Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 202 202. The lurker in the dark

Dark, cold...

The sound fades away.

Dean felt like he had slipped 80 meters in the spiral tunnel.

When his feet stepped on solid ground again, he rolled in a circle close to the ground and relieved the inertial force.

I stood up and searched around from my God's perspective. This was a place with a structure similar to an underground passage. The darkness was mixed with the light of a flashlight. In the light, the female college students who had been thrown to pieces had just gotten up.

"Julie, Luna, Halle, Maeve, are you all there? How is everyone?"

"God bless, no one was hurt," Luna picked up the flashlight and shined it on the walls on both sides, with a look of shock on her pretty face, "But where is this place? Why is there an underground passage in the warehouse?"

"I'm scared...I have claustrophobia." The Asian girl leaned close to her companion and began to cry again.

"Be strong, honey Maeve, everyone is thinking of a way!" Harley put her arm around her shoulders, resisting the urge to complain and blame, and looked around, "Who has an idea?"

"Can you climb up again?" Luna walked to the tunnel that sent them in and touched it. The slope was very steep and the side walls were smooth and hard. Even a rock climbing master couldn't find a point to focus on. No. It is possible to return to the ground from here.

Dean looked around and saw that he could use his telekinesis to move himself up, but the distance between here and the ground exceeded the observation range of his perspective, so he couldn't send the girls up.

If he leaves first and looks for ropes elsewhere, he may encounter unpredictable changes underneath.

"Unfortunately, this place cannot be accessed."

Dean's words made everyone's hearts sink.

"I learned from the seniors that this was originally an abandoned chemical plant and industrial land." Julie touched the wall behind her by the light of the flashlight, "So this wall should be made of concrete and metal."

"Even if it is used to secretly store chemical waste, it is not necessary to build such a large underground tunnel." Luna looked at both ends of the passage. On the right was a dead end with high walls, but the other end was passable.

"It also has something to do with the American army." Dean added, scanning the top of the passage, but only found dark, hard rock formations.

"So this is an underground military, secret base?" Maeve finally plucked up the courage under the comfort of her companions, and her brain was running at high speed. "I have read some information, and there should be some similarities in places like this. There are control rooms and generators. , and another exit for escape.”

"Everyone, hurry up and move," Harley pointed to the only passage on the right, "Look for the control room. I can't breathe. I suspect the air here contains toxic components."

"Don't be alarmist, you just drank too much and are not sober. By the way, just obey my instructions and you will be able to get out." Dean's calm expression calmed the panic of several girls.

Next, Dean took out another flashlight from his arms for lighting, and walked to the front immediately, with the four women slowly following behind him.

"Why did you prepare two flashlights in advance?" Julie glanced at Dean's thin denim jacket, her eyes shining in the darkness,
"This is the basic quality of a private detective... I also carry a lighter and a self-defense M1911." Dean revealed the holster on his waist.
"It's great to have you." Luna opened her red lips and smiled.
"Now is not the time to be crazy, sisters, pay attention to your surroundings." Harley reminded, "This place is very wrong."

The five people followed the right side of the passage and got into deeper darkness.

This passage was not straight, but kept turning and going deep into a certain place. The terrain was gradually decreasing as they walked down the stairs one by one.

Metal pipes gradually appeared on the walls on both sides and on the increasingly higher ceiling, with water and some kind of liquid slowly flowing through them.

But the air here was stagnant and dull, and there was an uncomfortable faint smell. The temperature was several degrees lower than the ground. The girls in cool clothes began to shiver unknowingly.

In addition, the surroundings were pitch black and dead, and among the soft footsteps, there were only the messy breathing and heartbeats of everyone.

The darkness and unknown lasted for too long, and fear grew.

Everyone couldn't help but have a premonition, as if something terrible would suddenly jump out of the darkness and attack them!

"I can't stand it anymore." Maeve couldn't help shouting in agony, squatting down with her head in her hands, "I can't get out, you go away and leave me alone."

"Calm down, honey," Luna resisted the urge to complain, put the flashlight into her hand, and gently stroked her long hair, "Take it, you won't be afraid. And there are five of us, We will protect you."

"That's right, we swore back then that sisters would share the same hardships." Harley and Julie also squatted down and put their arms around Maeve's shoulders and back to warm her body. "If you want to leave, let's go together."

Dean turned around in surprise, saying that the reason why they were in this situation was because of Maeve running around. It was rare that no one blamed her.

Dean's eyes softened a little, and he didn't rush. He glanced forward, suddenly his expression condensed, and he slowly walked towards a wall ten meters away.

After the four of them, Maeve, recovered from their panic, they saw Dean reaching out and pulling off a piece of debris from the wall, putting it in front of his nose and smelling it, and then frowned.

"What's wrong, have you found anything?" Luna pressed her delicate body against her again, turned her gaze to the wall, and suddenly discovered a large dry dark red mark.

"This is blood." Dean said this, and the system progress immediately changed: 12.00% → [-]%, "It comes from humans, and the amount of bleeding is huge."

