Chapter 35: Horror by the Lake
[At this point, the only thing I can think of now is a call for help from the Honghu Lake, so I sorted out my thoughts and took off the T-shirt wrapped around my head, the bleeding has stopped, but the low temperature environment makes the situation more severe, I can only resist the bad weather first, and I have never felt that the cold snap from the lake can be so deadly. Next, I entered the lighthouse and climbed up the ring ladder. This is not my first time here, about five years ago, when I first became a small town police officer, I often patrolled the lake, and yes, standing on the lookout, smoking a cigarette, and taking in the vast view of the vast Honghu Lake, with the embellishment of the setting sun, it was spectacular.
In an old box at the top, I found a working flashlight and a large 30-centimeter-long wrench, which were excellent equipment for me as unarmed. By the guidance of the lighthouse, I did not see anything unusual on the surface of the lake, perhaps the person who asked for help was just playing a prank, and the silent lake was not as terrifying as he said. After that, I noticed a truck parked on the sand bar to the west of the lighthouse, which is on the other side of the lake, near the ferry. Was it in the car? I guessed, hesitated for a moment, and then followed in my direction.
After blending into the night again, the fear of my mind seemed to follow the darkness down, and I was extremely sensitive to my surroundings, the cold wind blowing through the branches and leaves of the dense forest, and the faint shadows could touch my tense heartstrings. I didn't dare to light the flashlight, because if there was a terrorist attack, I was afraid that they would find out. I walked through the winding paths of the lakeside jungle, tugging at the wrench in my hand, and if I was in danger, I would do my best to hit him in the head. There was no one near the truck, and it was surprisingly quiet, so I turned on the flashlight and carefully checked that it was just an empty car. There was still residual heat on the hood, and it didn't take long for the engine to turn off, and it seemed that the owner had just left.
There are no terrorists, and it is not a time of war and turmoil, I ridiculed my ignorant speculation, after all, I did not hear any gunshots along the way, and I did not even smell the smell of gunpowder. "Is anyone there? Is anyone nearby? I shouted, looking around, the lightning moving in my direction, and all I could see was piles of weeds and thick tree trunks. Is there anyone around? Hey, where are you? I raised my voice, and the shouts echoed through the forest and to the lake, but no one answered.
I retreated to the truck, flashlight, and peeked out of the cab window, the key under the steering wheel had not been removed, but there was no one inside. "Okay, okay, it's not funny at all, I don't care what kind of mentality you come from, you think it's funny to do this? I will arrest you according to the law! "I was talking to myself, but I wasn't, I meant it to him, because I noticed a noise, coming from the direction of the trail, somebody hiding in the jungle, and I deliberately didn't shine the light through, but I knew that he must be hiding there.
"You know what? I'm home by now. "I spoke a little more lightly in my usual tone, gradually moving towards the path, looking down at my watch, it was close to ten thirty o'clock, and I was now bathing and lying on the couch watching the night theater." Maybe I'm spending the night with the people in my arms right now, but I have no choice but to scrap a police car and almost become a hit-and-run murderer, you know? It's all thanks to you! I let out a low roar and jumped in front of a banyan tree about two feet in diameter, and raised my flashlight to shine the light, but I was deep in the grass, and I found nothing but the dense woods.
I frowned and moved slowly, but the friction of my police pants against the weeds still made a faint gauze sound, and I searched the flashlight, like a long-tongued rat looking for food at night. (The long-tongued rat, the largest rodent and nocturnal predator, and even the snake python was one of its hunting species, became extinct three centuries ago, and there are reports that a long-tongued rat weighing one hundred and forty-seven pounds, the weight of an adult male, was captured south of the Yeshi Sandy Wasteland.) )
"You almost wiped out my life." I whispered, having crossed the trail and entered the forest. The strange noise came and went, and I swear, it was definitely not a hallucination, it was so clear that my brain was not messy, now I was only slightly angry, and the fear I had gone. I can't wait to get him out right away and break his leg with a hard wrench, and I want to show him what regret is! "Okay, okay, you're playing hide and seek with me?" The source of the sound seemed to be coming from a pile of weeds on the left, and without hesitation, I immediately threw myself at it, shining with a flashlight in my left hand and a wrench in my right hand, ready to strike hard. But unfortunately, there was still no trace of him, and at this time, although I found that I had already waded into the depths of the dense forest, I couldn't stop, because that guy was nearby, less than ten meters away from me, or even closer!
