Brother Hong and those little brothers also woke up, and there was a sound of dismantling the door and window panels outside, and it seemed that the boss had also gotten up to work.

As soon as the door panel was opened, the sunlight came in, and when I looked at the watch, it was already eight o'clock.

We cleaned up and followed the route provided by the hostess and drove away.

After driving for another half a day, the road in this place became more and more difficult to walk, and from time to time there were some quagmires or something, which stuck our car in it, and we had to get down and push the cart.

When it was almost noon, I saw a lot of cars parked in a place in the distance.

This place is not a tourist destination, and the cars parked are obviously the same people who came here yesterday.

We drove to that place, and it was actually eight Humvees, and it seemed that they were much richer than us.

Brother Hong got out of the car, looked at the car for a long time, and said: "I'll go, I didn't pull out the car keys, it's really okay, they are so relieved." ”

I looked around, it was no longer desolate, not far away was a sparse grove, and further on, a faint layer of mist floated up.

There are still some footprints on the ground, and because this place is muddy, those footprints are still obvious.

Looking at the direction of the footprints, it is towards the grove.

Brother Hong came over at this time, patted me, interrupted me from deep thought, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

I came back to my senses, thinking just now that these people walked in with such peace of mind, it seemed that there should be no danger here, and said, "This place can't be lost." ”

Brother Hong smiled and said, "You kid, you can't be so deep, if it's not a serious matter, your son never talks much." ”

I smiled bitterly, I really didn't pretend to be deep, I just didn't like to talk very much, especially in this situation, isn't it a waste of energy to talk more.

Those little brothers have already received all the equipment in their backpacks, and Brother Hong and I also have one each.

We pinned the gun to our waist and replaced it with military boots that we had found, and in this kind of place, it was still military boots that could withstand it.

Walking in the footsteps of the other party, I felt that this road was really difficult to walk, and from time to time I would slip on the mud.

Soon they reached the grove, where the trees were so sparse that they could not keep out the sun, and the ground was still the same muddy, with occasional bushes.

There was also a trace of a fire in the forest, I am afraid that the other party had eaten here, I looked at the sky, it was already noon at this time.

We also took a break here and ate a bite to eat, and here, the water is the most precious, so it's all distributed according to the amount.

After resting for a while, just in time when the sun was a little west and not so hot, we continued on our way. Slowly, a mist appeared in the forest, and the surroundings began to blur.

Fortunately, this fog is not big, and with a flashlight, you can still see the route ahead.

After walking a short time, there were no trees around, and the fog had faded, but there was still a layer of fog floating.

And before our eyes, a large swamp appeared at this time.

This swamp is not exactly mud, there is a sheep intestine path into the swamp, surrounded by waterholes and mud pools, plus fog, you can't see far at all.

Brother Hong took a look at it and asked me, "Do you see if there is anything wrong with this place?" ”

I looked at him strangely, a little unsure of what he meant, and asked, "No, do you see that?" ”

"Nope." Brother Hong shook his head and said, "I'm not in this business, how can I see it, so I'm asking you." ”

I smiled wryly and said, "The ancient city is under the swamp. ”

Brother Hong's face changed and said, "No, we really want to dive?" ”

I'm also thinking about this in my heart, logically speaking, diving is definitely not going to happen, diving in this place, you can't go down.

So what the proprietress said, there must be another explanation, but we don't know it yet.

Hearing Brother Hong ask, I had no choice but to shake my head and say, "Just kidding, I'm going to dive you!" ”

Brother Hong looked around, obviously knowing that diving was unlikely.

"This fog is broken, you can't see anything, okay, let's go in first and take a look, one step at a time."

He waved his hand, and immediately two younger brothers walked forward, they were exploring the way.

These two had practiced before, they pulled out their guns and walked slowly towards the depths of the swamp, Brother Hong and I followed behind them, and the others behind us.

The surrounding fog is faint and does not disperse, and the humidity is particularly heavy, which makes people very uncomfortable.

After walking for a long time, I suddenly saw a half-human-high black shadow in the mist.

The two younger brothers in front immediately raised their guns and aimed at that side.

Brother Hong and I were also taken aback, and immediately squatted down, pulled out our guns and pointed them in front.

The black shadow was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and after half a day's effort, the black shadow didn't move.

"Probably not alive." Brother Hong whispered at this time.

I looked at the black shadow, it was true that I hadn't moved for a long time, although my heart was like playing a drum, but I took two deep breaths, calmed down and said, "Go over and have a look." ”

Slowly leaning forward, I held the gun in my hand, and walked forward for a distance, and the black shadow slowly appeared, just a pile of stones.

