Chapter 3 Journey
"Okay, everyone should be here now." The strong man naturally became the leader of the team, "The next mission is about to begin, everyone is ready."
As if in response to the strong man's words, there was gradually light in the distance.
As the light gets closer, two beams of light pierce the darkness.
A brand new luxury bus slowly stopped at the platform.
"Talk less, observe more, make sure you are safe before doing anything, and try not to act alone," the strong man took advantage of the moment before the bus door opened to give him a few more instructions.
As soon as he finished speaking, the car door opened.
A young man jumped down from above.
He has short hair, a blue sweatshirt on his upper body, and a pair of white-washed jeans on his lower body. He has a delicate appearance, probably in his early 20s.
The mouth moves as if chewing gum.
"I've been waiting for a long time. Dear passengers, I'm sorry for the delay due to the weather." The young man opened his mouth and gave everyone a surprise. It turned out to be a woman.
The woman introduced herself: "I am honored to be your tour guide for this trip. My surname is Zheng. You can call me Xiao Zheng or Director Zheng."
"Director Zheng, " someone responded.
Everyone had a tacit understanding not to call Xiao Zheng.
"Okay, everyone, hurry up and get in the car," Director Zheng greeted politely, "The weather is bad and the road is difficult to walk, so let's hurry up."
Everyone got on the bus in order from left to right, first the strong man, then the woman with the mole on her lip, the male clerk, the bald middle-aged man, Jiang Cheng, the flexible fat man, and the girl got on last.
After getting on the bus, I found that there were other passengers on the bus.
A couple is sitting at the back on the left. The girl is reading a magazine, and her boyfriend is wearing eye masks and headphones and resting against the glass window.
There was also a middle-aged woman sitting in the first row of seats behind the driver with a big boy.
It should be mother and son, but the boy may be sick, his mood is low, and his eyes are erratic. When Jiang Cheng passed by, he noticed that his hands and fingers were wrapped with bandages.
After getting on the bus, Director Zheng asked everyone to find a seat and then as soon as the door closed, she sat on the right side of the driver.
The strong man sat behind the mother and son, and the woman with the mole on her lip sat behind Director Zheng.
The seat Jiang Cheng chose was the second row of seats behind the couple. As soon as he sat down, a huge body came over and said, "Brother, let's sit together!"
Jiang Cheng raised his head, and as expected, it was the flexible fat man. He said, "Okay, but I'm not used to sitting in there."
"It's okay, I can squeeze in."
Half a minute later, the fat man squeezed in as he wished, but the remaining parts still occupied some positions in Jiangcheng, forcing him to move out.
The male clerk tried to share a seat with others several times, but was always given a cold shoulder. In the end, the girl let him sit next to him.
The middle-aged man was sitting alone in the last row. Jiang Cheng looked back at him and found that his face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.
"Brother, tell me what's going on?" The fat man came over and asked in a low voice, "I came here when I was asleep."
Jiang Cheng put The news he got from the brawny man was so exaggerated that he told the fat man once, which made the latter almost cry, "If you die here, your whole family will stand upside down and bleed to death?"
"That's it."
"Then I see why you are not too scared?"
Jiang Cheng turned his head and said in a very formal tone: "Because I am an orphan."
The journey was peaceful, so peaceful that the male clerk thought it might continue to be peaceful, but the sudden sound of brakes crushed all his dreams.
“Bang!”
The huge inertia swept through the entire car like a storm with broken glass.
The car hit something.
The male clerk huddled in the aisle between the two rows of seats, blocking the way for everyone to get off the car. His mouth was open, as if he was about to scream. In the end, the strong man dragged him out of the carriage and slapped him twice.
"Shut your mouth if you don't want to die!" He threatened viciously.
The male clerk huddled on the ground in disgrace. After a long while, he got up and hid at the end of the team.
really.
The car hit a tree.
The driver came down to check and found that the heavy rain had caused one side of the road to collapse, changing the normal trajectory of the vehicle, causing it to lose balance and hit a tree on the side of the road.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, most of them were scratched by broken glass.
But the car can’t drive away, here
Jiang Cheng looked around, and it could be said that there was no village in front of him, no store in back, and only one straight road leading to an unknown direction.
Although the rain has become lighter, it is still falling.
"Passenger, I'm so sorry," Director Zheng walked over rubbing his hands, "It seems that today's trip has been ruined."
It was only a few hours after the first meeting, and she had already apologized twice. times, but everyone knew that she was not sincere every time.
According to Zhuang Man, she is just an NPC that advances the plot.
"How about this? I know there is a villa in the woods over there. You can go there to take shelter from the rain. I will take a few people to find the car. When I find the car, I will come back to pick you up." Director Zheng pointed to the villa not far away. Lin Zi said.
Even a newcomer like Jiang Cheng felt that this was not a good choice, but the strong man and others agreed, then turned around and walked towards the forest.
The real mission is here!
The originally relaxed atmosphere also changed.
Walking on the muddy road, if you are not careful, you may fall. After walking for about half an hour, a three-story villa finally appeared in front of them.
The villa is covered by layers of dense forest and is extremely difficult to spot without walking very close.
“Can anyone live here?” the girl whispered.
The dilapidation of the villa is obvious. It is conservatively estimated that no one has taken care of it for 5 years. There are layers of fallen leaves piled in front of the door.
“You can stay outside if you don’t want to live there,” the strong man said without looking back, then held an umbrella and walked towards the villa.
Jiang Cheng looked at the strong man's back. The strong man's mood seemed to be getting worse. In fact, everyone could hear that the girl was just complaining.
But Jiang Cheng smelled fear from the two people's complaints and dissatisfaction.
After everyone followed, the fat man holding an umbrella with Jiang Cheng urged: "What are you looking at, brother, come over quickly."
"Yeah."
No one answered the door, so the strong man tried to push it. Unexpectedly, the thick wooden door was pushed open a gap.
The door is unlocked.
When the door was fully opened, the scene inside came into view.
The spacious living room is slightly old, but not much dilapidated. There is a thin layer of dust on the floor, as well as on the rectangular dining table. (End of this chapter)
