At this moment, Qin Si just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible. She had not yet recovered from the shock of Qin Cong's death. She was so scared that she ran around, completely ignoring the cries for help from Fan Yong and others.

"What's following us? Qin Si, can't you just explain it clearly?" Another man grabbed Qin Si's collar and became a little irritable because of fear. He wished he could get some useful information out of Qin Si's mouth.

But now Qin Si was already unconscious, especially after hearing those faint singing voices, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"Where is Fan Yong? Where did Fan Yong go?" another person asked.

Qin Si could only smile bitterly and raise his head: "He's dead. Didn't you hear what I said? Fan Yong was killed by a monster. We have to leave this damn place quickly. If we don't leave, we will all die here."

Although the two men didn't know what the "monster" Qin Si was talking about was, it was impossible for Qin Si to play tricks on them at this critical moment, so after letting her go, the two men began to raise their heads and shine flashlights forward. One of them shouted at the top of his voice: "Hurry up and let the rope down, we have to go up right away!"

The first two people who climbed up were actually almost reaching the cave entrance. In particular, the man named Brother Zhou, who had climbing experience, was less than two meters away from the edge of the cave entrance, and the other person under his feet was also trying his best to climb up.

Suddenly, he saw a light coming from below. Although it was very faint, the man frowned and said suspiciously, "It seems like something happened to them. They kept flashing their lights."

The two people below flicked the lights on and off to send signals to the people above so that they would know what was going on below.

"Don't worry about it for now. We'll think of a solution after we go up. We're almost on the ground and can't be distracted here." Brother Zhou gritted his teeth and stared at the edge of the cave. He only needed to take a few more steps forward to get out.

There was only cold wind blowing in from above, but the situation above was impossible to see clearly from a distance of several dozen meters. The two men's hopes were dashed just like the lights above that were gradually disappearing.

At this time, the creepy song that made people's scalps tingle had reached the edge of the corridor. Qin Si was so scared that he pressed his whole body against the wall and didn't move. The other person stared at the direction of the corridor entrance. The last person tried to climb up, but without any auxiliary tools, he only climbed less than one meter before sliding down again.

Although the darkness prevented them from seeing anything, what was strange was that the woman-like voice suddenly stopped when it was about to reach the entrance of the corridor, and was replaced by a fishy breath spraying in front. The person closest to it could even clearly feel that there was something less than two meters in front, and that thing was a pitch-black mass, gasping for breath.

Although they couldn't see anything, the three of them understood that the thing that suddenly appeared before their eyes must not be a human.

Qin Si was so scared that she burst into tears. Although she tried her best not to make any sound, she still couldn't control her sobs.

That "thing" seemed to be extremely sensitive to sound. It was originally facing one of the men, but after hearing Qin Si's whimpering, it suddenly changed direction and walked straight to Qin Si.

"Pah" Qin Si was startled, and felt a sticky thing hit his cheek. The touch was very rough and hard. Judging from the fishy breath, the thing on his face should be the tongue of that thing, and its action at this moment was like a judgment behavior to confirm whether the prey in front of it was delicious.

Qin Si was completely frightened and stood stiffly in place. She could feel the creature's breathing was very rapid, and the gas sprayed on her face was hot and had a disgusting fishy smell. She even saw the monster's saliva dripping onto the ground and corroding the ground.

Qin Si suddenly thought of what happened half an hour ago. She couldn't even accept that Qin Cong died in front of her eyes. She was so busy escaping that her mind was blank. But now the monster was right in front of her. Qin Si could see nothing at all. The only thing she could see clearly was the monster's dark pupils without any white. This reminded her of a very popular European and American movie "Alien" more than ten years ago.

Because my younger brother Qin Cong has liked monster movies since he was a child, especially Hollywood movies. When he was in high school, he became crazy about monster movies such as Alien and Godzilla, especially the Alien movie. He even bought all the DVD collections and even bought action figures.

When "Prometheus" was first released, Qin Cong even dragged Qin Si to find the source of the film and watched it together at home on a 70-inch big screen. Qin Si was disgusted by the "face-hugger" and the alien species that mutated at the end. He even dreamed about these strange creatures at night and couldn't understand why Qin Cong was obsessed with aliens.

Although many mutated animals have been seen in the apocalypse in recent years, at least in the encyclopedia of mutant creatures published by the base, most of the mutant creatures that have appeared so far are mutations of normal animals and poultry, and no matter how they change their appearance and body shape, they still retain the characteristics of the original animals. Although Qin Si felt it was scary at first, he quickly accepted most of the mutated animals.

Just now, when Qin Si ran to explain the bloodstains to Qin Cong and Fan Yong, Qin Cong started to joke and was even unwilling to believe what Qin Si said. After all, he and Fan Yong and another person had been walking for such a long time and had not encountered any abnormalities, let alone monsters, not even a mutant mouse. Therefore, he was more certain that there was absolutely no problem with the energy stone detector in his hand. The closer to the energy stone, the farther away from the mutant beast due to the magnetic field problem.

"Sister Sisi, stop joking. There is no monster here. Those bloodstains are most likely just water."

"It can't be water, it's real blood. Look at my hand." Qin Si handed over his blood-stained palm, and the sticky liquid on the palm was clearly visible in the weak flashlight.

Tan Cong and his buddies looked at each other in bewilderment. At this moment, they also began to doubt whether there was really something in the cave. However, Fan Yong thought that Tan Si was making a fuss, so he sneered and said, "I guess it's just the blood stains left by the mutant rats in the cave biting each other. Are you trying to scare others to death by making such a fuss?"

"I, I'm not..." Qin Si was about to explain something when she found that her face was suddenly splashed with some sticky liquid. Before she could come to her senses, she found Qin Cong's head fell to the ground. She was so shocked that she ran back.

