However, in a short period of time, the village was in a state of panic, and the villagers kept shouting and screaming.
When they woke up, they found that the surrounding environment had changed horribly, and there was something like dust floating in the air.
The air was filled with a strange smell, and tiny black dots floated from various objects. When you looked up, you couldn't see the sky or stars at all.
Because the power supply was cut off, the lamps in each household could not be lit, so the village was dark.
I took out a lighting tool similar to a flashlight, but found that the electronic products could not be used at all, as if there had been a collective malfunction.
Someone took out the candle oil lamp and lit it successfully, only to find that the firelight showed a blue-green color.
The faint green light illuminates the surrounding scenery, but gives people a creepy feeling.
Listening to the barking of the livestock, the villagers became increasingly uneasy and did not know what to do.
The first time the abnormality occurred, someone had already taken out a communication tool and tried to communicate with the outside world.
But communication tools like telephones cannot be used normally, and it is impossible to transmit abnormal information.
Knowing that the communication channel was cut off, the villagers became more and more uneasy and subconsciously gathered together to discuss a solution.
The whole village, old and young, totaling more than 300 villagers, decided to form a team to explore outside.
At the same time, a large fire was lit in the center of the village, and all the young and old in the village gathered here.
The young men in the village quickly gathered together, holding torches and various tools as weapons.
There were also several elderly villagers who dug out sabers, red-tasseled guns, and even rusty gunpowder guns from their homes.
The villagers divided into two groups and headed in different directions. They circled around and then gathered at the entrance of the village.
The first group of twenty villagers walked along the road at the entrance of the village while constantly looking at the surrounding environment.
They found that more and more dust was floating in the fields, many of which condensed into the shape of feathers.
Countless feather-like dust floating at different heights makes people feel very permeable.
The brightness of the green torch is limited and can only illuminate a small area. The crops and fields on both sides of the road cannot be seen clearly.
Due to the unknown situation, the villagers did not dare to explore randomly and could only keep moving forward along the road.
No one noticed that as they continued to move forward, the feathery dust on the roadside gradually followed.
Some feathery black dust touches each other from time to time, and the volume becomes larger and larger.
In some large areas of dust, humanoid outlines gradually appeared, which were very similar to those of the villagers.
They float in the air, following in the darkness, and the whole process is silent.
Such a strange scene happened right next to him, and a group of villagers didn't notice it at all.
After walking for a while, the villagers finally discovered something was wrong. When they reached a point, they could no longer move forward.
No matter what method you use, when you reach that location, you will instantly lose any strength.
I used sticks and stones to hit it, and when I reached that spot, it landed lightly on the ground.
The kinetic energy carried by the item disappears in an instant.
The villagers became more and more frightened, but they could only bravely test it and soon collected some information.
The invisible barrier that makes people lose strength instantly is not fixed, but continues to move forward.
In about one minute, it will move forward one meter, and the same goes for the left and right sides.
Their village seemed to be trapped in an invisible cauldron, unable to leave to the outside world.
The invisible cauldron continues to expand, and as time goes by, the area will become larger and larger.
At this rate of development, the nearby towns and counties will sooner or later be accommodated.
Not long after, another villager accidentally discovered that a group of sparrows flew in from the sky.
It turns out that this invisible barrier can be entered but not exited.
After the birds flew in, they instantly fell into a state of panic, flying around while chirping.
This sight made the villagers suspect that the invisible barrier might not be visible outside, otherwise the group of birds would not fly in.
The more the villagers thought about it, the more frightened they became. The black spots that kept coming out of their bodies gave them a feeling of decay and weakness.
In the surrounding darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes peeking quietly. Some timid villagers suggested returning to the village and quietly waiting for rescue from the government.
It is not like now, if you do not know the depth of exploration, you may encounter fatal danger.
There are also villagers who believe that further investigation should be carried out to find out what happened.
If there is danger, prevention can be carried out in advance instead of waiting for rescue in the village
After some debate, the minority obeyed the majority and the villagers decided to continue the investigation.
The edge of the invisible barrier is now located in the crop fields, and there is no existing road at all.
If you want to understand the scope of the barrier and obtain more intelligence clues, you can only choose to pass through the crop field.
The villagers lined up in long lines, passing through crops of different heights, and from time to time they would be stained with dew.
A villager walking behind suddenly heard someone calling him, the voice was vague, and it seemed that he was not far away.
After calling three times in a row, the villager finally replied impatiently and asked what happened.
But he didn't notice that at the moment he replied, a human-shaped object made of dust suddenly fell from the sky.
The strange thing clung quietly to his back, slowly absorbing the breath exhaled by the villagers.
The villagers walking in front looked back after hearing this question.
Some people found it baffling, and the village chief felt something was wrong, so he asked.
"Zhang Laogen, what did you shout just now?"
The villager walking at the end of the team showed a puzzled expression when faced with everyone's inquiries.
“You didn’t know who it was just now, and you kept calling my name, so I called him back and asked him what happened?”
The villagers looked solemn and asked who it was just now. Whoever was calling people, everyone shook their heads and said it was not them.
The villager named Zhang Laogen felt his heart tremble when he saw this, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"If you are not calling me, then who is calling me?"
At this time, a villager suddenly opened his eyes and pointed at Zhang Laogen with a look of horror on his face.
It turned out that at this moment, he saw the back of Zhang Laogen's head, slowly revealing a blurry face.
Other villagers also saw the strange face behind Zhang Laogen’s head at this moment, and they all showed frightened and alert expressions.
"Zhang Laogen, don't move, turn around slowly."
While the village chief spoke, he clenched the gun in his hand, ready to take action at any time.
Other villagers held weapons such as shovels and sickles in their hands, and their expressions were equally nervous.
Under the watchful eyes of a group of villagers, Zhang Laogen was crying, his whole body was trembling and he was twisting his body.
Everyone could clearly see that there was a black human-shaped object sticking tightly to Zhang Laogen's back, which could be described as a tight fit.
"Tell me quickly, what's on my body?"
Zhang Laogen asked about his physical condition with a hint of crying in his tone.
He couldn't see his back, but he could feel the abnormal emotions of everyone, which meant that something was really wrong with him.
"Don't move, you're a bear!"
The village chief cursed, then looked at a villager with his eyes and motioned for him to test with the long stick in his hand.
When the villager saw this, he showed a trace of hesitation, but he still gritted his teeth and stepped forward with a stick.
Seeing this, other villagers clenched their weapons in response to possible abnormalities.
When the stick was about to touch the black object, everyone suddenly heard a burst of weird laughter, and then a black shadow rose into the sky.
Zhang Laogen's body twitched, he let out a shrill scream, and then he fell to the ground.
More weird laughter came from the surrounding darkness, and the fluttering sounds were far and near, making people feel creepy.
The villagers were shocked, looking around with vigilant faces, and at the same time checking on the fainting villager.
I found that the other party could not be awakened, so I had to go back to the village and discuss the next step of action.
