I slowed down, turned around and took the flashlight to scan around again. Only then did I realize that there seemed to be an invisible wall around me. On this side of the wall, I was the only one, but on the other side of the wall, there was someone else.
They were so densely packed that one could not see the end of the black bugs. Those black bugs gathered together, but they did not dare to take a step beyond this invisible wall.
It was like a sea turned into a mulberry field, and a hopeless situation emerged. Just now, I had been completely trapped in a situation of no life or death, but who knew that the situation would suddenly reverse now.
I stared blankly at these little bugs in front of me, wondering what was going on. Suddenly, there were several flashlight beams coming from behind me.
Along with the light of those flashlights, those black bugs were stunned for a moment, then suddenly crawled around like crazy, and soon receded like the tide and disappeared into the darkness.
At this time, the lights of the flashlights behind me gradually came closer to me, and a group of vague figures loomed in the fog illuminated by the light. I took a closer look and couldn't help but be overjoyed. These people approaching me were not...
Officer Hu and the others?
Not long after, the people on the opposite side also noticed me, and Officer Hu's screams came from the opposite side: "Oh my god, Comrade Lin! Why are you here?"
Among the people who came over were not only Officer Hu, but also Chen Meiyang, Feng Chun, and Lin Qianyi. Seeing that they were all safe, I ran over quickly, wanting to join them.
But when I walked in, I found that Officer Hu and the others were not in good condition. The clothes on each of them were in tatters, and Officer Hu and Feng Chun were even covered in blood.
It looked like they had suffered serious injuries. Lin Qianyi and Chen Meiyang, who were in slightly better condition, also had their faces covered in dust and blood. One of them was supporting Officer Hu, and the other was supporting Feng Chun, and they walked towards me quickly.
I walked up and was about to ask them what happened, but I saw Lin Qianyi waved her hand at me and said, "Hurry up, those guys are coming after me."
I didn't understand what they were talking about for a moment, but Officer Hu and the others seemed to be very scared of what was behind them, and they continued to run forward without even saying a word to me.
Just when they passed me, I heard a lot of footsteps coming from the direction where Officer Hu and the others were running. I shined a flashlight in the direction of the sound and saw a group of blurry figures.
Suddenly it burst out of the mist and ran towards us.
Because of the fog, the figures were blurry, but I saw that they all seemed to be naked, and an ominous thought emerged in my mind.
Are those shape-shifting Gu worms?! The strange shell bugs just retreated suddenly. It was obviously because they were afraid of something that made those bugs afraid. In this cave, except for the shape-shifting Gu worms that feed on those monster insects
Besides, I'm afraid there's nothing else.
When I thought that the figure rushing towards me might be a human form transformed by a shape-shifting Gu insect, I was so frightened that I ran back quickly.
The five of us ran for who knows how long. Just when I could no longer tell where I was, Feng Chun, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and threw himself on the ground.
After I caught up with him, I realized that we had actually returned to the exit of the Gu insect lair.
Feng Chun was the first to crawl out of the gap in the stone wall. Not long after, he poked his head out of the gap again and said to us: "It's safe outside. Climb over here!"
At this time, the remaining four of us had all rushed to the stone wall. After hearing Feng Chun's words, Officer Hu asked Chen Meiyang to go first, followed by Lin Qianyi, and he and I took the rear.
Because the situation was urgent, no one showed any humility at this time. Seeing Chen Meiyang and Lin Qianyi get through smoothly, Officer Hu asked me to hurry over.
I was about to bend down, but suddenly I thought of something and said, "No! Officer Hu, Professor Tang is still here!"
"Tang Fei? We didn't find him!"
"No, Professor Tang is right here. I came here with him before!"
"What?" Officer Hu looked at me in shock. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of footsteps in the distance. We looked back and found that a large group of people could be vaguely seen in the fog.
Caught up.
Upon seeing this, Officer Hu pushed me to the ground without saying a word, and at the same time shouted: "If you have anything to say, let's talk to you outside!"
I had no choice but to crawl forward with my head covered without saying a word.
When I got out of the gap, the sound of shooting suddenly came from the gap. The people who had climbed out immediately gathered around the gap, watching the flickering fire coming from the gap.
Just when everyone thought something had happened to Officer Hu, Officer Hu's head suddenly came out of the gap. He crawled out desperately while shouting to us: "Quick, pull me up! Those guys
Got my feet!"
Lin Qianyi saw that it was not good, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Officer Hu's waistband, and pulled it out with all her strength. With strength beyond ordinary people, Lin Qianyi quickly pulled Officer Hu's legs out of the gap.
Later. However, at this moment, those of us standing by could clearly see that four or five pairs of hands were grabbing Officer Hu's ankles, desperately trying to pull him back.
Seeing this, I pulled out a life-saving ax. Not afraid of hitting the wrong person, I used the ax to hit the hands of those people who were holding on to Officer Hu.
As the desperate screams came from the lair, I cut off the wrists of those who were holding Officer Hu one by one. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Qianyi finally pulled Officer Hu completely from the gap.
came out.
Seeing that Officer Hu had also escaped, the group did not stop any longer, turned around and ran towards the exit. As I ran, I looked back at the stone wall that gradually disappeared behind us. I could only pray for Professor Tang in my heart, hoping that he could
Get out of there safely.
A group of five people ran for who knows how long. We didn't stop until we escaped from the volcano road and entered the ruins of the ancient city. By this time, everyone was sweating, panting, and exhausted.
Although I was exhausted, I was full of doubts, so I asked them what happened in the cave.
Officer Hu gave me an outline intermittently: after their group entered the volcano road, they did not find the food supplies that Li Shengli mentioned. Instead, they saw the stone wall at the end of the volcano road. And looking at the stone wall
The gap in the wall seemed to have been opened recently.
Regarding the cave behind the stone wall, Feng Chun and Chen Meiyang did not participate in the inspection of the cave organized by Professor Tang, so they did not know what was going on inside. They only knew that it was probably the Dian Kingdom in the past.
A place used for worship.
Because he suspected that Professor Tang might be hiding behind the stone wall, Officer Hu led everyone through the stone wall and into the cave behind it.
As soon as their group entered the cave, they encountered exactly the same situation as what I had encountered before. A bunch of strange shellfish fell from the sky and attacked them. In the chaos, Officer Hu and his party also suffered from the same problem.
The bugs separated and waited until they reached the depths of the cave before reuniting.
However, at this moment, everyone noticed that many people suddenly appeared around them. Officer Hu initially thought that these people were the associates of Professor Tang that Li Shengli and the others had always mentioned, but then, they
It was discovered that these figures that suddenly appeared were not wearing any clothes, and what surprised Chen Meiyang and the others was that the appearance of these figures looked exactly like a dead archaeological team member from the archaeological team.
But soon, Officer Hu and others realized that these guys in front of them were probably not human beings, because these people had no response at all to Officer Hu's questions, and instead started to attack them.
Officer Hu wanted to fire a warning shot to stop the other party, but who knew that those people were completely unafraid of death and rushed towards Officer Hu and others like madmen. There was no other way, Officer Hu could only fire back.
But Officer Hu and the others only had one gun at the time, and the number of those weirdos was far more than a dozen. Therefore, not long after, Officer Hu had no choice but to order everyone to leave, risking the risk of being attacked by strange insects again, and returning to the original route.
Returned. Then, they accidentally met me on the way to escape.