Speaking of Fan Yong, the moment Qin Cong's head was separated for no reason, the man beside Qin Cong and Fan Yong were terrified. In front of them, there was a monster whose body was completely black and whose shape could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of empty eyes were looking at them, and when it breathed, it made a "click...click..." sound, similar to the sound coming out from between teeth.

After holding his breath, Fan Yong immediately turned around and ran. His instinct for survival made him run forward without a start or an end. He had a feeling that if he didn't leave here now, he would definitely not live to see tomorrow.

The other man was probably thinking the same thing at this time, but he chose the opposite direction of Fan Yong, and his reaction speed was much slower than Fan Yong. He originally wanted to run behind Qin Si, but he lost his flashlight while running. After losing the light, the man panicked even more, and even found that his legs were shaking. It was really because the incident happened suddenly. No one could have expected that a living life would disappear from their sight in an instant. Even at the last moment when Qin Cong's head was separated, he saw a smile on his face. Even Qin Cong himself probably didn't expect that he would be killed in the next moment.

The man didn't run very fast, so he could even clearly feel that something was following him.

Perhaps because he was in a panic and had no idea where to go, the man stumbled and realized that he had passed by another place that looked like a small corridor when he came here before. Relying on his last impression, the man groped the stone wall on the right with both hands and ran for about five minutes before he finally touched the small corridor he had seen before when he used the flashlight to shine.

The man was delighted, and his instinct for survival made him regard this place as his last place to survive. He took a big step and jumped into the tunnel.

The entrance to this corridor is very small, estimated to be only about 60 centimeters wide, and its length is unknown. However, based on the topographical features of the caves below that are connected in many places, this place may be connected to other corridors.

Fortunately, the man was relatively thin, so he only had to curl up his body slightly and completely fit himself into the passage.

The man rushed in like crazy, especially as the "click...click" sound behind him became clearer and clearer.

Just when the man thought he could finally escape, his fingertips suddenly touched something hard in front of him.

This realization made the man's face show despair, fear and helplessness, and the emotions that he had been trying to suppress before burst out at this moment.

"No, impossible, impossible, impossible, isn't this a corridor? Why is there no road ahead? No, no, it must not be like this." The man's voice trembled uncontrollably, and his nails scratched fiercely on the unclear rock wall in front of him. However, no matter how he scratched, his fingertips only touched the hard rock layer. There was simply a blocked road ahead. Rather than a corridor, it was more like a cave that was only about five or six meters deep.

The hair-raising "click...click" sound soon rang out again from behind him. The sound seemed to burst out slowly from his throat. It was particularly clear in the long and narrow underground corridor, and made the man realize that at this moment he was the only one here with the mutant monster.

The monster's black eyes reflected the man's terrified and desperate face as he turned around in the darkness. Finally, accompanied by a crisp "click" sound, all that could be seen was the man's tragic death with his head tilted and his eyes wide open.

Fan Yong kept running forward, and he didn't know how long he had been running. The originally narrow corridor suddenly became several times wider, and the vision was much better than before. Only then did he realize that there was a faint light in front of him.

When Fan Yong saw the light, he initially thought it was Chen Yanxi and his group who had separated from them. Then, thinking that there were people with superpowers on the opposite side, he was surprised and happy. Now he finally found a life-saving straw.

So Fan Yong quickened his pace and ran forward. As the view in front became wider and wider, Fan Yong noticed that the light source did not come from a flashlight or a torch at all, but from the strange stones of different sizes inlaid on the rock wall on one side.

The stones emit a light green luster, which at first glance looks a bit like fireflies at night, and you can feel a sense of warmth when you get close to them.

These are the energy stones that are extremely precious to those with special abilities, and they are also what Tan Cong and Fan Yong and his gang want to obtain this time.

Fan Yong found the energy stone by accident. His original fear was overwhelmed by excitement and joy. He couldn't help but stretch out his hands to touch the stone in front of him. He could feel the warmth as soon as his fingertips touched it, and there was still temperature in his hand. The surface of the stone was very smooth, and it felt extremely comfortable to hold in his palm.

Fan Yong immediately took the small backpack he was carrying in his hand, and began to pick up the energy stones embedded in the rock wall with the other hand.

Soon the entire backpack was filled with energy stones, and the backpack, which was originally light, became heavy.

Fan Yong weighed the backpack for a moment, and it was difficult to carry it with one hand. The backpack must be about 30 to 40 kilograms. Carrying it on his back would indeed affect his speed. But he thought that he had risked his life to come down here for these energy stones. If he didn't take more, he wouldn't be able to make more nutrient solution. Besides, they were all dead. Some were missing, and the whole team was scattered. Besides, he didn't know whether the few people who had parted ways before had successfully returned to the ground. If they did, they would definitely put all the responsibility for going down the cave on him. At that time, the image and good impression he had established with the residents of the community would plummet, and he might even become the object of criticism in the community. Therefore, he had to use these energy stones to turn himself into a superpower as soon as possible.

Once I become a person with special powers, those who doubt and look down on me will shut up.

However, what Fan Yong didn't know was that while he was trying his best to collect energy stones, danger was slowly approaching him.

Because a lot of energy stones were picked, the cave became dark again. At this time, a white shadow appeared above the rock wall. After Fan Yong noticed the movement above his head, he immediately turned around sensitively and saw more white shadows appearing in the darkness.

Fan Yong subconsciously wanted to escape, but unfortunately he was a step too late because more white monsters appeared in the cave.

Accompanied by a series of tragic screams, the sound of stones rolling was suddenly covered up by a chewing sound. Soon the cave returned to calm again and the white shadows quickly disappeared again.
