9 Outside the warning area
"Oh no," Samur exclaimed.
Erin froze, and the scream came from behind her, piercing the rain and making her shiver. She subconsciously ducked behind Lorne and wrapped her arms around him.
Lorne didn't have any crooked thoughts at this time. It was Jack's scream, and he had left him alone by the cordon because of a moment of negligence, not knowing what had happened.
Samur was extremely fast, and hurried towards the cordon. Although Lorne has gained the ability of shadow step, Erin is just an ordinary human, and he can't leave it alone, so he has to run over with Erin.
When the three of them came to the cordon, they all gasped. The newly repaired warning net was cut open by a sharp weapon, and the mud on the ground left two small but deep imprints, all the way to the bottom of the hillside outside the cordon. A severed palm fell into the muddy water, and blood was washed into the dirt by the heavy rain.
"Jay......" Erin's voice trembled, as if something was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.
Lorne was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He had only been away for a short time, but he didn't expect Jack to be in danger, and he suddenly thought of those pilgrims who had lost contact, could it be that they were also taken away like this?
For a moment, fear gripped his heart, and Lorne froze in place. He feared Samur's blame for his own negligence in killing his teammates. Jack is annoying, but if something really happens......
Samur, as an experienced old hunter, quickly suppressed his horror and whispered, "Let's go back." ”
Lorne suspects something is wrong with his ears.
Erin was stunned for a long time before she retorted in a low voice: "He...... He doesn't have to die, aren't we going to look for him!"
Samuel shook his head and did not answer.
Erin was silent, her lips trembling. Lorne froze in place, breathing heavily, he had already seen the horror of monsters, and Jack was gone for a moment when he left, if he was attacked by monsters, the monsters must have wisdom and know how to attack lone prey.
In a trance, there seemed to be a whisper in his head again, and the voice seemed to tell him: That tiny life is not comparable to you at all.
Suddenly, another exclamation came from the bottom of the hill: "Help me!"
Lorne snapped back to his senses and shook his head vigorously, pushing the horrible thought aside. He broke out in a cold sweat, as if in one more second, he would heed the whisper's bewitchment and give up the search for Jack.
Samur also heard Jack's cry for help, and his heart was shaken. He gritted his teeth and asked, "...... you guys Would you like to go down?"
Erin didn't dare to speak, just nodded slowly. Lorne got rid of the temptation and said firmly, "We want to save him!"
"Ten minutes, follow me!" Samuel said, turning on his eagle eye and waving his poncho as he rushed down the hill first. Erin's legs were so weak that she couldn't run, and Lorne could only shout to take care of her, "Samuel!
Samur was anxious, but there was no choice but to slow down. The four-person team is not good at this, although bringing a doctor can ensure timely treatment in case of emergencies, but if you have to rush, you can only slow down.
The three of them stepped on the slippery rocks down the high slope, and they were very careful, and Irene almost slipped a few times, but Lorne helped her in time. It took nearly a minute for the three of them to walk down the mud slope and into the damp woodland.
It was dark in the woodland, and Samuel suddenly felt bad, and came down in such a hurry that he forgot to bring the steam lantern from the car, and he had no night vision, so he could not walk an inch in the woodland.
The rain in the woods was incessant, and there seemed to be the roar of monsters in the darkness. Lorne kept reassuring himself that it was nothing more than the sound of rain, but he clenched the meat cleaver in his right hand.
"Help me!" shouted again from the dense forest not far ahead, and Lorne became even more anxious, but Samur suddenly stopped.
"There's a problem. Samuel's eyes were grim, "There's something wrong with that voice." ”
It was only when he said that Lorne reacted. Indeed, the cry for help was too shrill and harsh, and it seemed a little different from Jack's first cry for help.
Lorne suddenly remembered what the centurion had said about the mutant monsters, and if they could have intelligence, then was it possible for them...... Mimicking human voices?
After nearly three minutes of walking, the woods grew denser in front of him, and Lorne had to wield a meat cleaver to clear the way. Erin thought that since she had come in, she might as well look for the sickle grass for Shena, so she looked down in the dark skylight, but she found something to gain, and found five or six scythes between the cracks in the stones.
The longer he stayed outside the cordoned out, the more dangerous it became, and Samuel couldn't help but quicken his pace, even though he was still advancing. Like Lorne, he suspected that the cry for help was a monster's bewitchment, and he had the intention of returning.
But what if? if it was Jack's distorted cry for help in extreme fear, maybe Jack was not far from him, and if he gave up and left like this, maybe Jack would really be eaten by monsters, and when the rain stopped, he would only find a pair of corroded white bones.
Samur's heart aches at the thought of Bawin's injury last night, and he is a close companion with Bawen and Luther. Now that Jack was also in danger and could not afford to lose the hunter any more, he was ashamed of the retreat order he had just given.
The third "save me" came, and it seemed to be close at hand. Samuel reached out to stop the two, took a deep breath, and opened his eagle eye, trying to see the situation behind him. But the woods were too dense, and the eyes were full of thick foliage, and the rain curtain also affected the vision.
"Lorne, get out of the way, get ready to fight. Samuel whispered.
Erin was extremely nervous, as a doctor, she had never gone so deep into the territory of monsters, although there were two hunters to protect her, her heart still raised her throat.
Lorne wasn't much better, it was his second fight, or rather his first official fight. He has no combat experience, but Erin is behind him, and he must protect it with all his might!
Thinking of this, Lorne's heart raced, and he stepped forward with a meat cleaver and swung it hard, cutting off the branches and leaves in front of him.
The foliage fell to the ground, and the view widened, and it was the hinterland of the woods, with little vegetation, except for a few tall giant trees with a few gray-white cocoons hanging upside down from the treetops.
Lorne gasped, and gradually saw the heads exposed under the white cocoon, all of which were entangled in white silk, and his face was corroded to the point that his facial features were indistinguishable. He thought of the corpses under the black cloth, and suddenly felt a tumbling in his stomach.
Although Samuel had seen all kinds of tragic situations, he was still shocked by this scene. He froze in place, and suddenly noticed a round thing under the tree, and his gaze was cast with extreme fear.
Samuel was so shocked that he shouted, "Hurry up!"
Before the words fell, a cold light flashed from the forest on the right. Samuel was activating Hawkeye, misjudging the direction, and was about to pull out the crossbow on his waist with his right hand, instinctively dodging, but there was a sound of flesh splitting.
His right arm was neatly cut off.
