Chen Shuihong was scared, Li Tianheng was nervous, but Qiao Mengting remained the same as before, still silent as if she was thinking about something, as if she had long forgotten the fact that there was a dragon in the castle, she was more calm and less nervous, her overall state was not much different from when she was in the room.
Of course, it is not the point that Qiao Mengting is timid and bold, nor is it important whether she is thinking about the problem. It is just that as a newcomer, she will not and cannot attract other people's ideas. In fact, from the time she left the house to the present, whether it is Chen Shuihong or Li Tianheng, both of them have
Without even looking at the girl, both of them focused all their attention on He Fei and Peng Hu. It was obvious that Zuo Fei was
As the captain of the team, He Fei has the right to command the team. As the veteran of the team, Peng Hu also has a decisive say in the team. That is to say, as long as Peng Hu insists on something, He Fei has a certain chance of adopting it.
Extremely high, and what Chen Shuihong and Li Tianheng currently want is undoubtedly for them to nod and then agree to hide in the next room.
However……
"What? Hiding? What a joke! Cheng Ying and the others are still inside. What if the female slugs come in the meantime? If you want to hide, go and hide yourself. I have to stay where I am and be a lookout!"
What disappointed the two people and even made them unable to refute was that as soon as the opinion was raised, Peng Hu shook his head and refused on the spot before He Fei could speak. The reason given was very sufficient, and the reason was just like what the bald man said, because Tang Meng
and Cheng Yingzheng were both operating on Chen Xiaoyao in the room.
I don’t know how long the operation will last, but at least one thing is certain, that is, there must be no interference during the operation, and the operation must not be interrupted. If a female gall appears during the operation, Cheng Yingtang, who is not alone in the room, will have no way to escape.
, Chen Xiaoyao, whose operation was interfered with, was even more certain to die.
In order to prevent accidents from happening, someone must be kept outside the room as a lookout. Once a female locust is found approaching, the person responsible for the lookout must risk his or her life to lure the female locust away no matter what, even at the expense of his own life!
Peng Hu thought of the hidden dangers of the operation in advance, so from the moment he left the room, Peng Hu took the initiative to assume the responsibility of being a lookout. If the female mannequin appeared again before the operation was over, he would definitely use himself as bait.
To lead them away, we must ensure that the operation is not affected, and the lives of Cheng Ying and the others must be guaranteed no matter what.
"Ah! Brother Peng is right, the operation must not be affected, otherwise Brother Chen will definitely be dead. If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten. If that's the case, then, I will accompany you too!" You are worthy of having an extreme personality.
When Peng Hu explained the reason, Li Tianheng suddenly realized
, who looked like a coward just now, gritted his teeth and agreed, and then he bravely expressed his agreement and decided to guard the door with Peng Hu. When he saw this, or in other words, when he discovered that Li Tianheng, who had supported him not long ago, suddenly
After the reality of defection, Chen Shuihong was shocked!
Perhaps because he was afraid that the two of them would drag him together to keep his fat body trembling, Chen Shuihong quickly looked to the opposite side, looking at He Fei who had frowned and glanced around him at some point.
"Um, Brother He, you..." Seeing the frowning expression on the college student's face, Chen Shuihong lowered his voice and tried to test it out. But what surprised Chen Shuihong was that as if he hadn't heard the middle-aged fat man's probing inquiry from beginning to end, he glanced around
In the corridor environment, He Fei turned to look at everyone, and then asked everyone including Peng Hu a question:
"Where did Zhao Ping go?"
……………
Time, 21:55 at night, Chris Castle.
The stars at night are hanging and twinkling in the black-like sky, and combined with the vague waning moon that is not completely round, the two sides together form an ordinary night scene. It is no different from the usual night. It looks so ordinary, but who knows?
It can be imagined that under this seemingly ordinary night, there is now an unprecedented shadow and panic hidden.
"Quick, Robert, haven't you tied up the planks yet? I'm almost finished here."
"Shut up, Jim, do you think I don't want to end it as soon as possible? Or do you think I want to stay here and wait to die?"
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing. If you have time to argue, you might as well do more work!"
At night, in the vast open space between the castle and the city wall, a group of white men in camouflage uniforms were gathering and busy. There was no doubt that they were security personnel, the remaining patrol security guards who were still alive.
That’s why we use the word “residue” to describe it.
The number of people is now incomplete, and has been reduced sharply from the original 10 people to 7 people. Yes, when they learned about the death of Daniel, George and Stephen, the remaining 7 people were all frightened, and then ran away madly after confirming the news that there was a bug in the castle.
, trying his best to escape from the castle.