"Has anyone been seriously injured here?" Luna frowned,
"Don't scare people!" Julie and the three people behind could not help but hug their companions.
"This is not a joke. Come on, stay close to me!" Dean ordered. Maeve, who had previously claimed to be claustrophobic, suddenly recovered from her serious illness and jumped up behind him like a rocket.

"Can you use a gun?" Dean asked again, looking at the panicked faces. Julie and the three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
Luna smiled confidently, "I have participated in the police station's volunteer training."

Dean handed over the M1911 and pulled out an M1900 for his own use. "Be careful, don't hurt your own people."

"Don't worry, I've taken the ten rings countless times." Luna pointed the muzzle upward and loaded the gun cleanly.

With the gun, Luna seemed more confident.

The remaining three girls followed Dean closely as if they were too frightened, not daring to breathe and looking around nervously.

This underground passage is very large.

After walking for 10 minutes and turning several corners, they still could not see the bottom. Instead, they found more than a dozen pools of dark brown blood on the walls and floor. The amount of bleeding was large, and some were mixed with rotten flesh and bone fragments.

"Who left the blood stains?" Luna asked Dean, holding the gun tightly, "Any other unlucky person who accidentally fell in?"

Dean nodded, thinking that there was a high probability that the innocent people kidnapped by Gracie's team every half month were attacked.

"What's hurting them?" Harley poked her head from behind Dean's neck and asked carefully,
Dean pondered, "There were no bullet holes caused by firearms or missing bullets next to the blood stains, and the distribution pattern of the blood did not appear to be caused by gunshots, indicating that the attackers did not use thermal weapons.

"Cold weapons, bare hands, or something else..." Maeve shrank her shoulders unconsciously, "I'm scared."

Julie stiffened her neck and forced a smile, "Don't scare yourself, maybe they accidentally broke their arms and legs after falling, and they bled a little."

The sisters nodded desperately, but their faces were sickly and pale.

"Look ahead." Dean pointed ahead. The one-way passage that had remained unchanged for thousands of years finally changed, and two forked roads appeared on the left and right.

"Which way should I take?" For a moment, all four pairs of eyes looked at the backbone. Dean muttered and swept in both directions from God's perspective.
Scanning not far away to the left, he suddenly became focused, and a ghostly shadow flashed past his perspective.

This thing moved so fast that Dean didn't have time to lock it. He could only vaguely see that it had a human appearance, but like a beast, he stepped on all fours and stepped on a row of drainage pipes behind the ceiling and threw himself into the darkness, leaving the observation range from God's perspective. .

But something was thrown over by him, and it rolled down the passage towards several people with a rumble on the ground.

Dean walked over and picked it up - it was a round, wet eyeball with residual blood and a few optic nerves. At a glance, one could easily think of an eyeball that had been gouged out alive. Scenes.

Luna glanced at it, immediately covered her mouth and retched, then raised her gun and aimed it into the darkness.

Halle and Julie's faces turned pale, and they clung to each other's backs, shaking their flashlights wildly to dispel the gloom with light.

Maeve was so frightened that she retreated to the wall, covering her face and wailing.

"God! Are these human eyes? Who threw them here?"

"I didn't see clearly, it seemed like it was another person." Dean's tone was still calm, but excitement flashed in his eyes, "He was warning us not to take the left road."

"Then I don't want to go to the left!" Maeve turned around and ran to the right, but as soon as she took a step, she seemed to hit a wall of air and was bounced back. Then Julie, who had quick eyes and quick hands, held her down and pressed her forehead against hers. He touched her forehead and looked directly into her eyes, "Don't run around and listen to Dean's arrangements!"

Dean nodded to Julie, "Let's go to the left! The guy warned with a guilty conscience, which means there is key information hidden on the left!" After saying that, Dean walked straight into the passage on the left, and the three women dragged him hard and tried to run into the right. Maeve, who was in the passage, followed.

Tap Tata.

But within two minutes, Dean suddenly stopped and spread his hands backwards to make a stop and silence gesture.

Luna gritted her teeth and raised her gun, walked over to Dean, and stood shoulder to shoulder.

Julie and the others pricked up their ears, their hearts beating in their throats.

puff puff.

They heard a slight sound passing quickly from the depths of the passage, like a fly flapping its wings, but the sound did not come from the ground parallel to them, or from beneath the ground.

But -

The women raised their heads and looked at the ceiling. A drainage pipe trembled slightly, visible to the naked eye.

From Dean's perspective, a humanoid creature was approaching on all fours like a cheetah. He was wearing a camouflage military uniform, and on his face twisted with anger, a pair of eyes shone in the darkness like an animal.

"Wait! What the hell is that?!"

"Boom!"

Luna raised her pistol in fear and fired several shots at the ceiling, but her self-proclaimed ten-ring shooting skills were completely ineffective. She didn't even touch the skin of the thing, and it was all shot into the air.

Amidst the piercing gunshots, it had already come five meters away from the crowd, and jumped down from the front of the pipe above its head. The flashlight illuminated his corpse-like bluish horse face covered with sarcoma, and a mouthful of tiny teeth like steel needles protruding from his lips.

The horror on the women's faces froze instantly.

Pfft!
Dean turned his head slightly at him, and the invisible power of his mind turned into a battering ram and hit the approaching figure from the side.

