Chapter 229: The Entrance to Hell
The road in this stone forest is narrow and crooked, walking in it, you can see all the towering stalagmites, the cliffs are frequent, and the bullet marks on the surface of the stones along the way, as well as the bullet casings scattered all over the ground, add a few points of deep and terrifying feeling out of thin air, making people feel extremely depressed.
The three of them walked for a while, the stone forest became deeper and deeper, so deep that even the sun in the sky could not be seen, and, after walking for a while, a small open space suddenly appeared in front, around the clearing, there were seven or eight forks formed by stone cracks, and there were many bullet shells in the open space, and the surrounding stalagmite stone pillars and stone cliffs were even more bullet marks, which made people shocking.
Mu Siqing looked at the piles of bullet casings on the ground, bent down to pick one up, held it in his hand, stared at the bullet casing, and said to himself: "What are they shooting?" β
Qiao Yanxue and the fat man were also scratching their heads and cheeks, and they really couldn't figure out what was going on.
The fat man saw that the three of them were guessing, and he made the atmosphere depressing, and immediately squeezed out a smiling face, laughed dryly, and said: "It's not that the two gangs are on fire, they will be working together to fight alien monsters, hehe...... Don't say it, the monsters in the blockbuster movie are all in such scenes......"
As soon as the fat man said this, he immediately attracted countless eyes from the three of them.
Xu Dong glared, pointed at the fat man and scolded: "Wang Fatty, you have watched too many horror movies, have you been scared stupid, right, nonsense." β
Mu Siqing said: "My mind is full of something, we are discussing our future, don't intervene if you don't understand!" β
Qiao Yanxue threw a sentence: "It's not ...... serious."
Mu Siqing and Xu Dong's accusations, the fat man naturally didn't take it to heart, but with Qiao Yanxue's dissatisfaction, the fat man hurriedly blushed and wanted to explain to Qiao Yanxue.
It's just that the fat man's words haven't come out yet, Qiao Yanxue looked at the compass in her hand, and suddenly said, "Oops, Sister Mu, we, we're in trouble." β
"What's going on?" Mu Siqing asked with a frown.
"The magnetic field in here is abnormal, the compass doesn't work, we may be lost!" Qiao Yanxue almost bit her lip and said.
"Lost?" The atmosphere that was originally very oppressive almost froze.
Mu Siqing and Xu Dong both looked at the watch-style compass on Qiao Yanxue's wrist, and saw that as Qiao Yanxue said, the pointer was spinning wildly.
The compass on Mu Siqing's police watch also kept shaking his head, and he couldn't stop at all, no matter which direction he was aiming at, it was the same.
Here, the compass is out of order!
The fat guy smiled and said: "Without the compass in his hand, it's not a big problem, there is the sun in the sky during the day, and the moon and stars in the sky at night, these natural compasses, but no magnetic field can affect them." β
Xu Dong looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and said angrily: "Are you going to climb to the stalagmite to see the sun, or are you going to wait until the evening to leave?" β
The fat man smiled and said, "Brother Dong, don't say it, even if I can't see the direction of the sun now, I still have a secret weapon in my hand, which will definitely allow us to walk out of this stone forest accurately." β
As soon as they heard that the fat man had a secret weapon, Mu Siqing and Qiao Yanxue set their eyes on the fat man together, and asked in unison, "What secret weapon do you have?" β
The fat man stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Dong, and said with a smile: "His nose is much better than a compass, as long as he lies on the ground and smells it, everything will be solved." β
A trace of doubt flashed in Mu Siqing's eyes, but a glimmer of hope flashed in Qiao Yanxue's eyes, and the two of them turned their heads to Xu Dong together.
As soon as he heard the fat man say that he had a "secret weapon", Xu Dong guessed that most of what the fat man was thinking was his own nose, but how powerful his nose was, Xu Dong knew very well that he relied on his own nose to find his way, and it would not be much different from letting himself close his eyes and walking!
It's just that since the fat guy said it, Xu Dong can't do it, and it's really hard to fool the past.
Xu Dong was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "My nose, up to now, is also not good!" β
"Ah......h
Mu Siqing also looked at Xu Dong with suspicion.
Xu Dong, who has always been known for his sensitive nose, will his nose be difficult at a critical time?
Xu Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't look at me like that, there are traces of people walking here everywhere, how do I know that person has walked out, and he has reached that destination all the way!" Also, those people are running around in the stone forest, even if I think there is a smell, maybe he walked around the stone forest, and in the end he didn't go out himself? β
It's not Xu Dong's nose, but with Xu Dong's nose, he can't determine which direction to take correctly, and there are seven or eight gaps in the road ahead, maybe he will go bad, and he may never reach that river!
