Chapter 158 Weird branch task (3) (23)
Yan Junze kept his eyes wide open, and moved the flashlight forward to make sure that he could see clearly whether the shadow lying in front of him was a person, and not a hallucination that appeared after crawling in the dark hole.
Under the light of the flashlight, he could see clearly that there was indeed a man in front of him.
This person seemed to be very thin, his clothes were a little torn, his head was facing his direction, and he lay there without moving.
The flashlight took advantage of the opportunity to illuminate the surroundings of the tunnel, and Yan Junze found that a passage branched out between the strange man and himself, and he didn't know where it led.
And behind the man lying on his stomach, there seemed to be a small stagnant pool with no way out, and there was a faint stench coming from it.
Looking at it like this, it is impossible for this man to be alive.
In the deadly silent tunnel, in the narrow space, there was a corpse that seemed to have decomposed in front of him, and Yan Junze suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He lay down on the spot and waited quietly for about a minute. After feeling nothing abnormal, he started to crawl forward again, preparing to turn into the passage at the fork.
This time he didn't dare to crawl fast, because it would make a lot of noise, and the lying corpse not far away didn't know what was weird for the time being, so he had to be careful.
After Yan Junze crawled forward a few steps, there was a sudden movement in front of him.
"Ah... ah... ah..."
There was a strange sound made by a slight trembling of the throat.
Yan Junze hurriedly shone the flashlight forward, and saw that the corpse that had been lying quietly just now started to move.
The corpse slowly propped its elbows on the ground, its whole body twisted strangely, without raising its head, it just moved forward bit by bit.
"Fuck!"
Yan Junze glanced at the fork at the intersection, he was closer to the fork, and he had a great hope of climbing there first.
At this time, he had no choice but to make a noise, and quickly crawled towards the fork with both hands and feet.
The corpse did not raise its head during the crawling process, and a penetrating voice of "ah... ah..." came out of its throat, echoing in the empty tunnel, making Yan Junze feel horrified.
That guy just started to move, obviously Yan Junze's speed here is a bit faster, taking advantage.
The corpse seemed to be crawling very slowly at first, but his body was twisted so badly that he slowly exerted force behind him, and the crawling speed began to increase accordingly.
Yan Junze felt something was wrong, and his pupils shrank slightly.
I saw the guy's feet and knees separated, one left and one right against the rock walls on both sides of the tunnel, and after a while, his whole body was suspended in the air.
This suspension, like a crawling spider, the speed of the corpse immediately began to accelerate.
Yan Junze was startled, he didn't care about the pain in his hands and feet, he rushed to the fork quickly, threw two dogs into the mud along the way, wiped off a piece of skin on his arm, and there were bruises in some places.
Take the lead and rush into the bifurcation, without slowing down, still crawling forward rapidly.
The corpse behind arrived at the fork after two or three seconds, ah... ah, still making an ugly voice, chasing after Yan Junze.
The anxiety in Yan Junze's heart rose sharply, and he climbed forward desperately. In panic, he raised his body unconsciously several times, and his head hit the rock wall above his head heavily. speed.
Even for a second, he was ready to start the rollback.
But even if you file back, you still have to pass here. According to Yan Junze's guess, this corpse lying in front of the stagnant pool is destined to wake up to hinder him.
Soon the passage in front began to go downhill. After gaining a certain amount, Yan Junze's speed finally increased, using all four limbs together, and in the end he almost slid forward.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, the light suddenly fell into the darkness not far away.
Yan Junze was ready to fall to the ground immediately, but at this moment, the voice of "Ah...ah" was completely close, and Yan Junze felt his ankle tightened, and he was caught by something.
There is a wet feeling on the skin. It is the palm that has been soaking in the stagnant pool, and there is even an illusion that the peeled palm skin is sticking together.
Yan Junze didn't care about anything, at the critical moment, he didn't care so much. He freed his other foot and kicked it backwards violently, and he didn't know where he hit.
But the feet were grabbed even tighter, and in desperation, Yan Junze kicked violently again.
At this moment, his whole body had slid to the edge of the tunnel, almost protruding half of his body, but his ankle was still tightly grasped.
As a last resort, Yan Junze turned around and took off the crowbar pinned to his waist. The crowbar was all made of pure iron, with a hook-shaped front end, and the tip of the hook was relatively sharp. Some unknown part of the body behind.
This blow was extremely hard, and after hitting the opponent, I felt a loosening of my foot, and finally broke free.
He quickly drilled forward, and the whole person fell out of the tunnel and landed on the flat ground.
Fortunately, the entrance of the tunnel is only more than one meter away from the flat ground, and the fall is just disheartened, and no one is injured.
After falling to the ground, Yan Junze squatted at the bottom of the tunnel, clinging to the rock wall, and turned off the two flashlights in his hand before he could get up.
The entire space was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Overhead, there was a rustling sound of crawling, accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing against the rock wall.
It is conceivable that the pure iron crowbar should be hooked to a certain part of the corpse, and it was deeply stuck in it, unable to fall off.
When the corpse is crawling, it will naturally cause the crowbar to rub against the rock wall, and then make a clear friction sound.
Yan Junze recalled carefully, and felt that the crowbar should have been inserted into the neck and even the head of the corpse, but he was not sure.
Although he was out of breath at the moment, he still didn't dare to pant hard, squatting there, clinging to the rock wall at the bottom of the tunnel. From above in the darkness, something seemed to stick its head out, and a small amount of dirt fell on the hair.
As if the air was stagnant, Yan Junze held his breath as much as possible, focusing all his attention on the top of his head.
click.
A drop of stinky water from the stagnant pool fell and landed on Yan Junze's right cheek.
Tap, another drop, still hitting the same cheek.
The stinky water flowed slowly along his cheeks and into his neck.
Yan Junze resisted, and did not reach out to wipe.
After about ten seconds, the thing did not climb out of the tunnel, but slowly retracted its head, and then the sound of friction between the crowbar and the rock wall sounded again, and it gradually moved away in the tunnel.
Yan Junze began to breathe lightly, but still did not move.
With his back against the side of the rock wall, he waited for another two minutes or so in this dark space, until the sound of the crowbar rubbing could no longer be heard. He moved, his senses gradually gathered, and put it in front of his eyes. In this completely dark space.
His back did not leave the rock wall, and he was still squatting against the wall, not daring to move at will.
Because I didn’t have time to take a closer look from the time I rushed out of the tunnel to the moment I turned off the flashlight and hid it immediately, but it seems that there is a large space here, but the air is very bad and very turbid.
Yan Junze believes that he can only stay here for half an hour at most, if the time is too long, he might faint. And now I feel dizzy and dizzy.
After thinking about it, he still decided to turn on the flashlight, otherwise, squatting here with black eyes, everything would be useless.
The moment the two flashlights were turned on, after seeing the scene in front of him, Yan Junze's head buzzed, and he froze on the spot, and then an uncontrollable sense of terror crawled all over his body.
There is another update at night after 23:00.
