Judgment Day [Unlimited]

Chapter 59

This was Xie Xingyin's first time entering a high-level mission, and what he encountered was a zombie dungeon.Although the task process is not very complicated, running, hiding and fighting in the occupied city is really physical work. In the end, Lao Liang hardly even has the strength to talk.Lu Fen did not come back for a long time, Xie Xingyin and the others entered the pagoda with Ye Xing under his arrangement.This kid looks dishonest on the surface, but in fact he still has two brushes, leading them to successfully complete the task.

It has been seven days since several people came out of the tower.Back at the base, Lu Fen was still not there, and he didn't know what he was so busy with recently.

Lao Liang was sitting on the sofa, eating an apple while reading a roadside newspaper: "Oh, it seems that something serious happened."

Xie Xingyin didn't know what the "big event" he was talking about, but his heart trembled subconsciously, and he looked at the newspaper he was holding.I saw the same thing was reported on the front page of the newspaper in a large space: the team of the second expedition of the Daytime Guild did not return as scheduled.

In the tavern a few days ago, Xie Xingyin heard the old priest talk about the second expedition, but he did not expect that they had already set off, almost seven days after they entered the tower.

Old Liang sighed: "Let me just say, this kind of thing is too dangerous, isn't it enough to learn the lesson from last time... If you don't come back on time, it's probably a bad luck..." But Xie Xingyin didn't answer, As soon as Lao Liang looked up, he saw that his face was not very good-looking, and his eyes were still staring at the newspaper, wondering what he was thinking.

"Old Xie?" Lao Liang tentatively called him, but unexpectedly, Xie Xingyin didn't respond, and suddenly got up and walked out the door.

—

In the base during the day.

Natalie and a group of other left-behind members sat in the living room with serious expressions.

"It shouldn't be. According to the original plan, they should have come back two days ago, how could they still not be able to contact—"

"I can't help it. Wait another day. If you haven't come back, the second echelon will go out of the city to search and rescue."

Natalie sighed, pushed back her seat, and walked out of the conference room.But as soon as she went out, she saw Xie Xingyin not only why he appeared here.

"You—" She was obviously a little surprised.

Xie Xingyin decided to trick him, and said calmly: "I know everything."

"..." Natalie looked at him, "What do you know?"

But Xie Xingyin didn't answer directly, and calmly said: "Ye Xing drank a lot a few days ago, so I told you all about it."

Judging from Natalie's expression, Ye Xing seemed to be a habitual offender, so she couldn't help but believe it.

Natalie was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: "Yes, Lu Fen is our president, and he brought you back from the Forbidden Forest that day."

"Take me out of the city together, I know the way." Xie Xingyin said.Natalie didn't want to do this at first, but under his insistence, she had no choice but to take Xie Xingyin with her.The people who stayed in the base didn't have much experience of going out of the city. Only Xie Xingyin and Lu Fen had been to the camp recently, so they probably knew the way.

Without further ado, the matter was quickly settled.That night when everyone went to the market to buy equipment and supplies, Xie Xingyin also bought the mirror he had seen before when no one was paying attention.

Few people would enter the Forbidden Forest at night, and the guarding soldiers were taken aback, but they were released after careful investigation.As soon as they left the city, the group started to rush on their way frantically.

The atmosphere of the Forbidden Forest at night is actually quite terrifying and depressing. The cold wind that blows through is filled with unknown strange noises, and the front, rear, left, and right sides are full of thick and terrifying darkness. I don’t know what kind of creatures are lurking in the night.Fortunately, everyone was in a state of anxiety and hurried on their way, so the panic was not so strong.

Everyone lit the torches, and after leaving the city, relying on Xie Xingyin's memory, they went all the way north, and found a few signs.However, seeing that they were about to reach their destination, when they were less than five kilometers away from the camp, the group of people walking in front suddenly stopped.

"Wait, there seems to be a team ahead."

Xie Xingyin looked into the depths of the dense forest, and saw faintly dotted lights in the distance, as if there was a group of people there.His first reaction was that he thought it was Lu Fen's team, and he was overjoyed, but on second thought, something was wrong.The other party did not use torches for lighting like they did, but rather advanced lighting equipment, so that Xie Xingyin could spot them from such a distance.Apparently, the other party has a lot of fear in his hands, and he is not at all afraid of attracting inexplicable creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

It must not be Lu Fen. It is unlikely that Lu Fen and the others still have such a large amount of lighting equipment.

Natalie thought for a while, then waved her hand: "Turn out the torches, everyone climbs the tree first, don't make any noise."

Soon, several torches were extinguished.The flames in the distance swayed, from far to near, and came to them in a short while.Xie Xingyin squatted on the tree, quietly peeking out from the gaps in the branches, and saw that those people were all tightly dressed and fully armed, it was hard to tell who they were, but they were by no means members of their guild.

