The seventh bridge pier was not completely disconnected from the previous bridge pier, and about one-third of the bridge deck was left connected. Wu Qiang, who was walking in front, walked carefully along the remaining bridge deck.
After coming to this bridge for a long time, he also discovered something strange. He often felt like he was being watched.
That voyeuristic gaze was cold and malicious, making people shudder.
However, he kept Li Bai's warning in mind and never looked down into the water. If you don't look, there will be no danger. He is a person who listens to advice.
With tiny steps, Wu Qiang finally passed the severely damaged bridge deck and stood on the seventh pier.
This was the last bridge pier. Through the hazy mist, Wu Qiang could already see the scenery on the other side. Those green trees and flowers and plants of different shapes were all the smell of freedom that Wu Qiang had dreamed of.
"Wu Qiang!"
When he heard someone shouting, Wu Qiang turned around subconsciously, but as he turned his body around, the scene in front of him stunned him for a moment.
I didn't know when the fog became so turbulent that it completely obscured the figures of Lu Zhangyuan and Li Bai, leaving only the outline of the two mold lakes.
"Wu Qiang, come here quickly, we have to hurry up."
Li Bai's voice came from the opposite side, and anyone could hear the urging. The figure raised his hand and waved to Wu Qiang.
"What's going on?" Li Bai looked at the empty bridge piers, and what she worried about happened.
Lu Zhangyuan's face turned pale, "I...I don't know what happened. Just now I lowered my head to stabilize the board, but when I stood up, Wu Qiang and the others were gone."
"Wu Qiang definitely didn't fall off the bridge, otherwise I could see it with my peripheral vision, and... and I didn't hear any sound of falling into the water." Lu Zhangyuan, who had regained consciousness, emphasized.
A large living person disappeared in a moment. Li Bai was looking in the direction of Heishui Village just now. She was calculating the time for the team to arrive and did not pay attention to the movement here.
Li Bai thought for a moment, then rummaged around on her body and took out the bridge diagram she found from the soldiers.
After some inspection, Li Bai gradually saw some clues. The outline of the last bridge pier was the most complicated. There were nine people-like signs surrounding the bridge pier, and the brushstrokes were similar to children's simple drawings.
But the strange thing is that these signs are all dotted lines.
There is also a big exclamation mark next to these dotted figures.
And at the bottom of the bridge pier, where the river should be, there are countless things like water plants waving, and the brushstrokes are very confusing, and you can feel the tension in the mind of the person who originally painted it.
It was obvious that the original group of soldiers also encountered trouble here.
"What's going on with these nine human figures?" Lu Zhangyuan frowned. He looked at the bridge again. The planks that Wu Qiang had moved there were still there, but the people had completely disappeared.
Slowly, Li Bai's eyes changed. She stared at the little people with dotted lines, and seemed to have found the problem. The dotted lines meant that these people were fake and did not exist, and around the piers... Li Bai's attention Seeing the twisted hands and feet of those villains, a terrible guess came to mind.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
...Sister Li, what should we do? Lu Zhangyuan was a little panicked. After all, it had been so long, and the Blood Queen's social fire team was almost here.
After a moment of silence, a look of determination appeared on Li Bai's face, "You wait here, I will go find him and come back."
"Looking for him? How... how to find him? We don't know where he is at all, and besides, he is now..." Lu Zhangyuan stopped talking and looked at the empty bridge pier. At this moment, they were already far away from the other side. It's very close. This feeling of being so close but out of reach makes people particularly desperate.
I don't know if it was to comfort Lu Zhangyuan, but Li Bai gave him a reassuring look, "I have a way. Things are not as bad as you think. Wu Qiang is not dead, he is just trapped by those things."
"Trapped..."
Without giving Lu Zhangyuan a chance to ask any more questions, Li Bai tore open his already tattered coat and roughly tied several pieces of fabric together to make a rope several meters long. He tied one end around his waist and threw the other end to Lu Zhangyuan. "Hold the rope, I may disappear after a while, but don't be afraid. If there are two slow and one fast pulls from the other end of the rope, then pull outward and show us the direction."
It seemed that Li Bai's words took Lu Zhangyuan to digest for a while, "Then Li...Sister Li, what if the rope does not come from two fast and one slow?" Lu Zhangyuan stared at Li Bai's face.
"Then you don't care about us. I'm not the one pulling the rope anymore." Li Bai behaved calmly at the time of life and death. "I hope you can calm down by then. I won't be killed by those things soon. I The people on the other side will do their best to buy you time. You can loosen the rope, but I suggest you just throw the rope under the bridge. Those things are afraid of water."
"In short, you still have choices and opportunities. Don't give up. My friend Yao Shunyu is a trustworthy person. He will definitely be able to successfully escort the Blood Queen team here. If you find him, he will definitely have a way to lead you. leave."
Just when Li Bai picked up a piece of wood and was about to try to walk over it, Lu Zhangyuan's voice suddenly came from behind, "Is it worth it?"
Li Bai was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
"Is it worth it? You take risks for a stranger. You and Wu Qiang are strangers, right?" Lu Zhangyuan asked, "No one will blame you for giving up on him."
"I asked you to build the bridge. If something happens, I should do my part. As for whether what you said is worth it..." Li Bai looked at Lu Zhangyuan's injured shoulder, "What about you? Why would you rather You don't want to betray Yao, Shun, and Yu even if you get stabbed?"
Lu Zhangyuan opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
The next second, Li Bai suddenly smiled, "Just because you blocked this knife for my friend, I will keep you alive. Don't lose hope, Lu Zhangyuan."
