Chapter 81 No Return
Fortunately, one end of this music classroom is in the shape of a staircase, and the overflowing water only stays under the first step.
As they walked up the stairs, they finally said goodbye to the weird feeling of stepping in water.
The snapping sound was driving them crazy.
Zhou Taifu shook the water off his shoes, stared around, and lowered his voice involuntarily, "It's too big here. If you want to search it all, I'm afraid it's too late."
"Try to search first. If you don't find anything, let's talk." Yu Wen's original intention was not to separate.
Standing from their position and looking around, darkness almost swallowed up everything here, and everything was shrouded in hazy.
The two start from the far left.
There were piles of equipment there, probably used for rehearsals. It was troublesome to move them back and forth, so I simply left them here.
When they thought that in less than 30 hours, they would come here at midnight to participate in the third rehearsal, the movements of their hands sped up a lot.
After a simple search, I didn't find anything special.
The two continued to walk inside. Fortunately, in addition to the mobile phone in Yu Wen's hand for lighting, Zhou Taifu also borrowed a miniature flashlight from Feng Lan.
It was Feng Lan who took it off the keychain.
The light is not strong and can only radiate a very short distance, but it is better than nothing.
Zhou Taifu moved his steps carefully. There were many colorful wires laid on the ground. At first glance, they looked like webs made by spider spirits in the coiled holes.
He tried to keep his feet high to avoid tripping over the line.
Ten minutes passed, and the two of them only searched a small area. At this speed, they would never have time to evacuate before dark.
"No," Zhou Taifu straightened his back, "Let's spread out a little bit so that the area can be wider."
Yu Wen didn't see any better way, so she nodded and replied. : "Then you should be more careful. When encountering a situation Just call me, and," she said seriously: "There are too many obstacles here, some of which can block the view. Be careful when encountering such a place."
Zhou Taifu nodded, "Okay, let's keep the distance at 10. Within meters ”
Just when Zhou Taifu was about to turn around and search on the other side, Yu Wen suddenly shouted in the direction of the door: "Miss Feng!"
After a while.
"Miss Yu," at the door Feng Lan's response came, But judging from the voice, Feng Lan was obviously very scared, "Please. Hurry up, it's so dark here."
After hearing Feng Lan's reply, Yu Wen felt more relieved. She said to Zhou Taifu After making a gesture, the latter left.
Go to the other side and search.
But there is always a gap between ideal and reality. The two are racing against time. Slowly, they strangely ignore the distance between them, causing the distance between them to grow further and further.
The weird and inexplicable atmosphere gradually eroded them. They became more and more impatient and their actions became much more violent.
Zhou Taifu rolled up his sleeves and moved a cabinet that seemed to be problematic, but the final result showed that he was overthinking it.
The cabinet is extremely clean, there is nothing.
The same goes for the gap under the cabinet.
"Crunch——"
A sudden friction sound caught the attention of the panting Zhou Taifu. He turned his head and looked around. Except for the light of Yu Wen's mobile phone on the other side, which kept flashing, there was no sound. What an anomaly.
"What sound?" He frowned.
"Crunch——"
As if playing hide-and-seek with him, as soon as he bent down, he heard another sound.
This almost made his hair stand on end.
It is not the harsh friction sound made by the old door shaft being pushed, it is made by the rope, as if it will be broken in the next second due to the embarrassing weight.
As a former mercenary, assassination is also one of the skills that must be mastered.
He once strangled a traitor to death with a rope. When the man was struggling to death, the rope made this sound.
He did not act immediately, but asked in the direction of Yu Wen in a loud voice: "Did you hear anything?"
The light over there flickered, and then Yu Wen's voice came, "No."
Her voice was very calm, and Zhou Taifu couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Be careful," he reminded his companions while looking around.
It is darker here than before. Where the outline could still be seen, now there are only dark shadows.
Zhou Taifu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which he brought with him when he bought soy milk in the early morning.
He is not addicted to tobacco, but has an indescribable persistence.
Origined from the mosquitoes that are rampant in the dense forests of Southeast Asia.
The veterans there smoked tobacco rolled by themselves, with ground leaves of a plant added to it.
Smoking it is very refreshing, and you won’t feel tired even if you don’t close your eyes all day and night.
He once asked the old soldier the name of that plant, but the old soldier gritted his rotten yellow teeth and told him with a smile that it was called Sangjiji in their local area.
There is another name, dead man's grass.
This grass is very strange. It grows in the muddy ground where a large number of corpses are buried, and it only grows where fresh corpses are buried.
The veteran grabbed his arm with calloused hands and said that he had seen with his own eyes that the grass came out of the dead man's arm.
At that time, Zhou Taifu was very excited.
First it is a small bud, then it extracts nutrients from the flesh and blood little by little, and finally the adult plant is 20 centimeters tall.
Blood red blood red.
It can be seen from a long distance away.
“That’s human flesh and blood inside,” the veteran stopped smiling, crossed his mud legs wearing straw sandals, and stared into the distance.
There was something in Zhou Taifu's eyes that he couldn't understand.
“Baby,” the veteran didn’t even look at him. His voice was as rough as gravel from smoking dry cigarettes all year round. “Listen to my advice, let’s go, while you can still go, leave here and go wherever you want. That’s fine, never come back.”
"But I only took half of the commission," Zhou Taifu said, as if he couldn't bear to interrupt the veteran's thoughts. He half coaxed and half comforted: "I will stop after I finish this job, go home, get married, and live a stable life." Go."
The veteran seemed to notice his prevarication, and after sighing, he stopped talking.
The rough homemade cigarette was burning between the fingers, and the flame was as bright as blood. After taking a puff, the whole nose was filled with the sweet smell of blood.
The veteran finished smoking a cigarette, patted his butt, and left without saying hello, carrying the Aka 47 rifle that had its handguard broken countless times.
His trousers were so dirty that the color could not be seen. One end of the trousers was rolled up, and the other end was directly dripping under his feet, making a "pattering" sound when he stepped in the muddy water.
Just when Zhou Taifu was about to get up and leave, he accidentally noticed with his peripheral vision that there was a stone under the position where the veteran was sitting cross-legged.
No, he looked carefully, it was not an ordinary stone.
That is a monument.
The monument is also engraved with an inscription in local characters.
After many years of hard work, the inscriptions have been severely weathered.
He was relatively unfamiliar with the local writing, and could only squint and identify each word -
"Those who are stained with blood in their hands will not return."
The third update is over, thank you brothers support! !
