Chapter 93 Unknown

Having had many experiences fighting in the fog, we all know the dangers of the fog. In addition, it is still night, so it is best not to get caught in the fog.

In the fog, we are equivalent to fighting away from home, but for those abnormal units, fog and night are simply a double buff.

You have to retreat as far as possible outside the foggy unit.

Apparently, others thought so too.

Our group decided to find a place without fog.

Fortunately, there is a building next to the cafe where we are.

I just avoided the moon and took a look through the gap in the window. The fog did not spread to the top of the building.

As long as we go upstairs, the fog will not spread to us for a while.

But it is really difficult to drag Jiang Wang, a frightened guy, to go with him.

Seeing that he was still crying and shouting, Chen Yubing frowned, strode to his side, and slashed his neck with a sharp knife.

Jiang Wang's sobbing stopped abruptly.

Seeing this guy's appearance, I felt helpless. There was nothing I could do except to observe two seconds of silence for him in my heart.

After knocking Jiang Wang unconscious, Chen Yubing carried him on his back.

While she was looking away from Jiang Wang, she turned back and said to me:

"Ji Ling, remember to lead the way later. And now we all listen to you."

"ah?"

Chen Yubing's sudden words made me feel a little overwhelmed. Logically speaking, changing the commander at the last minute is a big taboo.

But considering Chen Yubing's temporary lack of ability, I still hesitated for a moment.

Maybe she has other considerations.

Although I always hate taking responsibility, the current situation is obviously not the time to talk about these things.

Deep down, although I was a little scared, I knew it was time for me to step out of my comfort zone.

Although the burden on me is heavier, it also gives me motivation.

I want to get all my teammates out of here alive.

With this thought in mind, I nodded solemnly to Chen Yubing.

"Let's go, let's leave here first and go to a place without fog. Follow me."

As I said that, I took a deep breath, opened the door and went out.

Walking into the fog, the visual distance was less than five meters as night fell. Although I could rely on sound and air flow to judge the situation in the fog, others could not.

To ensure that we wouldn't get lost, I took out a rope from my backpack, tied it around my waist, and then gave the other two ends to Chen Yubing and Lin Hanning respectively.

Seeing that the two of them had also tied the rope, the three of us formed a triangle and walked towards the building.

This position was not very safe. There could have been a better solution, but Jiang Wang was knocked unconscious and could not cover the retreat. In addition, Chen Yubing lost his ability and could not clear the way.

So we can only stand in this position and slowly move towards the building.

The rope I reserved for myself is longer, so that my movements will not be restricted too much by the rope. At the same time, it can also ensure that I can immediately eliminate monsters within a certain distance, thereby ensuring the safety of other team members.

Fortunately, the building was not far away, and it only took us a few seconds to walk into the building.

In just a few tens of seconds, the first floor of the building was shrouded in fog.

To make matters worse, the building's structure was more complex than I'd expected. Even though my vision wasn't severely obstructed, I couldn't tell where I was now.

Faced with this situation, I started to get nervous.

Fortunately, I had observed this building before.

The staircase entrance here is not far from the door.

It's not difficult to find the entrance as long as you search

But it turned out that my idea was a little naive.

In the fog with such low visibility, I was running around like a headless fly.

It was only five or six meters away, but it took me five or six minutes to find it.

Just when I started to get anxious, Chen Yubing gently pulled me back.

"Ji Ling, go this way."

Chen Yubing carried Jiang Wang on his back and pulled me to the right.

I turned my head and saw that the place was indeed the entrance I had observed before, but I accidentally overlooked it because of my nervousness.

I am really unqualified as a temporary commander.

But now is not the time to issue a confession of guilt. I stood in a relatively forward position and continued to lead the way, while keeping an eye on the situation behind me.

It wasn't until we reached the third floor that we finally walked out of the range of the fog.

Because this is an office building, we found a larger office on the third floor to rest for a while.

Seeing that it was temporarily safe, I untied the rope, and Chen Yubing threw Jiang Wang to the ground.

Seeing Jiang Wang still in a coma, I turned to look at Lin Hanning.

"Try to wake him up and see if he behaves like this again after he wakes up."

"good."

Lin Hanning nodded slightly, walked to Jiang Wang, and put her hand on Jiang Wang's forehead.

As the ability was activated, Jiang Wang opened his eyes after a moment.

After opening his eyes, he looked around blankly. After realizing that this was not a cafe, he asked Lin Hanning beside him.

"Chief, where is this place? Aren't we on guard in the cafe?"

"What alert? Have you forgotten what you did?"

Seeing Jiang Wang's confused look, I was really angry.

It was because he took the initiative to look at the moon that he was scared like that.

As a result, the old man acted as if I didn’t remember anything, which made my teeth itch.

"I really don't remember anything. I just remember seeing the fog outside turn red, and then I don't remember anything."

"Do you still remember what happened when you looked at the moon?" I asked him with a frown.

"What do you mean by looking at the moon? I really don't know what you are talking about."

Jiang Wang answered me with an innocent look on his face, and while he was speaking, he was touching his neck.

"Ah, why does my neck hurt so much, as if someone hit me."

Seeing him like this, I was both angry and amused, but since he had woken up, I was too lazy to say anything.

As for why he didn't remember anything, I didn't understand the reason, and judging from the expressions of the others, it was obvious that they didn't know either.

And now is not the time to delve into this.

I looked at Jiang Wang worriedly.

Logically speaking, Jiang Wang has recovered his fighting ability, so I should be relieved.

But the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense.

I always feel like something is about to happen.

Just when this uneasiness reached its peak, the whimpering sounds that I had heard in my dream came from all around the building.

When I heard this sound, I quickly said to Chen Yubing beside me, "Chen Yubing, did you hear that strange sound?"

