Chapter 169: The Fog Rises on the Plateau
The northeasternmost corner of Beisang is the starting point of the Yunshan Mountain Range, which seems to have been cut out vertically by a knife - "Sunrise Cliff".
The average altitude of the desperate desert in the northern foothills is about 4,000 meters, and although the southern foothills are gradually decreasing, it is also a rooftop plateau with an average of nearly 2,000 meters.
Because the Yunshan barrier is very obviously affected by the monsoon, and the monsoon is hoarded on the south side of the mountain range, the precipitation on the plateau is much more abundant than in other places. The dense coniferous broad-leaved forests and the wide variety of animals of all sizes provide the North Sang with an almost endless variety of natural resources.
Mother and daughter originally lived under the roof plateau, on the easternmost seashore of the forest. A small fishing village that can go down to the sea to fish and go up to the mountains to hunt, but it doesn't even have a name.
If it is not surrounded by mountains on both sides and the sea on one side, the only way out in the south is still the "stone slope" that cannot be opened to traffic at all, and it may become the youngest national commercial port in Beisanke.
Even now, when it is very difficult to communicate with the outside world, the villagers can fully support themselves through the forest and the sea. As the first place in the whole territory of North Sanke to soak up the sun every day, people's lives are happy and satisfying.
Only two months ago, the woman's middle-aged husband and several other villages went up to the mountains to hunt. When they returned, not only did they not catch any prey, but they all became often in a daze.
Several families immediately decided to ask the medical officer in the southern town of Stone Hammer to take a closer look as soon as possible, but they did not find any physical problems. I only speculated that I might have been frightened by the fierce beasts in the mountains, so I gave a vague suggestion to rest more and go up the mountain less.
The family had plenty of seafood to stock, so the villagers did so, and the situation of several men did improve slightly.
There are 100 families in the village, and all the big and small things will soon be known.
After some discussion, other families who wanted to go into the mountains to hunt decided to form a team of at least 20 people to go up the mountain, so as not to encounter a situation similar to a few people.
After more than a month, it was indeed much more stable.
No matter how much the others asked, several of them seemed to have lost their memory, completely forgetting what had caused them fear. But there were at least 20 people per hunt, and it was true that there were no more men who did the same thing.
It wasn't until late at night five days ago, when everyone was asleep, that a thick fog spread through the forests of the northern plateau that there was no end in sight.
At that time, the middle-aged woman had just gotten up and went to the toilet with her daughter, who was afraid of the dark.
Lighting a fish oil lamp, the two were talking quietly when a gust of north wind blew. The woman was thinking about the north wind blowing in autumn and the day after tomorrow when the day after tomorrow was about to cool down, and the fog gradually spread without warning.
After the daughter finished going to the toilet, the two were about to open the toilet door.
Who knows the next moment.
"Bang Ling!" suddenly slammed the door of the main house around the corner. Then, the husband's inexplicable howl became farther and farther away.
The two were panicked and hurriedly helped each other to the courtyard.
At this time, the screams and wails of the village rang out one after another.
Men, women, the elderly, children, every voice is so familiar. The sounds of help, angry scolding, and begging for mercy pierced the fragile hearts of the mother and daughter who were hesitant and helpless.
What happened to the villagers?
What happened to the neighbors?
What happened to the only thing the mother and mother relied on?
A series of questions popped up in the depths of their minds, but now no one could give them any hints or answers.
Only the screams that kept ringing in my ears, and my head was accompanied by the terrifying scenes that everyone in the village was experiencing.
The next moment, a black shadow of a man ran outside the door, which frightened the woman and trembled, and the fish oil lamp in her hand "snapped" and fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
The two of them exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated to avoid the flames. Who knew that just this little sound was heard by the black shadow who had just run past.
The shadow turned to enter the door, staring at where the fire was burning and opening its mouth.
The two of them were completely stunned when they saw the face of the black shadow in the fog, it was the woman's husband and the girl's father. Once the man who was taller than the sky and could support the whole family almost forever.