When the group of people walked away, he heard someone scolding: "Damn it, it turned out to be these grandchildren of the church. What are they doing here?"

Natalie's expression was not very good-looking, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. She jumped off the tree in a flash, and then greeted the others with a serious expression: "Let's go."

—

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the camp.They found traces of burning in the bonfire outside the tent. Xie Xingyin squatted down to pick out the charcoal and found that the inner charcoal was still warm, which meant that someone must have used it recently.

I don't know what the group of people who taught just now came for, but they have quite sufficient lighting equipment, and they certainly don't need to light a bonfire for a long time for lighting.

Natalie said: "They should have passed by here on their way back, and it is very likely that it is near here. Everyone looks for it separately and returns before dawn."

The Forbidden Forest at night was full of dangers. Everyone distributed weapons and supplies, divided into groups, and began to search separately around the camp.After walking into the depths of the dense forest with a short torch, Xie Xingyin heard a strange sound, similar to some kind of rhythmic knocking sound, which was very weak.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

"Tuk, tuk, tuk..."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

The sound was actually not loud, but it was amplified a lot in the dead and silent forest, making it appear very ethereal.The people in the company seemed a little panicked when they heard this: "What, what sound?" After all, in this ghost place, no one knows what ghost things will be encountered, and any abnormal noise may sometimes be fatal.

Xie Xingyin also frowned, only heard the voice intermittently, but it was very rhythmic when it sounded, as if to seduce people to go over.

"What should we do? It seems to want us to go there." The fellow companions wondered.

"Then shall we go there?"

"Wait a minute, we don't know what that thing is yet, so if you are told to go, you can go, won't you be enlightened?"

"Shh, be careful, let's go around and touch it from behind."

The others were discussing carefully, but Xie Xingyin who was at the side suddenly pulled up and ran towards the source of the sound for no reason.

"Hey!" The others didn't know what to do, but seeing him running there like a bewitched man, they could only pick up their weapons and follow.

Xie Xingyin ran all the way, he didn't know what he stepped on, the dead branches and leaves were crackling, and he didn't feel the sharp weeds scratching his skin.After running forward for a while, he heard that strange sound became more and more obvious.

"Duk, duk, duk, duk, duk, duk, duk..."

Three short, three long and three short.

No matter how weird this forest is, it is impossible for ghosts and ghosts to play with the distress signal.There must be a living person in front.

Soon, Xie Xingyin ran out of the dense forest to a clearing.The knocking sound not only disappeared, but also disappeared.The rest of the people rushed up, and after hearing his explanation, everyone split up to look for it.

Xie Xingyin looked up and saw a towering stone wall beside him - they seemed to be at the bottom of a certain cliff, the cliff was covered with unknown vines and small shrubs, and some dark depressions were unknown Is it the hole of some animal.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Here!"

Xie Xingyin immediately ran over following the sound, only to see two or three people gathered around the bottom of the cliff, carefully helping someone up.The moment Xie Xingyin raised the torch and saw the face clearly, Xie Xingyin felt that his heart was about to jump out.

He recognized Lu Fen immediately.

Soon, other people helped Lu Fen aside, someone reached out to test his pulse, and said, "It probably fell from above, and the heartbeat is still stable."

I don't know if he was caught by the rattan rope on the cliff when he fell, but he didn't fall to his death at such a height, it was indeed fatal.It was the first time that Xie Xingyin saw him wearing the silver-black uniform of the guild. The dark cloth could not see any blood stains. Only when he was lifted up did he see some dark blood stains on the ground, as if he had been injured before falling off the cliff. .

After they brought Lu Fen back to the camp, other people who were searching nearby also came back one after another.The others had nothing to gain. Although some people in Lu Fen's team were found around, most of them were already dead, and their bodies were almost stiff.

Xie Xingyin's expression was serious after listening to the reports of others.I don't know what happened to this group of people on the way back, so that they suffered so many casualties.

That night, Xie Xingyin did not fall asleep.

Although Lu Fen concealed many things from him, looking at his appearance, Xie Xingyin was still quite worried.

He was thinking about Lu Fen, so Xie Xingyin walked out of the tent lightly, wanting to go to the next door to see how he was doing.Before he entered the tent, he heard conversations inside.

Looking through the gap, Lu Fen seemed to have woken up, and Natalie was talking to him with a serious expression.

"...what did you find?" Natalie asked.

Lu Fen was not in a good condition, and coughed: "City. We found that there are countless other cities like the main city outside the Forbidden Forest."

Xie Xingyin at the door suddenly widened his eyes.

In this way, what the old priest said was confirmed.It turns out that there are countless cities like this outside the Forbidden Forest, and people have been watching the sky from a well.Hengcheng was the first city to be tried, but it was by no means the last.

This is not a judgment day for one person, not for a city - the whole world is being judged!This is Judgment Day for all mankind! !
