Chapter 140: Cornered(1/2)
As a senior veteran, Peng Hu has experienced this kind of thing not once or twice, so it is natural that after discovering that the forest has been calm for a long time without abnormality, Peng Hu, who should have been relaxed, became even more uneasy. His brows were furrowed while thinking.
Wrinkled, his expression gradually darkened.
(Curse what on earth are you doing, you bastard? It’s enough to trap people into the forest, but why did you break up the team? Even if the team is scattered and the executors are scattered everywhere, what about the cards? The numbers that should exist inside the forest
Where are the cards? After searching for a whole day, I couldn’t find any, and there’s also the unknown mantle spirit body that exists or not...)
"Hey, Brother Peng, what's wrong with you?"
At the same time, Peng Hu frowned and thought about the problem. Maybe he was almost full after eating the bread. After drinking water, Li Tianheng finally had time to look at the man beside him, but it was better not to look at him.
I found that the bald man hadn’t eaten anything, but in his hand
The bread he had left was untouched, and the Coke beside him also maintained its original packaging. Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but be curious, so he asked curiously. After raising his hand and touching the other person, he continued to ask: "Why don't you eat? Or did you say you did it before?
have eaten?"
"What the hell, do you think I only care about eating like you? Before I figure out the problem, I have no fucking appetite!"
"Huh?"
Facing the bald man's obvious irritability and casual answer, Li Tianheng was slightly stunned. After a long time, he scratched his head and asked: "Problem? What problem? Didn't we discuss it before? We will leave after dinner."
Looking for cards. In fact, what you said before is right. You are already lost in the forest anyway. In this case, it is better to give up looking for the exit and just focus on looking for cards. As long as you collect 8 cards, you don’t have to leave the forest.
, we will automatically be..."
"Brother Peng, hey hey hey, Brother Peng!"
There is no reason, no reason. Just when Li Tianheng was talking nonsense next to the bald man like a fly, for some reason, the young man stopped. Except for inexplicably ending his earlier remarks, he was stunned, and then he raised his elbow and poked him again.
Side by side, at the same time with curious eyes and words to remind.
"Damn it, you kid, stop poking me. You'd better shut your mouth. Can't you see that I'm thinking about something?"
"No, no, Brother Peng, that's not what I meant. I meant that I just heard the sound."
"Voice? Where is the voice?"
"I can't tell you exactly. You can only tell if you listen carefully. Hey, it seems to be getting clearer and clearer."
Sure enough, after being explained by Li Tianheng, Peng Hu, who had been irritated just now, suddenly looked surprised. He immediately listened at the young man's signal, and actually heard the sound! Not only did he hear the sound, but as time passed, the sound became louder and louder.
It became louder and clearer, and before long, a series of strange noises that appeared out of nowhere and resembled signal noise echoed around the scene and passed to the eardrums:
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
………
Many times, the development of events will not depend on human will. Similarly, most of the time, your so-called absolute safety is only temporary, just because the situation has not developed to a certain extent, or the opportunity has not yet arrived.
If the opportunity arrives, then your so-called safety will disappear in an instant, and then you will officially face a violent storm that is a hundred times more terrifying than imagined!
The forest changes after midnight, a change that humans cannot detect. During the change, a low-frequency sound wave of unknown origin emerges inexplicably and silently fills the entire forest in a way that is real but difficult to be received by the ears.
It is true that sound waves are low and imperceptible, but this so-called low-frequency sound wave is just one of the changes. If you want to find the source of the sound, you may not be able to do it. Finding the source of the sound is even more difficult than walking out of the forest, unless...
Unless the source of the sound wants you to discover him, and then quietly approaches you with increasing intensity.
Just as Peng Hu was concentrating on thinking about many questions and doubts, Li Tianheng, who had just finished eating, heard a voice next to him.
Out of surprise, the young man reminded Peng Hu. At this point, the two of them listened intently and calmly. Then, a series of sounds similar to signal noises passed through the eardrums, gradually becoming clear, until they echoed in the scene:
Bah, bah, bah, bah.
The murmur began to be violent, frequently irritating the eardrums. If the two of them could not find the direction of the sound at first, then as the murmur gradually became clearer, Peng Hu found the right direction, and stood up suddenly under Li Tianheng's confused and suspicious gaze.
, then he held a flashlight and shined it to the right, looking straight towards the dark southeast direction, looking towards the specific direction where the sound came from.
Due to the long distance and the darkness, even a powerful cat-eye flashlight can only illuminate a range of two hundred meters, but it doesn't matter. For humans, the distance of two hundred meters is enough, and it is enough for Peng and Hu.
See everything clearly.
During the observation period, the bald man was tense and alert, and together with Li Tianheng who got up later, they both observed the opposite side of the forest. Next, through the light beam, they collectively witnessed a scene:
In the misty night, bursts of noise echoed and spread. In the distance, there seemed to be a shadow in the blurry darkness composed of a large number of trees. A shadow was difficult to detect because it looked like a tree at first, but it gradually became visible due to its movement.
tall shadow.
The black shadow is extremely tall, with the lowest visual inspection being 3 meters. At this moment, the shadow that looks like the trees on both sides is moving quietly, approaching, and straightly shuttles through the surrounding trees with no visible legs swinging.
He penetrated the fog at a constant speed in a fast but not too slow way, and approached the two people's position. The distance of a hundred meters passed quietly. In the end, when the distance between the two sides shrank from the initial two hundred meters to only one hundred meters, Peng Hu saw
The appearance of the black shadow was clear.
It was a person, a man, a tall, slender man wearing a suit, but...
The man has no face, no hair or facial features, no eyes, mouth, ears, nose, or even eyebrows. His whole head is blank, completely empty. He is just like a faceless monster. To the executor,
A terrifying existence that left a deep impression, a dangerous existence that is equivalent to death in the eyes of humans!
