Chapter 398 From this moment on, the role of cannon fodder will begin to change
The night is like a huge black curtain,
The entire construction site is tightly covered,
The lights around the construction site flickered with all their strength,
Trying to dispel this endless darkness, it still seems a little powerless.
In this seemingly ordinary but mysterious open space,
Suddenly, a heart-rending scream sounded like a sharp dagger,
Pierced the silence of the night,
The voice is long and shrill,
It seemed as if some evil force was tightly strangling my throat, struggling painfully,
It kept swirling and reverberating in the air, making every hair on one's body stand up unconsciously.
Zheng Bolan and Zheng Xuezhen, who were originally as nervous as frightened birds,
At this moment, he was even more frightened by the sudden scream, as if he was instantly hit by an electric current.
Their faces instantly turned as pale as paper, bloodless,
His body shivered violently involuntarily, as if he was trapped in a freezing cold ice cellar.
Almost at the same moment,
The two people's eyes quickly moved in the direction of the sound like frightened deer,
His eyes were full of fear and vigilance,
It was as if there was an extremely ferocious beast hidden in that dark corner, one that chose to devour anyone.
Zheng Qifeng and Xiang Xiufang were also frightened by the screams, and their expressions changed.
The originally calm face was now distorted into something ferocious.
There was a flash of panic in their eyes,
But years of life experience still allowed them to calm down quickly after a brief panic.
Zheng Qifeng glanced around the surroundings with sharp eyes,
Then he brought several burly workers who looked quite strong,
They strode towards the source of the sound, their footsteps quick and panicked,
Every step carries a hint of nervousness and uneasiness.
Chu He and Xia Chengli followed leisurely,
Chu He's expression was as calm as water, and his deep eyes revealed a kind of calmness and composure. All the changes in the world could hardly make waves in his heart.
Xia Chengli has a light figure and elegant steps,
There is a touch of confidence and calmness in his eyes, and he is already confident about the unknown situation he is about to face.
Zheng Bolan and Zheng Xuezhen were like two frightened little quails,
Following Chu He and Xia Chengli closely, not daring to leave even a step,
They are the only safe haven in this dark world.
Zheng Bolan and Zheng Xuezhen’s eyes are like searchlights,
He kept looking around, his eyes full of suspicion,
Every slight movement and every shadow swaying can make their heartbeats accelerate instantly,
They were afraid that something terrible would suddenly jump out of the darkness in the next second and ruthlessly take away their lives.
Everyone trotted all the way, and in a moment they arrived at the place where the screams came from.
I saw only one person wearing a yellow safety helmet,
A middle-aged man wearing reflective overalls is lying on the cold, hard ground,
His body was twitching violently uncontrollably, being manipulated wantonly by an invisible force.
A steady stream of miserable screams came from his mouth,
The sound seemed like the wail of an evil spirit coming from the depths of hell, making people's scalp numb and chills in their hearts.
His eyes were red and unfocused, staring at the sky,
It was like seeing something unimaginable and terrifying in the endless darkness,
His eyes were full of fear and despair,
The soul was deeply gripped by the terrible sight.
His hands and feet seemed to be controlled by evil ghosts,
It kept moving wildly with its teeth and claws, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying, making people shudder.
A group of workers gathered around, with frightened looks on their faces,
Unconsciously took a few steps back,
He kept a safe distance from the twitching man, as if the man was carrying some kind of deadly plague.
Some nearby work vehicles also stopped,
The originally noisy construction site became extremely quiet at this moment,
It was so quiet that only the man's miserable scream could be heard echoing in the air,
The whole world was frozen by this sudden horrific incident.
"Hou Yugui, what's going on?"
Zheng Qifeng stepped forward cautiously,
I wanted to get closer to check on the man, but I was a little hesitant,
In the end, I still didn’t dare to touch the man directly with my hands,
He just stood aside and asked loudly, with tension and uneasiness in his voice.
"We really don't know!"
A worker quickly replied, his voice trembling so much that he was about to cry in the next second: "We were working hard in this area just now, and everyone was doing a good job.
