Chapter 1186 - 1185: Caught in One Fell Swoop
The terrifying screams echoed throughout the entire museum, resounding one after another. At this moment, where would they still care about alerting others?
They couldn’t wish more to alert someone!
Two mummies were slowly approaching their group, the wrappings on them gradually unraveling, long strips of cloth reaching out toward the crowd.
The group frantically stopped, and after a few fell, they scrambled, rolling and crawling to flee in the opposite direction.
However, two people couldn’t stop in time, were caught by the wrappings, and were then dragged slowly towards the two mummies while screaming miserably.
"No! Boss! Save me!"
"Ahhh, I don’t want to die, save me, someone please save me!"
Someone lagging behind couldn’t help but turn back, just in time to see those two being wrapped layer by layer with the wrappings as they were being dragged.
Everyone was filled with fear, trembling all over; no one dared to stay, wishing they had two more legs and regretting not exercising more often.
But avoiding the mummies blocking one stairway, they returned to the entrance of the exhibition hall they had just come out of.
And in that short delay...
Two wolf-headed monsters emerged with a lunge, one quickly thrusting forward, stabbing into a person’s left shoulder and right rib, lifting the person into the air.
"Ah!!!"
The person screamed loudly, the one beside him saw black smoke emanating from his body, and the entire person seemed to be dehydrating rapidly.
The next moment, a black panther sprang from the dark entrance of the exhibition hall, pounced on another person, and with a fierce bite, bit off the person’s head.
"Ahhh!!!"
The remaining few outdid themselves, skirting around the panther and swiftly scrambling to flee.
In a moment of fleeing, they suddenly looked back and saw that bizarre golden mask also floating mid-air, charging towards someone’s face.
"Help! Mom!"
That person’s face turned pale, nearly scared to death, darting away, rushing about frantically like a wolf in a cemetery, with speed rivaling that of Bolt.
Unfortunately, he was fast, but the golden mask was faster, covering his face in a flash, and his scream abruptly ended, halting him suddenly, standing motionless in place.
This scene was more terrifying, everyone’s heartbeat skipped a beat.
In the dark exhibition hall, golden lights flickering, a swarm of scarabs in the sky, a cluster of scorpions on the ground, surrounding three Anubis with torches on their heads and a glimmering king cobra about to emerge.
"Ahhh!!!"
"Run! Run!"
After losing five people, the rest finally dashed through the exhibition hall before the other monsters appeared, heading toward the stairway on the other side.
However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, two mummies suddenly appeared at the entrance of an adjacent exhibition hall, their wrappings unfurling and catching two more.
"Ahhh!!!"
Screams endlessly filled the air, another person stumbled in fear and fell, and the scarabs from behind rushed up, drilling into his nose, ears, and mouth.
"Help! Help!"
"Run! Run!"
The others were nearly terrified out of their minds, rolling and crawling towards the stairway on the other side.
Then, each one seemed to forget how to descend the stairs, except for a few with relatively sound legs, while others fell down almost like rolling.
"Thud! Thud!"
"Ouch! Ouch!"
"John! Ali! Are you there! Hurry and get out! Get out!"
The person in the lead was fine, calling for the two who had left earlier, and also calling outside the museum.
"George! Hurry up and meet us! Bring weapons! I repeat, bring weapons!"
However, all he got from the headset were buzzing noises; he couldn’t reach anyone outside.
"Damn it! F**k!"
"I can’t reach outside, I already tried." Another person urgently shouted, "Let’s get out quickly!"
As these words fell, he suddenly sensed the moonlight before him darken, instinctively looked up, and saw a giant Sphinx sculpture not far from him, quietly watching him.
In the next instant, the eyes turned towards him suddenly shot out two beams of red light.
"No!!!"
As that person fainted, the others were horrified to discover that all the massive stone sculptures, several meters tall, in the lobby started to move their limbs, standing up one after another.
And the gazes directed at them were filled with ferocity and malice.
"No!!!"
...
The personnel outside the museum also realized they couldn’t contact those inside.
"What’s going on, our communication is jammed too?"
"I don’t know?"
"Could there be an official jamming device inside the museum?"
"Shouldn’t be, there was no sign of it during the day, was there?"
"Let the first group out remind them once they’re out."
"Don’t worry, I guess the boss already knows, let’s be ready to receive them."
"Hey? Murphy, did you hear any noise coming from the museum?"
"No, why?"
"I think I heard screams."
"Is it some husband’s domestic violence?"
"No, no, it seems to be coming from inside the museum."
"Impossible, didn’t they take care of those security guards?"
Just after those words, a piercing alarm sounded inside the museum.
"Damn it! What’s going on?"
"Which idiot actually triggered the alarm system?"
"The nearest police station is already in action!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Stage a car accident, delay the police action and speed!"
"George! Martin! Luther! Follow me in, meet them, take as much as we can!"
Several truck drivers quickly got out, rushing into the museum through the open back doors.
Then...
"Ahhh!!!"
...
When a group of police finally spent an hour bypassing obstacles to arrive at the museum entrance, they saw several empty cars and trucks parked at the back door of the museum.
Under the watchful eyes of those outside, the police stormed into the museum, and soon called over a dozen ambulances, bringing out people either unconscious, foaming at the mouth, twitching all over, babbling incoherently, dazed silent, or wildly struggling and screaming.
Those monitoring from outside were about to lose their minds.
"What’s going on?"
"What the hell?"
"What happened to them?"
The mercenaries, ready to cover them and prepare for a standoff with the Cairo police, were also perplexed.
"It’s like they got taken out in one fell swoop."
"Seems like everyone who entered the museum got caught by the police."
"What are they doing?"
"No idea... Bunch of dumb thieves!"
