Chapter 888 Could it be a ghost?
"Everyone be careful, the enemy is stronger than we expected."
Flying in mid-air, Qin Zhong shouted loudly to the thousands of soldiers below: "Change from battle formation to defensive formation, follow me into the mining area."
After saying that, he folded his wings and quickly returned to the team.
Facing this unknown enemy, he had to stay with his soldiers at all times to prevent any accidents.
"What a huge claw!"
Feeling the depth of the scratches on the gate, Wang Yue said solemnly, "The claw marks are at least thirty centimeters deep. Judging from the arc of the scratches, it seems that the thing that left the scratches didn't attack the gate, but used it to sharpen its claws."
"Just sharpening the claws can create such deep marks. Damn, what on earth did Zhou Luosen and the others encounter?"
After hearing Wang Yue's words, Qin Zhong walked to the front of the team, and then led everyone to search every room in the mining area one by one.
However, what surprised everyone was that there was not a single living person in the many rooms in the mining area. The only things they saw were corpses everywhere.
"Report, the body count has been completed. According to incomplete statistics, there are approximately 114 bodies in the entire mining area. The cause of death was all due to lacerations caused by sharp weapons. Not a single body was found intact."
After Qin Zhong and others finished checking the last room, the soldier who was responsible for counting the number of corpses reported the number.
Upon hearing this number, a look of grief and anger appeared on everyone's face. Hundreds of colleagues were torn to pieces here alive, with no complete body left.
"Why are there only 114 bodies? Where are Zhou Luosen and the rest?"
After hearing the soldier's report, Qin Zhong frowned slightly. Zhou Luosen and the number of people responsible for mining here were far more than these. So, where did the others go?
Is he alive, or is he already... dead?
"Pong!"
At this moment, a crisp sound of a hard object hitting something suddenly rang out from the mining area. This sudden sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"In the mining area!"
Just as everyone was trying to identify the source of the sound, Qin Zhong, with his advantage as a level five evolver, quickly determined the direction of the sound's source.
The location where the sound came from was a mining area deep underground.
Qin Zhong took a deep breath, thought for a moment, then turned to Xiao Yingyong and Lan Ziqing and said, "Wang Yue, Xiaoying, Li Hailan, select another 500 people and follow me into the mining area to investigate. Xiaoyan, Xueyue, Lan Zishan, you take the others to guard here and build defensive fortifications. Don't move until I return!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's order, the entire team immediately selected 500 people to follow Qin Zhong, and the rest of the people were led by Sun Xiaoyan, Xue Yue and others to build defensive fortifications on the spot.
Qin Zhong took Wang Yue, Xiao Yingyong, Li Hailan and the five hundred people, and entered the underground mining area in batches by ladder shaft cars.
Regardless of whether the sound just made was made by an enemy or a friend, Qin Zhong vowed to find them!
As soon as they entered the mining area, Qin Zhong and others felt a strong foul air coming towards them. However, they had already known that this was the situation underground, so when they came down, they deliberately brought breathing isolation masks.
"Everyone put on respiratory isolation masks."
After putting on a simple respirator, Qin Zhong turned around and gave an order to the soldiers who were coming down one after another, then left the elevator shaft and walked slowly forward.
Like the mines commonly seen on TV, the mine where Qin Chong and others are located is also very damp and dark.
On the rows of wooden and iron frames that support the mine structure, tiny orange-yellow enclosed lights are flashing faintly.
This faint orange light is only enough for people to roughly see the outline of the road ahead. It is very difficult to see more clearly.
"Why is it so dark?" After putting on the respirator, it was like a bowl covering his face, making Wang Yue's voice a little distorted.
"There are often flammable gases erupting in the mining area, so these lamps are all sealed to prevent the lights from igniting these flammable gases. However, precisely because of the sealing, the lights in the mine are not very bright."
Hearing Wang Yue's words, Qin Zhong frowned and instructed the soldiers behind him: "Without my order, no one is allowed to fire without authorization to avoid detonating flammable gases. Also, everyone, turn on the night mode of your tactical detection glasses and pay attention to the surrounding movements at all times."
After saying that, Qin Zhong pressed a button on the tactical detection glasses and adjusted the visual mode to night mode. After adjusting to night mode, the vision in front of Qin Zhong suddenly changed from dark black to bright green.
Although in this case, he can see the situation inside the mine clearly even without wearing these glasses, the temperature detection function of the night mode can enable him to better detect teammates or enemies hiding in the dark.
"Bang!" At this moment, the sound of hard objects colliding with each other was heard again from the mine.
Hearing this sound, Qin Zhong's face darkened and he softly ordered, "Everyone follow me. The sound shouldn't be far from us. Let's go see what's going on."
After saying that, Qin Zhong led everyone and slowly walked forward.
But when he walked about dozens of meters and turned a corner, he was suddenly enveloped by a sense of crisis that made his hair stand on end, as if there was a horrible monster in front of him, hiding in the darkness, staring at him motionlessly.
"Stop! Something's happening, everyone pay attention!"
Feeling this sense of crisis, Qin Zhong immediately stopped the team following behind him, then took a deep breath and observed carefully.
But to his surprise, the temperature scanning function of the tactical detection glasses did not detect any living creatures in front.
Although the tactical detection glasses did not detect anything unusual, the sense of crisis that made Qin Zhong's hair stand on end surrounded him so vividly.
What on earth is it that has no body temperature and yet can pose a threat to him?
Qin Zhong was thinking, looking at the silent darkness ahead, and suddenly he shuddered. Could it be a ghost?
Thinking of this, Qin Zhong's heart suddenly started pounding. Even when he faced the Minotaur before, he was not as nervous as he was now.
Because for Qin Zhong, no matter how strong the enemy is, there is always a possibility of killing him, but what if he encounters a ghost?
He couldn't possibly kill a guy who was already dead again, right?
What happens after a ghost dies? Is it grass?
After gathering his random thoughts, Qin Zhong took a deep breath and said to the people behind him, "There is an enemy ahead, but I can't find it. Everyone, keep moving forward, but be careful, the enemy may be near us."
"Yes!"
Hearing Qin Zhong's words, the soldiers couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Everyone had witnessed Qin Zhong's strength. How terrifying would an enemy be if even he couldn't find it?
