Global Collapse

Chapter 687 The Terrifying Hiatus
Fortunately, the ghosts did not ultimately choose the path where they hid.

But it chose a different path, one that was opposite to the one in question, and that path was not within the monitored area...

Lemon wasn't sour as she watched helplessly as the ghost turned a corner at the intersection and disappeared from the view of the photo.

Now they and the ghost are in an unknown area.

This is very dangerous.

"Should we go back immediately?" Hao Laoshi looked at the photo hesitantly. "I feel very unsafe if I'm not in the area shown in the photo."

“No,” Wen Qin shook her head. “The path the ghost chose is directly opposite ours. If the ghost isn’t far away when we go back, wouldn’t it be able to see us as soon as it turns around?”

The current situation is somewhat difficult.

They wanted to get back to the monitored area as quickly as possible, but they couldn't go back the way they came, for fear of being seen by the ghost.

"How about we take a detour?" Lemon Not Sour suggested. "We can go back to the intersection where the ghost just appeared. It's a bit further, but it's relatively safer."

"Is taking a detour really safe?" Hao Laoshi hesitated. "Taking a detour outside the range of the photo is very dangerous, isn't it? The ghost isn't in our surveillance range, who knows if we'll suddenly run into it."

“Going back the way we came would indeed get us back to the monitoring area faster, but there are risks involved. Of course, taking a detour also has risks…” Wen Qin frowned, unsure of what to do.

"Make a decision quickly." Hao Laoshi was a little nervous. "The ghost has been gone for almost a minute. I'm really afraid it will circle around and come back to our vicinity."

Time is indeed of the essence.

Wen Qin made a decision after drinking: "Why don't we just go back the way we came? We saw it too. The ghost is very fast. It should be far away by now."

Lemon Not Sour: After considering for two seconds, he nodded in agreement to the decision.

After making the decision, the group immediately set off back.

Before long, they returned to the intersection where the ghost had just turned the corner.

They didn't dare linger there and ran like the wind to another road.

They only dared to stop and rest when they reached the middle of the road.

Looking at the photo of the road, Hao Laoshi said, "The ghost just passed by here, so it shouldn't be coming back for a while. Let's go take a picture of the road ahead."

There's one photo left in the Polaroid camera.

After filming the road ahead, they'll have a small trump card up their sleeve.

No longer need to worry about ghosts suddenly appearing and killing them; even if a ghost comes nearby, they can react in advance based on the photos.

Lemon Not Sour walked forward with the Polaroid camera in hand: "The dungeon mission is to survive for three days, and now, less than a day has passed, and three people have already died."

"Fortunately, we found a way out in time this time. I don't know if we can survive the remaining two days with these few photos."

Even though she had a trump card, she still had some worries.

This card is easy to go wrong with; there are far too few photos. It would be better if there were more.

They really shouldn't have burned those photos on the bus...

The fact that the lemon wasn't sour gave me a bad feeling.

There's a high probability that more people will die in the remaining two days; it's uncertain how many will survive this dungeon.

The group had reached the next intersection and stopped to look ahead. "After taking this picture, our surveillance area will be large enough," Wen Qin said, looking at the road ahead. "Then we can go back to the central section of the road we're monitoring to rest."

Hao Laoshi's energy was no match for these young people. He bent over and said, "I've been running for a day and a night, and I really have no strength left. Even if a ghost suddenly came out to chase me, I wouldn't be able to take a step."

"I hope the rest period can be longer." Lemon Not Sour picked up the Polaroid camera and pressed the shutter on the road ahead.

The flash went off, and a second later the Polaroid camera's output lens began to eject photos.

The lemon, not sour, stepped back a few paces and waited quietly for the photo to develop.

At this moment, Hao Laoshi was hesitating, wanting to ask Xu Xingcheng about Gu Mian's whereabouts.

Just as he was considering how to start the conversation, the photograph in Lemon Not Sour's hand began to develop an image.

Hao Laoshi heard Wen Qintang, who was next to him, exclaim "Eh!" as if she had seen something strange.

His attention was immediately drawn to Winnie's conversation about wine.

The two people were staring intently at the photo, their expressions not very pleasant.

What's going on? Did you photograph a ghost?

But judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to have photographed a ghost.

Hao Laoshi also took a few steps over there and craned his neck to look at the photo.

The photo that was just taken was different from the previous ones. It was completely dark with no image in it, as if it was taken at night.

"What happened?" Wen Qin frowned as she looked at the photo. "Didn't it turn out well?"

"A poorly taken photo should be completely white, not completely black," Lemon-Not-Sour shook her head. "Is the photographic paper damaged?"

Whatever the reason, the photo is ruined; they can no longer see the invisible ghost on the road in front of them.

“We only filmed two roads.” Lemon Not Sour’s face was gloomy. “The distance wasn’t enough. If the ghost suddenly appeared at one end, it could see us.”

Moreover, there is an intersection between these two roads, so they cannot hide near the intersection.

The other two roads at that intersection were not captured on camera, so there was no way for anyone to hide there.

"What should we do?" Wen Qin rubbed her temples hard, feeling extremely troubled by the current situation.

"We can only choose one of these two roads that we filmed, and hide in the middle of that road... But if the ghost passes by the end closer to us, it will definitely see us..."

Just as Lemon Not Sour was thinking of a solution, Hao Laoshi, who had been looking at the photos, took several steps back and said, "Don't you guys think..."

what?
Everyone turned to look at him.

Hao Laoshi took several steps back, almost turning around and running away: "Don't you think this photo is completely black because someone blocked the camera when you were taking the picture!"

Someone... blocked the camera?
The two men, who were discussing countermeasures, felt a chill run down their spines and their hair stand on end.

After saying this chilling sentence, Hao Laoshi immediately turned and ran away.

The lemons weren't sour, and neither of them stood there in a daze.

They also took off running.

It's stopped updating! Waaaaaah! (sobbing)
