Chapter 45: Murder lurks
Around a gloomy venue, watching everyone leave, only Applejack and Lu Ming remained. "You're not going to make it convenient?" Applejack said, bending down and opening the outermost part of her backpack, pulling out a drawing from the inside, which could be clearly distinguished by the black-brown wireframe in the light of the searchlight.
"I haven't taken a sip of water all day." Lu Ming stepped forward, very interested in the things in his hand, after all, he had never seen him take them out before. "What's in your hand?"
"Map." Applejack lays the drawings out on her backpack, carefully arranging the folds of the tissue paper, the resin stained by the years, the dampness causing it to de-oil and seep into the surface, giving it a yellowish hue. The ink is rich, and the surface is even more distorted by the intermingling of liquid and spilled grease. "Long Xiao asked me to prepare it before he left, but this map is old, unreliable, and useless. Many of the markings on it didn't match it, and on the way in, I noticed the markings in several places, such as the old gas station. ”
"That weird ruin, a ruined mansion that exudes a burst of yin aura even in broad daylight?" Lu Ming still remembers that after noon yesterday, when the car stopped at a certain intersection, he was attracted by the gloomy scene outside the window. Even if you don't get out of the car, you can feel a chill from the bottom of your heart, which makes people feel frizzy and emotionally confused.
"Yes, it used to be a gas station, the only gas station on the road to Kennel Town, and there is a makeshift fast food restaurant next to it, and it is said that there used to be a good business, and the supply of crude oil and food has never stopped." Applejack folds the map and puts it back in her bag. "It doesn't seem to be true, the people who rely on the old and sell the old have spent a lot of experience to increase the price of this antiquity for me."
"You, did you hear me?" Lu Ming suddenly frowned, moved towards Applejack, and whispered, "Yes, there are other people in the jungle?" "The friction with the wild grass under his feet is also very obvious.
Seeing this, Applejack's expression immediately became solemn, and he stood up and turned his brain sideways, as if a satellite generator receiving a signal, and the transmission of the eardrum to the sound source would be clearer. Oh my God, there really are other people, who could it be? Could it be Muyu? He speculated, made a silent gesture, and bent down along the source. The ethereal voice turned around and gradually became clear, he forcibly endured the excitement in his heart, and said to Lu Ming anxiously with trembling: "Quick, put out the lights, he is over there." "It's a man's voice, it's already obvious.
Lu Ming grabbed Applejack's hand violently, and although he was holding the rifle tightly, he trembled violently, and appeared in the quiet environment. "Calm down, don't mess around." After all, he is the second-in-command of the team, well-informed, and has experienced a lot of things with the captain Long Xiao, but at this time, although he is calm and calm on the outside, he has a huge impact and endurance in his heart. He was really bitter to himself.
"None of them can escape, they can't escape the palm of my hand! I'll be the first to deal with him, I'll take an axe at his brain, smash the filthy skull, rip his heavenly spirit cover, rip off his fur, and the sparse tofu particles will make me hungry more than the meat puree. Haha, delicious and tender brain juice, I will suck it in one bite, haha. ”
Applejack and Lu Ming hid behind a huge green banyan tree, almost clinging their entire bodies to it, and when they came into close contact, there was a strong pungent smell from the bark that was more repulsive than blood. It was hard to believe that the two big men were frightened and supported each other to avoid shaking so much that they would cause a commotion. "You, did you hear me? Yes, yes......" Lu Ming's expression was terrifying, and his eyes were hideous.
Applejack was silent, the voice coming from a distance was not unfamiliar, echoing through the dense forest, and he exclaimed, "Actually, it's him, how could it be." ”
"Nothing impossible, I should have suspected him a long time ago, thousands of people died in this town, none of them were spared, only he escaped, I should have thought of it!" Lu Ming's words were excited, and his eyes were filled with tears of fear. "What bullshit sheriff, this must be his invented character, maybe this weird conspiracy has something to do with him!" The mood became more and more high, and after learning Sun Lei's true face, he was also ready to draw a gun and shoot a few holes into his cunning and treacherous brain.
