"I didn't expect to come to such a remote place. Logically speaking, we shouldn't have met them …"
On the driveway, the guard looked at the building that appeared not far away and thought to himself with some relief.
He turned to look at Xiao Pan, who was walking silently in the crowd, and asked, "Is this the right direction?"
Rejoicing was one thing, but he still had to do his part …
Xiao Pan first nodded, then suddenly stretched his neck and took a deep breath. His expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Is there a situation?" The guard's heart skipped a beat, and he asked very sensitively.
"Yes, there's a very pungent smell, a bit like zombie blood, but there are some differences. I can't say for sure," Xiao Pan replied methodically.
Someone in the crowd interrupted, "Could it be a mutated beast?"
"It's possible. There are many types of mutated beasts, and the smell is also different. I can only roughly tell, but not the specifics." Xiao Pan nodded.
Seeing that Xiao Pan gave an affirmative answer, the team suddenly became restless.
"Does this mean there's a mutated beast in front? Then let's not go over … "
"You idiot, didn't you hear that it's bleeding?"
"Yeah, even if it's a mutated beast, it's still injured."
After a brief moment of panic, someone in the team said, "You guys, how do you think this mutated beast was injured? Could it be … them? "
"It's possible! They can lure the mutated beast in, but can they control the mutated beast's movements? Maybe they're reaping what they sowed. "Someone echoed with some anticipation.
"That's right, they're going around in circles, so it's easier for them to encounter the mutated beast than us."
"I just don't know what's going on with them. If the mutated beast has the upper hand …"
The discussion in the team heated up again, but considering that there were still mutated beasts nearby and that the enemy was likely to be here, they consciously lowered their voices a lot.
But from their conversation, it was not hard to tell that these team members were somewhat restless.
If Ling Mo's group was in trouble, then the danger they were in would be greatly reduced.
Even if they could not bring Ling Mo back to claim the reward, it would be good to capture one or two of his companions …
Seeing this scene, the guard was also very depressed.
If it was Captain Song leading the team, would they still dare to say so much?
Moreover, he was in a terrible mood at the moment. What he feared had come true!
They had clearly arrived at such a remote place, and it was with great difficulty that they could finally heave a sigh of relief. Never did they expect to bump into each other here!
The possibilities analyzed by his teammates sounded very reliable to him …
"Me too. Stop pretending to be responsible! And that Little Pan, are you that inflexible? "
The guard cursed under his breath and suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "Don't you think it's very quiet up ahead?"
In his opinion, this was a strange point. If he brought it up, perhaps his teammates would back off …
"Yeah, it's quite quiet," someone said.
"Could it be that the battle is over?" someone guessed.
"That's possible …"
"Do you want to take a look?"
As soon as this question was raised, all the team members looked at the guard.
"Captain, their tracks are right in front of us. Should we go check it out?"
"That's right. If there's any danger, we can just retreat."
"They're in a hurry to escape. They won't fight with us. Besides, we're approaching from behind …"
"Captain, what do you say?"
The guard really wanted to cry. What else could he say!
"Let's go take a look …" The guard bit the bullet and said.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh —
The sound of the grass swaying stirred up the group's nerves. They tried their best to get as close to the center of the road as they carefully and nervously approached the small square.
As they got closer, the shadows that were originally shrouded in darkness gradually became clearer.
"There's no one …" someone said as they looked at the empty square.
Little Pan, however, turned his gaze towards the fountain and slowly walked over.
"Follow me," the guard said.
At this time, he didn't dare to let the team split up. There was strength in numbers …
Although this was a big target, he couldn't wait to alert the enemy …
Little Pan quickly found two drops of blood on the ground near the fountain. Then, he used the tip of his knife to pick up some and put it under his nose to sniff.
"This is the smell, and it's still very fresh. It probably hasn't been more than two minutes since it flowed out," he said as he sniffed.
"Less than two minutes …" The guard's face became more and more unsightly. Only such a short time had passed. This meant that Ling Mo and the others were nearby …
"Let's look again," Little Pan said as he put down the knife.
There was nothing to look for in this empty square, and no one would rashly go into the grass to investigate.
But after Little Pan looked at the building a few times, he suddenly sniffed.