Tons of force immediately knocked him into the wall, but his ability to withstand beatings was not weak.

The moment he landed on the ground, he pressed down the muscles of his legs and tightened them like springs. Then he kicked off his feet, and like a cheetah hunting for prey, he pounced towards Dean, who was standing at the front of the queue. He had finger webs like a frog. His claws flashed with sharp cold light.

The fishy wind bursts.

His speed is so fast that he can kill even a human fighting champion in an instant!

Unfortunately, this time he encountered another inhuman being. His speed and strength that easily killed ordinary people were completely crushed in front of him!
Dean just waved his right hand with all his strength and delivered an uppercut from bottom to top. His fist passed through the attacker's claws and the defensive void on his chest, and hit his chin.

Click.

The crisp sound of fractures.

The attacker's falling figure paused, his neck raised, and a forked tongue stained with black blood and several rotten teeth came out of his mouth.

Black blood splashed onto Dean's body, and was dropped to the ground by the ghost armor bullets, corroding into bursts of white smoke.

After Dean punched him, he raised his knees, stretched his toes, turned his feet, and flicked his legs. He aimed a powerful and heavy whip at the body that was temporarily suspended in the air. The huge force made him fly three meters like a sandbag and hit him. the wall and slid down.

But this time, before he could get up, his mind force restrained his body. He couldn't open his mouth or move his fingers. He could only stare at a few people with a pair of vertical pupils like glass balls protruding from his eye sockets. , releasing a cold and violent aura.

Several women were so frightened that they trembled.

Dean had already tested the target's strength and speed. He walked up to him without hesitation and grabbed his head and chin.

click-

Twist it to the left and quickly push it to the right.

After his neck rotated 360 degrees, his body lay stiffly on the ground.

"Almost twice the speed, reaction and strength of ordinary people..." Dean pulled off the man's clothes and took a look at his chest and back. The skin was covered with fleshy bumps like toad sebaceous glands. Some of his methods of spraying poison were useless. Come out, "Weak as the worst nocturnal species, unable to trigger supernatural hunters."

This feat can only draw power from targets whose attributes exceed Dean's.

In addition, Dean was surprised to find that the boy in his arms did not respond at all, and could not draw the soul from this guy.

"This...what the hell is this?" Luna, who had retracted her gun, slowly walked behind Dean and looked over his shoulder at the evil-looking figure on the ground.

It has skin as blue as a dead man, full of fleshy bumps, a mouth filled with jagged but sharp yellow teeth, eyes protruding like a frog, and a huge and moist nose. It has no eyebrows, beard, or hair, but it has a pair of triangular eyes. The wind-catching ears look extremely ugly and ferocious.

"Maybe it's some kind of humanoid monster, a toad man?" Dean looked at the investigation progress that soared to 20.00%, and realized that this thing was 100% related to the American military.

"It, why is it wearing a military uniform?" Julie also noticed this abnormality, squatted down, and curiously wanted to touch the black nails on the monster's finger webs.
"You can only ask the mastermind behind his creation. Don't touch it, be careful of the poison!"

"Ah, okay!" Julie retracted her hand like an electric shock.
Behind her, Hallie hugged Maeve tightly, her two faces, one black and one yellow, pressed together, wiping her tears.

"Sisters, is this a nightmare? We somehow fell into such a dark underground passage, and were attacked by terrifying monsters. Oh wow, can we still get out?"

"This is a movie! You're hiding it from me on purpose, right?" Maeve glared at Dean and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Where's the exit!"

"Wake me up!"

Snapped!
Unable to bear it, Luna rushed over with her long legs and slapped Maeve hard. She scolded Maeve in the face of her disbelief, "Show respect to Dean. If you want to survive, just obey his orders honestly." Don't make noises that affect his mood and hold everyone back!"

"Maeve, don't be afraid." Julie comforted with a look of helplessness, "No matter how powerful this monster is, it has been eliminated. As long as everyone follows Dean closely, he will be able to return safely!"

The four of them looked at Dean's unprecedentedly tall back. Such a terrifying monster was beaten to death by the Asian detective in front of him with his bare hands.

He didn't even use his pistol.

The four of them felt that he was emitting light as strong as the sun. This light dispelled the fear in their hearts and the darkness in this claustrophobic space.

Harley and Maeve came to their senses and approached Dean as if they were rubbing oil on their soles.

"Let's go, keep moving forward." Dean stepped over the body and walked into the darkness, and looked back. From God's perspective, he keenly captured a few black shadows flashing on the drain pipe in the distance, but they seemed to know that they were powerful. Didn't come over hastily.

Dean's head was clouded. How many of these things are there?

If there are more than a dozen of them, he can still deal with them, but if dozens or hundreds of them come up at once, he can only fight in the abyss.

At this time, Luna smoothed her messy red hair and walked side by side with him, showing a smile of sincere admiration.

"How on earth did you get so good at it? You can kill a monster with three punches and two kicks. Movies don't even dare to do that."

Dean smiled and shook his head, his steps becoming more hurried.

Soon, they found a special room at the end of the passage.
