Chapter 26 Play along with the plan
“Wait!”
Chang Wenxu had some understanding of this mine tunnel, so he knew very well that it was impossible to break through the sturdy mountain by installing blasting caps here.
“This place is deep underground, and it’s obviously unrealistic to blast our way out from here.”
Facing his companion’s dissuasion, a subtle smile appeared on Liu Haoyu’s lips.
However, this expression was not very obvious in the darkness, so Chang Wenxu naturally did not notice it.
“It’s okay, this voice won’t hurt me.”
Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and installed the blasting cap on the wall.
“No, no, Brother Liu, the length of the fuse of this blasting cap is not enough for us to run out of the blast range, right?”
“Don’t worry, if worse comes to worse, there’s still me, right?”
Seeing that Liu Haoyu remained stubborn, Chang Wenxu felt despair in his heart.
He didn’t know how strong Liu Haoyu was, but normally speaking, in such a nearly enclosed space, being affected by the kinetic energy of the explosion would surely be certain death!
Chang Wenxu wanted to dissuade Liu Haoyu again, but at this moment, the voice sounded again.
“There’s not much time left, I can’t help you resist for too long…”
This sentence made Chang Wenxu realize that the disappearance of the blood-colored vines behind them was likely related to this voice.
Could it really be helping them cover their retreat?
Then, using blasting caps, could it open an unexpected path here?
Chang Wenxu’s heart began to doubt himself a little at this moment.
But it was also when he was doubting that Liu Haoyu lit the fuse of the blasting cap.
He grabbed Chang Wenxu’s clothes and ran away quickly.
“Hiss…”
The fuse was like a fire snake in the darkness, constantly spitting its tongue.
The two ran far away, but Chang Wenxu quickly reminded them.
“No! This distance will still be affected!”
The sound of the ignited fuse was particularly harsh in the silent mine, carrying a deadly sense of urgency.
As time passed, the sound of the fuse burning became more and more rapid, as if counting down the last moments.
“It’s still too close!”
Chang Wenxu’s tone was full of despair. He took the initiative, grabbed Liu Haoyu, and hid behind a large rock.
As the final countdown approached, Chang Wenxu covered his ears tightly, waiting for the impending explosion.
However, at this moment, the deep and hoarse male voice that had been guiding the two turned into a sharp and piercing female voice.
She seemed to be mocking Liu Haoyu, constantly emitting sharp and piercing laughter.
“As expected… as expected…”
“You are really stupid, with just a voice, you can generate unconditional trust.”
“This is pitiable human nature.”
“But that’s good, it saves me more effort.”
In the dim cave, the Night Walker slowly emerged from the darkness.
At this moment, her form was not the little girl they had encountered in Jiding Village before, but a slender young girl.
She was wearing a worn-out but form-fitting nurse uniform. The white fabric was covered with dark brown stains, which looked like dried bloodstains.
After being tailored, the nurse uniform unreservedly accentuated her slender waist and long legs, exuding a kind of morbid beauty that made people shiver.
The Night Walker spun the scalpel in her hand.
Her gaze was fixed on the two people in front of her, as if looking at two pieces of fish on a cutting board.
“Next, I will count down for the two of you…”
A playful smile appeared on the Night Walker’s face.
“3, 2, 1…”
However, nothing happened.
What greeted her was a soul-extinguishing nail flashing with black light.
“What!?”
Liu Haoyu’s sudden move and the unexpected absence of the explosion made the Night Walker almost unbelievable.
She narrowly dodged the soul-extinguishing nail, quickly retreated, and looked at Liu Haoyu vigilantly.
To be precise, it was the soul-extinguishing nail in his hand.
Even she could not afford to offend this thing.
“Do you really think I’m a noob who knows nothing?”
Liu Haoyu sneered at the Night Walker.
“If it were my old man, he would only tell me to fight my way out, not to place explosives somewhere.”
“Then what about the explosives?!”
At this time, the Night Walker was still confused. She clearly heard the sound of the fuse being lit and saw the flame after the fuse was lit, so why didn’t the explosives explode?
“You guess?”
Liu Haoyu didn’t tell the Night Walker the reason, but Chang Wenxu behind him clearly saw…
Next to the boy’s backpack, a blasting cap with its fuse removed was hanging.
This meant that the fuse was indeed ignited, but only the fuse was ignited.
“Do you want to guess if I want to guess?”
The Night Walker thought that Liu Haoyu had been bewitched by her voice, but unexpectedly, all of this was a pretense?
It clicked its tongue in secret, but the situation was still in its favor.
“Since you two don’t want a quick death, then don’t blame me…”
The scalpel in the Night Walker’s hand flashed a deadly cold light in the darkness, and countless blood vine gu began to appear on the rock wall, as if preparing to take down Liu Haoyu right here.
“Zhenlei Talisman!”
Liu Haoyu once again threw out the Zhenlei Talisman, repelling the blood vine gu, and at the same time charged towards the Night Walker, holding the soul-extinguishing nail.
“Tsk…”
It was precisely because of his fear of the soul-extinguishing nail in Liu Haoyu’s hand that the Night Walker came up with the previous plan, but unexpectedly, it was tricked by the opponent instead.
However, fortunately, these two had already gone deep into the mine tunnel, and coupled with the fact that this was a closed dead end, it was impossible for them to escape even if they wanted to.
It’s just that perhaps the Night Walker didn’t know that Liu Haoyu had never intended to escape from the beginning.
His playing along with the plan was merely to lure the Night Walker out of the darkness.
But it was a pity that Liu Haoyu wanted to nail the Night Walker to death with the soul-extinguishing nail as soon as it appeared, but the Night Walker’s reaction was faster than he expected.
Facing the blood vine gu attacking from all directions, Liu Haoyu deeply understood that this battle had to be quick. If it dragged on, he would be the one to die.
Moreover, he had to entangle the Night Walker and not let it gain distance. The soul-extinguishing nail was not a conventional weapon. Being only the length of a dagger, if it were to be out of reach, there would be no chance of winning at all.
Therefore, realizing this, Liu Haoyu didn’t care about anything else and charged in front of the Night Walker, almost at the cost of taking damage.
“You bastard!”
This man was like a mad dog that feared nothing, biting her tightly, giving her no time to break free.
Under this exchange of damage, the Night Walker could not gain the initiative at all. Even though she cut a deep wound on Liu Haoyu’s arm with her sharp scalpel, it still did not stop his steps.
And in the next second, this soul-extinguishing nail pierced directly into its body.
