?

  I suddenly felt that something was off and said, "Let's not talk about who raised these things for now. This thing eats corpses to grow up, and its appetite is huge. If this is a corpse belt, the number of corpses inside is limited. How can these things still exist after thousands of years without becoming extinct?"

  Passerby A seemed stunned, then suddenly smiled and said: "You're finally smart for once." Next, he looked at the river surface again, shining a strong light into the river. I felt a chill on my scalp - this guy, wouldn't he lead us to dive into the river?

  Obviously, passerby A didn't have such a frightening idea. He shone his flashlight on the murky river surface for a while before giving up and then turned to examine the surrounding stone walls with strong light, saying: "Where would these things hide their food?" He muttered to himself, clearly not expecting me to answer. But just as his flashlight swept by, I noticed that there seemed to be something in the upper part of the stone wall. I hastily pressed down on passerby A's hand and said: "Wait, look over there."

  Passerby A suddenly shone a light towards the place where my fingers were pointing. Due to the stable illumination, the things above gradually became visible. It was a huge hole that had been smashed out on the stone wall. Looking up from here, it seemed like the open mouth of a monster, looking somewhat ferocious.

  At this time, Siyan shouted: "What to do, can't hold on anymore." Passerby A held up his gun with one hand and made a gesture to me to climb up. Immediately after that, he quickly inserted himself beside Siyan, pushing Dr. Zhang and others backward, the meaning was very clear, he let us retreat first, he covered the back.

  There's a strange feeling in my heart, when did passerby A become so selfless? But at this time, those zombies were already very close, and passerby A's shooting skills were good, but after all, he couldn't hold out for long against the crowd. I didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and started climbing up the stone wall.

  The surface of this black stone wall was uneven, although the texture was smooth, but it was easy to climb. The five of us put away our weapons and climbed up like geckos, with our hands and feet stuck to the wall, exerting ourselves upwards. Since we couldn't turn on our flashlights, we could only proceed in the faint light from the hand lamp on Roujin's body. The black hole at the top was still unclear for a while, and the more I climbed up, the more I doubted whether what I saw earlier was just an illusion.

  Just as the intense gunfire was going on, I suddenly heard a splash, and it seemed like something had fallen into the water. My heart skipped a beat, and a thought suddenly occurred to me - could this passerby A be doing it on purpose? Had he deliberately let us climb up the stone wall while he himself might have already found an exit in the river?

  Subconsciously lowering his head to take a look, he could only see a faint halo below, and passerby A was still holding the gun, but at this time, he was being pressed by that group of zombies, with his back almost stuck to the stone wall.

  Passerby A didn't run away, so what's with the splashing sound just now?

  He didn't give me much room to think, and the passerby A couldn't resist looking at him, quickly putting away his gun and starting to climb up the stone wall. I really don't know what kind of training he has received, his movements are as agile as a monkey jumping in the mountains, and he is about to catch up with me in no time. Meanwhile, the corpses below were piled up around the stone wall, apparently this thing hadn't reached the level of being able to climb rocks yet.

  Before I could rejoice, another stunning thing happened. Those corpses, although they didn't climb up, stretched out their hands hidden in their abdomens and climbed up along the stone wall. Their arms seemed to be endlessly long, and in almost an instant, they had climbed up five or six meters.

  Because passerby A was walking in the back, they first stretched out their hands to pull passerby A's leg. This kid is easy to deal with. After one foot was caught, the muscles on both arms bulged violently, and the ten fingers tightly grasped the stone wall. The trapped foot left the stone wall, stretched flat in mid-air, and then quickly kicked again, straight towards the mountain wall. What the... Is he trying to hurt himself?

  What surprised me was that as the pedestrian kicked the mountain wall, the corpse wrapped around him was blown up by this force and slammed into the mountain wall with a loud noise. Suddenly, the skin burst open and a black red blood spurted out. Then, the hand holding the pedestrian also fell down vertically, like a kite with a broken string.

