Chapter 37 Chapter 37
Without the obvious dry trees like road signs, it is very difficult to walk in the lush jungle.They walked for about half a day, but they were not far from the clearing.
Mu Chengrui was fully armed, so he didn't believe what Professor Li said, that the group of monsters would stop attacking after they achieved their goal.They walked in the direction they had come, and walked into the woods to see if there were any clues left by those monsters in the jungle.
In the end, nothing was seen. The roots, fallen leaves, dead branches, and tall trees on the ground formed a perfect distribution of upper, middle and lower layers, but there were no saprophytes such as fungi in this perfect distribution.
The jungle was silent, except for the sound of the four of them stepping on fallen leaves, there was no other sound.
"Do you know the origin of those monsters?" Mu Chengrui asked Ye Chengqing.
The other party shook his head, "I haven't had direct contact, so I don't know."
"Didn't you come across it when you were wandering around in the jungle?"
"I was just wandering around, not walking towards the edge of the forest like I am now."
"Then you really believe Professor Li's words, saying that there is something imprisoning you here, and wants to observe you."
Ye Chengqing twitched the corner of his mouth, noncommittal.
Later, Zhang Yanliang felt that it was too slow for the four of them to act together, and suggested that they divide into groups of old and young.Xiao Zaizi and Ye Chengqing are in the youth group. They are in good health and have strong mobility. They just happen to play forward in front.Mu Chengrui and Zhang Yanliang were the parents' group, they moved slowly, followed the path they stepped out, and followed slowly, and it would not be too late to go to support if they found something.
Mu Chengrui was extremely reluctant to such a grouping.Why separate him from the brat.After thinking about it, Zhang Yanliang can't get along with the little boy alone, so he felt a little more balanced.But the thought of acting with this hypocritical and cunning guy made Mu Chengrui feel uncomfortable.So there was no good face along the way, and the two were very silent.After a long time, Zhang Yanliang looked up at the sky, "We walked for about six or seven hours, and it's about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. If we continue walking, we may not be able to make it back before dark."
"Then we can only spend the night outside." Mu Chengrui said.
Zhang Yanliang pondered for a while, "Have you ever thought that when the monster attacked yesterday, it was the time when we asked Professor Li to leave."
"Why, you think this is a man-made incident."
"For example, someone wants us to feel that it is dangerous to go alone, not to leave the large group."
"But we came out to investigate, and we didn't stop him."
"Because they're sure we'll go back."
"That's right. However, having said that, I feel a little strange. When I talked to Professor Li today, I always felt that he had a lot of things to hide from us, but he didn't want to say it. In his words, he always meant to quarrel with me."
Zhang Yanliang was silent for a while, "No matter what he is hiding, we will always know the answer if we go down this road."
When it was dark, Xiao Zaizi and Ye Chengqing came back together, ate some briefly, and the four of them took turns keeping vigil and rested all night.Continue the next day, also divided into two groups.
After walking for a long time, the youth team greeted them in front and said that they had found something.Mu Chengrui and Zhang Yanliang rushed over together, and saw Ye Chengqing squatting and pulling something among the dead trees.When I walked in, I found that it was a dead bone.There is no peculiar smell around, and there are no sticky attachments after the corpse has been corroded, only the bones that have been dried and rotted into holes.
Judging from this degree of weathering, it is not known when this person died.
"That's not sure, this forest is full of weirdness."
"It should be before the founding of the People's Republic of China, that is, in 1." Qin Muzhou said suddenly.Maybe he noticed that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, so he explained: "The corpse is leaning on a stick-shaped thing about 1946 meter long, weighing about four kilograms. I guess it should be an automatic rifle. Here Being so close to Russia, the former Soviet SKS semi-automatic rifle should meet this requirement. This gun was finalized in [-], and the person who can get such a rifle and appear in the deep mountains and old forests has a high status."
Mu Chengrui looked at the boy in surprise, and then at the pile of bones.What is this kid talking nonsense, this pile of bones has no gun, not even a stick.
Zhang Yanliang said: "It's very possible. You see, his skull is on his hip bones, his legs are crossed, and his two arms seem to be holding something, and are supported by this thing. But once the thing is taken away, the whole person will be shattered." They are grouped together, as if they were neatly stacked."
Mu Chengrui is a little upset, the brat is talking nonsense, and you agree with him, is it interesting?
"Then, according to this, the relics of this corpse were either taken away after death, or someone put it like this on purpose." Ye Chengqing said thoughtfully.
Mu Chengrui glared at him fiercely, making him baffled.
Zhang Yanliang ignored their private actions, "Let's take a look around, maybe we will find something else."
Then they found more than a dozen corpses around them, just like before, neatly arranged, but without any relics.This is not like someone who died because of the war, but rather like some kind of sacrifice.
