Chapter 40: Morning Exercises

I was too tired to toss, I had a good night's sleep, and I slept in the dark.

She dreamed that she had returned to her civilized society, to be a good senior in high school with excellent grades and good popularity, and that her dreams were full of flowers, happiness and health, and that there were no skeletons and perverts.

So, when she was choked awake, it was understandable to let out a scream, right?

"Good morning, beautiful young lady, a new day is about to begin, and I hope you will always have the strength to scream like this. Bai Hengyuan sat on the edge of her bed, calm and relaxed, smiling brightly, the appearance of a handsome boy who was cynical - if you ignored his hand holding her neck.

Pinch and pinch and pinch and pinch

Gu Lian was really surprised.

"You ought to be a little more vigilant, if I were an enemy, you would have died a hundred and one times in one morning. Bai Hengyuan bent down and gently brushed her hair scattered on the pillow, said lightly, and then got up and left.

"Five minutes, pack yourself and go out for a run. ”

Gu Lian was stunned for a moment, touched her hair, quickly gathered her mind, jumped up and washed quickly, her hair was too late to comb, so she could only tie it up casually, and hurriedly jumped out of the car.

It was still early in the morning, and a thin mist covered the surroundings, and the moisture soaked the clothes. Take a deep breath and the cool air enters your lungs, and the unique smell of the morning is refreshing.

But it's weird after all.

There were no insects and birds, only the sound of the wind, the sound of leaves. The sound of the dead branches stepping on the ground made a clicking sound, and the silence and emptiness around it became more and more empty.

How does an ecosystem without the support of insects and birds, an environment with such fragile species diversity, support the flourishing of trees and forests?

Gu Lian felt incredible.

Sometimes, she wonders, is this really the end of the world? Is it really not a boring dream of hers? Maybe the dream she had in the morning was real, and now what she thought was real was just a dream. Zhuang Sheng Mengdie, true is also false, false is also true, will she also fall into this abnormal mental state?

But Bai Hengyuan always had a way to make her put away her illusions in an instant.

"There's a river over there, just walk along the trail, 10,000 meters back and forth, you know our meal, don't expect us to leave you food." Bai Hengyuan said with a smile.

Oh leak!

Gu Lian pulled her legs and ran.

Knowledge is power?

The path Bai Hengyuan chose for her was very tricky, and she needed to cross the woods. Branches, shrubs, and thorns blocked her path, and the thick, wet layer of fallen leaves beneath her feet greatly slowed her speed. Her agility and strength were completely inexerted, she protected her face, looked at her feet, and kept her balance, and just like that, there were still traces of blood on her bare arms.

The most deplorable thing is that when she first went in, there was still a way to go, but the further she went, the thinner the road became, and in the end she was hidden in the woods, without a trace, she needed to look up at the sky at all times, set a position, maintain a good sense of direction in her mind, and dare not be distracted.

As long as she is distracted, she will not be able to recognize who is who these trees, and she will be enough to go back.

She ran through the woods recklessly, and when she rushed out, her clothes were torn, wisps, blood flowing, and she was embarrassed.

She gasped for breath and thanked the gods and Buddhas for not letting her hang in the woods.

When she had taken a breath, she walked to the river, took a handful of water, lowered her head and tasted it, and couldn't help but smile sweetly. It's fresh and natural, with the purity of washing away bloody dirt.

There was a clicking sound behind him.

She didn't care, thinking that some little animal had stepped on a branch.

But soon, she thought of something, her body stiffened, and she looked at the river, and a white miserable skeleton looked at her quietly, and her thin arm was raised high, aimed at the back of her head.

Sting!

This is the sound of a skeleton poking into the ground.

At the last moment, she rolled on the spot and dodged its attack. She took a few steps back in a panic, and looked left and right at the same time, fortunately, there was only this one. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the skeletons struck at her stiffly and directly, dodging again and again, knowing that she couldn't be scratched by their fingers.

Bai Hengyuan told her that if the fingertips of the skeleton cut through her skin, it would quickly derive a poison, causing normal people to quickly die, decay, and be reborn into a white bone.

