Danto interjected and asked, "Why do you have to kill?" ”

Wu Lin glanced at him: "It's okay if you don't want to kill them, anyway, if they don't die, we have to die, and we can do it ourselves." ”

After saying a word, Wu Lin stopped being verbose and pulled Li Huaishan to speed up the pace of progress.

I don't know what kind of existence the white ghost is, but looking at Wu Lin's anxious look, I also know that this thing is quite troublesome.

Until we finished the half-kilometer-long tunnel, the white ghost did not appear again, during which everyone carefully watched the situation in the caves, but did not find anything abnormal.

But I don't know what's wrong, even though the white ghost hasn't appeared, I still feel as if something is silently following us.

It was as if we were all elk foraging in the wilderness, and in the grass behind us lurked a huge pack of wolves.

Boss Jiang was right, beyond the mile-long tunnel, there was a wide dark space, and at the end of this space, there was a stone wall full of cave entrances.

Li Huaishan stopped in front of the entrance of the cave again, and it would take him a long time to find his next way out.

Wu Lin walked to the end of the team with a sniper rifle, and when he walked past Jin Xiangqian, he deliberately patted Jin Xiangqian's shoulder: "You go to the front to take the lead." ”

Jin Xiangqian glanced at Wu Lin impatiently, then turned his head to look at me, and I nodded before he walked to the front with his gun.

Wu Lin asked Boss Jiang to fill the vacant position vacated by Jin Xiangqian, while he himself came to my side, intending to be with me.

I didn't quite understand his intention to do this, so I asked him: "What are you doing in the back, you don't know how to deal with wild Gu, if those Gu things catch up, you can't deal with it without Boss Jiang." ”

"I can't deal with it with her," Wu Lin said, turning his head and looking in the direction of the road he came from: "Those white ghosts are very smart, they know that they can't take advantage of them in the tunnel, and they are likely to besiege us here." If there are only one or two white ghosts, it will be easy to deal with, but if they use the crowd tactics, these people you bring will probably not be able to bear it. ”

I said, "What the hell are white ghosts, I don't feel like they're evil corpses, and they're not ghosts. ”

Wu Lin: "The ancestors of the white ghosts, like us, are all normal human beings. It's just that after staying in the dark for a long time, their eyesight gradually deteriorates, and their sense of smell and hearing becomes more and more sensitive, and after generations of evolution, they become completely different creatures from humans. In addition, they cannot build civilization in the dark, so their intelligence will also degenerate, leaving only the instinct of predators, but no matter how they degenerate, they are still much smarter than ordinary beasts. ”

Listening to Wu Lin's words, I suddenly remembered that Boss Wen had also said before that in the inner mountains of Savage Mountain, there had been several human tribes, and it was estimated that these white ghosts were their descendants.

I couldn't help frowning: "Ordinary humans, in such an environment, shouldn't be able to survive." ”

Wu Lin shook his head: "Not necessarily, human beings are more adaptable than you think, as long as they can ensure basic survival resources, no matter what kind of environment they are in, they can survive." Do you know why humans are afraid of rats? ”

In and out of his words, Wu Lin didn't seem to see himself as a human being, as if in his subconscious, he had already demarcated himself out of the category of human beings.

At first, I was a little disgusted by hearing him talk like this, but after listening to him too much, I didn't care so much.

I smiled: "What does it mean that humans are afraid of mice, I am not afraid, not only am I not afraid, but I have also eaten it." ”

Wu Lin: "What I said about fear is not the same as what you understand. In the human subconscious, there is a natural fear of rats, because rats are more adaptable than humans, and the rate of evolution is also very fast, many people are worried that it may be tens of thousands of years away...... It may not be long before rats will be at the top of the food chain along with humans. Ever heard of the Black Forest Theory? ”

I said, "I haven't heard of it, and I don't want to hear it." These things you are talking about are more mysterious than the metaphysics that I have been exposed to over the years. ”

Wu Lin: "Actually, the metaphysics you came into contact with was originally used to discuss these things, whether it was the Black Forest theory or the paradox of the cat and the butter bread, in fact, the answer was given in your metaphysics. It's just that most of the modern people study metaphysics just to satisfy their curiosity, and they have long forgotten why the ancients created this science. ”

I asked him, "Do you know what metaphysics is?" ”

Wu Lin: "This topic is too big, I don't know how to answer it. ”

I said, "Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Famous, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire, in order to observe its wonder; There is always desire, in order to observe it. These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. This is a sentence in the Tao Te Ching, the word metaphysics, which is derived from the words nameless, famous, mysterious, and mysterious, and the door of all wonders. ”

Wu Lin frowned, and asked me in turn: "Do you dare to say, have you really eaten the Tao Te Ching thoroughly?" ”

This time I was asked, and I hesitated for a long time to respond: "Throughout the ages, except for Li Er himself, it is estimated that no one can read the Tao Te Ching." ”

Wu Lin: "Modern people's interpretation of the Tao Te Ching can only be said to be a kind of conjecture, some places have a lot of explanations, but some interpretations are completely out of the original meaning of the Tao Te Ching, plus the Tao Te Ching has been passed down from generation to generation, and I don't know how many people have tampered with it, and now there is no real book. ”

I have to say that Wu Lin's words really shocked me, I didn't expect a killer to understand these things.

