Endless route

Chapter 10 10. A large number of corpses

Zheng Yun carefully looked at the corpse hanging in the air. The more he looked at it, the uglier his face became. This frightened Sister Wang so much that she swallowed dryly before whispering:

Brother Zheng, what did you find?

It's okay, let's find someone first. Zheng Yun looked serious and shook his head slightly, without explaining in detail.

It should be in the back.

Sister Wang was not sure. She also saw other corpses in the depths, but she found no mark, only traces on the ground in front.

Leave a mark.

Zheng Yun took out a knife and carved a mark, and asked Sister Wang to leave a mark. Then the two of them walked around the corpses, and soon came to the corpses.

The two walked over cautiously.

There were corpses spread around the deep cave on a gentle slope. You could see seven or eight at a glance. They were all the same as those seen along the way. Their bodies were covered with hoarfrost. There were probably some deep inside the cave, but I didn't know how deep the cave was, so I couldn't make an estimate.

Call with flashlight.

A piece of white flowers.

It makes people feel chills on the back of their necks.

Sister Wang was speechless. The flashlight in her hand was shaking, and the beam of light was shaking on the rock wall.

Zheng Yun frowned deeper and looked up at the rock wall above his head. Since entering the mine, he had seen a large number of corpses, at least a dozen.

These people all have one thing in common, they are not locals, they all look like explorers or modern gold diggers, and their equipment is not bad.

It is difficult not to make people wonder whether the deaths of these people are related to the town of La Maine at the foot of the mountain.

Let's go.

Zheng Yun continued to take two steps forward, but could not hear Sister Wang's footsteps. Looking back, he found that Sister Wang was staring behind him intently.

But her flashlight was pointed forward.

She was looking at the intersection behind her, but without a flashlight, she was looking directly into the darkness.

Zheng Yun walked towards her.

Sister Wang suddenly turned around and came back, revealing a face full of fear. Her eyes were wide open to the limit, her nostrils were dilated, her eyebrows were twisted, and her lips were still trembling.

She said nothing.

Put your finger on your mouth:

Shh!

Seeing her expression, Zheng Yun realized that something was wrong, so he immediately walked slowly, shined the flashlight behind him, and walked carefully to her side.

There were footsteps.

Sister Wang grabbed Zheng Yun's arm and whispered in his ear, her voice drowned in the sound of water drops.

Zheng Yun nodded, slowly put the flashlight on the ground, then pulled it out, staring at the darkness outside the fork in the road, the nerves in his body were highly tense.

Snapped.

A faint voice sounded.

Zheng Yun and Sister Wang looked at each other, and they could clearly hear the footsteps coming from the right side of the fork in the road, which was the road they took when they came here.

This person didn't turn on the light.

He was actually walking in the dark.

The two of them continued to wait with bated breath for nearly ten minutes. Apart from the sound of water ticking, they never heard another step.

It seemed that this person also stopped.

Zheng Yun took in a suppressed breath. He was very nervous. He might suffocate if he held it in any longer, so he stretched out his hand and pushed Sister Wang's waist.

Sister Wang took a step back.

Zheng Yun picked up the flashlight, pointed it to the right and threw it lightly, then raised his gun and stepped out of the way.

Nothing at all.

The flashlight beam on the ground hit the front, covering hundreds of meters of ground in an umbrella shape, and the surrounding rock walls were also illuminated, but there was nothing in front.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

A string of sharp iron ropes suddenly sounded.

Zheng Yun looked back and saw an empty mining crane hanging on the ropeway, sliding strangely through the darkness, shaky but extremely fast.

There is nothing on the chairlift.

It's obviously just a cover.

He secretly thought that he was fooled and turned around immediately, only to see a black shadow quickly disappearing into the end of the mine tunnel, getting into an unknown corner, and disappearing in an instant.

...

Zheng Yun retreated to the fork and leaned against the wall to take a breath. The body hanging at the fork trembled with the vibration of the ropeway, and did not stop until the chairlift slid far away.

