ACT 168: Late at night
acT168 said: Late at night, when people are moving towards the unknown end, they always feel that the road is long, they have walked for a long time, but the destination is still far away, the more tired they are, the more tired they feel, the more they feel that the road is long.
And when they reached the end and turned back to the starting point, they immediately felt different, the long road they complained about when they came didn't seem to be that far, and looking at their watches, it didn't seem to take too much time.
Song Jiu and the others also felt this way at this time, although the road under their feet was still difficult, but the distance was not as retreating as before.
When he went out, Song Jiu glanced at his watch, the two walked through the dense forest before the camp, walked through the muddy barren grassland along the traces of coming, identified the direction, and reached the bottom of the steep slope without stopping...... Half the time.
Since the distance is far from as far as imagined, why haven't Song Yao and the others caught up yet? Song Jiu touched his beating eyelids, and secretly laughed at himself in his heart, if it was in an ancient city surrounded by strong enemies, it was indeed dangerous to leave a few of them alone.
But on this empty and depressed national highway, will an experienced female player like Song Yao and Luo Yu have an accident?
Song Jiu was sure that it wouldn't, unless the foreign girl had been secretly staring at them. Jimbo didn't have so many ideas, left a mark in a conspicuous place, rolled up his sleeves and climbed up, this kind of slope down has the danger of rolling down, but it is safer to go up, at most it takes some effort, they don't have anything else, so they don't lack strength.
The footprints of two hours ago are still clearly recognizable, and the traces of the team's trampling and friction are obvious, so you don't have to worry about going in the wrong direction if you climb up.
There was a sound in the dense grass and bushes on the slope, and the night insects were sleepless, silently watching the two big meat insects wriggling upward, making a few low noises from time to time, and I didn't know whether it was encouragement or ridicule.
It was still about half an hour, and the two of them successfully reached the position where they descended along the rope, and the two safety ropes were quietly attached to the cliff wall, and the buckle fixed at the end was not unfastened, and it was obvious that no one had come down after them.
Song Jiu frowned, held back the stupid uneasiness in his heart, unbuckled and handed the rope to Jin Bo.
He had a hand injury and was climbing too slowly, so Jimbo reached out and got him up first, and he could help pull it.
Jin Bo spat at the palm of his hand, fastened the safety rope, grinned, like an ape, and climbed up to the top after a few rubs, so fast without lighting, there was no other idea than smacking his tongue.
Song Jiu stood at the bottom, looking up with his neck bent, and Jin Bo would give him a signal every other distance until he couldn't see his figure clearly, and the faint light of the firebolt still lit up from time to time.
A few minutes later, the two ropes vibrated rhythmically, and Jimbo was safe to the top. Song Jiu moved his sour shoulders, fixed his body and was about to step on the pitons to go up, when he suddenly heard a sound behind him, hurriedly turned his head over, and shouted: "Come out!" ”
"Me, me, me!" Yang Xiaomeng's voice came from the slope, and after a while, she climbed up with a gray face.
Song Jiu frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Follow us? ”
"Big brother, you are doing well, I am also tired enough, how can I have the heart to follow you." Yang Xiaomeng looked complaining, her long hair was tied behind her head, and her thick makeup had been smeared with sweat and turned into a rather scary smoky makeup.
"What's the matter?"
"Isn't this afraid that you will get lost, and the old lady will not be able to come over as a free tour guide?" Yang Xiaomeng was very helpless, he could guess that the two of them should be going to pick up their companions who stayed on the road, but he was curious why they didn't come to him, the leading party.
Originally, he didn't take it seriously, but Cao Zheng was a little worried, so he picked Yang Xiaomeng to follow and take a look, Cao Zheng didn't worry about anything else, he was afraid that if the two of them got lost in the barren mountains and mountains, those thugs who stayed in the courtyard would detain the basin to them, it would be really indefensible.
Song Jiu laughed dryly, and after a little thought, he figured it out, and at the same time relaxed his vigilance, he was here and came, and he couldn't rush people back, and he was also a native here, and it was always a good thing to have a living map by his side.
The two climbed onto the national highway one after another, and Yang Xiaomeng's sudden appearance gave Jimbo another startle, and he didn't say anything more after a few simple explanations.
After checking the place in situ, there was nothing else except the footprints left before, and turned back along the same path, only to find that the small fire on the other side of the col had been extinguished, and Song Yao and Luo Yu were nowhere to be seen.
Song Jiu took a deep breath repeatedly, forcibly shielded the mixed thoughts in his mind, his brows twisted into twists, approached the fire and tested the temperature, and said strangely: "It's still hot." ”
"Didn't you say waiting..."Jin Bo was also a little puzzled, Song Yao was not the kind of person who had nothing to do, and said that he would wait here, and he would definitely not leave for no reason.
Yang Xiaomeng is not surprised at all, in his opinion, Song Jiu's arrangement at that time means that the follow-up will not go well, and there is no other reason, because horror movies are all like this.
