Chapter 190 Forest
"You can understand that this is a projection of the real world based on certain conditions." Jiang Cheng gestured to the shadow beside the fat man on the beach, thought for a moment, and said, "It's like you represent The real world, and this is your shadow.”
The fat man’s lips wriggled for a while before he stuttered and said: “So. So this is not true. Our world, but these two worlds are in a symbiotic relationship."
"Symbiotic relationship." Jiang Cheng thought for a while, then shook his head and denied: "A symbiotic relationship is a mutually beneficial relationship between the two. Neither one nor the other can survive, but..."
He looked up at the fat man and continued: "If I shoot your shadow, will you die?"
The examples he gave are easy to understand.
What happens in this world will not affect the real world.
"Doctor," after a while, the fat man had digested the information the former had instilled in him. He looked at the doctor and frowned and asked, "But what is the difference between this and what you said before?"
"Even if you are right, here is indeed It's a projection of the real world, so what?"
The fat man blinked, as if he was worried that the doctor would misinterpret his meaning, and added: "I mean, can we get any different information from it? ”
"Since it is a projection, there is a high probability that it will follow the inherent laws of our world." Jiang Cheng looked at the vast sea. After a while, he replied: "This is very important."
"Let's go," Jiang Cheng took back He changed his gaze and walked forward, "Let's go over there and have a look."
According to the division before the operation, the area near the coast was in charge of Fatty Jiangcheng, and the forest was in the hands of Su Xiaoxiao and Su An.
The main purpose of their trip was to find food, especially water.
After not drinking water all day and night, their throats were dry and sore. If it weren't for exchanging clues, almost no one would want to speak.
Except for necessary disguises, of course.
Jiang Cheng and the two first walked along the cliff. The fat man gently knocked on the rock wall with the stones he picked up, and found that the seemingly solid rock wall had been severely eroded by the sea wind.
With a little force, flaky rocks will peel off.
It seems that Diplodocus was right. It is almost impossible to climb up the cliff from here, especially without the help of professional tools.
"Doctor," the fat man, who was afraid of being exposed to the sun and squatting in the shade, raised his head and asked, "Could this be an isolated island?"
Except for the forest that stretches as far as the eye can see, nothing here looks passable.
Little Miss Su and her brother were not seen near the forest, and it was not clear whether they had run away to hide, or whether they had actually stepped into this unusually quiet forest.
Didn't hear Jiang Cheng's answer, the fat man looked along his line of sight, licked his lips, and whispered unwillingly: "Doctor, do you think there is something wrong with this forest?"
< br>"Yeah."
"Then Su Xiaoxiao and the others."
"Fat man," Jiang Cheng squinted in the direction of the forest and suddenly said, "Do you still remember the path that old woman took you?"
The fat man was stunned, blinked and said, "You said so. Before I found you and Chenran?”
“Yes.”
“We met on the coast. The old woman was in the water," the fat man recalled: "Later we walked around the coast, and then she took us to the cliff and said to give it a try"
"In other words, she would rather risk climbing. Climbing the cliff, I don't want to get close to that forest," Jiang Cheng exhaled, with a tone that sounded more like a suspicion had been confirmed than a question.
The way he looked at the forest became more and more intriguing.
The fat man lowered his voice and asked as if to confirm: "Does that mean there are weird things in the forest?"
"There are weird things everywhere here, the lighthouse, the ocean, and the buildings, but the weird ones in the forest are even more It's bigger and more dangerous," Jiang Cheng replied, "That's why the old woman who came here for the second time chose to avoid it directly. I think the group of people who lived here must have encountered something in the forest."
Hearing that the fat man's face gradually changed, the doctor's speculation was reasonable.
But he did not say anything clearly. Those people must have encountered something incomprehensible in the forest, which resulted in heavy losses. The old woman might even be the only one who survived.
This experience was so unforgettable to the old woman that she gave up exploring.
"Doctor," he seemed to have thought of something. The fat man's face was very ugly, and he trembled his lips. It took him a long time to say: "Then Su Xiaoxiao and the others won't all die in there, right?"< br>
“I don’t know.” Jiang Cheng’s profile showed no emotion, “But I think even if they can come out , I guess it’s about the same as us.”
“Almost” the fat man repeated the doctor’s words in a low voice, and then he seemed to have come to his senses, raised his head and said, “Doctor, you mean to find them even if they can come back. No food or water? ”
“Yeah. ”
"But why?" Fatty couldn't help but ask: "Is the purpose of this book to trap us to death?"
Since coming into contact with the weird nightmare mission, Fatty has imagined countless times how he would do it To die would be like having his head pulled off by a ghost, or having his neck broken, or being hung up and bled
But he never imagined that there was such a way to die from starvation and thirst in the nightmare.
Hmm. He thought he would probably die of thirst.
Because people can survive for a while without food, but without water, a few days is the limit.
He was already seriously considering the feasibility of chewing the bark of the tree if that was not possible.
After a long silence, Jiang Cheng's body was hidden in the shadows.
I don’t know why, no matter what kind of desperate situation he encounters, he seems to feel that he can survive it as long as the doctor is by his side.
Just when the fat man thought the doctor was silent because he was discouraged, he suddenly heard a slightly hoarse voice.
"Fat man," the doctor spoke again, but this time the latter's voice made him feel strange and even shuddering. He once thought it was an auditory hallucination caused by mental stress.
"I'm here, doctor."
"Do you remember what that old woman said?" Jiang Cheng paused and reminded, "Last night?"
Thinking about it, Fatty recalled while speaking hesitantly. The scene at that time was very strange, so Fatty remembered it quite clearly: "She said it was coming, she heard a sound, and then she said everyone was going to die!" < br>
The fat man carefully swallowed his precious saliva, his throat was dry and uncomfortable, "She also said that something was calling her, she should have died here, died here with them!"
Scenes from last night appeared in Fatty's mind. The woman's ferocious face and sharp and strange voice were like a saw-toothed dagger, repeatedly slicing his nerves.
Severe pain stimulated his head, and recalling the state of the woman at that time, the fat man seemed to be disturbed by something inexplicable, and completely entered the role of the woman.
Well, it’s a little late.
