Chapter 34: Those People in Old Photos(1/2)
"What should we do? Can't we get through?" I asked while lying on the ground.
The fat man hesitated a little. The peanut in front squatted under a huge rock and said to us: "We must go there. Even if he is not your father, those people should know the whereabouts of your father."
"But those dogs are shooting randomly and blindly. It will definitely be dangerous if they go forward." The fat man said.
"Let's take a detour." As he said that, Peanut pointed behind him. The three of them lowered their bodies and quickly walked through the rocks. Soon, we detoured from the gravel road and followed the path ahead.
The sound of gunfire quickly passed between the stone statues on the side.
As we got closer and closer to the sound of gunfire, we couldn't help but start to feel a little strange.
With the size of the giant bird, if it launched an attack on those people, there would definitely be movement in the air. However, we walked for a long time and did not see any black shadow flashing in the air.
The flames from the muzzle suddenly flashed in front of our eyes. For some reason, none of those people turned on the lights. But it was obvious that they did not retreat any further.
We went around and hid behind a collapsed stone statue. Bullets hit the stone statue from time to time, and stone debris flew up. We didn't dare to move at all.
After listening for a while, the fat man frowned and said, "Something seems wrong. Why are there only gunshots and screams? Then why doesn't the big bird scream?"
Peanut was also a little confused. "The air here is too quiet, it doesn't look like the traces of the giant bird just now." Peanut is right. If the giant bird is nearby, then it only needs to flap its wings to be surrounded by a strong wind.
.
At this time, shouts came from the gunshots.
"Platoon leader! The road behind is also blocked, what should I do!?" The voice was very urgent, almost ferocious. People would only shout like this when they are very desperate.
"No matter what, we have to fight them head-on now. You take a few people to look at that thing, and you must not make any trouble." The person who replied should be the platoon leader mentioned by the previous person.
Upon hearing this, the three of us couldn't help but look at each other. "What the hell, platoon leader? Aren't those people a group of older girls, but the nearby border guards?" I immediately lowered my voice and said.
"Maybe it's true," said the fat man, "From what I hear of the gunshots, it seems that many of them are submachine guns. Even if the eldest girl's group is well-equipped, they may not have these firearms."
"Hurry! Let's cover!" Behind the stone statue, the platoon leader suddenly shouted, and then the gunfire became more intensive.
Under such circumstances, we no longer dared to go out. However, the three of us listened for a long time, but no one could tell what the objects those people were shooting at with their guns were. It seemed that the things they encountered were completely silent.
The same.
When we were puzzled, suddenly, a dark green shadow flashed in front of our eyes, as if someone jumped over from the other side of the stone statue. Immediately afterwards, two or three more figures ran out.
The few people at the back worked together to carry a large box. The thing must be very heavy, and it was very difficult for the three of them to move forward.
"Move quickly." The person running in front kept urging in a low voice, and then these people disappeared from our sight.
There were rapid gunshots behind us, but the three of us were all a little stunned.
Why?
Just because of our flashlight. Originally we should have turned off the flashlight in the situation just now, but the visibility in this place was completely zero. Without lighting, we couldn't walk at all. When we hid under the stone statue, maybe
Because they were so nervous, the three of them forgot whether they should turn off their flashlights. So, when these people ran to us from behind amid the hail of bullets, our flashlights were still on.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how urgent those people are, if they suddenly see the three of us, they will definitely stop for a moment. Even if they don't ask anything, they should turn around and take a look.
However, it was as if they couldn't see us so close at hand. They didn't stop at all, and ran straight into the darkness without even looking at us.
Is it because our flashlight light is too inconspicuous? Or has their matter really reached a point where they need to ignore everything around them?
None of it was right. I immediately thought that the reaction of these people was completely abnormal.
Furthermore, those people didn’t have any lighting equipment. Where did they want to run with such a big box? I guess even if Peanut and Fatty ran twenty meters, they would definitely hit a stone pillar.
After having this idea, the gunfire behind us, which sounded like a battle, began to make us feel weird.
"Brother, there's something wrong with this, what the hell are these people..." Fatty wanted to say something, but Peanut stretched out his hand to stop him.
At this moment, the suspicion on Peanut's face was completely different from before. He asked us all to quiet down, and seemed to be focusing all his attention on his hearing.
After four or five minutes, Peanut suddenly frowned, "These sounds are repeating."
"Repeat?" I was surprised. But before I could ask anything, another hoarse shout came from behind the stone statue.
"Platoon leader! The road behind is also blocked, what should we do!?"
"No matter what, we have to fight them head on now. Take a few people to look at that thing and make sure nothing happens."
...Suddenly, Fatty and I were stunned. This conversation was no longer similar to what we heard just now. It was obviously a complete repetition. Every word, every tone, even their
The sounds all around me when I spoke were exactly the same.
"Let me go, is there no one behind us, just a repeater?" the fat man asked in surprise.
Then... "Quick! Let's cover!"...More intensive gunshots...
The three of us subconsciously turned our eyes to a place three to five meters away from us. Although I don't have a complete idea now, I can still have a premonition that something will happen in that place soon.
