Chapter 17: A two-story building
Zhou Wuchang's heart jumped, and he subconsciously turned around to look behind, but he could only see the shadowy houses under the dark night, not to mention the others, not to mention the shadows, and he didn't even hear the sound of footsteps.
"Behind, there is really no one...... Zhou Wuchang's pupils contracted, almost biting his lower lip, and his face turned pale, "Our speed is not too fast, and the follow-up teams should not be unable to keep up." ”
Gu Juan asked, "Captain Zhou, think about it, when did you ignore the team behind you just now?"
"When did you ignore the ......" Zhou Wuchang opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't answer this question at all.
Vice Admiral Teng specially ordered and emphasized that the two teams should not be too far apart and should be able to take care of each other, so before entering the village, he agreed with the captain of the rear team that he must ensure that both teams are within 20 steps of each other, so that when one team is attacked, the other team can support at the first time.
However, he did not know when he had forgotten all about this order.
What's even more weird is that he can't remember who the leader of the follow-up team is, Lao Wang, Lao Zeng or Da Tie?
"Chief Zhou, we can't stay here for long, we have to go, maybe they take other routes, and when we get out of the village, we can join them. ”
Gu Juan looked at the entire team of soldiers with blank expressions, knowing that he couldn't get more answers from them, so he opened his mouth to interrupt Zhou Wuchang's hard thinking.
"This place is too wicked. Zhou Wuchang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Master Gu is right, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's set off immediately." ”
After running for more than 1,000 steps, several people with poor physical strength in the squad began to gasp, and Captain Zhou had to stop and rest temporarily in order to ensure the overall combat strength.
Gu Juan didn't feel too tired, and the increase in his health value had greatly enhanced his physical strength, and it didn't matter if he ran until dawn at his current speed.
But can an enemy hidden in the shadows, who has never yet appeared, be able to keep him safe until dawn?
Thinking of this, Gu Juan sighed secretly, rubbing the patrol axe that had been cold, and his eyes looked around.
Suddenly, his gaze froze on the side of a small two-story brick and wood building in front of him.
He faintly heard footsteps, coming from the second floor, as if a person was pacing back and forth in the room on the second floor, and the person was very heavy and made a banging sound.
"There's movement there. Gu Juan pointed to Xiao Lou and clenched the handle of the axe, "Do you want to send someone to check with me?"
"Why didn't I hear that?" Captain Zhou was obviously a little puzzled, but he still quickly made a decision, "Now we must not divide the troops again, let's go over together." ”
"The voice I heard was on the second floor, but it's best not to go around the front front entrance, I can break through the back door here, and the captain will be on guard for me. ”
"Okay, you pay attention to safety, and if there is any situation, the first warning is to retreat. Zhou Wuchang made a gesture to the back, and everyone was immediately ready for battle.
After a while, Gu Juan came to the door and raised the sharp axe in his hand.
All the soldiers clenched their blades and stared at Gu Juan for a moment, their spirits highly tense.
Gu Juan took a deep breath and smashed down with an axe.
At this moment, his mood was actually a little excited, it was the excitement of waiting anxiously for a long time, and finally going to fight the enemy face to face.
Click!
Gu Ju's strength has increased a lot now, and he smashed the dilapidated wooden door in just one click.
He didn't go straight in, but stayed at the door, looking at the scene in the room on the first floor through the scattered pieces of wood chips.
The furnishings in the house are very ordinary, the furniture style is simple, and the number is only a few simple things, which is completely the living standard of the average peasant household in the village.
However, the contents appear to have been moved, leaving clear or faint marks on the ground.
There were also a jumble of footprints on the ground, and it seemed that many people had entered the room and walked around it.
Suddenly, Gu Ju's eyes shrank suddenly, and his eyes focused on the wooden bed placed against the wall in the room.
There was a thick layer of dust on the bed, as if it hadn't been cleaned in a long time, but it didn't matter, what mattered was that something seemed to have chopped on the bed, leaving a new crack.
There seemed to be something strange about that rift, especially in the middle......
Gu Juan subconsciously looked down at the patrol axe in his hand.
And those footprints......
Gu Juan's eyes looked down again, and landed on the leather boots he was wearing on his feet, and his heart quickly compared the size and shape with a few of the footprints.
In an instant, a terrible thought appeared in the bottom of his heart.
He seems to have been here before!
Bang bang bang!
The sound of heavy footsteps once again penetrated Gu Ju's ears, but he had no idea of going up to investigate at this time, and he only wanted to figure out a few things in his mind.
So how long had he been in the village?
Where have everyone else gone?
Is he, like Zhou Wuchang, forgetting some things unconsciously?
What about the Jungler Knife, why hasn't it responded?
It was only at this time that Gu Juan finally felt a deep chill, which slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.
He slowly withdrew from the doorway and patted himself on the cheek.
That's right. Real life is always such a, often when you are full of confidence, thinking that you can cope with the situation freely, and can even carry the overall situation, you will be slapped in the face without warning, until your eyes are black, and you can't extricate yourself.
"Master Gu, have you found anything?" Zhou Wuchang asked in a low voice, his face was very bad now, and his spirit was even worse, but he was relying on a brave spirit to support himself.
According to the experience of working in the laboratory in his previous life, Gu Juan knew that under the shroud of too many unknown conditions, all speculations were just blind people touching elephants under the dark fog, and the chance of being right was too small, but he couldn't do nothing, and if he delayed in this weird and dull atmosphere, everyone would have a nervous breakdown.
"I heard it wrong, let's go briskly, leave the village as fast as we can. After a moment of silent thought, he shook his head and decided to avoid the strange two-story building and continue to find a way out of the village as soon as possible.
They're not playing a mystery room game now, they're not hiding from the cats, they're racing against the clock to get themselves out of danger before the deeper and deeper malice really hits.
"Let's go!" Zhou Wuchang waved his hand and ran towards the front first.
There was still a deathly silence all around, save for the clash of armor and swords and the gasps of everyone's footsteps.
They kept walking briskly, I don't know how long, but on both sides of them were still crowded and scattered houses, and there was no sign of leaving the village.
"Something is wrong. Gu Juan recalled what he had encountered in that mountain forest, and suddenly stopped in a slightly empty place, "We have walked at least 10,000 steps, plus the previous hurry, the distance is about fourteen or fifteen miles, how can we not be able to leave the village yet?"
