Chapter 6 The Lost City Chapter 5 Dead Man? Dead Fish?
"Is there any problem with this town?" Xiao Xia asked Wang Wenge tentatively, and then looked around in surprise.
Her words echoed!
And there should be no echo in such a place, and this situation will only occur in completely closed and empty spaces!
Wang Wenge glanced at Xiao Xia, his eyes were faint, with a little despair of giving up everything. After a long time, he said, "This new town is fine. This is the place where our whole town is moving to, how can there be problems? The problem is - people!"
"Who is the person? "Xiao Xia's heart was shaking.
No wonder! She felt that this matter could not have been for no reason. There was indeed a mistake in this world, but they were designed from a distance from the town. This was not as simple as being involved unintentionally. The figure running away in front of the car, all the cars died, the fire was destroyed by ghosts, the city gates that could turn, the dark shadows on rainy nights, and the current besiege, there was nothing without the breath of conspiracy.
Wang Wenge shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer.
"This matter is very important!" Xiao Xia took two steps closer, "I believe you can see this matter very clearly. If we don't solve the hidden problem, we will not be able to get out. Please tell me it? See if it can be solved."
Wang Wenge still didn't say anything, as if what he was going to say was impossible to say.
Xiao Xia knew that what Wang Wenge knew was probably the key to opening the mystery of this empty city, and hurriedly chased and fought hard, "At least please reveal a little about the situation. Are you not worried about your life? Even if you can see life and death, don't you feel wronged?"
"Unfortunate? Haha, that may not be possible. No one can erase the mud on his feet!" Wang Wenge sneered.
"But what about my life? It's impossible for everyone to do something wrong!" Xiao Xia was a little angry.
She has been in doubt and fear, not understanding why she encountered unlucky again! Here she is isolated and helpless, without the protection of Ruan Zhan and Wanli, everything depends on herself. Moreover, judging from this situation, it is obvious that the longer the time is delayed, the less it is easier to escape. Now, I finally found a clue, but this man was hesitant, making her wish to force her confession by force!
"Your life--"
"Yes, my life! I have never been here in my life. What does this have to do with me? And Liu Hong, Zuo De and the others?" Xiao Xia suppressed his injustice and asked calmly, "If you know but refuse to say it, killing innocent people, isn't it wrong? So what if you are not afraid of death? You must know - death is just the beginning."
Xiao Xia unknowingly used Ruan Zhan's words, but unexpectedly this sentence really stimulated Wang Wenge. He looked at Xiao Xia blankly and murmured these six words, just like a damaged video recorder repeatedly playing a certain paragraph.
He said this for several minutes before slowly looking up at Xiaoxia, "I don't want it, but I don't know what's going on, but the matter is forced into a corner!"
“What exactly happened?”
Wang Wenge rolled his throat a few times, as if it was difficult to say it. "Ten ten years ago, at that time, this place - there were still-"
He stammered, but before he could get to the point, a chaotic and cautious footsteps interrupted him.
The sound came from the west of the square, and it sounded like the steps of the ten people trying to escape from the town in the thick fog! But they were walking east, but now they walked back from the west, as if they had walked a circle and returned to their original place.
The leading man was Zuo De, the first to penetrate the thick fog into the square. The scene in front of him did not surprise him too much, because he had long understood that such a result would be, but he was a little disappointed. Liu Hong, who was following him, was stunned and sat on the ground "bang" and started crying loudly.
"I can't get out! I can't get out! I'm going to die here!"
When she shouted, all the people who had not walked out of the thick fog had suddenly entered the square, as if the fog was a white door panel, and the edge of the square was the door frame. As long as you push the door open, you would enter another world.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, but they didn't expect that they would return to their original place! And as soon as Liu Hong cried, his despair quickly spread among these people, and immediately cried in fear and whispers all over the place.
"Why are there only nine people coming back, and there is one more?" Xiao Xia suddenly found that the number of people was wrong and blurted out this sentence.
In an instant, the scene became silent, and everyone looked at each other and found that one person was missing.
"Xiao Tan is not here!" a man shouted in horror, "It has always been him who cut off the back. Lao Zhang, haven't you noticed it?"
When the man named Lao Zhang heard this, his whole horse-faced face turned green, and his lips trembled for a long time before he spoke, "I kept holding his hand and didn't let go until------"
He screamed "ah" and ran quickly towards the artificial lake in the center of the square as if he was burned. Others didn't know what was going on, thinking that a ghost was coming to kill people, so they followed him and ran to the lake before stopping.
"What's wrong, Lao Zhang?" Mao Fu asked.
"I - I remember - I heard Miss Liu crying before letting go of him!" Lao Zhang said gasping.
Originally, it was only a hundred meters from the edge of the square to the lake, but excessive tension and fear consumed his physical strength, making him lose his temper when he spoke, and the same was true for others.
Moreover, his answer made everyone understand one thing. Something was hidden in this fog that could not be melted. It attacked reporter Tan when people were unprepared. If it weren't for Xiao Tan, it would be the other one among them!
Xiaoxia was also very panicked at this moment.
Although she had seen a lot of things, she had never dealt with such a scene. In the past, she was at a loss, and everything was arranged by Ruan Zhan, but now she is the calmest among the group. But despite this, she doesn't have much confidence in her being able to escape, let alone save the lives of this large group of people.
This incident happened too strangely, just like the white fog, it seemed like a layer of glass, which separated the square from the entire town. In other words, these people were fish in the fish tank, waiting for any one to be taken out by others, and "he" was peeping in a place that could not be seen, waiting for the opportunity!
"What should I do?" Zhao Jiayuan asked, his voice trembling, and he didn't ask Mao Fu, nor did he know who he was asking, or just talking to himself.
