Chapter 435: The Infected's Lair
As soon as the door opened and closed, a figure flashed in.
Wearing a gray cloak, with his headband and body covered in it, he was so sneaky that his suspicions were written on the cloak.
Old Sven or young Jack? No, neither, the shape is wrong.
Lin Qi was just thinking when he saw the cloaked man looking around to make sure there was no one in the room, then took off the hood of the cloak.
I don’t know him, but I think I’ve seen him somewhere.
Fuck, no, it’s him.
"It's Jackson, the city lord." With the cover of the phantom voice, Lynch was not worried about each other's voices being exposed, "He should have come to see his son. It seems that we found the right one. Little Jack and Old "We are together with Swain."
The city owner's face was full of tension and anticipation. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm down his rapid breathing, and walked quickly through the hallway without looking at the second floor and basement. He climbed up the stairs, walked into the living room, walked straight to the fireplace, reached in and pulled out the things inside, and then twisted the candlestick on the wall.
With a creaking sound, the bottom of the fireplace slowly moved sideways, revealing a downward staircase.
"Hey, this is a regular customer. I can't even be so skilled with the drawings." Lynch curled his lips, "But I don't have to worry about how to open the door without being discovered. I'm in, wait for me when I come back. "
"Stop talking nonsense and be careful."
Natalie is still such a rude bitch, but I like it.
Lynch grinned, and quietly landed behind Jackson with a pistol and a cane.
The tunnel was dark, but there was a faint light at the end. The city lord walked down holding the candlestick. He didn't forget to look back before going downstairs. Then he pulled the ring on the wall to close the entrance to the secret passage, and then All the way down, I was not afraid at all because of the dark environment.
Circling down the spiral staircase, Lynch estimated that he had descended at least twenty or thirty meters before finally reaching the bottom. However, before he even stepped onto the ground, a strange low roar came from deep underground.
As the city lord approached, countless low roars sounded at the same time. They fell together one after another. They were crazy, chaotic, and irrational. The roar was like a beast that chooses people to eat and sees the long-lost flesh and blood, almost materializing. The bloodthirsty aura is enough to make people tremble with fear.
Lin Qi's breathing was a little messy, but the city lord acted as if nothing had happened. He just paused, mumbled a few words in an incomprehensible language, and continued walking as usual.
Behind him, Lynch whispered to the conch: "Can you understand what he said?"
Judy's voice came from the conch: "Is it worth it?"
"Huh?"
"He said it."
"Understood."
Lin Qi nodded and followed.
The place below is more like an underground lair than a basement. This environment looked a bit familiar to Lynch. When he thought about it carefully, it was very similar to the pile of photos taken by the female reporter Maya when she went to interview the mountain people, except that one was a solid cave and the other was a rough underground cave.
The underground tunnel is as tall as one person and twists and turns. Oil lamps are like beans in the grooves of the wall. The weak light makes the tunnel dark. Whenever there is a roar from the depths, the air current makes the flames sway. The light of hope seemed to be extinguished at any time. Follow the footsteps of the city lord and go all the way deep along the tunnel. There are several caves on both sides. It was pitch dark inside, and it was difficult to see clearly. Only bursts of putrid smell came from the darkness.
Lin Qi frowned and tried hard to focus his sight, trying to see clearly. However, just when he was most focused, a large red dot suddenly lit up in the cave, and then a deafening roar erupted.
I eat lemon, can you guys give you some omen?
Lin Qi was suddenly attacked when he was most focused. His heart almost exploded and his hair stood on end. However, although the roar was terrifying, what really made Lin Qi nervous were those red dots that suddenly appeared. It was obviously the glimmer of light reflected from the blood-red eyes of the infected.
The red dot disappeared in a flash, and a rough estimate showed that there were at least a dozen infected people inside.
There are more than expected. Are these the infected who know how to escape?
However, just as Lin Qi was thinking about it, he followed the city lord to the second cave. Looking at the same dark cave, Lin Qi suddenly had an ominous premonition and quickly prepared himself mentally. At the same time, the previous experience reappeared again, and there was another roar of the infected.
Why else?
Lin Qi's heart tightened, and he realized that Old Swain had quietly transformed a large number of infected people in one day. The infected people in these two caves alone were enough to kill people in the city. It will cause a lot of trouble, if there is more...
Looking at the tunnel in front of him who didn't know how deep it was, Lin Qi swallowed and felt scared for a while. Fortunately, he didn't rush in, otherwise In such a small space, these infected people who are not afraid of death are a troublesome thing, not to mention that the two most important targets have not yet appeared.
The situation is a little better than expected. Only the first four caves are full of infected people, about fifty in number. Lin Qi was quite lucky. Fortunately, the spread of the infection was contained. These should have been transformed one by one with food. Otherwise, God knows how many infected people would be hiding here. It would not be necessary to release them into the city outside. The plague sky is enough to destroy the city in half a day.
I just don’t know where these people got in. Lynch guessed that there was another underground exit. Otherwise, if dozens of people came in from Dr. Swain’s house, it would be a big joke.
While thinking about it, he heard the city lord in front sigh softly. Lin Qi noticed that it suddenly became brighter not far away, and the light came out from a cave.
The city lord immediately quickened his pace. Before he could reach the entrance of the cave, he heard a hoarse voice with dissatisfaction in his tone. The city lord became even more impatient and responded while trotting into the cave.
Lin Qi did not dare to follow in too arrogantly. He just lay down at the entrance of the cave and carefully peeked inside. There was only one person inside, not the imaginary ghoul, but an old man in human form. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Dr. Swain. He should be the human form of her father, old Swain.
This place is also very similar to the mountain caves photographed by the Maya. There are many strange red graphics painted on the walls, which look like words and murals. There are many thin lines hanging from the top, and strange bones and wooden objects are hung on them. There were people, bottles and cans scattered on the ground, and a pungent and unpleasant smell drifted throughout the cave.
"Can you hear me clearly?" Lynch lowered his voice unconsciously and asked, "What are they talking about."
"The city lord is accusing Sven of making such a big fuss. Isn't it the agreement that those who have Is it enough if the flour in question spreads out? I don’t know how many citizens will die now,” Judy briefly recounted, “But he didn’t really care. Then he asked when Jack would be truly resurrected, and they said…”
“You said he could be resurrected, and I believed you. You said he must be buried and let the crops suck the dirt out of his body. I believed you, and you said those people must be used for experiments to ensure Jack’s resurrection. , I believe you too, we are old friends, I never doubt you, no matter what the cost, I just want my Jack back.”
"Has he come back now?"
"That's not my Jack at all. He doesn't look like a living person at all, and he can't remember anything and can't even speak."
"Really? Why do you think I brought you here today?"
Old Sven showed a strange smile, and then Lynch felt his scalp numb. He saw a strange body that could only be regarded as humanoid, slowly walking out of the darkness opposite the cave entrance.
