C40 (1/2)

This voice was too sudden, as though it exploded right beside my ear, and it was just like someone shouting it out at the top of my lungs, it was extremely terrifying, both Zhu Yingqiong and I subconsciously stopped in our tracks, turned around, and realized that there was no one around us!

Ta ta ta ta!

At this moment, the sound of messy and hurried footsteps became even more intense. It was as if there were many people running around us, but we could still not see anyone.

I have never experienced such fear before. My limbs were ice-cold from fear, so I could only muster up my courage and shout, ”Who was the one who just spoke? Where are you? ”

The faint voice spoke again, ”I'm right behind you. Come quickly, don't go in!”

This time, I heard the direction clearly. The sound actually came from the Walled City entrance, and the concrete building that was located at the right side of the Walled City entrance, with rusted barbed wire beneath it, allowed for us to clearly hear the sound of the voice. It seems to be coming from underneath the barbed wire.

Zhu Yingqiong and I had no idea what to do now, because the sound of the footsteps around us was too scary, it made my scalp tingle. I could only walk towards the source of the sound absentmindedly, and only when I reached the fence did I see a disheveled human figure lying on the ground under the barbed wire, covered with rotten branches and rotten leaves, it was as though a sniper was wearing a lucky camouflage. If it wasn't for him waving his hand towards us, we wouldn't have been able to see it clearly.

We hurried over, but before we could ask anything, the person suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed us down on the ground. He hastily grabbed the rotten branches and leaves on the ground and covered us up.

The situation wasn't right, Zhu Yingqiong and I did not dare to move anymore, and we could only lie quietly on the ground like him, staring at the Walled City, but there were no movements inside, the sky was getting darker and darker, as though it was a ghost city shrouded in darkness.

I turned my head to look at the man next to me. He was reeking, disheveled, and his face was dirty to the point where I couldn't see his face clearly. He was wearing a tattered outdoor hiking suit, and there was a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. Why did it appear here?

I really wanted to ask about it, but the figure was lying on the ground, trembling. I didn't dare to move, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

What was he looking at?

What was with the footsteps just now?

We lay under the barbed wire for more than an hour. It was a torturous time, and I was filled with questions and apprehension about the miasma.

After about half an hour, Zhu Yingqiong suddenly twisted my arm, gesturing for me to look back. I abruptly turned my head, and immediately saw a milky-white miasma shrouding the sky and covering the earth.

I suddenly became nervous and looked towards the mysterious person. He was still lying on the ground without moving like an old dog. Just as I wanted to tell him to hurry up and leave, he suddenly grabbed my hand and shouted, ”Look!”

I hastily looked inside the Walled City, and immediately a scene that I will never forget appeared!

Countless heads suddenly appeared on the flat ground of the Walled City. These heads popped out from the ground and let out a series of roars, then jumped out from the ground and started sprinting inside the Walled City. In just a few short minutes, there were actually more than a hundred heads crawling out from the ground.

All of them were the size of a child, but their heads were as big as fish vats, and their bodies were covered with dense black hair. Each of them wore a Bronze Fox Face mask, and in the dim Walled City, they looked like countless foxes jumping around, extremely strange!

Beastmen!

I opened my mouth wide in shock. I never thought that there would be so many beastmen inside the Walled City.

Before I could think it through, the mysterious person suddenly turned around and looked at the miasma behind us. He immediately said, ”It's time, let's go!”

After saying that, he stealthily stood up and leaned against the edge of the fence. He stretched out his hand and pulled at the ground, and immediately, I saw a stone slab pulled up by him, revealing a pitch black hole below.

”This is the well, jump in!”

Zhu Yingqiong and I looked at each other, and I knew that there was nothing we could do. In front of us were hundreds of beastmen, and the miasma behind us was so close that we could only follow the mysterious man and jump down.

We only hesitated for a few seconds before we jumped into the black hole one after the other. We thought that it would be very deep, but when we jumped in, we found that it wouldn't be more than two meters deep.

Seeing that we had all jumped down, the mysterious man climbed up the side of the stone wall and covered it with the stone slab, causing the surroundings to instantly become pitch black and not able to see his fingers. Zhu Yingqiong and I hastily took out our flashlight to light it up, and the light scattered from below.

The two sides of the well were so wide that their hands could touch the wall, and the three of them were standing in a bit of a crowd. I saw that there was a row of stone steps beside the entrance to the well, and that the mysterious man had stepped on those stone steps to flip over the stone slab and cover the entrance.

Directly in front of the cave entrance was another very short fork. The width of the fork was about the same, but it was very short. The interior was very deep, and it was unknown where it led to.

When the mysterious person saw the flashlight, his eyes were filled with light. He then looked at us and asked urgently, ”Is there anything to eat?”