At this moment, the blood basin opened its mouth angrily, the strips of rags and raw minced meat between the teeth were clearly visible, and saliva mixed with dark red liquid was scattered wantonly.
stared at the wife and daughter who used to get along day and night, but pounced like a hungry tiger.
The mother and daughter's eyes widened in horror, and when they tried to avoid escaping, they found that their legs had long since stopped obeying the call.
When the man ran to about two meters in the blink of an eye, he was about to jump up and pounce on his wife. The woman's survival instinct on the edge of death suddenly exploded at this moment.
Pushing her daughter away, she herself fell to the other side with the reaction force. The man who jumped into the air had his feet off the ground, and he couldn't change any direction at all.
Turning his head and raising his hand to grab his wife, he grabbed it empty, and the whole "person" hit the back wall of the toilet headlong.
Just listen to the "click!" A crisp sound of bones, and the two hurriedly turned their heads to look in the direction of the man.
The cervical vertebrae have been folded sideways to a standard 90° angle, but the expression on his face is always hideous and terrifying. The mouth was closed one by one, and the red and bloodshot eyes were still staring at the two viciously, refusing to move away for a moment.
The two of them gathered together again and slowly approached the gate of the courtyard wall. Staring at the man who was still the pillar of the family during the day, and now he looked like a dead corpse but still wanted to kill them in a daze.
The next moment, the woman's lower body faintly exuded a smell of urine. The mother and daughter, who were so frightened that they forgot to shed tears, are now really on the precipice of a nervous breakdown!
The woman suddenly snorted, grabbed her daughter's hand tightly, tried her best to lower her voice and trembled and ordered: "We must, we must get out of here, leave immediately!"
Hearing her mother's words, the daughter realized what she had just experienced. Listening to the screams that kept ringing around him, "Let's go, let's go!" finally burst into tears.
Biting his lip and nodding his head, he didn't even dare to say the word "um!" For fear that if you are not careful, you will attract other "people" to eat yourself.
The woman grabbed her daughter's wrist with one hand, although the daughter was caught in pain, even more so than when she was caught by her angry father when she was a child. But she still gritted her teeth and endured, she didn't want to die, especially not to die in such a terrible environment.
The two turned slightly to the door, and the woman stuck her head out to look around. The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and you can't even see 20 meters on both sides of the street.
But the woman has lived here for decades, and she can find out where Minami is with her eyes closed.
Turn left and run to the place called "Stone Slope" to the south.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran out of thirty or forty meters, a gate next to him was forcibly pulled open from the inside. With the man's screams, from the crack in the door that had just been opened, a dark and strong but bloody arm covered with bite marks stretched out.
The woman subconsciously glanced at it, and her steps sped up by two points.
The old couple who live in this family and a pair of twin brothers who have just married their wives. One person fishes and one person goes up the mountain, and life is very happy and happy.
But now, it's dead!
gasping for breath, the daughter next to her felt as if her lungs were being torn. The pain of the fire, coupled with the fact that her legs would go weak from time to time, made her fear of death even greater.
When they were less than fifty meters away from the entrance of the village, they found that the doors of the last two households were open. The walls, gates, and even the ground were covered in blurred dark red bloodstains.
As they passed through the two houses where the pair lived, heart-rending howls rang out almost simultaneously from the left and right.
Then, the two lame figures chased after them like mad beasts, regardless of their own pain.
The two of them were already in the spiritual body at the end of the strong crossbow, and at this moment, their minds were stimulated by the situation between the two breads, and the rope in their hearts that was tense due to fear broke into two in the blink of an eye.
This psychological breakdown did not make them give up their desire to survive. It's just that from the fear that he had just suppressed so much, a new force burst out in an instant.
Immediately turned from silent to crazy shouting, and the two of them walked faster and faster.
Even if you fall, you get up instantly, and even if you can't get up, you scream and crawl on all fours. Like an antelope driven into a desperate situation by a hungry wolf, running, crawling, and rolling, there are bumps and bruises all over the body, and a pair of fleshy palms are also scratched with flesh and blood.
Anything that can be done away from a pursuer will do. As long as you can get out of here as soon as possible, get out of here alive!
Any action, any way.
