After Guo Yichi said the word "thank you", his head tilted and he stopped breathing.
I gently laid Guo Yichi's body flat on the ground, and perhaps it was a coincidence that at the moment when Guo Yichi died, his eyes were still looking in the direction of Hua Muling.
Guo Yichi has been blind for more than 20 years. Perhaps at this moment, his only wish is to take another look at the beautiful girl next to him.
Did he get his wish?
Nobody knows.
Perhaps even Guo Yichi himself didn't know it.
I stood up and glanced at the watch on my wrist, and said, "Time is running out, let's chase those guys quickly! From what Guo Yichi said, we still have ten minutes at most."
After saying this, I looked back at Hua Muling and saw that this girl shed tears at some point.
I looked at Hua Muling and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Hua Muling shook her head and said, "I don't know! Just looking at Guo Yichi like this makes me feel so uncomfortable. Although I just met him not long ago, I don't know why I always feel like I have known him for a long time."
I put my hand on Hua Muling's shoulder, patted him gently and said, "I'm not very good at comforting people, but since you feel uncomfortable, let's kowtow to him!"
After saying that, I took off my coat from Guo Yichi and put the coat on Guo Yichi's head.
Then, I pulled Hua Muling and Xiong Ming to kneel in front of Guo Yichi, clasped my hands together, and murmured: "Senior Guo, we are destined. Although the current situation is quite special, we cannot I will pay my last respects to you and take care of my funeral arrangements. However, once I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come back here, take your body away, and bury it in a safe place. I hope you will bless the three of us to go through this safely."
After saying that, the three of us respectfully kowtowed to Guo Yichi three times, then turned around and headed towards the northeast corner he mentioned before.
But the three of us had just taken a few steps forward when something suddenly caught my eye.
It was a photo that slipped out of Guo Yichi's pocket. I walked over, squatted down, and picked up the photo that fell from the ground.
But when I saw the content on the photo, I was stunned.
Seeing that I suddenly stopped, Xiong Ming came over and asked, "Hu Tian, what's wrong with you? Why are you squatting here all of a sudden and not leaving? What's the matter? Do you feel sick in your stomach and want to poop?"
I ignored Xiong Ming's teasing, but turned my head and looked at him seriously and said, "Look at this photo!"
With that said, I handed the photo in my hand to Xiong Ming.
Xiong Ming took the photo and took a look at it. After that, he almost jumped up and said loudly: "This...how is this possible?"
Seeing the two of us so surprised, Hua Muling also came over and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
Xiong Ming waved his hand and handed the photo in his hand to Hua Muling.
Hua Muling took the photo and took a look at it, and she couldn't help but take a breath.
It was an old black and white photo from the 1970s and 1980s.
The photo was taken in front of a hospital called Jingcheng VIP Hospital. There are ten people in the photo, including eight men and two women, six patients and four medical staff.
This was a normal-looking group photo, but what made the three of us feel weird was that among the six patients in the photo, we actually saw our own faces.
Hua Muling looked at the photo for a long time, then swallowed and said, "What...what's going on?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know! This fell out of Guo Yichi's pocket. Judging from the degree of wear and tear on the photo, he must have held it in his hand often. So, judging from this, this photo should not be It would be fake.”
Xiong Ming frowned and said, "Where is this VIP Hospital?"
I shook my head and said, "I've never heard of it. Let's put this matter aside for now. When we go back, we can check the VIP Hospital and the things in this photo."
Hua Muling said: "Yes! Hu Tian is right. The most important thing now is to find Xiaonia first."
I patted my face with my hands, trying to calm down, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay! Let's go!"
After saying that, the three of us ran towards the northeast corner.
Sure enough, Guo Yichi did not lie to us. There is really a secret door in the northeast corner.
After we got into the secret door, we ran all the way along the back passage. After running for about five or six minutes, we reached the end of the passage.
At the end of the passage is a natural cave hidden in the weeds. The person who designed this place is simply a genius.
The cave is located on a gentle slope halfway up the mountain, surrounded by dense weeds about half a man's height. If he hadn't known about it in advance, even if Holmes came, he wouldn't have been able to find this place for a while.
The three of us climbed out of the cave carefully, fearing that we would move too much and hurt Li Qiang and Yu'er who were guarding the car not far away.
