Chapter 267: Into the Mountains



I was a little surprised: "Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"

"Is this important?" Du Yue shook his head suspiciously, "Do you think that my arrest has anything to do with the Nikkies?"

"It's not impossible. I said, "The fact that the Niki were able to leave the southern foothills and take refuge on the island before the cataclysm began, means that they must have learned something in advance, and maybe the people from the Blue Bird Company thought that you went to them to find out their secrets." ”

Du Yue nodded thoughtfully: "I didn't expect this before. ”

Speaking of which, I asked again if the Moon Spirit had discovered anything during the previous communication with Dawn, but the Moon Spirit still had no memory of the events on the island.

Du Yue said don't look at us, standing on the top of the front mountain, looking at the mountains in front of us, it feels like there is not much distance, in fact, it will take a long time to walk over.

"Can you point out the location of the Nicky?" I asked.

"I can't ...... it," Du Yue seemed to think my words were a little funny, "And the location of the Niki people is not fixed, they often wander back and forth in the southern foothills of the mountains. ”

"Oh...... Is it similar to a nomad?" I asked.

"Yes. ”

"And what do they usually eat? Do they grow their own crops?"

"I'll grow some myself. Du Yue nodded: "And don't think that the Niki people are completely isolated from the world, in fact, they sometimes leave the southern foothills of the mountains and go to nearby towns and villages to buy things, they themselves are a branch of the Tibetan people, not some uncivilized natives, and some people even speak Chinese." ”

I frowned, I remember that no one on the island seemed to speak Chinese.

I immediately raised this question, Du Yue waved his hand and said, "There are a lot of Niki people, and the Niki people on the island should only be a small number. ”

I nodded.

When we came into contact with the Nikki tribe on the island, Du Yue was still unconscious, so we couldn't let her verify it accurately.

Then Du Yue took a closer look at the mountains in front of him, and then pointed to a faintly visible forest path on the right side below and said, "From this side, this is the way we entered the back mountain last time." ”

I squinted and looked deeper into the trail, and saw that it had only lasted a short distance, and there was no way forward.

Du Yue saw my thoughts, and immediately said: "The road below is blocked by the canopy, of course you can't see it when you stand on it, let's go, even if there is no road, we can easily cross the woods." ”

"Makes sense. I nodded.

But soon I realized that I wasn't worrying about the road at all, I was still worried about yesterday......

Ever since I saw those people who "came back from the dead", I felt that my worldview had been completely turned upside down, and later He Yunsong comforted me, saying that those people were probably not completely dead before, but just entered a state of suspended animation caused by the virus, and then the body became the kind of thing we see under the trend of this virus.

But I still find it hard to accept.

In addition, I have a doubt.

If this is how the "gecko people" on this land are formed, then what is the black thing on the baby's face on the island? Is it another mutated creature?

Things are getting more and more than I imagined, and I am worried that after entering the depths of the southern foothills, I may see more things that I cannot accept.

Soon we were walking down the trail we had just seen.

As soon as I entered the forest, the familiar feeling returned, and I felt as if I was back on the island again......

To be honest, I still miss life on the island a little bit, of course, I mean that with the three waves of Blue Jays, the Salvation Army, and the Wanderers not disturbing our normal lives, at least we could have imagined a little bit of what it would be like to return to normal society at that time, but now it seems that it can only be in vain.

The forests here are much the same as those on the island, because they are in the tropics, and they are also untouched forests.

Once again, I began to try to get Moon Spirit to remember, telling her that we used to walk together in the woods like this before, and Moon Spirit probably felt that I was constantly asking her to find memories, and was a little tired of me, and shook her head and told me to stop dwelling on the issue.

"Xiao Chen, anyway, I already believe you now, and I have also broken away from the Blue Bird Company, so is this memory still important? The most important thing for us now is to find out what the people of the Blue Bird Company are doing. ”

......

I said in my heart that of course this is important, and only when the moon spirit recovers her previous memories can I remember what happened between me and her...... I just had a chance to talk to her......

We soon descended into the woods, and the trail was smooth at first, but then it became narrow and difficult to walk.

Du Yue began to ask about Duan Xiaoxiao's situation at this time, and I told her that Duan Xiaoxiao's current ability was already against the sky, so she must not underestimate her, especially what she saw or heard, she must absolutely believe it.

Du Yue nodded.

We walked along the trail for about two hours, and then we saw that the path on the ground was completely gone, and we began to follow the direction of the compass on my mountain knife to the west, and after another hour we finally broke through the woods.

During this time, we didn't meet any animals, not even the birds in the sky, but this is understandable, after all, it is daytime, and those animals cannot see the light.

Standing in front of us at this time is a stone wall about 100 meters high, but fortunately, the angle is not particularly exaggerated, and there are many raised stones on it.

Du Yue said that after climbing over this stone wall, she would have reached the place where she was tied up last time.

"So soon?" I said in amazement, "so you mean, you've never been to the Niki settlement?"

"No?" Du Yue shook his head: "But I know the general direction, I can try to find it later." ”

"That means you're not familiar with the terrain from here onwards, are you?"

"Yes. ”

......

Damn, I said in my heart that I had brought Amy over if I knew it, and when I was leaving, Amy asked me if I needed her to go, she was still familiar with the terrain of the southern foothills.

But now that you've come here, it's impossible to go back.

The four of us began to strap our belongings to our bodies and climbed up the stone wall.

It's a breeze for us to climb this thing now, and it took us less than ten minutes to get to the top.

Above was a large area of desolate rock, with only a few weeds and trees embedded in the crevices, and further west, a much more sparse wood, and the reason why it was so sparse was not natural, but cut down.

That's right, there are already traces of human activity here.

I asked Du Yue if this was the case the last time she came, but she said that she and her team had only been attacked as soon as they came up, and they didn't see the situation in front of them in a panic.

I nodded, nervous for no reason, and I told the Moon Spirits to quickly take out their weapons.

However, the moon spirit didn't seem to move.

She was standing alone, staring at the forest in front of her.

"Moon Spirit?" I called out to her, and I saw another flash of blue light in her eyes.

After a long time, Yue Ling shuddered, looked at me and said, "Xiao Chen...... That's where I got into trouble......"

"Huh, you mean...... When you came to hike in the South Foothills last year?"

"Yes. Moon Ling nodded.

"But...... You're not saying you're falling off a cliff......"

I stopped in the middle of my sentence, and at the same time looked back at the stone wall that I had just climbed up behind me: "You fell from here?"

"That's right. Moon Ling nodded.

"How did you fall?" I asked.

"I ...... I can't remember......" Moon Spirit's expression seemed to be painful.
