339 Earthen pits

At this time, in the desert iron forest.

Carly walked ahead, with Isabella and Peggy following behind her.

Carly turned back and said to Peggy:

"I didn't expect you to come with me."

"No way," Peggy said helplessly, covering her mouth, "who told you that you were the only one to do such a thing?" ā€

Carly also covered her mouth and smiled:

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"I'm almost ......throwing up," Peggy gasped, "it's all Wade's fault, his curiosity is contagious to you." ā€

"Haha......"

Carly burst out laughing.

"And laughing," Peggy said dissatisfiedly, "it stinks, I hate you to death!" ā€

Carly snickered and waved her hand, and then she leaned over a desert iron tree, but just as she was about to straighten up, her feet suddenly slipped.

No one thought that behind the desert iron tree would be a downward dirt slope.

"Ahh

Carly let out a scream, lost her balance, and threw herself forward, sliding down the dirt slope.

"Carly!"

Peggy and Isabella hurriedly drilled past the Iron Tree, but immediately after, they were stunned and frightened by the scene in front of them.

I saw that under the dirt slope was a pit the size of a swimming pool, which was full of animal carcasses and remains, and the strong stench kept wafting up from the dirt pit, which not only made people sick, but also stinged the eyes.

Carly slid down the ramp into the dirt pit, her hands digging into the dark red mud, and she looked up in a panic to see bones and rotting flesh in front of her.

Isabella and Peggy, walking down the dirt slope, shouted as Peggy walked:

"Carly, are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Carly shouted in front of the dirt pit, "help me, hurry up and pull me up!" ā€

Peggy stood halfway up the ramp and looked at the dirt pit, the bones inside scared her, and she was a little afraid to go on.

Peggy hesitated, turned her head, and shouted in the direction of the campground:

"Come, something's wrong, come here, Carly has an accident! Hurry up! ā€

Isabella endured the stench and the horrific scene in front of her as she slowly rubbed down the ramp, reaching out and grabbing Carly's calf to pull her up from the edge of the pit.

"Ahh Yes! ā€

Carly pushed the mud and tried to stand up, but the mud was too soft, which made her arm pierce deeper, and the splash of mud hit her face with red blood.

Isabella tried to pull Carly up, but her strength was too small, and Carly kept moving, trying several times, and almost brought her into the dirt pit as well.

The excessive nervousness caused Carly to panic, and she shouted hysterically:

"Wade! Save me! Nick save me! ā€

At this time, Nick, who heard Peggy's shout, finally arrived, and the three of them were in a tense situation just now, but Peggy's cry for help made them wake up at once.

Nick and Wade ignored the horror in front of them and hurriedly slid down the dirt slope and pulled Carly up with Isabella, while Dawn climbed up the dirt slope with Peggy in his arms.

Eventually, they helped Carly up the dirt slope.

Isabella gasped for breath and stole a glance back at the pit full of animal carcasses, and for a moment, she felt like her stomach was turning upside down.

Wade helped Carly to her feet and asked anxiously:

"Honey, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I'm fine, I'm scared to death."

Carly hugged Wade's arm tightly, and she hadn't recovered from the fright.

After a long while, they stood on the dirt slope and looked at the dirt pit below, and everyone gasped, the sight before them was too terrifying.

Nick gasped and pointed to the dirt pit below.

"It's a pit of dead animals."

Wade nodded, and he said:

"That's the smell from last night."

"Definitely."

Nick nodded.

Dawn asked:

"Who did this?"

"I don't know." Wade shook his head, then looked at Carly, "Honey, are you still ordering now?" ā€

"Uh-huh," Carly took a deep breath and held up her hands, her arms already stained bright red by the mud, "I—I need to wash. ā€

"I have water here,"

Peggy, who was on the side, hurriedly took out a small bottle of drinking water from her pocket.

"Great, I can't take it anymore."

Carly grabbed the water bottle and walked to the side to rinse her arms.

Nick hunched his waist and stared at the pit of animal corpses below.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of engines, and a truck was seen driving out of the path in the desert iron forest towards the animal carcass.

Wade looked at the approaching truck and asked:

"Is it last night's truck?"

Nick shook his head as he stared at the approaching truck.

"Probably not, the lights are good."

Isabella stood aside and looked at the truck, but she felt that it was similar to last night's truck, but she didn't dare to confirm it.

The truck slowly reverses against the pit of the dead animals, and then stops at the edge of the pit. A thin middle-aged man jumped out of the truck, walked to the back of the truck, boarded the carcass, grabbed the carcass of the animals in the car, threw it hard, and threw it into the corpse pit.

Wade watched the trucker's actions, licked his lips, and shouted:

"Hey, you threw the body here?"

