No one had time to think about it.
They ran towards the old man with the ultraviolet lamp, and hurriedly squeezed into the small door of the confession room.
To everyone's surprise, the space inside was much larger than they had imagined.
In fact, it was not a narrow confession room, but a hallway about ten meters wide, and directly in front of it was a slanting staircase that could accommodate two people side by side.
After everyone fled in, the old man closed the iron fence of the confession room with a bang, and then dropped a thick wooden door, blocking the monsters chasing into the church.
"Everyone, please follow me."
The tall and thin old man raised his hand, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his wide sleeve, then turned off the ultraviolet light, took an ordinary lantern from a closet, lit it, and squeezed each other in the hallway The seven of them smiled kindly:
"There are no wires underneath, so we can only rely on lanterns for lighting. It may be a bit dark. Friends, please pay attention to your feet and be careful not to fall."
After speaking, he turned around and took the lead in slowly going down the steps.
Only then did Ji Thrush notice that the old man was wearing a black robe similar to a priest, except that a long bright red silk scarf was tied around the neckline. There is a sun on the other side and a moon embroidered on the other side, which is exactly the broken element of the emblem directly above the church arch.
Everyone took out their flashlights one after another, turned them on, followed behind the old man, and descended the stairs.
When they first came to this "world", there were five people in Rose's team, and three people in Ji Thrush's team, but just half a day later, the two brothers Xiong Daxiong and Linglong disappeared, and the eight participants were gone. Five remain.
As for the "indigenous" soldiers who were in charge of escorting their "world", the casualties were even more severe. Now only two of the ten people are left, and the remaining eight may all be turned into those bone-eating people outside. monster.
—By the way, when we were outside just now...
Ji Thrush held up the flashlight, and quietly moved his gaze to the back of the red-haired beauty walking obliquely in front of him.
He was sure that he was not mistaken, Rose was indeed bitten on the arm by the monster Xiong Er transformed into.
If the generation of these monsters is exactly the same as those zombie movies on the street, doesn't that mean that she also...
Thinking of this, Ji Thrush only felt a chill run up his back.
He was very worried, if Rose was really infected, would she also become a monster in the near future
Ji Xiaoniao didn't want to see this scene very much, and what was even more frightening was that if she really mutated in a confined space, wouldn't everyone around her at that time have to face the possibility of being attacked at any time? Is it dangerous
…
Just when he was feeling extremely entangled, suddenly a hand gently touched his back shoulder.
Ji Thrush raised his head quickly.
"What's wrong?"
He saw Ren Jianmo standing on a step higher than him, looking down at him.
Ren Damei's long hair, which was originally neatly tied, was a little messy during the violent running just now. A strand of hair slipped out of the shackles of the starting circle, and slipped down from his temples. Shaking for a while, there was an inexplicable sense of laziness and lust.
Ji Thrush's heart beat twice in a row, almost missing his foot.
Ren Jianmo stretched out his hand quickly and grabbed his arm.
"What's wrong?"
he asked again.
Ji Thrush hurriedly steadied his footsteps, did not answer directly, but raised his chin towards Rose's back.
What a smart person Ren Jianmo is, he naturally understands it.
But his expression was very calm, and there was no worry on his face that his companions might soon turn into monsters, "Don't worry."
He said, "Trust me."
Those two short words were like a reassurance pill, causing Ji Thrush's high-hanging heart to "boom" back to its original place.
He nodded and didn't say anything more, just silently followed the old man down, through a staircase, and then through an iron gate, to a place similar to a cellar.
&&& &&& &&&
The cellar was quite spacious, and there were already six people, four of whom were dressed as civilians, and the other two were wearing the same camouflage uniforms as Rose and Mo Tiangen. They seemed to be survivors of the first two batches of soldiers.
"wait."
Before the old man could turn around and close the door, the two soldiers stood up and stopped in front of them. One of them said in a stern tone:
"We need to make sure first, are you injured?"
His words were very straightforward and merciless.
Ji Thrush couldn't help turning his gaze to Rose.
"Yes, yes..."
Fatty Huang covered his drenched pants, and looked at his captain timidly, his voice was as thin as a gnat:
"I, I seem to see... I saw the rose, you, you were bitten..."
Although his voice was low, the two soldiers and the old pastor who led the way heard them, and their expressions changed drastically, staring at the red-haired beauty vigilantly and defensively.
