The old man looked so old that he couldn't even walk steadily, so he could only walk on crutches, and under other circumstances, he would have had to lie in bed for the rest of his life, waiting for death.

"It's good that you're okay, Mr. Chekov."

The investigator of Lubyanka Entertainment immediately came to the old man, he was a B-class investigator named Shevchenko, with two other investigators.

"It's still early."

The old man named Chekov sneered, and he quickly noticed Du Ruo.

"Xiao Du, you're finally back."

He had slightly complicated feelings about Du Ruo's arrival, both relieved and regretful.

"Teacher, I'm sorry for your trouble."

Du Ruo said hello slightly apologetically.

Qiao Du ignored the exchange between their master and apprentice reunion, and instead looked at Zhou Mingke.

"Boss, we have a car now, we can drive out directly, we have a rescue."

He felt that Zhou Mingke and the others were trapped here because of those monsters outside, and now that they had a car, they could drive out directly, and it didn't take much effort.

"It's not that simple, you look at the time."

Zhou Mingke motioned for Qiao Duan to look at his phone.

Qiao Du confirmed the time and was surprised to find that he had thought that it had only taken them a maximum of twenty minutes from entering the polluted area to arriving at the village, but now when he looked at it, he found that five hours had passed.

The sky here is always the same, in the twilight, and it is impossible to determine the time.

"Time and space here are randomly distorted, and under normal circumstances, it is only ten minutes away from the power station where [Hell's Gate] is located, but when we tried before, we couldn't reach it after walking for two hours."

On the side, Marianne, a Pantheon tech investigator in a gorgeous dress, explained.

"The monsters you see, we call them living corpses, they are monsters from the other side of the [Hell's Gate], they can't be killed, once you smell the scent of humans, those monsters will come wildly, you should have experienced it."

She looked at the gentleman in a suit who was the only remaining gentleman in Pantheon Technology, and if he hadn't saved his life, he would have been swallowed by the monster along with the jeep.

After all, it was her own subordinate, and Marianne felt very sorry.

"These monsters are very difficult to resist, and if it weren't for the barrier that this Mr. Ramses has laid, we wouldn't have been able to wait here for help."

Zhou Mingke pointed to the tall man who was checking the situation of the surrounding space, he was fair-skinned and had many metal ornaments on his body, and the people from Pyramid Media didn't dare to say anything when they saw this man.

"We need to close [the gates of hell], otherwise the pollution here will definitely spread outside."

Su Hong immediately said through the translator.

"Huh? I thought it was already over, but it looks like these monsters haven't left the area. ”

Marianne asked, looking a little surprised.

Su Hong immediately explained the current situation to the other party through the translation function of her mobile phone.

"It's strange that none of us have created cages around here to bind these monsters, could it be the Chernobyl anomaly?"

The lady looked at the twilight sky, but got no answer.

Just as the group was exchanging information, Qiao Du saw that there was a little girl standing in the shadow of the room, this little girl was dressed plainly, not like an investigator.

Twilight followed.

As soon as I took two steps, I saw the little girl's side, and the crimson text lingered.

[She wants to know where her parents have gone, but who can tell her the real answer, it is too cruel!] 】

"Where's your family?"

Qiao Du crouched down, at eye level with the other party, and asked.

The little girl did not say a word, her freckled cheeks were red and fluttering, and she was very cowardly, like a timid fawn.

"You live here?"

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Qiao Du asked again.

"It's a nice day, hahaha."

He played the weather card, but the other party remained indifferent.

The little girl stared at Qiao Dui, and suddenly, slowly raised her hand and pointed into the distance.

Qiao Du looked back and found that it was the center of the polluted area, which was the direction of the [Gate] of Hell.

"Where are your parents?"

He turned his head to ask, only to find that the little girl was gone.

"What are you doing?"

Behind him, Leng Buding's voice came from Bai Lian, and Qiao Duan stood up.

"There was a little girl here just now, and I asked her for directions."

"There's no little girl here, you were talking to the air just now."

Bai Lian was blunt.

"Oh!"

Qiao Du answered, he looked at the house, it looked like an ordinary house, and came to the door and knocked on the door.

"It's probably been uninhabited for a long time."

Bai Lian followed behind Qiao Duan and said.

"That's right."

Qiao Du embodied a crowbar in his hand, divided five by two, and directly pried open the door lock that had not been maintained for decades, and pushed the door in.

Naturally, there are no little girls in it, and there are no living corpses and monsters.

It's a commonplace small-town house that's been dusty and dusty for decades.

Qiao Du could see that there was still a kettle on the stove, there were plates on the dining table and food that had long since decayed and dissipated, only the residues remained, and there were blankets and pillows on the tattered sofa, everything seemed to have been paused in life, but the pause time was decades.

At the same time, in Qiao Dui's field of vision, red words kept jumping out, reminding Qiao Du that these things were polluted, and although it was nothing big for him, it was still untouchable for ordinary people.

Bai Lian didn't know what Qiao Du was going to do, she was only responsible for being optimistic about Qiao Dui, lest he make some big news.

Suddenly, Bai Lian felt as if something was behind her, she turned her head and saw a little girl standing behind her, holding a doll in her arms.

"It's all your fault."

Bai Lian complained.

"What?"

Joe Twilight turned around, and he saw the little girl too.

"Now I can see it."

Bai Lian took two steps forward, she was only a little taller than the little girl, and instead of squatting down, she stretched out her hand towards the other party.

The girl's hand passed directly through the little girl, and the little girl didn't feel confused, but only stared directly at Bai Lian and Qiao Dui.

Suddenly, she pounced towards Bai Lian.

Bai Lian subconsciously took half a step back, but the little girl went straight through her body, and it felt cold, like a white frost flowing through.

The little girl also passed through Qiao Du and walked into the house, Qiao Du immediately turned around, and the other party disappeared again.

When he came to the bedside, Qiao Du saw a tattered doll between the collapsed bed frame, and he reached out to pick it up, but the moment his fingertips touched the coarse cloth, the doll fell apart like a pile of sand under the wind, and could no longer find its original shape.

"It's amazing."

Qiao Du sighed, walked to the window, and looked at the mountains and forests.

At this time, he saw that between the mountains and forests, there seemed to be a fire shining brightly.
