Chapter 14: The Man in the Black Cloak
"Today I received a call from my brother, he asked me to remit 10,000 yuan to him, saying that he was on his way back to his hometown, I have found out where he was talking at that time, he did move to the south, has gone out of the territory of Xicheng."
"What?" Fan Li was very surprised when he heard this, he looked up at the house in front of him, and thought of the man in the cloak he had just seen.
"Are you saying that Chu Xingfeng has already left Shaanxi?"
"That's right."
Fan Li temporarily stabilized Chu Jianghe and suggested that he send money to his younger brother, and then closely track his younger brother's whereabouts and report to Fan Li at all times. Fan Li didn't tell his brother that his brother had become a walking corpse, and he knew that for someone like Chu Jianghe who had experienced the tomb, it was not surprising that something new and strange was going to happen, but it was still difficult to accept when it came to relatives.
"The other party is not Chu Xingfeng, so who is it?" Fan Li stared at the front, there was no movement in the house, and he dialed Meng Xiang's phone.
"Fan Li?"
"Dr. Meng, I just learned that the target we are tracking is not Chu Xingfeng, but someone else."
"What?" Meng Xiang sounded surprised. "What do you mean someone else?"
"The person we are tracking is not Chu Xingfeng, but another person. We did see him dumping his body in a civilian house, and it is believed that he had something to do with the missing shuttle. ”
"Don't act rashly, the 'Demon Hunting' team is on the way, you try to get out of that place, the danger of this guy has not been assessed, you have to ensure your personal safety!" Meng Xiang sounded anxious, Fan Li hurriedly hung up the phone and nodded towards Ali.
"Tell everyone to retreat."
Ali nodded, but before he could give the order, a scream came from front of him, and Fan Li watched as a member of the search party was pulled under the soil by something.
"Not good! We're exposed, let's go! Fan Fox stood up, gathering the Regents into a spear. As soon as he finished speaking, the layer of soil in front of him was pushed open, and the slag and rubble sprayed at him, and then a red fluttering humanoid object came out, and Fan Li's reaction was quick, and a spear pierced his head.
"Retreat! Retreat at full speed! Ali's voice came over the radio. When the search and rescue team heard the news, they retreated to the rear, and in the process, people were constantly dragged into the dirt by underground monsters.
Damn, this guy looks like he's already spotted them. The passage was dug first. But what made Fan Li strange was how they could dig such a long tunnel in such a short time? Could it be that they had already deployed a defensive line and lured Fan Li and them over step by step?
Because of his doubts, Fan Li was a little absent-minded, and didn't pay attention to the strange looseness under his feet, and a blood-red hand suddenly came out and grabbed his calf and dragged him to the ground.
"Ali! Ali! Fan Li subconsciously shouted around, and he saw Ah Li in the crowd not far away looking around. Then it disappeared with the retreating search party.
The pull below became extremely violent, and Fan Li stabbed this arm with the saber made of the spirit, but as soon as he raised his hand, the soil layer under his ass collapsed. He fell into the tunnel.
Before he could see his surroundings clearly, something moved beneath his body. He looked down and saw that something covered in dirt was struggling, and he didn't even think about it. Raising his saber and plunging it into his skull, with a dull cry, the other party fell to the ground with Fan Li.
Fan Li, holding a short knife in each hand, touched the object. He found that the object was lifeless, and black blood was billowing from its skull. He turned the body over to the front, and when he looked closely, he only felt that his scalp was numb. This is a person, and a person who has been skinned, and what he saw just now is not blood, but the muscles under his skin. Due to its lack of face, the corpse stared at two white eyeballs, and the white teeth looked particularly terrifying against the red face
Fan Li was terrified, he had seen other monsters before, they were all living dead, he had never seen such a terrifying one, and those living dead could still get up and attack people even if they were hit hard in the head. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let the spirit converge into a war hammer and slam it down on the corpse, smashing the corpse twice without any movement.
After making sure that there was nothing unusual about the corpse, Fan looked around and found that there was only one end of the tunnel, and the soil on it was all wet, and it looked like it had just been dug up. Fan Li thought of something, and pulled the corpse out of the mound of soil that had just fallen, and the two hands of the corpse were exposed from the slag, and Fan Li couldn't help but suddenly realize.
Looking at the corpse's hands, they can no longer be regarded as "hands", this person's fingers are specialized into five hard tissues, although they don't look very sharp, but they are very suitable for excavation. Looking at their bodies, their arms are thicker than their thighs, and they look like they were made entirely for digging. Fan Li began to wonder if this was a human at all, whether it was another race or a person who had been affected by demonic energy, and if it was the latter, then the question became, who used demonic energy to make them specialize into a very specific class.
