sunk in yesterday

The black iron gate at the entrance of the hospital was covered with a crack, and messy footprints covered the muddy ground under his eyes, as if someone had just been here.

Guan Yuzhou glanced at the string of water-filled marks, and slowed down his pace.

"This is the group of participants who were with us." Chu Jin said while stepping on the water splash.

"Well, it seems that we can meet them as much as possible." Yu Ziang pushed the frame of the glasses, lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped the water on the lenses.Seeing Chu Jin's puzzled and disgusted face, he explained: "We need to integrate the clues. We don't have all the clues now, so let's see if they have anything we are missing."

"Since they chose to enter the forest, they should also have some information. It will be a matter of time before they meet." Guan Yuzhou said lightly: "Let's find someone first according to the plan."

"Okay." Chu Jin scratched the puppy's chin twice, and put it on the ground.

Although one leg was injured, the medicine was effective enough to bring it back to a lively state, wagging its tail and circling around the person non-stop.

Chu Jin took the necklace, the small black nose of the Pomeranian moved, howled at the pitch-black forest, and then rushed out quickly.

This is not the first time to enter the forest, but it is the first time on a rainy island. The biting chill mixed with the cold wind blows across the cheeks. The soft rain seems to be sharp ice blades, hitting the bare skin painfully.

The edge of the shoe was covered with mud within two strokes, and even the steps of lifting and falling became heavy.Umbrellas have become redundant and necessary contradictory bodies. Under the pressure of the rain, the arms are sore, but at the same time they become the only protective shield.

The sound of the bell guides the direction, and the strange tones are played in a loop in the open and crowded space.

Not far away, the surroundings suddenly became quiet again.

In order to divert attention, Chu Jin, who was still complaining about the school tutor with Yu Ziang, didn't notice any changes, and stopped when he saw Guan Yuzhou stopped and refused to leave.

The leaves kept twisting and twisting with the wind, and there was a strange babbling sound out of nowhere as they rubbed against each other.Several people paused in place for a moment, and the flashlight shone around, and Chu Jin couldn't bear the atmosphere and said, "...where is the dog?"

"Hiding." Guan Yuzhou said.

Animals are many times more sensitive to their surroundings than humans, and a sudden stop may be a sign of a dangerous factor.Sure enough, two seconds after Guan Yuzhou finished speaking, a distorted shadow swayed into the range illuminated by the light of the flashlight.

It seemed to be looking for something, stepping on the broken leaves all over the ground, the obviously ill-fitting trouser legs were dragging behind, and the thin cloth wrapped its thin and inhuman figure.

The cold light of the sharp knife constantly dazzled the eyes, and no matter how cold the rain was, it could not hide the smell of the rotting corpse. The sunken eye sockets and the outline of the protruding nose could be seen under the coarse cloth that was tightly seamed with the skin.

The hissing sound overflowed from its mouth, but there was no warm white gas in the cold air. This was a dead man who could only breathe out but not inhale.

Losing his eyes made him unable to see the existence of living people in front of him, but various natural sounds could confuse his hearing, but the duration was only 2 minutes.

By the time I realized this, 2 minutes had passed.

No one made a sound, they held their breath and became statues.The dead man tilted his head, dragged his heels against the pile of leaves, and moved straight towards Chu Jin, who was neither near nor far away.

Chu Jin was taken aback. He thought the monster couldn't see anyone and would leave as long as he waited for a while.But seeing the distance between the two sides getting closer, his scalp tingled. At the critical moment, Yu Ziang bent down and picked up a stone and threw it at a tree trunk beside him. A series of movements made the monster pause slightly.

But something even more suffocating happened. More identical "corpses" appeared one after another behind trees of varying thickness.Like sharks smelling blood, they approached in unison.

"Turn off the lights!" Guan Yuzhou realized the problem.

His voice was particularly obvious, not only attracting the monster's attention, but also startled Chu Jin, who hurriedly retracted the flashlight, turning everything around him into darkness.

My eyes couldn't adapt to the environment for a while, and I couldn't tell whether it was the enemy who was in the dark, or both sides were blind.Chu Jin heard his own heartbeat in a daze, and the thumping became more and more intense, wondering whether the movement of blood flowing in the blood vessels could also be captured.

No one could hear the sound, and it was impossible to judge how far these things were from themselves from the sound of footsteps.Maybe tens of meters, a few meters, maybe they have passed by, and they have returned to safety.

Guan Yuzhou suddenly took a step back.

The wind blew past his forehead, carrying an unpleasant smell, forcing his throat to crinkle.

A thunder tore through the heavy clouds that covered the sky, and the lightning that whizzed by in an instant illuminated the color of the water that was close at hand, and a "person" stood face to face with him, the cloth around his neck was torn to reveal The ashen skin, the cut cross-section is full of whitish flesh tissue.

