【008】Distress

Jiang Rong didn't need to look back, she knew that this kid He Pengfei was playing tricks, and Zhong Kui's father was missing. At this time, he was still in the mood to joke, but fortunately he was still a man, and he had no mercy at all.

Zhong Kui was not here, so according to Zhi Qing's expectation, the three of them temporarily retreated to the dilapidated building and waited for him to return before making any plans.

Everyone has doubts in their hearts. The previous inexplicable chase felt too weird, but no one dared to pierce this layer of window paper, because fear comes from imagination and psychology. Once a person reaches the limit of fear, he will be extremely fragile. If you become immune to a single blow, you will have difficulty controlling yourself, going crazy, hysteria and other complications.

Silently and in tacit understanding, after exiting the cave, the three of them were dumbfounded. They had only focused on chasing and completely ignored the surrounding environment. In their panic, the three of them climbed halfway up the mountain. The sky was like an upside-down iron pot with no bottom. It was completely dark, and the bottom of the mountain was also pitch black... I couldn't see the direction of the town, and I didn't know how long I could last with just my cell phone and lighter.

Zhiqing hesitated, turned around and looked at the cave, which was also dark, and said, "How about we stay here and wait until dawn to go down the mountain."

His suggestion was immediately echoed by He Pengfei, "Yes, look at how this goes, maybe he fell off the cliff and died and no one has collected his body."

"Bah, coward," Jiang Rong spat at him. "We have mobile phones that can illuminate," she said as she took out her mobile phone and turned on the screen.

Zhiqing disagreed with Jiang Rong's suggestion. He said: "We can't waste the remaining resources. Of course the mobile phone can illuminate, but what if there is no power? What if there is a signal and you want to make a call or something? "

What Uncle Chen said was not unreasonable, but Jiang Rong just couldn't trust her father. She whispered: "But what should I do about my father? We don't know where he is."

Zhiqing looked at her with a grimace on her face and said helplessly: "I don't know what to do if something happens to you two little devils. Besides, your father is not a simple person. He can pinch and calculate, and he can do anything. If it’s something big, even if you don’t see us, you’ll definitely try to find it,”

The three of them returned to the cave. He Pengfei lit a lighter and looked after it casually. Jiang Rong, who was on the side, took a closer look at the light. At this glance, he saw some signs. The cave was not big, but the bottom of the cave seemed to have been trampled by countless people. A narrow and inconspicuous path.

"Huh..." The lighter became hot after being burned for a long time. He Pengfei whispered in his mouth and hurriedly extinguished the flame. Jiang Rong on the side laughed out loud and secretly cursed, "Idiot is still squeaking," she said softly. While laughing, he subconsciously took out his phone and opened the screen in a showy way. A faint green light on the screen, almost like a small flashlight, illuminated the cave.

Zhiqing, who was very depressed on the side, saw his children playing with their mobile phones without knowing what was going on and consuming electricity. He couldn't help but get angry and said: "You go ahead and play, if you lose your life, there will be nothing to play with."

Jiang Rong felt aggrieved, turned off her phone with a frosty expression, and whispered: "I want to see what's going on inside the cave, what if there are humans?"

Her words immediately drew ridicule from He Pengfei, "You think this is the home of the cavemen at the top of the mountain,"

"You're so boring," Jiang Rong retorted, "Aren't you a caveman now?"

"Humph, this is all given by you..."

"Okay, don't argue. Rongrong is right. We need to go and see what's going on." Zhiqing's words were not biased. He felt that if there were humans living in the cave as Jiang Rong said, it might not be true. A good thing, at least you can get some help.

The three of them did not need to vote, and the winner was already decided. Two to one, they decided to check the situation inside the cave. Zhiqing assigned He Pengfei's lighter to light up the path first, and then after the lighter became hot, he used his mobile phone temporarily. It can be replaced for a while, but it is not a problem because it consumes a lot of money when the phone is turned on and off.

The cave stretched all the way, and when they accidentally kicked the rocks, they would make a dull and hollow echo. For a moment, He Pengfei wanted to squeeze Jiang Rong away and walk in the middle, because he didn't want to see the reflection on the cave wall. The three sneaky and trembling moving figures, and when they saw clearly that these three ghost-like figures turned out to be themselves, they couldn't help but smile to themselves.

The cave is becoming more and more spacious, which Zhiqing did not expect. As an old surveyor, he has an immeasurable endurance to conquer unfamiliar and strange geographical environments.

Judging from his lifetime survey experience, there is indeed something extraordinary about this place. It is like a natural tunnel. In addition to being dark and gloomy, it also indicates that they who are walking in the cave will soon lead from this exit to another place. .

The cave was unobstructed and had enough convection air. The convection air formed a cold wind, forcing Jiang Rong to hold her arms tightly and nervously follow Uncle Chen.

He Pengfei looked around, unable to concentrate. He always wanted to talk, because talking could reduce his fear.

The lighter held on for the last time, and the flame flickered, struggling pointlessly. Finally, it went out with a 'pop', and the darkness swallowed them up again. Jiang Rong was used to this sudden darkness, and pressed the buttons on her phone in an orderly manner.

The light of the screen cannot be compared with the flames in reality. Its weak light perception makes everyone's face look like a zombie face, white and dense.

Walking to the hinterland of the cave, Zhiqing suggested taking a rest. The three of them sat on the ground. At this moment, they had no time to worry about anything. They just felt really tired. Sitting on the ground, they felt a strong sense of laziness and did not want to get up and continue working hard.

"What's on the other side of the hole?" Jiang Rong temporarily turned off the screen of her mobile phone, gently kneaded her fingers that were slightly aching from holding the screen for a long time, and suddenly asked in the darkness.

In the silence... they lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to face the dark space.

Leaning a little, Zhiqing coughed twice and replied slowly: "I also want to ask this question. Please be patient and we will go see it together later." The calm tone was to give them and their two children stability. In fact, he was also beating a drum in his heart. As he walked, he didn't know how far away he was from Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui has been running wildly, and his escape route is almost blocked. This is not a hospital, but more like a devil's cave. The situation here is too complicated. Those lying on the bed are unknown creatures that imitate humans and steal human brains. After receiving the information, they successfully cloned themselves and blended into the crowd in their place.
