Chapter 5: Misty Ruins 1 (Part II)

The sun does not rise until after seven o'clock, the sunlight dispels the fog, and visibility improves and it is easier to plan for the next step.

Mr. Min felt very tired, and the feeling he had in the haunted forest yesterday reappeared, and it became even more powerful, he lay on the side of the fire and almost fell asleep until Wang Xingguo woke him up.

"What time is it?" Mr. Min asked, knocking his dazed head.

"It's about 8 o'clock." Wang Xingguo replied that the sky was actually bright at 7 o'clock, but the fog did not disperse for a long time, and at this time, with the sun, the fog accelerated to disperse, and the visibility of less than ten meters last night increased to dozens of meters.

"Whatever the situation, we must evacuate by three o'clock in the afternoon." Wang Xingguo looked at the speed at which the fog dissipated, and felt that the fog might not be completely dispersed before noon, and if the sunlight began to weaken after three o'clock in the afternoon, the fog would slowly become thicker again, so he decided to evacuate before that anyway, and to go out of the ghost gate before dark.

Mr. Min didn't seem to hear it, and he stood up with some mechanical movements.

The men walked down the gentle slope for a while, and the path here was like a spider's web, and it was as if they had entered a great labyrinth, some of which were taller than a person's head, and some of which were knee-high.

"What the hell......" Chen Badai muttered, his head starting to get dizzy again.

Wang Xingguo felt that this huge basin seemed to have no bottom, and the further down he went, the sweeter the smell in the air became heavier, and the sour and rotten smell began to thicken.

Although Wang Xingguo is trying his best to maintain the forward line, but it is still inevitable to go around in the maze, a few hours have passed, in fact, they have not gone far at all, although the fog slowly dissipates under the sunlight, but it is not as much as Wang Xingguo imagined that the visibility has increased to one or two kilometers, he still can't see the huge landmark on the top of the coffin, he can only estimate that it is located on his left rear side, if Wang Xingguo's feeling is not wrong, then the ghost gate should be on his right rear side, Now it's about a little bit five kilometers away from the Ghost Gate Pass.

Wang Xingguo's calculation of this conclusion made him also startled, according to common sense, it should not be so close, but Wang Xingguo knew that since he walked into this maze, he had turned several corners, so he should not have made a mistake in his calculations, but all the way over, he found nothing, no dead people, not even any traces of dead people, and there were no creatures here, even the common grasshoppers and crickets in the grass did not see one, the whole place was like a death basin, except for these few trespassers. There is no living thing!

At this time, Wang Xingguo felt that he should retreat, and at this rate of advancement, there should be no problem in withdrawing from the ghost gate before dark.

The terrain here is relatively flat, Wang Xingguo just changed the column to a horizontal team, which can increase the search range, Wang Xingguo felt that the momentum in the team had dropped to the lowest point, Mr. Min had not spoken for several hours, and he was indifferent to some of the exchanges between himself and Chen Badai, which was a precursor to a mental breakdown, if he didn't find an excitement point to stimulate him, Wang Xingguo didn't know how long he could last.

Wang Xingguo felt that the danger was slowly approaching, and it was time to order the evacuation, he was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard Chen Badai, who was walking on the other side, exclaiming: "Oops......"

"What's wrong with the bare eggs?" Wang Xingguo asked.

"Oh my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Chen Badai didn't answer him, and let out a series of exclamations.

Wang Xingguo looked around and widened his eyes!

What appeared before their eyes was a torn shroud! The way for the locals to collect the ancestors is very simple, wrap them in a bed sheet, tie them with a rope, and carry them to the Ghost Gate Pass, but there is nothing left near the Ghost Gate Pass, but on the gentle slope here, there are at least dozens of broken pieces of cloth of various colors, scattered on the grass and stones.
