Chapter 38 Weird Howling (please support!)
Without spending too much time here, after carefully closing the door of the power station, the three of them followed the map in their hands and began to explore the place bit by bit. A secret fortress.
Not long after, they found a passage that was still dark.
"What's going on?" Wang Kaixuan took a flashlight and looked inside, and asked doubtfully.
Hu Bayi looked up and guessed: "There may be something wrong with the wiring here, so the lights inside are not on."
"Let's go, let's get rid of all the ghosts and monsters, and get rid of the deep-rooted darkness in front of us!" When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he wanted to go in and take a look.
It's bright all the way along, but this passage has not changed at the moment, so we have to go in and investigate.
Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi had no objections. Since they had decided to completely clear out the underground fortress, there was no reason to let the passage in front of them go.
Immediately, Wang Kaixuan walked in front with a knife and a gun, Chen Ziyan was in the middle to provide support, and Hu Bayi was responsible for the rear. The three of them walked into the passage one by one.
This is a sloping upward passage, which turns into upward steps after walking a hundred meters.
As they stepped onto the steps, the passage became narrower and narrower. When they reached the back, even Chen Ziyan, who was following Wang Kaixuan, could no longer see clearly the situation in front, and his sight was strictly blocked by Wang Kaixuan.
After walking for a while, Wang Kaixuan, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped, and then whispered to the two people behind him: "Don't move!"
Chen Ziyan had already guessed what was going on. In such a situation, he will naturally not move at this time.
Hu Bayi was a little curious and asked in a low voice: "Little Fatty, what did you see?"
Wang Kaixuan was worried that it would disturb the bats inside, so he did not respond immediately. He didn't say until he returned to the steps:
"There are all big bats in there, densely hung all over."
"Big bats?" Hu Bayi frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the two of them: "You guys wait here first, I'll Go and see what’s going on!”
Then he took out the flashlight and walked up the steps again, wanting to see with his own eyes what was going on.
“Wait a minute, Lao Hu!” But before he could take two steps, Chen Ziyan followed with Wang Kaixuan.
Chen Ziyan knew that the soul of the boy who was buried with him would appear here, so how could he trust Hu Bayi to act alone.
In fact, Chen Ziyan should have stopped Hu Bayi, but thinking of the suffering children buried with him, he never said the words that came to his lips.
Now that we are here, we should find a way to clean out those pig-faced bats and take the buried children out of the secret room for burial.
"That's okay, let's all be alert." Hu Bayi didn't refuse, just reminded him and moved on.
We returned to the end of the steps, but this time it was Hu Bayi who took the lead.
In order to avoid disturbing the bats inside, Hu Bayi deliberately found a roll of gauze and covered it in front of the flashlight to reduce the brightness of the light.
After doing this, he tiptoed and looked inside.
When Hu Bayi saw the scene in front of him clearly with the help of weak light, he felt his scalp numb, thinking that no wonder the fat man was so scared that he retreated.
What we see in front of us is a semi-natural and semi-artificial stone chamber. Although the specific scale cannot be seen due to the light, but based on the visual range, we can know that the area of the stone chamber must be quite large. .
On the moss-covered stone walls and cave ceiling, there are countless giant bats hanging upside down.
The size of this bat is much larger than what is usually seen, and its cheeks are very strange. Under the straight, diamond-shaped ears, there is a round head and nose, which looks like a pig's head.
The moment he saw the whole bat, Hu Bayi recognized him. He had seen such a bat before when he was working on projects in Kunlun Mountain.
The scientific name of this kind of bat is the bright-toothed bat, also known as the big pig-faced bat. It is bloodthirsty and carnivorous by nature. It is a rare and vicious species among bats.
On weekdays, they live in dark caves under the grassland, and at night they hunt cattle, sheep and other livestock. It was once a disaster in Outer Mongolia, but it has become rare in recent years. He thought it was extinct, but he didn't expect to encounter it here.
The moment he figured out the origin of these bats, Hu Bayi’s first thought was to leave. There must be nearly a thousand big pig-faced bats in this place. If they were awakened, it would be dangerous. It's troublesome.
Even if you want to eradicate these guys, you have to do it slowly.
“Ah——”
But before Hu Bayi could make any move, a sharp child’s howl resounded throughout the stone room.
The moment the howl sounded, the big pig-faced bats hanging upside down in the stone chamber all opened their bloodthirsty eyes and exposed their mouths full of fangs towards him.
“Damn!”
Hu Bayi cursed secretly when he saw this, and no longer lowered his tone, he quickly shouted behind him: "Get out of here!"
At this moment, some impatient pig-faced bats had already Unable to hold on any longer, he swooped towards him first.
Seeing that the big pig-faced bat was about to pounce, Hu Ba pulled the trigger without thinking.
Da da da da—
The hot and rapid rain of bullets instantly swept the pig-faced bats into pieces.
Taking advantage of this gap, the three of them quickly retreated towards the bottom of the steps.
After they gave way to the exit of the stone chamber, the big pig-faced bats, which had become completely agitated by the sound of gunshots, actually swarmed towards the exit of the stone chamber.
"Fat man, Mr. Chen, you retreat first, I will cover you!" Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi quickly shot back to stop him.
"Old Hu, quickly retreat to the steps. Let's close the door and beat the dogs!"
Chen Ziyan looked at the densely packed group of bats, and in the blink of an eye he had an idea, and hurriedly shouted to Hu Bayi who was lagging behind.
If so many pig-faced bats entered a complex underground fortress, it would be even more difficult to deal with them.
So they have to intercept them here to avoid having to worry about it later.
It just so happened that they were in a suitable location at this time, which not only ensured that the three of them had sufficient range of activities, but also suppressed the number of pig-faced bats pouring out.
Although Chen Ziyan did not say it clearly, Hu Bayi understood what he meant immediately. He immediately made a tactical roll out of the range of the steps, and then shouted to Wang Kaixuan: "Little Fatty, cross fire!"
“Okay!”
Wang Kaixuan, who was originally afraid of accidentally injuring Hu Bayi, pulled the trigger of the submachine gun in his hand after seeing Hu Bayi get out of the way, and formed a crossfire net with Hu Bayi.
Chen Ziyan did not have a firearm in his hand, but he did not watch the show from the side. Instead, he took out his long stick and stood between the two to provide support.
Kill the scattered pig-faced bats that luckily broke through the fire net, while covering the two men to change their magazines.
Click, click, click—
For a moment, the gun flames continued, and the bullets flashed, illuminating the dark passage.
The sound of gunfire, the sound of shells being ejected, the sound of bullet shells falling to the ground, and the sound of long sticks breaking through the air were all mixed together, creating a strange movement full of gunpowder smoke.