The young people who died went to the wilderness, for some reason they went their separate ways, one team must tell not to run around, and the other team must live up to expectations and scatter wild, and the later plot is that the first people who spread the wild are all dead, and the other team is also dead one by one when they are looking for them...... Yang Xiaomeng was suddenly a little nervous, judging from the development of this plot, didn't he just join the team of subsequent deaths?
Death to death, what to do?!
"Song wine, this way." Just as Yang Xiaomeng was thinking wildly, Jin Bo, who was groping in the mountain col, seemed to have found something and waved Song Jiu over.
It's a message, written by Luo Yu. Song Jiu was taken aback, squatted down and turned on the lighter, and saw the words cut out of the land by the slight firelight.
Jimbo also saw it by mistake, so the two of them made a mistake in their previous judgment.
I thought that Song Yao and the others would leave not long ago, but now that I think about it, maybe they have been walking for a while, and they should not have extinguished the fire when they left, otherwise it would be pitch black, and such a message would be really difficult to find.
'Let's go ahead, Lowe. On the back are also drawn the personal security symbols that they have previously selected. A very inexplicable sentence.
"Ahead?" Jimbo looked up left and right, puzzled, "Why did you go?" ”
"I don't know, maybe what's going on......" Song Jiu didn't have a clue, everything was as usual here, there was no trace of the walking corpses, the only possibility was that the two people looking for the car had not returned for a long time, Song Yao couldn't rest assured, and it was not good to act separately, so the two of them planned to go to the front to see the situation, but Song Jiu and the others couldn't see anyone in a hurry when they came back, so they left such a signal.
Needless to say, of course they wouldn't go back as if they didn't do anything in this situation, so they checked the surroundings carefully, and after confirming that there were no other strange things, they prepared to go along the wide and deep highway to find someone.
Unexpectedly, the three of them had just walked not far away, and a snowy beam of light shot out from the corner in front of them! Song Jiu and the three of them were stunned together, and hurriedly rushed across the corner, looking up, it was Yang Xiaomeng's car.
"A false alarm." Jin Bo breathed a long sigh of relief and patted his chest in a matter-of-fact manner. Song Jiu nodded silently, also relieved, but there was only one car, and it was estimated that the graduate student and Yu An could not find a suitable car, and in the end, the four of them could only return first.
Sure enough, the headlights illuminated the figures of the three people, the high beam switched to the low beam, and the speed slowed down, and in a few blinks of an eye, the Roewe car slowly stopped in front of the three people with wind and dust.
As the car approached and stopped, the relaxation on Song Jiu and Jin Bo's faces quietly dissipated, turning into astonishment and anger...... The car was still the same car, but it was unrecognizable, the royal blue front hood was dented into a few very conspicuous large pits, the headlights that were not lit there were completely shattered, and viscous blood splashed from the headlights to the windshield, and in the middle of the front windshield, two spider web cracks of different sizes appeared.
The car door opened, and Luo Yu and Song Yao got out of the car one after another, with only indescribable anxiety on their faces, and the comfort of seeing a few people waiting here.
Song Jiu greeted the second daughter, didn't care about asking questions, checked back and forth, and first confirmed that the two of them were safe and sound.
Needless to say, Yang Xiaomeng can see that something is definitely wrong, it was obviously the other two people who drove away, but it was the two girls who stayed behind who came back at this time.
"Get in the car first." Song Yao's face was very ugly, she pulled the car door and sat in the co-pilot, Luo Yu looked apologetic, sighed, and returned to the cab.
Song Jiu and a few people got into the car one after another, and when they sat in, they found that the windows on both sides had been shattered, and there was also a spider web crack in the rear windshield.
Luo Yu didn't say much, turned the car and drove straight out again.
"We waited an hour." Song Yao asked Song Jiu for a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, put her elbow on the side of the neutral window, her eyebrows and eyes in the rearview mirror were full of haggardness, and her voice was full of exhaustion: "It's been too long, so I asked Luo Yu to go with me to find out, there is no fork in this road, if they are on the way back, I think they should be able to meet." Song Yao slowly exhaled a puff of green smoke, shook her head very weakly, and there was a bit of self-reproach in her tone: "Jiujiu, you are really too careless this time, you shouldn't just let the two of them go!" Song Jiu was speechless, it was obvious that something had happened to the two, and this pot should be his.
If others say this about Song wine, Luo Yu who is driving must be the first to be unhappy, Mengfan is unreasonable towards Song wine, and Luo Yu always helps him shake the pot with reason, but this time, Luo Yu did not make a sound.
"We didn't find out too far, we were there right away." Song Yao sighed, pointed to the 'accident-prone section ahead' sign on the side of the road, and said, "Do you know what this means?" Song Jiu didn't make a sound, he only felt a dry throat, of course he knew, this meant that something happened not long after the two left, and they might still be sitting around discussing the way back at that time.
Luo Yu held the steering wheel steadily, turned the continuous corners with frequent accidents, and stopped the car suddenly.
The headlights were shining, and there was a pool of red and dazzling blood in front of the front of the car, and broken glass shards all over the ground. Song Jiu's pupils shrank, opened the car door with trembling hands, slowly walked to the bloodstains, squatted down, and dipped his hands, the blood was cold and not yet coagulated.
