Li Deyang put on his military coat and opened the door.
In the biting cold wind, an old man stood there tremblingly, his ears were already red from the cold, and in the old ravines on his face, there were still tears frozen into ice marks.
"Dad?!" Li Deyang was startled and quickly took the other person's hand to let him into the house.
"Deyang!!" The old man shook off Li Deyang's hand with his frozen palm and cried out, "Something happened to Tingting!"
Hearing these words, Li Deyang's expression changed instantly.
"What's going on?"
"After we arrived at the hotel, I went downstairs to give Tingting a cup of hot water, and then I heard the sound of a window breaking upstairs. I quickly ran upstairs and saw a, a... monster, and caught Tingting.
Let’s go!” the old man said incoherently.
"Monster?" Li Deyang frowned, "What kind of monster?"
"It looks a bit like an ant, red, but very big! It's scary!" the old man said while gesturing.
Red ants?
Li Deyang's heart sank, "Did you see where it went?"
"We're going into the forest!" the old man said anxiously, "Deyang! You are the captain of the forest ranger bureau. Quickly call the higher ups and ask them to send people, helicopters, etc., to come over and get Tingting."
Save me!"
"The higher authorities have no control over this matter."
Li Deyang walked quickly back into the house, put on his hat, gloves and shotgun, and pulled out a sheathed straight knife from the corner. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a dark red cloak from the bottom of the box.
"Deyang, Deyang! What are you doing?!" The old man looked at this scene blankly.
"Into the forest."
Li Deyang walked quickly outside the house with a shotgun on his back and a knife. He turned around and told the old man, "You are old, just stay here and don't go anywhere. If I haven't come back in three days, you
Just call the police.
By the way, there is a bank card in the drawer under my bed. In it is the three million I saved. The password is Tingting's birthday. Take it back and take Tingting to buy an apartment in a big city and enjoy it.
Enjoy your happiness and don't keep running to the corners."
"Deyang! I'll go with you!" Seeing this, the old man followed him stubbornly, "I remember when your father and I were also the most famous hunters in the village, entering the forest..."
"This is different!!"
Li Deyang increased his tone, pushed the old man back into the room, and said seriously, "Dad, just listen to me and wait here. I will definitely bring Tingting back."
After saying that, he locked the door directly and remained unmoved no matter how the old man shouted inside.
Li Deyang shouted in the cold wind.
"Chen Han!"
"exist!"
Chen Han's figure walked out of the next room. The soundproofing of this house was not very good. He heard the conversation between the two and had already changed his equipment and was ready to go.
The two of them stood in the night wind holding sheathed straight swords, their dark red cloaks that had not been put on for a long time spotless.
Li Deyang glanced at the dark and deep forest, walked forward resolutely, and spoke slowly.
"Team 332, all members are dispatched!"
…
In the primeval forest.
Lin Qiye and the others walked out of a tall dense forest one after another. The beam of their flashlight swayed across a deserted open space and slowly stopped.
"Is this the abandoned forest farm?" Cao Yuan said.
An Qingyu nodded, "This is where it's marked on the map."
Baili Pangpang used his flashlight to scan around carefully. Most of the area was empty mud, but there were a few shadows of two or three-story low buildings in the distance, as well as many messy vines and weeds.
.
"Why is this place so eerie?" Baili Pangpang shrank his neck.
Lin Qiye glanced at him and said, "You have said this at least twenty times on the way here."
"Twenty-six times." An Qingyu said calmly.
"This, it's really spooky here! Don't you think so?" Baili Pangpang couldn't help but retort.
"Let's go inside and take a look first." Lin Qiye ignored Baili Pangpang and walked straight forward.
Those standing in the darkness are all gray-white old-fashioned brick and mud houses. Almost all the windows on the walls are broken, leaving only narrow and strange black square openings. When the light of the flashlight shines through, you can vaguely see the broken tables.
chairs, and rotten walls.
Dense vines wrapped around the walls, and barren weeds almost surrounded the entire building. Through the gaps in the weeds, one could see the dark door on the first floor of the building.
Desolate, eerie, weird...
Even when Lin Qiye stood in front of these abandoned low buildings, the hairs on his body could not help but stand up, giving him a creepy feeling.
"So why did that witness come to such a ghost place?" Baili Pangpang said very puzzled.
Lin Qiye and others also fell into silence.
"The information said that when witnesses discovered the giant red ant, it was eating a dead crow on the roof of a short building." Lin Qiye broke the silence and slowly said, "If I guessed correctly,
, the windows of these low houses should have been broken by these giant ants. They should be active in this area frequently, so everyone should be careful..."
"Don't worry, I will protect myself!" Baili Pangpang mustered up his courage and said.
Lin Qiye glanced at him and said helplessly, "What I mean is, be careful when you do it. Don't kill the worker ants and leave me alive."
Baili Pangpang:......
Lin Qiye and the others stepped through the thick grass and walked towards the main entrance of one of the low houses.
Now the main goal of Lin Qiye and others is to find a living giant ant, and this abandoned forest farm where giant ants once appeared is the most likely place to find their traces.
They must search the entire place.
The beam of the flashlight was projected into the dark door. Baili Pangpang looked at the eerie house in front of him. He couldn't help but swallow, closed his eyes, and walked inside bravely.
Suddenly, his head hit something.
Baili Pangpang screamed and took two steps back. He saw Lin Qiye standing in front of the building and slowly turned around...
"Let's go. I've scanned it with my mental power. There's nothing inside."
Lin Qiye shrugged regretfully and walked towards the building next door.
Baili Pangpang:......
You can use your mental power to sweep away, you should have told me earlier!
It made me worry and fear here for so long!
After knowing that he did not have to enter this haunted house, Baili Pangpang was obviously relieved. He followed Lin Qiye through several buildings in sequence, but found no trace of the giant ants.
Just when everyone was about to reach the last short building, Lin Qiye suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.
"Not in this building?" Baili Pangpang asked tentatively.
Lin Qiye stared at the eerie low building in front of him, gradually put his hand into his backpack, and slowly said something that made the three of them feel numb.
"Behind the third window from the left on the second floor...there is a person.
