Chapter IV: Exploration

Zila-

Small voices are insignificant in the darkness of the night.

The mess on the table was still there, and the air was filled with the smell of leftovers, mixed with an unknown smell, which looked very strange and unpleasant.

It was dark all around, and the silence was terrible, and no one seemed to have come.

Tian Li frowned, thinking about getting closer to observe, but she didn't forget the vigilance around her.

She held her breath, lowered her body, and slowly moved towards the table.

Just as she leaned half of her body into the back of the door, in the afterglow, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow next to the door on the right, and before she had time to think about it, she immediately squatted down by bowing up.

As soon as the black shadow moved, he subconsciously wanted to catch it.

Tian Li didn't know where the speed of the reaction came from, and before her brain could think about it, her hand passed first.

The baseball bat she clenched struck directly at the shadow's calf. Who knew that the other party stepped back, and at the same time, his calf exerted force, and kicked the baseball bat in Tian Li's hand with one kick.

Tian Li quickly turned around and rushed to the staircase.

"Comeβ€”"

A pair of hands in the darkness took the first step, covering the words she was about to shout.

Hmm-

Feeling Tian Li's struggle, the other party held his hand tightly again.

Now she couldn't even make a sound.

Tian Li was tightly held in the arms of the man; But during the struggle, it was not difficult to feel the softness of her back, and the person behind her was a woman.

The short-haired woman with over-ear ears in the second group appears in the mind. Tian Li tried to turn her head and try her best to see the general appearance of the man.

"Don't move."

The other party lowered his voice and threatened Tian Li's ear.

Although she was suppressed by her voice, she could still hear a little bit of the soft voice that belonged to a woman.

Tian Li no longer struggled, but pointed to the hand that covered her mouth, and made a gesture of waving her hand, indicating that she would not shout.

The people behind him were suspicious, Tian Li didn't move again, and the two of them kept stiff. After a long time, the strength of the other party's hand was slowly relaxed.

Whew-

When the other party completely let go, Tian Li took two deep breaths, and was just about to speak, but the other party directly made a "shhh

Tian Li was subconsciously silenced.

The two of them froze left and right, and neither of them made any more movements.

After about a few minutes, Tian Li heard the other party ask her in a low voice, "Do you also think something is wrong here?"

Tian Li nodded vigorously, she looked at the other party seriously, and there seemed to be eagerness in her eyes.

The other party seemed a little helpless and said, "You speak."

Tian Li whispered, "Are you sure that the restaurant tables were empty when you came here?"

The other party hummed softly.

"I'm sure."

"If there's anyone else here besides us, I think they're probably here..."

Tian Li pointed to her feet.

Since there is a basement floor, will there be a second basement floor?

The other party listened to Tian Li's words and immediately walked to the table, while Tian Li followed her.

Tian Li stopped at the most door-to-door position, and the other party went to the other side directly opposite her.

Both of them squatted down at the same time.

This dining table is modeled after a Western-style dining table, with a long tablecloth on the floor and a tight lid under the table.

Tian Li took a deep breath. She mustered her courage and gently lifted the tablecloth on the ground with the baseball bat in her hand.

The basement was so dark that there were no windows, and the bottom of the table was even darker. Tian Li does not have night blindness, but in this situation where she can't see her five fingers, even if she puts her face on the ground, she can't see anything clearly.

She tried to fumble with her hand for the tiles on the ground, and the cold touch couldn't help but make her winkle; But after touching the brick joints for a long time, I still didn't find any unusual touch.

"Did you find anything?" After a long time, the other party's voice came.

"No, I can't see anything, I can't touch anything."

Tian Li moved her legs, which were squatting a little numb, and said, "Could it be, I guessed wrong."

The other party was silent for a moment.

"Forget it, let's look again, maybe there are clues on the surrounding walls."

The other party's voice just fell. The next moment, the dining table, which was originally full of messes, suddenly made a sizzling noise.

In this pitch-black environment, even if Tian Li couldn't see anything, she could feel that something on the table seemed to be moving up and down.

The sound of items moving in her ears became louder and louder, and Tian Li's heart moved.

Is it a passage to the underground?

She stepped forward, took the baseball bat in her hand, and slammed it straight towards the source of the sound.

The sound of the machine suddenly stopped, and Tian Li was overjoyed, but within a few seconds, the sound began to work again.

Tian Li said loudly: "Quick! Find something else. ”

When the other party heard this, he hurriedly moved one of the chairs. also stuck next to Tian Li along the sound source.

"Bump!"

The baseball bat in his hand was broken by the opening and closing of the machine, and the huge momentum increased the inertia.

Tian Li was stuck and stumbled, and the remaining half of the baseball club also fell off.

"Quick, where's the light!"

She had to see where the table leads.

But the other party told her.

"The light is broken."

The movement of the two of them just now had already woken up the people upstairs. At this time, I could hear the sound of someone talking upstairs and the sound of footsteps coming down.

Tian Li froze in place, the baseball bat in her hand was much lighter, and it should have been broken. She was numb from the shock, and she didn't recover for a long time.

"Are you alright?" She heard the other person ask.

The lights in the basement restaurant are "coincidentally" broken, so it seems that we will have to check the situation here again tomorrow morning.

Tian Li took two deep breaths, thinking about going home first, she was just about to turn her head and say to the other party, when suddenly, a woman's scream suddenly came from upstairs.

Both of them were startled and hurriedly ran upstairs.

When I got to the third floor, it turned out to be a false alarm, because it was too dark and someone stepped on the air.

I finally managed to stay up until dawn. On the second day, the two told the others the news of the underground restaurant last night, and everyone came to the underground restaurant to investigate.

New meals were on the table, and the destroyed chairs were new. But even if I looked at the whole table, I still didn't find anything.

Except for the broken baseball bat left in Tian Li's hand, it was as if everything that night had disappeared and never happened.

This underground restaurant is too weird, but there is no way to start, and everyone has put it on hold for the time being.

However, after this incident, Tian Li also recognized the person who came to the underground restaurant with her that night to investigate.

The other party's name is Zhang Xincheng, a retired female soldier.
