Chapter 4 Panic, the dark shadow in the dark
"This ...... What is this thing's hair?! Du Hong exclaimed, his voice trembling a little.
Xu Xian twisted the gray-white hair in his hand, it felt a little hard, and it was not clear what creature left it.
"I'll see."
Chen Nan took the hair from Xu Xian's hand, first twisted it, and then leaned it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
After two seconds of silence, he frowned and said, "It's like a mountain wolf's hair, but it's a little harder than a mountain wolf's hair, and it tastes a little weird." ”
"Mountain wolves? It shouldn't be able to drag people away silently, right? Du Hong opened his mouth and said, he believed in Chen Nan's professionalism, but what kind of mountain wolf could kidnap a woman without him and Liu Dong noticing?
Chen Nan glanced at the hole in the barbed wire, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what it is, the three missing people are most likely to be more than lucky, and they have to remind others to pay attention." ”
"Someone, help! Dead! ”
As soon as he finished saying this, there was another commotion in the direction of the manor's main house.
"Oh no, go check it out!"
Chen Nan and Xu Xian glanced at each other and quickly ran towards the main house.
Xu Xianxing wanted to plug the hole in the barbed wire, but since the existence in the dark could make this hole, it would definitely be able to make a second one, so after thinking about it, he forgot it.
By the time they ran back to the main house, the crowd in the hall had gathered around the door again.
Xu Xian squeezed into the crowd, and after seeing the scene in the middle, he suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
I saw two people lying on the ground, covered in blood, and after a closer look, I found that there was bubbling blood flowing out of the neck of one of the people who had lost movement, and the other person was covering his thighs and moaning, and I could clearly see the deep and bony wound on his leg, and the flesh and blood turned out made people shudder.
The manor's doctor was scrambling into the crowd, rummaging through the medicine box for useful equipment.
There was another person next to them who was covered in blood, but it didn't seem to be injured, and it should have been caused by dragging the injured two back to the main house.
"What's going on?!"
The crowd was in a loud commotion, and Chen Nan raised his voice and asked the bloodstained man.
This person is a player participating in the survival puzzle game, and his expression is full of horror at this time: "Let's go and find it together...... Looking for someone, there are ...... There was a dark shadow, very fast, and after a few scurries back and forth, the two of them were injured. ”
Hearing this, Xu Xian stepped forward and asked, "Then have you seen the specific appearance of the black shadow?" ”
The player quickly shook his head: "That thing is too fast for a searchlight to shine on, but that black shadow should be a small animal." ”
Isn't it small?
Xu Xian looked at Chen Nan, if according to Chen Nan's guess, the mountain wolf should not belong to the category of not being small in size, could it be that the existence in the dark is another large animal?
Chen Nan obviously thought of this as well, so he stared at the wounds of the two people on the ground for a while, but he didn't see anything.
At this moment, the doctor with bloodied hands stood up, turned his head to the director of the program team and said in embarrassment: "No, the injury is too serious, I must contact the hospital to send an ambulance, and another ......"
As he spoke, his gaze looked at the man in the neck who still hadn't stopped bleeding.
Although the doctor didn't say anything to death, everyone including Xu now knew that the person probably wouldn't survive.
The director hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and when he saw that there was still no signal, he frowned and said: "If you guessed correctly, the engineer who went to repair the signal tower also had an accident, but if you want to save people, you must restore communication with the outside world." ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding voices suddenly became much quieter.
Everyone knows that in this deserted mountain, if you want to quickly restore communication with the outside world, the best way is to repair the signal tower.
But in this situation, few people dare to leave the manor, not even the brightly lit manor hall.
"Captain Chen......" The director turned his head to look at Chen Nan, and in an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Nan.
Chen Nan's face froze, and then he stiffened his head and said, "If it's really a damage to the signal tower, no one here will repair it, right?" ”
"Yes, Xiao Zhao will repair!" The director turned around and immediately pulled a young man huddled in the crowd to the front.
Chen Nan: "......"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Xiao Zhao shrunk his neck and whispered, "But the toolbox was taken away by the engineer, and I don't have any tools." ”
"Yes, there's another set in the utility room!" One of the logistics staff raised his hand, looking particularly positive.
Xiao Zhao: "......"
Seeing that everyone was stunned, the director hurriedly said to the logistics staff: "Why are you still stunned, go get tools for Xiao Zhao, let Captain Chen lead someone to escort Xiao Zhao to repair the signal tower, the wounded here are still waiting to be rescued!" ”
"Okay, I'll go!"
After speaking, the logistics staff ran into the hall with a smoke.
Glancing at the two people covered in blood on the ground, Chen Nan sighed in his heart, and then said to the other five security personnel: "Brothers, let's go find a guy who can take advantage of it, and escort Xiao Zhao to the signal tower later." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xu Xian: "Brother Xu Xian, you ......"
Xu Xian interrupted him in time: "I'll go with me too." ”
Chen Nan was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Xian to be so bold, and he would like to stay in the manor if he said it, but since Xu Xian had made a statement, many people were safer, so he didn't say anything more.
It didn't take long for the logistician to bring a toolbox, along with three daggers and two kitchen knives, which were all the 'weapons' that could be found in the manor's mansion.
Originally, there were more 'weapons' in the tool room, but the tool room was at the back of the manor, close to the hole in the garden, and no one dared to venture past it.
Chen Nan took one dagger himself, and the other two were given to Du Hong and Liu Dong, while the two kitchen knives were assigned to the other members of the security team, only Xu Xian and one security officer did not get weapons.
"Brother Xu Xian, this is for you." The security team was equipped with electric batons except for Xu Xian, and after having a dagger, Chen Nan gave Xu Xian the electric baton on his waist.
Xu Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Nan, why don't you give me a dagger?" ”
Chen Nan thought that he was worried about his own safety, so he said: "You are of little use with a dagger, when you stand among us, if nothing happens, it should be fine, and it is enough to have an electric baton to protect yourself." ”
Although Xu Xian was confident that his physical fitness was not inferior to anyone in the security team, he couldn't say this to Chen Nan, in the eyes of the other party, he was just a newly graduated intern.
After weighing the electric baton in his hand, he had no choice but to give up.
The night became darker and darker, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Xian and his group of eight walked towards the gate of the manor, and Xiao Zhao, who was carrying the toolbox, tried to drill into the middle, his face was full of bitterness.
'Smack'
The gate of the manor was opened, and Chen Nan raised the searchlight, carefully illuminating the night ahead.
It was extremely quiet, except for the breathing of eight people, there was no movement. Afraid that they would not be able to catch the movement in the darkness in time, their breathing even deliberately slowed down.
No anomalies were found outside the gate of the manor, and Chen Nan shone the light of the searchlight to the right, but unfortunately the distance of the light was limited, and it could not reach the signal tower five hundred meters away.
Tightening the dagger in his hand, Chen Nan lowered his voice and said, "Everyone get closer, and alert others as soon as they find out about the situation." ”
"Its ...... Actually, my level is not good......"
Halfway down the road, Xiao Zhao craned his neck and looked around, while saying to Xu Xian, who was also surrounded by members of the security team.
Xu Xian knew that he was cowardly, but no one could repair the signal tower except him, so he persuaded: "Be confident, you can do it." ”
Xiao Zhao Xin said, can't you hear that I want to go back? It's so dark and so depressing, I want to go back!
His eyes were rolling, but he had to keep his eyes fixed on the area where the searchlight shone.
When the searchlight in his hand swept from the front right, Xiao Zhao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Black shadow, there's something there!" ”
