Chapter Twenty-Three: No Way Back

I was amazed that there was a mechanism here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

I used too much force just now, but luckily the torch in my hand was not extinguished. I took a torch and looked around, it was a secret passage. It was pitch black, with the torch in my hand being the only source of light, and the darkness in front of me was endless. The passage is narrow, only two or three meters wide, and the height is only about one story high, about three or four meters. Hold the torch and raise the hand to see the top. It's a very oppressive environment.

The zombie was still pounding against the wall behind me, and the sound was very low and dull, and the wall must be very heavy. Thinking that the zombie was only a wall away from me, I couldn't help but be afraid. I think it's better to get out of here, maybe the zombie hits the switch of the mechanism, and the wall turns around automatically, it's quite narrow, and I don't know how to run by then.

The road behind is blocked, and even if it is not blocked, as long as the zombie is there, it is impossible to get out from there. You can only go to the dark front and find another exit. This is the secret passage inside the house. I don't know if this is an escape path or a hidden secret way. If it's an escape route, there must be an escape exit. If it is a secret road, this path is only used to store secrets or treasures, and there is usually no escape exit. It's miserable now, if it's a hidden secret way, it's death before and after.

But it's not too hard to choose. Because there are zombies on the road behind, they will definitely die. I had to try my luck on the dark road ahead.

I walked briskly forward with my torch in hand, lest the zombie hit the trap and open the wall and walk in. I didn't walk long before my pace slowed down. I noticed that the walls on the left and right sides were the same as the outside, with some crooked writing that I couldn't read, and there were murals painted on them.

I followed the mural all the way through. The content of these murals is to follow the outside murals. It was the result of a depiction of the man with the mirror fighting those zombies. I was amazed by this result.

The mural is roughly like this: the mural on the outside depicts all the zombies pounced on the person holding the mirror, and the person finally raised the mirror in his hand, and a burst of light reflected through the mirror. Where the light shines, all zombies fall to the ground and disappear. Coming here, there is a mural on the wall that looks very blurry, it looks like it has been damaged by man, and the contents of the mural cannot be seen. The damage marks are relatively old and should be of a certain age. I wonder why people at that time damaged this mural, whether it was intentional or unintentional?

Then a lot of zombies suddenly appeared around the person with the mirror, and the mural was densely painted, estimated to be hundreds, and surrounded that person. The man remained undaunted, and he held up the mirror in his hand again. But strangely, that mirror didn't shine. The zombie did not fall to the ground, but pounced on the person holding the mirror. After the man was pounced, hundreds of zombies swarmed up from behind, twisted the man's hands, and then disemboweled.

I was surprised. After the person holding the mirror was disemboweled, a claw actually protruded from his stomach, a bit like an eagle's claw. The claw grabbed the head of the nearest zombie, and with a hard grasp, the zombie's head was shattered. The zombie then fell to the ground, motionless.

Other zombies continue to swarm up. Another claw protruded from the stomach of the man with the mirror, and in an instant, the two claws clawed at the heads of the nearest zombies. Then the two paws lifted the belly of the man holding the mirror, and a monster slowly crawled out of it. This monster is even more terrifying than those zombies. It has horns, a wolf's head, eagle claws, and the lower body is a human body, with scales all over its body, and its appearance is hideous. The scales were so hard that no matter how the zombies bit them, the monster didn't hurt at all.

Similarly, the monster was drawn two or three times taller than the average human, and much bigger than the zombies. Soon, hundreds of zombies were killed by the monster. The monster stood on a hill made of zombies and roared into the sky. What makes me wonder here is why the zombie disappeared after the mirror killed the zombie just now, and the zombie didn't disappear after the monster killed the zombie. Finally, the monster roared angrily in front of it, as if it saw something in front of it, but it was not depicted in the mural. The murals are gone when they come here. But a little further back from the mural are engraved four characters, which are two or three times larger than the others, and are depicted more deeply, so they are quite clear. It's a pity that I really don't understand what these crooked words mean.

"In ancient times, it was normal to deify a great man, but why did you draw the contents of that person's stomach so horribly. Are zombies bad guys? Or is that monster the bad guy? I said to myself, "The zombie is already quite hideous, and the monster that crawled out of the stomach of the man with the mirror is even more terrifying." ”

That's when I realized that the road was coming to an end. Here there is a fork in the road. One to the left and one to the right.

