Chapter 485: Deadly Cycle (Part II)
Just as everyone turned back, ready to move towards the way they came, they were stunned at the same time.
The location of what was supposed to be a passage has become a different scene at this time, and not only that, except for this hall, all the furnishings around it have changed, and there are only two roads in the field of vision, one on the left and one on the right, and the light is dim, and only a dull red drifts in it.
Not only that, but a lot of things in the hall have disappeared, including those lying in the hall and unconscious.
"Yes." , Xu Qing spat out two words with a grim face, it was obvious that they had missed the best time to escape, and it was likely that they had fallen into some kind of strange situation.
"Where do I go?" Seventy asked, the exoskeleton armor on his body was automatically retracting into the inventory little by little, and in less than a minute, the small half of the armor was completely useless.
Zhang Liang looked left and right, and then suddenly beckoned to everyone: "This way!" ”
He chose the passage on the right side of the hall and walked quite decisively.
Xu Qing and the three exchanged glances, and then Ding Zheng and Seventy quickly followed, while Xu Qing stared at the body that was fixed in mid-air and slowly retreated, turning around and running fast at the moment when he was about to enter the passage.
"Do you know the way?" , he heard Ding Zheng ask Zhang Liang a question.
Zhang Liang gasped violently, and while dragging Zhang Zining to run, he replied, "I recognize...... There is this place in the base. ”
"You mean, she threw us somewhere else in the base?" , Seventy put away the exoskeleton armor in his hand, and then threw out his own question.
Zhang Liang sneered: "Maybe, but ...... It's better not to. ”
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Liang breathed two breaths, and then he looked at Xu Qing, who had already rushed to the side: "This hall should be located in the middle of the F53 area." ”
“F53?” , Seventy reacted, and he lost his voice and said, "You mean the F53 area that has been closed?" ”
"Yes, and it's the source of this commotion." , Zhang Liang's voice trembled violently: "That is the place you saw in the monitoring room before." ”
Ushering in a fork in the road, Zhang Liang stopped, and after carefully distinguishing the direction, he chose the left passage.
"Area F53, which is the junction of the work area and the residential area, is responsible for maintaining the production and processing of some basic materials in the innovation base, and there are about 9 elevator paths in the entire area, and we are now less than 50 meters away from the nearest one."
Zhang Liang said, but Xu Qing couldn't hear any happy and happy tone from it.
In fact, everyone has a wait-and-see attitude towards what may happen next, the only one who may be a little confused is probably Zhang Zining, the frequency of all this happens too fast for her, she is just an ordinary person after all, and the sense of stability brought to her by the innovation base has just been generated, and it was completely destroyed by Su Rui, who has undergone abnormal changes.
And everyone except her has a certain understanding of the image of the female ghost.
Zhang Liang had already watched the video recording of Xu Qing and Gu Bin's game, and Seventy and Ding Zheng learned the relevant information from Xu Qing, so in this case, they had every reason to think that they and the others had fallen into some kind of "loop".
Another turn, Xu Qing was the first to walk over, the passage was still extremely dim, only an extremely dim light flickered...... It was an emergency light, but the light source was covered in a strange substance.
"It's rust...... No, blood stains! Ding Zheng gently scraped with a dagger when passing by, and then gave an answer: "It's the same as the inner world." ”
Seventy's exoskeleton armor was now only the right hand, and the rest was retracted into the inventory, and he pressed the light button on the hand armor, and a yellow light shone on the wall, and then, there was a chilling sound.
In the dim red light, the walls, ceiling, and floor in the passage were not so clear, but in the light of this illumination, they were finally able to see what covered the wall.
It was a rough reddish-brown build-up with some strange textures - it was some web-like object.
Seventy touched it lightly with his armor, and his voice was crisp, and he looked at the crowd: "The metal mesh, the same as the ones outside. ”
"Sure enough." , he sighed: "Even if it is an underground base, it can't escape the spread of the inner world." ”
"Go ahead, we don't have a lot of time."
Xu Qing turned on a flashlight and shone it around the bend in front of him, but as soon as the light passed, he raised the weapon in his hand and took a step back vigilantly.
"How ......"
