I helped Shao Bo up and shook it gently: "Shao Bo,! Shao Bo!"
He slowly opened his eyes: "Water! Water!"
I quickly took out a bottle of water, opened it and gave it to him.
He lifted it up and drank it down: "There are...there are...monsters...Sister Feng...she...she was..."
"I understand. You rest here for a while, and I will go rescue Sister Feng." I told him not to speak and helped him lean against the wall.
I looked around and didn't see the other three people...
"They... they were also taken away... by... someone..." Shaobo spat out a sentence with difficulty.
"People!? You mean the expedition team?" I was shocked.
Shao Bo nodded: "A few... golden-haired ones... Poof!" He spat out a mouthful of blood.
I quickly went to help him...
"Okay, you rest first and I will take care of it." I comforted him.
I stood up and let out a long sigh...
Of the few people we came in, Sister Feng was missing, Shaobo, Baili Yuxu, and the strongest ones were all seriously injured. Yu Xu's men don't know what's going on. Now there are only two of them, me and the stretcher bearer. There are only three people in total. The two of them...the combat power is worth...if the people of the expedition team are still in action now, then There is definitely a lot to be said about this matter...
I don’t know what to ask about the current situation in Shaobo. I have to go and find out for myself...
I took off the pistol from Shao Bo's waist, waved to the two men next to Yu Xu, handed them the submachine gun and pistol respectively, and told them to protect the two wounded people. They nodded and stood happily. On both sides of the intersection.
I took out some water and dry food from my backpack and placed them next to Baili Xuxu, keeping an appropriate amount for myself.
"You...be careful..." Yu Xu said in a weak voice, "Don't worry." I gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her to have a good rest.
Then he went to Shao Bo, took out his supplies from his bag and put them next to him.
After arranging the equipment, he pulled "Chengfeng" on his back and walked forward.
After exiting the cave, I entered a stone forest, which was like a maze. I was worried that I might get lost, so I picked up stones along the way and marked them.
When I walked to a place where rocks gathered, I jumped on it, observed the surrounding situation, and determined the location.
"Hiss~" There was a soft sound behind a big stone next to it.
I put my hand on "Chengfeng" and slowly moved over.
I quickly turned around, "Chengfeng" was already in my hand, and suddenly said: "Don't~ don't~ I was wrong~ I won't run!"
A man huddled in the corner holding his head...
"Who are you? What are you doing hiding here?" I asked.
He looked up at me with a look of astonishment on his face, then rushed over and hugged my legs: "Save us! Save the professor and the president!"
Holy shit! I was shocked...
"Speak slowly, are you the professor's assistant? I was sent to rescue you." I helped him up.
"Yes, yes! It's me! I escaped and asked for help when they weren't paying attention, but there were monsters everywhere outside, and they even blocked the exit."
"Who are they you are talking about?"
"They are, by the way, do you have water and food? I haven't eaten or drank in the past two days."
"Uh...yes."
I took out a bottle of water, a pack of instant noodles, and a compressed biscuit from my backpack and gave them to him.
He took the water, filled half the bottle, tore open the instant noodles and biscuits, and ate them hungrily.
"Slow down, slow down, don't choke."
"Yeah, yeah." He nodded, still chewing heavily.
"Gudugudu" After finishing his meal, he drank the water in one breath. "Ah! It feels so comfortable!" he praised.
After seeing that he was done with it, I stood up and asked, "You said those people from the expedition team controlled you? Is it an internal strife?"
"No, before we came here, we went to another place. At that time, President Baili discovered that there was a problem. He advised the professor to quit. But the professor said, how could we give up after finally finding such an important clue. The president and The professors are all old friends, so the president stayed to protect the professor, and then quietly told me to report the news. Unexpectedly, everyone was controlled by them." He said and looked around.
"How are the others doing now?"
"The president and the professor are locked up. There should be no danger to their lives for the time being. They plan to use the professor..."
"What's the important clue you're talking about?"
"It seems to be some ancient legend. It is said that it needs to be verified. I don't know the details. I have to ask the professor."
I nodded: "Then how did you get here? I heard on the phone recording that something big must have happened."
"That! That was an accident! While looking for the entrance, someone touched some switch below and released a huge monster... dragging everyone underground..."
He paused and continued: "Based on the clues we found before, we were forced to come here. I heard that this is the source of the legend. By the way, when you mentioned the recording, the president told me that he had already passed it on over the phone. The code says someone will come to rescue us soon..."
"Secret code? I've listened to all the tapes several times. Didn't I hear any code?" I scratched the back of my head.
"Yes, when he speaks, he uses some dialects. He will pause before speaking in dialects. Every time he talks, there will be one or two words of code..."
When he said this, it seemed true. I always thought it was because Baili Ruxu's father had not returned to China for a long time and his Mandarin was not standard...
I carefully recalled all the contents on the recording, and the order should be "Dui", "Li", "You", "Guan", "Book" and "Wine".
"There's a ghost in the team, help!" I shouted!
"Yes, yes, that's what he said."
Let me ask you, what does this old man Baili think? No one can remember this secret code! His daughter didn’t notice it either! You are a code master, but I am not a detective...
Now I know, it’s all hindsight, it’s useless! It seems that I will have to pay more attention to this aspect in the future...
"How many people are there in total who control you?"
"Except for us three Chinese, everyone else is in the same group."
"What?! Then you are still going!"
