Due to the sparse vegetation, the mountain road of Sanlidi is relatively easy to walk, although there are poisonous harassments from time to time, but it is still much inferior to the dense forest behind it.

Li Tianchou quietly collected a few biological samples, planning to find an opportunity to send the pictures to the instructor for research, and strive to get some useful information.

The road suddenly opened up, and a long and narrow flat field appeared in front of me, like the head of a sharp-beaked woodpecker, and the sharp snout part was just connected to the path of the three people.

The flat land is about two or three acres in size, and the gray-yellow mountain rock is very flat, with almost no green vegetation on it, but it is surrounded by tall, scattered trees that shade this extremely rare boulder in the jungle.

In the north of the flat land, there are a few simple thatched huts built by hand, although they are crooked, but they are much better than expected, this should be the temporary camp that Gong San said.

Sure enough, Gong San in front of him stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed to the grass house, "That's it." ”

Li Tianchou let go of Pan Lao, reached out and took off the rifle that was being carried diagonally, loaded it with a very skillful push, turned his head and asked Gong San, "What's the difference between here and when you came here before?"

"It's still the same. Gong San took a closer look, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"Go check it out. Li Tianchou picked up his rifle and ordered unceremoniously.

Gong San naturally did so, but there was a slight dissatisfaction between his eyebrows, which was fleeting and difficult to detect. He picked up the firewood knife in his hand, and walked towards the grass house with bated breath.

Li Tianchou allowed Pan Lao to sit on the ground, holding a rifle behind Gong San, keeping a considerable distance. In this way, the two approached the grass house one after the other.

There are three thatched houses, two low and one high, the structure is simple, the exterior is lifeless, a dilapidated scene, the doors and windows of the front one have long been lost, revealing two large black holes, judging by the senses alone, this place has indeed been uninhabited for a long time.

At first, Gong San was very careful, and after rushing into the first room with courage, he acted much faster, and searched the inside and out of the three grass houses in a few minutes, Li Tianchou gave him a thumbs up, but he didn't appreciate it, as if he was very uncomfortable The other party pointed a gun at him behind his back.

Li Tianchou didn't care about it in his eyes, observing Gong San from all angles, he had already planned it, and if necessary, he could even humiliate the other party with words and actions, so as to test his reaction.

Judging from Gong San's expression and actions just now, this person is not willing to be driven by others, he seems to be very arrogant, but in fact, he is suspicious by nature, especially disgusted with betrayal, and his personality is very distinct, and it is not something that can be covered up by simple disguise, so it seems that this fat guy must have a high status in his organization.

The three of them chose a relatively spacious second grass hut as a resting place, although it was dilapidated and did not have any living facilities, but it was still possible to shelter from the wind and rain and hide their figures. The three of them sat on the ground, and Li Tianchou chose a position close to the gate to facilitate observation and vigilance.

The smell in the hut was unpleasant, like a mixture of years of musty and rancid gases, and it was so uncomfortable that the doors and windows were left open for a long time. Gong San carried the firewood knife back and forth, and was actually dug a dark grid under the root of the back wall.

The dark compartment is buried in the ground, the area is not large, it is rectangular, about 60 centimeters long and no more than 40 centimeters wide, and it is covered by a wooden board, which is full of various plastic bags and pots and cans, most of which are food packaging waste thrown by the previous merchants, and the smell is pungent and disgusting.

Seeing that Li Tianchou had no intention of blocking it, Gong San carefully took out an oilcloth bag from it, which looked very heavy and was tightly wrapped.

Can you still find a treasure in such a temporary camp? Gong San discovered it unintentionally, or did he already know about it, and he deliberately designed a routine? Li Tianchou was obviously interested, and at the same time, he secretly and vigilantly signaled the other party to open the package.

The oilcloth is very tough, and the firewood knife has long been dull, so it is naturally difficult to cut, Li Tianchou took out the dagger and threw it to Gong San, and said lightly, "Use it." ”

Gong San was not polite, picked up the dagger and carefully cut the side seam, and when he was about to cut again, Li Tianchou grabbed the other party's wrist, "Wait." Since the fat brother knows this place well, he must know what is in the package, right?"

"It's not familiar, it's just two walks. Gong San's expression was blank, but a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, he felt that the strength of the other party's five fingers was extraordinarily strong, and the demonstration and warning were full of meaning, but the more so, the more calm he became, "In the past, the people who carried the goods would hide some shelf-stable food in the camp, and some rosin and smoked grass and other things to prevent poisonous insects, so the package was nothing more than some jerky and bacon and other things." ”

"Oh, there is such a good thing? Then I'm too careful. Li Tianchou smiled and let go of the other party, but he was more sure of his previous guess in his heart.

The buttercloth was torn open, but inside was a transparent and thickened vacuum packaging bag, through which you could see a large piece of sauce-brown meat inside, which should be cooked food. In addition, there is a long bag, open it to see a handful of black-brown objects like incense, which may be the necessary pine incense and incense for walking in the mountains and forests. really responded to what Gong San said just now, but I don't know how long this kind of thing has been put on the table, can it still be eaten?