Applejack immediately clutched the gun he raised, grabbing his right wrist, blood pulsating faster than her own heartbeat. "Calm down, it's not sure if there are any of his accomplices, if there are other people in this gloomy forest, we will be exposed!"
"You, you mean, Mu Yu, he, he and Sun Lei are in the same group." Lu Ming was stunned, thinking back to the night before, when they were bumped into by themselves in the carriage, they must have been plotting this thrilling torture plan. "Oh no, we followed the mark of Mu Yu, maybe we have entered the trap now."
"Don't panic!" Applejack lowered her voice, gasping for breath, his uneasiness written on her face. "Now the enemy is not moving, I am not moving, and I am not sure that Mu Yu must have something to do with him. We can only take one step at a time. ”
"One step at a time? Lost the header? Do we have to wait until someone else's gun is pointed at our head to know that we regret it? "The preemptive strike played a decisive role in a certain situation." Listen, Applejack, we can't afford to lose this chance to catch him before we go to that damn bastard! Lu Ming's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he secretly said in his heart, Mu Yu, I will definitely let you die at my feet! I'm going to step on your face and stomp your head to pieces, still splattered with blood from your brain, and I'm going to put your head in a different place.
The sound behind the dense forest was gone, and there was no restlessness except for the sound of two restless heartbeats, even the dense foliage overhead was silent, the wind was gone, and a picture of jungle slaughter in the gloom was etched into the gloomy sky.
Sun Lei, who came from the place where he came, did not make a single sound, and the fear in the darkness was invisible, as if it was lurking on the left and right sides and back. He shuddered, and the steps under his feet were like that of an old turtle, less idle and more vigilant. What's going on? Why didn't they turn on the lights, did they all go to the toilet? No way...... Could it be that something is going on? The more Sun Lei thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, he stopped, swallowed his dry throat, and wanted to open his mouth to shout, but he stopped. Because the whispers in my ears spread in this secluded jungle.
"Lu Ming, you use your brain to think clearly, Tan Lin's father sent a team before, and the whole army was wiped out, I bet there must be a lot of articles here, definitely more than two people. We may be able to kill them, but I'm afraid we won't make it out alive. Applejack let out a long sigh, the tension finally relaxing for a moment, and he turned on the searchlight in his hand, and a glimmer of light tore through the dark world. The only difference now is that they are in the light, we are in the dark, exchanging advantageous identities, don't be rash, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to defend. We have to take our time. ”
Lu Ming also knew that Applejack was right, and he might be too reckless. He shook his drowsy brain, people in a state of panic, they can't contain their absurd behavior, anger and horror can often ruin human life. "Okay." Lu Ming put the gun down and dialed back the trigger firing pin. "Let's spare his life first, and when the time comes, I'll take him personally, sheriff? Perform a good show, Sun Lei! I'll let you die without a place to bury! Lu Ming's anger and fear fused together, accompanied by the trembling sound of the rifle, resounding in some dark corner.
In that shadow, Sun Lei was shocked. What, they, they actually want to kill me, this, why is that? Don't...... It seems that they are not so-called workers, they must be in it for money! That's right, I heard it last night, the real boss behind it is the woman named Tan Lin, they must want to kill people, or kidnap them, so that they can make more profits! These murderers! Bastard! Sun Lei hid in the wild grass, covering his mouth with his hands, not daring to breathe too much, and his suppressed uneasy emotions could only be stored in his heart.
After pondering for a moment, until the faint light source outside returned to normal, Sun Lei slowly stood up and walked out pretending to be calm. It's okay, be natural and relax. Sun Lei secretly said in his heart, taking a deep breath, they didn't know that I had insight into everything, acting in a good show, looking for an opportunity to tell Tan Lin the truth, and then taking the opportunity to kill them! That's right, just do it! That's it!