"Ah, ah, ah..."
This was the first sound that Li Tianheng made after discovering and seeing the faceless man. It was a meaningless hoarse note made by the movement of his throat. In addition, he showed fear. In addition to fear, his body trembled, causing the right hand holding the flashlight to shake together.
, then, the young man began to retreat, instinctively retreating, and moved his legs to retreat under the stimulation of the too terrifying scene.
Looking back, Li Tianheng was like this, and so was Peng Hu. In other words, as early as he noticed the tall, slender and long figure, the bald man had already had a premonition that something was wrong. Under the murmur that filled his eardrums, the corners of his mouth twitched and his forehead sweated.
The strange thing is that despite being scared to death, he did not turn around and run away immediately, but carefully and slowly retreated.
The reason is very simple, because the opponent is not fast. Just like at the beginning, a hundred meters away, the faceless man is moving horizontally at an unhurried speed, approaching at a constant speed. Logically speaking, when the faceless man is slower, our side should
Take the opportunity to escape, but also
Please don’t forget that Peng Hu is a veteran. He understands the characteristics of worms and knows that the laws of physics cannot restrain the spirit body. Failure to bind is equivalent to the law of detachment. In many cases, the worm spirit body that is not restricted by physics is indeed faster than running on only two legs.
Humans move faster.
That is to say...
If he and Li Tianheng overreacted and turned around and ran, they would definitely stimulate the terrifying faceless man on the opposite side who was clearly not a human being, thus causing the other side to chase them. And once they were pursued with all their strength by the other side, who knows how fast the other side would be? Or
In what way will the other party pursue or even attack them?
What is the most terrifying thing in the world? The standard answer is, the unknown!
The speed is unknown, the ability is unknown, the way of existence is unknown, everything is unknown. The only thing that is known is that when the other party appears, it will be accompanied by bursts of noise echoing around the scene. Therefore, without knowing the faceless man's abilities and methods at all, at the same time, for the sake of
Avoid hasty escape and get burned. At the critical moment, Peng Hu
Showing his strong psychological quality, he did not panic and scream and run away, but chose to deal with it safely. While maintaining a distance of 100 meters, he slowly retreated at a speed only slightly faster than the faceless man. In addition to himself, his right hand was also dead.
He pulled him to his side and grabbed Li Tianheng who was about to turn around and run away.
The result can be imagined. Seeing Peng Hu suddenly reaching out to grab him, Li Tianheng's eyes widened with an expression of astonishment, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at the other person. Although he did not speak, the shocked expression on the young man's face was enough to express his feelings.
Personally, I was puzzled. The bald man did not explain this, but just shook his head slightly to give a hint.
As mentioned before, Li Tianheng is a sensible person. Although he is not necessarily very smart, his ability to understand things is better than many people. Sure enough, seeing Peng Hu shaking his head and implying in his eyes, the young man suddenly understood and understood the man
Afterwards, the two people who had reached a consensus began to retreat. While maintaining a distance of a hundred meters, they retreated away at a speed slightly faster than the faceless man. They gradually widened the distance and gradually moved away from the crisis.
110 meters, 120 meters, 150 meters, 200 meters, 230 meters...
As the distance gets farther and farther, the figure gradually blurs. The faceless man's figure that was relatively clear before becomes blurry again as the distance increases. Likewise, as the distance increases, the strange noise that was still clear earlier also becomes blurry.
Lower, lower and lower.
As for Peng Hu...
The bald man did not relax or feel happy. He just continued to retreat, still maintaining the original state with Li Tianheng and retreating at a constant speed until...
Until the distance between the two parties reaches 300 meters, until the noise in the ears almost disappears, until the cat's eye flashlight can no longer illuminate the other party's figure.
Then, gritting his teeth, Peng Hu issued an instruction. The instruction was very brief, as short as one word:
"run!"
Da da da da da!
At this moment, Peng Hu suddenly turned around and ran away. Li Tianheng also turned around and ran. The moment they both confirmed that they were safely away from danger, they gave up walking and instead ran. They ran through the forest with a sprint comparable to a hundred-meter sprint. During the rush,
Full of joy.
(Succeeded, escaped, and even miraculously escaped and ascended to heaven despite encountering a worm!)
Li Tianheng was thinking this, but Peng Hu was thinking more. In addition to being happy that he was almost the same as a young man with a problem, he was also shocked...
(It turns out that there really are locusts in the forest, and the locusts are exactly the mysterious faceless man who only showed his face in the video preview, a terrifying existence dubbed the "Slender Locust Shadow". Cheng Ying said that thing belongs to the city
Legend, I didn’t expect it to actually exist in the mission world now. I would appear naked in the forest and even be seen by myself. The forest... wait, appear in the forest? Could it be this?
It can only move in the forest? If this is the case, He Fei and his group should not be in danger. This is good news. In addition, since the faceless man is hiding in the forest, then as early as yesterday, that is, me and others
Why was everything safe when I entered the forest? In my impression, I didn’t encounter any danger during the whole day or night. It even made me wonder if there were any hawks in the forest, until just now...)
(What time is it now? 1:45, which is midnight and early morning, huh? Is it possible...)
His thoughts went deeper and deeper as he ran, and he got answers to his doubts in horror. Even if the answer came from a personal guess that lacked evidence, it still gave Peng Hu a better understanding of the forest.
It's a pity that his so-called understanding is limited to the forest, and does not include the faceless man!
It is said that the King of Hell will let you die at the third watch, but will not let you die until the fifth watch. Everyone knows that accidents often happen in reality, so why is it the same in the already weird mission world? The only difference is that what happens in reality is