Although the three of us are still not sure about the true identities of these two people, we can guess with our toes that these two guys are probably in the same group as Guo Yichi.
Although we don't know what their real purpose is, it is probably related to the Sifang Temple that Mr. Xu is looking for.
While I was thinking about these things in my mind, I lowered my body like a thief and walked forward step by step.
After walking a few steps, I turned back to Hua Muling and said softly: "When we rescue Xiaonia, we will send her home if possible. Now that we are out of Mr. Xu's control, we will wait until we return to the capital." We don’t have to worry about this old boy for our own chassis. What do you think?"
Hua Muling frowned and said, "I agree with your idea. However, I always feel that things are not that simple."
Sure enough, the development direction of things quickly confirmed Hua Muling's words.
Just when a few of us tiptoed to the black off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road, a disgusting bloody smell suddenly poured into the nostrils of the three of us.
I was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shouted: "No! Something happened!"
After saying that, I was the first to rush to the jeep.
Hua Muling and Xiong Ming also realized the change of things at this time, and followed me quickly.
At this time, I saw that the door of the black jeep had been opened, and dark red blood was everywhere on the front windshield and seats.
Although it is already late autumn, there are still countless flies flying around, making the "buzzing" annoying.
I looked into the car and found a person lying slanted in the driver's seat.
It was a woman. Judging from her graceful figure and long legs, she was dissatisfied with finding out that this person was Yu'er.
But at this time, Yu'er had long since stopped breathing, her head tilted to one side, half of her neck and face had been eaten away, and the remaining half of her face still had the look of terror before her death.
"What did this do? It's so damn cruel!" Xiong Ming frowned and said, "Did they encounter a pack of wolves?"
I continued from the side: "It's not a wolf pack. Generally speaking, there won't be so many wolves left. This scene looks more like venting some kind of anger, rather than hunting."
As I said that, I started to search other places in the car, but to my disappointment, there was nothing useful found in the car except Yu'er's body.
Hua Muling seemed to be aware of this and asked, "I didn't see Niya and Li Qiang... Could it be that they found out that the situation was bad and found a way to retreat in advance?"
I nodded and said, "It's possible! You two expand the search scope, and I'll see if I can find anything else in the car."
Hua Muling and Xiong Ming nodded, responded, and quickly searched down the mountain.
I stayed in the jeep and carefully examined Yu'er's body.
I first lifted Yu'er out of the cab and laid it flat on the ground. Then I used a flashlight to shine on the wound on her neck. I found that the bite marks on the wound were generally flat and did not look like they were caused by sharp teeth. , rather like being bitten by a creature with flat teeth.
Not only that, while I was checking Yu'er's wound, the muscles in Yu'er's neck suddenly twitched.
This really startled me, and I took two steps back hastily. But when I came back to my senses and stepped forward to check again, a black and yellow moth the size of a thumb came out of the wound on Yu'er's neck.
I was just about to reach out and catch the moth in my hand to study it, when suddenly I heard Hua Muling shouting from not far down the mountain, "Hu Tian! Come here quickly!"
When I heard the sound, I no longer cared about the moth, turned around and ran down the mountain.
After I ran for about two or three hundred meters, I saw Hua Muling squatting on the roadside with a child in her arms.
No need to ask, it must be Niya.
When I saw Hua Muling and the others found Niya, my heart almost dropped.
But immediately after, I saw Xiong Ming and a guy fighting together.
Then I didn't think too much, picked up the engineer shovel in my hand and joined the battle group without saying a word.
During the fight, I discovered that the guy who was fighting Xiong Ming to the death was not a human being at all, or to be more precise, that guy was not a living person at all.
I saw that half of this guy's head was missing, and the remaining half of his face had been eaten away beyond recognition. However, based on his clothing, he could still vaguely identify this guy as Li Qiang, who claimed to be a doctor of archeology at Northwest University.
Li Qiang had already stopped breathing. His hands and feet were stiff, and his veins were bulging. His whole body seemed to be inflated. It was one or two times larger than before, and showed a strange gray-white color. At first glance, he looked like a man. A grizzly bear that became a sperm.
Li Qiang stretched out his hands and rushed toward Xiong Ming.
