Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1697: The Terrible Darkness

At this moment, Gu Fan and Li Shi had only one thought in their minds, and that was that they absolutely could not be caught; otherwise, it would be dangerous.

Sometimes, people are like that; knowing they can’t escape, they still want to run.

Gu Fan and Li Shi dashed into the tunnel. As soon as they entered, they felt the pitch-dark environment, so they turned on their flashlights while running forward.

At the moment the flashlight lit up, they saw huge rocks blocking the path ahead. If they hadn’t noticed in time, they might have crashed right into them.

Their path was blocked, and pursuers were at their rear. Gu Fan and Li Shi were panicked, feeling they were almost at a dead end.

A car drove up, and seeing the massive rocks blocking the tunnel, it immediately braked to a stop.

"What’s going on?" Old Seven got out of the car, looking at the scene in shock; everything had been fine just a moment ago.

Gu Fan and Li Shi sidled to the side, hiding in the darkness, hoping to slip away while Old Seven’s attention was on the massive rocks.

But Old Seven quickly noticed them, immediately pointing a gun at them, cursing, "Stand still, where do you think you can run to?"

Gu Fan quickly explained, "Big brother, you misunderstood, I’m not trying to run; I’m just passing by."

"Passing by, my foot!" Old Seven slapped Gu Fan hard in the face with a loud smack, the force of which knocked Gu Fan to the ground.

Li Shi was frightened, she immediately went over to support Gu Fan, timidly hiding behind him.

Seeing that Li Shi was quite pretty, Old Seven revealed a very interested expression, clearly harboring ill intentions.

Gu Fan saw Old Seven approaching them step by step and noticed that his gaze remained on Li Shi, which terrified Gu Fan. He slowly retreated while shielding Li Shi with his body.

"Kid, get out of the way!" Old Seven’s ferocious look was terrifying.

Gu Fan gritted his teeth, trying to control his trembling body, and stood his ground, feeling the even deeper fear of Li Shi behind him.

Old Seven, looking impatient, pressed the gun against Gu Fan’s forehead: "Kid, who do you think you are? I’ll say it one more time, get out of the way."

In this situation, even though Gu Fan knew holding on couldn’t change anything, he also knew he couldn’t protect Li Shi. He was scared too, he didn’t want to die, but he still mustered up the courage not to budge an inch.

"Oh, trying to be a hero, huh? Kid, let me tell you, being a hero requires skills; otherwise, the consequences..." Old Seven was halfway through his sentence when he saw Gu Fan’s terrified expression.

Thinking Gu Fan was simply frightened, Old Seven paid no mind and continued to threaten Gu Fan to step aside.

However, what Gu Fan saw was something briskly passing by in the darkness, in a crouched, quadrupedal stance, not like a human?

Old Seven had his back turned, and Li Shi, hiding behind Gu Fan, didn’t see the eerie thing in the darkness.

Just as Old Seven was about to make a move, a sudden swoosh rang out, startling him.

Old Seven turned around, finding nothing behind him, but the sound just now was certainly unusual.

Gu Fan warned, "It seems like there’s something here?"

Old Seven immediately shouted, "You punk, trying to trick me, isn’t this your companion trying to create a diversion?"

"No, I—" Before Gu Fan could finish, another swoosh rang out, making all three of them jump.

All three could tell it was the noise of something moving at high speed, but the question was who or what could be causing it or whether it wasn’t a person at all?

In the pitch-black tunnel, only the limited range of the car lights illuminated the surroundings. For safety’s sake, Old Seven kept some distance from Gu Fan while remaining vigilant.

Gradually, a beast-like growl emerged, a sound no normal person could make, making Old Seven hastily aim his gun into the darkness, shouting: "You punk, it’s your companion playing tricks to scare me, right? Get them out here, or I’ll shoot you."

Gu Fan didn’t respond, and the bloody image of the woman from before flashed in his mind, fear brewing within him, causing his body to tremble.

"Get out here!" Old Seven, equally terrified, fired several shots into the darkness, trying to disperse the sinister atmosphere.

Gu Fan suggested, "We should get in the car and leave this place."

"Shut up, it’s not your place to speak here, who do you think you are?" Old Seven roared, trying to conceal his inner fear, yet he was already moving towards the car.

Gu Fan pulled Li Shi towards the car door, thinking that if there really was some kind of beast, they wouldn’t be able to get inside the car.

All three of them entered the car one after another, thinking they were safe now. To them, the most dangerous beasts were tigers and lions, which couldn’t destroy the vehicle.

Just as Old Seven was about to start the vehicle to leave, suddenly something from the darkness rushed out, shattering the car’s headlights with a crash, causing the vehicle to shake violently.

Instantly, the surroundings plunged into impenetrable darkness, and the breathing of the three in the car ceased, too afraid to even exhale heavily. What was that just now, something darted past in a flash, not at all like a human?

Old Seven, savage by nature, was now trembling as he held the gun, let alone Gu Fan and Li Shi, who were just high school students.

No matter now, Old Seven prepared to forcefully start the vehicle, even though he couldn’t see the road condition in the dark, he didn’t want to stay here.

Because it was so dark, Gu Fan and Li Shi couldn’t see each other or Old Seven.

Suddenly, a violent impact followed by the sound of the car’s glass shattering, the mysterious thing in the darkness launched an attack.

In the pitch darkness came the sound of a beast tearing and biting, while Old Seven on the driver’s seat shouted, firing randomly, struggling fiercely, causing the car to sway violently, scaring Gu Fan and Li Shi into squatting down immediately.

Gradually, Old Seven’s voice came from outside the car as if dragged out by that thing; the darkness was filled with Old Seven’s desperate screams.

Gu Fan knew they couldn’t hide in the car; otherwise, they’d end up like Old Seven sooner or later. He opened the car door on the other side, hastily pulling Li Shi as they ran.

Old Seven’s screams had stopped, which meant only one thing Gu Fan understood very well, that the thing in the dark might come after them soon.

Gu Fan ran desperately, not daring to look back, and then he heard another crash from the direction of the car, probably that thing checking if there were any other people left after dealing with Old Seven.

Time was precious, and although Gu Fan’s thoughts were chaotic, and his heart was filled with fear, his steps didn’t stop.

Li Shi, overwhelmed with panic, had lost all sense of judgment and could only follow Gu Fan, having also heard the sound of rummaging from the car area, wondering what kind of thing could toss a car around like that, she was really scared.