We all took a long breath and pinned the gun back to our waists, and Brother Hong said with a smile as he walked: "I was so scared by the proprietress that the broken rocks were taken seriously." ”

I smiled too, and thought so to myself.

This pile of stones was built on the side of a three-way road, which happened to divide the road we came from into two branches, one left and one right.

Brother Hong looked at the compass we bought and said, "One to the southeast, the other to the southwest, which way to go?" ”

I looked around, and who knew if the ruined city was in the east or west, and the map was only halfway there, and there was no such swamp.

Now we can only look at luck, so we said, "I don't know, let's choose one first." ”

"Done." Brother Hong pointed to the road on the left and said, "That's it, let's go." ”

The little brothers immediately walked over there, and Brother Hong and I followed in the middle, and walked for a while, and a black shadow appeared in front of us again, and we walked towards that side vigilantly, and when we got closer, it was actually another stone pile, two forked roads.

When Brother Hong saw the stone pile, he said, "It's not going to be coming back again." Look at this pile of stones, it's the same. ”

I nodded, this is really strange, did we go back to the same way after a long detour, and the younger brother said at this time: "Big brother, let's go to the other side this time." ”

I looked at Brother Hong, just in time to catch up with him who was also looking at me, seeing that I didn't react, he smiled at me and said, "Brother, let's go." ”

We set off again, walking to the right, the scene around us was the same, there was no reference, and after walking for a while, a dark shadow appeared again in front of us.

We were all stunned, this dark shadow was too familiar.

I glanced at Brother Hong, what is the situation? We immediately picked up speed and rushed over quickly, and sure enough, it was another pile of rocks.

The pile of stones was completely piled up with stones, little by little, about half a person high, and in the middle of the pile of stones, there was a large red stone, very obvious, the same as the one I had seen before.

A few of us stood there, looking at the familiar pile of stones, not knowing where we had gone.

Brother Hong said: "No, it's back again, what's going on, is it a ghost hitting the wall?" ”

Ghost hitting the wall? I tried to recall the roads we had just walked, and although those roads were similar, they still changed more or less, and they were not completely heavy, so I said, "In broad daylight, how can there be ghosts." ”

"So what's going on? Could it be that this pile of stones will move? Brother Hong said, and then as if he remembered something, he waved his hand to a little brother next to him, and the little brother immediately stepped forward, went to the front of the stone pile, and looked at it for a long time before coming back and saying, "It's true." ”

Brother Hong looked at me and said, "Is it a ghost hitting the wall?" ”

I shook my head, already deciding that it was obvious that there was no way that a ghost would hit the wall in this place, so I said, "No, so let's make a sign, and then walk forward." ”

This is the best way I can provide now, Brother Hong thought for a while, nodded, and immediately a little brother took out a red cloth strip and pressed the red cloth strip on the stone pile with a stone. This is more or less a sign.

We turned to the left again and continued walking. In the distance, the shadow of the stone pile appeared, very conspicuous in the mist.

I immediately felt my heart beat faster, and in a few steps I did, and the pile of rocks reappeared in front of us.

However, at the top of the pile, there was no strip of red cloth.

Brother Hong also followed at this time, glanced at the stone pile, and said, "Isn't it the one we walked by?" ”

I nodded, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground, as long as it wasn't a ghost hitting the wall, after all, there was such a thing as a ghost, and it should be difficult for us to compete with him.

But now it seems that this is something that has been artificially created, probably to protect the innermost thing.

I thought for a moment and said, "Make another mark, and we'll keep walking." ”

Immediately, a little brother came up and pressed the red cloth strips, and we randomly chose a direction and walked again.

I've always thought about these piles of stones, and I always feel as if there's something we haven't noticed, and how can they be the same when they have any purpose, or something that shows the way?

However, at this time, it was impossible for anyone to jump out and give me an answer, so I had to think about it in my heart and follow along.

In the distance, another shadow appeared in front of us, another pile of stones.

A few of us stood in front of the stone pile, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this place is too evil, and after walking for so long, we still see this stone pile.

I looked at Brother Hong, who was also looking at me, and I said after a long time: "Let's do it this time, let's make a mark and walk back." ”

Brother Hong nodded and said, "Yes, it's good to see if we can go back, in case we can't get out, it's troublesome." ”

My heart was shocked, and I suddenly thought of a terrible thing, Brother Hong probably saw that my face changed, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I shuddered, and I had a bad feeling in my heart. I immediately said, "Quick, make a mark, let's go back." ”

The little brothers apparently didn't understand what I meant, so they made a mark, and we turned and walked the way we came.

Because it's a big platform, it's split into three branches.

At this time, we were about to go back, only to find that on the road we came, at the intersection of the left and right and the other two forks, there were two other stone piles, exactly like the ones we had just seen.