As soon as Xu Dong said this, the three of them all nodded--the sense of smell is sensitive, and it is only one aspect of ability, and it is definitely not a superpower that can be tried and tested at will!
Seeing that the three of them not only "understood", but also comforted themselves, Xu Dong finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, after fooling the three of them, Xu Dong did not seem easy, after all, now there is still a need to choose a way forward, otherwise everyone can only go back.
The four of them were silent for a moment, and Xu Dong looked up and asked Mu Siqing: "In the event of a shootout, generally speaking, what kind of expressions will people have......?"
Xu Dong asked this question with a wide range of coverage, and if he wanted to answer it, it could only be relatively general, so Xu Dong immediately explained: "I mean, in the battle, once you are defeated and retreated, and when you are in pursuit, what kind of situation will it be? β
"Damn, this is not simple, the defeated, the defeat is like a mountain, it is bound to be like a flood, a thousand miles, the victory, naturally the fighting spirit is high, take advantage of the victory to pursue, such a simple situation, Brother Dong, you can't imagine it." The fat man said with a smug look.
Mu Siqing pondered Xu Dong's meaning, thought for a long time, and then said: "You mean, we should go to the road with the most people now!" β
Qiao Yanxue also nodded and said: "If the two groups of people in the fight are all for the same purpose, the defeated people are likely to retreat to the destination, and the victorious ones will not be mentioned." β
Speaking of which, the fat man finally understood, since he couldn't find the direction, but there were many people walking in front of him, he followed the path that the most people had walked.
"Damn, it's that simple!" The fat man had a look of regret on his face, how could such a simple method not be imagined by himself.
Mu Siqing glanced at the fat man, checked the gap fork a little, pointed to a fork with bullet marks on the left, and said: "The bullet marks in this fork are a lot denser, it should be that there are more people going here, so let's take this one." β
Saying that, Mu Siqing was the first to get into this narrow fork in the road.
followed by Xu Dong, the fat man, and finally Qiao Yanxue.
Along this fork in the road, I walked zigzag for nearly half an hour, and the bullet marks on the stone walls on both sides gradually thinned out, and it seemed that if it wasn't for the lack of ammunition, it should be that the people who arrived here might be gradually getting rid of the danger, and the danger was small, so there was no need to waste more bullets.
However, to the surprise of the four people, when the fork in the road reached a slightly wider place, several people found the body in the stone forest for the first time!
The human corpse, to be precise, is a very complete skeleton, clothing, backpacks and even weapons are very complete, but the corpse has become a white skeleton, and, looking at the clothes and bones, there are no bullet holes or traces of poisoning.
Facing such a skeleton where the cause of death could not be seen, Xu Dong and the others all felt their scalps tingle.
Isn't it strange that there were dense bullet holes before, and not a single dead person was seen in the most tragic place of the fighting, but here, the danger is significantly reduced, and instead there are dead bodies, isn't it weird?
Mu Siqing picked up a pistol next to the skeleton, took off the magazine, and looked at the bullets inside, the bullets in the magazine were still full, and there were no bullets in the chamber, indicating that this person had just been replaced with bullets, and he was not ready to shoot at all, so he suddenly died of death.
Mu Siqing put the gun into his backpack, and looked through this person's backpack again, and found two empty magazines and forty rounds of ammunition from it.
Mu Siqing only brought one of the few guns that fought wolves in the camp before, and the ammunition was insufficient, so there were only a few bullets left, and now, when he found that there were guns and ammunition, Mu Siqing naturally would not let it go.
In this stone forest, there is an unspeakable danger, with a gun in hand, the courage will be much greater, at least, when the danger comes, there is a gun in the hand, there is a chance to fight.
After packing up the guns and bullets, Mu Siqing continued to give the order to set off.
It's just that the four of them went all the way forward, but more and more people died on the road, and in the end, they were almost three or three, two by two, a pile, and the death was all the kind of death without exception, with complete clothes but completely missing muscles.
This kind of death is so weird that several people can't help but think of a scene in a Hollywood horror blockbuster, where the devil or aliens use incredible means to eat the muscles of these people.
After walking for less than an hour, there were skeletons encountered by individuals, not to mention about twenty bodies.
The place where Xu Dong and the fat man have seen the most bones is in the big pit where the treasure was built for the Ma warlord, where there are two or three hundred skeletons, but at that time, Xu Dong and the fat man did not feel much horror, and the fear of Cheng DΓΉ was far inferior to the twenty or so skeletons that he encountered along the way.
In the eyes of Xu Dong and others, this place is almost the "entrance to hell", and only the "entrance to hell" has such a terrifying and weird scene.
