Chapter 294 [Survivor] (Part 2)
Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong had already arrived at the top of the island. It was still dark. Standing at the highest point of the island, they were in a vast ocean, and the roar came from the southeast side. Only a small part of the monster's blue back floated out of the sea. It was not swimming fast, and there was no water column spurted out by whales at the top. Zhang Changgong said, "It's not a whale."
Luo Lie nodded, of course not. When the monster attacked the Japanese gunboat, he could see it very clearly. The monster had two front paws and its huge head was pentagonal. In Luo Lie's memory of the future, a monster called Kusla once appeared in the Sea of Japan, but it should be the product after Japan suffered a nuclear explosion. The earliest documentary record of this monster was in the 21st century. Could it be that this monster had existed before it was recorded?
Zhang Changgong said: "I hope this thing won't climb ashore."
Luo Lie said: "It shouldn't be. If you climb ashore with such a large body, you will definitely leave obvious traces. Most of the islands we have searched, and if there are any traces, we will definitely find them."
Zhang Changgong used to make a living by hunting, and knew better than Luo Lie. He nodded and said, "Not bad."
The two of them temporarily threw the monster aside and began to search at the top of the island. The top of the island was only a thousand square meters, and they could see it at a glance. Due to the geographical environment, there were no tall vegetation here, but only some low shrubs and wormwood. Most of the seasons are withered and yellow, with only a few evergreen trees adorning them.
In the center, there is a crater with a diameter of about five meters and a smooth edge. Standing on the edge, looking down, it is not bottom-out. Luo Lie found a stone and threw it down. After a long time, he didn't hear an echo.
Zhang Changgong said: "It's deep enough, it may go straight to the center of the earth."
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "It's not that deep. This should be an extinct volcano, and you can't even smell the smell of sulfur."
Zhang Changgong sniffed, but he really didn't smell the scent of sulfur. Although he was a hunter, he still felt ashamed of his careful observation of the environment and his meticulous thinking in front of Luo Lie.
Luo Lie observed the crater, and Zhang Changgong looked around for traces of whether there was anyone before. Zhang Changgong could almost conclude that no one had been here for a long time before the two of them arrived. It seemed that Lao An had not arrived here with Hai Mingzhu. Otherwise, even if Lao An could hide the trace, Hai Mingzhu would not be able to do it, and Zhang Changgong couldn't help but become nervous again.
He came to Luo Lie and said, "They probably didn't come here."
Luo Lie nodded and said, "Even if they come, they have to have a hiding place, unless they hide in the crater. I just observed it. The crater is small outside and large inside, with smooth inner walls, and can start with almost no gaps. Not to mention them, even Brother Zhang, you may find it difficult to enter it from here."
Zhang Changgong said: "This island is just that big, where can they hide?"
Luo Lie said: "I believe Lao An will harm Hai Mingzhu for a while."
Zhang Changgong was not as optimistic as him. Lao An hated Hai Liantian to the core. He had wanted to kill Hai Mingzhu many times before to take revenge on Hai Liantian and make Hai Liantian suffer for life. If it weren't for his protection, Hai Mingzhu would have been dead long ago. Now Hai Mingzhu will definitely be in danger.
Luo Lie said: "You relax, someone is staring at him."
Hai Mingzhu woke up from her coma and found herself in a dark cave. A bonfire was lit in front of her. Hai Mingzhu blinked and wanted to get up, but found that her hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes, and her mouth was stuffed with rags, so she could not make a sound to ask for help. Hai Mingzhu was extremely panicked and looked around and saw a person walking out of the cave in front, holding a bundle of just chopped firewood, and throwing it to the bonfire.
What made Hai Mingzhu frightened was that the person who came was actually Lao An. In her opinion, it was better to be eaten by monsters than to fall into Lao An's hands.
Lao An patted his hands, then looked at Hai Mingzhu with a cold look and said with a grim smile: "Are you awake?"
Hai Mingzhu's breathing became rapid due to fear.
Old An said: "I finally believe that the cycle of retribution is unhappy!"
Hai Mingzhu bent her legs and kicked her feet and moved backwards. Because her limbs were tied, she could only move in this way.
Lao An walked towards her, reached out to grab her hair, approached Hai Mingzhu's face, and gasped, "Do you know what did Hai Liantian do to me?"
Hai Mingzhu couldn't speak, and her heart was filled with panic, and she burst into tears. She just hoped that her tears could make this demon-like enemy soft-hearted. However, she also knew that there was almost no possibility. She thought of Zhang Changgong. He clearly said that he would protect himself. Will he come? Can he find himself? The more Hai Mingzhu thought about it, the more sad she felt, and she kept crying.
Lao An said: "You don't have to be afraid. I won't kill you. I will chop off your hands and feet, scratch your face, and make your life worse than death."
Hai Mingzhu wanted to pray to Lao An to kill herself with one knife, but she would rather die than become an ugly monster without any hands and feet.
