Chapter 902 Trap

Although Fatty Huaiyi didn't understand why, after this period of contact, the two of them subconsciously chose to follow Jiang Cheng's words.

But just when the three of them worked together to pull Gongsun Zhiruo up, a strange scene appeared. No matter how hard the three of them tried, the rope couldn't stop falling.

It's bad...

The fat man's face was pale. The current situation was completely beyond his imagination. The force from the rope pulled them towards the crack little by little, as if the other end of the rope was not tied to Gongsun Zhiruo, but something else that they couldn't resist.

"Let go!" Someone shouted at them.

It was Shang Mo.

He watched the three people getting closer and closer to the crack. If they moved forward a little further, Jiang Cheng, who was in the front, would fall down.

But Jiang Cheng ignored him. His eyes were always fixed on the swaying light spot under the crack. Huai Yi originally planned to let go. Now the situation was obvious. Zhou Yuxuan was afraid that he was finished. Gongsun Zhiruo, who went down to rescue people, also had problems. The probability of being able to withdraw safely was very small. But his only worry was that if he let go, Jiang Cheng and Fatty would be pulled down immediately. So Jiang Cheng didn't say to let go, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on.

The light spot below was still drawing circles at a fixed speed. Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shudder after watching for a long time. He found something very scary.

The circles drawn by this light spot were a little exaggerated.

Normally, when a person draws a circle with his arm, the diameter of the circle generated by the circular motion of the fingertips will not exceed 2 meters due to the length of the person's arm, but the diameter of the circle below is probably 4 or 5 meters.

In this way, the arm length of the "person" who fell and asked for help below must be more than 2 meters.

Although there is no accurate reference, there will be errors if we only rely on the size of the light spot, but such an exaggerated proportion still shocked Jiang Cheng.

The guy below is definitely not Zhou Yuxuan!

This is a trap!

The huge force from the other end of the rope and the rope that keeps sliding down are enough to prove this.

Just when Jiang Cheng was making his last effort, suddenly, a shout came from not far away, "Close your eyes!"

Then, after a muffled "bang", the darkness in front of them was dispersed by a red flash. If Jiang Cheng and the other two were not prepared, they would be blinded instantly.

A red signal shot into the depths of the crack at a tricky angle, instantly illuminating a large area.

The exposed scene made everyone gasp.

Below the crack, on a platform created by a fracture in the ice layer, there squatted a humanoid figure that looked like a mummy. The exposed skin showed a strange blue-gray color. It raised its withered head and stared at them.

What's more terrifying is that the mummy is so huge that even if it squats on the ground, it is nearly 3 meters tall. Moreover, the mummy is holding a broken arm in its hand that is constantly drawing circles. In the palm of the broken arm, a glowing mobile phone is tightly grasped.

No one has seen the missing Zhou Yuxuan, but everyone knows that Zhou Yuxuan is dead, and the broken arm belongs to him.

This mummy is the starving ghost. On it, there are some yellow tattered pieces of cloth wrapped around it, and there seem to be words on it, just like the one held in Chanli's hand.

The sudden light obviously exceeded the mummy's expectations. It immediately covered its eyes and kept retreating, and finally disappeared into a deeper crack.

And where the starving ghost squatted before, there was a fragmented corpse.

Shortly after the starving ghost disappeared, the blizzard gradually thinned out, and surprisingly, Gongsun Zhiruo was still alive. Jiang Cheng and the other three worked together to pull him up.

His forehead was covered with a layer of frost, obviously frozen, but fortunately, except for being frightened, he was fine.

Bai Xi was holding a strange-shaped gun in his hand, and it was self-evident who the flare came from.

After finding that Gongsun Zhiruo was fine, Bai Xi and the others sincerely thanked Jiang Cheng and the other two, "Mr. Jiang, thanks to you, otherwise Gongsun Zhiruo would also be in danger."

Faced with such a crisis just now, Jiang Cheng and the other two never let go, which greatly moved the rest of the people.

Looking at the signal gun in Bai Xi's hand, Jiang Cheng nodded, "If it weren't for your shot that exposed the starving ghost, I'm afraid we would have to let go."

Jiang Cheng was telling the truth. If he was closer to the rift, he would have to let Fatty and Huai Yi let go. He would save as much as he could, and it was impossible for him to sacrifice his brothers for a teammate he met for the first time.

This was not cost-effective, and even more unreasonable.

"Thank you." After Gongsun Zhiruo recovered a little, the first thing she did was to thank Jiang Cheng and the other two with trembling lips. Her face was pale and her lips were purple. You can imagine how frightened she was.

Zhou Yuxuan died, and they lost another teammate. The atmosphere of sadness and despair permeated the team. This was a normal reaction of people, and Jiang Cheng could not stop it.

Han Juanjuan sat on the ground with a sad expression on his face. Zhou Yuxuan was his teacher, and they had a good relationship. In the last mission, the other party even saved his life.

"Fuck!" I don't know what Han Juanjuan thought of, but he suddenly cursed, stood up, walked straight towards Shang Mo, pointed at him and shouted: "If your grandson hadn't been obsessed with money, how could he have released the starving ghost?"

"You are responsible for Teacher Zhou's death! It's all your fault!" Han Juanjuan became more and more angry, and his eyes became fierce.

Bai Xi immediately walked out and grabbed him, "Calm down!"

"And Chanli, you are also responsible for Chanli's death!" Han Juanjuan shouted relentlessly. It seemed that if Bai Xi let go, he would rush up and beat Shang Mo severely.

Shang Mo, who was scolded, didn't know whether he was guilty or what, and didn't dare to talk back. He had already felt that everyone's eyes looking at him were no longer friendly.

"Okay, say less." Finally, Zigui came out, and Han Juanjuan shut up. Bai Xi pulled him to a place farther away from Shang Mo.

After the starving ghost disappeared, the blizzard gradually subsided. Everyone packed up their backpacks and continued on their way.

The fat man finally glanced at the broken corpse under the crack, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. Although he was used to seeing death in the mission, the departure of each teammate would make him depressed.

He himself didn't know whether this was weakness or a kind of awe for the lost life.

But there is one thing he is sure of, before all this is completely over, no one can escape the influence of the nightmare, even if they can survive the mission, then those who survive will have to bear the despair of the dead.

So, it is hard to say who is luckier than who, everyone is just a poor person struggling hard in a nightmare.
