"We are at the end of the snake cave," Mr. Zhao showed Su Lan with a notebook, and Su Lan found that in addition to the route marked by Xiao Ji with a red pen at the beginning, there were many more blue branch roads added by Mr. Zhao, "From here, walking back will go around the edge of the big lake." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis area is the main activity area of Yuba, and it does not have much intersection with our route. This is the route I came from, let's go back the way we came, and then go up, and if nothing else, we can leave this snake cave in three hours. ”

Su Lan pointed to the place where Mr. Zhao said to go up and then go back, Mr. Zhao drew a circle with a blue pen and filled a fork inside: "What is this place?" ”-

"The Cave."

"The Cave?"

"Anyway, it's a place I don't want to go to again," judging from Mr. Zhao's shocked expression, Su Lan concluded that he had encountered something quite unbelievable there, "If I do it again, I will definitely not be able to get out of there alive." ”

Since Mr. Zhao said so, Su Lan couldn't raise any objections to his line. The two walked back along the route Mr. Zhao had taken when he came. Mr. Zhao took out two crumpled Dove chocolates from his bag: "The last bit of stock is up, I see that Xiao Su is not in a good mental state, so I ate it to replenish some physical strength." ”

Su Lan took it in her hand and tore open the wrapping paper. The chocolate has become unrefurbished due to the hot environment, but after going through so much, Su Lan is still quite grateful for this inconspicuous care. Along the way, Su Lan kept the sound of rustling in her ears, it was very small at first, and the further back she went, the louder the sound became: "What kind of sound is it, is there a mouse in this kind of place?" ”

"It's a bat." Mr. Zhao paused and listened for a while and replied, "Bats are very sensitive to sound and light, so don't make a noise for the rest of the road, be careful of provoking them." ”

Su Lan thought to herself that if he was chased by snakes, insects, giant eels, and then harassed by a nest of bats, then his experience would really be legendary to a certain level. But fortunately, the rustling continued for a few minutes and then gradually subsided, and it seemed that God was finally willing to treat him better after pit him countless times. As soon as Su Lan thought about it, she saw that Mr. Zhao's expression was a little wrong: "What's wrong?" ”

"There's someone next door." Mr. Zhao said.

"Huh?" Su Lan quickly calculated in her heart, and felt that it could only be Zhang Xuan and them, "It should be your own people, do you have any way to let them know that we are here?" ”

"Don't jump to conclusions." Mr. Zhao whispered, took off the duffel bag on his back and put it on the soles of his feet, looked up, jumped up and grabbed a protruding rock above his head with his fingers, and climbed up with some effort, "Hand me the bag, and I'll pull you up." ”

Only then did Su Lan realize that they had come to the fork in the road that Mr. Zhao said. When I looked up, I really found that there were countless cracks in the stone wall above my head, and Mr. Zhao stuck his body in the biggest crack, and when Su Lan was observing, Mr. Zhao urged: "Hurry up, it's too late." ”

Su Lan stood on tiptoe and handed the duffel bag to Mr. Zhao, who was reaching down. Mr. Zhao took the bag and put it back on his back and stretched out his hand to Su Lan again, Su Lan jumped up and grabbed the edge of the stone crack with his waist and abdomen at the same time, and hooked his toes like a hook on the ceiling, and it took a lot of effort to be dragged by Mr. Zhao and climb up: "I'll go, my stomach hurts and I'm about to waste it, and I will definitely do more sit-ups in the future-" Mr. Zhao covered his mouth halfway through, looked sideways at Mr. Zhao, and said with his mouth: "It's coming." Don't be silent. ”

Oh. Su Lan nodded to show that she understood, and Mr. Zhao put down his hand to support the edge of the gap, and his fingertips were a little white because of excessive force. Su Lan looked around and felt that this place was more of a secret passage than a gap. Although the width is at most enough for two people to walk side by side, the activity space is okay, the angle of upward inclination is not so tricky, and there are protruding rocks on both sides of the stone wall from time to time, like the fulcrum of rock climbing, which is easy for people to climb. Just then, there was a movement directly below: "Where-is-Season?" ）”

Su Lan recognized this fierce male voice as the voice of the red-haired captain Black. Then Jack's nervous voice came over: "I-saw-him-but-a-minute-bygone!" ）”

“I-ask-where-is-him? (I asked where he was now!) Black's voice was filled with anger and panic. Zhang Xuan's voice was quite gloating: "That guy surnamed Ji appeared from time to time when he was with us, and suddenly dumped you, what's so strange-" Speaking of this, the sound of slapping the flesh was surprisingly loud, and it has always been a foreigner who slapped Zhang Xuan directly in anger.

