Chapter 176: Beyond the Curtain
As soon as I walked down, I saw the old man waiting for us at the door.
Seeing that the four of us had already come down, he waved at us slightly, then turned around and walked out.
I glanced at Zhao Qiqi and them: "Let's go, this town doesn't look right anyway, if he can send us back, in fact, I feel much better than staying here all the time." ”
"But......" Du Deming silently glanced at the figure of the old man who was about to disappear, and he lowered his voice: "How can you be sure that he must be trustworthy, can you be sure that he will definitely send us back?" ”
After he finished speaking, Zhao Qiqi also turned her head to look at me, as if she was also concerned about this point.
I frowned, and shook my head with a somewhat tangled expression: "I can't say it, anyway, I have a feeling that this old man should have no ill will towards us, and the reason why I chose to believe him is just out of some instinct!" ”
"What you're saying is too unreliable, isn't it?" Zhang Qiang raised his eyebrows and looked at me strangely.
"Hmph, you kid don't say a word, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth!" As I spoke, I glanced angrily at his already blue calves.
Zhang Qiang snorted, but stopped talking.
When we walked out of the shop, it was completely dark, and it was almost dark except for the candlelight in the old man's shop.
I looked left and right, and finally in front of me on the right I saw that the old man had started a three-wheeled electric car that looked very shabby.
It is the kind of electric car with a cloth canopy that is common in rural areas, where two people can sit in front and a body more than one meter long behind it, which can put goods and carry people.
Seeing us coming, the old man parked the car and stepped out of the car.
"Get in the car in a moment, draw the curtains, try not to make any noise, and don't meddle in whatever you see going on outside. Most importantly, don't make a sound! The old man looked at the few of us gloomily and emphasized.
"Uh...... Got it. Seeing his serious look, I subconsciously nodded.
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and sat in the driver's seat again: "Come up!" It's too late to go. ”
Too late?
Why?
With so in mind, I was the first to get into the canopy.
Zhao Qiqi walked up the second, and then, Du Deming pulled Zhang Qiang, who didn't seem to be very reluctant, into it.
The four of us sat on two rows of stools placed opposite each other.
Finally, sitting outside, I took a peek at the dark night and pulled the curtain up.
"We're seated!" Seeing that everyone was already seated, I raised my head and shouted in the direction of the old man.
The old man didn't answer me, but the next second I heard him start the car.
In this way, we sat in this dilapidated electric tricycle driven by the old man, bumping and bumping, not knowing where we were being taken.
It was quiet all around, and because of the old man's instructions before, we couldn't speak, so we could only stare at each other like this.
The car continued to jolt, and the characteristic noisy sound of electric vehicles running was constantly heard in my ears.
I sighed.
Everyone was bored, and because of this, after this silent atmosphere lasted for more than ten minutes, we finally looked at each other, and then tacitly turned our heads to look at the door curtain that had been drawn.
It was very windy outside, and the curtains were blown up from time to time.
Driven by curiosity, we couldn't help but look out through the gap in the curtain.
Tonight, the sky is dark with no stars and no moon.
This heavy black color gives me the illusion.
Over here...... Is it really still the real world?
I was thinking wildly, but I suddenly caught a glimpse of a similar electric car driving outside.
In the beginning, I didn't take it to heart.
However, after a while......
2nd, 3rd, 4th......
Many similar electric cars drove past us.
The miserable white headlights passed by, making people feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Not only that, but what surprised us even more was that I suddenly realized a problem.
It seems that with the exception of our car, all the other electric cars are going in the opposite direction to us.
In other words, it's likely that these are all electric cars heading to that spooky town.
But...... Why is that?
When we were in the town just now, we didn't see a single house moving, so why are there so many similar vehicles driving in that direction?
I turned my head and happened to see Zhao Qiqi and Du Deming sitting opposite, and they also showed the same puzzled looks on their faces.
I shook my head slightly, motioning for them to continue watching.
The two of them nodded to me, then turned to look through the gap at the scene outside the curtain.
As soon as I looked outside, I noticed another electric car driving in the opposite direction of ours.
And yet, just when it is about to staggered with us.
A gust of wind blew, blowing the entire canopy of the car opposite.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
It was at that moment that I suddenly saw what was in the car on the other side.
I just felt cold all over my body, and I didn't react for a while.
That's right, there was a man lying quietly in the canopy of the car.
A person who does not have the slightest anger.
A man in white clothes, white trousers, and white shoes.
A man who had already begun to show corpse spots and had a stiff face.
One...... Dead people.
It had only been a few seconds since the vehicle met us, but I could see it clearly.
Because of this, an even more terrible thought came to my mind.
Since the car was filled with dead people, what about the other tricycles?
Will...... All the cars we just saw were parked with dead people?
I subconsciously turned my head to look at Zhao Qiqi and found that her face was also ugly.
But even so, I still remember the old man's repeated words.
Whatever we see, we can't make a sound, don't speak.
was wondering why Zhang Qiang, who had always been noisy, didn't shout, turned his head to look in his direction, but found that Du Deming had stepped forward and covered his mouth at some point.
I took a deep breath and shook my head helplessly.
In this way, the four of them were silent in an eerie and quiet atmosphere.
Eventually, I chose not to look out there.
The tricycle kept jolting, and at the end of the day, for some reason, I just felt very tired.
Leaning against the guardrail behind me, I gradually closed my eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but I was suddenly woken up by Du Deming and Zhao Qiqi.
