Chapter 345: Terrifying Ruins
At this moment, Wu Jinqiang and Han Zichu were looking around carefully, hoping to find any trace of the card.
However, after searching the ground, it was still empty.
Han Zichu frowned, turned her head, and asked Wu Jinqiang in a low voice:
"What should we do now? The clues to the cards are broken. Where should we go?"
Wu Jinqiang did not answer immediately, his eyes were fixed straight ahead.
He squatted down and looked carefully at the place where the last card fell.
Then he raised his head again and glanced around the corner.
"Wait!" Wu Jinqiang whispered, "Look, two meters ahead, next to the ruins of the building, is there a door?"
Han Zichu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a doorway half-hidden by rubble and debris in the ruins ahead.
She nodded quickly in response:
"I see! There is indeed a door there! You mean... Dezhi might have gone in?"
Wu Jinqiang nodded.
"The card cuts off the clue here. Dezhi might be in the ruins of the building!" Wu Jinqiang's eyes were fixed on the half-open door in front of him.
"It's possible! Let's go in and take a look!"
After saying that, the two of them cautiously approached the entrance of the building.
Their steps were light, and they tried not to make any noise so as not to attract the attention of the mechanical aliens.
However, when they walked through the door, the scene before them was completely different from the battlefield outside where flames were blazing.
The interior of the building was dark due to the collapse, with only a few faint rays of light shining through the gaps, barely illuminating a small area.
Han Zichu's heart was beating fast, and she held Wu Jinqiang's arm tightly with both hands:
"I'm a little scared... A child shouldn't hide here, right?" She looked around in the darkness, but the darkness made her feel uneasy. "It's so dark and quiet here, could it be a trap? Could those mechanical aliens have ambushed here?"
"Shh!" Wu Jinqiang suddenly stopped and placed his index finger lightly to his lips, signaling Han Zichu to be quiet.
His eyes were fixed on the darkness ahead, and his ears moved slightly.
Han Zichu immediately held her breath, stood there nervously, and stared at Wu Jinqiang.
"Can you hear me? There are some noises inside." Wu Jinqiang said in a low voice.
Han Zichu nodded, pricked up his ears slightly, and listened carefully to the movements around him.
There were bursts of strange noises coming from the dark building.
"Da, Zi, Hiccup——"
The sound is intermittent.
"What's that sound? What on earth is that sound!" Han Zichu's voice was pitifully small. "It sounds like someone is walking... No, it sounds like something is crawling on the ground, or more like a heavy object is being dragged forward... Oh my God, it's so scary!"
She held Wu Jinqiang's arms tightly with both hands, her fingertips trembling slightly.
The darkness and strange noises around her made her feel creepy.
Wu Jinqiang's brows were twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川". He said anxiously:
"No matter what the situation is, we have to rush over to check it out immediately. Dezhi is probably right ahead. If we delay for a second, he will be in more danger!"
After he finished speaking, he took a step and slowly walked towards the source of the sound.
Seeing this, Han Zichu hurriedly followed Wu Jinqiang.
“Wait…wait for me!”
When Wu Jinqiang and Han Zichu cautiously moved forward less than a few meters, the strange noises around them suddenly disappeared.
The entire building fell into deathly silence.
However, what troubled the two even more was that two doorways appeared in front of them.
"No way! Why is there no sound all of a sudden?" Han Zichu's hands tightly grasped Wu Jinqiang's arm like a pair of pliers and shook it vigorously, "Jinqiang, which way should we go?"
Wu Jinqiang frowned and quickly glanced at the two doorways.
"Tsk, these two doors look similar, who knows which one is the right way?" He paused, how about... we each go through a door! Acting separately, this way it will be more efficient and we can find Dezhi as soon as possible. " "Huh? !"
Han Zichu gripped Wu Jinqiang's arms even tighter with both hands.
"I...I really don't dare!" Her voice was as thin as a thread. "It's so dark here that you can't see your hand in front of you. It's so quiet that it makes people feel creepy. What if...what if I encounter a ghost?"
Wu Jinqiang felt the strength in her hand and sighed helplessly:
"Hey!"
Afterwards, Wu Jinqiang carefully observed the scenes inside the two doors.
The doorway on the left was pitch black, while the doorway on the right had a faint glimmer of light.
After a moment, his eyes fixed on the ground at the right doorway, where there seemed to be a hint of reflection.
"There's something over there!" Wu Jinqiang said in a low voice.
He took quick steps and moved towards the door on the right.
Seeing this, Han Zichu quickly grabbed his arm and followed his pace.
When Wu Jinqiang squatted down and picked up the reflective object:
"It's Dezhi's card!"
Han Zichu came over quickly and looked at the card carefully:
"Yes! That's right, this is Dezhi's!"
"Dezhi should be inside this door. The noise just now might be related to him!"
Han Zichu nodded quickly:
"Then let's go in and take a look!"
Wu Jinqiang and Han Zichu continued to move forward cautiously.
The surrounding darkness made their movements extremely difficult.
As the two of them moved forward.
suddenly!
"Boom, boom"
Two crisp sounds were heard.
Han Zichu felt his heart suddenly shrink, and his heartbeat instantly began beating wildly in his chest like a drum.
Her hands suddenly grasped Wu Jinqiang's arms tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh:
"Brother Qiang...something...something fell on my head!"
"Don't panic, look what it is!"
Han Zichu's heart was beating fast, but she tried to calm herself down.
She slowly raised her head and looked above her head.
Wu Jinqiang also followed her gaze and looked upwards.
Just as their gazes touched the top of their heads, two pairs of huge eyes suddenly appeared in their sight.
The eyeballs were like lanterns hanging from the top, staring straight at them.
This scene made Han Zichu's pupils shrink suddenly, and her mouth opened slightly, as if she was about to scream in the next second.
Wu Jinqiang reacted and became alert instantly. He suddenly covered Han Zichu's mouth with his hands, applying a little force with his fingers.
"Shh!" He lowered his voice and winked at Han Zichu, signaling her to be quiet.
Han Zichu closed his eyes, then quickly stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed upwards.
"Ghost."
