Chapter 251: Breakout
The woman's voice was getting closer, as if from the outer circle into the inner circle, and sometimes when they used the bright flashlight to shake around, they could still shine a fleeting shadow, and they wanted to use the flashlight to follow the shadow but couldn't, the movement was too fast and the trees were too dense.
Ron and John glanced at each other, and now they had two plans, one was to stay in place until dawn, and the other was to break out.
There was no danger to rely on nearby, and they were almost waiting for death to hold on, and it was still early before dawn, so they chose to break through.
The enemy is too fast, and there is only one possibility to break through, which is to disperse and break through, and the two of them run in different directions, expecting one of them to escape.
Such a decision is cold, but in accordance with the law of the jungle that they are familiar with, the jungle does not show mercy to the weak.
Ron chose to run in the direction of the village, and John chose to run in the direction of their origins, perhaps because the former was single, while the latter had a family, and the two parted ways almost 180 degrees.
After Ron ran away, he heard a sad laugh and chased after him.
He did not feel the joy of the rest of his life, for he had guessed that the enemy would come after him whether or not he had killed his companions, so he did not run around, but calculated the speed and distance, and found a bear den in the trunk of a tree, from which they had killed a brown bear that had not hibernated.
Ron hid in the bear's den, covered the hole with twigs and grass, turned off the flashlight, and covered Gavin's mouth.
As soon as he had done this, he saw a shadow pass by.
It was too dark and the shadows were too fast, and he could only be sure that it was a young woman, her lips covered in bright red blood.
He hid in the bear's den and did not dare to come out, and it was not until dawn that he left the bear's den tremblingly.
It was unlikely that he would go back, the woman must have been looking for him in the woods, and if he wanted to live, he had to do the opposite and risk fleeing in the direction of the village.
After entering the village, he saw that the villagers were on the verge of collapse, it turned out that more than a dozen people in the village had disappeared during this time, all of them had been dragged from their homes at night, and it would not take a few days for the whole village to be left alive.
The villagers also wanted to risk breaking out to ask for help, but they all went into the sea like mud cows, never came back, and did not wait for rescue, if Ron was one step late, the villagers might have to risk breaking through.
If the villagers were all young and middle-aged, and they chose Ron's way to disperse and break out, maybe they could really run out, but there were few young and middle-aged villagers, and many of them ran out for help and never came back, and the remaining villagers were mainly old and young, women and children, even if they wanted to break through, they would only concentrate on breaking through.
Another even more disadvantageous factor is that if they want to break out of this village, they can only run in the direction of the neighboring city, and the remaining three directions will only go into the deeper wilderness of the forest, which makes it even more difficult for the villagers to choose to disperse and break through.
Ron urged the villagers to stay on the lookout, and whether his companions succeeded in breaking through or not, and the police would definitely send someone to look for them when they saw that the hunting party was gone, and that the road would be cleared as long as they could hold out for a few days.
But the question is, where can you hold on?
The eldest old man in the village said that there used to be a civil air defense fortification in the village, and I didn't know if it could be used, so everyone followed the old man to the school, removed a large pile of debris blocking the road in the sports warehouse, and found this secret door.
Fortunately, the civil air defense fortifications can still be used, so everyone brought all the convenience food they could bring and collectively hid in the civil air defense fortifications.
Some children still want to hide with their pets, but Ron takes the lead in keeping Gavin, who has been with him for many years, considering the pressure of the air circulation system, because after all, human life is the most precious thing at this time.
They had been hiding in the fortifications, and on a few occasions they heard the sound of scratching the secret door, but fortunately the secret door was thick and strong enough for the monster to break in.
Life in the civil air defense fortifications was hopeless, there was no day or night, and the slightest movement outside made them both expectant and frightened, they expected someone to come to their rescue, but they were afraid that it was not reinforcements but monsters outside the door.
They finished eating the food they had brought, and dug out the cans that had been stored in the civil air defense fortifications for an unknown number of years, and in the end, whether it was air, water, or food, they had reached their limits.
Ron kept cheering everyone on at first, but then he himself doubted life, why didn't help come?
If no one comes to save them, they can only drag their weakened bodies to try to break through.
Catherine frowned as she listened to Ron's account, feeling that there was very little use in it, but at least she was fairly sure that it was a transcendent, a demon, who had caused the killing.
She walked back to the secret door, looked at it, and said, "Well, this claw mark...... Is it a demon who likes to grow long nails?"
They hadn't paid attention just now, only then did they see shallow scratches on the steel-cast secret door, like sharp fingernails.
"If it's just this grade, it's really overestimating her......" Catherine smiled disdainfully, because if she is an extraordinary person who is good at attacking with her claws, she can only cause this level of damage to the steel door, which is estimated to be the level of Lv.2 and Lv.3, and one of the five nuns can deal with it at random.
Ron also leaned over to take a look when he heard this, and he only glanced at it, and then said in surprise, "This ...... This is left behind by the devil?"
"Didn't you say someone was scratching the secret door outside?" asked Catherine rhetorically.
"I thought it was...... But ......," Ron said confusedly, "but...... This claw mark...... If I'm not mistaken, this must have been left by a brown bear......"
"What?brown bear?" said Catherine.
Ron placed his hand on the door, trying to spread his fingers apart, comparing the spacing of the claw marks, "You see, my hand has to be so wide open to cause this kind of spacing of claw marks, unless that monster's hand is as big as the palm of a brown bear, I think it's left by a brown bear." ”
The nuns could clearly see that Ron, as an adult man, had spread his fingers wide to the limit, still not as far as the spacing between the five claw marks.
Catherine felt embarrassed and said angrily, "You didn't mean ......"
"I know, but we didn't dare open the door to verify that situation, maybe we misunderstood......" Ron admitted his mistake.
As long as the door is closed, most of the sound can be cut off, and the villagers do not hear the nuns shouting for them to open the door outside, unless it is a claw scratching the door or a sword slashing the door, and the sound is transmitted through steel as a medium.
What does it mean that it's a brown bear scratching the door outside? Could it be the brown bear she killed just now, rummaging through the garbage can?
