Wu Xie followed the third uncle and Pan Zi to the edge of the stream, pondering what Jude Kao had just said and what they had seen.

"Third uncle, why don't we cooperate with him?" Wu Xie asked.

"Then why are we working with him?" The third uncle didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

Wu Xie said: "I originally thought that we were tossing and turning outside, and Jude would be able to enter the building, but after so many days, they died so many people, and they couldn't even find where the building was." This ancient building must be very weird. ”

The third uncle was noncommittal, but Pan Zi laughed when he heard it, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Little third master, you can rest assured!" The third master doesn't cooperate with him because we have more powerful allies. ”

Wu Xie: "A more powerful ally? ”

"Yes, the dreamers are here, why should we go far and near." Pan Zidao.

The third uncle lit a cigarette and looked into the distance in the darkness, where there was a huge no man's land, deep mountains and old forests.

After a moment of silence, the third uncle said, "Wu Xie, tell me your opinion on this matter." ”

Wu Xie thought about it for a while, and talked about the similarities between the terrible patient he had seen just now and the shadow he had seen in the photos of Agui's family and the third uncle before.

"This is certainly not a coincidence, I think there is a possibility, that shadow, maybe the same nature as the person we just saw." Wu Xie Dao.

The third uncle nodded, but Pan Zi obviously didn't understand: "You tell me in detail." ”

"We don't know what happened to that man in that crevice, but let's assume that if he survives this time, what will become of his body? You can imagine it. ”

Pan Zi nodded, the person stood up just now, his shoulders basically melted, the whole person was extremely weird, this kind of deformity is absolutely impossible to cure.

"And the photo I gave me in Brother Chu is too similar to the strange shadow I saw on the second floor of Agui's house before, and the posture of the person standing up just now. I believe that in this village there was a man who had the same accident as the patient, but survived and became deformed. This person is likely to be from the archaeological team twenty years ago. ”

Pan Zi didn't make a sound, but looked at the third uncle.

The third uncle threw the cigarette butt, stepped on the cigarette butt, and said, "Your analysis is good, that person is indeed a member of the archaeological team." ”

Wu Xie was stunned, and suddenly found that the person concerned was in front of him, and he immediately asked, "Third uncle, what happened back then?" Why are some people dead, some alive, and some missing? Isn't that the end of the story? ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't!" seemed to have touched the bottom line of the third uncle, and the third uncle said sharply, "When you don't have that ability, don't touch things that are beyond your ability." This is the advice given to you by the third uncle. Of course, there are some things that you have to learn to be independent, not dependent. ”

"I see, Third Uncle." Wu Xie replied, but he thought about it a lot.

"Panzi! The team does not rest, can it go? Wu Xie asked Pan Zidao.

Pan Zi glanced at the third uncle, asked him to nod, and replied, "Yes, these people were picked out by me and the third master." I can bear it without sleep for three days. How? Little Third Master, what do you think? ”

"We're going to go into the mountain immediately, I think something might happen." Wu Xie said, "Tell them to rest in the mountains, and we must rush to the lake before tomorrow night." ”

"Third Master?" Pan Zi looked at the third uncle with some hesitation.

The third uncle nodded: "Do as he says." ”

This sudden decision caught everyone off guard, but fortunately, the deterrent power of the third uncle was here, and everyone packed up the baggage that had been opened in a strange atmosphere, and asked Agui to prepare dogs and mules overnight and head for the mountains.

Even so, it was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night when the mules were brought in to set off regularly.

The dark night of the mountains and forests was full of mosquitoes, Wu Xie was extremely tired, but his heart was tormented by internal fire, knowing that he might be in a hurry, but he still couldn't help but be anxious.

Third uncle: "Boy, be calm and don't panic, so that you can think of a solution." ”

Along the way, Wu Xie and the third uncle walked at the front of the team, closely following Ah Gui, who led the three dogs to open the way, and Pan Zi and a few men drove the mules behind, opening up a long distance.

It was not until dawn that they rested, laid down the first supply point, marked along the way, and after walking through the dense canopy, they saw a procession of Jude Kaw, all of them in large blue tents, not far away, and they ignored it and continued on their way.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I arrived at the edge of the demon lake, it was already the evening of the next day, the sun only had one tail left, and only a trace of misty light was reflected on the calm lake, which looked extremely dim.

But on the other side of the lake, bonfires are lit up, and a series of red fires reflect an incredible scene.

There were campfires everywhere, rice was cooked everywhere, and there were many makeshift shacks between the rocks, covered with thatched leaves. There were twenty or thirty men, mules, dogs, and even ducks, mixed in with them.

The tape recorder was playing music, and beer and cola cans were scattered in the cracks of the stones.

Under the firelight, those people in twos and threes played cards, in a daze, and drank wine, a leisurely modern idyllic scene.

"The bosses on the rocky beach couldn't lie down in their sleeping bags, so they built shacks. The ducks are raised to eat, and it is too troublesome to bring them in one by one, so each family catches a dozen of them and raises them in the lake first, anyway, the ducks can't run away from the lake. Agui said: "In a few days, I will have to get some reclining chairs from the outside to come in, and the boss will take a shower on what day?" ”

"Sunbathing." Xie Yuchen said in the back and patted Wu Xie, "People are like this, those who do this line of work naturally like to have fun in time." ”

No one paid any attention to them, and when they walked into their campsite, everyone looked at them with indifference, and Panzi passed by a place where beer crates were stacked, and threw a few cans at them, and no one protested.

"Looks like they're treating us as their own." Pan Zi said, "Jude is not reliable to fuck him, and he doesn't even have a sentry." ”

"It's not nothing, people are masters of art and bold." Xie Yuchen looked at a place, took a sip of beer and pointed.

Wu Xie turned his head to look, and saw a little spark on a tree in the forest outside the rocky beach, and it seemed that someone was smoking on it.

"Just one?"

"Just one." Xie Yuchen said, "I guess I have a guy in my hand, and my eyes are good." ”

"Let's stay away from them." Pan Zi said, "The black smoke is miasma, and there are many people with mixed eyes. ”

"That's right," Xie Yuchen looked at the third uncle: "Third master, I thought you were cooperating with him!" Say it earlier! Crazy, he's been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Xie Yuchen led them to a camp that was diametrically opposed, which was orderly and patrolling at night.

Insight Yuchen led the people over, and a guy came up and said, "Master Hua'er, I'll arrange other people, Master Feng has been waiting for you for a long time, go quickly." ”
