Chapter 37: Escape

I walked slowly through the cave, carefully examining every wall for fear of any mistakes. Finally realized that something was wrong. About a dozen paces into my hiding place, there was a relatively large rock. The stone is exactly the same color as the surrounding cave walls, and its position is almost parallel to the cave walls, so you can't spot it without looking closely.

Behind this stone, there is a deep dark hole. It's like another fork in the road in this cave.

Out of an abundance of caution, I put out the flashlight. Dig into the deep hole in the dark. As I walked, there was a choking smell from it, and I coughed. The smell was like something rotting and mildew, but the temperature was quite high, and the smell was so rippling throughout the tunnel that it almost made me die.

I couldn't go any further, so I took out a mask from my bag and put it on, which was somewhat able to block the smell.

The further you go inside, the stronger the flavor becomes, and you can't open your eyes when you can't open your eyes. It was at this moment that the tunnel came to an end. I saw a light coming in from outside the cave, and there were a few black shadows swaying. I stayed where I was, and I didn't dare to act rashly. After waiting for a while, the shadows had dispersed, and then I cautiously continued my way until I finally came to the entrance of the cave.

I stopped, heard no sound outside, and walked to the entrance of the cave, poking my head out cautiously to look. This is actually a very large grotto, and the light is faintly shining from the very high ceiling of the cave, and the light is very dim. I crawled out of the cave into the grotto and tiptoed forward. It didn't take long for the smell to get stronger.

It was black and mushy in front of me, except that the stone was a stone.

I held my breath and reached for the strongest smell, as if I had touched my clothes, slimy. I took out the flashlight from my waist and pushed the switch to shine it. An irregular stone table appeared in the light, piled with a pile of bloody clothes on it. When I saw these clothes, I was so shocked that I almost bounced.

Most of the clothes were jackets and some army green vests, with blood stains on them, and a few trouser belts hanging from the edge of the table. I know these things, it's all my teammates' clothes and equipment. My heart kept sinking to mean that my teammates had been killed.

I was looking through when suddenly a voice came from not far away. I quickly extinguished my flashlight and hid behind a stone table. In the vague light, I saw two mountain monkeys coming, dragging a person in their hands. The man was naked, covered in blood, and had long since fallen unconscious. Letting others fiddle with it is like dying.

I know him, he's a team-mate. Seeing him like this, the little hope I had left was extinguished. They must have been wiped out.

They kept walking into the cave, and I didn't dare to follow too closely, so I fell in the distance. After all, mountain monkeys are mountain sitting, and their adaptability to the surrounding environment is stronger than ours, and they are likely to be noticed if they follow too closely.

After following for a while, I suddenly heard the "creaking" iron door in the dark, and then the footsteps approached, and I quickly hid in the dark. I waited for a long time before the footsteps passed. I cautiously followed the direction of the iron gate, turned on the flashlight to look, and was immediately stunned.

In front of him was a prison formed by an iron bar, and the ground was simply covered with hay, and there were more than a dozen people sitting or lying in it, all of whom were teammates. All of them, male and female, were naked, covered in scars and blood, and their faces were numb.

Even when the flashlight swept over their faces, their eyes didn't roll or look at me. I really don't feel like what happened to them, how did they come to be like this.

At this time, Zhong Xiu appeared in the flashlight. The girl's hair was loose, and she was huddled in the shadows with her legs in her arms, motionless. I extinguished the flashlight, ran to the prison, knocked on the iron fence and whispered, "Zhong Xiu, Zhong Xiu......"

It took a long time for her to react, her eyes rolling, and she slowly looked at me. It seemed like it had been a long time before she suddenly crawled on the ground and crawled all the way over. At this time, she was naked, and I was a little embarrassed, so I tried not to look at the sensitive area as much as possible.

She came to the fence and touched my hand: "Liu Yang......"

"I'm going to get you out!" I say.

Zhong Xiu breathed rapidly, grabbed my hand tightly, and whispered, "They...... They're all human ......."

I was taken aback: "You mean mountain monkeys are all human?" ”

Zhong Xiu nodded and said anxiously: "You can't save us on your own, you hurry up and go outside!" Go and connect with more people! If it's too late, I'm afraid we'll all die here. ”

"What the hell are they going to do?" I asked.