"You-" Su Lan rushed up with anger, and as soon as she moved, she was held down by Mr. Zhao to calm down. Su Lan took a deep breath and continued to listen. Jack asked Zhang Xuan, "You have been walking on Mr. Ji's right just now, have you noticed when he disappeared?" ”

"Didn't you also walk on his left," Zhang Xuan's voice was a little unsteady, and he couldn't tell if it was because of humiliation or anger, "You said that you saw him a minute ago, and it was gone in a minute." ”

"Mr. Su disappeared in the lake, and Mr. Ji disappeared again in a few minutes. If you have any plans before, it is better to recruit them from the actual situation, so as not to suffer. ”

"Heh, that's funny. I was obviously the first to go into the water in the lake, and Su Lan was with you in the back, so you can't rely on me no matter what he doesn't do. The surname Ji is Mr. Zhao's person, and he has nothing to do with me, and he hasn't talked to me as many as you foreigners, so where can I know where he has any plans. ”

"You-"

Shut-up!-There's something-behind. There's something in the back. ）”

Su Lan was startled at first when she thought they had discovered herself and Mr. Zhao, but there was no more movement for a long time. When Su Lan couldn't sit still, she heard Zhang Xuan's voice sound, and she trembled uncontrollably: "Old ...... Old Joe? ”

The answer to her was the sound of a foreign object swallowing that hardly looked like a human being, and the sound of the gun being loaded rang out one after another, and Zhang Xuan exclaimed, "Wait! Wait a minute! He's my accomplice—" Before he finished speaking, gunshots rang out, and several guns fired at the same time, echoing so loudly in the small space that it almost deafened Su Lan's ears.

Old Joe ...... Su Lan saw the middle-aged veteran smiling and teasing in front of him, his hands clenched into fists. The gunfire was followed by the sound of gasps, and one man asked, "Dead?" ）”

“I-think-so… what-the-hell?! (I think so...... What the heck?! Hearing the exclamation of the foreigner, countless thoughts turned in Su Lan's mind in an instant: Old Qiao is not dead?! How could a living person not die after being shot so much, or was something wrong? At this moment, the sound of foreign objects swallowing sounded clearly again.

“Monster!” Black's screams made Su Lan's blood freeze. Is this why Mr. Zhao kept his mouth shut? Old Joe is no longer a human to become a monster? Does it have anything to do with what he said about the maze?

The screams came and went, and gradually subsided, followed by the sound of footsteps that gradually faded away. Su Lan had been holding her breath, and now she was trembling uncontrollably. The thought of the consequences of if they hadn't hid on it just now made my scalp blow up and my brain went blank. Mr. Zhao's face was not much better than Su Lan's, and he pointed upward: "Let's go." ”

"Zhang Xuan is still down there."

"Do you think you have what it takes to save her?" Mr. Zhao's voice was as hard as a whip, "You don't even have the skills to protect yourself." ”

"She's my hair small!" Su Lan roared back, "You should be as cold-blooded as you?!" Only care about yourself, and don't care about the life or death of others?! ”

"Ridiculously naïve little ghost. The dead carry the virus, and after half an hour, they will become a monster like Lao Qiao. It took me nine deaths to escape, and if you are willing to die, I will not stop you, you can go down yourself. ”

"You-" Su Lan had never seen Mr. Zhao's cold and hard eyes, and she immediately understood that he was serious, and the swearing words were stuck in her throat and couldn't go on.

"Go up or go down, choose for yourself." Mr. Zhao said as he stood up straight, grasping the protruding stones on the stone wall with his hands and climbing up little by little.

Su Lan looked at the gap under her feet, it was swarthy without lights, like an abyss, and scolded in her heart I am really a fucking bastard who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and then climbed up with Mr. Zhao.
