Chapter 245
Zhang Xing stared at the backs of the three people in front of him nervously, leaning forward slightly, tapping the ground with his toes, and following them carefully. He was extremely careful with every step he took, fearing that a sound would alert the other party. His heart beat like a drum, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
In this silent tunnel, the footsteps of the three people echoed in the air. Zhang Xing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He squinted his eyes and tried to adapt to the darkness. With the weak light in front, he carefully avoided the stones and puddles on the ground to avoid making any noise.
As time went by, Zhang Xing walked slower and slower, and the distance between him and the three people in front of him gradually widened. At this moment, the security chief who was walking in front suddenly stopped and looked back. Zhang Xing's heart tightened, and he immediately hid behind a large stone next to him, tightly attached to the stone wall. He stared at the security chief, praying in his heart that he would never be discovered.
The head of the security looked around, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning the surroundings, as if he wanted to find clues from every detail, but he didn't seem to notice anything unusual, so he turned around and continued to walk forward with the other two.
Zhang Xing was so nervous that his heart was in his throat. He tried to keep his breathing steady, for fear of being discovered by the security guards. After they walked over, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He wiped the sweat with his sleeve, and then followed carefully again, his footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhang Xing's heartbeat became faster and faster. Finally, after about 20 minutes, the security guard Lao Quan whispered:
"Boss, we are almost there. The sunken area is in front."
The head of the security nodded, and walked forward while cursing: "This damn place is so damn hard to walk."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound above his head, as if something was about to fall.
Lao Quan's face changed and he shouted: "Be careful!"
A huge stone fell from the top of the cave, raising a cloud of dust, and landed not far in front of the three people.
The three were frightened by this sudden change, especially the security guard Lao Wu. He widened his eyes and gasped and said: "It's so dangerous before we even get in. We don't know what's going on inside."
Although the head of the security was frightened, he gritted his teeth in order to find the reporter and told everyone to continue moving towards the sunken area.
Zhang Xing followed closely behind, becoming increasingly nervous, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
A few minutes later, the group finally arrived at the sunken area, and the scene here made everyone gasp.
The cave roof was covered with huge cracks, as if it had been split open by a giant with a giant axe, and the uneven rocks were in danger of falling at any time. There were mountains of stones piled up on the ground, some of which were even more than a person tall, and they were distributed in a disorderly manner, leaving people with almost no place to step.
The traces of the previous collapse were everywhere, with huge rocks lying in all directions, and some were stacked on top of each other, forming dangerous "stone pile traps".
The rocks on the cave walls were also crumbling, and some sharp stones protruded, as if they were the claws of a demon. The air was filled with heavy dust, making it difficult to breathe. Every time you took a breath, you could feel the dust choking your nose and throat.
The weak light almost completely disappeared here, and only the searchlights in the hands of the security guards could illuminate a small area, making the surrounding darkness deeper and more terrifying.
There were still some broken wood and rusty tools on the ground, which were left by the workers who had repaired this place. In some places, there was still muddy water that had not dried up, mixed with stones and dust, forming a muddy "swamp". Deep in the cave, a low "boom" sound came from time to time, as if the earth was groaning in pain, and it seemed to warn intruders not to get close.
The head of the security guard looked at the chaos in front of him, his face became more gloomy, and he muttered: "What a ghost place"
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed. Lao Quan and Lao Wu on the side were full of horror, their eyes were full of fear, as if they had seen something terrible.
The two people's steps became hesitant, as if they wanted to escape from this weird place. However, just as they were hesitating, a sharp and piercing scream suddenly came from the dark direction on the left.
This scream was so terrifying that everyone was frightened by the sudden sound. Their nerves immediately tensed up, their heartbeats accelerated, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Later, they saw a figure stumbling in the darkness.Bumping and stumbling, he ran towards this side. A closer look revealed that it was a man in the same security uniform! His face was pale and he looked terrified, as if he had been greatly frightened.
Seeing this, the three security guards couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly used the searchlight in their hands to try to see the appearance of the person coming. When the light shone on the man, they breathed a sigh of relief, as if this person was one of their own, a member of the three-person team led by the third brother.
However, at this moment, the security guard looked a little embarrassed. His head was bald, without a single strand of hair, and he looked like a bald man.
The state of this bald man at this time was even more shocking and worrying. His eyes were wide open, his eyes were full of fear, his mouth was wide open, and he kept screaming.
He was running and waving his arms, as if he was running away from something terrible. His voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the silent night, making people feel cold.
"There's a ghost... Help me..."
The bald man yelled frantically, his voice full of despair and fear. He seemed to have lost his mind and was completely controlled by fear.
Everyone was nervous and breathing rapidly.
The head of the security guard stood there pretending to be calm, with a serious expression on his face, but in fact, he was already filled with fear.
He clenched his fists and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Then, he cursed the bald man in a low and stern voice:
"You idiot! How dare you talk nonsense here! Where do ghosts come from in this world? They are all made up by you cowards to scare people!"
After the curse, the bald man calmed down a little and dared not cry anymore. Then the security chief frowned and asked the bald man seriously:
"Where did the third brother and another security guard go? Didn't they go to the east to look for them? Why did they appear in the sunken area?"
The bald man gasped heavily, his chest heaving violently, and stammered:
"Boss, we... We just walked to the east, and the surroundings were terribly quiet, with only the sound of our footsteps and breathing. At this moment, we suddenly heard a strange sound, which sounded like someone crying miserably, or someone laughing crazily. The sound was high and low, intermittent, and had a strange echo, which made us shudder.
