Chapter 173: A Strange Town
In front of me is a highway that stretches somewhere.
It's potholed, and it looks like it's been around for a while.
There was no one around except the four of us passing by.
Of course, there were no vehicles passing by.
As the sun sets, crows in the sky continue to hover and hiss.
There was a faint sense of foreboding.
"I'm going, ghost breaking?? How did we get here? Zhang Qiang began to shout again.
"First of all, you forgot that we came down from the other side of the mountain?" Knowing that Zhang Qiang was about to start creating tension again, I immediately retorted.
"Oh...... I almost forgot. Zhang Qiang touched his head with sudden realization.
"So what do we do now? Is it to go around this side of the mountain, or to go straight down the road? Du Deming had a faint worry on his face.
Zhao Qiqi thought for a while and turned his head to look at me: "Gao Wei, what do you think?" Can you try to sense it with your sixth sense? ”
"Okay."
I nodded, then closed my eyes and focused all my attention.
At first, I had white snowflakes in my mind like a TV without a signal.
Slowly, the road I was facing seemed to faintly begin to glow green.
And the road that Du Deming mentioned that could go back to the previous way up the mountain was full of black gas.
"Let's go straight off the road!" I opened my eyes and pointed to the road in front of me: "The sixth sense tells me that it seems that if we go around the road, it is likely to be dangerous. ”
"Why?" Zhang Qiang looked at the road: "Are you sure this road is really fine?" ”
I sighed and looked up at the black clouds that had suddenly gathered in the sky.
"My sixth sense, you should know that. Don't talk about that, it should be dark in a few moments. I said.
"That's right, since Gao Wei's sixth sense feels that this path is fine, then it must be right, let's hurry up!" Du Deming also nodded.
Zhao Qiqi glanced at Zhang Qiang: "Let's go, otherwise, we will leave you here alone." ”
With that, she took the lead on the road.
"You, be less poor a day!" Du Deming smiled, reached out and patted Zhang Qiang's shoulder, and then followed.
In the end, I also smiled at Zhang Qiang, and then chased after him.
Zhang Qiang's face was hidden in the setting sun, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
After a while, he looked up at us and ran over.
Behind me, the afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the four of us in a strange halo, and I looked at the endless highway with an indescribable feeling in my heart.
The road was lined with weeds as far as the eye could see, and the breeze blew, wafting the smell of weeds and earth mixed with the wilderness.
It's like another world.
A world without people.
And where do we go?
My eyes lit up, and a strange feeling gradually rose in my heart.
"Gao Wei, how long do we have to go?! Where does this highway lead? Zhang Qiang was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know." I shook my head and said very seriously.
"What? I don't know? So are you still going forward? Zhang Qiang looked at me in surprise, and then turned to look at the other two: "Hey, did you hear?" Gao Wei said that he didn't know which way this was the way to go, and you still followed him on? ”
"Say less!" Du Deming glanced at Zhang Qiang.
And Zhao Qiqi stared at Zhang Qiang with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Qiang saw that everyone ignored him, so he had no choice but to continue to walk forward.
However, after walking for about a few hundred meters, Zhang Qiang suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong again?" I paused and turned to look at Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang pointed to his right calf with an innocent face: "I really didn't mean it this time, you see." ”
When I heard this, I looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Qiang, but found that the place on his right calf was swollen with a large bag at this time, and it was already a little blue and purple.
"What's going on?" My face immediately changed, and I hurriedly walked over to him.
Seeing this, Zhao Qiqi and Du Deming also hurriedly ran over.
"I didn't think it just now, but now my calf is getting more and more painful, but when I look at it, I find that it has become like this." Zhang Qiang said, sweat on his forehead had begun to seep out: "I seem to be a little unable to walk." ”
"Looks like I've been poisoned by something." Zhao Qiqi squinted at it, and then said.
"Is it because of the thorns in the grass on the mountain?" I thought.
"What now? There aren't any vehicles here at all, and we don't know how long we'll be walking yet. Du Deming said with a solemn face.
I looked down and groaned, not knowing what to do for a while.
At this moment, Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of the front.
I seemed to see something in a trance, and I was stunned and fixed to look again.
When I saw what it was, my face suddenly became happy, and I shouted to the other people with some excitement: "Look ahead!!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked up and saw what I was talking about, and the other people also looked at each other happily.
"A small town?! That's great! Someone has a way! Du Deming said to me with a smile.
"Then let's help Qiangzi and hurry over!" I glanced up at the sun, which was already sinking into the ground: "It's getting dark, and if possible, we'll try to get the townspeople to stay with us for the night." ”
"Good!! Don't help it! I'll carry him! Du Deming nodded, and then carried Zhang Qiang to himself without saying a word.
A flash of surprise flashed on Zhang Qiang's face, and then he showed a look of apology.
"No...... Excuse me! Thank you. He opened his mouth with some embarrassment.
"It's okay! Let's get over there! Du Deming said.
So, the four of us didn't delay any longer.
I walked in the front, then Zhao Qiqi, and Du Deming walked in the end with Zhang Qiang on his back.
After about five minutes of walking, we finally arrived at this strange, sparsely populated town.
It's strange because it's only six or seven o'clock in the evening, but every house has its doors and windows closed.
Not only that, but at a glance, there is a white flag hanging at the door of every house.
There are no markings on the flag, which makes it look even more infiltrating.
"Shall we go in again?" Standing at the wordless plaque at the entrance to the town, Du Deming looked at me.
"At the moment, we can't just spend the night on the road like this, and although it looks a little strange here, I think it's better to go and see it." I thought about it for a moment and said to the others.
"yes, let's go in!" Du Deming nodded, but his expression became vigilant.
The four of us walked into this somewhat eerie town.
I walked for three or four minutes, but when I looked all the way, I didn't find a single house with the lights on.
It's like it's dead.
Just as I was thinking about whether to find a random one to sneak in and check the situation, a strange shop on the right hand side of the front caught everyone's attention.