But I don’t know what happened, Hou Yugui suddenly stopped what he was doing,
He looked panicked and said there was something, someone was watching him,
Then he shouted in horror that it was a ghost.
We all thought he was joking at first, so we didn’t take it seriously and continued to do our work.
But he became more and more anxious and kept running back and forth around us,
He keeps saying that there is a ghost, but there really is a ghost.
Then, he suddenly fell to the ground on his back, and then became like this. ”
"Isn't it because of epilepsy?"
A staff member responsible for supervising the work on site walked over with a frown,
Looking at the twitching man on the ground, he said with worry.
Zheng Qifeng's brows knit together tightly, as if he could pinch a fly to death,
His eyes revealed deep worry and uneasiness.
He couldn't help but think of what his son had just said,
Encountering a strange incident involving a group of women wearing ancient clothes, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart,
It was as if a pair of cold hands were holding his heart tightly.
This series of weird events,
Let this man, who has been struggling in society for decades and has always carried the entire family on his shoulders,
I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear,
Trapped in a bottomless whirlpool of darkness, unable to extricate himself.
"Mr. Chu, can you tell me anything?"
Zheng Qifeng turned his head and looked at Chuhe with expectation and help,
His eyes were full of desire for answers.
Faced with this series of strange things, he subconsciously placed all his hopes on Chuhe.
Chuhe is their only life-saving straw in this darkness, the messenger of light who can dispel this endless fear.
The night is like ink, shrouding the construction site deeply,
The lights around the construction site flickered in the night wind, like a group of tired night watchmen,
Resisting the erosion of darkness with difficulty.
There is an oppressive and gloomy atmosphere in the air, which makes people feel a chill unconsciously.
Chuhe stood there quietly, tall and slender, like a pine tree standing proudly.
His face was stern, his eyes deep and focused.
Suddenly, he raised his right hand slightly. The hand was white and slender, with clear joints.
Like a beautiful piece of art.
His fingers were gently bent, his movements were graceful and calm, as if he were playing a silent piece of music.
Then, he flicked it lightly, and a ray of light suddenly bloomed from his fingertips,
The light is weak but mysterious,
Like a fleeting meteor in the night sky,
With an otherworldly atmosphere,
In an instant, he got into the body of the middle-aged man Hou Yugui who was twitching violently on the ground.
Hou Yugui originally seemed to be possessed by a demon,
The body was shaking violently uncontrollably, and the limbs were waving randomly,
In a desperate struggle with an invisible force.
However, the moment that ray of light entered his body,
His movements seemed to be gently comforted by a pair of gentle and strong hands,
Gradually it calmed down.
My eyes slowly opened, with a hint of chaos and confusion at first,
Like a traveler lost in the fog, unable to find his direction.
But gradually, his dilated pupils began to gather again,
There is a mysterious force pulling them in the darkness,
Get them back on track.
His eyes have become much clearer,
It is no longer the empty and lifeless appearance before, but has been injected with new vitality and vitality.
Hou Yugui's consciousness seemed to be slowly climbing up from the endless dark abyss, and he gradually regained consciousness.
He looked at the familiar or unfamiliar faces surrounding him,
There was a look of surprise and confusion on his face, and he subconsciously asked: "I...what happened to me just now?"
His voice was a little weak and hoarse, as if he had just experienced a life and death catastrophe.
There are still some vague memory fragments remaining in my mind,
Those fragments are like broken lenses, shining with frightening light,
But it was impossible to piece together a complete picture of the incident.
His expression was full of confusion and confusion,
I just woke up from a bizarre and terrifying nightmare,
But the scene in the dream felt extremely strange, leaving only fear and doubt in my heart.
Zheng Qifeng saw Hou Yugui regaining consciousness,
A feeling of joy suddenly surged in my heart.
In this foreign land,
Every foreigner from the Great Xia Empire is like a lonely boat drifting in the vast sea,
There will always be a special emotional bond connecting them.
Zheng Qifeng knew very well that he had the responsibility to take care of these fellow villagers,
He never wanted Hou Yugui to make any mistakes on the construction site he was responsible for.