The truck driver looked up, and seemed to have just noticed that there were people on the dirt slope, and he paused for a moment, and replied:

"Yes, there are always poachers around here, and they often kill animals, and then they don't care, so I will throw the animals they killed here, and the province will attract other fierce beasts."

"I see."

Wade nodded.

The truck driver looked at Wade, smiled, and asked:

"What do you guys do?"

"We're Sam's Country, we're traveling to Mexico, and we camped around here last night."

"Oh, oh." The truck driver nodded, gave a thumbs up, and boasted, "It's worthy of Sam's country, it's so bold." ā€

"How?" Wade was surprised and asked, "Is it dangerous around here?" ā€

"It's not dangerous," the truck driver laughed, "and the real danger is in the big cities, where there are often gangsters, and the gangsters don't look down on this kind of place." ā€

"We know."

Wade nodded, indicating that he understood the situation in Mexico.

Isabella dared to look at the animal corpse pit, and suddenly, a piece of the corpse in the corpse pit caught her attention, she looked closely, her heart was shocked, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Nick noticed Isabella's strange appearance and hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong? What do you see? ā€

"Hands, hands!" Isabella pointed to the pit of animal corpses and shuddered, "I see human hands inside." ā€

"Manpower?"

The others were also shocked at the same time, and hurriedly looked at the animal corpse pit, and after some searching, in the corpse pit, there was really a human hand sticking out of the mud.

This startled everyone, and everyone but Nick retreated.

Nick pointed to the human hand in the mud and asked the truck driver:

"What's that?"

The trucker glanced at where Nick was pointing and smiled:

"That's what you say......"

As he spoke, he jumped out of the truck, stepped on the carcass of the animal, jumped next to the human hand, bent down and grabbed the human hand with both hands, twisted and pulled it up.

The trucker's actions made Nick feel his scalp tingle and his back cold.

Nick quietly reached behind his back and grasped the pistol.

"It's fake." The truck driver raised his hand, grinning and showing his yellow teeth, and he smiled and said, "This is what I found on the side of the road a few days ago, not real hands, don't be afraid." ā€

As he spoke, he turned his hands around again so that they could see the metal joints on their wrists.

"Oh! Oh, my God! ā€

Even with a prosthetic hand, Carly and Peggy couldn't stand it, and the two quickly turned around.

The truck driver casually walked the man into the grave, then jumped out of the grave and walked towards the truck, apparently to get out of here.

Seeing this, Wade hurriedly asked:

"Excuse me, is there a gas station nearby?"

"Gasoline?" The truck driver turned his head, "I have a spare barrel of gasoline to sell to you." ā€

"No," Wade shook his head, "my car's engine belt is broken, and I want to buy a new one." ā€

"Huh?" The truck driver said, "The nearest gas station is in the small town of Ampalas, but it's 15 miles away." ā€

When Carly heard Wade's words, Carly hurriedly asked:

"Wade, what's wrong with the car?"

"It's nothing, it's just broken."

Wade shrugged.

Dalton said:

"Or we'll squeeze into a car and go to a nearby big city."

"No," Wade said, shaking his head, "I don't want to leave the car here, what if last night's guy comes back?" ā€

With that, he glanced at Nick.

Dorton sighed helplessly, and he asked:

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to buy a belt." Wade looked at the truck driver, and he shouted, "Can you give me a ride?" ā€

"Take you,......" the truck driver thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I can send you there." ā€

Dao Dun hurriedly said:

"We can send you there too."

"I don't want to be his car."

Wade replied quietly.

"Hey......"

Dalton sighed, the other car belonged to Carly's brother, and what had just happened made Wade feel guilty.

When Carly heard that her boyfriend was going to town, she hurriedly said:

"I'll go with you too."

Peggy persuaded:

"Honey, you don't have to go, let Daoton go with him."

"It's okay," Carly shook her head, gesturing to the blood stains on her body, "I want to find a place to wash." ā€

"Okay."

Peggy shrugged, she knew that if it was her, she would not be able to stand the smell of her body.

Nick looked at Carly and frowned, but he didn't say anything to stop it.

Isabella heard that Wade was going to town, thought for a moment, and asked softly:

"Can I go with you?"

"You're going?"

Wade looked at Isabella puzzled.

"I want to wait for someone to pick me up in the town."

Isabella thought it would be better for her not to go to Tijuana with Carly and the others, after all, the Sam's Country military and the federal police should be looking for her now.

She decides that going to the town and finding a pay phone and having the houseguard pick her up may be the right choice.

Wade looked at Carly, and after getting Carly's consent, he nodded and said to Isabella:

"Alright, let's go to the town of Ampalas together."