Who is it?

Sister Wang clutched her chest with lingering fear.

Zheng Yun shook his head and said nothing. He had guessed part of it, but he didn't dare to say for sure now.

Just after resting for a few minutes, the mutation reappeared. A flashlight beam came from the right side of the fork in the road, and then a series of footsteps approached quickly.

Who's in front?

Huzi's voice echoed.

Zheng Yun stuck his head out and took a look. Huzi could only see a flashlight thrown on the ground, so he was holding his weapon and exploring here step by step.

One of our own, don't shoot.

Zheng Yun turned around and responded. He was afraid that Huzi would shoot him, just like the corpse next to him.

Damn it, Brother Zheng, I was scared to death. Why did a hanging chair slide by out of thin air? Huzi ran over quickly and got into the fork in the road.

You didn't see anyone when you came here? Zheng Yun asked. The black shadow he saw was running towards Huzi.

No, there is only a hanging chair. Huzi shook his head and leaned against the wall to breathe heavily. After tensing his nerves all the way, he finally relaxed a little.

Why are you walking alone? Where are Hu Ruihua and the others? Where have they gone? Sister Wang immediately asked.

Don't mention it, Brother Zheng, something big has happened this time, and I have to rely on you. Huzi sighed and roughly told what happened to them.

He had just chased the figure and ran down this branch of the road in one breath. This part of the route was the same as that of Sister Zheng Yun, and it was indeed him who fired the gun.

After being punched twice for no reason, he realized that it was a corpse, but he didn't care about it.

He saw the figure running into the depths of this forked road with his own eyes, so he ran forward to chase him. After entering, he found that this forked road was a dead end, but the person was missing.

After that, Hu Ruihua and the others also rushed over, searched around, and found a square iron door on the ground, which was as thick as a safe door.

The three of them opened the door together.

It turned out that there was a sloping ladder below, and there was a huge rift valley cave outside, which was seventy or eighty meters deep. There was white mist at the bottom, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Huzi went down the inclined ladder and found that there were iron stairs on the cave wall, zigzagging down one level at a time, connecting each level of the mine tunnel.

The inclined entrance is the iron staircase.

So Huzi tied a rope and jumped down. The iron stairs were old and rusty but harder than the road. Every other section was nailed to the cave with thigh-thick steel pipes.

The three of them couldn't find anyone, so they decided to look for the target. Then they went down the inclined ladder to the iron staircase. After walking down two sections, they found that the staircase had broken out of thin air.

It seems to have been artificially destroyed.

Then they could only go back the same way, but when they came back they found that the square iron gate was also closed. The three of them struggled on the iron stairs for a while, and then they came back through another door.

The mine tunnel they entered at that time was one level lower than the current level. Hu Ruihua felt that something was wrong and planned to come up to Zheng Yun to discuss it, so they looked for upward steps or mine tunnels all the way.

But on the way they discovered.

There are almost always Ningshuang's corpses on any fork in the road, not only hanging on the ropeway, but also piled at the entrance of the pit, with a total of hundreds of scattered bodies!

Even people with a personality like Huzi's were so frightened that their legs weakened and they didn't dare to look further. They finally returned to this level in one breath, but a solitary hanging chair floated from the depths and slid past their eyes.

It startled people again.

When the chairlift passed, Huzi pulled out his weapon and walked this way. He saw a flashlight on the ground from a distance, and thought that one of his own had been killed...

Before Hu Zi finished speaking, Hu Ruihua and the thin young man also came over after hearing the sound. After seeing Zheng Yun and Sister Wang, they all breathed a sigh of relief and rested against the wall.

Huzi, you didn't even call out when you found your man. Instead, you sat here by yourself. The thin young man complained and sat on the ground to catch his breath.

Brother Zheng, there is something wrong with this place. There must be corpses at every fork. Is there any saying in our Feng Shui? Hu Ruihua asked seriously.
