I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the medicinal powder in Cui Hao's hand had the ability to completely suppress this guy and even completely control his mobility.
I quickly shouted at Cui Hao.
"Fat man, give me a little of what you have in your hand."
He nodded, quickly retreated to my side, and quickly shared the powder in the medicine jar with the rest of us.
Then, just as we were dividing the powder, there were messy footsteps again in the hole to our right.
I briefly observed the surroundings, and we entered this passage that extended in all directions. There were dozens of holes in this tomb, located on the walls around us, and some even led to higher locations.
And at this time, there were a lot of footsteps in these holes, and it was obvious that there were a lot of monsters hiding in them, and they were launching a siege on us at this time.
After I briefly judged their location, I immediately ordered Cui Hao and the others to move in different directions to deal with these monsters.
And when they came out, they launched a head-on attack.
I found that the monster that had just attacked us and had half of its body sprayed with powder had shrunk back, hid in a passage and disappeared.
I didn't have time to react, so I continued to invite them to follow me and quickly led to the holes in all directions. I then took the medicine in my hand and stood ready.
However, just when our nerves were all tense, we suddenly heard a ding-dong-dong sound in our pockets.
I looked at my pocket in surprise. The sound inside was clearly my cell phone.
"How is this possible?"
You know, we are in the bottomless underground. Under this situation, there is no way for the outside signal to be transmitted. It is like we are buried alive in the underground passage. There is absolutely no mobile phone signal. It will allow us to communicate with each other.
So under this situation, it is impossible for the mobile phone in our pocket to have a signal to communicate, and it is absolutely impossible to generate a signal and emit a ringtone at the same time underground.
At this time, the footsteps in front of us continued, and none of us dared to touch the mobile phones in our pockets, for fear that there would be something weird inside.
After I looked at them in surprise, I suppressed the fear in my heart and asked them.
"How about we turn on the phone and check the situation?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then nodded slightly towards me. They all stood in groups silently, and then several of us were ready to cooperate. One of them was holding a mobile phone, and the other one was still holding the powder and waiting.
Cui Hao was standing behind me. After I winked at him, I immediately reached out and took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and also pulled out mine.
Then I carefully looked at some of the messages we received at that time, but found that they were all messy text, and it was impossible to see what message was conveyed.
What surprised me was that not only me, but also the communication received on Cui Hao's mobile phone was exactly the same as mine.
At this time, I was completely stunned. This thing is not our area of expertise at all, and I can't figure out how this thing came into being.
While we were hesitating, Dongbei, who was beside the old man behind me, suddenly stood up and quickly looked at the mobile phones in our hands.
"There should be an underground base station here, and the same string of encrypted text is sent to all of our mobile phones."
While speaking, Dongbei's eyes fell on Mr. Wang.
"Mr. Wang, I think the most likely thing is the few people we placed in other teams. After all, it is impossible for those other people to bring out such base station signals underground. They are all from the same team, and they are completely different. It is necessary to do these things, and money will be wasted, and it will not provide them with any necessary help."
After listening to what they said, I immediately remembered what Mr. Wang told me about the undercover photos he took of the other three families.
In other words, it is likely that one of their undercover agents used the signal base station in his hand and passed the message to us.
Although I can't figure out the reason, how on earth did he send the same message to each of our mobile phones.
But today's messy string of text clearly contains extremely important information.
And just when all of us were stunned, the footsteps in front suddenly increased in volume, and each one quickly rushed towards our location.
I realized something was wrong and quickly called them to launch a counterattack. Cui Hao took the medicine powder in his hand and sprinkled it directly the moment the shadow in the passage in front appeared.
In an instant, the man let out a scream, and then retreated directly into the passage. The footsteps immediately went away until they disappeared in front of us.
I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Cui Hao if he could see the guy's face and condition clearly when he just sprinkled the powder.
Cui Hao waved his hand gently at me, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"I didn't see it clearly. The guy looks like a humanoid, but his hands and feet are still completely out of place, which makes the clothes look weird and twisted. It looks like a deformity."
My eyes immediately fell on some broken limbs on the ground. It was obvious that the monsters that just appeared should be exactly the same as these things.
After carefully thinking about the situation at that time, I suddenly felt a little strange. I just saw the shape of the deformed person clearly, and his arms, legs and feet looked quite stiff, and even looked a little sideways. deflection.
In other words, the arms and legs of these things seem to be different lengths, so when he walks, he looks extremely weird and stiff.
After realizing this, I immediately understood that the things we just saw could no longer be called human beings. In other words, their bodies were all spliced together from arms and ankles belonging to different people. .
That's why I felt so weird the moment they appeared. Although they can walk freely, they are obviously controlled by something.
As for the humanoid monsters we encountered before, could it be said that there are some monsters living in their bodies, so they can attack us like this?
While I was staring at the transparent place in front of me and guessing from the bottom of my heart, Qin Nu's cold voice suddenly came from behind me.
"It seems that I must have met a colleague."
I turned around in surprise, and Qin Nu's figure appeared in the corner, staring blankly at a body on the ground.
I walked over quickly, squatted next to her, and followed Qin Nu to observe the broken limbs on the ground.
Suddenly my eyes tightened, and I noticed that there seemed to be a faint thin line on one of the broken arms. I quickly took out Shang Fang's sword and immediately lifted the thin line up.
The next second, I discovered that when the thin thread was lifted, the arm also moved. The end of the thin thread penetrated into the skin of the arm, and it had obviously become a part and tissue on it.
That is to say, when the thin line shakes, the body will shake and tremble accordingly. Could it be said that the deformed humanoid monsters we just saw have the same operation and layout?
When I realized this, I suddenly thought of something, that is, puppets. If someone can control these silver threads and infiltrate them into a person's body, then the humanoid thing can completely follow his control and make corresponding actions and reactions.
Could it be that those stiff and twisted corpses just now were gradually approaching us and even made those weird movements because something was secretly controlling them?
After realizing this, I quickly dragged a few of them to my side and told them my guess in detail.
"So now, we all have to be careful enough. If the man behind the scenes comes out in a while, I'm afraid a few of us will fall into his trap."
After hearing my speculation, several people couldn't help but have extremely frightened expressions on their faces. Qin Nu stared at the holes with interest, obviously very interested in the manipulator behind it.
And just as a few of us stayed here, staring at the cave entrance quietly, the surroundings fell into silence again.
The manipulator behind this seems to have realized that we have discovered its existence, so it is hiding now and has no intention of showing up in front of us.
I dragged Cui Hao up to the man who suddenly rushed out just now, and quickly asked him about the specific details and situation.
"You just escaped from one of the caves. Can you tell me your true identity and what is your relationship with these people?"
However, the moment I asked the question, I suddenly noticed an extremely strange smile on this man's face.
I immediately realized that there was something wrong with this man, so I quickly dragged Cui Hao back, but it seemed that it was too late.
This man suddenly rushed towards us, then reached out and grabbed Cui Hao's neck. I subconsciously stood in front of Cui Hao. Instantly, a touch of fear overflowed from the man's face, but he could no longer take his hand back.
I found that there seemed to be several white egg-shaped substances hidden in the palm of this man's hand. When he suddenly grabbed my neck, these things fell directly onto my skin.