I couldn't help but look at him more: "You know a lot. ”

The smile on Wu Lin's face was a little disdainful: "It's more than you think." ”

Just as he was saying this, there was a very light footstep in the darkness behind us.

Wu Lin also heard the sound, and immediately pulled my arm, and then quickly turned around, picked up the sniper rifle, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the darkness behind him.

Here, Wu Lin turned the muzzle of the gun, and the footsteps from the rear disappeared.

I lowered my voice and asked Wu Lin, "The white ghost is coming up?" ”

Wu Lin shook his head: "It's something else, the white ghost can't walk on two legs." ”

His words reminded me that the footsteps that appeared behind me just now were made when the two legs were staggered, and the white ghost I had seen before was crawling on all fours at a very fast speed.

I tried to look at the quicksand of the sea to see what was behind me, but it was so far away that even the flowing sand could not outline it.

Wu Lin put down the gun, looked at the darkness over there and whispered to me: "The current Neishan is not the same as the last time I came in. ”

I frowned, sank in my breath, and didn't say anything.

It took Li Huaishan half an hour to find a way out, he and Jin Qianqian took the lead, Wu Lin and I pressed the formation, and the team once again entered the tunnel with complicated road conditions.

The process of crossing the tunnel was a bit lackluster, and this time, we still didn't encounter the white ghost, and the footsteps that appeared behind us before did not appear again.

In this dark environment, extreme tension and repeated tunnels quickly wear down people's hearts, after Li Huaishan took everyone through more than a dozen tunnels in a row, everyone became extremely tired, if they don't stop to rest, some people will not be able to bear it, especially Dan Tuo, he is old, he was injured before, at this time his steps have been a little fluttering, and he looks like he will faint at any time.

Li Huaishan once again led everyone through the tunnel and into a wide space, I felt that Dantuo was about to be unable to support it, and in desperation, I could only shout to the front: "Rest in place, and act in an hour." ”

Of course, the others didn't have any opinions, and they breathed a sigh of relief one by one, and they were about to sit on the ground to rest, but Wu Lin grabbed my wrist and said questioningly, "What are you going to do?" ”

I shook his hand away and said, "It's been too long, everyone is running out of food, and we must stop and rest for a while." ”

Wu Lin was obviously a little anxious, but his tone was still cold: "When I get to the compartment, I have time to rest, it's not safe here, and I can't stop." ”

I asked him, "How do you know that the compartment must be safe?" ”

Wu Lin: "It is the transit point of the fourfold space, and the evil and wild Gu can't enter, only the living can enter." ”

I asked him again, "Have you thought about it, why hasn't the white ghost appeared yet?" ”

Wu Lin: "Maybe they didn't target us at all. ”

"What if it's targeted? If they're already eyeing us, why haven't they shown up yet? ”

Wu Lin pondered for a moment before speaking: "Because now is not a good time to do it." ”

I said, "Here's the problem, you don't know what they're waiting for, you don't know what we're going to encounter in front of us, you said it yourself, the situation in Uchiyama has changed, maybe the transit point you went to last time no longer exists." Just imagine, if we continue walking, and when everyone is exhausted, the white ghost suddenly appears again, what should we do then? ”

Wu Lin glanced at me, then glanced at the others, lowered his voice, and muttered coldly: "A bunch of burdens!" ”

Fortunately, he only complained, and did not make any other embarrassing moves, and then sat down sullenly on the ground, staring at the darkness behind us.

Wu Lin didn't want to stop, not because his thoughts were not as thorough as mine, but from beginning to end, he didn't care about the lives of other people, in his eyes, as long as he could leave here alive with me, things would be complete.

It is true that whether it is Wu Lin or me, even if I have trekked for such a long distance, I have not felt tired, I am a steel-bone physique, and my endurance is far beyond ordinary people, Wu Lin's recovery ability is extremely strong, and now the atmosphere is not breathing, the road of the inner mountain, the two of us can walk back and forth even if we don't stop, but if we change to Li Huaishan, they will not have such physical fitness.
