Chapter 14: Human Skin
This frightened cry came from the woman, Guan Hao and I put aside the problem between us for the time being, and rushed out of the tent at the same time.
The sound came from the bushes, and me, Guan Hao, the couple man and the thin man got into it together. In the clearing of the bushes, I saw Yao Qianwen running towards us, and the girl in the couple.
It seems that they are here again in a group.
I held Yao Qianwen, who was almost collapsed in front of me, with both hands, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"That'...... Over there! There's a dead man over there! Yao Qianwen looked up at me, her eyes filled with horror, and said intermittently: "It's over there...... In the bushes, all ...... It's all bloody ......."
"Dead again?" I frowned.
The couple man who was comforting his girlfriend next to him heard my words and wondered, "What do you mean by 'again'?" After speaking, he grabbed his girlfriend's shoulders: "What the hell is going on?" What did you see, what dead people? ”
Guan Hao's brows furrowed quickly.
Now it seems that even if I don't say it, I can't hide it.
It's just that now I'm curious, who is the corpse that appears again? The previous two bodies, quite far from this position, are not excluded from being transferred, but who will be transferred? A mysterious monster hiding in the bushes?
I don't think they should be that boring.
"Go over and take ......a look," Guan Hao made a decision at this time.
I followed him, along with the couple guy, and the skinny guy took care of the two girls.
The smell of blood was there, and the further you went into the woods, the stronger it became. In addition to the smell of blood, I smelled that strange smell again, the special slime near the corpse before, just now under Cheng Haidong's feet.
However, there seem to be only these two flavors.
And at this time, the beam of the flashlight had already shone into the bushes not far away, the humanoid thing that was placed on the ground! The "corpse" in Yao Qianwen's mouth!
"At the front." Guan Hao was ready to continue walking.
I grabbed him: "Wait, don't you think it's a little less flavorful?" ”
"What does it smell like?"
"Stink."
The stench of the corpse that had been rotting for a long time.
The dead monkey, just killed, came from the body with a particularly strong stench, although I don't know why, but it must be related to the mysterious monster in the mountain, as for the reason for the smell, is the way of eating? Or is it simply swallowed whole and then excreted?
Since I haven't seen it with my own eyes, my imagination of it is endless.
And the "corpse" in front of me, it has less of a stench.
Why is there less smell?
When something goes wrong, there must be something wrong with it. We didn't rush closer, but first carefully looked around to make sure that nothing was going on, and then moved forward a little bit, and in the end, even I felt a little too nervous.
And the truth is, what was there was really not a corpse.
It's human skin.
A human skin soaked in that strange slime!
"Oh!!" The couple man covered his mouth, but he still couldn't help vomiting, vomit overflowed from his palm, choking him to cough constantly, and his mouth said intermittently: "This ...... What the hell! This, this in the end...... What the hell is going on?! ”
I looked around, and it seemed that the only thing that seemed to be different was that the "corpse" had become human skin.
The imaginary danger did not appear.
But what kind of human skin is this?
And why did it soak in the special slime of the unknown monster?
I squatted down and was about to take a closer look at this skin, but Guan Hao grabbed my shoulder!
I looked up, "What's wrong?" ”
"Don't touch this thing, be careful......"
I looked at him for two seconds and responded, "Thank you." ”
It was a human skin lying on the ground, with the face, chest, and abdomen underneath, and I tried to turn it over, but I found that there were no suitable tools around me. I had to look at the surface briefly, but soon, I made an astonishing, even frightening discovery.
The back of this skin does not have so much mucus, or blood, and the mucus is mostly concentrated in the abdomen, and there is also grass on it, which is spreading in one direction.
until it disappears.
This is......
I immediately got up and looked back in the direction where the slime continued, and there was our camp!
"What's the matter...... From under it, with this slime, move in that direction? No, not to climb under it, but ...... Molting, it's a guy covered in slime, coming out of this skin! Climb to our camp! ”
At that moment I realized,
The monsters that have been playing hide-and-seek with us in the bushes are probably humanoid!
"Can't be dispersed, let's go back as soon as possible! Be quick, and evacuate right away! "I made a decision.
The couple man was still at a loss, not knowing what I was talking about, but Guan Hao seemed to understand what I meant, and there was still a little hesitation in his eyes, but in the end, he still agreed with my decision.
After returning to the camp, while we were preparing to evacuate, Guan Hao explained everything that had happened before.
Everyone but the skinny man had seen corpses, or human skins, and there was no need to explain much about the horrors that might exist in the woods. So the decision to evacuate went smoothly.
Then, we evacuated along the previous route up the mountain, the only trouble was that Cheng Haidong was still unconscious at the moment, carrying him, and I was very slow. And Guan Hao and I are in a similar situation, I don't know if it's because of the cold at night, Ruan Nana's face seems to be even more ugly than during the day, and now she is completely unable to move on her own, and she needs Guan Hao to walk on her back.
Guan Hao put on a thick coat for her and walked side by side with me at the end of the line.
At a certain moment, I noticed that Ruan Nana on Guan Hao's back was looking at me, and she seemed to be looking at it for a long time.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It's hard, isn't it?" This was the first thing Ruan Nana said to me since we met.
I resisted Cheng Haidong upward, "No way, I can't leave it alone." ”
Ruan Nana smiled and shook her head slightly, with bitterness in her smile.
At this moment, the person who was walking in front suddenly stopped and shouted: "Wait! Wait a minute! Don't go, can't go on......"
The person who shouted was a couple man.
I put down Cheng Haidong and stepped forward to check, "What's wrong?" ”
"Look, look, we've been here, where we set up our tent just now! Forgot? ”
It does look familiar, and on the ground, there are traces left by the tent we set up before. I even picked up a few coins that slipped out of Cheng Haidong's pocket when he was carrying him on his back. At that time, I was too troublesome to pick it up.
Why is this happening?
Obviously, it has been going in the same direction, even downhill all the time.
Unless the terrain changes, I don't think I'm going to go wrong......
"I can't keep walking, it's too cold, and I'm really tired." Yao Qianwen sat on a stone and waved her hand again and again.
She was right, and the first person to die of exhaustion must be me if she goes on like this, Cheng Haidong is too heavy. At this time, Yao Qianwen, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again and exclaimed.
I stepped forward to check and saw that the girl was holding her hands in front of her, and in the light, those hands were covered in crystal slime.
At the same time, in the depths of the trees around us, there were bursts of "snoring" at the same time......