Zhong Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I was caught here and tortured. They punished us with different punishments according to the time we were caught. There are whips, tiger chairs, water prisons, etc. Everyone's punishment is different every day, and if no one comes to save me, I'm afraid I won't survive for a few days. ”

"Where's the boss?" I asked.

Zhong Xiu's expression was sad: "I haven't seen him since I was caught here, I don't know where he is." ”

"Yang Lin is not here?" I asked.

Zhong Xiu pointed his finger, and I shone it with a flashlight. In the innermost corner of the cell, there was a man, almost dying. I couldn't recognize this as Yang Lin, he didn't look like a person, and his body was full of scars. Looking at him, I felt very uncomfortable, and quickly threw off the flashlight, and couldn't bear to continue watching.

Although the heart is like a knife, now is not the time for children to be affectionate and willful. After thinking about it for a while, the most reasonable thing to do is to quickly go out and contact the people outside.

But I don't have any hope for this, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and when the large-scale rescue troops are here, I am afraid that everyone will be left with no bones. What can I do about this, I was thinking about it, when suddenly Zhong Xiu said: "Turn off the flashlight, someone is coming!" ”

I quickly extinguished the flashlight and crawled behind the rocks. I saw two mountain monkeys faintly coming over, and when they came to the outside of the iron prison, they were still holding the key!

They opened the lock, walked into the cell, and seemingly grabbed a random person, dragging them out by two arms.

The man was numb at first, and it wasn't until he was dragged out of the prison that he understood what was happening. Suddenly there was a lot of crying and shouting, and the sound was extremely miserable, and it came far away in the grotto.

I shrunk myself in a corner, trembling with fear and my teeth fighting. Now I regret it a little, and it's really a stunned act to break into here.

At this moment, the man's shrill voice suddenly came from the grotto: "Spare your life! There was also a man who ran in privately. I expose, I expose! His name is Liu Yang, his name is Liu Yang! ”

My brain buzzed, and my whole body went cold.

I poked my head out from behind the stones, and there were no more of them, except for two rickety black shadows around the corner, which fell on the wall of the cave, stretched long.

The man's shouts still echoed. I swallowed my saliva hard, it's over, I've been betrayed, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, go quickly!

I bent my waist and tried to remember the direction I had come in, and ran out against the wall of the cave. Before he had gone far, he saw many mountain monkeys emerge from the cave. They were in groups, sniffing around, and it was obvious that they knew that there were outsiders here.

I didn't dare to go out, so I had to hide in the corner and didn't dare to move.

When all these mountain monkeys walked past, I saw an opportunity to get out quickly, and walked behind me, walking, and suddenly found that I was lost. The caves in this ghost place are already extended, and the light is not good, so I don't dare to turn on the flashlight. The more I walked, the cooler my heart became, and I could always hear empty howls coming from not far away.

As he was walking, the soles of his feet suddenly slipped, and he stepped on the air, and his body immediately fell straight down. It took me a few seconds to react after I fell, damn me, where did this fall? Will it fall to its death? As soon as I thought of this, there was a loud sound of water, and I fell into a deep pool.

The water here is very deep and slippery to the touch. I wiped my face and took out my flashlight to look at it. In an instant, the scalp exploded. I saw a pool full of wreckage, and layers of blood and meat scraps floating on top of the water. It's like a big slaughterhouse.

I looked at my hands, which were red with blood. I can't imagine what my face looks like, I must have been a bloody man now.

What the hell is this place? Could it be that all these dead people were killed by mountain monkeys?

I looked around, not far from the edge of the pool, and I swam desperately towards it. I finally got to the shore, and in the light of the flashlight, I saw that the shore was full of dense human bones, layer upon layer, and I almost didn't vomit.

The stomach churned, and it became more and more nauseous. I held on to the shore and was about to climb up. It was then that something suddenly grabbed my hair.

I looked up and saw a group of mountain monkeys coming to the shore at some point, at least more than twenty of them. One of the tallest was grabbing me by the hair. With a force on its hand, it pulled me viciously up from the pool.
