Chapter 125: Marching to the Lighthouse

"Young man, what if there's a monster gathering place over the lighthouse?"

"It's not that my wife is too talkative, and it's not that my wife has self-doubting your purpose, it's just that we still have to be stable when we have the advantage we have now."

Anyway, the old grandmother is still very friendly, and Xie Chen naturally won't treat her like she treats the flat table.

"I know Grandma."

Xie Chen sighed.

That's why I hate being a leader so much.

It is the easiest to go alone, and all you need is to protect your own life.

Now I have to not only consider everyone's feelings, but even explain my thoughts to them.

Not only is this a waste of time and a reduction in operational efficiency, but it also brings you unnecessary responsibilities.

If you do a good job, no one will praise you, and once you make a mistake in judgment, then all the pots and disasters will have to fall to your side.

"Why do those monsters appear so little during the day, but so many at night?"

Xie Chen deliberately asked such a question.

Achen stretched and said in a calm tone.

"What else do you need to say?"

"Of course, I'm afraid of light, so I'm only suitable for acting at night."

Xie Chen nodded, and everyone did not question this explanation.

"Then I'll ask again."

"When will the lighthouse lamp be useful?"

As soon as he said this, the group of people in front of him, including his parents, all had a look of sudden realization on their faces.

"The lights of the lighthouse are used to limit and encircle the range of those monsters."

"Otherwise, with the number of those monsters, it is estimated that they would have run everywhere a long time ago, and who would be spared?"

"As for those monsters who pretend to be adults, as long as they see the light, it is actually equivalent to chronic suicide, even if they don't harm people, they will slowly die in a day."

"That's why I still say that, if you want to go to the lighthouse, you can go with me, if you don't want me, you can follow the route you want."

Xie Chen explained so clearly, in this oppressive environment, no one dared to confidently say that he would act alone.

Those who acted alone, except for the dust in front of them, none of them had a good end.

"Then it's all up to you, our old bones, it's like blindly jumping into those monsters, it's just a meal."

The old man clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Xie Chen's eyes very optimistically.

Wood also shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care about any of this, I'll just follow." ”

"Of course I'll follow you if you have a gun, and I still have so many cans of detergent wrapped around my body, I don't even have one on hand."

"Isn't it for nothing for those monsters to let me and my girlfriend go alone?"

Achen shook his head and said angrily.

Xie Chen also smiled, took out a few cans of detergent and handed them to the girl, even the old couple who had lost the detergent earlier.

I was also a person and handed over a new can.

Xie Chen glanced at the flat table in the corner, and took another can and threw it to him.

I used to have a dozen cans left on my body, and now I have less than six or seven cans left.

"Go by yourself or follow, it's up to you."

After watching all these people get on the elevator, Xie Chen followed along, and when the elevator door closed, he took off the pistol pinned to his waist with one hand and handed it to Ah Chen, who was standing next to him.

"Oh, take it."

Ah Chen was a little stunned, and looked at Xie Chen incredulously.

"Are you sure you give me a handful of this thing?"

Xie Chen smiled.

"Don't ink, take it quickly, or I'll regret it later, and you'll only have detergent to use."

Achen hurriedly took it with a hippie smile.

"If you want it, of course I want this thing, I'm not a fool, how can the detergent be as good as this thing?"

Xie Chen was also speechless.

While the elevator was slowly descending, Achen hurriedly learned to pin the automatic pistol himself.

But at the same time, he leaned his head over.

"Eh, brother."

"Actually, you can also bring me a can of detergent, and I'm used to it."

Xie Chen didn't think about taking care of him, but he still took out a can of detergent and handed it to Ah Chen.

"Save some use, I don't have much left on this thing, and don't look at such a big can, in fact, there is not much capacity in it."

Achen nodded.

I don't know why, the elevator camera has dimmed and is no longer lit like before, what is on the fifth floor of the hotel.

Xie Chen himself is not easy to say.

Only whether the so-called monitoring is staring behind anyone's back is estimated to become an unsolved mystery in the future.

The elevator quickly descended to the first floor, but it was a little different from what it had been before.

The first floor of the inn was very dilapidated, and there was a lot of dust on the floor, so thick that even a person walking on it could leave shoe prints.

"How is this a little different from before?"

The mother looked around worriedly, and her voice involuntarily whispered.

Obviously, I am still very uncomfortable with the changes around me.

The father stood by the mother's side, also vigilant around him, and at the same time teased his sister and attracted the little girl's attention.

Achen looked at the ceiling, where a lot of spider silk was written, and several huge spiders were lying in the corner.

Xie Chen was finally sure that the group had begun to hallucinate after entering the commissary.

It wasn't when I entered this hotel, and I didn't get caught in the elevator.

Fortunately, that's all there is to it now, and nothing too outrageous has happened.

If he had been attacked in the hallucination situation before, it is estimated that it would be difficult for his group to survive.

"By the way, do you know how to get to the lighthouse?"

Xie Chen nodded.

"But you'll have to walk through a wood, so be careful anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone had already arrived at the door.

The sky outside was already a little dark, and after half past five, it was estimated that it would really get dark, and then it would be the turn of those monsters to appear.

Xie Chen stood at the door and looked up at the hotel, and sure enough, the entire building was very dilapidated, and even the top floor was much more rotten, giving people a feeling that it would collapse at any time.

"Looks like we've all been fooled, and those cameras aren't working properly in the first place."

Achen walked over and patted Xie Chen's shoulder, and said with some emotion.

"Don't worry about it for now."

Xie Chen shook his head, checked the direction around him, and then stretched out his hand to point to the wooded path not far away.