"Heh, heh—" Hearing the breathing of the stranger, the monster's throat made an excited inhalation sound.It rushed forward suddenly, and after the body stopped metabolizing, the remaining auxin gathered on the nails and other points in a large amount. At first glance, it looked as sharp as holding a dozen sharp blades in its hands.

In the blink of an eye, the night once again blinded people's sight.

Chu Jin heard the sound of himself gasping for breath, but the sound was completely covered by Yu Ziang's palm, and he could only swallow it into his stomach.He didn't know what would happen in a short time. Messy raindrops fell silently on the umbrella, and then the bell rang again.

The little white dog was trembling in fear, and was pulled out of the weeds by its tail.The man who controlled him didn't have the slightest sense of pity, and never paid much attention to it from the beginning to the end. He only hid behind a tree and squinted his eyes to look at the land where he was standing.

A piece of rag more than one meter long was covered on the protruding stone. The red mark was soaked in water, and the bright paint was gradually blurred. At first glance, it almost looked like a person.

Guan Yuzhou put away the crayons, and put the wooden knife that cut his clothes back into his pocket.The rumbling thunder was muffled above his head, and the rain would increase at any moment. Holding his black umbrella, he raised his chin towards the two people more than ten meters away, and urged, "Let's go."

The dead people behind were scrambling for the graffiti-painted cloth, no matter how strong the material was, it could not withstand the rubbing and tearing of dozens of hands.

Chu Jin looked back at the figures behind him, and asked Guan Yuzhou in surprise and joy: "When will you be ready?"

"When you guessed the effect of the graffiti." Guan Yuzhou said, "It's just that there is no finishing touch. I just added a touch just now. This cloth can't be fooled for too long. You can stay as far away as you can now."

Chu Jin nodded again and again. He patted his chest that was rising and falling too fast just now, and then looked at the little dog who was faintly struggling. Turtle, we can use it when the time comes."

"I've tried it." Guan Yuzhou shook his head, "No way."

The bell and the Pomeranian seemed to have become a firmly welded iron chain, or a part brought down together from the mother's womb, tightly glued to its fur.

"Forget it, even if it can't take us to find its owner, then we can't cut off its tail." Chu Jin sighed fiercely, seeing the puppy tremble, as if he really understood what he said.Just about to say a few words about this casually, when he turned his head, he saw Guan Yuzhou was fumbling with his head down, making some trivial noises from time to time.

He moved half a step forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

"rope."

Chu Jin opened his eyes wider in surprise: "Where did we get the rope? Besides, since there is a rope, why didn't it be used before?"

"Because I didn't have it before, but now I have it." Guan Yuzhou tied the last knot in twos and twos, and put the slender linen cloth around the little white dog's neck, with a lingering fishy smell on the top.

Yu Ziang glanced at it, and asked, "What are the leftovers from cutting the figure?"

Guan Yuzhou hummed.

Chu Jin was still wondering: "Where did you get the cloth for that figure just now? It looks like a big piece."

Yu Ziang said, "It's a sack temporarily used to shelter from the rain this morning."

"Oh, I remembered." Chu Jin suddenly realized, "I thought he would throw it away when he ran out..."

Yu Ziang put his index finger to his lips, interrupting his words: "Shhh—"

Chu Jin curled his mouth, turned around and muttered in a low voice: "I know, I know, why are you so impatient to answer my question?"

The reason why Yu Ziang told him to shut up was nothing else but that the Pomeranian rushed eastward as soon as it landed, as if something was chasing after it.It was convenient for it to trot, shuttling between the bushes and close-fitting tree trunks, but it was difficult for the three men following behind.

After such a trip, the umbrella became a burden instead, and he simply ran in the rain.

The dog ran for almost 10 minutes after running like this, and several people followed for 10 minutes non-stop.

After finally stopping to be able to rest his feet, he coughed out the air he had breathed into his lungs again.

The light flashed by, and the scene was instantly imprinted in everyone's mind.

Chu Jin didn't dare to step forward, "Why...so many employees in the courtyard died?"

The Pomeranian kept sniffing the ground.It seemed to have lost its direction, and it didn't know where to go for a moment. It kept turning in circles, fiddled with the mud with one front paw, and whined weakly in its mouth. The traction rope tied around its neck Also wobbly.

And the corpses in uniform uniforms were lying under the tree, all of them died tragically, the neck was twisted by something, and the head and body were dislocated and twisted, the blood was washed away by the rain or there was no time to flow out. The surroundings look clean.

Guan Yuzhou turned on the flashlight, walked around the corpse, glanced into the distance, and then turned off the flashlight.He pushed back his wet hair, and within two seconds, the soil under his feet suddenly felt a vibration.

Mud volcanic eruption dripped from the top of the protruding mound, and the tall figure crawled out of the ground stiffly, as if breaking out of a cocoon.

No one expected that something would come out from under his feet, Chu Jin hurriedly took out his gun.

The constant rain quickly washed the living corpse out of its original appearance. It was completely different from what they had imagined. It was not covered by a black cloth. Its naked upper body was already bloated by water, but the bald top of its head was very eye-catching.