Chen Yubing was a little confused: "No."

I thought she would also hear strange noises, but Chen Yubing didn't.

I also asked Jiang Wang and Lin Hanning the same question, and their answers were the same as Chen Yubing's.

But even though they all said they didn't hear any other sounds, I could hear the sobbing sounds more and more clearly.

"What did you hear?" Chen Yubing asked with a frown when he saw my expression.

In order to find out the truth, I quickly ran to the window.

Because the windows of this building are floor-to-ceiling windows, I can see everything outside clearly from the window.

After the whimpering sound was heard, the fog below the building began to churn.

Moreover, the fog was not only swirling, it was also rising continuously. After a while, the fog that was originally only on the second floor had spread to the third floor, and at this speed, the fog would soon reach where we were.

Faced with this situation, I quickly shouted to the people behind me who were still resting.

"The fog is coming up, let's go up quickly."

Hearing my call, everyone got up quickly, picked up their equipment and continued up the stairs.

We didn't stop until we reached the seventh floor. In order to see clearly whether the fog was following us, Jiang Wang went straight to a room on the seventh floor.

After a while his voice came out.

"Ji Ling, come and see!"

Hearing Jiang Wang calling us, we also walked into the room.

After entering the room, I was shocked by the scene in front of the window.

The fog under the building was like red clouds, which changed into various human faces as they kept rolling.

I even felt that the sobbing sounds came from those faces.

"Ji Ling, what is this? Have you ever seen it in your dream?"

Chen Yubing's expression was also a little ugly. He was obviously shocked by this scene. The scene in front of him was really too weird.

At this moment, the strange whimpering sound suddenly became stronger, accompanied by red clouds that looked like human faces.

I felt as if thousands of wronged souls were seeking my life, making me a little dazed.

Unconsciously, I slowly raised my head and wanted to look at the night sky.

Suddenly, I heard familiar frequencies of varying lengths in my ears.

I woke up suddenly when I heard this sound.

When I woke up, a layer of cold sweat had appeared on my forehead.

Almost, I almost saw the white moon.

If it weren't for this voice, I might not have been able to get out of this strange state.

Morse code sent another reminder!

And the content this time is exactly the same as what I heard the first time.

"Run away!"

I was horrified and subconsciously wanted to leave, but we were in an office building and there was fog downstairs. Even if we could go up a few more floors, what would happen after we reached the top floor?

Besides running away... there has to be some other way...

At this moment, a hand rested on my shoulder.

"Ji Ling, you are not at peace." What surprised me was that the person who said this was not Chen Yubing, but Jiang Wang.

When I heard this, I suddenly realized that my heart had been in turmoil ever since I temporarily took on the task of command.

"Whatever decision you make, we believe in you."

I looked at Chen Yubing somewhat helplessly. Her expression was the same as Jiang Wang's.

Lin Hanning also nodded at me.

I don’t know if it was because I was encouraged by their expressions, or because the Morse code was still ringing intermittently, but at this moment I actually felt a lot calmer.

"Keep going upstairs."

I knew that the fog would eventually spread to the top floor, and by then, there would be no way to retreat.

But at least, we can delay a little longer, every second counts, and as long as we can get through the night, the situation will get better.

I took the other people upstairs while organizing my thoughts.

Judging from Jiang Wang’s reaction, the moon cannot be looked at, whether it is red or white.

We made our way all the way to the tenth floor. At this moment, moonlight was shining in from the window, casting two colors on the ground, one red and one white.

At this moment, the frequency of Morse code suddenly sounded again.

"It's looking for you, don't let it find you."

Don't let it find you?

Although there must be monsters in the fog, and more than one, I always feel that this "it" is not a monster, otherwise the Morse code would not specifically remind me.

Maybe we should hide, but without even knowing what we're hiding from, I don't think simply finding a closet or a secret hiding place will help.

"Be careful, something is looking for us."

Although I don’t know what it is specifically, it doesn’t affect my ability to convey the information. Information sharing is very important at this time.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the team became even more tense.

"What is that?" Jiang Wang subconsciously lowered his voice, fearing that something would suddenly jump out of the darkness and swallow us up.

"I'm not sure, but it's finding us."

My answer was so ambiguous that I couldn't even explain it. Although I could have told them directly that I heard Morse code, my intuition told me that it was better not to.

They'll be caught and studied...

By then, even if Chen Yubing, Song Nanxing and others wanted to protect me, they might not be able to do so.

Fortunately, no one asked me how I knew the information, and all three of them cooperated and increased their vigilance.

The fog had not yet spread up, and I was just about to lead them up a few more floors when I suddenly noticed the moonlight reflected on the ground.

Because I had the lines on the floor as a reference, I remember clearly that the moonlight on the ground was only two grids at the beginning, but now it is three and a half grids.

Even if the Earth's rotation affects it, it can't be that fast...

It’s as if the moon is searching for something with its moonlight.

An extremely absurd possibility suddenly popped into my mind.

Is it possible that... the "it" that the Morse code just reminded me of is the moon?

Although it is absurd, considering the content of Morse code, I think it is very likely.

After just thinking for a while, the moonlight moved a little deeper.

It was even about to shine on us.

"Be careful with the moon! Don't look at it, don't let the moonlight catch your eye."

I warned in a low voice, leading everyone back a few steps into the shadows.

Two beams of moonlight, one red and one white, were still moving inward, forming a vague crimson boundary line where they intersected.

"Continue to go upstairs and try to lean towards the side facing away from the moonlight."

I turned around slightly and said something to the three of them, then continued upstairs holding the rope.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard Chen Yubing say.

"The moon is beautiful tonight, let's go and see it."

This time it wasn't just me, everyone heard it.

only……

The voice came from Jiang Wang.
