Chapter 568: Strength

I almost believed it, but when I thought of what Bailichuan had just told me, no matter what he said, I wouldn't believe it.

As an ordinary person without special abilities, Baili Chuan's perception cannot be stronger than mine, so there is only one reason that can make him chatter, that is, he has hallucinations.

The word hallucinations circled around my mind twice, I suddenly slapped my head and secretly scolded myself for being stupid, hallucinations are abnormal brain reactions, my mental power has recovered, why don't you check Bailichuan's brain waves?

"It's coming, it's comingโ€”" Bailichuan pulled me back, my arms almost broken by him, and Bailichuan's fear was exaggerated.

I now suspect that the three missing people were also hallucinating when there was nothing chasing them.

While retreating from Bailichuan's strength, I reached out my spiritual power and penetrated deep into his brain to check his brain wave changes.

Baili Chuan's brain waves are very chaotic now, and he seems to be suffering from extreme fright, but at this moment, there are no zombies out of the cage, and there are no cannibals or mutated animals attacking, and his fear obviously does not come from the external environment.

I used my mental power to cover Bailichuan's brain waves, trying to protect his brain as before.

However, I failed, and I found that my current spiritual power could not form a shield, and even I could not use a spiritual shield.

Is there something wrong with my sea of consciousness?

"Blood ......," Bailichuan trembled and stretched out his hand, pointing to the flat hole under the wreckage of the building.

Then he suddenly hugged his head and shouted hysterically: "Dead, all dead, no-"

Bailichuan squatted on the ground, already trapped by hallucinations, I looked at the entrance of the cave, and felt that this was not the way, whether there was anything terrible in it, I had to go in to make sure.

Just as Bailichuan let go of me, I quickly ran to the pile of wreckage and leaned in.

When I entered the cave, I immediately sniffed hard, and there was a faint smell of people in the air, but the smell was too faint, and the three missing people should not have this smell together.

Maybe it's the distance?

Thinking like this, I continued to climb forward, and after climbing another seven or eight meters, the space suddenly became open, and I also touched a box of tin cans.

This is where Gu Yu put the can, I thought to myself, and stood up from the ground, but the height of this space was only enough for me to stand up straight, and there were collapsed concrete fragments above my head, and they could only bend over when they came in.

There were about two dozen cans scattered on the ground, which was too different from what Gu Yu said.

I took a few steps forward and noticed that there was a hole in the ground, and there were a few boxes of canned food scattered around the hole, and the others must have fallen.

A faint breath of living people wafted up from the mouth of the cave, and it seemed that our people were also below.

Bailichuan told me about the structure of the abandoned mine, and my current location is only a mine, so this hole is not part of the mine, at least not here until it was closed.

Of course, it can't be blown up, I've seen a lot of holes, they are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the opening of this hole is smaller than the part below, and the inside is not vertical, it looks like it was dug up from below.

I crouched down and touched the edge of the hole, the dirt was new, and the hole should have been dug not long ago.

Because the hole was sloping, I jumped straight down, and the slope below was just enough for people to stand firm.

This hole can be described as nine bends and eighteen bends, I finally did not flash my waist, finally after the end, I straightened my back and stretched my body, and then sniffed, using the smell to discern the direction, looking for the direction of human smell.

"Sang Rou."

I immediately stood still, looked back at the entrance of the cave below, and someone called me, and it sounded like a hundred miles of river.

My heart is bad, am I also hallucinating?

"Sang Rou." The hallucinations approached, echoing.

"Vice-Captain?" I answered tentatively.

"It's me." Bailichuan replied.

I heard a rustling sound in the hole, the sound of the soles of my shoes rubbing against the soil.

"Are you okay?" I stood there and looked back at the hole I came down to.

"I can hold on." Bailichuan slid out of the hole, and a layer of dirt stuck to his face, mixed with sweat, like mud.

He sweated a little too much on his face, so he said that if he could persevere, it meant that he was not in good shape.

"The three of them are here, probably injured." The space we are in at the moment is a room that has collapsed a tenth of the time, and it is from the corner of the collapse that we have come down.

The door to the room was not closed, and the smell of living people I smelled wafted in from outside the door.

"Leave me alone, find them quickly, you must get out of here as soon as possible." Bailichuan was fine when he first came down, but after standing for a few seconds, his forehead was full of green tendons, as if he was suffering a great pain.

I am sure that there is a power that can affect people's spirits in this place, Bailichuan first hallucinated, and then regained consciousness, and now he can't hold on, which shows that this power is not invincible, but it is constantly torturing people's will, and ordinary people may have given up resistance a long time ago.