This is not only because he has to bear the corresponding responsibilities, but more importantly, he really can't bear to face the expectant and worried eyes of Hou Yugui's family.
If something unfortunate does happen,
He would be shameless, and that would be a guilt that could never be erased from his heart.
"Hou Yugui, think about it carefully, what happened just now?
Why do you keep saying there is a ghost? ”
The staff member responsible for supervision stepped forward and looked at Hou Yugui with concern,
There was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in his tone.
His words are like a gentle hand,
Trying to clear away the confusing fog in Hou Yugui's mind,
Ask him to recall more details in order to solve this sudden mystery.
At the same time, his words seemed to remind Hou Yugui,
Instead of being completely consumed by fear, try to retrieve those forgotten memories.
When the surrounding workers saw Chu He, they just flicked their fingers,
It's like magic,
Let Hou Yugui wake up from the terrible state just now,
They all couldn't help but cast a look of surprise and awe at Chu He.
Their eyes were full of curiosity and doubt, and they secretly speculated,
Who is this seemingly young man?
Could it be that he is a hidden stranger?
Possess extraordinary abilities?
Or is there really some unknown secret hidden in this construction site?
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
So much so that Zheng Qifeng had noticed it a long time ago and specially invited people like Chu He to take charge.
To deal with possible dangers?
All kinds of speculations spread in the hearts of the workers like weeds,
It grows wantonly in this depressing atmosphere, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.
Hou Yugui's body trembled slightly,
The look of fear on his face became more and more intense,
He seemed to be trying to recall the horrific scene just now. After a while,
He said with a trembling voice: "I remembered, I saw a ghost!
At that time, I was cleaning up the place,
The shovel in his hand was digging the soil bit by bit, and every move was like knocking on the door of hell.
Suddenly, I dug up something. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a human face!
That face suddenly appeared in front of me, pale and distorted,
There was a weird smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, and he kept smiling at me,
I laughed so hard that my heart went crazy.
I was so frightened that I almost lost my mind and thought it was my eyes that were hallucinating.
So I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully again,
The face miraculously disappeared,
It's like it never happened.
However, when I just raised my head, that face appeared in front of me again,
This time he was even closer, the distance between my face and his was less than two centimeters,
I can clearly feel the cold breath he exhaled,
The cold air will freeze my soul.
Before I could scream, the face bumped straight into me,
And then...I don't know anything about what happened next. ”
Hou Yugui's eyes were full of fear,
The horrific scene seemed to appear before his eyes again,
It made him unable to extricate himself, and his body trembled unconsciously because of fear, as if he had returned to that moment again.
"What is going on here? Is the construction site here really haunted?"
A young worker couldn't help but said loudly, with a hint of trembling and panic in his voice,
His eyes were full of fear, and he kept looking around, worried that the ghost was around him.
"No wonder when I was working on this construction site, even though it was a hot summer day, I always felt chilly.
I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, something is really wrong. ”
Another middle-aged worker also echoed, with a look of fear on his face,
He rubbed his arms unconsciously with his hands, trying to dispel the inexplicable chill.
"Boss Zheng, you have to give us an explanation for this matter.
Similar problems have occurred at the construction site in my hometown before,
Every time at night I would hear someone crying, and many people died on the construction site.
The boss of that construction site hired a master to do it,
Only then did the matter finally get resolved.
You can't joke with our lives! ”
An older worker stepped forward and said to Zheng Qifeng seriously,
There was a hint of indubitability in his words,
He obviously takes this matter very seriously and is worried that his safety and that of his co-workers will be threatened.
There was a hint of anxiety and anger in his eyes,
Staring at Zheng Qifeng closely, waiting for a reasonable explanation and solution from him.
In the construction site shrouded in darkness, the lights flickered, reflecting a group of workers with different expressions.
They all come from the Daxia Empire, originally with hopes and longings for life,
Leaving home and coming to this strange land to sweat,
I hope to earn a stable life for my family.
However, at this moment, fear is like invisible threads,
It tightly wrapped around each of them, making their faces full of tension and uneasiness.