  The crowd watched in stunned silence, and Passerby A, seeing that we were all frozen in place, let out a sound of impatience and suddenly quickened his pace. It was only then that I came to my senses, realizing that I had been staring blankly just now. Damn it, how embarrassing! This time, I've got to catch up with the oil bottle, and I must make him my master.

  More and more arms appeared on the mountain wall, all of which were heading towards the crowd climbing on the stone wall. Those things seemed to be intelligent, as if they knew that passerby A was difficult to deal with, and surprisingly bypassed him, instead stretching out towards us.

  As I was the first to climb up, I reached the hole fastest. In the darkness, I couldn't see the environment inside the hole and turned around to pull the people behind me. Old Sun had good physical strength and was pulled up second. The remaining four were lined up third, about six meters away from the hole where I was.

  Passerby A inserted the flashlight into his chest, a straight and strong beam of light shot from his chest to the top of the cave, as if opening up a golden highway. Surrounded by this light, there were also the German beauty and Four Eyes. I suddenly discovered that Dr. Zhang was gone.

  Where did that woman go?

  I thought it was too dark, she climbed to the wrong position, and I quickly called out: "Dr. Zhang." No one answered me, but instead, the German beauty let out a scream: "Ah, I've been caught!" As soon as her voice fell, her whole body was pulled down by a dry, purple hand, this thing's strength is something I've personally experienced before, when I encountered it, I almost didn't have the strength to fight back, let alone a woman.

  The German beauty was suddenly pulled down for several meters, but she clung tightly to the rock wall, her pretty face rubbing against the mountain wall all the way down. I could almost imagine what that beautiful face would look like, and at once I couldn't bear it anymore, pulling out my gun and firing wildly at that arm.

  My shooting skills may not be as good as Bai Fa's, but there were many hands, and the target was big, making it easy to aim. Several shots hit their mark, and that thing let out a pained cry, releasing its grip on the German beauty's leg. Little Dragon Girl immediately scrambled up with all her might.

  Because of being dragged by the corpse, Xiaolongnv was now at the back. The remaining arms were all rushing towards her like they had seen a little fat sheep. I could almost imagine the German beauty being covered by the corpse. My scalp felt numb and I grabbed Laotou's clothes, saying: "The rope! Is there any rope?"

  Lao Sun's expression remained indifferent, slowly opening his equipment bag with an attitude that made people want to hit him. It was as if the German beauty who was now in trouble had nothing to do with him. Although I was angry, I couldn't bring myself to abandon her, and besides, everyone on this journey was a force to be reckoned with. But this German beauty sometimes seemed quite naive and innocent, and compared to Lao Sun and his ilk, I actually had a pretty good impression of her.

  Old Sun took out a long climbing rope, in the darkness, I felt like throwing down the rope and shouting to Little Dragon Girl: "Hold on..." Little Dragon Girl raised her head, suddenly startling me, that beautiful face was all scratched with bloodstains, bloody and blurry, at first glance, I thought it was a bloody corpse raising its head.

  She quickly grabbed the rope, and at this time, Sisi also climbed up the wall of the cave. The three of us big men were more than enough to pull a woman up, and under our joint efforts, the German beauty was almost pulled into the cave with the speed of an elevator. Just as she was about to be pulled in, Passerby A's hand suddenly grasped the wall of the cave, and with one exertion of force, he flipped into the entrance of the cave.

  As the pedestrian A came in, a strong light suddenly shot into the cave. It was only then that I saw clearly that there were many stone pillars at the entrance of the cave, just like the stalactites in the limestone cave, large and small, densely standing in the cave, some hanging upside down, some slanting, strange and varied.

  Dr. Zhang didn't come up, I stuck to the entrance of the cave and called out her name again, in the dark space, except for my voice, it was as silent as death, then passerby A took out a high-intensity flashlight from his chest and also squatted at the entrance looking down, on the pitch-black stone wall, except for those still unyielding corpse hands, there was no one else.

