Chapter 198 Fall!

"Captain?"

Tiger was silent for a moment, then looked at You, "Are there any clues?"

"There are traces of human footsteps."

There was a slight silence, as everyone waited for Tiger's decision.

For some reason, Dashan felt his palms sweating, as if he was waiting for a trial.

He hoped that everyone would go together, but he could not take the initiative to say it out loud for fear of affecting Tiger's judgment.

After a long silence, thinking of Bai'e's private words about the instructions he had received from his instructor and the sniper god Carlos, Tiger decided to be safe, "Let's go together."

The efficiency should be slower, but the first thing to consider is to ensure everyone's safety and the success rate of the mission.

"Huh~" Dashan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more relaxed in an instant.

The "imagination" that was like an illusion just now always made his heart feel like it was lifted up by an invisible hand, unable to go down or up.

A faint uneasiness always echoed in his chest, and only when he was with his teammates could he rely on the warmth of his teammates to dispel it.

"Let's go."

The team once again fell into an exploration as quietly as possible.

The fine special sand fell on the waist of the last mountain like an hourglass, forming a clear track line in the night vision device to let everyone know what route they have taken so as not to get lost.

Everyone still tried to reduce the noise as much as possible, and the skills of hiding came in handy again.

Bai'e's footsteps were so light that they were almost unnoticeable, and You and Song Ying were no less.

Only Hu's footsteps were slightly heavy, but they also could not bring people peace of mind.

Here it comes...

Here it comes again...

That feeling, it comes again...

Dashan only felt that his breathing was a little uncomfortable. The teammates walking in front were walking faster and faster, while his legs seemed to be as heavy as lead.

He was eager to catch up, but he couldn't move quickly.

He stretched out his hand, but he couldn't touch his teammates' backs.

He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what blocked his mouth and vocal cords so that he could only open his mouth silently.

"Plop~"

"Plop~"

The spiritual world was dark and ethereal, and his heartbeat was infinitely amplified in his mind.

Faster and faster...

Fast and faster...

The wind above his head swept across the earth, blowing a wail like a ghost.

The world was zooming away from him, and he seemed to be an inconspicuous grain of sand in the endless darkness, losing his color, losing his personality, losing his will, losing... everything about himself.

He was about to be forever integrated into this...darkness.

"Zizizizi~"

The voice suddenly sounded with noise, and Dashan, who was expecting, waited for salvation, but only heard a long scream.

"Ah~~~~"

"Help...Kacha~"

It was like the slower flow of consciousness was enough to hear the tone changes in every byte, and the screams from other team members passed slowly in his mind.

This sound from the fall of his teammates completely broke the last line of defense.

The moment the scream rang out, Dashan, who realized that someone had been killed, felt that every nerve in his brain seemed to be provoked by someone.

The entire top of his head seemed to be blown off in an instant, and a tremor that penetrated deep into his soul instantly invaded his whole body, and his whole body was instantly numb as if he was electrocuted.

He tried to reach out his hand, hoping to get salvation from his teammates.

In his sight...

Teammate, all stopped moving.

...

"Woo~"

The sound of the wind in the wilderness never stopped.

In the narrow tunnel, it seemed that only his breathing was as quiet as the sound of his own breathing. The slight rustling sound of each step made his heart tremble as if it fell on the tip of his heart.

If any step made a slightly louder movement, it would be as if it violated some taboo law and made people feel uneasy.

Bai'e, who was slightly absent-minded while walking, blinked his eyes, as if he had sensed the scream that was about to come out of the headset in advance.

"Ah!"

"Help... Kacha~"

Something happened!

Bai'e's heart trembled, and he woke up instantly from a semi-dizzy state.

It was the other team, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at his teammates.

But they found that everyone was maintaining a strange "movement in progress". Hu's body stretched forward half a step straightly, and his footsteps stopped in the air. The whole person was like a stone statue.

Song Ying held the machine gun in his arms with both hands, as if he was going to fight, but he was also frozen there.

The last mountain was like a drowned dead person, stretching his hand forward as much as possible in a strange posture as if half floating in the water. His fingertips were trying so hard to touch the front, but the tip of the longest middle finger finally stopped less than three centimeters away from Song Ying's back.

You, who was half a step in front of him...

A small hand wearing a glove suddenly came into his palm, and the painful and thin voice like suffocation came into Bai'e's ears intermittently.

"Hurry... go..."

"You?"

Bai'e waved the small hand stuffed in his palm, and You's whole arm also swayed gently.

However, the stiff body has also been frozen forever.

Teammates... all stopped moving.

There was also silence in the voice.

No one questioned the comrade who had just screamed.

Everyone remained in a dead silence.

Everyone... was motionless.

They had fallen...

In just a moment, a sharp chill spread from the heels all the way to Bai'e's entire back.

The pores all over his body contracted, and the hairs on his body stood up.

"Woo~"

The only sound was the whistling wind above his head.

It was like the howling of a beast before its death, and also like the whimpering of a human in despair.

What happened! What happened!