"The personnel were replaced from the beginning. We didn't know at the time that the leader was a person named 'Jian', and the others were mercenaries hired by him. By the time the president found out, it was already too late... "
I thought to myself: What is this old man from Baili doing? He funded it himself and didn’t even know that someone was being swapped. He went around in such a big circle and was set up by someone else. I want to ask him carefully when I see him.
There were voices in the distance, and I pushed him under the stone to signal him to be silent.
I took a sneak peek and saw several blond men with blue eyes, all with guns in their hands.
They walked around in a circle and left noisily.
"Do you know where Professor and the others are being held?" I patted him.
"I know. Even though this place looks complicated, it's actually not big. I've run there several times and I'm familiar with the road."
"Then take me there." I motioned for him to lead the way.
He looked at me in horror: "Just the two of us?!"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"He...he...he...there are at least eight or nine people there...all...all...have guns. Aren't we going to die?" he stammered...
"Our team members are all injured, so I can only go. In this case, you tell me, I will go by myself, and you go over there." I pointed to the back. "Find the hole, they are inside."
He nodded, pointed forward, and gave me some gestures, and I got a general idea.
I asked him to go to the resting place of Yu Xu and the others, and I quietly moved forward myself. The monster was also running this way. Maybe I could save Sister Feng.
After walking for a while, there were two sentries standing near an entrance.
I looked around, went around to the side, saw the right moment, deployed my technique, and jumped out on the necks of the two people, one for each.
The old rules, drag them to the corner, take them off, tie them up, put socks in your mouth, confiscate weapons and ammunition...
I hid at the entrance and looked inside to see what was going on. It seemed that no one was there...
I walked in gently, leaning against the wall. There were two cages in the corner, with nothing in them. They were probably where the professor and his friends were kept. They were probably called to do something now.
After moving for a while, there was light and someone's voice in front of me.
I held my breath and gently pressed my hand on the hilt of "Chengfeng".
When they reached the bright place, a stone staircase extended downwards, and there were many people below.
I quickly retracted and squatted in the corner to observe.
Inside is a classical, oversized round castle hall. In front of it, a tall foreign man with blue eyes and a hooked nose, holding a revolver in each hand, walked back and forth next to two old men. The old man squatted next to a table-like platform.
Six or seven strong men stood upright around with guns in hand.
I thought to myself: The one in the middle should be "Jane".
I looked in the direction of the two old men. I didn't know what I was looking at under the table. These two should be the professor and Yu Xu's father.
I looked up at the table...
You were so obedient, I almost screamed out in surprise and quickly held my mouth shut.
What kind of platform is this? This is a large altar. It occupies more than half of the huge circular castle hall. It is covered with white silk, which is very similar to the cotton silk I saw. Like, the silk was covered with human corpses.
No, some of them were not corpses. I could see their chests rising and falling, and they were still breathing. More importantly, I saw Sister Feng lying in the crowd above the altar. The three men of Yu Xu were also lying in there... There is... the body we met in the "corridor" is also up there...
This is wrong. Sister Feng was captured by a monster. Shaobo said that these three people were captured by mercenaries from the expedition team. So what is the situation now? Are the monsters and these mercenaries working together? ...
My mind is spinning fast, and now I must quickly find a way to rescue Sister Feng.
But judging from this situation, there is only one passage here, and there are no windows in the round castle. There is no way for a sneak attack!
To capture the thief, capture the king first. Then we will have to find an opportunity to restrain this guy named "Jian" in one go.
I heard a faint noise outside, so I quickly retreated and walked out against the wall to see what was going on.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance, someone walked in with his head peeping out. I covered my mouth and was about to make a move when he hummed "Uh huh huh" and turned his face, "I'm going!" He is the professor's assistant.
"What are you doing here!" I yelled softly.
"The... president's daughter heard that her father was still alive, so she insisted on coming over to see her and asked me to lead the way..."
"Let me tell you, are you saying that Yu Xu is here too?"
He nodded.
"What about Shao Bo?"
"He is still resting where he was, but he seems to be asleep now."
I motioned for him to be gentle, and the person was inside.
Turning around and leaving the cave, she saw Baili Yuxu being carried by two of her men and standing outside...
The two of them put her down, and she struggled to sit up. I quickly went to hold her up: "Why are you here! Don't get up. It will be troublesome if the wound is torn."
"My father, how is he..." Her voice was still weak.
"He's fine. He's inside now. I'll rescue him soon."
"I want to go, I..." She struggled slightly...
"Don't worry, I guarantee with my life that I will rescue your father." I patted my chest.
"No, don't..."
I knew what she wanted to say, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to us." I helped her lie down, "Just wait for my news." I said and gave her one of the weapons I had just seized and asked her to Self-defense.
Then I handed the other one to the professor's assistant, "By the way, I don't know your name yet?" I asked him.
"Luo Yongsong, Song from Songshan Mountain."
I nodded, "Can you use a gun?"
"Learned a little bit." He turned on the safety.
"Okay, then I'll leave them to you. Protect them."
I walked back to Yu Xu and patted her hand gently: "You guys find a place to hide. There are many people inside. If there is a fight, you won't be hurt."
"But my father..."
"Ruoxu! Be obedient!"
She looked at me in surprise, and suddenly I felt like it was the first time that I formally called her by her name in front of her... My face couldn't help but get hot...
From the moment she risked her life to save me, she has become as important as Xiaoyan in my heart, although I don't know what to do now...
She opened her mouth, said nothing, and nodded slightly.
I signaled Luo Yongsong to lead everyone in ambush, and then I walked into the round castle hall again...