There was another low roar around him, and since no one else was present, Fan Li couldn't be sure if the sound was coming from his surroundings or from his brain. He saw the blue flames coming out of the back of his hand and disappearing when it reached the corpse, and he looked at the corpse carefully, thinking that the Regent could turn him into something, and waited for a few minutes without seeing any change in the corpse.
The sound outside was gone, and the search party was specially trained soldiers, and the speed of the retreat was too fast to be able to reach this point, and the diggers seemed to be nowhere to be seen after the soldiers retreated. Fan Lifu stepped on the corpse and crawled towards the ground, and when he showed up, he saw a pair of big feet covered with black hair.
Fan was so frightened that he almost fell, but fortunately the pit was so narrow that he could firmly kick against the wall. The other party obviously didn't notice him, he carefully looked at the appearance of this thing, and found that he was actually the person wearing the black cloak he saw before, but his face was still not visible from this angle, and he could only find that his body was very burly, and his limbs were thick but not specialized like a digger. The man walked forward, flanked by two stumbling diggers, holding a chain in one hand with a thin digger attached to one end and a dead search party soldier in the other, with many bite marks on his body, but the only fatal was a shard of steel stuck in his chest.
The man walked towards the house, and when he entered the room, there was a shrill howl, and he saw a group of diggers crawling out of the dirt and running towards the house, when the house suddenly collapsed by something, and a truck came out, driven by a man in a black cloak, and the co-pilot was sitting on a gadget. The surrounding diggers got into the truck, and the truck headed for the road.
"Ali?" Seeing that there was no movement around, Fan Lifu hid next to the corpse and shouted into the radio pager.
"Sir Fan Li? Where have you been? Ali's anxious voice came from there.
"I'm still in the same place, but I was dragged into the tunnel by the monster, fortunately, the monster has been killed by me, and the other monsters have been evacuated, you bring someone over, I have a corpse here, carry it back for Meng Xiang to study."
"Sir, stay safe, we'll be there soon."
While waiting for Ali, Fan Li blew away the dust around the corpse, and he looked at the corpse carefully, trying to find some clues from it, but found that the corpse had been skinned all over its body, and it was difficult to find something that could prove its identity.
Fan turned the spirit into a flashlight and walked towards the tunnel, and after about ten minutes, a light appeared in front of him, but this light did not seem to come from the surface sunlight, but the color of the energy-saving lamp. Fan Li walked over with curiosity, and found that there was a wide field of vision ahead, and a small room appeared, and a table was placed in the room, on which was placed an energy-saving lamp and some documents.
Surrounded by private houses, it is easy to pull electricity down from above, proving that these monsters still have intelligence. Fan Li walked to the edge of the table, picked up the document, and found that it was a hand-drawn engineering drawing about the tunnel, which looked very simple, and the person who drew the drawing should not be a professional. There is only one drawer under the table, Fan Li opened the drawer, and there was a group photo and a mirror inside.
He recalled that this group photo was taken during his coming-of-age ceremony, when he was about to go to his grandfather's carefully selected tomb to complete the coming-of-age ceremony, and the whole team took photos to commemorate the trip before the trip. In addition to him, Xiao Yun, Xiao Xiao, Chu Jianghe, Kainu, and Jialan, there were also Tian Mang and his three personnel who controlled electronic equipment. But why is this photo in this place?
Could it be that the man in command here, the man in the black cloak he had just seen, was one of the people here, or that he wanted to kill the members of it? Fan Li thought back to what happened before, Chu Xingfeng did not show the purpose of wanting to kill himself, when he was in the unfinished building, he walked up to the second floor in a daze, they obviously had the opportunity to kill themselves, but they just knocked themselves out. So these people may not be coming for themselves.
Fan Li looked at the photo carefully, due to the age, the names of the three technicians were no longer remembered, he just stared at Xiao Yun and Xiao Xiao, and heard Chu Jianghe say that Xiao Yun was dead, Xiao Xiao had become a veritable rich woman, and the earth-shaking changes between the two made it difficult for him to accept for a while.
Fan Li noticed the mirror in the drawer, picked it up and looked at it, and found that the mirror was broken, glued into a complete shape by the later stage, and looked very awkward. Inside the drawer again, there is nothing but a mirror and a photo.
Fan Li looked at the photo, stared at Xiao Yun and Xiao Xiao, put the photo in his clothes pocket, put the mirror on the table, and inadvertently glanced at the mirror when he left, only to find that in the mirror, a pair of bloodshot eyes were looking at him. (To be continued......)