Obviously, due to the fair and just killing of the mummies, captain Richard, who had witnessed the power of the mummies during the day, was the first to decide that the castle could not be stayed for a long time, and concluded that the consequences of staying in the castle would be the death of everyone. Initially, he wanted to take Jim and Thomas with him
run
He rushed out of the city gate and left first, but unexpectedly the city gate was sealed with iron chains. Then he encountered four murderous armors that ran out of the castle! Faced with so many terrifying armors that could move on their own like humans, in desperation, Li Li
Chad had no choice but to take the two of them back to the castle.
, only the armor was left to patrol back and forth in the huge castle courtyard. What happened next was simple. Soon, except for the few people who had been killed, other security guards came downstairs and rushed to 1 after discovering the signal failure.
Lou reported the situation. It was said to be a report, but it was
In fact, before a few people arrived on the first floor, they had already seen the truth while passing by the second floor, and discovered an absolute reality that was a hundred times more terrifying than the signal failure. What is reality? The reality is Daniel's torn apart world.
Bloody corpses!
The result was certain. Seeing their companions smashed to pieces and dying in such a miserable state, except for William and Robert, who were the first to see them, they rolled and ran towards the first floor. Jack and Bud, who were the last to see them, were also frightened and fled to the first floor. At this point,
Including captain Richard, the seven remaining security guards gathered on the first floor of the castle, and then exchanged information and explained to each other. It didn't take long for everyone to be convinced.
There is a fact about the castle. There is a terrifying mummy-like creature that goes around killing people in the castle. It kills everyone it sees. The mummy is not only invulnerable and fearless of firearms, but it is also very likely to use magic, a kind of control that can control armor.
The spell controlled four armors that no one was wearing to patrol back and forth in the castle courtyard, causing them to hide in the castle and unable to leave.
Of course, Richard is worthy of being a veteran who has been on the battlefield. After it was confirmed that three people in the team had died tragically and the city gate was sealed, others were confused and panicked, but he was the only one who always maintained his sanity.
While everyone was hiding in the room and shivering, Richard walked out of the room and left the team alone as if he was not afraid of death. After that, he stayed in the control room with obviously poor concealment. No one knew what Richard meant by this move, but
Richard lacks
He observed intently from beginning to end, taking advantage of the control room being close to the door and window to constantly look through the window. Through the castle window, he found that the four armors were still moving around and patrolling the courtyard as before. Seeing that the armors were still the same, perhaps others had already despaired.
However, the strange thing is that Richard is very patient. His patience is surprisingly good. He spent almost the entire afternoon peeking out of the window, taking the trouble to peek into the window and observe the armor, until...
It wasn't until the sun set and the sky was getting dark. When the time entered 18 o'clock, he discovered something unusual and saw a painting that was difficult to understand but inspiring:
There is no reason, no reason. Just when the time reaches 18 o'clock, which represents night, through the window, I can see that the murderous armors that were still patrolling around the castle have stopped one after another. They have stopped moving without warning. Then in an instant.
It disintegrated and collapsed, turning into parts all over the ground!
Witnessing this scene, Richard naturally couldn't figure out the reason for the collapse of the armor, but the disintegration and collapse of the armor into dead objects once again ignited his long-extinguished fire of hope. It was obvious that with the loss of the four armors,
Life', this means that the threat in the castle compound disappears. As long as there is no threat in the compound, he can lead everyone to escape again and try to escape from the castle!
After waiting for a moment and seeing that the armor had indeed completely fallen apart and no longer gathered together, Richard returned to the room. He first told the security guards that the armor in the compound was threatening to fall apart and disappeared. Then he led the team out without hesitation and rushed out of the castle.
At the same time, he scattered around looking for exits, trying to find along the walls, looking for a secret hole to escape from the castle. Yes, Richard had guessed that the castle was not
It must be impregnable. Even if the city gate is completely sealed by thick iron chains, once the city wall is wide after all, there will always be more or less holes left over the course of thousands of years. Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this idea, but it is a pity.
Yes, the security guards searched for a long time, even searching the most hidden corners of the city wall. As a result, there were no loopholes or holes, and the huge city wall was intact!
There are two wells scattered in the castle compound, but the question is, are the wells useful? Can they help them escape? They are just two ordinary wells that still have water sources until now, and they are the kind that if you fall in, you are destined to drown.
Faced with such a result, and looking at the desperate height of the city wall, the security guards collapsed. After all, everyone knew that there were worms in the castle. When they thought that the worms would come downstairs to kill them at any time, everyone was desperate and desperate.
be terrified!
God, please be merciful and save us. We don’t want to die. Please help us and let us escape from this castle of death!
In despair, the security guards who stayed in the castle knew that they would die sooner or later, and began to pray. They cried and begged God, who did not know whether he existed, to appear and save them.
Richard was not sure whether there was a God in the world, but he was certain that praying to God was definitely not a good idea! As the saying goes, it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Thinking of this, Richard did not give up and immediately issued an order to everyone.
