My words without a beginning or end scared them a lot. The two men slapped their faces as if they weren't their own, and then looked at each other. Squad leader Liu said with a trembling voice: "Brother Qiang, I'm cowardly, don't scare me." ”

I looked up at him listlessly, "Did you run all the way to the fork?" ”

"No, I don't. That's what I ran down this path. I didn't see a fork in the road. "What squad leader Liu said is not very confident. But the more he spoke, the uglier he became.

I shook my head and said, "This passage is too wide for the brightness of your torch to cross it, and you can't see it even if you run through the fork." ”

It's too far, and if we really miss the fork in the road, it's too difficult to go back, because we don't know anything about this cave, and we can't understand the thinking of the ancients who built it. My analysis scared both of them, and their mood shifted from desperately trying to stay away from the cave to what to do if they couldn't get back.

Platoon Commander Zhao's emotions were written on his face, from dead end to dead end and back again, the roller coaster experience made this soldier almost collapse. He unceremoniously roared at squad leader Liu. After nearly ten minutes of venting, he leaned his back against the cave wall, held his head, buried his head between his legs, and shook his shoulders violently. Even though he didn't make a sound, I could tell that he was visibly trying to control his crying. Platoon Commander Zhao collapsed.

I looked at Platoon Commander Zhao holding back his crying voice, and I immediately thought of Xiao Guolin's group. Whether it is Hu Aiguo, Cao Mingzhe or even Xiao Guolin, they are not necessarily as strong as Platoon Commander Zhao, their current state is probably worse, don't mess up, if they run away again, there will be no way to live.

"We can't run around, let's try to see if we can find our way back." I said to squad leader Liu, who was still blaming himself at a loss: "That, what's the hell about the grimace you saw?" ”

Squad Leader Liu showed a nervous expression and said, "At that time, I was still calling you to look, didn't you see it?" ”

I thought about it, and I seemed to have the impression that squad leader Liu shouted, but it was too chaotic at the time, and I focused on the brachiopod monster, where did I have the heart to pay attention to other things. I had no choice but to shake my head and say, "I didn't see it, don't play me dumb riddles, what did you see?" ”

"The roof of the cave was very high, and the moment the flames burst out, it lit up an area of the cave roof. It's a short time, but it's clear. Speaking of this, squad leader Liu swallowed nervously. His eyes involuntarily glanced to the top of the passage, and then said, "I saw a white flower on the top of the cave, which seemed to be some pattern carved in the stone. ”

Hearing this, I instantly exploded. "Some carvings scare you like this? Just let you bring us here? You lost your head?! ”

Team Leader Liu's face was flushed, and the blood vessels on his forehead burst out. He was very excited, and showed great dissatisfaction with my accusation, waving the torch in his hand and retorting loudly: "You listen to me whether it is good or not, I admit that I ran a little impulsively just now, but after you listen to me, you will know that I have a reason, I brought you in at least temporarily out of danger, and we may have died long ago outside." ”

Due to the violent shaking of the torch, the expression on squad leader Liu's face became more and more vicious. I was starting to worry that he would really burst his blood vessels, and he had a serious dent wound to his skull, which would be a big blow to my psyche if something went wrong. Because as long as there is a problem there, it is an unsolvable problem.

I endured my anger and resentment, and said angrily, "Okay, you say, I have to hear your explanation, otherwise I suspect you have ulterior motives!" ”

Squad Leader Liu also calmed down angrily, and was silent for a while before saying, "I mean, it looks like some carvings, but when the flames rise, those things move." It seems to be afraid of fire, and it doesn't go into the darkness everywhere, and it's very fast. It was also in that moment, at the moment when they moved, that I saw what they looked like as individuals. It's human faces, everyone with a weird smile. You say, what else is going to come down from above besides this thing I see? Was it wrong for me to bring you in? ”

Because of his excitement, the expression of fear on Squad Leader Liu's face was reduced a lot, and his flushed face was like an angry rooster, a fighter among the roosters.

His words left me at a loss and in doubt. It's not that I think he's going to lie, it's that I think he might be dazzled in that situation. As he said, the fire was only a matter of moments, and the next moment it was dark again, or even darker. In this fleeting firelight, it is understandable to missee or even hallucinate. What's more, the suspicious performance in front of this thing is really unsettling, so I prefer that it was just his delusion.

Not to give him the torch was my first decision. Let a suspicious person, or even a suspected neuropathic patient who may burst his blood vessels at any time, decide our direction, no matter how you think about it, you are dying.

I kicked Platoon Commander Zhao, who was still in a state of distraction, and asked him, "How are you, we still have to find Captain Xiao and them, we will go out." Are you listening? ”

Platoon Commander Zhao has basically recovered, at least he doesn't shrug his shoulders anymore. Maybe it was because he didn't control his emotions well, or maybe he was embarrassed to let us see the tears on his face, Platoon Commander Zhao didn't raise his head, nor did he speak, but just waved his hand to show that he was listening.

I saw that Platoon Leader Zhao couldn't help for the time being, so I said to Team Leader Liu again: "What does that grimace you see look like, it won't just have a face." And how big is it, how is it fixed to the roof of the cave, is there a rope to hang on? ”

My question stumped Team Leader Liu, and he thought for a while before saying, "Time is too short, I was already engrossed in watching it at that time, and I wanted to see what it was." But the thing was black except for its white face, and I couldn't even guess what its body looked like. But it should be big, as you can imagine, the roof of the cave is very high, but I can see its face very clearly, if this thing has a normal proportional head to body, it must be a big thing. ”

I saw what squad leader Liu said, and I began to hesitate, I was not sure whether this thing existed or not. However, the dense and terrifying footsteps just now are undoubted, if it is really as squad leader Liu said, there is a group of terrifying grimace monsters chasing us, then the little weapon we have at hand is difficult to play a role in self-preservation. This made me scratch my head, and it seemed less urgent to find a way back, because turning back could be even more dead.
