Chapter 1337 Lost
People of little value will be treated as expendables. This is helpless, but also very realistic. What makes Jiang Cheng even more sad is that the group of people walking in front of them may also feel sad in their hearts. Knowing this, on the one hand, it is a mountain of military orders, and on the other hand, it is also their responsibility. These people are countless short microcosms. In essence, they are the same as those deceived night watchmen.
After walking for about an hour, slowly, the forest in front of me became denser, and the road under my feet became more and more difficult to walk. Stepping on the thick fallen leaves, the soles of my feet became soft, giving people a very unsteady feeling. Jiang Cheng paused, and a strange feeling flowed out from the bottom of his heart, as if... he had stepped on a rotting corpse.
Unconsciously, they entered the depths of the forest. The surrounding trees became taller and taller, their shade blocked the sky and the sun, and less and less light filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves above their heads.
“Something’s wrong, aren’t we going down the mountain? It seems like we are walking deeper into the mountain.”
The fat man pulled his feet out from the thick leaves and couldn't help but say.
"It's indeed a bit strange."
Luo Yunshan turned around and waved his hand, and the man in camouflage uniforms who was wearing headphones came over, "I have already checked with the people in the front team, our progress There is no problem with the direction, everything is normal. It is estimated that it will be completed within 1 hour. "We will walk out of this mountain later."
During this period of hesitation, someone suddenly spoke in a rapid voice behind him, and then the whole team became lively. Looking in the direction of the finger, the line of sight not far away was blocked. Blurred, a burst of mist floated over quietly.
A middle-aged man wearing a jungle jacket and glasses squinted his eyes, and then his face changed drastically, "No, it seems to be miasma, everyone prepare gas masks."
Soon, everyone took out the gas masks from their backpacks and put them on their faces, and the mist filled the air at this moment. Jiang Cheng felt a little relieved. They were breathing fairly smoothly now, and their respiratory tracts and skin exposed to the mist were There was no burning sensation, so it wasn't too bad.
But just as he recovered, Jiang Cheng noticed that No. 2, No. 13 and others stopped one after another, staring at the direction they were going. Looking along, Jiang Cheng saw several lines at the limit of his field of vision. The figures, with their backs to them, looked like the people from the previous group judging from their clothing, but the strange thing was that these figures were stuck there like logs, motionless.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Cheng lowered his voice.
"These people haven't moved. Ever since we stopped, they also stopped." Because of wearing a mask, No. 13's voice was muffled, but he could still hear his nervousness at the moment. "It seems...as if they have been waiting for us."
"And they didn't wear gas masks. I kept staring, and they didn't even make any move to pick up the masks."
The words of No. 2 made everyone nervous. After all, the fog was probably a poisonous miasma, and the front team members also carried gas masks. There was no reason for them not to take them out.
Unless...unless they are dead, or these people are simply something else.
Perhaps to verify his suspicion, No. 2 took a few steps forward alone. A strange scene appeared. These figures like wooden piles actually moved. They also took a few steps forward, and As No. 2 stopped, these figures also stopped.
Now everyone's scalp was numb. The situation in front of them was already very clear. There must be something wrong with the group in front of them. They were trying to lure them into the depths of the jungle. As for where they wanted to lure them in the end, That's not clear.
But two words suddenly popped into Jiang Cheng’s mind: Ghost Banquet.
That weird rumor in Xixieming Mountain.
Luo Yunshan made a prompt decision and chose to abandon the previous group. They found another way and left the fog first. There was obviously something wrong with this fog, otherwise how could the timing of its appearance be such a coincidence.
There was a guide in the team. According to the guide's judgment, they chose a new path. The requirement was to get out of the forest as soon as possible.
But not long after walking, they discovered something new. There were actually traces of walking on the road they chose, and there were more than one, many, and they even found a clear shoe print.
The shoe prints are very fresh, they were left just now.
According to the identification of the people in the team, the shoe prints were exactly the kind of boots they wore on their feet, and the people who left such shoe prints were from the previous team.
A frightening chill permeated the team, as if no matter how they changed direction, they were being led by the nose, walking on a path that had already been marked, heading towards a place that had been prepared for them long ago. trap.
This silent sense of powerlessness is eroding everyone’s heart.
"Since we can't escape, let's follow the footprints and see where these people have gone." No. 2 stood up and stared ahead with cold eyes.
There is a clear division of labor within the team. Some people are responsible for leading the way, and others are responsible for guarding the surroundings. Everyone performs their duties, and there is no panic atmosphere. It seems that the team formed by Luoyunshan is quite good. If it were replaced by ordinary people Come on, I'm afraid it would have collapsed a long time ago.
Following the footprints, everyone actually walked out of the fog. This was something no one expected. They originally thought that something was waiting for them deep in the fog, but before they had time to rejoice, the next second, a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky. The scene in front of them shocked everyone. The person froze in place.
A dilapidated cottage looms in the hazy darkness in the distance.
Yes, it was the village they left not long ago, and it was also the village where Lin Waner and her group disappeared.
The village at this moment was like a pool of stagnant water, pitch black, and they were in another direction at the moment, a completely different direction than when they first came, but the result was the same. After going round and round, they finally returned. this place.
Jiang Cheng lowered his head, and there were tiny footprints under his feet, which were crooked and strangely stiff, heading towards the village, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
Jiang Cheng was certain that the previous team had already entered the village.
This is a curse!
It must be a curse!
As long as anyone enters this mountain stronghold, they will never be able to leave this mountain. Sooner or later, they will definitely come back to this mountain stronghold and disappear here quietly.
“Quick, leave quickly.”
In fact, there is no need to remind him at all. After thinking about this clearly, Jiang Cheng immediately retreated. The fog had dispersed at this time. After struggling for so long, time had already entered the dark night. Fine raindrops floated in the sky, hitting his face. My body didn't hurt, but it was surprisingly cold, like a gust of ice rain.
Everyone quickly retreated into the forest, but they did not go far, let alone run away, because there was no need and it was impossible to run away. The only way they could survive now was to find out what was weird about this cottage.
When everyone just hid in the forest, a little fire suddenly lit up in the dark village in the distance, and then, as if it had started, one light after another lit up. (End of this chapter)
