Chapter 52: The Man's Ghost

We walked out of the hospital after the corpses were far away. At this time, the water in the subway should not have subsided, and it is not realistic to return to the mall from there. We had to walk around the block and then back to the mall from the city's main road.

The sun was shining high in the sky, and the glazing glass of the surrounding buildings reflected dazzling light. We walked left and right, and the dead kept pouring out of the building, and then gathered together and paced in the same direction.

Like a horde of corpses attracted by the "sentinels", these dead people walked forward without distraction, not even noticing that we were passing by. Soon, an empty artificial lake bottom appeared far away in the middle of the park.

The corpses trampled on the lawn and gathered over the gentle slope towards the bottom of the lake. Through the dense parkland, I could only faintly see some black tentacles surging at the bottom of the lake. We picked up speed and soon arrived at the main road of the city.

At this moment, a loud sound suddenly pierced the eardrum from behind.

"Tweet !!!!"

Immediately afterward, I saw a huge column of gas rise into the sky, and then burst into the air like fireworks, turning into a gray fog that slowly descended.

What is it? But whatever it is, it's not good for us. I looked at a sewer manhole cover at the bottom of my feet, from which SWAT team Xu had taken us to the mall. For safety reasons, we should also not stay on the ground and come into contact with these dense fogs. So we lifted the manhole cover and climbed into the black underground waterways.

"That's all that happened before I woke up?" Lu Feng asked. He climbed off Guan Fei's back and insisted on walking on his own.

I nodded, waiting to hear some analysis of the incident from his mouth, and with Lu Feng's wisdom, I should be able to discern some details that I had overlooked. But he just pinched his chin the whole time and didn't say a word.

The sewers are eerie, and from time to time you step on some slippery and soft substances, which makes people uncomfortable. The long, blackened waterway has a manhole cover every few dozen steps, and the sunlight from it forms columns of light. Walking here, it makes people feel like they have walked into a strange and mysterious passage.

Above is the main road of the city, and if you keep walking in this direction, you will always reach the vicinity of the mall. After walking for a while, the sewer suddenly became pitch black, the pillar of light above us disappeared, and we had to turn on the flashlight. On both sides of the blackened brick walls, there are many irregular passages, which lead to various manhole covers in the city.

"Lu Feng, have you thought of anything?" I couldn't help but ask.

He spread out his hands and said with a wry smile, "What else can I think of?" The things in your mouth are all bizarre, and I can't do anything until there are more facts......"

"The only thing that is certain is that ......," said Lu Feng, "there is a force in this city that cannot be ignored, and this force has existed for a long time, and it has not started since the outbreak began." It's like this sewer, and people walking in the sun can't see it, but it always exists in the shadow of the city, like a yin beast in the dark......"

Lu Feng's description was a bit scary, and I felt a little chilled. At this time, it suddenly began to rain in the street above, and the trickling water began to pour in from the manhole cover, forming a small stream underneath.

We were all walking with our heads bored, and then I felt that it was almost over, so I turned into the side passage alone and climbed up. When I opened the manhole cover, the impermeable raindrops hit my face, and the rain was mixed with strong winds, which made me shiver. When I looked, I had only walked about half the distance, but I could already see the corner leading to the mall in the distance.

At this time, there were a few whimperes from behind, which frightened me for a while. I didn't look back, I immediately closed the manhole cover and climbed back.

As we walked on, the water on the ground had reached our ankles before we knew it, and it was quite uncomfortable to walk. The rain above became heavier and heavier, and in an instant, the underground waterway was like a thatched hut with a broken roof, and the water level rose sharply as the rain poured down from the manhole cover.

"Why don't we go up?" The water had reached her knees, Xiao Rou suggested. But at this moment, dense footsteps and the roars of the dead could be heard from the manhole cover above, as if we were passing below a large mass of corpses.

Faced with rising water levels and the hordes of corpses above, we are once again in a dilemma.

"Speed up! Once we've passed through the horde, we're going up! I shouted.

By this time, the rain had reached waist. In order to prevent Lu Feng's wound from soaking in water again, Guan Fei picked him up again and waded forward quickly. After walking for about five minutes, the commotion above gradually subsided, but in its place there was darkness.

I shone my flashlight, and there was a fork in the road ahead. At this time, the water level had reached his chest, and Guan Fei had no choice but to let Lu Feng sit on his shoulder.

"Lu Feng, which way to go?" I asked anxiously. At the current rate of rise, we only have one chance to choose whichever side we choose, and if we choose the wrong one, we may drown here.

Lu Feng said calmly: "Go to the right!" ”

"Good!" It's too late to ask why, I trust Lu Feng's judgment. Sure enough, after a few steps, we came to the end of the passage, and an iron ladder appeared next to it, and above the iron ladder was a manhole cover leading to the outside world.

Thank goodness Lu Feng! I thought to myself, and at the same time climbed up with a sense of relief.

"How do you judge this?" I asked as I crawled.

Lu Feng said: "It's very simple, look at the old and new walls. The wall on the left is obviously much dirtier than the right one, indicating that the passage on the right should be expanded. In order to reduce the impact on the sewer structure, the expanded channels are generally built relatively short. On the other hand, on the left is the main passage, and if you go there, you will be drowned. ”

Not only is the passage short, but the height of the well is much shallower than expected, and I accidentally climbed too quickly, I hit my head on the manhole cover, and scolded my mother in pain.

Then I carefully pushed open the manhole cover and climbed out of the wellhead. Guan Fei also climbed out with Lu Feng on his back, followed by Xiao Rou, Xiao Jiu and Ye Lao.

Looking at the raging rain below, we all breathed a sigh of relief. But just as I was looking around with my flashlight, something moved in the corner, and it was a foot!

As soon as the light shone on it, the foot shrank in fear.

"No, don't come here!" A girl's voice sounded familiar from around the corner.

When I aimed my light at her face, the girl reflexively covered her eyes and curled into a ball.

"Xiao Lin?!" I screamed in surprise as I ran over.

"Don't, don't come, don't kill me!" She kept resisting with her hands, her voice trembling.

"It's me, Li Chen!" I shouted.

“…… It's you? She screamed, and with a "whoosh" flew at me.

I hugged her gently, and my body trembled violently, and I unconsciously hugged her a little tighter.

"What the hell is going on?" At this time, a group of people also walked over, and the atmosphere became strange and uneasy.

It suddenly occurred to me that since Xiao Lin is here, doesn't it mean that this is ......?

I nervously looked around with my flashlight again, and not far away there were dazzling costumes and many dummies, none other than the clothing section of the underground mall! I didn't expect us to come back here by mistake.

Xiao Lin's body was still trembling, and her teeth were chattering.

"Don't be afraid, we're all back, tell us what's going on here!" I grabbed her arms and calmed her down.

She sobbed, tears falling from her eyes, and she said intermittently, "After you leave...... They are also gone...... And then people began to die one after another...... And then, and then the ghost of the man appeared......"

"The man's ghost?" At the same time, we asked questions.

"It's Zhao ...... Mr. Zhao! ”

My head slammed to the ground, and my breath became short, yes, it's Zhao Yinxiang?! He's alive?!