Many people's eyes have shown their determination to escape from this "ghost place",
Some people have even begun to secretly think about how to resign as soon as possible and stay away from this terrible place of right and wrong.
Zheng Qifeng stood aside, frowning,
His eyes revealed deep helplessness and anxiety.
His eyes swept over the workers' faces one by one, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
These are all brothers from the same hometown who came out to work hard with him,
Now we are in such a panic situation,
But he was clueless for a moment and didn't know what to do.
In this turbulent era when evil spirits invade,
The entire Blue Star has fallen into endless fear and despair,
Countless lives have disappeared under the ravages of evil spirits, like candles in the wind, fragile and helpless.
Under the attack of these successive disasters, people's once firm belief in science has gradually collapsed.
Now, in the face of this sudden and strange incident, just relying on a few feeble words to comfort,
How can we calm down the turmoil in everyone's hearts?
"Mr. Chu, what do you think we should do?"
Zheng Qi looked at Chu He with a sad face, his voice trembling with helplessness.
He knew that the situation at this moment had reached a critical moment,
A little carelessness may lead to greater chaos.
Chuhe stood there quietly, hearing Zheng Qifeng's inquiry,
He raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Let the construction site stop temporarily,
Then report what happened here truthfully to the person you are interacting with,
I think you should understand what I mean.
Let them come and take a look for themselves and see what this is all about. ”
"The energy of this construction site has been extremely chaotic, and it is becoming more and more manic and restless,
It's like a beast about to break free from its cage, and may burst out with astonishing destructive power at any time. ”
Chu He's brows wrinkled slightly, and there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes: "According to my estimation, your development of this land should have gradually touched some key things, and you are getting closer and closer to the truth."< br>
Chu He recalled in his mind the land development plan he had seen before,
There seems to be a detailed and perfect plan,
Now it seems that there is an atmosphere of weirdness and conspiracy everywhere.
There are various exquisite design drawings drawn on the plan, including buildings that retain the unique Tokyo style.
There are also modern buildings as tall as the Lighthouse Empire,
As if to subtly combine the cultural customs of the White and Red Empire with the modern grand style of the Lighthouse Empire,
Create a unique urban model.
However, Chu He knew very well that behind this seemingly grand blueprint, there was actually a huge conspiracy hidden.
The White and Red Empire did not really want to build this land into a prosperous modern city,
Instead, they used Zheng Bolan and others to let them, in this seemingly ordinary land development process,
Keep digging, trying to find out what the White and Red Empire really wants.
And these innocent workers are nothing more than cannon fodder in their hands that they can discard at will.
"I understand what Mr. Chu means."
Zheng Qifeng nodded slightly, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
He turned around, faced all the workers, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, let's go rest first,
Wages are paid as usual.
When things here are settled, I will notify everyone as soon as possible to come back and continue working. ”
Zheng Qifeng's firm and powerful voice echoed on the chaotic construction site, giving the workers reassurance.
“Boss Zheng is awesome!”
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd,
Many workers showed joy on their faces.
In this difficult moment, Zheng Qifeng's decision undoubtedly made them feel a bit of warmth and comfort.
This is also the reason why they have been willing to work with Zheng Qifeng wholeheartedly over the years.
They know very well that Zheng Qifeng is a person who values love and justice,
Even if something unexpected happens like today and we are unable to work normally,
He will never do anything to exploit workers,
Instead, we will stick to our promise and distribute the wages we originally deserved to everyone.
Zheng Qifeng silently took out his mobile phone and slid his fingers on the screen,
Found a number from the dense contact book.
He took a deep breath, as if to give himself courage,
Then the dial button was pressed.
He knew clearly in his heart that since there were already problems at this construction site,
And the White and Red Empire tried to use them as cannon fodder to test unknown dangers,
Then he can't sit still and wait for death.
He wants to do the opposite and take advantage of the fact that construction on the construction site cannot continue.
Put pressure on the White and Red Empire, forcing them to send people over to solve the problem.
From this moment on, the role of cannon fodder will begin to change,
And this invisible war has just begun.