Return to the castle to collect furniture.
In fact, the answer is already clear after seeing this, and Richard's intention is also obvious, that is, to make ladders, using the furniture all over the castle rooms to make wooden ladders. That's right, because the city wall is too high to climb. If you want to
The only way to get out is to use a ladder, and then use the ladder to climb out of the city wall. Fortunately, there are many rooms in the castle, so you can use the ladder to get out.
Ladders can indeed be made from wooden furniture scattered around the room, and tools can be easily obtained in the armory. Nails are the only thing that is hard to find. Of course, a living person cannot be choked to death by urinating. Even if there are no nails in the castle, the security guards are still smart.
Instead, we chose ropes and removed the wires on the first floor that had become useless due to the loss of signal and used them to tie up the ladder.
In order to escape from the castle as soon as possible, in the next few hours, the security guards worked together and began to save themselves. They ran back and forth between the courtyard and the castle. Many wooden furniture were moved out of the room and sent to the courtyard, and then chopped into pieces with axes.
The wooden blocks were connected and assembled under the binding of wires, and then gradually took the form of a ladder.
Time passes quietly in the busyness of everyone...
"Fuck, there are not enough wires! Hey, Thomas, the wires you found are used up!"
In front of the city wall, at this moment, looking at the prototype of the wooden ladder in front of him but unable to be built due to insufficient ropes, how could Jack be willing? He hurriedly raised his head and yelled and complained to Thomas. It was obvious that in order to leave this place as soon as possible, fear had already
He had already tried his best and had been busy for a long time. He thought that the ladder would be completed smoothly, but unexpectedly, only one third of it was built and the rope was used up. In his eagerness, Jack vented his dissatisfaction in one breath and was responsible for collecting wires.
on Thomas.
The result was certain. Seeing Jack's face full of anger and complaining about himself, how could Thomas, who was also eager to leave, be willing to be scolded? As soon as the other party finished speaking, he put down the board, and Thomas followed closely and raised his head to refute: "Don't ask me, I
I have tried my best, but I have torn down all the wires on the first floor and I can no longer find the wires!"
"If you don't believe it, you can go find it yourself!"
"What? No more? You said the wires are gone?" Jack was shocked when he heard the other party's answer. Not only was he shocked, but Jim, Robert, William and Bud all at the scene all changed their expressions suddenly. Indeed,
Thomas didn't lie, for
When making ladders, they could be said to pull and cut the ropes as soon as they saw them. In my impression, the few wires on the first floor were indeed ripped out by them. They even ripped away the telephone wires in the control room. Now the wires are
Use light, doesn't that mean...
"Oops, what should I do now?"
Knowing that there was no rope, William was dumbfounded. He quickly turned around and looked at Richard. As William did, others also turned around and cast their gazes. It was obvious that as a captain and having experienced the war, Richard had already become the leader of everyone.
The backbone, in fact, from the initial hiding to the adventurous observation during the period and even the building of wooden ladders at this moment, everything has
Everything is under the command of Richard, and Richard himself has always been the calmest among the security guards. Therefore, when he saw others looking at him, he maintained his basic composure and was scanning the nervous surroundings.
His expression changed slightly, so he asked Thomas: "Are you sure you have collected all the wires on the first floor?"
"I promise to God that I have searched the entire first floor. All the usable wires have been torn out. Even the telephone wires have not been spared." Seeing Thomas swearing and swearing, Richard's mouth twitched and he sighed.
He sounded like he had made some kind of decision, then turned to everyone and gave the order: "It seems we have to go upstairs."
What!!!
"No! You can't go upstairs. There are mosquitoes there. William and I finally escaped from the second floor, and now we go up again. So, wouldn't that be asking for death? I still have a wife and daughter who love me at home, and I don't want to die.
I don’t want to be torn into pieces like Daniel!”
"Yes, you can't go to the second floor. It's too dangerous there! How about we take off our clothes and tear them into strips?"
As soon as Richard finished speaking, it was as if a huge rock was thrown into the calm lake. The security guards immediately shook their heads and refused. Yes, because many people had seen the wolf on the second floor, but they had never seen the wolf before.
Been to the 1st floor,
Subconsciously, the security guards thought that the mummies had been wandering around on the second floor. Although they didn't know whether the mummies would come to the first floor sooner or later, compared to the absolutely dangerous second floor of the castle, the first floor, which had been calm during this period, was undoubtedly much safer. This is also why
them
The main reason for having the courage to collect furniture on the first floor to look for ropes was that in the eyes of the security guards, the first floor was relatively safe. Unexpectedly, Richard now asked everyone to go to the second floor! Thinking of Daniel still lying in pieces on the second floor, I thought
As expected, the terrifying mummy killed people on sight. As expected, the security guards panicked, especially William and Robert, who had witnessed mummies killing people with their own eyes. They were even more frightened and had the loudest objections. Finally, they even suggested using clothes instead of ropes, but
…
"That's enough! You think I want to go to the second floor? But there is no way. At present, only one-third of the ladder has been manufactured, which is not enough to help us climb out of the city wall. Even if all of us take off our clothes, we can only lift the ladder
Increased to half, listen, unless we want all of us to die here, we must build the ladder as soon as possible!"
