Chapter 53: The Great Lake
Because of Master Zhang's words, all of us have heightened our vigilance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info soldiers all filled their magazines with bullets and held their pistols in their hands.
Everyone walked quietly, no one spoke. Everyone is suffering from what happened today. The sudden death of a teammate, the moment of life and death faced at any time, the physical exertion of rushing and escaping from danger. All of this is draining the willpower and physical strength of everyone in the team. Now no one is in the mood to say superfluous words. I guess everyone's mood is the same as mine, they all want to complete the task quickly and leave this hellish place quickly.
The vastness of this place is unimaginable. We've been walking for more than an hour, but there's still no end in sight. The footsteps of all of us rang out all around, but no echo was heard. We don't hear an echo in an open area because we were already far away when the echo hit the object and reflected back to its original place. Prove that this is not the average large.
The water on both sides sounded "plopping" from time to time, and at first we all tensed our nerves and walked, but then we got used to hearing it and were no longer so afraid. Although I don't know what fish can make such a big wave, that kind of wave is estimated to be an adult. No, the thing that made the waves was probably bigger than a person.
"Wow!" A high-pitched baby-like cry sounded from the left, and everyone stopped. My heart rises to my throat.
"Did you hear a sound just now?" Captain Cao, who was at the forefront, asked.
"It's like a baby's cry!" Ma Liu said.
"Here...... Why is there a baby's cry here? The commissioner said fearfully.
"Did you hear that wrong?" Ah Mao said.
"Did everyone hear me wrong?" Ma Liu said.
"Wow!" Another baby cry sounded, as if to prove that we were not mistaken.
All the flashlights shone around, but no one noticed anything out of the ordinary.
"I remember that the industry around Longtou Mountain started a few years ago, because industrial pollution caused many babies to die at birth!" Dr. Wu said, "Should I ...... or not?" and he didn't dare to go on.
My whole body shivered, and a chill invaded my body, chilling my heart.
"Doctor Wu, don't be suspicious here!" The commissioner said, "Master Zhang, Professor Li, Professor Chen, what do you think? ā
I thought that the metaphysician Master Zhang would come forward to explain this phenomenon, but who knew that he was just frowning and touching his black and white goatee all the time.
"I can't say that sound! In short, everyone is vigilant, and we move on. Professor Li said.
We were just about to leave, only to hear a muffled rumble in the water on both sides. The water was tumbling incessantly.
"Captain, it looks like something is coming out of the water!" Ma Liu said.
Everyone panicked, what could make such a big movement. The soldiers' flashlights and muzzles were aimed at the tumbling water on either side.
"What are you doing here?" I was both panicked and puzzled, "Do you really have to wait for those monsters to jump out of the water, and then fight them and find that they are not enough to fight?" This is the next step. Now run before they come out! ā
"Forensic Doctor Xie seems to have a point!" Captain Cao said.
Immediately, Captain Cao led everyone to run forward desperately. Then I heard the sound of something jumping out of the water, accompanied by some strange "click" sounds. I don't know what kind of monster it is, or if it's a monster that makes baby noises. But we have to make sure that we are safe first, and we don't have to fight them.
I didn't have time to look back at what was going on, because the road wasn't particularly wide and slippery, so I had to keep my eyes on it to run fast. Besides, I don't want to see horrible monsters following us closely.
When faced with a moment of life and death, people often burst out with unlimited potential. Although we had a little more than two hours of rest, we were all tired, but I think my pace is the fastest I've ever had. Because I was afraid of the water rolling on both sides, of what would rush out of the water behind me, of being alone.
To my surprise, we kept running, but the water kept tumbling on both sides. Are there so many monsters here? I kept hearing something jump out of the water behind me. Judging by the sound, it was something large bursting through the water at a high speed. I couldn't have imagined what that would be!
We ran for more than ten minutes, and everyone was out of breath. Because everyone was running at full strength, ten minutes was enough for us.
"See the end!" Ma Liu shouted loudly.
At this point I saw an end in the distance. It's about where we came in, there was a small clearing connected to a passageway. But this is not the average distance, it is the farthest distance that a flashlight can reach. I guess we'll have to run for a few more minutes.
"Everyone, hold on!" Captain Cao said, "We're almost there. We stopped in the small clearing at the end, and when we were in place, all the soldiers immediately stood guard behind us! ā
"Yes!" More than 30 soldiers responded in unison, and their voices were very loud.
The water on both sides didn't churn anymore, and I didn't hear the sound of something jumping out of the water behind me. Didn't those monsters follow?
"There's someone up ahead!" Ma Liu's words almost didn't scare me.
Someone ahead? Who else will there be here but us? If there really is someone, can it be called a person? I quickly followed the light of the flashlight. At the end of the road, there was really a man in the small clearing. He was slowly walking towards the passage with his back to us in a very strange position. I didn't think what was weird for a moment, but I just thought something was wrong with him walking.
"Who's that? Why are there other people here?" The commissioner said.
"It looks like a woman!" Ah Mao said.
As we got closer, I realized that it was really a woman, as she had long hair. Suddenly, my chest exploded, and I almost blew my soul out.
"Impossible! No way! I said, "This can't be true!" ā
"What can't be!" The commissioner running next to me asked, "Doctor Xie, what do you think of?" ā
"That, that seems to be Xu Li!"
The commissioner almost fell down when he heard me, "You...... You...... What did you say? Did you read it wrong? ā
Everyone was shocked.
Captain Cao, who was running at the front, raised his right fist and shouted: "Stop!" All the servicemen looked around and raised their vigilance. ā
"Yes!" The soldiers replied in unison again, and the soldiers all raised their pistols to watch out.
Captain Cao walked up to me and asked, "Are you sure it's Xu Li?" ā
I kept looking at Xu Li, who was walking strangely, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "I remember her figure, her backpack and her clothes." There should be no mistake! ā
Captain Cao's face also became very ugly, and he then shouted to the front, "Xu Li, is it you?" Are you alright? ā
Xu Li in front didn't react at all, and kept walking towards the dark passage.
"I always thought Xu Li's way of walking was very strange just now, but now I finally remember!" I said, "We've seen her before, and she walks exactly like the dead Ah Chun and Ah Sen, both swaying, and her feet don't seem to touch the ground. ā
"Do you want to say that she's just like Ah Chun and Ah Sen?" Captain Cao said.
"I don't know, I just think they walk in a similar way!"
The commissioner, who had always opposed our superstitions, had been so frightened that he had nothing to say, and the evidence he wanted was right in front of him.
"No matter how much you cheat a corpse, it's just a corpse!" Ma Liu, who was guarding the side, interjected, "Can it still fly, we walked and ran, and it took us about an hour and a half to get here." Why was she able to get ahead of us? And there's only one road here, and we didn't see her cross us along the way! ā
Ma Liu said it very reasonably, and I glanced at Xu Li before leaving. Then we went down the road and saw nothing else overtake us. Even if she can't fly, she has to be able to swim to get ahead of us without us knowing. And it was a corpse walking ahead of us.
Here, there are so many mysteries that science can't solve. My astonishment and fear have reached a new level, a supreme peak that ordinary people simply cannot climb.
