Back to square one?

What's going on?

Everyone looked at each other, and they had survived in the forest for several months, and they had never encountered any sinister situation. But such a strange thing has never happened before, what is the situation of falling to the ground? What the hell?

Zhao Changping saw that everyone was restless, and in order to appease the army, he immediately shouted loudly: "Don't panic, the fog covers the forest, the field of vision is limited, and the surrounding terrain is so complicated, it is inevitable that you will not be able to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest and be misled by yourself." “

When they heard this, they stopped talking.

Du Tao walked up to Xiao Yu and asked, "This matter may not be so simple, I shouldn't be wrong about the direction." Zhao Changping They are scouts, and they should not make such a low-level mistake even in the foggy situation. Moreover, in just one hour, turning back to the same place is too incredible. ”

Xiao Yu's expression was indifferent, there was nothing unusual, just a pair of eyes staring at the white silence, and only after a moment did he say: "At this time, the fog can't be so thick, I'm afraid we are in trouble." ”

Du Tao took out a compass from the ring, and the pointer was shaking from side to side, "The compass is useless." ”

Zhao Changping said to everyone: "Don't stop, set off, and make marks along the way." ”

Without any hesitation, hundreds of people immediately set off and shuttled through the vast white mist again. This time, everyone was more and more careful, remembering the shape of the tree that had not been walked by, and leaving marks on it with daggers.

Less than an hour.

Four hundred people once again stood in the open space where the bonfire had been raised last night, and this time no one could calm down, and they began to talk one after another. Zhao Changping also realized the seriousness of the matter, but he had never seen this situation before, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhao Changping immediately discussed with Xiao Yu, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao Yu is not an omniscient person, so he had to shake his head and speak: "The situation is a bit complicated, but one thing is certain, this fog is not simple, the reason why we will get lost is that it has to do with it." Because there was no fog when we entered the valley, it was produced after a night. So if it's not a special environment and opportunity to spawn naturally, then it must be created by some monsters. ”

Zhao Changping frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If it is naturally generated, we only need to wait for the fog to dissipate by itself, but we don't have much food." If it's the latter, then it's hard to do, what kind of monster can create fog? Unheard. ”

Everyone stood still and thought about countermeasures.

Du Tao walked into the vast fog alone, took a step and looked back, and when he reached the ninth step, he looked back and saw that there was no trace of everyone at all. He immediately took a step back, looked back and could see everyone's silhouettes.

Du Tao silently wrote it down in his heart.

After a moment of discussion, some suggested sitting down and waiting for the fog to clear, others suggested cutting down all the trees, and in short, all kinds of methods came up. It is obviously not possible to sit still, as Zhao Changping said, there is not much food, more than 400 people, and the amount of food consumed every day is by no means a few. As for cutting down all the trees, this is certainly not realistic.

After thinking about it, no one has been able to get along with a workable way.

", there are really ghosts, the fat man never believes in evil." Wang Chao was bound by the dense fog and couldn't move for half a day, he was already annoyed, "Let's just go once, I don't believe in evil!" ”

Zhao Changping also had this intention, and immediately nodded and said: "It's okay, you will definitely not be able to go out if you sit still, and you may find other discoveries if you walk again." ”

At this time, Du Tao said: "I have a suggestion. The visible distance in the dense fog is about six meters, and we can pull the distance between people to this range, and in doing so, the line will be greatly lengthened, and if the people in front of us suddenly change direction and we don't know anything, the people behind should be able to spot. ”

Whether it works or not, is there a choice when there is no way?

Walking in the forest, it is taboo for the team to be greatly dispersed, but since entering the valley, everyone has not found any shadow of a monster, so according to Du Tao, more than 400 people lined up in a team, each group of four, and each group was more than six meters apart, so that the length of the team alone was more than one mile.

About an hour later.

The crowd returned to the open space again, and the ground was still black and gray, but it was covered with a layer of moisture.

The team kept straight ahead, did not change direction at all, and returned to square one.

Zhao Changping is completely convinced that the valley is absolutely unusual, there is no monster, such a big fog appears out of thin air, and it is inexplicably disorienting people, this kind of thing seems to only appear in some suspenseful adventure novels or movies.

Next, everyone tried to walk back again, but the result was the same, they couldn't cross the fog at all.

This misty valley is not large, and it can be passed through in a day's journey at most, but hundreds of people are trapped inside, and it is almost impossible to move an inch.

