Chapter 230: The Force of Nature
Obviously, it is still around noon, but there is a cold air on the backs of several people, as if this is really the entrance to hell, and if you go ahead, it will definitely be the Ghost Gate Pass and the Nai He Bridge...... Up to the eighteen floors of hell!
Even the fat man, who has always liked to talk nonsense and nonsense, at this time, also closed his mouth tightly, lest the slightest sound come out, which would attract black and white impermanence and ask for his life.
When he arrived at the place where the last person died, he was almost out of the stone forest, but Mu Siqing inadvertently found that this person's death method was very different.
This corpse leaned diagonally against the maroon stone wall, not like other people, all turned into white bones, in fact, this person's body muscles, extremely well preserved, and the time of death was not long, although the face was covered with blood, but it was still clear that this person should be a black-haired and yellow-skinned Asian.
Mu Siqing carefully examined for a while, and found that this person was still holding a pistol in his right hand, and there were bullet holes on both of his temples, which should have been shot by this person in desperation.
What puzzled Xu Dong, Fatty, and Qiao Yanxue was that if it was said that in the middle of the stone forest, there was a depressing atmosphere, a terrifying and terrifying environment, which made people nervous breakdowns, and the guide committed suicide by swallowing a gun, it was absolutely reasonable.
However, this is about to reach the exit of the stone forest, and even here you can see the bright sunshine outside the exit, this person actually committed suicide, this is reasonable?
If you want to commit suicide, you should die in the inside, and you only commit suicide when you get here, isn't there something wrong!
Mu Siqing said coldly: "When a person is suppressed to the point that he wants to commit suicide, his behavior is naturally a little incomprehensible, what's so strange about it." ”
The fat man asked tremblingly, "Can ...... However, he ...... The muscles on his body...... Didn't turn into bones, what's going on......"
What the hell is going on, Mu Siqing can't answer, because no one knows that the person who died here, everyone else has become white bones, but he is normal, of course, this "normal" refers only to this person's ** has not disappeared.
As usual, I looked through this person's backpack, in addition to guns and ammunition, food, supplies, and all kinds of utensils, Mu Siqing unexpectedly found a palm-sized plastic notebook.
Previously, I had also seen several deceased's backpacks, but Mu Siqing didn't find anything like a note, and now, finding this note should be said to be an unexpected surprise.
Perhaps, what dangers did more than 20 people in this line encounter, how did they die, and all the mysteries, but they are not necessarily said in this notebook!
Mu Siqing couldn't wait to open the notebook and look through the pages one by one.
The notes were taken two months ago, and after turning a few pages, Mu Siqing only knew that the owner of this notebook should be a person named "Shi Shifeng", and what was recorded was some accounts of living expenses, purchased items, cash expenditures, etc., and when the date came to ten days ago, all the accounts were suddenly interrupted.
According to Mu Siqing's guess, there should be eight people who came with this Shi Shifeng, and it should have been ten days ago, and they had already entered the Valley of Death.
From the diary, Mu Siqing only knows so much, of course, mainly because of time and environmental constraints, many things, Mu Siqing can't deduce them all at once.
After packing up the guns and ammunition of this Shi Shifeng, Mu Siqing turned around, glanced at the source of more than 20 people who had been killed in a heavy mood, and then ordered Xu Dong, Qiao Yanxue, and the fat man to leave this strange and inexplicable stone forest quickly.
Seeing that the exit was not far ahead, the fat man naturally couldn't wait to open the way in front.
It's just that the fat man hasn't walked a few steps, and suddenly there is an earth-shaking sound, like a scorched thunder falling to the ground, shaking the ground for a while, and several stalagmites and dangerous rocks are crackling and falling stones straight down.
"Earthquake ......," the fat man shouted, hugged his head, and got under a stone wall.
Xu Dong, Mu Siqing, and Qiao Yanxue were all a little stunned, and they hugged each other and drilled under the stone wall to avoid falling rocks.
This loud bang came and went quickly, and the earth only shook for a moment, and after that, there was no abnormality anymore.
But Mu Siqing and Qiao Yanxue knew that this would definitely not be an earthquake, listening to this sound, it seemed that a large amount of explosives had been detonated somewhere, but along the way, Xu Dong, Mu Siqing and others had not found any place at all, there were explosives that could cause such a huge sound and cause such a violent vibration.
Again, this is a mystery that there is no way to know!
The four of them were all lost and frightened, and froze for a moment, then they let out a shout and ran wildly towards the exit.
Outside the exit, there was a narrow valley depression, and several people almost ran into the depression for dozens of meters before they stopped, and then turned back to the stone forest just now.
It's just that when they turned their heads to look, several people were taken aback again, and they ran dozens of meters away, and the exit behind them was gone, and all they could see was a cliff more than 100 meters high, and a few people seemed to have come out of this cliff out of thin air.
