Fatty Peng also noticed the row of footprints, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to walk any further. He hugged his fat self, huddled up, and squatted on the ground.

At this time, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the tomb next to him.

Isn't it? Is anyone really going to crawl out of the grave?

Fatty Peng was so frightened that he covered his eyes with his hands in fear, leaving only a crack exposed, and slowly looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a black figure moving in the grave next to him.

When Fatty Peng saw it, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe out or move his whole body.

With a trembling voice, he wanted to ask Zhou Bai for help.

"Bai...Brother Bai, here...there is something here..."

As soon as his voice came out, the black figure stepped back violently.

Then, Fatty Peng saw clearly that it was a very large rat, chewing on a bone with carrion, and quickly escaped from the grave next to him.

It turns out that someone is not going to crawl out of the grave...

Fatty Peng took a breath.

He patted his chest with his chubby hands and quickly turned his head to look for Zhou Bai.

On the other side, Zhou Bai had already walked along the last row of graves and slowly walked to the collapsed hills.

He stopped alone next to the tombs and looked towards the collapsed location.

I saw the sand and soil next to it coming out from the inside, leaving only an empty shell.

Looking from his position, he felt that it was pitch black, like a black hole.

There seems to be some magic that attracts the people next to you to come closer.

Zhou Bai stared at that position for a while.

The more I watched, the more uneasy I felt.

Just as he was thinking about whether to go or stay, he suddenly heard a crisp ringing in his pocket.

"Ding-a-ling-ring, jingle-a-ling-ling, jingle-a-ling-a-ling..."

This is...a cell phone ringtone?

The mobile phone that had been working since entering City A suddenly rang at this time in this place.

It's really hard not to think of some "spooky calls."

Fatty Peng and the white bird on the dead branch heard the soul-stirring ringing and hugged themselves tightly again in fear.

Zhou Bai hesitantly put his hand into his pocket.

He took out the cell phone that kept ringing.

Strictly speaking, this is not a mobile phone, but a machine that looks a bit like a mobile phone.

The man with the badges on his chest, the machine given to him in the office of the duty team.

Zhou Bai lowered his head and glanced at the empty tomb.

I always feel that it is not a coincidence that this machine is ringing at this time and in this place.

He hesitated and stared at the machine in his hand, letting the bell ring in the empty cemetery.

It wasn't until the ringing was about to end that I suddenly swiped the screen and pressed the answer button.

"Hey." Zhou Bai said to the other end of the machine.

I heard a gasp coming from the machine, but there was no response for a long time.

"Hey, is anyone listening?"

Zhou Bai asked again.

But the other party still didn't answer.

Isn't it really a "sneak call"?

Zhou Bai murmured in his heart.

Just when he couldn't wait for a response and was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the other end of the machine.

"ah!!!

ah!!!

It was connected, it was connected, I didn’t expect it was actually connected!”

When Zhou Bai's eardrums hurt, he quickly moved the machine further away.

After the other party finished shouting excitedly, he took the machine back to his ear with lingering fear.

"Can we communicate normally now?"

On the other end of the phone was a young female voice.

She finally calmed down, and when she heard what Zhou Bai said, she coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Yes... I'm sorry.

Because I have to call this number many times every day.

I'm so excited to finally get through."

Zhou Bai understood her working status very well, but he looked down at the time on his pocket watch and still had to urge her.

"I understand your mood very well.

But I’m a bit pressed for time, could you please talk about the key points first?”

After hearing this, the other party quickly took a deep breath, then changed into a very professional tone and spoke seriously.

"If I made the right call, you should be Zhou Bai, a member of the duty team in Block 5, City C, right?"

"right."

Zhou Bai looked at the time on his pocket watch and made his answer as brief as possible.

"I am the operator responsible for keeping in touch with you.

You can call me Xiaomei.

I wonder if you encountered anything in City A that needs to be reported to us?"

When Zhou Bai heard the other party's vague question, he couldn't help but fiddle with the pocket watch in his hand with some anxiety.

"We have now found a clue. Following the clue, we should have a chance to find the source of the distress signal.

but……"

Zhou Bai thought of those injured figures in the processing factory.

When the words came to his mouth, he paused again.

Xiaomei on the other end of the phone may not be completely trustable.

You have to choose what you want them to know.

"If you have any questions, you can just ask us. If we can cooperate, we will try our best to cooperate."

Zhou Bai also paused when he heard Xiaomei's solemn promise on the other end of the phone.

You are outside the city, we are inside the city.

So what help can you provide?

Zhou Bai did not respond in a hurry, but took the machine in his hand and took a few steps forward.

I plan to seize the time and talk while walking.

Just as he took a few steps forward with the machine in his hand, he suddenly heard a "rustling" sound coming from the machine next to his ear.

"Hey... Zhou... Bai...

Do you...still...listen...to...see..."

Xiaomei's voice on the other end of the phone became intermittent and unclear.

Zhou Bai quickly stopped and took a few steps back.

Then, the sound in the machine returned to normal.

"Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai, can you hear me?"

Xiaomei shouted nervously on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Bai could only hold the machine again, away from his ears.

"can hear."

On the other end of the phone, Xiaomei let out a long sigh of relief: "Great. By the way, where did we just talk about?"

Zhou Bai helplessly replied: "I just mentioned that you can help."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I just said. Then you can continue."

Zhou Bai thought for a while and tried to say: "We are in danger in City A, can you save us?"

Xiaomei paused for a moment: "Well... there may be no way."

"Then we didn't bring enough food. Can you deliver food to us?"

Xiaomei was a little embarrassed again: "Well...it doesn't seem possible."

"Then you still ask me to make my own demands?"

Zhou Bai felt that the other party was so baffled that he even wanted to hang up the phone on the spot.
