Chapter 1: Hook Mountain

Next Chapter

The night had not yet completely fallen, and there was still a touch of dark red left in the sky, and Chu Tian hurried home, not daring to delay for a moment. As soon as he stepped through the door, an alarm sounded in the sky for a minute.

Curfew, it's on!

Chu Tian walked to the window and closed the curtains, and took a look at Bincheng at night, as the city with the highest level of economic development in China, skyscrapers rose from the ground and reached into the sky, like a giant magnificent, it really looked exciting, but what does this have to do with him? He is just an ordinary little white-collar worker, living a life of two o'clock and one line every day, and even falling in love is a luxury.

Originally, he had no expectations for his future, until not long ago, a faint mark like a ghostly talisman appeared in the palm of his left hand.

I can't remember exactly when, maybe it was a faint global earthquake, or was it when the curfew was suddenly about to be introduced?

Only, what is the use of this mark? He didn't know. I have tried countless methods, consulted countless materials, and found no clues.

He even had some suspicions that it was just pigmentation under the skin, which happened to have a strange shape.

After cooking a bowl of instant noodles and eating it, he opened the webpage and typed the words "Gowushan" in the search box.

Although tomorrow is the weekend, he took a private job and wanted to take a team of people into Wushan.

Bincheng is located next to a mountain range that runs through the north and south of the river, surrounded by many undeveloped wild mountains, and there is an endless stream of mountaineering enthusiasts who come to visit, but most of the mountains have a complex environment, and it is very likely that you will get lost if you go rashly, so people often ask the local travel club for help.

Chu Tian is a senior traveler of the Bincheng Travelers Association.

Hook Wu Mountain is located in the northwest of Ben Thanh, it is a barren mountain, anyway, there are stones on it, and even plants are very rare. And the mountains are still perennially filled with fog, the kind of very thick and thick white fog, although it is not poisonous, but in it, the visibility is less than one meter.

Therefore, when he knew that someone was going to Gowushan by name, he was very surprised, and the remuneration given by the other party was higher than the market price, as if he was worried that no one would want to go.

He skimmed through the search results on the previous pages and shook his head in disappointment, sure enough, there was no useful information.

Just as he was about to turn off the computer, a news window suddenly popped up in the lower right corner:

"The wild tiger in Qingyun Mountain died tragically, and the staff of the forest farm said that it was not like a human being!"

He curiously clicked on the web page, which contained several photos, and although there was a thick mosaic, it was still clear that the tiger's carcass had been torn apart.

It's miserable!, he said secretly, presumably by some psychopathic poacher.

Qingyun Mountain is a protected primeval forest, Chu Tian has been to it once, it can be said to be a paradise for wild animals, predators at the top of the food chain like tigers, except for poachers, are completely free of natural enemies.

After turning off the computer and swiping his phone, he went to bed early, and he will wake up early tomorrow.

The next day, Chu Tianru went out at about 6 o'clock, and saw three modified off-road vehicles at the gate of the community, the chassis of each car was reinforced, and it was replaced with a flat-proof tire, which can easily run hundreds of kilometers even if it is punctured.

A man in a black T-shirt, camouflage pants, and black high leather boots leaned next to the first off-road vehicle, his hands clasped around his chest, a cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke curled around, and he saw Chu Tianhou and waved his hand in this direction.

"Mr. Chu, yes, hello, I'm Gao Xiang, the person who contacted you before, let's get in the car." Gao Xiang took a sharp puff of cigarette, snuffed it out, threw down the cigarette butt, and crushed it with his foot.

In addition to them, there were two other people in the car, also in black T-shirts, camouflage trousers and high leather boots. One of them was a burly man with a bear's waist, and he looked like he could reach at least two ordinary people, while the other was relatively normal, but he had a terrifying scar on his face.

Chu Tian frowned, such a combination, if he said that he was just going to climb the mountain to see the scenery, he wouldn't believe it.

He had brought teams with other purposes into the mountains before, such as geological exploration teams or scientific expeditions, and even brought a team of tomb robbers, but this was only known after the gang was caught.

Therefore, although he guessed that the purpose of these people was not pure, he still agreed, first, this job can indeed make money, which is what he values most, and second, as long as he enters the mountain, even if there is danger, he is sure to retreat. Because he is very familiar with the environment in the mountains, and because of long-term exercise, his physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people.

The off-road vehicle sped down the road and soon left the city and drove into the mountains. The car was very quiet, no one spoke, and after trying a few short awkward conversations, Chu Tian simply closed his eyes and rested.

More than two hours later, the three off-road vehicles stopped halfway up the mountainside, there was no road ahead, and a thick white fog rose from the flat ground, blocking the view, and there was no end in sight. Even vehicles designed and modified to climb mountains and mountains can not move an inch in this visibility.

Everyone quickly got out of the car and began to unload their luggage, and Chu Tian traveled lightly and quietly observed on the side. These people are a group of seven people, uniformly dressed, all but one woman is tall and strong men, one of them is carrying a large metal box, and the rest are carrying a long black cloth bag, I don't know what it contains, but looking at the outline, Chu Tian is sure that eighty percent is weapons and equipment.

Gao Xiang saw that Chu Tian's eyes stayed on the equipment of the team members, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and reminded him lightly: "Mr. Chu, do your job with peace of mind, curiosity will kill the cat! Half of the remuneration has already hit your card, take us in, and you can come back through the fog and get the other half of the remuneration." ”

Chu Tian nodded, and didn't say anything, probably because he grew up in an orphanage, he was very measured in his dealings, what he shouldn't know, what didn't belong to him, he would never try to get something.

"I'll lend you that motorcycle, and you can go back by then." Gao Xiang raised his hand and tossed him a bunch of car keys, adding.

Chu Tian looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that the man in black was lifting an off-road motorcycle from the car, and the hundreds of kilograms of iron guy were like a children's toy in his hand.

"Okay, thanks. He didn't refuse, it didn't seem like the other party was going to go back with him, and it was impossible to get back to Ben Cheng before curfew without transportation.

After everyone was ready, Chu Tian took the lead in walking into the mist, and the others also walked in, all of them looked solemn, like soldiers who were about to be pushed into the battlefield, under the influence of this emotion, Chu Tian also became nervous, and beads of sweat gradually oozed from his forehead. He has been to Wu Mountain a few times before, and after passing through this mist, it is a barren mountain, is there any terrible secret hidden in it?

The white mist in the air slowly thinned out, and through it they could faintly see the rocks dozens of meters ahead, and they were about to walk out.

"Okay, Mr. Chu, just send it here, we can walk the rest of the way ourselves, thank you for your hard work, you can go back first." Gao Xiang didn't know when he walked up to him and stopped him.

Everyone stopped.