I wondered why these underground passages were so fond of these paths that people had to choose one or the other. This kind of situation often occurs in tomb robbery novels, a way of life and a way of death, and now I have encountered it. I can only hehe!

I'm wondering which way to go. Thinking about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. When I came in just now, I thought that this was either an escape path or a secret way. If it's an escape route, you don't have to make two forks in the road for people to choose from, and one passage just goes out? Could it be that this is a secret way? If it is, it will be miserable, this kind of treasure or secret passage mechanism has the most, and it is very likely that there is no exit.

Thinking of this, I hesitated to turn back. Now I can't hear the sound of zombies banging on the door, it may be gone, or it may be that the sound is relatively small because of the distance.

Thinking about the rotten and hideous appearance of the zombie, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.

"Let's just choose a path!" I said, "It's better to die in a trap than to be disemboweled." Maybe there is also an escape path in the secret passage. ”

I decided to keep going, but I didn't know which way to go. So I used "Point Baby" to choose, which is the method that I used every time I was a child, Fat Bao and Ah Ming when they encountered something they couldn't choose.

"Point treasure Wanbao, the one in the point is Fat Bao!" When I read a word, I point in one direction, and so I take turns pointing in both directions. Finally, point to the road on the left.

"That's you." I said to myself, "Fat Baby, bless me!" "I think it's a bit ridiculous at this point, it's all about luck, there's no scientific basis at all. And Fat Bao is not dead, what do I ask him to bless me for!

I walked to the left with my torch. It's the same road here. There is a very unpleasant feeling to walk here, the space is cramped, the air is cloudy, and there is a seemingly endless darkness. This kind of environment makes people's minds very depressing, and it is likely to make people have a mental breakdown after walking for a long time. The only difference here is that there are no words or murals on the walls.

I've been walking along the road, but I haven't encountered a mechanism, but the deeper I go, the colder it gets. I've been walking inside for more than twenty minutes. But it never came to an end. I guess it's no longer near the Flying Corner Tower. Because although the flying corner tower is large, it is impossible to hide such a big place. Moreover, these roads have always been flat, there is no downward trend, and it is impossible to go under the Flying Corner Tower.

That's when my arms started to get cold. The temperature here is definitely not twenty-five or six degrees outside. It's probably only eighteen or nineteen degrees here. I kept the torch a little closer to keep warm, and the light was much smaller than it was earlier. The oil used to burn the torches should be almost exhausted. I quickened my pace. I don't want to walk in the dark in this environment, I'm going crazy.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound of chains rubbing in front of me. I stopped. My cold sweat began to break out again. Where does the sound of chains come from?

Due to the dimming of the light from the torches, the illumination range was reduced to only two or three meters. I looked at the seemingly endless darkness ahead, and infinite fear welled up in my heart. The sound of chains in such a place is not a good sign. It could be that the mechanism was touched, or it was possible that something inside touched the chain.

I'm like I'm in a nightmare now, the consciousness is clear, but the body is not controlled by the brain. I wanted to walk over and see what was going on, but my feet felt like nails were stuck in the ground, and I couldn't walk an inch. I know that this is because fear is completely in control of my brain, and my consciousness is holding far less chips than fear.

After entering Baiyun Mountain, before arriving at the ancient village, the terrifying things that have been encountered are accompanied by Feibao and Ah Ming. Fat Bao's muscular body and extraordinary courage made me feel very secure. The horrors I encountered at that time never scared me so much. After entering the village, although I have been alone all the time, and I have encountered many terrifying and strange things, there are torches along the way, and although the light cannot dispel the fear in my heart, it can at least make me feel at ease. But now, in a narrow, dark space, with the extinguishing torch in my hand as the only source of light, the sound of chains coming from the darkness ahead made me feel more terrified than I had ever been.

The torch in your hand can't be lit for too long, do you keep going or go back? Am I wondering if I should go back and go the other way? Because I didn't know what was going to be there, my first reaction was danger.

Just as I hesitated, the sound of footsteps came from behind me.

"Oops!" I thought to myself, "Aren't the zombies going to come in?" It was quiet, and it should be some distance away from me. It seems that there is no way back, so I can only move forward. ”

I moved quickly with my torch in hand. I was tired, but I quickened my pace, because the zombie behind me didn't know when it would catch up.

It didn't take long for the road to come to an end. There was no road ahead, but there was an intersection on the right, and I turned into it without saying a word.

My heart was shaken, and I was stunned by the scene in front of me. Another wave of fear swept through the body.