The fat guy, when he came back to his senses, almost went back to see what was going on, but fortunately, Xu Dong yelled at the fat man, and the fat man didn't turn around and go back.
However, Mu Siqing quickly shouted again, this road should not be the way for his group to go to the river! Even, the compass was disturbed by the magnetic force in the stone forest, and it is still swinging sharply.
Therefore, now the big guy is in which direction of the river and where everyone is, Mu Siqing doesn't know.
The fat man looked up at the sky, trying to find out where the sun was, but unfortunately, at some point, from above the valley, clouds were rolling up, covering a large area of the sky, and he couldn't see where the sun was now.
Qiao Yanxue looked at those clouds, and her face turned pale.
In such a place, the presence of such clouds is almost a harbinger of disaster! Because this kind of cloud is called "thunderstorm cloud" in the eyes of people who often do outdoor activities, the appearance of this kind of cloud will not only pour heavy rain, but also extremely strong thunderstorms.
But the most terrifying thing is that this place is not far from the stone forest with strong magnetic properties, and if a thunderstorm occurs, there is no doubt that it will lead the electricity to the ground!
The fat man yelled, "We're all going to be struck by lightning, what should we do?" ”
Mu Siqing glanced at the surrounding terrain, not far from the opposite side, there was a mountain beam, if you can rush to the foot of the mountain before the thunderstorm occurs, you can basically avoid the thunderstorm.
Hearing Mu Siqing say this, Xu Dong shouted: "Fatty, what are you waiting for, run......"
While screaming, he spread his legs and ran wildly.
The four of them had just arrived at the foot of the opposite mountain beam, and they didn't even have time to take out the tent, when the rainstorm and thunder and lightning came as scheduled, and in a moment, the heavens and the earth were shrouded in a confused rainstorm, and the thunder and lightning were like whips that glowed, tearing open the sky without interruption, and kept beating the stone forest.
The four of them were so drenched by the torrential rain that they wrapped their tents around them, lay them on the ground, and then silently felt the violent power of nature.
It's just that the four of them couldn't and couldn't be silent for long, and the depression they just passed through began to accumulate water in it, and the water level rose extremely fast, in less than half an hour, the water level rose by almost one meter, obviously, the torrential rain was too violent, leading to a flash flood in the upper reaches of the valley.
However, the place where Xu Dong and the others stayed was only on the edge of the depression, and if the "position" was not transferred in time, it was very likely to be flooded.
As a last resort, the four of them had to lie on the ground, hold the tent, and slowly climb up the mountain beam.
However, to the surprise of Xu Dong, Mu Siqing and others, a few people had not taken a few steps up, Qiao Yanxue fell on the ground, suddenly with a pale face, and shouted in a panic: "Mountain flood...... Mudslide...... Run......"
However, Qiao Yanxue's voice, in the rumbling thunder, was inaudible at all.
Especially Xu Dong and Fat Man, who were a little farther away, almost just crawled on the ground, and turned a deaf ear to Qiao Yanxue's warnings.
Mu Siqing lay on the ground, only feeling the extremely slight vibration of the ground, and before he could figure out whether it was because of the lightning shock, or what was going on, he heard a small but continuous sound in his ears, although this sound was weak, but with the undulation of the sound, the ground could not stop shaking.
"Oops!" Mu Siqing also shouted, and now, Mu Siqing finally understood what was going on with this sound and shaking - the valley in this area is narrow, the mountains are extremely steep, and it is a little strange that such a violent rain washes away without mudslides.
Just this momentary delay, the sound became clearer, although it was not as loud as the thunder, but in Mu Siqing's ears, this sound was a thousand times more terrifying than a thunderstorm!
At this moment, Xu Dong was also aware, but Xu Dong was still very confused, not knowing what this sound meant would happen, and deliberately knelt on the ground to carefully feel the vibration caused by this sound.
Xu Dong was feeling it, and suddenly a person shouted into Xu Dong's ear: "Run, the mudslide is coming......"
"Debris flow ......" Xu Dong was stunned, in Xu Dong's impression, the word "debris flow" is just a very vague concept, because he has lived in Tongcheng since he was a child, not to mention seeing it with his own eyes, even if he listens to it, he has only heard it a few times from TV, so Xu Dong has no specific consideration for the power of debris flow.
Hearing that the mudslide was coming, Xu Dong not only did not feel frightened, but was a little curious - what did the legendary mudslide look like?
Seeing that Xu Dong almost didn't react, Mu Siqing was furious, got up, kicked Xu Dong's buttocks, and then pointed to the top of the mountain, and shouted: "Bend over...... Run up ......"
Xu Dongwei hesitated, and suddenly found that above the valley, a several meters high, yellow-brown "wall", with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, rushed towards him, and, at this moment, the thunder has become less deafening, and the ground does not stop beating, and the gravel and sand on the mountain beam also roll down with the beating of the ground, and the waterfall is like a "whoosh" straight down.