  My heart skipped a beat, I couldn't quite put my finger on the feeling. Could it be that the splashing sound I heard earlier was Zhang accidentally falling into the water? Her foot had been injured by the corpse, making every step painful, and given the darkness and tension at the time, the possibility of her slipping and falling was very high.

  For a moment, I felt heavy in my heart. At this time, passerby A suddenly patted my shoulder and said: "They're coming up, the corpse's tentacles are very elastic and can stretch for a long distance. Let's go first."

  The German beauty was still in shock, with a blood-stained face, and fearfully said: "Why hasn't Dr. Zhang come up? Is she... is she okay?" No one answered her, and the four-eyed man shouted for Dr. Zhang several times, his eyes red with anxiety.

  Passerby A had no expression on his face, treating Xiaolongnv's words as nothing but the wind beside him. He held up his flashlight and crouched down to start walking forward. It seemed that if we didn't move soon, he wouldn't wait for us either.

  The entrance of the cave was as high as a person, but because there were many stalactites hanging upside down inside, we had to lower our heads and bend over while walking. I walked at the back, the German beauty was exhausted, stumbling along the road, her equipment bag was taken over by me. At this moment, although they were all disheveled, at least they were better than my naked self. The black substance on my body couldn't be wiped clean, it stuck to my skin, my underwear was soaked with black water, and my crotch was sticky too. I didn't know if these sticky things would harm my little brother.

  Every time I walk a certain distance, I always can't help but look back, hoping to see Mr. Zhang following up, but after walking for a long time in this passage full of stone pillars, there is no movement behind me, and even those corpses have given up on following up.

  My heart is heavy, thinking about the things that have happened along the way. First, Fatso disappeared, and I don't know if he's okay or if he's caught up. Even if he did catch up, he's alone, without food or equipment, what should we do next? This place is full of crises, with hallucinatory patterns and tiny carnivorous insects that are only a few millimeters in size. And there are also corpses here, his plump body would be coveted by all sorts of creatures.

  He's just a passerby, but he obviously didn't want me to catch up, so he deliberately shook us off in the desert, and what made me even more uneasy was that he kept mentioning my second uncle.

  Uncle Two is also involved in this matter?

  What he's looking for now, he didn't want me to find out from the start, so now that I'm following him shamelessly, what will he do? Will he make a move like in Kunlun Fight or take advantage of another opportunity to shake us off again?

  As I was thinking, I remembered what Li Lao Da and others said. Lu Ren Jia initially deliberately kept Zhang Doctor and our news from "it", seemingly not wanting it to know, so he lied to his subordinates.

  I couldn't help but get a headache, what on earth is this Qi fellow up to?

  What is the relationship between him and 'it' after all, and why do I have a feeling that he is a wallowing grass?

  Earlier, when Dr. Zhang and Siyan were surrounded by the corpse king beside the river, I originally wanted to lend a hand, but passerby A stopped me. Apparently, at that time, passerby A hoped that Dr. Zhang and others would sacrifice themselves, but if passerby A really wanted them to die, with his personality, he would have taken action himself.

  As I thought of this, a strange possibility emerged in my mind... Could it be that Roadside A was being monitored? He couldn't personally take care of Dr. Zhang and the others, so he could only make their deaths look like an accident?

  But why does passerby A hope Dr. Zhang and others die?

  A phrase suddenly flashed in my mind: murder and silence.

  At first, Dr. Zhang and others were brought together by 'it' to conduct an investigation of Yabuda, until later, the Bronze Gate incident occurred, even the oil bottle came out of the Bronze Gate, this incident disrupted the plans of Passerby A and others, and the split appeared at this time.

  Passerby A began to alienate Dr. Zhang and had already formed a murderous intention just now.

  What was that change after all?