There was a jagged tear in the right sleeve of Rose's camouflage uniform, not stained with blood, but still too obvious to ignore.
The red-haired beauty looked around, glanced at everyone's faces one by one, and sighed softly.
"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."
As she spoke, she unzipped the zipper neatly and took off the camouflage jacket.
Underneath Rose's jacket was a black racerback tank top, cut in close-fitting and stretchy fabrics that framed her svelte body.
But at this time, no one was in the mood to appreciate her beauty and good figure. Everyone's eyes were like X-rays, scanning her body over and over again to make sure there was no damage.
However, no, there was not a single wound on her body.
Ji Thrush saw clearly at the time that it was the right forearm that Rose was bitten by the skeleton monster turned into by Xiong Er, but now her forearm was clean, no tooth marks, no blood, not even a piece of oily skin. break.
Now, everyone is relieved.
"Okay, as long as you're not hurt."
The two soldiers changed their sternness just now, and laughed amicably:
"Please come here, let us tell you what happened in this small town."
Everyone walked into the cellar as they said, found their own places, and sat on the floor.
Rose intentionally sat next to Ji Thrush and the others, and explained in a low voice:
"My ability is partial skin hardening."
The red-haired beauty spoke quickly:
"The degree of hardening is about the same as that of an alloy plate, and each time the hardening range is not large, only about two palms wide. However, it is enough to resist Lu Ming's bite just now."
-I see.
Ji Thrush understood.
He remembered that when they first entered the "world", Rose said that there were three supernatural beings in her team.
Now he already knew that Linglong's ability was healing, Huang Fatty was controlling small objects to move in mid-air, and Rose was partially hardening the skin. In this way, the other party could tell them the whole story, and the cooperation was full of sincerity.
"okay, I get it."
Captain Xiaoniao replied softly, and exchanged glances with Rose. The two of them tacitly agreed, and naturally looked away, and sat down.
"Looking at your attire, it should be sent by the research institute."
The old pastor walked to a small table, put down the lantern in his hand, and sat on the only chair in the cellar. He saw the white tunics on Ji Thrush and the others, and shook his head helplessly:
"Oh, unfortunately, it's too late."
Just when Ji Thrush was about to ask what "too late" meant, the sound of wood rubbing against stones suddenly came from behind.
The crowd had just been tossed to death by a group of bone monsters outside, and when they heard this movement, they were all out of their wits, and they all jumped up as if they had stepped on a switch, drawing knives and guns.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
The pastor immediately comforted him loudly:
"It's our people! It's our people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cabinet in the corner suddenly slid open.
Only then did everyone discover that there was a small secret door hidden there.
A chestnut-haired woman with one hand on the door, the other holding a UV lamp and a mirror under her arm, came out of the door.
"Her name is Anne. The purple light on the clock tower you saw outside just now was made by her."
The old pastor explained to everyone:
"We heard gunshots here, and knew that someone must be coming outside. We were afraid that you would not find a hiding place, but you dared not go out, so we had to use a mirror to reflect the light, so that you knew you should run this way."
"so… "
Ji Thrush stared at the narrow doorway, "Can this door lead to the bell tower?"
He was actually a little worried. The wooden door didn't look very strong, at least it looked much more brittle than the welded iron fence made of thick cast iron. Those skeleton monsters still had brains, and their IQs were not low. Will it counter-invade this cellar from the bell tower
"do not worry."
The brunette woman named Annie seemed to see the worry on Ji Thrush's face, and explained actively:
"Those things out there can't climb the bell tower, and..."
She paused, put down the ultraviolet lamp and mirror in her hand, and added:
"After you know how they hunt, you will know that they can't get in."
Ji Thrush and the others really wanted to know what the hunting mode of those monsters was right away, but the priest in black robe wanted to start from the beginning.
"Ten years ago, something was unearthed in the mine behind our town."
The old man said to them:
"That is the twin body of light and darkness, a treasure given to us by the sun god and the moon god, and it is also a test."
Ji Thrush: "..."
—Here we come, special lines for fooling the magic stick! The classic plot in the horror movie!
He complained in his heart:
Regardless of what the haunting thing is, as long as it has something to do with religious themes, it is bound to have a mysterious opening statement, throwing all the blame to the angels and demons, anyway, I just don’t tell you how to get it done they!
At this moment, he almost had an impulse—he just rushed up and grabbed the red silk scarf under the old man's collar, and directly shook out all the details!
