The cave that Mei Qian was in was very large. The three of them ran forward for several minutes, but they still didn't see the end.
However, although the screams were short, they sounded from time to time.
It is somewhat reassuring, as it means that the person who made the sound is relatively safe for the time being.
Probably because of the shorter distance, Mei Qian heard more sounds after bypassing a stone pillar and turning along the cave.
There were women screaming, men wailing, and even a large "rustling" sound.
Although he was running, Mei Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
These sounds indicate that at least two of Maomao's group are still alive.
Thinking of this, he cheered up and ran faster in the direction of the sound. After a while, he saw the entrance to the corridor in front of him and went straight in.
Fortunately, this cave is not surrounded by passages like the two previous stone chambers. There are only two entrances and exits, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.
The corridor was not long, and within a few breaths, Mei Qian rushed out quickly, and then his attention was attracted by the shaking light.
This is a wider cave than before. Excluding the factor of light, the view is pretty good, at least there are no obstacles.
Mei Qian saw three people in the distance, fleeing in this direction.
One of them held a torch for lighting, and the other two held stick-like weapons in their hands. They turned around from time to time, screaming loudly, and hitting the black monster insects behind them with all their strength as if to vent their anger.
Almost every one of those bugs was the size of an adult, and they were gathered together one next to the other. At first glance, it was hard to tell what the strange bugs looked like.
Mei Qian also clearly saw several human skins mixed in with the insect swarm, following closely behind the three of them.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them were more or less scratched by the insect's sharp forelimbs. It was obvious that the situation was critical. Mei Qian did not dare to delay and hurriedly walked towards them.
Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene happened.
The swarm of insects that had just been attacking the three men with great force just now turned back as quickly as the ebbing tide when Mei Qian approached...
Mei Qian's speed was too fast, leaving Zhang Yu and Ning Chi far behind.
By the time they ran out of breath and ran into the corridor, the previous screams had disappeared.
There was silence all around, which made me feel worried.
Fortunately, not long after walking forward, they saw the flickering light and heard the faint crying again.
When they walked out of the corridor, they saw Mei Qianzheng, who had arrived ahead of them, with his arms spread out like a wooden figure, holding a Tang sword in one hand and a scabbard in the other, looking completely at a loss.
And the reason why he was like this was entirely because there was a woman with disheveled hair hanging on his body like a koala, crying softly and refusing to come down no matter how much he tried to persuade her.
Zhang Yu and Ning Chi looked around again to confirm that there was no danger, and then turned their attention to another man and woman sitting on the stone wall.
"Duan Yunxin, Liang Qian?" Zhang Yu took out his mobile phone again, looked at the photos on it, and then asked with some uncertainty.
He had to do this because the people in front of him looked really miserable.
There was literally no clean spot on his body, and even his face was covered in bruises and black and green stuff, which was really hard to distinguish.
Fortunately, the two of them were in good spirits. After listening to his question, they quickly recovered from their dazed state, stood up and nodded at Zhang Yu, trembling lips and asked: "Are you from the rescue team?
"
"That's right!" Zhang Yu blinked, took out his ID from his backpack, and gave them a look.
"Officer Zhang, there is a ghost in this place." The man named Liang Qian only glanced at the police officer's ID card and then said in a hurried tone.
"Ghost?" Zhang Yu became wary and subconsciously touched his waist: "What kind of ghost?" He couldn't help but think of the human skin Mei Qian said.
Sure enough, confirmation was quickly obtained from these two people.
Although Duan Yunxin looked even more embarrassed, every part of his body was equally dirty, and his long hair was tangled, but when he spoke, he was much calmer than the man next to him.
She said after careful consideration: "Yes, well, you may not believe it, but it is human skin that can move. There are several of them. There are also a group of disgusting-looking bugs following us, and they have been chasing us, but this one..." At this point, she pointed at Mei Qian, who was comforting Mao Mao in a low voice. The initial disbelief turned into an almost admiring tone, and said: "After this guy came in with a knife, those monsters and bugs were like encountering natural enemies. , they all ran away."
Zhang Yu could completely imagine the scene that had just happened here in his mind, and was not surprised at all by the change in her tone.
Just as he was about to learn more about the situation, Mei Qian persuaded Mao Mao to come down. After looking at the cave from a distance, he said, "Now that we have found the person, let's leave quickly. We'll talk about anything on the way."
Naturally, no one objected to this proposal, so everyone started walking back along the original path.
Shortly after re-entering the corridor, Duan Yunxin first asked if there was anything to eat, probably because of the safety of the situation.
Zhang Yucai slapped his head, and together with Ning Chi, took out all the food and water in the backpack.
Maomao and the three of them had not eaten for more than two days and were really hungry. After dividing the food, they munched without ceremony.
Under such circumstances, Mei Qian and others finally understood the previous experiences of these two women and one man.
Maomao and Duan Yunxin came out together to relax. Since they were nearby, they must contact their old classmates.
I heard that another hanging coffin had been discovered in Lexiang, so I simply organized a camping activity, as if I wanted to relive the time I spent studying with my tutor in college.
It must be said that these young people love their university majors very much. They never forget to participate in "archaeological" work when they go out to play.
But what they didn't expect was that the local guide would take them into Shirengou to camp.
It happened that it started thundering and raining here in the evening.
Then, the people who gathered in a tent to play cards began to behave abnormally, as if they were possessed by evil spirits. They threw down their cards and walked into the heavy rain with a numb expression.
Only Maomao remained awake, but she was also frightened by the appearance of the four people. She did not dare to stop them, so she could only follow behind them tremblingly.
Then, she also saw the images left by the ancients.
But unlike Mei Qian, the actions performed by Maomao's four companions are 100% consistent with some of the people in the image.
Maomao, who was isolated and helpless, was almost frightened and lost control when faced with this kind of scene in person, even though he knew the scientific principles behind it.
When she saw them opening the entrance under the rock and starting to go down one by one, she finally mustered up the courage to stop them. She thought she was stronger than men, but she couldn't stop these companions at all, which made her angry. The other party was forcefully dragged underground by four people...
"Didn't you send the text message?" Mei Qian couldn't help frowning when he heard this and asked.
Maomao was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "At that time, I saw that my phone suddenly had a signal, so I secretly sent you a text message because I was afraid of alerting them. I was going to call the police later, but I didn't expect that the call could not be made at all..."
