Chapter 33 Blood Footprints
The remaining supplies were also very few. We only had a large piece of spicy beef jerky hidden in our pocket and a dozen compressed biscuits, which was barely enough for us to eat a meal. We only had weapons left.
I was carrying a pistol and a paratrooper knife. The explosion just now took away almost all our equipment.
We have fallen into a dead silence. This situation is actually a death sentence for us, but this death penalty is chronic.
"Let's move quickly! We won't find anything to eat even if we stay here. Maybe with luck, we can find some supplies on the road ahead." I said with a frown.
Now that the way back has been blocked, even if we want to retreat, there is no way to retreat. At this time, we can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.
"Um."
Chen Tuozi nodded and agreed with my proposal.
We ate something casually and drank some water before setting off. In order to save battery, Wang Yuanchao adjusted the brightness of the flashlight to the lowest level. The dim light only allowed us to clearly see things a few meters ahead.
I opened my eyes wide and searched carefully. After all, we have no escape route now. The more information we know about this tomb, the higher the probability of escape, although I am already close to despair.
The environment here is very dilapidated and desolate. Even the green bricks that were previously laid in the tomb passage are no longer under the feet, but sand and gravel are mixed together. Stones are piled randomly all over the ground, and there are many potholes on the ground.
There were traces of it, as if someone had often lived here. I suddenly had the illusion that this kind of situation should not appear in a thousand-year-old tomb!
"Yuan Chao, give me your flashlight."
Wang Yuanchao was not familiar with the things in the ancient tomb, so I took the flashlight and Chen Tuozi and I started rummaging through the dilapidated tomb.
"This isn't an abandoned tomb, right? There are rubbish piled everywhere."
The fat man originally wanted to see if there were any clues, but the flashlight was too dim and made him dizzy, so he finally just lay down on the ground to rest.
"Impossible, so many traps have been set up for an abandoned tomb. Isn't this just because you're full?"
I shook my head. If we had successfully walked through Chencang Road, maybe I would still think like this.
However, that Chencang Road is definitely going to kill people. If it is caught off guard, even a fighting team of hundreds of people will be wiped out. If you say there is nothing hidden here, I don't believe it.
"Here is a stone slab. Let me turn it over and take a look."
Chen Tuozi leaned down and turned over a moss-covered stone slab.
I shined a flashlight on it, and there was nothing but moss on it.
Chen Tuozi scratched the moss with some persistence, and I shook my head, thinking that I couldn't find anything on this stone slab.
"I'll go over there and have a look."
I walked to the edge of the tomb with a flashlight. The environment here was very weird. There were thin rocks everywhere, which looked like bamboo shoots at first glance.
There seemed to be stains of blood on the rock. Just when I raised the flashlight and wanted to investigate carefully, I suddenly heard whispers coming from the darkness in front of me. Suddenly, the sweat on my back
The hairs stand on end.
I was almost certain that the sound was two people having a very quiet conversation, but I couldn't hear exactly what was being said.
When I shined the flashlight there, I found that there was nothing behind the rock.
I was really chilling all over now. I could hear the voice clearly just now. It was clearly someone talking. Could it be that I was so nervous along the way that I even had auditory hallucinations?
"I said damn Li Dingdang, what are you doing over there, have you noticed?" the fat man shouted from behind me.
"Wait, don't rush yet."
I ignored the fat man. The more I thought about what just happened, the more creepy I felt. I am very curious. If I don't figure it out, I won't be able to sleep tonight.
I kept my body low, crawled over the rock, and came to the place where the sound came from just now.
Just when I was about to stand up, I suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground. The ground seemed to be very slippery, as if it had been coated with wax.
At this moment, I didn't care about saving power, and quickly adjusted the flashlight to the brightest. While taking a breath of cold air, I finally understood the reason why I slipped just now.
There was a large puddle of blood on the ground that had long since coagulated. My hands were now as red as cinnabar because they were pressed on it, and I could smell a faint smell of blood.
I looked at the thick layer of blood on the ground and suddenly saw something that made me feel like I had fallen into an ice cave.
Those are two pairs of tiny footprints!
The footprints were in the blood, as if two children had walked through here.
Thinking of the whispers I heard just now, I just felt a chill creeping up from my spine.
Has anyone been living here?
Suddenly, the flashlight light flashed several times in succession and suddenly dimmed.
There was not much power left in the battery, so if I adjusted the frequency to the brightest, the flashlight wouldn't last for a few minutes.
I was so frightened that I quickly squatted down and shook the flashlight vigorously. If the flashlight ran out of power at this moment, wouldn't it mean to scare me to death?
However, after the flashlight flickered for a few times, it still went out. No matter how hard I shook it, I couldn't turn it on.
And I don’t know what’s going on right now. Fatty and the others didn’t call me, and the whole tomb was as quiet as death.
I suddenly felt terrified. I didn't know why, but I felt like I was being watched.
In fact, when people are in the dark, their sensory abilities become stronger. This is what the scientific community often calls: a supernatural sixth sense!
There was an experiment done on a TV show before. A cat and a mouse were placed in two sealed glass jars respectively, and then a baffle was inserted in the middle to ensure that the cat's voice and smell would not be transmitted to the other.
In a tank. But the mouse's body was curled up into a ball, as if it could feel the cat behind the baffle.
My hands were shaking like sieves at this moment, and the feeling of being watched became more and more intense.
I poked at the flashlight switch hard, but I shivered and dropped the flashlight to the ground.
Eeeah, Eeeah, Eeeah, Eeeah...
Suddenly, a small sound came from my left ear. The sound was like the sound a baby makes when it can't speak!
My whole body suddenly trembled, and I subconsciously wanted to dodge to the right, but accidentally stepped on the flashlight.
Snapped!
