The old man also seemed to be in a hurry, so the strength in his hand became stronger than before. I wanted to reach out and choke his neck again, but I didn't have the strength in my hand anymore.

At this moment, I saw a figure flash in front of me, followed by a cold light: Huh

The cold light flashed before my eyes, and immediately a feeling of exhilaration.

Are you okay? Captain Liu pulled me up from the ground: Damn, I ran so fast, I didn't hit a knife.

Ahem cough I clutched my neck and coughed: I'm fine, after chasing after I pulled out the machete from my waist and jumped into the tunnel in front of me, this time I didn't dare to be empty-handed.

I don't know why I wasn't scared at all, maybe it was because I already knew that the old man wasn't some kind of demon, so I lost my fear of him.

It's a pity that after I jumped down the tunnel, I took a flashlight and shone it at both ends a few times, but I didn't see the old man.

This is the old man you are talking about? Captain Liu also jumped down with me.

Well, that's him! I said. Although the old man was a little different tonight, and his face was covered with a lot of blood, I was sure it must have been him, because there could be no one else in Lotus Village but him.

Damn, it's so scary, it almost scared the hell out of me! Captain Liu had a palpitating face: Brother, why didn't you tell me in advance that the old man was so terrifying, damn, his soul was almost scared off by him. If I hadn't seen you strangled to death by him, I wouldn't have reacted!

I was speechless for a while, I didn't expect that the big man in front of me was more timid than me. But fortunately, he didn't turn around and run away in fright, otherwise I would have been strangled to death here by the old man.

Actually, I had long thought that the old man might pretend to be a ghost to scare us, but I didn't expect that this time he would appear directly behind me and attack me.

Brother Liu, this old man is a bit eccentric, we must always be careful. I comforted Captain Liu, and then took a flashlight to the passage on the left and right sides: This passage is similar to the passage we went down yesterday, and it turned a corner not far in the past, although the old man was a little lame, but he moved quickly, and I didn't see him as soon as I jumped down.

Damn, how can a cripple run so fast? Captain Liu said.

Maybe he just has a leg that's a little weak, and he shouldn't be very lame. I briefly analyzed it, and then quickly looked down to check the footprints on the ground.

But when I shone the flashlight on the ground, I found that this tunnel was full of footprints, and I was dazzled.

It was obvious that the old man had been walking through the tunnels a lot, which was why he had left so many footprints.

It was also at this time that I understood why Li Dapeng was mysteriously hung on the beam of the house several times. And that day, Zhang Yihan was hung up unknowingly, and it must have been the ghost that this old man got out of the coffin.

Why don't you split up and chase him, you can't tell which way he ran with so many footprints? Captain Liu said.

Not necessarily, I retorted: I heard Ge Lao say that people who walk more quickly have different footprints than usual, and the steps that walk quickly must be larger than usual, and the lower feet will be heavier than usual. As I spoke, I carefully observed the footprints on the ground.

At that moment, there was a soft thud from the beams overhead. I raised my flashlight to shine on it, and found that Li Dapeng and his mother, who were originally hanging on the beams of the house, were swinging back and forth, which looked quite penetrating.

brother, let's put her down first, let her hang like this weird and scary. Captain Liu asked.

Well, go and get her down, and I'll check the footprints here to see which way the old man is running. I said.

Good! After Captain Liu finished speaking, he crawled out of the tunnel. Immediately afterward, I saw him looking for something to put his feet on.

It was then that I suddenly noticed a somewhat different footprint.

The footprints were noticeably larger, and the footprints themselves were larger than the others, kicking the dirt high behind them when they stepped on the ground. It's like running on the beach, leaving footprints that are definitely a small pit that rises at the back.

As soon as I saw these footprints, I thought of Zhao Xiaotian, this kid is relatively tall, and he is about 1.8 meters, and his feet will definitely not be small, and the footprints I saw are estimated to match. At least I can already conclude that the footprints are definitely not the old man's.

I hurriedly looked up to look at Captain Liu, only to see that the person on the beam of the room was gone: Brother Liu, there is a clue, hurry up.

Strangely, I waited for a while and there was no response at all, it was very quiet.

Some strange things have happened in the past few days that have made me very vigilant. I quickly took my flashlight and shone it in the tunnels on both sides, but I didn't see the old man. I quickly stretched out my hand and jumped towards the entrance of the tunnel.

The fog was heavy at night, and the hall was covered in a thick layer of fog.

Brother Liu, Brother Liu, I quickly shouted twice.

As soon as the screaming stopped, I heard a barely audible sound coming from the direction of the patio. The sound was accompanied by the sound of weeds swinging.

I hurriedly grabbed the flashlight in one hand and rushed towards the patio with a machete in the other.

Due to the low visibility, you can only see the scenery within 20 or 30 centimeters of the surrounding area, and it is too difficult to find someone in such conditions.

