The time was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhang Xiaoman was standing by a small river, looking at the scene of thick fog in front of him, frowning and meditating.
"Something's wrong...something's so wrong..." he muttered to himself.
The scene in front of me was very strange. A gray mist shrouded the front, but there was no trace of it in other surrounding areas. Speaking of fog, it can't be only the small area in front.
"It seems that there may be something weird here."
Zhang Xiaoman cheered up and moved forward slowly along the river. But it is more like a small ditch than a river. The total width is only about three meters, and the water depth is only half a meter. You can see the mud at the bottom at a glance.
This is a township located to the south of the city. It is one of the three places where strange events were reported to him by Li Xiang yesterday. Local villagers once left a message on the Internet saying that the place was filled with mist and mist, and under a small bridge, miserable and terrifying howls could often be heard.
Zhang Xiaoman originally had the attitude of giving it a try and asked the other party to help him collect information. But what surprised him was that the first place he just set out to explore seemed to be yielding something.
Looking around, there was no one else. Zhang Xiaoman activated the skill of "Sand Soldiers Appear", summoned two fully armed sand soldiers from the soil, pulled up his hood and mask, and then stepped closer. In that thick fog.
"What a stinky smell!" As soon as Zhang Xiaoman came in, he smelled a strong stench, like a rotten quagmire containing corpses, which made people almost nauseous.
When the smell was just outside the mist, it was just faint and unreal, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusting after entering. Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself, no matter what kind of monster it is, just because it dares to put such a smelly "fart", he will beat it to death.
Zhang Xiaoman reached into his pocket and took out the thermal imager he bought. After opening it, Zhang Xiaoman looked outside through the observation port. However, to his surprise, all he saw was a snowflake, and the instrument seemed to be malfunctioning.
"What's going on? It was fine when I tested it before I came here." Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled. He looked at the thermal imager back and forth and restarted it several times, but there was still no change.
Zhang Xiaoman took out his mobile phone and took a look. He was surprised to find that even the mobile phone had no images. After thinking for a moment, a somewhat surprising conjecture suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that...it's the reason for these fogs!?"
Zhang Xiaoman thought of this and took a few steps back to leave the mist. When he looked at the phone screen again, he saw that the image that had disappeared reappeared, and the thermal imager returned to normal.
"This fog can actually interfere with the operation of electronic equipment!" Zhang Xiaoman was really surprised this time. If you want to ask what weapons humans can hold in the face of these weird things, it is undoubtedly the high-tech weapon. Bring strength. But if you can't even use these, it's hard to imagine what kind of consequences humans will face when encountering monsters in the future.
The emergence of this idea made Zhang Xiaoman shudder. However, he knew that now was not the time to explore this issue, so he no longer hesitated and entered the fog again.
Without the help of detection equipment, Zhang Xiaoman's field of vision became very small. At the same time, considering the possible sneak attack, he had to slow down and slowly explore along the small ditch.
Ordering one sand soldier to open the way ahead and another to protect his side, Zhang Xiaoman tensed up his muscles and did not dare to relax at all.
In this way, after walking about another five hundred meters, Zhang Xiaoman finally saw a somewhat dilapidated small bridge. This must be the "bridge from which terrifying howls came" mentioned in the intelligence.
The small bridge is very small. It spans over this small ditch. There is a small bridge hole below, which is only big enough for two or three people to pass at the same time.
Zhang Xiaoman directed a sand soldier to board the bridge, and then observed it carefully, but he did not encounter any attacks, nor did he hear the so-called terrifying screams.
He first frowned in thought, then turned his gaze to the bottom of the bridge.
"Maybe that's where the weirdness lies?"
Zhang Xiaoman leaned over and looked there, but he couldn't see anything wrong. In desperation, he had no choice but to take Sha Bing to take a look in person.
The edge of this ditch was a slope extending downward. Zhang Xiaoman carefully walked along the slope and got off the road to the edge of the bridge hole.
After getting closer, he felt like he heard something, "woo hoo hoo"... It was like someone crying, or the sound of air leaking from the window.
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly remembered the story that Liu Ye once told him. According to his description, wasn't it the same scene at that time?
While thinking, Zhang Xiaoman had already approached the bottom of the bridge. As he got closer, the sound became clearer and clearer. When he came under the bridge, he could already see the scene inside.
There, on the wall on one side of the bridge hole, there are dark red lines, like ferocious blood vessels, and in the middle of those lines, a heart-like flesh ball is beating continuously. There is a small circular opening on it, from which wisps of mist erupt.
"I found you!" Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up.
However, at this moment, the strange heart suddenly contracted, and the surface muscles squirmed, completely in vain. Zhang Xiaoman looked intently and saw that it was a face exactly like his own.
Then, I saw the mouth on the man's face open, and he immediately let out a terrifying wailing sound. The sound was shrill and harsh, which was very uncomfortable to hear.
However, although Zhang Xiaoman felt that the sound it made was a bit unpleasant, there was no other discomfort. Maybe this thing's cry is just disgusting, or maybe Zhang Xiaoman's current mental power of 3 points can resist its mental attack. In short, there is nothing particularly scary about this weird heart.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered a soldier to walk over slowly, intending to kill this annoying thing with one shot.
However, at this moment, a splash of water suddenly appeared in the ditch nearby, and in the mud, a figure was running quickly in the direction of Zhang Xiaoman.
Zhang Xiaoman was startled by the sound and immediately looked back.
The next moment, as the water splashed, an ugly monster suddenly jumped out of the water, and a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth continued to enlarge in his field of vision.