Zhao Changping's mind was a little confused, and he didn't know where to go when he had the ability to do it, this feeling was like punching at the water, and he didn't focus at all. Facing a few powerful first-order monsters, a happy battle is also better than the current situation.

Wang Chao is an impatient person, and now he is about to go crazy with the mist, and he wants to push the whole forest to the ground.

Xiao Yu calmly sat down in the open ground to retain his strength.

Is this a natural factor, or is there something behind it?

If it is a natural phenomenon, why does the fog last for half a day, or does it not feel like it is about to dissipate, and how long will it last?

If it is the magic of a monster, then why did this monster not show up for a long time, is it not the right time, or is it simply ready to starve everyone to death in the valley?

Let everyone get lost in it, will it have something to do with the layout of the valley itself?

There is no definite answer to everything.

Xiao Yu saw that everyone was panicked, and said, "Don't waste your physical strength, anyway, there will be no danger for a while." Let's sit down and wait a little while to see what happens. ”

Han Kexin also nodded in agreement: "Well, yes, maybe the fog will dissipate by itself, and scurrying around like a headless fly is not a way." ”

Zhao Changping sighed, "That's it." ”

Everyone sat down to rest in the place where they stayed last night, Wang Chao's patience was not good, but his brain was indeed a tendon, and within a few minutes of sitting down, he pulled Jin Shi to find someone to play poker. He was born an optimist, and he didn't have the slightest sense of crisis at all.

Jiang Xiaowen also looked calm, she was not bold, but she firmly believed in her heart that as long as she stayed with Xiao Yu, then there would be no difficulty in stopping them.

This sit until it gets dark.

The fog was thick and mushy until after dark. There was a feeling of uneasiness in everyone's hearts, the fog did not weaken in the slightest, would it continue until everyone starved to death?

That night, Zhao Changping's food reserves were exhausted.

Xiao Yu took out the carcass of half a scaly-armored cow from Najie to make up for the lack of food, the meat of the scaly-armored cow was delicious, but no one dared to eat more, because no one knew how long it would be trapped in the valley, and food could be saved.

Zhao Changping began to mobilize everyone to dig grass roots, tree roots, and bark nearby, and search for wild vegetables and fruits. These things can barely last for a few days when food is scarce. But it is only an expedient measure, eating bark and roots for a long time, everyone's combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, and the top priority is to study how to leave the valley.

No one would have thought that the wait would be two days.

Not to mention Zhao Changping now, Xiao Yu's food is also starting to run out, and if he continues like this, he may really be trapped in a small valley.

The thick fog lingered like a shadow in the heart.

Finally, Zhao Changping couldn't sit still, "The fog must not disperse, let's try a few times to see if we can get out of the forest!" ”

I really can't find any other way.

Although they did not dare to hold out much hope in their hearts, the people got up and moved forward.

About an hour later.

All the methods and attempts have been tried, but despite everyone's racking of their brains and burning, the long army still returns to the original point again and again. Morale is at an all-time low, and many people are starting to get anxious as the mood becomes manic, and there is even friction or conflict between peers that rarely occurred before.

Zhao Changping was helpless, and finally said with a heart: "Let's go back, I don't believe that there is no exit around, I want to divide people into multiple teams, set off to different places around, and look for an exit." What do you guys think? ”

Xiao Yu, Han Kexin, and Du Tao glanced at each other, this move was obviously inappropriate. If you scatter the crowd, your combat power will also be dispersed, and if you encounter danger, you will suffer more casualties. Unless forced to do so, no one would have thought of using this method, and the current situation is indeed worrying.

Xiao Yu carefully weighed for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, just do it." ”

Zhao Changping could only pray, hoping to find an exit or a way out of the Misty Valley, if even this could not work, then everyone would really have to be trapped in the valley for a long time.

The four hundred men were divided into twenty teams, and they entered the forest from different places, leaving marks along the way, and if they did not return to the point of origin after walking for more than an hour and a half, they immediately returned according to the signs, and then everyone headed towards this one place.

Xiao Yu took more than two dozen people and headed in a fixed direction, passing through the dense woods in the vast thick fog. After walking for about an hour, a familiar sight emerged as they climbed over a towering tree again.

The clearing, the severed wood, and the traces of human activity left on the ground, everything was exactly the same as when they left.

Not long after, the teams of Zhao Changping, Han Kexin, Jin Shi, Wang Chao, Jiang Xiaowen and others also returned to their places in turn, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Strange, how can there be one less team!" ”

(Plus more, ask for collections and red tickets!) ）