"Calm down." Zuo De's calm and loud voice came, "There will be changes if we-"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another scream from Liu Hong. Xiao Xia was about to rush forward and slapped the shocked group emotional polluter when he saw everyone looking towards the artificial lake, and opened his mouth wide and looked shocked!
Xiao Xia felt a little "stool" and knew something was wrong again. When she turned around, she saw that there was nothing unusual about the lake and the tower. The difference was the fountain that squirted into the air!
Originally, the water column was white, but now it changed color and turned red, with blood-like red! Subconsciously, Xiao Xia slowly walked to the lakeside--
In the rippling lake water, a red man floated downwards on the water. He should be a man, or a fish-shaped man, because his legs were tied tightly together as if they were bound by invisible things, and his feet were stretched straight, like a pair of flippers; the same was true for both arms, but the elbows were slightly bent outward and were placed like fish fins; the thick hair on his head swayed gently with the rise and fall of the water, giving people a feeling of life, but the skin showed a terrible whiteness as death, as if all the blood was squeezed out!
What's even more terrifying is that his whole body was naked, his back and legs were covered with black handprints of various sizes, and he "longed" like spots!
Xiao Xia covered her mouth and blocked her scream in her throat. She turned her head as if she asked for help, and saw other people standing by the lake with her. Some were far away and some were close, which happened to form a semicircle, but everyone was frightened and pale and could not speak!
What is this? Reporter Tan? He disappeared from the outer edge of the square, how could he run into the lake! And there were so many people present, how did he get into the water? And why did he be made into a squid? What do those handprints on his back mean?
"Many people have caught him!" Zuo De murmured, "The handprints on his back are different. There must be many 'people' who have caught him!"
No one answered him, but a gust of wind suddenly blew from the square.
The wind blew from the ground, and for no reason, it blew from the edge of the square to the lake, swirling and sweeping past everyone's feet. It felt like I was touching everyone's feet and making a mark, which made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts and understood something.
This city will not let anyone go! The next turn may be yourself!
The wind blew onto the lake surface, and the lake water had a small wave. The corpse in the lake also moved with the waves. It was washed to the shore in three or two, and the people standing around screamed and spread out to the surroundings!
Dong--dong--
The lake water made a regular sound of collision, as if the mermaid's body was hitting the door and trying to come out of the water. Every time it was knocked on the heart, allowing the despair of being trapped to spread from the bottom of the heart to the whole body. And with the sound of "scumbling" water, the body actually rushed out of the water and fell to the ground, flapping like a fish I just caught, swaying water droplets around, jumping, struggling, and sliding on the marble ground! In the churn, he turned around and let everyone see his face!
It’s reporter Tan!
His body could still distinguish his limbs from the back, but from the front, he could only see his pale torso. It seemed that his whole body was tightly wrapped in a human leather bag, and it was still covered with black handprints!
However, his face did not change at all, it was still the same as before, and there was no water stain. His eyes were just pitch black and did not reflect any light, but everyone felt that it was looking behind him!
"Debt! Pay off the debt! You must pay back the debt you owe!" He suddenly spoke, and then continued to 'jump'!
Amid the screams, everyone ran around, without thinking or planning, and was only surrounded by the word "escape". They didn't want to be caught by "Reporter Tan"!
A loud laughter came from behind, "Escape! Escape! I will still be back anyway!"
No one dared to look back, but Xiao Xia looked. She saw that the blood column had not descended, but still gushed high into the air. Reporter Tan's body stopped moving, lying in the center of the square like a dead fish, and I don't know who made the laughter!
And the next second, she could not see anything because she had already stepped into the fog.
She forced herself to calm down and not run around. Although she couldn't tell the direction at the moment, she still walked more than twenty steps forward based on her feelings, farther away from the edge of the square, and was wary of the thing that only heard her laughter and was not visible to her, so she had a relative buffering room and gave herself some time to think.
This situation is the worst! They should have thought of a countermeasure before taking action, but the sudden "dead fish" scared everyone, including her and Zuo De, who seemed calm. In just a few seconds, the animal instinct made everyone run to the place they thought was far away from danger, and cut off their connection!
In fact, she knew from the beginning that the square was not a good hiding place, because it felt even more uneasy there, and it felt like it was a circled prey, and everyone might be the target! But it was the only place where everyone could gather, and basic countermeasures should be developed there.
If the square is like a dead corner, and can only be defended passively without escaping, then this unknown fog is more like a trap full of dangers; if dispersion can bring more opportunities for escape, then uniting together will have greater resistance!
Unifying all forces will not only make people feel safer psychologically, but can also cooperate with each other and have greater hope of survival. However, at present, the foggy Cao Ren obviously took advantage of the first death, which successfully caused their panic, chaos and dispersion, and everyone had to rely on their own strength!
In the white mist, Xiao Xia only saw only one meter outside her body. She took out her mobile phone to look at it. There was still no signal, and it was still 23:17. She felt that it was not because there was a problem with the phone, but in this strange empty city, time and space were different from everything people are used to, or time had paused, because dead things do not require time to be calculated!
She gritted her teeth and reminded herself to be brave. She and Ruan Zhan, how could Wanli be so useless after experiencing so many things! Even if she couldn't escape in the end, she couldn't surrender so easily!
She hesitated for a moment, then returned to her body according to the direction she had calculated in advance. She wanted to go back to the square to take a look!
One step - two steps - three steps -
She tried to slow down as much as possible, but she still heard loud noises, as if she was walking on a drum, and the sound was doubled. This made her sweat so nervous that she was sweating, but she still held on and walked step by step until she counted more than thirty steps. She realized that she was still in the fog and didn't even see the shadow of the square.
Chapter completed!