Luckily, my ears were sharper, and when I rushed to the patio, I heard the weeds swaying louder. I quickly followed the sound and noticed that the sound of the weeds swaying seemed to be moving.

Soon I noticed that there was a path twenty or thirty centimeters wide in the grass in front of me. It's not a path, to be exact, but rather like a man being dragged to the ground and pressed over.

I screamed badly and sped up, and in a few moments I saw something that drove me almost mad.

I saw two people in front of me pinching each other's necks, Captain Liu in a white chemical protective suit was lying on the ground, and another white-haired old man in black was standing behind his head. What's even worse is that the person who pinched Captain Liu's neck turned out to be Li Dapeng's mother.

I saw that she was holding Captain Liu's neck with both hands at this time and was constantly retreating, while Captain Liu was lying on the ground and pinching her neck and was dragged to the ground by her

Let go of her, since I was already very close to them at this time, I just screamed and slashed at Li Dapeng's fucking back. I didn't dare to chop my hands, because Captain Liu and she were both pinching each other's necks, and I was afraid of hurting Captain Liu by mistake.

There was a muffled pop, and I slashed Li Dapeng in the fucking back. As soon as the knife fell, blood immediately gushed from her back. But what's worse is that she didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and she was still pinching Captain Liu's neck.

In a hurry, I couldn't care about it so much, because I saw that Captain Liu was already rolling his eyes. So I slashed Li Dapeng in the fucking neck.

The knives we used were all military supplies, they were very heavy and sharp, and this knife directly cut off a third of her neck.

With a rush of blood, she finally slowly collapsed.

When she fell to the ground, her hands were still holding Captain Liu's neck, but she obviously had no strength. I quickly pulled her hand away and dragged Captain Liu up from the ground: Brother Liu, are you okay?

cough cough cough Captain Liu covered his neck and coughed for a while, and continued to cough for nearly a minute before gradually stopping.

Whew, Captain Hu Liu took a few breaths and scolded: Damn, what the hell is going on, why did he cheat the corpse when he was a dead man!

What Captain Liu said was exactly what I was thinking about at the moment, but I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't want to speculate, so as not to be afraid in my heart. Because at this time, I already realized that Li Dapeng and his mother had hung on the beam several times, and it was probably not the old man who hung it, but probably she climbed it herself.

Thinking of this, my back was cold, and I quickly changed the topic: Brother Liu, don't care so much for now, let's hurry down to the tunnel, I found Zhao Xiaotian's clue.

Yes? Captain Liu first exclaimed, and then immediately said: Okay, go!

Seriously, I really admire Captain Liu at this moment. If it was an ordinary person who encountered such two things in a row as soon as he arrived here, he would probably retreat immediately, but he agreed without hesitation. The most noteworthy thing is that I can see that he is actually very scared now, but he has not said a word of fear.

This is a real tough guy! What is an iron-blooded man, this is it! This is my evaluation of Captain Liu in my heart at this time.

Thinking about the day before yesterday, when I walked here, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to approach when I saw Li Dapeng hanging on the beam. Compared to him, I was a little ashamed and embarrassed.

The two of us walked straight to the middle of the tunnel, I took a flashlight and shone it a few times inside the tunnel, and found that there was no ambush below before I jumped into the tunnel. At this point, I already have some shadows, so I have to be careful.

Brother, do you carry your rucksack in too? Captain Liu stood on it and asked.

Carry it in, last time we just left the backpack outside, and it was taken away by the old man. I certainly don't fall twice in the same place.

The design of the military rucksack is very reasonable, and the length and width are about the same as that of an adult's back. Except for being a little heavier on the back, it doesn't have much impact on the action. And even if you are carrying a backpack in the tunnel, you can turn around the corner, and it will not affect us. Besides, if something happens to us in the tunnel and we are trapped inside, we can hold on a little more with quilts and dry food.

When Captain Liu heard me say that, he immediately jumped off with his backpack.

Immediately after, we walked in the direction where I saw Zhao Xiaotian's footprints earlier.

Zhao Xiaotian's footprints have always been obvious, we just follow his footprints forward, every time we encounter a bend, we will use a knife to draw a mark on the wall, in case we get lost when we go out.

We walked around the tunnels for about half an hour following the footprints, when suddenly a straight tunnel with no end in sight suddenly appeared in front of us.

It was then that I heard the faint cough again: cough, cough, cough

Brother Liu, there is a cough in front, let's go over and look at me.

Coughing, why didn't I hear it? Captain Liu looked at me with a look of astonishment: Brother, don't scare my brother, don't look at me all the time I haven't said anything, you think I'm bold, I'm holding on!

Didn't you hear? I looked at Captain Liu suspiciously, and suddenly had a very bad premonition.