"Let's go over there first, and we'll wait until we're past the woods."

Achen frowned as he looked in that direction.

"Why do I think it's a little close to the fishing village?"

Xie Chen exhaled.

"It's a lot closer, so we'll have to see how useful these two guns can be later."

The corners of Achen's mouth twitched.

"According to what you say, it seems that this lighthouse trip is really abstract."

Seeing the original appearance of the hotel, the group also understood in their hearts that this situation was basically imminent now.

"If you can't leave this beach tonight, it's probably going to be hard to leave later."

Achen and Wood were at the head of the group, groping their way along the trail.

Xie Chen, pointing to the road from the side of the team, was also on guard against the monsters that might pop up out of nowhere.

"You all be careful, many monsters may not be disguised as humans, some are very large, and their strength is not comparable to that of humans."

"If something suddenly happens later, you must do everything you can to avoid it, and don't stand still."

As he walked, Xie Chen reminded everyone.

After walking for nearly ten or twenty minutes, the pace of the crowd began to become very light.

After all, in this wood, the view is obscured by trees, and it is difficult for the group to judge whether it is close to the fishing village.

Xie Chen stood in place and gestured, and after almost redefining the direction, the group slowly groped forward.

But this time they only walked out not far away, and everyone immediately held their breath and stared, lying on the spot and not daring to make any sound.

Fortunately, there are half-human-high grass all around, and you can completely cover your figure by squatting down.

Achen was the first to notice the movement, and immediately reminded the people behind him to squat down.

Of course, gestures are used.

"What's going on?"

Xie Chen, who was on the side of the team, hurriedly ran forward, leaned on Achen's left side, and asked in a low voice.

Ah Chen hurriedly blocked his lips with his index finger, signaled Xie Chen not to speak, and then pointed to the side of the front again.

Xie Chen cast his gaze, but did not find anything strange.

The front is still verdant, and the tall grass and trees are one after another, and there is nothing strange in sight.

Xie Chen turned his head and just wanted to ask Ah Chen if he was dazzled, but the sound of hurried footsteps came from there.

It's not particularly clear, but it's probably because of the distance, and the trees and grass block out most of the sound.

Xie Chen hurriedly held his breath.

Listening to these footsteps, it's not just one or two.

If you swing your fingers in time, you can't even count your two hands.

Ah Chen gestured sideways with his two hands, and explained to Xie Chen that there must be at least a dozen people over there.

Xie Chen nodded slightly, and hurriedly approached Wood, asking him to go over and tell everyone to squat down and not make any noise, and always pay attention to the movement of the grass around them.

Xie Chen put his palms together again and motioned to Wood, if there was danger later, remember that everyone ran in the same direction and did not scatter.

Wood nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly walked over to the cat behind him, explaining the current situation to everyone.

Xie Chen came back to his senses, calmed down and listened with his ears.

In fact, there was not only the sound of footsteps, but even the sound of dragging, but unfortunately it was blocked by the grass and trees, and now I can't see it clearly from here.

"Do you think it's a monster or a human?"

Xie Chen didn't care so much, and asked Ah Chen next to him in the smallest voice.

Hearing Xie Chen speak first, Achen also shook his head.

"It's hard to say."

"If I had to tell it myself, I still think it's more likely to be a monster."

"How can there be so many people at this time."

After hearing the footsteps stop, the two immediately closed their mouths again, not daring to continue speaking.

Even the sound of breathing stopped.

It wasn't until four or five seconds later, when the voice appeared noisy again, that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Achen hurriedly gestured.

"Shall we go over and have a look now?"

"If it's a human being, you can communicate tentatively."

"If it's a monster, you can see what they're doing?"

Xie Chen couldn't make a decision in his heart, if it was just the two of them now, plus the detergent and two guns in his hand, he naturally didn't care.

But there are so many teammates behind him who only have detergent.

If the number of these monsters is too large and they all rush over, it is difficult to guarantee that they will all be killed when the group of monsters approaches with only two automatic pistols and one magazine of bullets.

Achen saw Xie Chen's embarrassed expression, and knew what she was thinking.

Then he made two more strokes.

"I know you're embarrassed, but now you have to go over and take a look."

"It doesn't matter if it's human."

"But if it's a monster, there's still a buffer zone from us, so we can solve a few more."

Xie Chen nodded.

Judging from the trend of the sound, it is very likely to be close to its own side.

If it's a monster, it's even harder to deal with.

"Let's go."

Xie Chen waved his hand lightly, and Achen also nodded quickly.

After making up his mind, Achen turned to his father and Wood behind him, gesturing to the two of them to stand guard and protect the old and young around them.

Xie Chen gently took out the automatic pistol pinned to his waist, and then broke it with his hand to load the bullet.

Achen also followed suit, but his movements were extremely skillful.

The two of them groped their way to the front, and after crossing the grass at the front, they came closer to the front.

Xie Chen listened to the voice that became clearer and clearer, and his breathing quickly relaxed.

Ah Chen changed his hand to remove the grass in front of him, and Xie Chen followed to look up, only to find that the spire of the lighthouse could already be seen in front of him.

Xie Chen hurriedly shook his head to calm himself down for the time being.

Take a closer look.

In front of me was a clearing shaded by trees, and it looked very spacious.

When I looked up, I saw three or four people, with their backs to them, all lying on the ground, with ropes tied to their feet and hands, whimpering and unable to make a sound.

"It's ...... Caught? ”

Xie Chen suddenly had such an idea in his heart, but he continued to watch with Achen, and did not rush to take action.
