Chapter 24: Are You Going to Die?
I didn't take a few steps after turning right at the intersection when my pace started to slow down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The road is also quite narrow, only two or three meters wide, but the left and right sides are not walls, but iron prisons. I swallowed heavily.
My torches have a limited illumination range and can only illuminate the middle path, so the iron prisons on the left and right sides are pitch black. I walked slowly and slowly, step by step, and my hand holding the torch was shaking. It always feels like there's something trapped in these iron prisons. But I didn't dare to look closely, so I could only try not to make a sound, not to alarm anything here, and to walk out of the area safely.
I kept walking, and there were iron prisons on both sides of the road. I glanced lightly. An iron prison is about four or five meters wide, and due to the light, it is difficult to see how deep it is. The iron prison is quite dilapidated, and all of it is rusty, which is probably the reason for its age. But the rust does not seem to affect the firmness of the iron fast. Because the iron prison is built with very thick iron bars, the iron bars are about the size of a fist. I'm wondering: what is such a thick iron prison used to trap?
"Boom," another chain scraping sound, came from the darkness ahead. My hairs stood on end. When I didn't turn into this road just now, when I heard the sound of chains, I wished it was the sound of the mechanism grinding, I didn't want any living creatures here, I should say I didn't want any moving monsters here. But when I saw the iron prison here, I couldn't help but think that there might be some monster trapped inside.
"Bang" "Bang" The footsteps behind him are getting louder and louder, proving that the thing following behind him is getting closer and closer. The sound of this jumping footstep is most likely the zombie. My heart was shocked again. Now there are tigers in front and wolves in the back, and there is no way back. The wolf in the back is eight or nine, but the thing in front is not a paper tiger, which has to be confirmed to know. So it's better to walk the road ahead.
At this time, the light of the torch in his hand is smaller, and it feels like it will be extinguished at any time. My gait was fast, and I could only hold the torch with one hand.
"Bang", "bang", I hadn't taken a few steps before there was another noise in front of me, this time with the sound of chains rubbing, then the sound of heavy logs crashing against each other. Suddenly there was another voice, and I was quite scared, but it was impossible to stop at this time.
I thought I was just going to keep walking forward quickly, and if there was a road ahead, I could only stay where I was and fight to the death with the zombie. But the zombie should have died early, and it should have fought me to death or I lived. But the scene ahead made me have to stop.
I saw a big hole in the iron prison in front of the right, and the hole was big enough for two adults to enter and exit together. What made me stop was that the hole wasn't broken by rust, but by something. Although the iron prisons here are a bit old and rusty, they are all surrounded by fairly thick iron bars, what kind of strength can make such a big hole? The more important point is that the iron bar is bent outward, which proves that the hole was knocked out from the inside. I don't dare to think about it anymore.
I looked at the black iron prison, and goosebumps rose all over my body. Driven by intense curiosity, my hand holding the torch involuntarily reached into the iron prison, eager to see what the structure was inside. The cracks in the iron bar are very old, and the contents should have come out a long time ago, and I wonder if there is anything left inside.
My torches are almost extinguished, so the lighting range is limited. I'm trying to put the torch in with my hands. As the torches reached the deepest part of the prison, a breeze blew from the left. The already weak torch was extinguished at once. All of a sudden, it was completely dark, and my heart sank.
Another sound of chains rubbing came from the iron prison directly behind, this sound was very close, very crisp and loud. At this moment, my heart shook, and my whole body fell into numb fear.
"Ahh The sudden extinguishing of the torches, and the sound of chains getting close behind me, made me scream.
At this time, you can't see your fingers, and in these secret passages, if you don't have a light source, you will fall into complete darkness. This kind of darkness is not the same as being outdoors without a light source, even if there is no light source at night, and there are no stars or moon, but the sky will still shine slightly. But here, it's complete darkness, the kind of darkness that you can't see even when you put your hands in front of you. The human vision is completely obliterated. This sudden turn of events made me panic to the extreme.
"Pap" "Pap" The footsteps behind him suddenly became very clear. The zombie should have turned this way. It's not far from me. My heart was beating faster than ever. I thought to myself: Did he hear my cry? It's miserable, there is no light source at this time, and I don't know if the road ahead can still be walked. If that zombie pounces, I'm not going to survive nine times out of ten.
Immediately I stood still and did not dare to make any movements, for fear of making some noise and luring the zombie over. At the same time, I was holding my breath. Because when watching "Zombie Dao Chief", zombies will follow the breath exhaled by people. I don't know if it's true, but I'd rather believe it than not.
I held my breath, but the footsteps didn't stop at all, and the zombie kept jumping towards me. Once again, it proves that the TV series is a lie. I turned around and was about to run away, regardless of whether there was a road ahead of me, and it was better to run than to sit here and wait for death. Suddenly, I was startled by a loud crash of wood from the iron prison on the left. At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of the chain breaking. I felt like something was coming out of the chains in the iron prison on the left. There's no time for me to think about it. No matter what monster escapes, the zombies in the back are enough for me anyway, and it doesn't matter if there is one more. I ran forward at full speed with my feelings.
At this time, I heard the footsteps of the zombie behind me suddenly speed up, "His boss's, will speed up!" ā
Suddenly there was the sound of something crashing into the iron prison behind him, and the direction was probably in the cage where the chain had been broken just now. The sound was so loud that it filled the whole dark and narrow space that it made me feel terrified. At this point, I was sure that something in the iron prison must have broken free from the chains and was about to come out, and that the monster must have considerable strength.
What a dangerous thing it is to run at full speed in a completely dark space. If a small rock trips and a person falls, it is likely to be fatal. Or there's a wall in front of you, some protruding rocks, or something, and the part of your body that you hit is probably going to be scrapped. But there's not much to do about it. It's better to be killed or fall to death than to be chased by the two monsters behind you, I don't know how many times. Behind me was the sound of jumping footsteps and crashing into the iron prison. No matter what kind of monster is in the iron prison, the iron prison is surrounded by iron bars thick with fists, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to break through in a short time. At present, the zombies that are speeding up to chase are the biggest scourge.
During the run, I tripped over some bumps and almost fell, but luckily I was able to get on my feet and continue running wildly. After climbing the mountain in Baiyun Mountain, running crazy in Songtao Courtyard and the ancient village, and walking for several hours, my physical strength has long been overdrawn, and now what supports my running is the consciousness of survival. So the speed obviously doesn't feel like it's running as fast as after meeting the smiling doll in the Songtao Villa before.
To my surprise, I found that the zombie behind me was jumping faster and faster, and when I met it in the back room of the hall outside, its movements were not as slow as those zombies watching TV series, and its speed was basically close to my usual trot, but now its speed was actually close to the speed of my crazy running, and even seemed to be faster than my running speed. I felt the footsteps behind me getting closer and closer. My heart is about to explode, and the zombie will soon be able to catch up with me.
In the blink of an eye, the zombie's footsteps were already close at hand. I clenched the extinguished torch in my hand as I ran. Death is death, and I have to give that zombie a few blows to me.
Suddenly I felt a strong wind blow behind me, and then I fell, and the zombie threw me to the ground. Endless fear swept over me. I struggled desperately, picked up the stick in my right hand and was about to hit it behind me, but the zombie then pressed my hand against my back. Then I clenched my left hand into a fist and tried to push back, and then my left hand was pressed against the zombie's body. I tried to move my foot and kick him, but my knee joint was pressed by the zombie's foot and I couldn't move.
Now I'm lying on the ground, and the zombie is behind me. My hands and feet were pressed against it, its head reaching for my neck, and I felt like it was about to open its mouth and prepare to bite my great arteries.
