As soon as Lance came to his senses, his eyes were stimulated by the intense light shining through his eyelids, and at the same time, he felt a soft, wet thing rubbing against his cheeks, accompanied by a whining sound.

opened his eyes slightly, but was stabbed by the sun, Lance involuntarily stretched out his hand to block the sun's rays, and at the same time Lance also felt strange, there will be sunlight underground?

Seeing Lance wake up, Xiaonuo, who had been lying next to Lance with his ears hanging down, immediately became happy, and let out a whining sound in his throat like a puppy when he was scared, while sticking out his little tongue to lick the other party's cheeks.

"Huh? It's Xiaonuo, okay, okay, stop. After Lance saw the person holding him clearly, he smiled slightly, pushed away Xiao Nuo who was holding him, and then touched Xiao Nuo's head, and then Lance looked up and looked around.

sky, dark blue; sun, golden; clouds, snow-white; Forest, green; On one side is a river that flows endlessly.

"Escaped??" Lance felt a little incredible, and after falling down the corridor, he came to his senses again and came directly to the ground? Where is this? Where should we go now?

After a moment of silence, Lance stood up and said to Arnold. "Arnold, let's go. Go find someone else. ”

Arnold obediently tugged at the corner of Lance's clothes, and the two walked upstream along the long river, hoping to find their lost companion.

……

"Woo~" Lance hugged Xiao Nuo in his arms, and the two curled up in a tree hollow to avoid the sudden rainstorm in the forest.

For three days, the two men who searched along the riverbank found nothing, but fortunately, the world on earth was significantly safer than underground, there was no danger, and food was plentiful.

After three days, the two did not starve, but each time they were full, if they continued like this and set up a shelter, Lance was sure that the two of them could survive until the end of the mission, but Lance decided that it was necessary to find someone else.

Although it has been safe here for the past three days, if something unexpected suddenly happens, and some dangerous creatures attack, Lansga, who has only a gun in his hand, has no combat power, and he can only be slaughtered.

The pouring rain outside the tree hole slowly stopped, and Lance decided to set off, leaving the river and exploring the distance.

As soon as the two of them climbed out of the tree hole, they bumped into several soaking wet people. When they saw each other, both sides grabbed their weapons and became vigilant.

"Hey, brother, did you wake up and find yourself here?" Four people, both men and women, all armed with wooden sticks and covered in tattered clothes, one of them, who seemed to be the leader, asked.

At this time, Lance's pistol was hidden in his arms, and several people did not know that he had a gun in his arms. Hearing the leader speak, Lance immediately determined that the other party was someone else's follower, or a newcomer who had been abandoned by the old man.

"Yes, that's right, we've been here since we woke up a dozen days ago, but the two of us were separated from the big army." Lance responded.

"Oh, our own people, all our own people, we also found out that we suddenly came here ten days ago." After hearing Lance's words, the leader relaxed his vigilance, waved his hand to let everyone else put away their sticks, and then said to Lance: "I said brother should you have a gang, it's not easy to survive here, and there are only a few of us who are dead now." Alas, this forest is really weird. ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Lance smiled and pushed his glasses.

There were four people on the other side, three men and one woman, Lance and Xiaonuo followed the four of them to a clearing and built a campfire.

Later, in a conversation with a few people, Lance understood the situation of the other party, and sure enough, these people were newcomers abandoned by the old man, and after sobering up, more than a dozen people did not know what the situation was, and a group of people began to struggle to survive in this forest, looking for food, avoiding beasts and various monsters, and there were only a few people who died in ten days.

When the other party asked about Lance's situation, he was cleverly avoided by Lance, only saying that he also woke up and found it here, and Qiantian and the army were separated, and after talking, the two sides decided to go on the road together to find out if there were people here.

……

A scream came from the forest, and the woman who went to the toilet ran back with a frightened face, and the few people who were sitting on the spot and resting immediately stood up.

"What did you send?!" Looking at the panicked woman, the leader asked with a stern face.

"So many dead people! So many dead people! It's all hanging on the tree!! The woman's voice trembled, and her eyes were full of horror.

Everyone looked at each other and walked towards the forest together, and when they came to the place where the woman was pointing, they gasped at the sight before them.

In the dim forest, as far as the eye could see, there was a corpse skeleton hanging from almost every tree. The bodies in the vicinity were of varying shapes, some were disemboweled, some had twisted limbs and 180 spins of their necks, some had only half of their bodies left, and some were covered in blisters, all heavily decomposed, full of maggots and flies. Looking into the forest, there are more skeletons.

A gust of wind blew, and several people only felt creepy, cold hairs standing on end, and a cold feeling hit their whole bodies. A rancid smell irritated everyone's nostrils, coupled with the tragic corpse, finally someone couldn't hold back anymore, ran to the side and vomited.

Xiaonuo pinched her nose desperately, and the pungent rancid smell was like a biobomb to her.

Lance was pale in the face, walking for so many days without seeing a human figure, but now such a corpse forest suddenly appeared, weird, too weird.

Under a few puzzled glances, Lance took a step into the forest, carefully examined the corpses on the trees, and speculated from the many traces.

"More than eighty percent of the corpses have become skeletons, and the other corpses look at the decay, there is a clear time break, it is certain that it is not a mass massacre, but a small batch of people who were killed, and then hung here, judging from the clothes of the deceased, there are all kinds of people, these people ...... Aren't they all believers...... And it seems that they were all tortured to death. It should be a human, or a humanoid creature. ”

After walking some distance, Lance retreated, lowered his head with a gloomy face, and continued to meditate with his right hand on his chin.

"Judging from the numbers, it is impossible for one person to commit the crime, but they are all a gang, and they have abundant torture tools in their hands. As for hanging the corpses here, either the murderers are all perverts and the corpses are hung here as a trophy memento, or the murderers hate the believers...... It may also be a special custom......"

"It's not safe here, the latest body looks like it's more than ten days ago, and the killer probably lives nearby, so we need to get out of here. Hide our whereabouts. Lance said to the others, and then immediately received everyone's approval, and the group immediately set out on the road without resting, trying to escape from the corpse forest.

It wasn't until night fell that a few people stopped, and it was not a wise choice to rush at night, just when everyone was about to set up camp and make a fire, Xiao Nuo, who was full of body, ran back from the front and shouted at everyone: "There is fire and smoke ahead!" ”

Hearing Xiao Nuo's words, several people were shocked, there was fire and smoke, most of them were people! Several people immediately ran forward with Xiao Nuo.

After turning over a mound, a brightly lit and smoking town on a plain came into the sight of several people......