The three of us were so scared that we trembled all over and our legs went weak. The third brother was still calm and said to go back quickly. But as soon as we turned around, we felt a chilly wind blowing from behind, as if something was chasing us. We ran desperately, and the road under our feet became rugged and bumpy. We ran out of breath, but found that we could not find the way back. The surrounding environment seemed to have become exactly the same, and we could not tell the east, south, west and north at all.
I don’t know how long we ran, but we came to a strange place, which seemed to be a sunken area. Suddenly, I heard Lao San and Xiao Wang seemed to shout one after another. The shouts were short and shrill, as if they were covered by something. I looked back and saw that they both fell to the ground.
I was very scared at the time, my mind was blank, and I didn’t care about anything. I just ran desperately, using all my strength, and didn’t dare to look back. Even if I tripped over a stone and fell to bleed on my knees, I didn’t dare to stop for a moment, and finally escaped. "
After listening to the description, Lao Wu was frightened and his face turned pale, and his lips trembled as he said: "This... This can’t be true There are monsters, right? Or ghosts that eat people? Let's not risk our lives!"
After hearing what Lao Wu said, the head of the security immediately opened his eyes and shouted:
"You have read too many online novels, nonsense! Where in the world are there any monsters and ghosts! Why are you so cowardly! Be brave!"
After that, the head of the security turned to look at the bald man who was still trembling, and ordered in a firm tone: "You, lead the way! Let's go find Lao San and Xiao Wang."
When the bald man heard this, his face showed an extremely frightened and reluctant expression, and he said in a trembling voice: "Boss, I... I really don't dare to go there again, it's too scary."
The head of the security grabbed the bald man's collar and roared: "Stop talking nonsense! If you don't lead the way, don't think about working here in the future!"
In desperation, the bald man had to suppress his inner fear and lead the way in front.
Everyone followed closely behind, shaking the searchlights in their hands to illuminate the gloomy road ahead.
Water dripped continuously from the stone walls of the tunnel, making a ticking sound that was particularly clear in this silent underground tunnel.Occasionally, there was a subtle sound of cracking rocks, as if the entire tunnel was under great pressure. The bald man's footsteps became heavier, and every step seemed extremely difficult.
After walking forward for about ten minutes, the bald man suddenly stopped, and his body trembled even more.
"Why don't you move on?"
The security chief saw the bald man suddenly stop, and was a little confused. He immediately patted his shoulder and asked.
The bald man's face was terrified, his body trembled slightly, and his finger trembled as he pointed to the edge of a fork in the road ahead, and said in a trembling voice:
"What the hell!"
The bald man's sudden words startled Lao Wu and Lao Quan on the side. They involuntarily took a step back, and even the usually calm security chief couldn't help but twitch his face at this time.
However, the head of security quickly regained his composure. He angrily slapped the bald man's forehead and shouted:
"Don't talk nonsense! I have told you so many times that there are no ghosts in this world!"
The bald man said tremblingly:
"Boss, I am not talking nonsense! I really saw a ghost. I remember very clearly that Lao San and Xiao Wang were swept down by a strange force here. At that time, they were lying next to this stone."
Lao Wu and Lao Quan held the searchlights tightly in their hands. The lights flickered in the darkness. Their hands trembled slightly, and their eyes revealed deep fear.
The two kept shining back and forth around, trying to find a sense of security, but apart from the endless darkness and the looming strange sound, they found nothing. Lao Wu kept muttering to himself: "What should I do, what should I do!"
The head of security stood aside, with veins on his forehead bulging and his face terribly gloomy.
He widened his eyes and shouted:
"Don't panic! There is no strange power. It must be that reporter who is causing trouble!"
However, although he said this, he was full of anxiety and fear in his heart. As he spoke, he paced back and forth anxiously, and the flashlight in his hand also shook, making the light around him more unstable.
At this moment, the sound of water dripping in the tunnel seemed to become clearer, "tick-tick-tick", each sound seemed to hit everyone's heart directly, making their heartbeats accelerate.
The rocks on the top of the cave also made a "creaking" sound from time to time, as if they would fall down at any time, giving people a shaky feeling.
Lao Wu's voice was obviously trembling. He looked at the head of security and said cautiously: "Boss, why don't we retreat? This place is too weird! I always feel like something is watching us..."
The head of security glared at him and shouted: "Retreat? How can we report to the mission if we don't catch the reporter! Stay calm!"
Just then, a cold wind suddenly blew from the darkness, making everyone shiver. Lao Wu was so scared that he almost threw away the flashlight in his hand, and stammered: "This... This wind is too weird!"
The bald man cried and shouted: "Boss, we really can't go forward, we will die!"
The head of the security shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Go!"
Lao Wu trembled and said: "Then... What if there is a monster?"
The head of the security gritted his teeth and said: "I say it again, there can't be ghosts in this world. Don't scare yourself. Hurry up and find that damn reporter. Find him as soon as possible and leave this ghost place as soon as possible."
Although several younger brothers were obviously a little scared, they didn't dare to disobey the words of the head of the security, so they followed behind the head of the security and continued to move forward carefully.
Zhang Xing, who followed behind them, continued to follow secretly. Zhang Xing also heard all their conversations, but Zhang Xing didn't believe that there were any ghosts in the cave. Zhang Xing was more inclined to believe that all this was man-made.
Including the mysterious disappearance of security guard Lao San and security guard Xiao Wang, it should all be man-made. I just don’t know whether this man-made thing is consistent with the “man-made” I guess.