But Gong San and Lao Pan had already brightened their eyes, and they couldn't take care of so much. Since he was caught running away yesterday, he has never eaten, and the taste of hunger is unbearable, he can't wait to pick up the vacuum bag, and the aroma is immediately fragrant, overflowing the grass house.

Li Tianchou was also hungry, but he always felt that something was wrong, this bag of meat was like it had been arranged, lying quietly in the dark compartment waiting for them to arrive. Everything seems natural, and everything seems to be carefully designed.

If it's the latter, it's terrible. At that time, when Li Tianchou asked Gongsan about the road leading to Pakan, the other party first introduced the way to climb the mountain head-on, and seemed to be reluctant to mention this path at the foot of the mountain at all. In retrospect, if he had said this path in reverse order, how would he have thought about it, how would he have decided?

It seems that this dead fat man made good use of the reverse psychological suggestion, and easily settled his mentality, which should be intentional. Its real purpose is to lure itself down this path to the cemetery. Regarding the danger of the path, Gong San introduced it in a very orderly manner, which stimulated his adventure and curiosity to the greatest extent.

The organization behind Mo Fei Gong San is...... Li Tianchou immediately shook his head and denied the speculation that had just been formed in his mind, but how should the chasing soldiers who followed explain it? It seems that there are always some places that are not connected, or the logic does not make sense.

But it's not strange in this ghost place, there are many forces intertwined, there are many factions, and the ghost knows because of the entanglement of interests, and the two groups of unrelated people will suddenly fight to the death, or inexplicably cooperate closely. simply don't want to, sooner or later the other party will show his feet, Li Tianchou is confident that it is more than enough to control the two people around him, and as for the emergency, he can only improvise.

Gong San forked out a large piece of bacon with a dagger, divided it into three parts with a vacuum bag, and sincerely invited Li Tianchou to do it first, while Lao Pan on the side swallowed saliva continuously, and his stomach was already rumbling.

Regardless of whether the other party was deliberately tempting or not, Li Tianchou unceremoniously grabbed the largest piece, tore off one with his bare hands and stuffed it into his mouth, smoked and dried food is always very hard, but the taste is very good, it has not deteriorated at all, he can't help but praise it if he can eat it so delicious in this deep mountain and wild mountains.

Seeing that Li Tianchou was eating with relish, the two couldn't wait to grab a piece of each, tear it and put it in their mouths, gobbling it up and shouting happily.

He couldn't be sure if there was a problem with this food, Li Tianchou could only observe while eating, with his strong control over the muscles of his whole body, some food could be temporarily stored in a certain position in the pharynx, and if there was a slight mistake, he could use his fingers to pick it out.

The demeanor and demeanor of the two were not abnormal, probably because they were hungry, Lao Pan ate faster than Gong San, and the half fist-sized piece of meat was wiped out in a blink of an eye, and he rolled his eyes because of thirst.

Li Tianchou stopped Gong San's idea of going to the vicinity to find a water source, and took down a marching kettle from his waist, which still contained most of the pot of water, which was captured from the pursuing soldiers.

This place is full of dangers, even the animals have signs of mutation, and what will be the condition of the water source, Li Tianchou will never take the risk. Most of the pot of water is saved, and it is more than enough to moisten the throat, and it is impossible to talk about quenching thirst.

While tearing the pieces of meat slowly and methodically, while calculating the time, Li Tianchou unconsciously paced out the door, the sun was slightly wester, and the watch showed that it was two o'clock in the afternoon. It seems that you will have to set off after a break of one hour at most, and it seems that the road to the cemetery is not far for ten miles, but the journey is dangerous, and there are more unpredictable things after arriving at the core area, so it is better to prepare early.

Back at the grass house, Li Tianchou informed the two of them of his decision, then took the firewood knife and turned his head out to walk around the boulder, observing the terrain on the one hand, and wanting to take a closer look at the snake and insect body fluids that had solidified on the firewood knife.

Since he had the dagger, Gong San has held it firmly in his hand and never put it down, and he has never thought about returning this thing, it seems that this thing has great lethality, Li Tianchou didn't bother to say it, and let him go, the small dagger did not pose any threat to him.

Lao Pan is very well-behaved, after eating food and drinking water, he began to close his eyes and recuperate, without half a word of nonsense, he naturally knew the danger after setting off again, and he didn't expect that in the event of a crisis, the two ruthless people around him could really help him, so try to recover a trace of physical fitness, there is more hope for saving his life.

The solidified thing on the firewood knife was very hard, and Li Tianchou reversed the back of the knife and knocked it on the rock, and it actually made a slight trill, as if something on the handle of the knife was loose. As soon as his mind moved, he added strength to his hand, and with a bang, several fingernail-sized fragments fell from the ground, and when he looked at the blade, it had become a jagged and uneven shape.

The fragments were rust-colored, slightly glowing with blue light, Li Tianchou was secretly surprised, and instantly understood that these fragments were actually part of the blade, and they were so fragile after being corroded! Sure enough, as expected, the body fluids of these snakes and insects were extremely corrosive, even more than strong acids, and the species in this area were by no means normal, and to a large extent, they could be determined to be mutated.
