[065] Encounter smog
The night is vast, and a faint and soft haze gradually gathers over the uninhabited island.
This was their first night on the uninhabited island, and Li Laoqi was like the legendary Liangshan hero and Song Jiang in time, not only bringing them food, but also a flashlight of one of the necessities.
The flashlight is still a luxury item that has not been popularized as one of the three major electrical appliances in Dead Water Bay, and most of the mountain people cannot use it. The flashlight is equipped with a large battery, which takes a long time.
Of course, the money to buy the flashlight was paid by Zhong Kui and them, and there were two in total. Now Zhiqing has one in his hand, and the other one is in Wengen's hand, he has to take care of the vanilla and them, and he must keep one.
The few men brought by the village chief have really become brothers and sisters at this moment. I couldn't leave, so I had to stay and take care of the village chief who was holding his head and screaming in pain. The frequency of his headaches deepened sequentially, a bit like the labor pains of a woman giving birth, and when he was awake, he was no different from a normal person. When the pain started, the whole person's consciousness was confused, and the temperature of his whole body also heated up as his headache intensified, and the soju prepared on the ship was almost used to reduce the fever of the village chief.
The mountain village is so quiet at night, there are all that kind of chirping insects! But on this uninhabited island, there is not even the sound of night bugs, don't you feel strange and frightened?
At the same time, Zhiqing also found a problem, the second reason why there is no life on this island. It's just that since they arrived here, they haven't even seen a bird. I also found that the plants on the island seem to have recently emerged, and many of the most common plant types have undergone small changes.
For example, the leaves of serrated plants become wider and the spines become sharper. For example, the wild strawberries are very large, but they are not edible because the juice that comes out of the strawberries has an unpleasant smell. This is one of the reasons why Zhiqing and Zhong Kui stayed to check it out, although the lake in this backwater bay has undergone historical evolution and changed its name to another name.
Zhong Kui and Zhiqing went to explore the tomb and have not returned.
Wengen was busy for a while, and finally could take a break, and casually glanced at the still water lake as he got out of the shack. At night, it is vast and ethereal, and it is a huge treasure mirror given by nature to the backwater bay. But who knows that this lake tells a lot of untold stories?
The herbs can drink porridge, and the complexion is gradually recovering. As long as she gets better, the rest will be easy. She can see the village chief and take care of Xu Qian.
Xu Qian seemed to be in a dream, her lilac lips twitched slightly. Xiu Mei sometimes frowned, sometimes stretched, she was still trapped in a dream and did not come out. And her hands are still subconsciously caressing her belly.
Xiao Ming seems to be a handyman, and the village chief is also calling him. Wengen couldn't do without him, running back and forth, and the soles of his feet had several blisters.
Xiao Ming can cook, and the makeshift stove is a combination of several large stones. The iron pot was sent by the mountain people of Li Laoqi, and corn paste was their main food.
As the footsteps of night approached, pale blue smoke curled up and mingled with the growing white haze. Can't wait for Zhong Kui and the others to come back, the village chief's group of people seemed to be hungry, and when they saw that the corn paste was boiled, they picked up a bowl of papaya and scooped up a big bowl of corn paste. There is no ground to sit, so he picks up the bowl and squats in front of the shack, a mouthful of pickles, a mouthful of corn paste still feels good, a bit like the taste of a picnic.
When Zhong Kui and Zhiqing came to the tomb, they could see the surroundings, and when they went around the wall, the sky went dark. The flashlight becomes the focal point, and the beam of light sweeps in a circular shape over a limited spatial range.
The atmosphere of dead silence could clearly be heard with the heavy breathing of two people, and some messy footsteps under their feet. Everything here seems to be in a deep sleep, and the only thing that can feel that this is the feeling of real space is the cold feeling of the haze above the head converging into water droplets, dripping on the head.
Fog! Zhong Kui looked up at the increasingly thick haze overhead. A hint of worry crept into my heart, and I suddenly remembered the situation in Backwater Bay. I couldn't help but shudder, and this thought immediately popped into my mind; Smog has toxins! "Uncle Chen, let's come and see ...... tomorrow"
"It's all here? How do you think of changing your mind? Zhiqing turned up the flashlight and shook it on Zhong Kui's face.
Ya's flashlight beam pierced him and quickly squinted his eyes. Silently pointing to the haze gathering above his head, he whispered to Zhiqing, "Look at ......"
Isn't it? Zhiqing, who didn't think there was anything just now, was stunned. On top of both of them, no! It should be the sky above the entire uninhabited island, and unconsciously, a layer of haze that resembles a heavy curtain has gathered. There is a problem with smog, and this matter is known in Backwater Bay.
Zhiqing knew what Zhong Kui was worried about. If there is a problem in the smog, then the two of them go to the tomb again, and if the tomb is lurking in danger, then it will be a big problem. Another problem is Wengen's situation, if there is something hidden in the haze, maybe they will be wiped out tonight.
"Withdraw!" Zhiqing agreed with Zhong Kui's suggestion, and the two turned around and ran back, and the haze blocked the strafing of the flashlight. It's like an insurmountable wall of fog, refracting the light that sweeps on the fog wall, and the scene looks really weird.
Zhong Kui followed closely by Zhiqing's side, his fingers clasped the Five Emperors' coins, ready to attack at any time.
The haze was thick and unpredictable, and Zhiqing faintly felt that something was wandering in the haze, so he stopped in a panic and turned his head to look...... A shadow whirled, like lightning.
"Did you see that?" His voice trembled.
"See." Zhong Kui's unchanged thick and calm tone didn't seem to pay attention to these hidden things at all. It seems that all this happened completely expected by him, and he had long known that when he came to an uninhabited island, things would not be so simple.
With Zhong Kui by his side, the nervous Zhiqing stabilized slightly. At this moment, from the haze, there was the sound of footsteps of 'poof~poof~poof', as if many people were practicing walking in place.
"What sound?"
"It's fine!" Zhong Kui still looks confident. "Uncle Chen, you follow me, and you will turn if I turn around." As they spoke, the two of them turned their backs to each other, facing the enveloping haze, and vigilantly swept the things in the haze.
'Poof~poof~poof~' footsteps sounded around him, and some blurred figures appeared in the haze. Zhong Kui saw it, and Zhiqing also saw it, this is a team of island soldiers who once saw it on TV.
"It's okay, these are ordinary ghosts." Zhong Kui told Zhiqing Dao closely. At this moment, the sound of Qi brushing and brushing stepped abruptly beside the two of them...... There was a 'click' sound in the haze that seemed to be pulling the bolt, which was crisp and real.