"Wait." Bailichuan stopped me when I turned to go out and threw his pistol at me, "It's safer." โ€

This is just a little bit of a safety for me, even if he loses his consciousness and attacks people indiscriminately, the threat to me is very small, but if he is in danger, the chances of survival are much smaller.

I wanted to throw the gun back, but when I saw him crouching down in pain and covering his ears, I changed my mind.

Instead of wasting time pushing around, it is better to find the missing companion quickly and get out of here as soon as possible.

Out of the door, there are intricate mine tunnels, some of which have collapsed, so the earthquake seems credible.

Walking through the dense cobweb-like mines, I have no sense of smell and become a road sign, but I am afraid that I will not find anyone for a day.

I don't know the process of mining, I don't know if I need to dig the ground into a maze when mining, many of them are still dead ends, and there is no trace of mining.

It felt like a suspicious formation, and I had to turn people dizzy before I stopped, and there must have been no road idiots among the workers who worked here, because I walked for a long time and didn't see the signs.

Luckily, my sense of smell helped me a lot, and I sniffed all the way into an S-shaped mine.

However, at the end of the tunnel, there was something like a pillar of heaven standing in a deep pit that could not be seen as far as the eye could see.

I stood on the edge of the pit and looked down at first, but I didn't see the bottom of the pit, and then I looked up again, and the top was not high, only a dozen meters to the end.

As for the pillar standing in the pit, it was hidden at the bottom of the pit at one end and hidden at the bottom of the pit at the other end, like a toothpick standing in the shell of an egg.

I turned on the flashlight and shone it on the pillar, which was thick on the top and bottom, at least the part I could see was like this, and there were regular patterns on the surface, so it didn't look like it was naturally formed.

The diameter of the pillar is about ten meters, the diameter of the pit should be about 100 meters, there is a platform under my feet, and I can still see the traces of a lift, but it has been demolished.

Someone had gone down, and I stood on the edge of the pit and sniffed vigorously, and suddenly I realized something very serious, something that should have alerted me.

The smell of people I smell is always faint, from the wreckage of the building above to this pit, although the distance in the middle is not far, but there are many twists and turns, how can such a faint smell waft out, how can it not be affected?

And when we arrived at the 'end' of the mine, the smell was still faint, wafting up from under the pit.

It's like you're using bait to lure me over!

"Stop, let them go, get out of here!" Bailichuan suddenly ran over, his eyes cracked, and pounced directly on me, as if I were his enemy.

It was not easy to find this from the room where we came down, and it must not be a coincidence that he had just arrived when he followed.

I dodged his attack, raised my hand and slashed him in the back of the neck, my hand was strong enough to cut him, and he did fall down, but quickly got up again.

"Bailichuan!" I tried to awaken him, and his current state was clearly controlled by hallucinations.

I sincerely admired his foresight and handed over the gun in advance, otherwise he would have just hid in the shadows and given me a shot, and I would have fallen off the platform if I didn't die, and I don't know how deep the ground is, and the ashes may not be able to save me.

"Damn monster, die, damn-" Instead of regaining consciousness, Bailichuan became more and more irritable, his eyes like he couldn't tear me alive, he got up from the ground and threw his fist straight into my face.

I'm glad he didn't use grappling skills or tricks while he was delirious, allowing me to easily dodge his fist-like punches and then use lifesteal on him.

Bailichuan stared, fell to the ground weakly, his chest was like pulling a bellows, and his nostrils were whirring and panting.

I dragged him back to the mine and put him on the wall, and he opened his mouth to bite me, and I quickly withdrew my hand.

"Turn me into a monster, come on, bite me!" Baili Chuan's eyes were resolute, and I suddenly looked away, unable to look directly into his eyes.

Because the sadness in Bailichuan's eyes could not be concealed even by extreme anger, I suddenly realized that his hallucination, his fear, was not exactly an illusion, but a memory.

The point of fear in everyone's heart is different, and what can make people afraid may not be monsters, but may be pain that they don't want to face, such as the loss of a loved one.

When the experiences and images that made him so painful were repeated again, it could indeed be maddening.

So what the two women were afraid of could also be a memory-triggered hallucination.

Just because I didn't get hit doesn't mean I don't have fear, maybe it's because zombies have different physiques from humans.

I walked back to the edge of the pit, and was about to take a closer look at the pillar, when suddenly I felt my ankles tighten, and I instinctively retreated, but from the darkness under my feet, a man was brought out.

The man, who was lying under the platform, suddenly climbed up and grabbed me by the ankle, and I didn't hear anything.

It's really like a ghost, or rather, he's a ghost, a bloodless face, dilated pupils, rag-like clothes hanging on his body, a bone-like figure, if such a shape were a living person, then he would undoubtedly be a miracle.

And just as I wanted to kick him away, Miracle spoke: "Who are you?" Get out of here, it's dangerous here. โ€