Seventy wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Ding Zheng with a gesture, Xu Qing pressed the flashlight, turned his head and made a mouth shape towards them.
"There's something, like a person."
After reading Xu Qing's mouth, Zhang Liang grabbed Zhang Zining's arm and led her into the crowd, although she was standing very close, it was still unsafe in his opinion.
The three experimenters checked their stats in unison, and then went their separate ways, and although they were still able to use some equipment, the character stats themselves had fallen to a very bad point, and they were only a little better than the full realistic mode.
Ding Zheng raised three fingers, gestured, and then raised the gun again, pointing at the corner.
"I need 3 seconds...... Whatever it is, 3 seconds is all it takes. He made a lip shape.
Xu Qing nodded, he raised the military shovel in his hand, then patted Seventy's shoulder, pointed at Zhang Liang, and motioned him to take care of the situation behind.
Seventy said that he had no objections, he knew that Xu Qing was looking for something to do for himself, but there was really nothing he could do, and the role he could play in this situation was really quite limited by pressing his strength and wealth on exoskeleton armor and various thermal weapons.
A white light lit up in the passage, illuminating the passage covered in metal mesh and various stains, but the two people who suddenly came out were stunned in place at the same time.
The front was empty, and the "person" Xu Qing said seemed to not exist at all.
"Are you sure you read that right?"
"Sure, it's a tall figure." , Xu Qing replied firmly, he looked around vigilantly, but although this passage was spacious, there was no obstruction, and there was something and nothing that could be seen at a glance.
Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound in everyone's ears when a person was about to die, this sound was almost like coming from a surround speaker, and Xu Qing couldn't even confirm its source location!
But he will not forget this voice.
"Go ahead, don't stop." , Xu Qing reminded: "Also, if there is something behind, don't look back, don't hear it!" ”
At this moment, he decisively chose to believe Gu Bin's judgment in the haunted house at that time, and with his own understanding of these ghosts or ghosts, looking directly is definitely an act that can be blacklisted.
And the sound that came now was apparently made by "Lisa" as she approached.
Ding Zheng and the two turned off their lighting very cooperatively, leaving only a flashlight in Xu Qing's hand to act as a light source, and they followed closely behind Xu Qing with Zhang Liang and Zhang Zining, and began to move towards the elevator that was close at hand.
The dark red light flickered suddenly, and Xu Qing's body froze in place suddenly, not only him, but everyone present saw the figure trembling in the dim light, and they recognized the true face of this shadow - it was just like Su Rui's appearance in the hall at that time, shaking and trembling wildly.
At the same time, the almost mad-driving gurgling sound became clear.
"......"
Xu Qing scolded silently, he looked at the ghost that was constantly trembling in the dark, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
The impasse arose, and listening to the staccato gasps and whimpering, they had no idea what to do about the situation.
"Boom!"
The sudden violent vibration almost made them lose their balance, and the lighting in the passage seemed to be affected, only to hear the sound of "pop", the lamp tube actually lost its light, the original hazy ghost shadow disappeared directly into the darkness, and the creepy sound also stopped at the same time.
Xu Qing yelled badly, he didn't know what this shock was about, but the disappearance of the female ghost's voice was not a good sign!
The flashlight turned on, and the light shone forward, but it was blocked by a face.
The pair of eyes full of resentment and hatred made a close look at Xu Qing, and then he saw the ulcers and tears on this face, as well as the brown liquid that distorted the bridge of the nose and the brown liquid that flowed from the corners of the eyes and mouth, and from the wounds on the side of its face, Xu Qing even saw its gums.
The military shovel in his hand smashed out towards the front almost without a head and face, but there was only the sound of whirring wind, Xu Qing took two steps back in a cold sweat, and the ghost that had just almost touched the tip of his nose had disappeared without a trace.
"You see?" , he asked in a hoarse voice.
"Well......", Seventy was standing closer to him, and he was also frightened at this time, Xu Qing saw that his finger was pressed on the trigger of the gun.
His clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat, and Xu Qing felt that there was even a cold rancid stench echoing in his nose, but the ghost was really gone at this time, which made him feel unreal.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook again, far more than the last time, and for a moment everyone could only reach out and hold on to the wall to find balance......
