What appeared in front of everyone's eyes were five dark cells, which were no different from other empty cells. Only the new bars set off the darkness behind them.

The smell is strong.

There is no sound.

There was no movement.

nobody?

Everyone looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Ricky patted the absent-minded Samuel on the shoulder. The latter seemed to be in a dream and slowly came back to his senses.

At this moment.

"ah"

A heavy and long sigh came out from the darkness of one of the cells, with a hint of laziness.

"Brie, are you snoring again?"

The lazy voice chewed a few times, as if it had just woken up: "It's fucking louder than thunder..."

Hearing this voice, Samir's whole body trembled.

There was a sound of a human body turning over in the darkness.

Everyone looked at each other and held their breath.

It's people.

living person.

Samir's raised steps stopped, as if hesitating between moving forward and stopping for a long time.

He stared blankly at the darkness ahead, the torch in his hand shaking slightly.

Seeing Samuel's strange behavior, Ricky and Clay looked at each other.

The driller frowned tightly, while Russell was confused.

Soon, there was a muffled sound from another cell, as if someone had punched the wall hard.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes and look into the darkness in another cell.

A desolate male voice was heard: "Hahahaha, it sounds like thunder can be heard here..."

Hearing this careless voice, Samir was shocked again, and his whole body began to tremble.

The prisoners in the darkness and stench were silent for a while.

The first lazy voice sounded again: "By the way, what does the sound of thunder sound like? Do any of you still remember it?"

The desolate voice hummed, dragging out a long nasal sound, seeming to be pondering.

"Of course, listen up, Naki, the sound of thunder is like this," the desolate voice began to exhale, and imitated vividly: "Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Puff..."

Two cells away, several different laughters came from the darkness of the other three cells.

Thales could feel that there were about five to six people there.

Some of these laughters are sad, some are dull, and some are thick, but without exception, they all make people feel depressed.

"Fuck you, Tardin," the lazy voice laughed, and the prisoner named Naki sarcastically said:

"This is obviously the sound of you and Brie secretly fucking the wall at night..."

The desolate voice seemed to be amused by himself, and laughed wildly: "Fuck the wall, hahaha, fuck the wall, hahahahahahahahaha."

Tardin's laughter was very long and strange, but Thales felt an inexplicable mania from it.

and desolate.

At this moment, a third voice sounded from the third cell.

"Ahhh... you are very proud, aren't you, Naki, Tardin?"

Thales frowned: This was like the dissatisfied roar of a wild beast.

Naki and Tardin's laughter slowly died away.

Compared to the laziness of the first voice and the desolation of the second voice, the third voice is sharp and mean, rather eerie.

It reminds me of a predator lurking in the dark, gnashing his teeth and claws.

"But I know you can't hide it from me. I know..." The speaker gritted his teeth, as if he had witnessed something unbearable.

silence.

"Ah," Tardin, who had just laughed wildly, snorted, seeming to be quite disdainful:

"Oh, here we go again, Nai, our logistics officer."

The next second, the eerie voice suddenly broke into a high-pitched voice: "Yes! I know, Naki, Tardin, you two are talkative and talk about boring dialogues every day. In fact, they are all secret codes, right?"

"What are you planning!"

Boom!

The sound of fists hitting the wall could be heard in the darkness.

I heard this man named "Nai" beating the wall and saying hysterically:

"You must be planning secretly, you want to kill me... Yes, that must be the case, you, you, yes, you, across the cell, want to annoy me to death with endless trash talk, and then you can monopolize the supplies,

You can survive until that day...it must be like this! It must be!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Nai's pounding on the wall became louder and louder, and he seemed to be doing whatever it took.

"I tell you, you are delusional! No one can deprive me of my rights, no one can! Delusion! I want to kill you, I want to kill you before you do it."

Nai's crazy roar echoed in the hall, filled with sorrow and hatred.

Outside the cell, Clay scratched his ears in embarrassment.

Everyone looked at each other nervously, but Ricky raised his hand to stop their actions and stared at Samir's back.

But Samir just listened quietly, motionless

Amidst the curses that came back and forth, the lazy Naki laughed and whistled rhythmically.

Nai's curse paused slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a melodious song sounded in the darkness:

"The boy rides a horse, the girl carries a basket, they meet by chance on the roadside, and they fall in love at first sight~"

"At that time, the stars were shining brightly at night, and the breeze was blowing softly, and the young man murmured in a low voice: When I am rich all over the world, I hope you will love me deeply~"

Unconsciously, the curses became quieter.

Naki has a good sense of rhythm. This ditty could be heard faintly in the darkened cell, mixed in with Nye's curses, and the sound was crisp and clear.

"The king is old, and the woman carries the staff. See you again in another year, and the years are ruthless~"

"At that time, the dead leaves were falling, and the sun was setting. The old woman sighed: You are rich in the world, how can you be so affectionate?"

Slowly, as Naji's singing faded, Nye's curses also disappeared.

Only the sound of huffing and puffing was left.

Nai snorted angrily, and then there was the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

The darkness in the five cells returned to silence again.

But Samir remained motionless, silently staring at the darkness in front of him.

Only the firelight in his hand trembled slightly.

Soon, another timid voice trembled in the air:

"Naki, it's not..."

This person is either born with a fine voice, or he is really timid. I just heard him say in a broken voice, "No, no..."

Naki sighed in the darkness, and said lazily in a coaxing tone: "What's the matter, Cannon?"

"That's not, that's not..."

"Not what?"

Cannon trembled and said, "That's not the sound of thunder, let alone Brie's snoring. I know that's not..."

He sounded extremely frightened:

"That's...that's the sound of the Iron Curtain opening..."

Everyone, including Thales, was shocked: the people in the cell noticed them.

Cannon's voice continued, but gradually changed its tone:

"They, they are coming, they are coming, they are coming to drag us out and behead us, for our sins, for our dereliction of duty, for our lack of repentance, for our selfishness...ah! They are coming
