Chapter 435: Infected Lair

The door opened and closed, and a figure flashed in.

He was wearing a gray cloak, covering his head and body, and he was so sneaky that he almost wrote suspicious on the cloak.

Old Swain or Little Jack? No, neither, the body shape is wrong.

Lynch was thinking, and saw the cloaked man looked around, and after confirming that there was no one in the room, he took off the hood of the cloak.

I don’t know him, but I seem to have seen him somewhere.

Fuck, no, it’s him.

“It’s Jackson, Mayor.” With the cover of the phantom sound, Lynch was not worried about each other’s voices being exposed. “He should be here to see his son. It seems that we are right. Little Jack is with Old Swain.”

The Mayor’s face was full of tension and expectation. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm his rapid breathing. He walked quickly through the porch, without even looking at the stairs leading to the second floor and the basement, and went straight to the living room. He walked straight to the fireplace and reached in to pull something inside, then twisted the candlestick on the wall.

With a creaking sound, the bottom of the fireplace slowly moved sideways, revealing a staircase leading down.

"Hiss, this is a regular customer. I can't be so skilled even with the blueprint." Lynch curled his lips, "But I don't have to worry about how to open the door without being discovered. I'm going in, wait for me to come back."

"Stop talking nonsense, be careful."

Natalie is still so rude, but I like it.

Lynch grinned, holding a pistol and a cane, and fell silently behind Jackson.

The tunnel was dark, but there was a faint light at the end. The city lord walked down holding the candlestick, and before going downstairs, he did not forget to look back, and then pulled the pull ring on the wall to close the entrance to the secret passage, and then went down all the way, without any fear of the dark environment.

Following the spiral staircase, Lynch estimated that he had descended at least 20 to 30 meters before finally seeing the bottom, but before he stepped on the ground, a strange roar came from deep underground.

As the city lord approached, countless roars sounded at the same time, one after another, crazy, chaotic, and irrational. The roars were like a beast that saw flesh and blood that it had not seen for a long time. The almost materialized bloodthirsty breath was enough to scare people.

Lynch's breathing was a little chaotic, but the city lord acted as if nothing had happened. He just paused, then muttered a few words in an incomprehensible language, and continued to walk as usual.

Lynch behind him whispered to the conch: "Can you understand what he said?"

Judy's voice came from the conch: "Is it worth it?"

"Huh?"

"He said it."

"I understand."

Lynch nodded and followed.

The following is more like an underground nest than a basement. This environment looked familiar to Lynch. Thinking carefully, it was very similar to the photos taken by the female reporter Maya when she went to interview the mountain people before, except that one was a solid cave and the other was a rough cave.

The underground tunnel, which was more than one person high, was winding. The oil lamps in the grooves of the wall were as small as beans. The weak light made the tunnel dark. Whenever there was a roar from the depths, the airflow would blow the flames to shake, as if the light of hope could be extinguished at any time.

Following the footsteps of the city lord, we went deeper into the tunnel. There were several caves on both sides. It was pitch black inside and we couldn't see the situation clearly. Only bursts of rotten smell came faintly from the darkness.

Lin Qi frowned and tried to focus his eyes to see more clearly. However, just when he was most focused, a large area of ​​red dots suddenly lit up in the cave, followed by a deafening roar.

I eat lemons, can you guys give me some signs.

Lin Qi's heart almost exploded when he was attacked suddenly when he was most focused, and his hair stood up. However, although the roar was terrifying, what really made Lin Qi nervous were the red dots that suddenly appeared. They were obviously the faint light reflected by the blood-red eyes of the infected.

The red dots flashed and disappeared. Roughly estimated, there were at least a dozen infected people inside.

There are more than expected. Are these the infected who know how to escape?

However, while Lynch was thinking, he had already followed the city lord to the second cave. Looking at the equally dark cave, Lynch suddenly had an ominous premonition and quickly prepared himself mentally. At the same time, the experience just now reappeared, and there was another roar of infected people.

Why are there more?

Lynch's heart tightened, realizing that Old Sven had quietly converted a large number of infected people within a day. The infected people in these two caves alone were enough to cause a lot of trouble in the city. If there were more...

Looking at the tunnel ahead, which was unknown how deep it was, Lynch swallowed his saliva and felt a little scared. Fortunately, he did not rush in rashly, otherwise such a small space, these fearless infected people alone would be a troublesome matter, not to mention that the two most important targets had not yet appeared.

The situation was better than expected. Only the first four caves were full of infected people, about fifty in number. Lynch was quite thankful that the spread of the infection was contained. These should have been transformed one by one with food. Otherwise, God knows how many infected people would be hiding here. When they were released into the city outside, they would not need the plague sky curtain, and it would be enough to destroy the city within half a day.

I just don't know where these people got in. Lynch estimated that there was another exit underground, otherwise dozens of people came in and out of Dr. Swen's house, which would be a big joke.

Just thinking about it, I heard the city lord in front sigh softly. Lynch noticed that it suddenly became brighter not far away, and light came out from a cave.

The city lord immediately quickened his pace. Before he reached the cave entrance, he heard a hoarse voice with dissatisfaction in his tone. The city lord became more and more impatient. He responded while trotting into the cave.

Lin Qi did not dare to follow in too arrogantly. He just lay at the entrance of the cave and peeked in carefully. There was only one person inside. He was not a ghoul as imagined, but an old man in human form. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Dr. Swen. He should be the human form of her father, Old Swen.

This place also looks like the mountain cave taken by Maya. There are many strange red figures painted on the walls, which look like words and murals. There are many thin lines hanging from the top, and strange skeletons and wooden men are hung on them. There are bottles and jars scattered on the ground. There is a pungent and unpleasant smell in the whole cave.

"Can you hear clearly?" Lynch asked in a low voice unconsciously, "What are they saying?"

"The mayor is blaming Sven for making such a big noise. Didn't they agree to spread the problematic flour? Who knows how many more citizens will die now?" Judy briefly repeated, "But he didn't care much. Then he asked when Jack could really be resurrected. They said..."

"You said he could be resurrected, I believe you. You said he must be buried and let the crops absorb the dirt in his body. I believe you. You said those people must be used for experiments to ensure Jack's resurrection. I also believe you. We are old friends. I never doubt you. No matter what the price, I just want my Jack back."

"Is he back now?"

"That's not my Jack at all. He doesn't look like a living person at all, and he doesn't remember anything and can't even speak."

"Really? Why do you think I called you here today?"

Old Sven smiled very strangely, and then Lynch felt his scalp tingling. He watched a weird body that could only be barely regarded as a human slowly walk out of the darkness opposite the cave entrance.
