Chapter 2: Barren Mountains and Caves (Part II)

Zhu Xiao cried for a while, and gradually cried tired and fell asleep, Cao Mianmian sat next to her and held her heavy eyelids, but she couldn't sleep because of the low temperature and cold around her, and she rubbed her hands vigorously and shrunk herself into a ball. Xiao Zhi rubbed his fingers that were about to freeze, got up and squeezed between Cao Mianmian and Zhu Xiao, turned off the headlamp and hugged them one by one. Zhu Xiao had already fallen asleep, and he didn't react. Cao Mianmian also did not resist and got into his arms, snuggling up to each other for warmth.

In the environment where you can't see your fingers, there is no charming atmosphere, only three desperate people use that little bit of pitiful body temperature to warm each other and drive away the cold, hoping to last a little longer.

Feeling Cao Mianmian's body trembling slightly in her arms, Xiao Zhi's arm around her couldn't help but exert a little harder, and asked with white mist, "Is it cold?" ”

Cao Mianmian didn't answer, and it was impossible to see whether she was nodding or shaking her head in the dark. After being silent for a moment, Cao Mianmian whispered: "It's too dark, I'm a little scared." ”

Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "We don't have many batteries left, if we haven't been able to find a way out before the battery runs out...... Speaking of this, Xiao Zhi paused, skipped a paragraph and continued: "So when you don't rush, try to save some." ”

Cao Mianmian didn't answer, she knew that Xiao Zhi was right, but she didn't know why, this dark environment where you couldn't see your fingers would always inexplicably give birth to some kind of cold and fear that went deep into the bone marrow.

Cao Mianmian trembled slightly, and pressed herself closer to Xiao Zhi's arms, maybe she wanted to keep warm, or maybe she felt that only Xiao Zhi's arms could give her a little sense of security here and now.

After being silent in the dark for a long time, Cao Mianmian suddenly whispered something that made people shiver all over: "Yu Xuan, he didn't jump in by himself. ”

Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Cao Mianmian meant, and suddenly felt a cold air in his back rushing up his spine to his brain, and then the pores of his whole body opened up in an instant, swallowing a suffocating chill.

Cao Mianmian's voice trembled slightly and continued: "I was walking behind Yu Xuan at the time, and I could see very clearly that he didn't jump in by himself. It seems like...... Something pulled him in. ”

Xiao Zhi knew that his face must be ugly at the moment, it was not cold, but frightened. Along the way, they encountered too many mysterious, weird and terrifying things, and Yu Xuan was the most normal one among those companions to die, because he committed suicide, and he was the kind that didn't see his body. Compared to him, the way other people died is really called horror, and if it can be written into a book, it can be called the best horror novel in the world. Xiao Zhi sometimes wonders, why haven't the three of them been scared crazy alive yet?

Yu Xuan committed suicide by jumping into a hole, at least in the eyes of everyone. At that time, a group of people were on the way, Yu Xuan suddenly screamed, and then rushed to the mouth of a hole before everyone could react, screaming hysterically while jumping in. And then...... He was gone, no one alive, no body dead. No matter how this group of frightened young people shouted around the entrance of the cave, they could no longer get a response from Yu Xuan. And the hole in the ground is very deep, bottomless, and it is pitch black when you shine it with a strong flashlight, and you can't see the bottom. No one knew how deep this cave was, and no one dared to go down, so Yu Xuan disappeared inexplicably...... Or rather, dead.

Although Yu Xuan's incident was sad, everyone agreed that he might not be able to stand the pressure and commit suicide. But Cao Mianmian suddenly said that Yu Xuan didn't jump in by himself, but was pulled in by something. If what she said was true...... Xiao Zhi hit the spirit hard, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Xiao Zhi opened his mouth, but found that his body was also obviously trembling, took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, and then he asked, "Did you see what it was?" ”

I felt Cao Mianmian in my arms tremble violently, and then I heard her trembling voice say, "I didn't see it." At first, I thought he had jumped into the hole by himself, but then I remembered that he was dragging his feet on the ground. When he said the last sentence, Cao Mianmian's voice was already trembling.

Xiao Zhi hugged her hand tightly, and comforted: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, maybe you are dazzled." Let's sleep for a while, save some strength, and continue to find the way when you wake up. ”

Cao Mianmian didn't answer, and after a while, she suddenly called again: "Xiao Zhi." ”

Xiaozhi: "Huh? He replied.

"You say, will we get out alive?"

"Yes." Xiao Zhi replied with relief. After a pause, as if to cheer himself up, he added more in an accentuated tone: "It will definitely be." ”

Cao Mianmian muttered: "Hopefully......" It's just that her words are too whispering, so small that she can't even hear herself.

The cave was quiet again, and the three of them snuggled up to each other and fell asleep one after another unconsciously, and in the dark and dead world, even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard clearly.

Time, here, has lost its meaning of existence. Maybe only a few minutes had passed, maybe a few hours had passed, or maybe a day had passed, and suddenly there was a faint, creepy sound in the darkness where the fingers could not be seen.

"Smack...... Smack...... Smack ......"

The voice that suddenly came out of nowhere sounded very abruptly, far and near, sometimes clear, sometimes fluttering. It sounds like slippers on the ground, and it feels like heels on the ground, but it's definitely ...... The sound of human footsteps.

"Smack...... Smack ......" The strange sound continued to sound, and gradually became clear. What was creepy was that this strange sound that seemed to be the sound of footsteps was actually slowly approaching Xiao Zhi and them all the way.

The three of Xiao Zhi in their sleep didn't seem to notice the appearance of this strange sound, and they still snuggled up to each other tightly and slept very deeply.

"Smack...... The sound ......of footsteps stopped around them, but only a few seconds later, it reappeared. But this time, it slowly circled around Xiao Zhi and the three of them.

The atmosphere is so depressing that people only feel extremely weird. In the entire cave, only the sound of footsteps that appeared from time to time sounded beside Xiao Zhi and them.

Zhu Xiao still had tear stains in her eyes in her sleep, and even in her deep sleep, she still frowned, as if she was having a very disturbing dream. At this time, she didn't know that her body was inexplicably sliding down little by little, and gradually left Xiao Zhi's arms. And when Zhu Xiao's upper body lost its last support, her head suddenly tilted back, and then fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled "bang" sound.

Zhu Xiao woke up in pain, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub her painful head in a daze, but at this moment, she suddenly realized something strange.

And then......

"Ahh!!h A terrible scream suddenly pierced the silence of the cave for thousands of years.
