This time, the Mist Breaker team did not bring Zuge over, and Zuge did not have a "key", so they could not cross the line in the action deduction, but could mutate into monsters.

They have also received the news, no matter what, they will not take risks with them, and they can also contribute by staying outside Dongzhou, and those murder suspects have not been found yet, maybe there may be other secret passages between the two realms, so they have to look for them......

But without Zuge, the dead swamp is even more secret, with broken trees, crows, cold winds, and gray skies.

Lou Xiaoning, Deng Ximei, and Grant Bell are carefully stepping on the rotting mud, exploring their surroundings.

They didn't go far, they were within fifty meters of Yu Chi, the amniotic wall was not far behind them, and there was no one in front of them. If this was an overlapping area, it should still be within the alleyway, but they didn't see even a trace of the alley.

In the vast swamp, some puddles of mud were covered with inexplicable blisters, as if they were devouring something.

Deng Ximei looked at a withered old tree in one direction with feeling, and said, "Let's go over and see that tree." ”

There are some dead trees on the swamp, all lonely, although they are so withered that they are difficult to distinguish, but they do not look like the tree species of the earth world.

Lou Xiaoning and Grant Bell didn't know what was so special about that tree, but Deng Ximei's inspiration was very important, so she carried a rifle and walked carefully with her.

At the same time, Uncle Dan put on a fixed chest strap for Yu Chi, and explained to the doctor: "No matter what you want to do in the near future, use less chests." ”

"Okay." Yu Chi nodded anxiously, and stood up with the support of Uncle Dan and Mo Qing, he could still move freely, but he couldn't bear the weight.

"Team Yu, how is it, is it still painful?" Feng Peiqian asked sadly, but she was distressed.

"Pain......" Yu Chi is really still in pain, but he can't take care of it anymore, and there is something else to do, "I have to quickly repair the fifth pillar and erect the sixth pillar...... I've thought about it, my pillars are too similar, almost all of them are passionate about archaeology, this is not comprehensive enough, I should set up something else, such as Pei Qian, you ......"

"Ahh Feng Peiqian's eyes suddenly lit up, her heart froze, and she barely lifted her breath.

"And Ziyuan, them." Yu Chi frowned and muttered, "I want to use you as a base to build a pillar of the Secret Bureau, yes, it should be a good idea." ”

Feng Peiqian took a deep breath.

Peacock and Catherine both shrugged their shoulders, which was a good idea indeed, but it didn't have the skill to speak.

The dead tree had no leaves, it was about ten meters high, and its thick trunk coiled there, and it seemed to be deep in the mire, so that even if the leaves were gone, the branches withered one after another, and even the crows would not perch on it, but the dead tree had not yet fallen.

Its bark was dark brown with large cracks, and it looked like an old man's face in a trance.

Deng Ximei walked all the way to the front of the tree, and she smelled a different smell here, the smell of blood, the blood of the humans on the earth.

"There seems to be blood ...... here," she whispered, a hallucination looming before her eyes, blood not from an enemy, but from a partner.

"Here." Lou Xiaoning had already found it, and with her excellent field tracking ability, she could tell that the hard soil under her feet was a little different, with a little dark red in the dark brown color, and when she bent closer, the smell of blood entered her nose.

If there is blood, it means that there has been movement and there are wounded.

At this time, Deng Ximei looked at the body of the tree, and vaguely found another point, and after a few steps around, she saw that there was a recognizable inscription on a tree trunk. But the words are being pulled and swallowed by the bark, and some of them are missing.

"This tree is not dead yet." She suddenly said, and realized, "Dead trees can't exist here, everything here has life." ”

Grant Bell looked up at the old tree, and indeed despite its lack of leaves, it still seemed to have a strange and strong vitality.

"Are those words?" Lou Xiaoning also saw it, and his left eye widened slightly, "It was Gu Jun who left it?" ”

The legible text on the tree reads:

[With the membrane wall as the east, we face ...... North...... Beware of the ...... There is a different hand ......】

It was only a small fraction of the broken writing on the tree, the rest had been broken into unrecognizable messy notches from the dark brown bark.

Maybe they would have seen more information if they had arrived earlier, but now the only way to read this unformed passage is to read it well.

There is a rule of thumb for venturing in places where dark forces are rampant, and that is to try not to have direct physical contact with anything. Especially here, the power of the black goat of the forest can obviously cause human distortion at a rate faster than nuclear radiation.

Therefore, none of the three of them rashly went up to touch the tree, and Deng Ximei's touch might trigger the illusion, but they also needed to be careful.

It's just that although there is no direct contact, she just looks at those nicks and has a different feeling......

"Carlopp's scalpel." Deng Ximei said casually, "Those words, I feel that they were carved with a Carlop scalpel, and the person holding the knife should be Ah Jun." ”

"So, if that's the case." Lou Xiaoning looked north, "Where are they going?" Why? ”

The north side of the swamp doesn't look special, it's not even the exit of the alley, with the membrane wall as the east, and the exit of the alley is on the south side.

But why did Gu Jun choose to go north? Have you explored the south and found it a dead end? Or is there another reason?

He should have carved it already...... And what does it mean to "be careful in the mire, there are different hands"? Is there a strange hand in the mire?

Deng Ximei looked around the swamp again, and once again looked at the bubbles in some muddy puddles of rotten water......

There was a slight surging sound, a sound of blisters bursting, the sound of something churning...... Only, the noises didn't seem to come from the puddles of mud.

Suddenly, the three of them heard Yu Chi's side, and they called out in a suppressed panic: "There is a situation on our side, there is a situation!" "Watch out for those corpse storage tanks, there's weirdness, there's a knock in there, the lid is moving on its own......"

Yu Chi, Feng Peiqian, Uncle Dan, Peacock, and Mo Qing had all already aimed the muzzle of the automatic rifle at the corpse storage tank next to it.

This is the storage tank that Yu Chi pulled, and inside is also a relatively intact corpse of a dead skin soaked in formalin.

But they weren't sure what had become of it now.

And not only this one corpse trough, but the other seven corpse troughs around were also making crashing sounds.

Bang, bang, bang, the crash grew louder and harrier.
