconscious and dragged away!"
Sun Ruhai said with a blushing face: "It is very likely that it is man-made, if it is a fierce beast or an unknown creature, Bruce will not even let out a shout." ”
"Artificial?"
Everyone is stunned, you look at me, I look at you, aren't everyone here, not to mention who will harm Bruce? Could it be that there really are some old devil soldiers living underground and attacking Bruce?
"Could it be an underground demon? Didn't Lao Li say before that there were evil ghosts living underground? Zheng Beishan said.
The surroundings were very quiet, and when they heard Zheng Beishan say so coldly about the underground evil ghosts, everyone couldn't help but think in that direction, if it was really a beast mutant creature, it would be better, after all, it was not an ethereal thing, what I was most afraid of was this kind of invisible and untouchable thing, and I couldn't find a way to deal with it.
Maybe he felt that Grandpa Wu Ze was fighting in the past, he used to be active in the cemetery, and everyone looked at Wu Ze at this time, waiting for his judgment.
Wu Ze frowned and said: "Judging from the altar we found before, as well as the information engraved on those stone slabs, there must have been a lot of traces of human activities underground, not to mention these long-term things, that is, when the devil and devil division built fortifications underground, they must have brought in a large number of prisoners of war or laborers." ”
"Do you think there is a chance that these laborers or prisoners of war will survive? It's not an exaggeration to say that this underground cave is a mass grave! According to us, this underground is a place of extreme yin, not only does it not see the light of day, but there are also a large number of unjust souls, and it is an excellent place to produce white-haired zongzi, which is the proverbial zombie! ”
Everyone was shocked again, what Wu Ze said was reasonable, it was precisely because it made sense that it made people feel terrible, could there really be zongzi?
"Wu Ze, have you ever seen a ghost?" Zheng Beishan's lips turned a little pale and asked in a low voice.
"I haven't met a real ghost, but it's not uncommon for zongzi in ancient tombs and ghosts hitting the wall, don't be too afraid, if it's really a ghost, if it's a ghost, it will hurt people, and it won't leave blood!"
Sun Ruhai came out at this time and said: "Wu Ze is reasonable, it is definitely not a ghost, everyone cheer up, and everything will be clear when we find Bruce." ”
It can only be like this, the matter of finding Bruce really can't be delayed, even if no one harms him in this kind of place, he can't survive alone.
If you want to see people alive and die to see corpses, everyone found a few safety ropes, fastened the safety locks on their waists one by one, strung them into a line, and checked them around.
The fog was still very thick, and even the cold winds that appeared from time to time could not blow it away, but only brought a greater chill to everyone.
In this huge underground space, I searched for several hours in a row, but my vision was too narrow, and I could basically only see two or three meters under my feet, as if the whole person was walking in a confused dream, except for tiredness, everyone found nothing.
The torches in their hands had long since been extinguished by the fog, and although there were many spare batteries, no one could guarantee that it would take too long to stay in this damn underground to find their way back to the surface.
Walking around so blindly, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find Bruce when the battery runs out, and finally consume myself alive!
The cold and hungry crowd shivered from the cold, perhaps because of the numbness, but no one was worried about those evil ghosts or anything, but hoped that something would appear, so that the spirits could be lifted and the monotonous fog could be swept away.
"Let's stop and rest!" Feeling the exhaustion and silence of everyone, Sun Ruhai finally spoke.
Wu Ze sat on the cold ground, and everyone was like him, slumped on the ground, all a little desperate, it seemed that Bruce was more than lucky.
"Did you think he was dead?" Luo Fatzi poked Wu Ze's arm and asked.
Wu Ze shook his head weakly, only God knows, maybe even the sky doesn't know, after all, there is no light in this underground.
It happened so suddenly, everyone was supposed to gather around the fire to rest, but all of a sudden, the blues disappeared silently as if he had been beaten by someone.
Except for his backpack and those blood stains, there was no trace of it, and Wu Ze even had the illusion, did this blues never appear?
It's just that Sun Ruhai's thoughts are very firm, he thinks that Bruce must have been attacked by something, maybe it was a person, or it could be some white-haired zombie.
After everyone discussed these things again, Sun Ruhai asked everyone to not be able to untie the safety rope on their bodies no matter what, even if it was eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.
Then it is stipulated that everyone's actions should be consistent, numbered according to the head, and the roll call should be taken every once in a while, so that it is good to know whether everyone is safe and sound at the first time.
Maybe there is still a trace of good luck, a few hours of confusion and confusion, the position where everyone stayed at this time, is not far from the original fire, although the fire has long been extinguished, but fortunately, the wood is still there, and a lot of spare gasoline has been consumed, before the fire is rekindled, just a few cans of gasoline, and it seems that the bottom is about to be seen.
The shivering crowd couldn't wait to dry their damp clothes, and after eating something haphazardly, they all sat around the fire, looking at the gray mist around them in a daze, as if they were in an ethereal and bad dream, although they were not alone, they seemed as lonely as being on an island.
Wu Ze has always been thinking about a question, where did this Bruce go? Was it a man or a ghost who attacked him?
