Originally, everyone still had doubts about this little boy, but after listening to his story, we hesitated a little.

I was about to ask something more, but the voice of the "True Demon" suddenly came from mid-air.

"Squad 9 players trigger Hidden Optional Mission 3: Successfully return Drucker to the Highland Institute in the center of the Forest of No Return, 200 points, and will receive additional story clues after completing the mission. Acceptable? ”

When the sound of "true demon" disappeared, two more options appeared in the air in front of us: "yes" and "no".

"The little boy has some kind of connection with scientific research, and I think this may be a very important clue, and if we follow this clue, we may find out the real cause of the virus outbreak. Take it! I turned my head to look at the others.

Naturally, everyone understands this truth.

So in the next second, everyone did not hesitate to select the "yes" button.

"But, even if we send him back, it won't be possible to pass in the middle of the night, right? I'm so sleepy! Zhang Qiang glanced at the little boy and opened his mouth to yawn.

"Yes." I also glanced at the boy.

Suddenly remembering the Orion he had mentioned, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Walking up to the boy, I squatted down again, reached out and touched his head: "Little friend, you just said that you slipped out of Uncle Orion's house, right?" It's so late, can you take us there? We'll take you to Daddy tomorrow morning, okay? ”

When the boy heard this, he didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Zhao Qiqi.

Seeing this, Zhao Qiqi took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to the little boy.

He reached out and grabbed the candy before nodding his head in agreement with a smile.

I couldn't help but smile wryly, I couldn't see that this little guy was quite realistic.

"That's a good idea, let's go to Orion's house for one night tonight, and take him back to that high ground tomorrow morning. Let's go now! I'm so sleepy. Zhang Qiang said and yawned again.

Du Deming and Wang Yi next to him were also infected by him and began to yawn.

I nodded and looked at the boy again, "Do you remember how you left Uncle Orion's house?" ”

The boy frowned and began to think hard.

After two seconds, he seemed to remember something terrible, and his mouth grinned, and he began to cry again: "Woo...... My uncle's house was built on a flat plot of land halfway up the mountain. After I left my uncle's house, I walked towards the foot of the hill, and then I turned a corner and came to the bank of the river. There were so many trees on the riverbank that after a while, I couldn't tell the difference between front and back. There was a lot of forest just now, but I don't know what happened, all those trees actually crawled and ran away, it's terrible......"

As he spoke, he threw himself into Zhao Qiqi's arms and began to cry.

Zhao Qiqi looked down at the large water stains on his clothes, and the corners of his mouth moved, obviously holding back his anger.

Just when I felt a little funny, Zhao Qiqi glared at me: "Gao Wei, what are you still doing?" ”

"Huh? Oooh. I hurriedly stopped laughing and pulled the little boy away from Zhao Qiqi's body.

"Children, don't be afraid, aren't there so many brothers and sisters with you now? We'll take you to Uncle Orion's house to rest now, and you'll be able to go home early tomorrow morning." I hardened my head and began to comfort the little brat.

"yes, how old are you?" Du Deming also walked over.

The little boy glanced at him and sniffed: "Ten years old." ”

"Ten years old, that's already a man, a man can't just cry his nose." Du Deming touched the boy's head and said.

The little boy seemed to really understand Du Deming's words, he nodded, and then stopped crying.

"Alright, don't waste time. Let me see how Orion's home goes. As I spoke, I clicked on the game map in the bracelet menu.

Soon, we zoomed in on the map and found the only place in the neighborhood where the house was marked.

Looks like it's right there.

"Is this it?! It doesn't seem to be very far from us, and it's only two or three kilometers away. Zhang Qiang pointed to the markers on the map and said.

Wang Yi also leaned to the side to take a look, and then he looked to the left and right sides of the riverbank.

"I should go forward along this river, turn six or seven hundred meters ahead, follow the path uphill, and you should find that place."

"Let's go!"

I nodded, and as I spoke, I pulled the boy forward.

Several other teammates hurriedly followed.

The weather here was also very strange, and we had only walked a few steps before a drizzle began to fall.

Although the rain was not heavy, I always felt a little uncomfortable.

A few minutes later, we came to the bend in the boy's mouth.

I looked left and right, and sure enough, I found that there was a trail on a mountain not far ahead.

"It should be here, go up!" Wang Yi glanced at all of us and said.

"Everyone be careful, I don't know if there are any weird things here, don't lose them!" I turned my head to glance at the others, and asked uneasily.

"Don't worry, I'm watching the two girls from behind." Du Deming replied seriously.

With that, our group began to climb up the mountain.

After climbing for a while, we finally realized that we had been deceived by the map.

This part of the road seems to be very close, but the distance on the mountain is not the same as the distance on the flat land.

After climbing for a long time, we advanced to an altitude of about a few hundred meters.

"No, no! Take a break! Zhang Qiang finally couldn't help but stop, he waved his hand, saying that he couldn't climb anymore.

Turning his head to look at the others, he saw that they were also sweating profusely and gasping for air.

"It stands to reason that we shouldn't be so tired after we have improved our physical fitness? What's going on? Du Deming also wiped the sweat from his forehead, puzzled.

Situ Cao glanced at him, and then said, "I suspect that this may be the effect of the special smell emitted by those man-eating plants just now. Because of the inhalation, we feel a lot more tired than usual. ”

"Is there any way to do it?" When I heard this, I immediately asked.

"No, we will return to normal when the toxins slowly wear off. About 10 hours! Situ Cao thought about it and replied seriously.

I sighed, "That's all there is to it." ”

The people stood still, resting.

Can be ...... suddenly.

I felt something in the bushes on the left staring at us coldly.

Shocked, I hurriedly looked over there.

When I saw what it was, my expression changed.

Oh my God, what did I see......
