Chapter 180: Inquiry.
In the county seat of Yushan Village, Wild Rose went to a clothing store, and when she returned, she looked like a different person, in her words, a disguise.
The two did not enter the mountains for the first time, but simply dealt with each other for one night in the guest house in Yushan Village.
The owner of the guest house is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with dark skin and an honest face, and he is a native of Yushan Village.
During the meal, Xia Chen asked the boss about the current situation in Yushan Village, of course, in order not to arouse suspicion, he did not point to the topic, but used roundabout tactics.
"Boss, my girlfriend and I took advantage of the vacation to travel in the mountains, I don't know what places are worth going to in this Yushan Village?"
The boss smoked a homemade dry cigarette and shook his head, "Young man, if you are traveling, there is nothing worth visiting here, I am afraid you will be disappointed." ”
"Why? I think the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the environment is very good, and I plan to go to the mountains with my girlfriend tomorrow to enjoy the natural scenery." Xia Chen said with a haha.
As soon as these words came out, the boss's face changed instantly, and he almost dropped the dry tobacco in his hand to the ground.
"Young man, you can't go to this mountain, it's dangerous, you don't know how terrifying it is, there are rumors of ...... in it"
In the following time, the boss briefly recounted the rumors about the mountain, saying that it was haunted inside, and nine out of ten people who went in couldn't get out, and they were all eaten by the demons and monsters in the mountain, and there were no bones left.
Xia Chen understood what the evil ghost in the boss's mouth was referring to, so he didn't show a very surprised expression, he stopped and said unconcernedly: "Boss, it's the 21st century now, and there are still ghosts and gods, we don't believe these miles." ”
"Don't believe it...... the boss walked to the dining table with a dry cigarette, sat down next to Xia Chen, he took a puff of the cigarette, and said mysteriously: "I didn't believe it at first, but too many strange things have happened recently." ”
"Two days ago I heard a great movement in the mountains, some of which looked like the roar of wild beasts, and it was so frightening that the whole village heard it. ”
Strange noise?
Xia Chen and Wild Rose glanced at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and after thinking about it, Xia Chen continued: "It's normal for there to be a few beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, this doesn't prove anything, isn't it that you are too suspicious." ”
"Don't believe it. The boss looked around, saw that there was no one around, moved a chair close to Xia Chen's side and whispered: "Two days ago, I went to the field to harvest vegetables, and saw a person sneaking into the mountains.
The boss said, his face showed a look of horror, he held back the fear in his heart and said: "Whoosh! This person jumped on a tree branch more than ten meters high, and disappeared in front of my eyes in the blink of an eye. ”
Jumping more than ten meters high at once? This person's cultivation must be above the middle stage of the Imperial Qi Realm, but I don't know who it is, and nine times out of ten it is related to the members of the shadow.
"What about the strange noise, what is it?"
Wild Rose didn't care about the person who suddenly disappeared, compared to this, she cared more about the strange voice mentioned in the boss's mouth, Xia Chen followed and urged the boss to ask.
The boss didn't know how to describe it, and he didn't know how to describe it after meditating.
Back in the room, Xia Chen looked at Wild Rose and said curiously, "Do you have anything to add to the boss......'s statement?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the sound of underground lab machines running. ”
"But that's not right, the laboratory has already been closed because of the last virus leak, why is it suddenly running again. ”
Hearing this, Xia Chen's eyebrows frowned, "Are you talking about the kind of virus that will make the human body petrified?"
"That's right, it was also during that leak that my brother was unfortunately infected, and in order to minimize the damage, the laboratory was completely sealed from that moment on, and when everyone inside died, the body was removed from the inside and burned. ”
"The lab had to stop temporarily due to the loss of important data. ”
"Now it's suddenly opened again, and there must be a cat. Wild Rose's face became embarrassed, I don't know if it was because of the mention of her brother again, or if it reminded her of the horrific scene at that time, and her emotions became unstable as she spoke.
"This answer, it seems that we can only know after we go in, I hope that this time I can find the clues we need. ”
"For now, it seems that this may be the only way. Wild Rose calmed her irritable mood, and suddenly turned her head to look at Xia Chen coldly, "In that case, why are you still staying in the room, do you want to live with me?"
Xia Chen touched his nose in embarrassment, he didn't expect the woman to change her face when she said it, and there was no sign at all.
"You have a good rest, we will go into the mountain early tomorrow morning. ”
Dropping these words, Xia Chen turned around and exited the room.
This night is destined to be sleepless, Xia Chen did not sleep, but seized the time to cultivate the Heavenly Dome Creation Technique, and now the realm has reached the bottleneck of the second layer, and it may break through to the new third layer realm at any time.
What kind of danger will be encountered tomorrow, no one knows, Xia Chen can only pin his hopes on the breakthrough of the exercises, but looking at the form, there is still a lack of opportunity for a breakthrough.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Xia Chen and Wild Rose quietly left the guest house and went to the mountains.
The mountain road is rugged, the ground has become muddy due to the rain a few days ago, and in addition to facing countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, there are also invisible natural traps.
Both of them are not ordinary people, which naturally does not bother them, and they hurried all the way, and soon they couldn't see Yushan Village behind them, surrounded by heavy grass and trees.
"Here's for you!"
After advancing a few miles, Wild Rose threw something towards Xia Chen, Xia Chen took it and saw that it was a pill, and before she could explain the use of the pill, Xia Chen had already identified the effect of the pill from the taste.
This is a poison repelling pill, although it looks similar to the pill, but in fact, it is just a shape kneaded into various medicinal liquids, and it has nothing to do with refining.
"There is a terrible poisonous mist on the outside of the base all year round, and once ordinary people smell it, if there is no antidote, they will die in a few minutes. ”
"And this medicine is an antidote researched by a doctor in the shadow base, although it can't 100% restrain the erosion of toxins, but it can greatly alleviate the aggression of the poisonous fog, and the time can last for 1 day. ”
"I don't have many pills here, two people can only last for two days at most, so if I go in this time, I hope to solve them at one time if possible, but it really can't be done, in order to enter next time, I have to find as many of this pill as possible." ”
Xia Chen nodded to show that he understood, as for this pill, he didn't eat it, but put it in his pocket without Wild Rose noticing.