Less than a few seconds later, a figure flashed out from there. Although I was prepared, I was still trembling with fright when I saw his back. Following closely, there were three more people dressed the same way.
, dragging the big box out again.
Everything was just like the replay of the scene just now. Horror was written on the faces of me and the fat man, but those people still ignored us as before and hurried into the darkness.
The fat man moved a little, and I immediately knew what this guy wanted to do. He wanted to see what was happening behind the stone statue.
I held him down and said, "Don't act recklessly. Things are too strange. We have to think clearly."
Fatty also felt that he was a little impulsive, but that's not surprising. If someone hadn't deliberately played a trick on us, there would be no way to explain what we saw and what we heard.
"Have you seen the clothes of the four people just now?" Peanut said suddenly.
I thought for a moment, "It seems to be green, a bit, a bit like a military uniform."
The fat man narrowed his eyes and said, "I remembered that it was an old military uniform. It's not like no one wears it now. It's still sold in labor insurance stores, but it was already decades ago."
Peanut nodded, and then pointed at the clothes on my body. I didn't understand what he meant, "What exactly do you want to say?"
The fat man understood immediately, "Hey, yes, damn, the clothes they wear are too shabby in such a cold place. If ordinary people wear that kind of clothes, they would freeze to death very quickly in such an environment."
"So, they are definitely not human." After Peanut said this, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.
"Yes, but how can we prove it, what if there are other unexpected situations?" I said. If we say that anything we don't understand is not done by humans or is not done by humans without a certain basis, it will obviously be wrong.
That's ridiculous. Although everything that happened just now was weird, I still tried my best to think rationally.
"It's very simple." As he said that, Peanut actually stood up. Although the stone statue could still completely block him, his actions still made me a little nervous. "We'll find out when we catch one."
As soon as Peanut finished speaking, the shout from behind the stone statue appeared for the third time.
"Platoon leader! The road behind is also blocked, what should we do!?"... "No matter what, we have to fight them head-on now. You can take a few people to look at that thing. You must not
Something's wrong."..."Run quickly, we'll cover you!"..."
Fatty and I also stood up and watched Peanut move to the side. According to the previous situation, the man in military uniform would run out soon. With Peanut's move, whether the opponent is a human or a ghost, he can be
Judge it.
I suddenly felt that what Peanut was about to do was very terrifying. If the person who ran past just now was not a person, what would we see later? Will the figure directly pass through Peanut's body...
Thinking of this, the hairs on my body stood up. In the blink of an eye, the dark green figure really jumped out. With quick eyes and quick hands, Peanut reached out and grabbed the person's shoulder.
"puff......"
The sound was very soft, and it should be like this when you pat your clothes with your hands. However, if we take Peanut’s conclusion just now as the premise, this is wrong. My fingers started to feel numb, and I realized at this moment
Really, he is far more terrifying as a human than as a ghost. Because if the other person is a ghost, then we don’t have to wonder about what just happened, because the logic of ghosts is different from that of humans. But once he is a human, what happened before will be too much.
Terrible.
The moment Peanut grabbed the man's shoulder, he stopped, lowered his head slightly, and stood there frozen, not surprised, and did not turn to look at us. At the same moment, the surroundings were deathly quiet, as if just now
The gunshots are just like our hallucinations.
At this time, even Peanut didn't know how to react. I looked at the man carefully. He was not tall, his hair was very light, and his military uniform was covered with dirt. There was a trace of blood under his ears, and there was also a trace of blood on his body.
It seems wet.
The thing that most refutes Peanut's judgment is that this man's chest is rising and falling.
"Damn, he's really just a human being." The fat man said and took a flashlight to shine on that person's face.
As soon as the light flickered on his face, the fat man screamed and jumped on the spot. I was even more shocked and took several steps back. Only Peanut remained calm.
"Who are you?" Peanut asked in a low voice.
The man in military uniform did not answer. In my opinion, that man probably would not communicate normally with us. I saw that his side face was completely ulcerated and swollen, and it was covered with dark red spots, as if he had been exposed to sulfuric acid.
Just like splashing.
"Peanut, let go of him first, it may be dangerous." I said.
Peanut ignored me, still stared at the man, and asked again: "Who are you?"
The fat man frowned. Looking at him like that, he should be planning to do something. However, just as the fat man stepped forward, the person Peanut grabbed suddenly raised his head. We immediately became nervous again.
The fat man's pistol was already pointed at the man's head.
The man turned his face slightly and looked at Peanut. His mouth slowly opened, and I even saw the skin at the corners of his mouth that had been glued together cracked bit by bit.
"Who am I?" His voice seemed like an echo coming from the eighteenth level of hell, it was so low and hoarse that it made one's scalp numb.
Peanut was very close to him. I don't know why, but a look of horror slowly spread on Peanut's face. Then, his right hand that was firmly pressing on the other person's shoulder moved away bit by bit.
"You..." Peanut hesitated, as if he saw something that he couldn't believe at all. At this moment, everything about that person was in front of me, except for the remaining half of his face.
To be continued...