But she doesn't have any weapons!

Gu Lian only had one gun, but she didn't have the marksmanship to hit it in the neck, and she couldn't use the gun as a brick, so she didn't have the slightest confidence in close combat.

She could only keep backing away, and in a short time she was at the edge of the woods.

But she's hiding in this state, and she won't be able to find her way back.

A gust of wind hit, and there was no time to think about it, Gu Lian immediately made a decision, and after dodging its attack through the stump, she quickly turned around and ran quickly with her back to it.

It turns out that although the skeleton looks dull and dull, it does have intelligence and perseverance.

Whenever Gu Lian thought it was not there and slowed down her pace to take a breath, it creaked behind her, unyielding.

How did it find her?

Doubts flashed through her mind quickly, and she took out Xiao Zuo and fired a few random shots into the sky. Will they be able to find her? I hope she can only gamble, betting that Bai Hengyuan is not so ruthless, and really let her run alone. If someone follows her and finds out that she hasn't returned, they will surely hear her gunshot.

At the same time, she had doubts in her mind. She remembered that they had said that it was unusual for a single skeleton to move, and that it was usually only done by scouts, which meant that there would be a skull nest not far away.

Do they know about her existence?

And why is it in hot pursuit?

All the questions were answered when the woods heard the sound of the rope.

To her left, back, and right, skeletons gradually appeared, and after a cursory sweep, there were dozens of them, and the number was still increasing. I see...... It's not that the skeleton has been following her, it's the different skeletons that communicate with each other in some way, constantly exchanging and following her, and finally forming an encirclement!

Seeing them getting closer and closer, Gu Lian's eyes were burning. She tensed and looked around, and in the shrinking envelope, there was always a way to live.

Pocket tactics?

Normally, in this case, there is nothing happy ahead. But now in this situation, whether you are dead or alive, you can only go by yourself.

She took a deep breath and turned her head forward, but the farther she went, the more her instincts told her that something wasn't right. The creature instinct from the creature constantly reminds her that there is danger ahead!

She finally stopped.

There was a tiger in front and a wolf in the back, and she broke out in a cold sweat. Without thinking too much, she took out her gun and tentatively shot it over the ground. Naturally, it didn't work, and there were no skeletons or strange creatures in front of her that she expected.

Rather, there was a dead silence ahead.

Strange dead silence.

Gu Lian turned her head to observe the skeletons, and sensitively noticed that they seemed to be carefully avoiding the area, acting with caution and panic.

Maybe she was too nervous, or maybe her arm that was still sore and numb couldn't be controlled, and her fingers unconsciously pulled the trigger, once, twice, three times......

The vibration of the revolver woke Gu Lian up, and it also made the skeletons move. Just when Gu Lian was secretly annoyed, there was a boom, a terrible loud noise, and she felt a heat wave hit her with the impact, and in a panic, she subconsciously rolled along this heat wave, hiding behind a tree, and lying on her stomach firmly.

Boom! Boom!

The ground was trembling, and the branches fell uncontrollably, smashing against her back, and she snorted, biting her lip and holding back. There was a rattling sound beside her, and she subconsciously looked over, and the skeleton was hit by the heat wave, hitting the tree, and turning into white bones. Some were particularly unlucky, hitting their necks directly, and their heads flew out, GAMEOVER.

Amitabha.

Gu Lian muttered, and just after the heavy object smashed on her back, she fainted uncontrollably.

Hey, Bai Hengyuan, Fan Ziling, Zheng Yihao...... Whoever it is, don't forget to look for me......

I don't want to die in a pile of skeletons.

A few minutes later, Bai Hengyuan and Chen Zhi, who were attracted by the huge movement, appeared in the woods. The two quickly scanned the surroundings, grasped the situation, and searched for Gu Lian's traces.

Turning over and over in the pile of white bones, he couldn't find her figure, Bai Hengyuan panicked in his heart, and a guess couldn't help but come to mind.

Could it be, could it be that she has been skeletoned......

He took a low breath, panicking in his heart, and suddenly heard Chen Zhi's calm voice sound: "Here!"