This is the night watchman they are looking for - Yan Liang.

Even if it is unarmed, no one doubts that the body will be weak.

"Brother, can you still understand human language?" Chu Jin pointed a gun at it while trying to ask questions.

Yan Liang didn't respond, its eyes rolled white, and when it stepped on a puddle, the bones on its body seemed to be dislocated and failed to reorganize, and it made a strange rattling sound every time it took a step.

"How can we get him to give us the key to the lighthouse if we can't communicate?"

Guan Yuzhou was silent for a moment, and said: "Then kill and find."

Seeing the huge body getting closer and closer, Chu Jin groped for a long time but failed to load it, and shouted loudly: "He was already dead, how do you kill him?"

Yu Ziang snatched the pistol and pulled the trigger. The bullet shot out with a bang, clearly hitting his chest, but was blocked by the thick flesh, and fell into the ditch all at once.

"Lead." Guan Yuzhou's expression remained unchanged.

Yu Ziang listened to his words and raised his wrist up a little.He also seldom uses a gun. After all, there are very few dreams with a gun. Fortunately, although the shot was sideways than expected, it stuck to the left brow bone and sank into the head.

Yan Liang staggered a step, the whites of his eyes were gradually covered with bloodshot streaks.Black blood flowed down the hole and into the eyes, but it was not affected at all, it was only restrained for a few seconds, and moved again.

"Why is this the same as the zombies in the movie!" Chu Jin gripped Yu Ziang's clothes tightly, "Bullets are useless, so what else can be done now?"

Guan Yuzhou asked, "Are there any bullets?"

"I still have more." Yu Ziang threw back the two guns that had run out of bullets to Chu Jin, and took out his own.

Guan Yuzhou nodded: "Keep shooting at its head."

"When?"

"Count silently for three seconds, and run in the opposite direction after shooting."

"it is good."

Three seconds is not a long time, but it is very short for them now.These three seconds were enough for Yan Liang to get very close to them, to the distance where he could punch them through with just raising his hand.

three……

two……

One!

Yu Ziang held the handle of the gun with both hands, curled his right index finger inward, and the third bullet shot out in response, hitting the right brow bone.

While it paused again, Guan Yuzhou quickly walked around behind it, holding a wooden knife and cut the slightly bulging pocket on the right side of its trousers.

A small cracked jade bead was tied to the antique-looking silver key, which fell into the palm of his other hand.

At the same moment, a severe pain came from his shoulder, making him dazed for a moment.

Painkillers don't work.

The pain drained his strength in the blink of an eye and interrupted his movements.The key fell into the pothole and was instantly submerged in stagnant water.The night watchman, who had been provoked repeatedly, was also completely enraged. It turned around and grabbed Guan Yuzhou to the ground.

Chu Jin screamed from behind, Yu Ziang loaded the gun decisively, but hesitated again.

This is the last bullet.

He didn't trust his marksmanship. After firing the third shot, he and Chu Jin had already escaped for a certain distance, and the environment was dim and dark. It may not be Yan Liang who shot so far away now.

Guan Yuzhou couldn't breathe smoothly, the heavy hand was pressing on his neck, and the gunshot wound was soaked in water, the pain made half of his body paralyzed and lost consciousness.But even so, he took out that small lady's pistol and aimed it between Yan Liang's eyebrows.

Now I can only gamble on whether the weakness of this thing is here, but he can't exert his strength at all.

"Hurry up and shoot!" Chu Jin became more and more anxious as he watched.

Yu Ziang didn't speak.

"You damn...you will die if you don't shoot, maybe you can still live if you shoot!" Chu Jin kicked him and snatched the gun away, "If you don't come, I will come!"

Yu Ziang didn't expect that he would strike directly, before he could loosen his grip, the gun went off with a "bang".

Chu Jin: "..."

Yu Ziang: "..."

The bullet shot obliquely into the haystack, and it was more than ninety degrees away from the direction of Yan Liang and Guan Yuzhou.

Just in a daze, a gray ball jumped up from the haystack, running and screaming as if frightened.

jingle - jingle -

The hand that was pressing on him loosened.

Guan Yuzhou coughed and was about to shoot when Yan Liang wobbled and turned his head.

The Pomeranian threw himself into its arms and licked its arms.

Those thick hands, which almost broke Guan Yuzhou's neck just now, landed gently on the puppy's head.

Yan Liang touched it stiffly but expertly.

Then slowly got up from the ground, hugged the dog and turned to leave.

After not taking two steps, the Pomeranian jumped out of its arms again, and returned to Guan Yuzhou's side, as if wanting to hug his palm hanging on the ground, but was afraid in his heart, crouched down and flung it away timidly. Tail flick.

jingle--

With just such a slight swing, the bell, which could not be removed no matter how hard it was taken before, fell to the ground.

The Pomeranian barked at him and returned to his owner. One person and one dog quickly disappeared into the forest.
