I slowly squeezed past the Wang family, and then Cui Hao and Li Ba appeared. Directly in front of them was Wang Meng's team.
But when I walked forward, I found that only Brother Meng and two of his men were left in Wang Meng's team. As for the other members of his team, they were all missing.
"Brother Meng, where are the others?"
I glanced in front of them, stretched out my hand to explore, and took a flashlight to shine through the passage in front.
The passage was empty, with no other people around. I just asked this question, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on Wang Meng's face.
He stared blankly at the empty space in front of him, and after a while he finally said something from the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, where are they?"
Wang Meng suddenly seemed to have awakened from confusion, staring ahead in horror, his hands and feet unable to help but tremble.
"Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
I stared at Wang Meng in confusion. He was the one at the front of the team now. If the people in front disappeared, he should be the first to discover the heresy.
The space here is not big, so the person walking at the front should be the best able to find the problem, but Wang Meng has walked such a long distance without noticing anything strange. What on earth is going on with him? ?
I couldn't help but stop the team and asked Wang Meng what happened just now and why he didn't notice the disappearance of his team members.
In fact, I am more worried about Wang Wangyang. He is walking at the front of the team. If he encounters danger, he will be the first to bear the brunt. I don’t know if he is safe now.
Wang Meng stared blankly ahead for several more times before turning back to respond to my words.
"I don't know, I just kept walking forward. I only had one idea, and that was to keep walking forward. Why didn't I realize that the person in front of me was missing?"
Wang Meng kept hitting his head with his fist, as if he wanted to knock back his consciousness and figure out what happened at that time. But his eyes were confused, and it was obvious that he didn't realize why he didn't notice the disappearance of his team members until now.
I felt a deep uneasiness in my heart. Judging from the current situation, our journey will definitely be extremely rough. And if you continue to move forward, people might disappear after you.
If Qin Nu was not the first to notice the abnormality, we would not have discovered such a problem at all. When the problem occurs to us, will I be like Wang Meng, confused by something, and unable to detect the abnormality at all? .
I suppressed my surprise and quickly turned around to greet them. I tried to get them to stand in a row as much as possible, which could effectively prevent the abnormality from happening.
I squeezed back, ready to go to the end of the line to see what was going on. Cui Hao quickly squeezed to my side and looked at me with confusion on his face.
"My young prince, I heard what you said. I didn't notice that the lights in front of me suddenly disappeared. You see, I'm walking in the second echelon."
Cui Hao dragged Li Ba and walked behind Wang Meng's team. There were only three people left in Wang Meng's team. Logically speaking, the two of them should be able to notice the abnormality.
But it was obvious that the two of them were completely unaware of this, and they both had blank looks on their faces.
Cui Hao walked up to me and looked at the end of the line with a dignified expression.
At this time, Li Zhuang, the last person in the team, was holding the line, and nothing unusual happened, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
At least half of our people are left, and we can discuss the next strategy.
The formation for me quickly changed, and although the space here had begun to expand, it was still difficult to squeeze two people in side by side.
But the weirdness inside this cave made us all huddle together, for fear that after being separated from the people around us, we would disappear into the cave without a trace like the people in front of us.
Cui Hao followed me to the back of the team. I quickly asked Qin Nu, when did she notice something strange about the lights in front?
Qin Nu squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then stretched out a finger towards us.
"About ten minutes ago, at that time I noticed that one of the lights in front of me seemed to disappear faintly. I thought we were coming to the corner, so I didn't pay attention. But then when I continued walking forward At that time, we found that there was always one less light in front of us, and the other lights did not disappear immediately. If it were a corner, then other lights should disappear with it, but the light in front of us only remained Nine of them fell."
Qin Nu sighed and shook her head gently at me.
"Sorry, I didn't realize that there might be something wrong at that time. I just thought that maybe I saw it wrong, or that there was a turn or other situation ahead, so I wanted to take a closer look until later. I noticed that two more lights disappeared one after another, so I asked you a question."
I nodded, not blaming Qin Nu, and besides, I wasn’t qualified. If she hadn't been the first to remind us that there was something strange ahead of us, maybe we would still be in the dark and have not noticed the strange thing ahead until now.
Cui Hao also squeezed in beside us. After hearing our words, he also began to search for the memories in his mind.
After a long time, Cui Hao's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
"Have you thought of something?"
I saw Cui Hao's expression changed drastically, and I quickly grabbed his arm and asked him what details he saw at that time.
Cui Hao nodded towards me, a bit of uneasiness flashing in his eyes.
"I did see something at that time. A black shadow flashed past in the passage in front, and the thing seemed to flash over our heads."
Cui Hao pointed at the murals of strange beasts above our heads, the fear on his face becoming more solemn.
"Actually, I seemed to have noticed something was wrong at the time. I wanted to say it out loud at the time, but then I don't know why. This doubt became more and more shallow in my heart, and then disappeared completely. Then I was like a blind man. I kept walking forward, and the lights in front kept disappearing, but I still didn’t realize why?”
My heart sank. It seemed that some of us were blinded by something, so we were bewitched and deceived like this.
Now we don't dare to move forward, and we are unwilling to retreat even if we are sleepy. We can only reluctantly stay in place and continue to observe the movements around him.
For a moment, the entire cave became quiet, no one spoke, and it fell into silence for the first time.
However, Li Zhuang suddenly broke the silence. There was a bit of surprise and astonishment in his voice, and he pointed his hand directly in front of us.
"Look, the team at the front is missing another light?"
I was stunned and quickly looked in the direction of his finger. Gradually, right in front of our team, the leader Wang Meng and his two men disappeared.
At this time, only Dongbei was left walking behind them, staring blankly at the empty darkness ahead, feeling at a loss for a moment.
I quickly squeezed through and quickly illuminated the road ahead of us with my flashlight. There wasn't even a single trace left on the passage, as if everything had disappeared out of thin air.
"Dongbei, did you see clearly what just happened?"
I couldn't help but grab Dongbei's arm and kept shaking his body, trying to find out what happened just now.
Dongbei looked shocked, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and shook his head at me.
"I didn't see anything, and if you hadn't suddenly asked me, I wouldn't have realized that Wang Meng and the others had disappeared? I've always been pretty responsive. What happened just now?"
Obviously, several of us have been confused by the strangeness in this passage. If we continue forward directly now, it will definitely be a dead end.
"No, let's take a few steps back and try not to move forward as much as possible."
This is the only way I can think of, and even if we stand where we are, the team at the front will disappear, then there will be almost only a dead end for us.
I suddenly remembered the giant white insect at the entrance of the cave. At that time, he stayed in front of the entrance of the cave with the meat balls under his hands, and it seemed that he did not dare to continue chasing us.
Now, I seem to be able to understand this guy's thoughts. The things in this cave are so weird that they can even make people disappear without a sound.
No wonder that thing was too scared to come in. It turned out to be worried about something strange like this. It was a pity that none of us realized the seriousness of the problem at the time.
I reached out and pulled Dongbei, preparing to bring him back to the end of our team, then turned and backed away. But when I stretched out my hand, it was in vain.
I looked back and found to my surprise that there was no one around me at this time, and Dongbei disappeared right in front of me.
"what happened?"
My whole body was cold, and a wave of coldness kept rolling in my chest. I turned around and looked behind me, and saw that the northeast and northwest had disappeared.
The one at the front actually turned to the southeast. At this time, they were staring at me in astonishment. I squeezed out of the darkness and came to their side.
"What happened just now?"
At that time, all my attention was on the stone wall next to me, thinking about the reasons for all this, and I didn't even notice what was next to me.
I had no idea why the Northeast and Northwest people standing next to me were missing.