Bai'e gritted his teeth to ensure that his lips would not tremble due to the fear of his body.

His mind was blank and dark, and Bai'e didn't even have time to analyze the situation and decision in front of him.

This can't go on!

Self-restraint... Self-restraint!

Bai'e, who realized that he had not fallen yet, tried to remember his trump card.

The factor of fear was running around in his body, and self-restraint was like a soldier arresting bandits all over the city, but the fear was getting more and more... more and more...

It was like pouring into his head from the air, and the boundless darkness and fear poured into his body together, trying to bury him completely.

"Pah! Pah!"

Bai'e slapped himself hard twice, and the pain made him slightly sober for a short time.

Can't stay here!

Get out!

Carlos is right. As long as you don't die, collecting intelligence and returning is also a way to complete the mission.

There is something wrong with this slum!

There is a problem!

There is something wrong with it!

He picked up You's light and stiff body by the waist, and tried to pick up Tiger's body with his left hand.

However, his muscles, which were sore from fear, went limp, and the two bodies he had picked up fell instantly.

I can't hold them...

Run by yourself...

Leave here...

Leave this cave!

The disappearance of the previous batches of scouts was not a careless accident. Here... there is a great crisis that ordinary people can hardly imagine!

Bring the intelligence back! Bring the intelligence back!

Bai'er's mind was temporarily stagnant, and only a short thought played in a loop for a while.

Run!

The trajectory of the way here showed a clear guide under the night vision goggles.

He didn't care about hiding or moving. The only thing he could consider at the moment was to leave this cave as soon as possible.

The mask of the night vision device held back his heavy breathing, and hot steam covered his face.

Escape...

It was also an escape.

The darkness became thicker, and the violent heartbeat and heavy breathing filled Bai'e's consciousness.

"Plop! Plop!"

It seemed that there was an unknown prehistoric beast approaching step by step behind him. The closer Bai'e ran to the cave entrance, the smaller he felt compared to the whole world.

The heavy stones and the world seemed to be a restraint on his body, making him breathless.

"Swish~"

Bai'e slipped and almost fell after stepping out of the cave passage.

He staggered to his feet and ran straight to the car parked not far away.

Open the car door... Start the ignition...

Bai'e, who performed all the actions, only felt that his hands were shaking all the time, and the silent fear was constantly eroding his heart.

At a certain moment, the hand holding the steering wheel suddenly paused.

Bai'e slowly raised his head, staring blankly at the dark night in front of him——

In the boundless wilderness, those strange-shaped rocks outlined a strange and hideous appearance under the black shadow.

The natural wind tunnel played a primitive roar for the originally silent wind.

As if his soul had left his body, Bai'e's thoughts rose rapidly from his eyes and floated towards the boundless sky.

The earth seemed farther and farther away in front of him, and his tiny body seemed like a drop in the ocean.

"Plop~"

"Plop~"

In the silence, Bai'e heard his heartbeat slowly calming down.

A seed of fear took root deeply in his heart.

Escape?

Escape as you like.

You can escape from the present, but not from the heart.

When the seed has been planted, all escape behaviors become the best nutrients to nourish fear.

Maybe on the way...

Maybe back to the camp...

In the future...Maybe tomorrow...Maybe when he wakes up the next morning...

He will regret why he abandoned everything because of the unknown fear.

Escape?

[With your firm will, you successfully passed a "mental test". ]

[You successfully passed a confrontation test in the field of mysticism, mysticism +0.1. ]

Until the self-consciousness awakened from the boundless fear, the prompt of successful confrontation quietly jumped out on the panel.

This kind of passive confrontation may happen at any time, and the prompt on the panel cannot be used as a source of early warning information.

Bai'e raised his head and looked forward with a blank look.

In the silent darkness, a pair of malicious eyes seemed to condense, staring at him and smiling quietly...

Fear, not entirely his own fear.

In the brief moment just now, Bai'e sensed the fear imposed on him from other wills-

A group of ragged refugees, holding dry crutches, climbed to the top of one of the wind caves with difficulty.

The uninhabited gray wilderness stretched to the horizon like a curtain in front of him.

The glow of the city could not shine into the wilderness...

Even those glows took the initiative to expel these gray people.

The sky is wide and the earth is big, but there is no place to stay.

What will the future be like?

What will life be like?

Every child who falls asleep in a dark cave with the whistling wind swallows confusion, fear, coldness and hunger together.

The demon rooted in fear has shown its fangs, and its roots have penetrated into the hearts of every living being that comes here.

The farther you flee, the more your seeds bloom.

There is no point in escaping from a physical distance. If you can't face it, you will eventually sink no matter where you go.

This is an enemy that you must face yourself!

"Hu~"

Bai'er exhaled gently, as if all the fear was dissolved into this breath and exhaled out of the body.

Turn off the engine, get off the car, and close the door.

Bai'er did all this slowly, and stepped forward...

The unknown crypt was waiting quietly in the dark.

Be a fool who challenges the windmill.

Recklessness is closer to courage than caution...