"You've done a great job, it's a game of hide-and-seek, it's heart-pounding." I increased my speed slightly, probably from the anger, but I wanted to smash his head with a hammer. "You think of yourself as a little mouse, but don't expect me to be a cat, do you know what happens when a tiger finds its prey?" I kept wandering through the dense forest, and at that moment I felt closer to him, and I whispered like a call from the ghost of hell, which I guess was enough to terrify him. "That's right, I'll pounce on you, bite your fragile neck, and the sharp teeth will tear your great arteries and blood fly, and it won't help if you still struggle frantically, because I'll suck your blood dry! Devour your flesh! All that's left is a pile of pathetic bones! ”
I stopped, yes, I knew where he was! Just behind this huge fruit tree, the light in his hand reflected the branches of the tree, and the old bark was like a bloated and sunken old face, and two slightly large scars, looking at it like a pair of strange pupils, like a hideous and twisted face, staring straight at me. I felt a wave of surprise in my heart, swallowed my saliva, and calmed down, and the thought just now couldn't help but make me feel a wave of fear, and even the light and shadow projected trembled. I pulled the wrench in my hand tighter, and even made a clanging sound between the irons. "You can't escape, I'll break your bones!" I roared and rushed over, blunt instrument in my right hand, ready to smash it down on his head! I was almost insane at that moment, maybe it was the fear that came to me, I was a little crazy, in short, I couldn't control my absurd and bizarre behavior.
Sure enough, behind the tree, I found him, but my trembling hands did not knock it down, because he had fallen and was sitting under the stump. I gasped violently, my heart pounding wildly, almost popping out of my throat, the thump of blood echoing in my head. Immediately after, I was stunned, in the light, his flesh and blood were blurred, his right hand was loose, and the wrench fell into the grass next to me, I choked up, took a small step back, and clutched my chest. "Vomit...... "I didn't vomit out, but this disgusting reaction instantly sent a chill down my spine and cold sweat overflowing....... That's right, as he called for help in the radio room, his abdomen was cut open, and his internal organs were scattered all over the ground and dragged into the grass deep along with the messy blood sausage.
Oh my God, I pleaded in my heart, I had smelled a strange smell mixed with blood, and I had mistakenly thought it was coming from a wound on my scalp, and now the anger was completely occupied by fear, and his belly was not cut by a blade, but by something sharp and sharp, a claw? It's the hand! That's right, it's the hand! Teared apart by a pair of bloody hands! Not only that, but all parts of his body were covered in flesh and blood, and his face was full of wounds that could no longer be distinguished, as if he had just experienced a gluttonous feast, but there was no beast to see that devoured the corpse.
I didn't dare to look closely at this terrifying picture, and hurriedly retreated, and my violently trembling legs did not obey the call, but then, an even more terrifying scene appeared, in front of the corpse, that is, in the direction where his internal organs or stumps were dragged, a black figure appeared, it was a figure, at least with the same outline as a human form. My instinctive reaction was to exclaim, "Who, who!" "As I screamed, I shone my flashlight through it, and a beam of light hit him in the face." Princely? Oh my God, why are you here, scare me! "I let out a long sigh, it turned out that he was a wealthy man in the eastern district of Zhendong, and before the dog slaughter incident, his family's dog breed trade was one of the largest groups in the town, and even a farm of nearly 20 acres of land near the south of Honghu Lake was his." What are you doing here so late? I stared at him, and suddenly I remembered what had just happened.
The corners of his mouth were sticking to the black liquid, and even the placket of his shirt was soaked in a large patch. "Oh my God, yes, you killed him?" I can't believe that even though the dog slaughter has completely destroyed the town's economy, he is still on the rich side, and he will not vendetta against someone, or even leave no corpse. "No, no, you're going to go to jail, you're going to be given the judgment you deserve." I tried to calm down, after all, he was just a person and I had nothing to fear. But as soon as I thought about it, I noticed something unusual. His pupils, which had not blinked under the light of the flashlight, were dark and faint, reflecting no trace of light.
......Suddenly, he opened his mouth, bent over, and roared at me, a hoarse and piercing cry that did not belong to any known realm of timbre, and made me creep. What's even more maddening is that the twisted corners of his mouth, so wide that they don't fit into a human shape, cover more than half of my face, as if they could swallow my entire head at once. For a moment, I was reminded of the popular horror movie scene many years ago, mutated zombies. I screamed and fled the forest in a panic!
Ignoring the branches under my feet, my sore knees, and my worn arms, I ran endlessly, desperately. I couldn't tell if the grinding sound that was fading from my ears was from the horrible thing or me. With the stumbling light of the flashlight, I leapt to my feet, rushed out of the jungle, and ran down the trail towards the truck on the lakeside.
Even if the door was not locked, I twisted several times before I could open it, and by then, I was completely panicked, and as I closed the door, I saw several figures rushing out of the path. Seven or eight, even more than ten! Oh my God, I scrambled to lock the door, dropped the flashlight that was still lit on the passenger seat, and immediately twisted the car keys. Boom...... Boom...... The engine let out a loud scream, as if I was afraid in my heart, and I slammed on the accelerator and drove towards the lakeside road outside the ferry, and in the rearview mirror, the taillights were reflected, and I saw the group of dark shadows that were still chasing frantically with strange roars. 】