The little boy stood quietly, without speaking.The four searched around the bone pile, but there was nothing but the bones.Zhang Yanliang felt that there was nothing left to study, so he proposed to leave.
The four of them continued on the road, with the little boy leading the way and Ye Chengqing at the rear.After walking for more than an hour, the front suddenly stopped moving.
"Why don't you go?"
Zhang Yanliang staggered his body, indicating that you can see for yourself.
Mu Chengrui tilted his head and looked, huh, isn't that the Mr. Bone they met first?
They are back again.
Many answers popped up in Mu Chengrui's head, ghost hitting the wall?Some kind of Qimen Dunjia?Collapse space?Did the boy take the wrong path?Or what Professor Li said was true, they were also trapped in the woods and couldn't get out.
"It's actually true, we can't get out, it's impossible... I don't believe it..." Ye Chengqing turned pale and muttered to himself.As if he couldn't believe such an answer, he shook his head, stepped back, and ran back the same way.
"Ye Chengqing!" Mu Chengrui was the closest to him, and hurriedly called his name, trying to pull him back, but Zhang Yanliang stopped him. "Don't chase, if you really can't get out, he will come from here." Zhang Yanliang pointed to their front, the direction they went before.
But Mu Chengrui is a worrying master, thinking that there are still monsters attacking them secretly, Mu Chengrui is worried about the safety of that boy Ye Chengqing.Although we haven't been together for a long time, people also reveal weirdness everywhere.But he is not much older than his own son, and he is still Qin Molin's classmate.He is a figure from the uncle generation, and when he is away from home, he has to bear a responsibility for these children.
Mu Chengrui was about to look for it, but Ye Chengqing came back from the same way.
"How about it?"
Ye Chengqing shook his head, looking deeply shocked.
"You should tell the truth now." Zhang Yanliang said coldly, "Tell us why you can't get out, and what attacked me?"
Ye Chengqing glanced at him, but said nothing.The boy drew out the long knife and put it on his neck.Ye Chengqing sneered, "What do you mean by that? You want to kill someone to silence you."
"We don't want your life, we just want to know the answer."
"The answer is that I don't know either. Didn't you do your homework before entering the forest? This forest is inherently evil. People used to call this forest the Forest of No Return. It has been hundreds of years since you can't go out. Now If you want an answer, where can I fix it for you? I'm still confused!"
"Don't use this kind of words to deceive us. Professor Li didn't say that. He didn't mention anything about Linzi before. He only said that he came to the forest to take refuge because of the zombies. If it wasn't for the monster attack, it is estimated that I won't even say it."
"Professor Li is Professor Li, I am me, don't confuse us. And I was also cheated. It was only when I was in the woods that someone told me that I couldn't get out of the woods. That's why I came out with you to confirm this. .” Ye Chengqing retorted angrily.
"Okay, each of you say a few words less. The important thing now is how to get out of here." Mu Chengrui hurriedly tried to smooth things over, and motioned to the little boy before he reluctantly put away the knife.
"Why don't we go this way again."
Then the four walked again, and after walking for about 10 minutes, the four met the Mr. Bone again.For a while, everyone was a little discouraged, standing in front of the pile of bones, watching it silently.
"You said, are we going in circles? But we are walking in a straight line." Mu Chengrui couldn't help but say.
"I don't know, maybe something interfered with us."
"what?"
"Brain waves, magnetic fields, or ghosts and ghosts."
Speaking of ghosts and ghosts, Mu Chengrui felt a chill.It was as if there was something really watching them around here, waiting for them to come out to eat their flesh and blood after they were mad, exhausted, and self-destroyed, adding four new bones here.
Ye Chengqing didn't believe this evil, so he walked several times.I returned a few times from the original road, and left the bone's position and headed towards the edge a few times.But the final result is back to the original point.
It was as if he was trapped here, unable to get out or go back, and everyone's faces were very ugly for a while.
On the contrary, Zhang Yanliang was the calmest, telling them not to bother.Look at the time, it is already evening, let everyone rest first, and visit again tomorrow.Everyone had no choice but to accept the proposal.
Ye Chengqing was the first to watch the night, but he didn't know who else could sleep on such a night.
Mu Chengrui was woken up by a man shaking him. It was still dawn, so his first reaction was to think it was his turn.She took a sleepy look, but only saw Zhang Yanliang alone, but not Xiao Zaizi and Ye Chengqing.Why did those two go? Could it be that they made an appointment to go to the bathroom together?
"Where's Mu Zhou and Ye Chengqing?" Mu Chengrui asked confusedly.
The man looked around with a serious face, "Something is wrong. They left without waking us up."
What?The brats are gone, will it be...
