Chapter 74 The Weird Under the Bridge

The time is 3 pm.

Zhang Xiaoman was standing by a small river, frowning in thought while looking at the foggy scene in front of him.

"It's not right...it's not right..."

He muttered to himself.

The scene in front of him is very strange, the gray fog shrouded the front, but the rest of the surrounding area is not seen at all.

When it comes to fog, it's impossible to have only the small piece in front of it.

"It seems that there may be something strange here."

Zhang Xiaoman cheered up and walked slowly along the river.

But it is more like a small ditch than a river.

The width is only three meters in total, and the water depth is only half a meter. You can see the silt at the bottom at a glance.

This is a town in the south of the city, and it is one of the three places that Li Xiang sent him yesterday where strange events were reported.

A local villager once left a message on the Internet saying that there is a strange fog here, and there is a small bridge below, and you can often hear miserable and terrifying howls.

Zhang Xiaoman originally had the attitude of giving it a try and asked the other party to help him collect intelligence.

But to his surprise, it seemed that he would gain something from the first place he had just set out to explore.

Looking around, there was no one else.

Zhang Xiaoman activated the ability of the sand soldiers to appear, summoned two fully armed sand soldiers from the soil, pulled on the hood and mask, and then walked closer to the dense fog.

"It smells bad!"

As soon as Zhang Xiaoman came in, he smelled a strong stench, like a rotting quagmire filled with corpses, making people feel sick.

When this stench was outside the fog just now, it was only faint and unintelligible, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusting after entering.

Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself, wait a minute, no matter what kind of monster it is, just because it dares to let such a smelly "fart", he will beat it to death himself.

He reached into his pocket and took out the thermal imager he bought. Zhang Xiaoman opened it and looked outside through the observation port.

However, to his surprise, all he saw in front of him was a piece of snow, and the instrument seemed to be malfunctioning.

"What's the matter? It was fine when I tested it before I came here."

Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled. He looked around the thermal imager and restarted it several times, but nothing changed.

He took out his mobile phone and took a look. Zhang Xiaoman was surprised to find that there was no image on his mobile phone.

After thinking for a moment, a somewhat surprising conjecture suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Could it be that...is the cause of these fogs!?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoman took a few steps back and left the fog.

When he looked at the phone screen again, he saw that the image that had disappeared reappeared, and the thermal imager returned to normal.

"This fog can even interfere with the operation of electronic equipment!"

Zhang Xiaoman was really surprised this time.

If you want to ask what weapons humans can hold in the face of these strange things, it is undoubtedly the power brought about by high technology.

But if these can't be used, it's hard to imagine what kind of fate humans will face when encountering monsters in the future.

The appearance of this idea made Zhang Xiaoman shudder.

However, he knew that now was not the time to explore this issue, and he no longer hesitated, and re-entered the fog.

Without the help of detection equipment, Zhang Xiaoman's field of vision became very small.

At the same time, considering the possible sneak attack, he had to slow down and explore slowly along this small ditch.

Ordering one soldier to clear the road ahead, and the other to protect him, Zhang Xiaoman's muscles were tense, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

In this way, after walking about 500 meters, he finally saw a somewhat dilapidated small bridge. Presumably this should be the "bridge from which howling terror" was mentioned in the intelligence.

The small bridge is very compact. It spans over this small ditch, and there is a small bridge hole below it, which is only large enough for two or three people to pass through at the same time.

Zhang Xiaoman directed a sand soldier to board the bridge, and then carefully observed it, but he did not encounter any attack, and he did not hear the so-called terrifying cry.

He frowned and thought, then turned his eyes to the bridge.

"Maybe the weirdness is there?"

He leaned over and looked there, but he couldn't see anything wrong. In desperation, he had to take the sand soldiers to see it in person.

The edge of this ditch is a slope extending downward. Zhang Xiaoman carefully descended the road along the slope and came to the edge of the bridge hole.

After getting close, he felt as if he heard something moving.

"Woooooooooo..."

It was like someone was crying, and it was like the sound of wind leaking from the window.

He suddenly remembered the story that Sixth Master once told himself. According to his description, wasn't it the same situation at that time?

While thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoman was already approaching the bottom of the bridge.

As he got closer, the voice became clearer and clearer, and when he came under the bridge, he could already see the scene inside.

There, on the side wall of the bridge hole, there are dark red lines, like blood vessels.

And in the middle of those lines, a heart-like meat ball was beating continuously, and there was a small round mouth on it, and wisps of mist erupted from it.

"Got you!"

Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

However, at this moment, the strange heart contracted suddenly, the muscles on the surface wriggled, and it completely changed in vain.

When he looked closely, he saw that it turned out to be a face exactly like his own.

Then, when I saw the mouth on the man's face, a terrifying wailing sound came out.

However, although Zhang Xiaoman felt that the sound it made was a bit unpleasant, there was no other discomfort.

Maybe the sound of this thing was just plain disgusting.

Of course, it is also possible that his current 3 o'clock mental power has resisted the opponent's mental attack.

In short, there is nothing particularly scary about this weird heart.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered a sand soldier to walk over slowly, intending to end this annoying thing with one shot.

However, at this moment, a burst of water suddenly appeared in the ditch on the side, and in the mud, a figure was rushing towards him quickly.

Zhang Xiaoman was startled by the sound and looked back immediately.

The next moment, in the splash of water, an ugly monster suddenly jumped out of the water, and a large mouth full of sharp teeth continued to enlarge in his field of vision.