Lao An pulled out the dagger and his eyes fell on Hai Mingzhu's feet. Hai Mingzhu's shoes and socks were lost, and his white and tender feet also had many bloody mouths. Lao An said: "The demon Hai Liantian raped my wife, and he also stabbed my wife's palms with iron nails..." When he recalled the past, Lao An trembled all over because of the pain.
He grabbed Hai Mingzhu's right foot, he wanted to treat him with his own way, and he wanted Hai Mingzhu's daughter to taste the pain of his wife and children. Hai Mingzhu struggled desperately, but unfortunately her strength could not escape Lao An's palm at all. She choked helplessly. In this place where the earth and earth should not be called "Da Tiantian" was unsatisfied, she could only accept a tragic fate.
Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong returned to the bottom and told them what they had observed. Several people discussed it and decided to continue searching around. Since Lao An and Hai Mingzhu boarded this island, it would not be possible to disappear out of thin air. Zhang Changgong made up his mind to find Lao An even if he digs three feet into the ground.
Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong were in the same group. He was a little surprised. Lao An and Hai Mingzhu were gone, why did Ando Ink disappear? Didn’t he go to track the two of them? Why is there no news now? With Ando Ink’s ability, it should be enough to deal with Lao An.
Just as Luo Lie was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of a stone falling to the ground in front of him. Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong noticed it at the same time. Ye Qinghong took out his pistol, and the two walked in the sound one by one.
Before he got close, he smelled a familiar smell of tobacco. Luo Lie had not smoked for two days, but his sense of smell became particularly sensitive, especially for the smell of this cigarette, which he gave to Ando underground.
Luo Lie signaled Ye Qinghong to put away his pistol. Seeing that there was no one around, he said: "Mr. Ando."
There was a cloud of smoke rippling in front of him, and Ando was obviously still invisible underground. He grabbed a small stone from the ground and threw it towards the rock wall ahead. Luo Lie walked in the direction where the stone fell to the ground. After walking a few steps, there was no road ahead.
Ye Qinghong picked up a headdress from the dead leaves. This headdress did not belong to her. Among so many people who came to the island, except Ye Qinghong, there was only one woman, Hai Mingzhu. Obviously, this headdress was lost by Hai Mingzhu. Judging from the headdress, Hai Mingzhu should have been here, but now she has disappeared.
Ye Qinghong looked around and found nowhere to hide. She secretly wondered, was Ando Ink in her heart interested in teasing Luo Lie? Then she thought that it was unlikely that at this time, Ando Ink in her heart should not be that boring.
Luo Lie stopped in front of the rock wall hit by the small stone and whispered: "You mean, did they go in from here?"
Ando sucked a cloud of smoke from the underwater, which outlined his facial contour. He nodded, and then the smoke quickly dissipated. Ye Qinghong couldn't help but feel creepy when she saw such an incredible scene in front of her. Fortunately, Ando and Luo Lie reached a cooperation agreement. If this person stood opposite them, it would probably cause them a lot of trouble.
Luo Lie patted the rock wall. The rock was huge, so it was obviously impossible to move with human power. Ando tracked all the way downstairs, and he should be thrown away by Lao An when he chased him here, and he could not move the huge rock. Since Lao An could enter it, it proved that he should know the mystery of the mechanism.
The secret that Lao An knew should have been concealed by Bai Yunfei deliberately. At this time, footsteps approached and Ando hid quietly in the underwater. He didn't want too many people to know his existence. Before leaving, he threw a cigarette to Luo Lie. Luo Lie caught the cigarette, took out a lighter to light it.
Although Ye Qinghong knew that he was helping Ando to cover up, her expression was still a little angry. Didn’t he say he had quit smoking?
Zhang Changgong and the other two came closer. The blind man sniffed and said, "I just said you can't quit, how about you getting addicted to smoking." He squeezed his eyes proudly at Lu Weilin. It turned out that the two of them had made a secret bet. Lu Weilin thought Luo Lie could quit smoking this time, but the blind man thought it was impossible. From now on, the blind man won.
Ye Qinghong told them three of them about what he had just discovered. Zhang Changgong also recognized that this was Hai Mingzhu's headdress. Since the headdress was found here, it proved that Hai Mingzhu had been here.
Luo Lie said: "Qinghong and I have checked around. This stone may have hidden mechanisms, but we just don't know how to enter it."
Zhang Changgong walked over, grabbed the stone and pushed it hard, but the rock remained motionless.
At this time, the people who were originally resting at the foot of the mountain also began to move upwards, because the tide was spreading continuously, and they were about to come to where Luo Lie and the others were.
The tide rose very quickly, and the rock was completely submerged by the sunset, and everyone had to continue to move upwards. Although Zhang Changgong was worried about Hai Mingzhu's safety, he was helpless in the face of the reality in front of him.
