What's Hidden 2

The man, vigilant, signaled the rest of the people around him to remain alert, then approached the dead man on the ground with a flashlight in his hand.

First, he tested the breath of the large man and discovered that he was dead. He turned the head to expose the neck, revealing a red line where blood was still dripping.

Along with several similar scratch-like wounds on the body of the large man, a wooden stake had been embedded in the middle of his chest. The man immediately thought that he must have been attacked by wild wolves since they could faintly hear animal howls in the distance.

Although he is a professional soldier, he has only been trained in barracks for a few months, and his field knowledge is limited to some common wild plants. Therefore, the development of this situation is beyond his experience.

The man didn't inspect the body carefully. In his opinion, this was done by some animals. They have been living here for a while, and this task is about to be completed, so there is no need to cause additional trouble with this matter.

After all, no one knows if there is a group of hungry wolves watching them in the dark forest right now, so it is not safe to stay here.

With that in mind, the man simply stood up and signaled a few people before entering the house. They assumed that this man was killed by a wild wolf. Therefore, wouldn't it be more dangerous to stay outside?

According to the plan, Airon tried to simulate that the dead man had been attacked by wild animals and accidentally impaled himself with the wooden stake after a struggle.

All he wanted to do was confuse the people in the cabin for a while, hoping that the other party wouldn't have anyone who was very knowledgeable about wild animals.

What he needed was for those people to gather and find out the details.

After the man stood up, the other three people had already carefully looked around with flashlights, and the three individuals who had nothing to gain and much to lose naturally moved to the man's side.

"Let's go in quickly."

"Are we just going to leave him lying there?"

"No, prevent him from turning into a walker and get him out of here."

The man who seemed to be the leader hurriedly made arrangements and planned to return to the cabin immediately.

But at that moment, there was a sound of something hitting the ground, followed by an expression heard beneath their feet.

The three people around the man barely reacted and all fell to the ground. These people didn't understand what had happened until they died, and each of them had a slightly vigilant expression. The dark forest not far away also became their last memory before dying.

But the leader reacted very quickly. He wanted to raise his weapon to defend himself as soon as everyone fell to the ground, but he felt a sharp pain in his hand that prevented him from holding his weapon, and then that expression left him stunned on the ground.

By pure coincidence, the light from the flashlights on their legs pointed at the faces of all those people on the ground.

"Help!"

Crack!

But at that moment, an arrow pierced through his companion's head. The arrow had deeply penetrated his skull, and the man who was in agony died shortly after.

But that didn't matter to him. He had no desire to cry or be afraid. Right now, his mentality was ready to survive. He used his coat to apply pressure to the other wounded and heavily bleeding person, then moved his legs to get out of this place.

He staggered and ran toward the door of the wooden house. Although he was severely injured, his mind was still calm. The current situation is very clear. His attackers don't want to kill him immediately; they need him alive.

As for the reason, it should have something to do with the people he saved today, but time was running out, and escape wasn't an option.

Thoughts raced through the man's mind, but his movements were not slow. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the corner of the main door of the wooden house.

Just two more steps, and he would be inside!

He only needed to run the last three meters, and the other party would lose sight of him. Then he would contact his base, and reinforcements would arrive immediately.

The man who imagined these things did not move slowly. At this moment, there were only two meters left to reach the door.

His weak legs were filled with the power of adrenaline.

"Damn it!"

The man let out a loud roar, injected the remaining strength into his leg muscles, and took another step.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The man suddenly heard a burst of footsteps from behind, and he didn't need to look back to know that it was one of the attackers approaching running.

However, he was less than ten meters away from the door, no matter how fast the enemy was, it was impossible for them to catch up to him.

Not to mention that there was a circle of walker-repellent stakes around the perimeter, which would take them enough time for him to escape.

However, reality seemed to be different from his imagination. The sound of footsteps on the ground behind him continued, and the man secretly paid attention to the sound behind him.

Thud!

There was a muffled sound, and the man couldn't help but look back, then he saw a scene that scared him. A man who had no weapons in his hands made a huge leap that exceeded the height of the stakes, as if his weight wasn't present.

Shit!

What kind of monster is that?

The man's soul had left his body, so he didn't even think about turning around.

However, the injury had an impact after all. Along with the panic in his heart, the rhythm under his feet became extremely nervous.

The one who caught up to him was Airon. After leaping over the wooden stakes, with the forward momentum, his speed was unusually fast.

With another leap, he instantly caught up to the figure struggling towards the cabin.

"Don't move!"

With a weapon at the back of his neck, the man who had stopped slowly turned to look his attackers in the eyes.

Daryl and Victor arrived a few seconds after Airon had stopped the man, and then two more people emerged from the darkness and looked around.

The first thing they saw when they looked around with a flashlight was a man who had been captured, and then they heard two gunshots the next moment. There was a loud noise, and the two fell to the ground again.

Airon dragged the man against the wall, then looked at him coldly and asked, "How many people are inside?"

"Damn it!"

"Don't fool yourself, we are taking the initiative to be kind, you better answer my question obediently, otherwise, you will definitely regret it."

"You think I don't know why you're here? From your appearance, I can tell that you're after those people we rescued. As for the others, those lunatics took them to a warehouse, but even if you kill us, you won't see those people who were taken by those monsters again."

"What are you talking about?" Airon asked in a cold voice.

"Hahaha, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into..."