"Okay, let's go look for it on the first floor and see if there are any sheets or clothes in the room."
As the saying goes, things must be done when the time comes. Seeing the collective opposition of his team members, Richard, who had reprimanded everyone, had no choice but to compromise. He ordered everyone to go to the first floor in the next best way to try to see if they could stay in the surrounding rooms.
Although there is little hope of finding fabrics and clothing that can be used to make ropes, this is the only way at the moment.
Soon, under the leadership of Richard himself, the simple wooden ladder that was just beginning to take shape was put down. The security guards left the city wall and returned to the castle. They then searched around the first floor of the castle, looking for anything that could be used to make ropes.
As mentioned above, in order to collect as much fabric and clothing as possible to use as ropes, as soon as they returned to the first floor of the castle, the security guards dispersed and searched intensively. Except for Richard who went to the North District alone to search, the rest were only two people.
One group rushed to other areas separately, but...
In the hall, just as everyone was rushing around with flashlights, through the moonlight outside the window, they saw a dark shadow slowly walking out from behind a column that was still standing silently.
Because the environment at the scene is too dark, even if the moonlight shines out of the window, it can only illuminate the outline of the black shadow. No one knows why the black shadow is hidden here, but this is not important, and it is not the focus of the current attention. As he walks out of the column, it is no longer hidden.
, Next, the black shadow made a move. After looking around for a while, with the help of the cover of darkness, the black shadow lifted its feet and walked slowly towards a certain direction.
Chris Castle, West End, 1st Floor.
Squeak, click, click.
The corridor that had always been silent and dark was no longer dark and silent. With the flashlight beam shaking frequently and the door ringing, Jack and Bud were running together in the corridor, pushing open the rooms on both sides from time to time.
He opened the door, then walked into the room and looked around, looking for the barely there fabric clothes.
There is no doubt that compared to the second and third floors, which are better preserved due to their larger collections, the first floor is the most deserted area of the entire castle. In addition to the pursuit of retro, there is nothing here except a large number of rusty weapons.
Outside the warehouse, the remaining rooms are basically empty, and the rooms used for soldiers to live in are also empty. At most, there are some dilapidated wooden furniture. It is conceivable that faced with this result, both Jack and Bud,
The more they wandered around, the more frustrated they became, and the more they searched, the more disappointed they became, and finally...
Bang!
After passing through two corridors one after another, after witnessing dozens of so-called living rooms, Jack pushed open the door and cursed when he went out. He complained to Bud opposite who had also just come out of the room: "Damn it, still..."
There is nothing, it’s over, we are definitely doomed this time.”
"No, we can't give up. There are still many rooms in the back that we haven't looked for. If we can't find them, we will be forced to go to the second floor by Richard!" Unlike Jack's despair and irritability, as a man with more than ten people,
A veteran security guard with more than 40 years of work experience, Jack, who is nearly 40 years old, does not show much despair. It is true that he knows just as well.
There were larvae in the castle, but he knew better that if they wanted to escape from the castle, everyone had to find fabric ropes that could build a ladder. Seeing that Jack was losing patience and trying to give up, Bud directly warned him not to give up. After all, if you continue to search, you might still be there.
There is hope, but once you give up, everyone will have no choice but to go to the second floor to die.
"Well, I would rather die than go to the second floor anyway. Instead of going upstairs to die, I would rather work in vain here!"
As expected, under Bud's warning, Jack had no choice but to agree. Then he continued to move, pushed the door open and walked into the next room. Seeing Jack continuing to search, Bud, who had been checking on the opposite side, did not hesitate to turn around and push the door open.
door and go straight into another room.
Perhaps due to the overly tense relationship, after just checking for a few seconds, Jack pushed the door open again and returned to the corridor before Bud went out. As he pushed the door open and walked out, he cursed again: "Damn, it's an empty room again.
Only there is a broken wooden table in the corner. Hey, Bud, where are you..."
Um?
As mentioned above, after pushing the door open, just when Jack was about to tell the test results as before, Jack stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence. Then he looked forward with the help of a flashlight and stared at the person in front of the door with stunned eyes.
He looked at the man who had stood in front of the door at some point. However, the man was not Bud, but another man, a man with glasses that he seemed to have seen before!