"Is there a problem inside?" the guard asked uneasily.
Little Pan said with some uncertainty, "I'm not sure. The smell inside is not very strong, but it's a very strange smell …"
As he spoke, he had already walked toward the building.
The guard's expression was perturbed, but he could only wave his hand and follow with his men.
"If it's just a probe, there shouldn't be any problem. I'll just look at the door. Once I'm sure they're there, I'll immediately send a signal!" He held the pistol tightly and thought to himself.
But when he reached the door of the building, the guard found that his idea was still too optimistic …
"The dance club …"
He glanced at the dusty sign, then looked inside through the crack of the door.
The light inside was much darker than outside, but after a while, he still vaguely understood the situation inside.
Behind the door was a corridor with rooms on both sides. After turning the corner and going upstairs, he would probably reach the dance classroom.
In such a complicated environment, what could he determine by standing at the door?
"F * ck!"
The guard couldn't help but swear, then he carefully pushed the door open.
"Listen, as long as you find them, no matter what their situation is, don't be obsessed with fighting. Once the signal is sent, someone will come to help. Also, leave two people at the door. If there's any movement, send the signal as soon as possible, "the guard instructed again.
"Got it …"
"Don't worry, no one wants to die."
As the door was completely opened, the guard swallowed and quietly stepped into the corridor.
There was a lot of waste on the ground, as well as many suspicious old marks.
The guard wanted to see if there were any footprints, but in the end, he gave up a little helplessly.
However, from the outside, the building seemed to be in an abandoned state.
"If only it was like this," the guard thought.
For a moment, only the sound of Xiao Pan's continuous inhalation came from behind. He was trying to determine the direction of the strange smell.
"Can you find it?" someone asked in a low voice.
Xiao Pan said, "This place is basically closed, and the smell has become much stronger. I can find it."
With Xiao Pan's sense of smell confirming the location, no one touched the doors on both sides, and everyone followed behind.
Little Pan sniffed the air as he walked deeper into the corridor.
At this moment, someone whispered, "It's too dark in here …"
"Stop talking." The guard was a little angry.
If there was really someone here, it was likely that they were already lying in ambush.
They hadn't alerted the enemy before, so they had to be even more careful now.
Although the guard wasn't a professional commander, he still had basic survival knowledge.
He had purposely lengthened the line and left someone outside to prevent a sneak attack.
No matter how powerful the other party was, could they get rid of all of them in one go?
The further they went in, the darker the surroundings became. They couldn't even see the faces of the people around them clearly.
However, with Xiao Pan walking in front, the group was still relatively calm.
Occasionally, there would be a faint sound coming from the line, which made the guard very annoyed.
Couldn't they be extra careful in such a quiet place?!
"Fortunately, the sound is soft enough, so it shouldn't attract attention …"
Soon, Xiao Pan arrived at the staircase leading to the second floor following the smell.
Seeing him look up, the guard lowered his voice and asked, "How is it? Can you confirm that there's someone here?"
"I can't be sure. The smell is too strong. Even if there's someone here, it'll be covered up." Xiao Pan shook his head.
"Then … let's go up," the guard said through gritted teeth.
The corner of the staircase was a large mirror, and it looked very human in the dark.
The dusty mirror made the figures look even more blurry, but when they passed by, the guard couldn't help but look inside.
However, he was stunned when he saw what was inside.
It wasn't until Little Pan had climbed up a few more steps that the guard finally raised his gun slightly, trembling.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him. "You'd better not move."
The guard's body stiffened. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly felt dizzy. At the same time, he felt pain coming from his wrist.
When he fell to the ground and came to his senses, his right hand, which was holding onto the gun, was empty.
A thin figure appeared before him, holding onto the gun. "Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you."
"You …"
The guard shrank back in fear, but there was already a wall behind him.
He couldn't see the person's face clearly, but the voice left a deep impression on him!
The figure before him was the one who had appeared at the headquarters!
Just now, in addition to seeing his own figure in the mirror, he had also seen the figure of this person.
The blurry figure had raised his hand, seemingly wanting to reach out and grab his shoulder …
But how did he do it? Where are the team members?
Right … there's still Xiao Pan!
The guard quickly raised his head to look up the staircase and was stunned once more.
