All Chapters_Chapter 45 Man Eats Man: The Cave
I immediately grabbed Xiao Nuoyan's hand and hurriedly looked around. After all, this is a barren mountain, so you can run in any direction. But Xiao and I both carried backpacks, but these men didn't, and they probably had already put their supplies somewhere for temporary storage. In this way, if we run away, we will definitely not be as fast as them!
But the backpack can't be lost, once the backpack is lost, it's a dead end.
"Let's go!"
I let out a loud shout and ran quickly down the mountain with Xiao Nuoyan, his face was pale with fright, and he screamed in his mouth. Brother Zhong and the others were dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to chase after us again.
Why?
Because it's a barren mountain!
People who are used to living in the city don't know that you can't run when you're going down the mountain, because you won't be able to stop and you'll keep running. Don't stop unless you get to a flat spot or if you fall.
And this is a barren mountain, which has not been developed. Xiao Nuoyan and I ran down like crazy, even if there was a cliff in front of us, we wouldn't have time to stop!
Brother Zhong and the others naturally gave up on me, after all, this is a desperate way to escape. I heard the wind whirring in my ears, and Xiao Nuoyan said in horror: "What to do! What to do! ”
"I can only run!"
I also said irritably, we can't stop the car at all now, and my legs are already running a little painfully. The road in the mountains was slippery, and we almost fell several times, but we jumped hard and ran faster.
At that moment, a big tree appeared in front of me, and I hurriedly said, "Run to the tree, and jump up and kick it, you know!" ”
"Understood!"
Xiao Nuoyan nodded, because the two of us were running fast, when he just finished speaking, we had already arrived in front of the tree.
At this point, I jumped hard and kicked my legs hard against the tree. The branch shook vigorously a few times, and I fell to the ground with a pop, but luckily my backpack blocked my back, but it hurt terribly.
Xiao Nuoyan also kicked it, but his foot slipped, and his body restrained not only falling towards me, but also smashed into my chest, I screamed in pain, Xiao Nuoyan quickly got up and asked me if I was okay.
I knelt on the ground in discomfort, spat a few hard times, and waved my hand to say I was fine. Xiao Nuoyan said apologetically, "I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay, if it weren't for me pulling you to follow you, I wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing......," I said, waving my hand, "Let's go, go ahead and have a look, I don't know where I'm running now." ”
Indeed, we were surrounded by mountains and forests, and we really didn't know where we had gone. This is the disadvantage of being in a barren mountain, and it is difficult to distinguish the road.
"There seems to be the sound of flowing water." Xiao Nuoyan said.
I also listened carefully, and found that there was really the sound of water flowing below, and immediately smiled: "It's really a mountain and a heavy water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." I thought it was going to be dangerous, but I didn't think it would allow us to find a water source. Let's go, go and see, if there are animals in the mountains, it will most likely go for water, or we can catch a few fish. ”
Xiao Nuoyan hummed, and the two of us stood up and helped each other to walk down the mountain.
"Whoa......
The sound of running water is getting closer and closer, as if we can see the river if we walk further down a small slope. Xiao Nuoyan and I were in a good mood and walked forward, but after passing a slope, we were stunned.
This...... There really is a stream, and it's easy to walk to the stream.
But......
Beside the stream, dozens of corpses were left here, most of them already in tatters, and they were the remains of humans!
"This ...... This ......"
We were both dumbfounded, and Xiao Nuoyan subconsciously grabbed my sleeve, obviously frightened by this scene. I gritted my teeth and said, "This is probably a gathering place for the contestants to eat people in the past, they brought the corpses here to eat them, threw the bones here, and then walked across the river and continued to hide in the mountains." ”
Xiao Nuoyan said suspiciously: "How do you know that they crossed the river?" ”
"Since it's a barren mountain, it's likely that there are wild beasts, and they're worried that if one of them isn't dealt with properly, the corpses may encounter zombie......s," I said, "and the flowing water can block the smell, and after the contestants cross the river, they don't have to worry about the wild beasts that they attract to attack them in the middle of the night, and most of the beasts will eat some of the leftover meat on the bones and leave." Also, I remember that zombies are afraid of water, they can't swim. ”
Xiao Nuoyan shook his head and said: "I also have some understanding of zombies, it is impossible for zombies to be born in this situation, because it is not closed, and the yin qi will spread." But you're right, crossing the river can block out the smell of food. The key is...... What do we do next? I mean, is this water still going to be taken away? ”
We looked at the dozens of corpses beside the stream, and our hearts were very hesitant.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and said, "Bring it, why don't you bring it?" These are the remains of corpses that have been left over for many years, and even if they are recent, they are months old. In a few months, nature's purifying power can absolutely purify the stream, and you can see that the corpses have long since been dried and only the bones remain. ”
"That'...... Bring it. ”
Xiao Nuoyan also gritted his teeth and nodded, and we cautiously walked to the stream. There is no smell here, after all, the corpse has been left for several months, even if it is rotten, it has already decomposed, how can there be a smell, it just looks seeping.
We took out the kettle from our backpack and filled it up, Xiao Promise said scaredly and said hurry up, I shook my head and said, "Promise, have you ever thought about something." ”
"What's the matter?"
"In the past, if the contestants had crossed the river after eating food, they would have found a place to hide across the river. If we cross the river here, we might find a safe place, and with your food, we might be able to survive for three days. ”
Xiao Nuoyan's eyes lit up: "You mean, there may be habitation wreckage across the river?" ”
"yes, we should go over and have a look." I said.
Xiao Nuoyan hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go." ”
The creek was not deep, and although it was quite wide, it could only reach our knees at its highest. We walked across the creek, which was a rocky beach with few trees. Xiao Nuoyan looked around, and he asked, "Can there really be habitation wreckage here?" ”
I cautiously looked around, and suddenly, there was something white on the ground, and I hurriedly took a few steps forward.
It was an empty pack of cigarettes, the outer packaging had been turned white by the sun. I picked up the cigarette case and smiled, "Look, someone has definitely been here." ”
"Then let's look for it." Xiao Promise also has confidence.
We walked down the stream to the bottom of the rocky beach, and after walking for about two minutes, Xiao Nuoyan suddenly pointed in one direction and said, "Look at that." ”
I looked in the direction he was pointing, and it turned out that there was a natural cave, and this cave was on a low ground. For example, if our current location is the first floor, the location of the cave is considered the basement.
The water of the creek flows into the natural cavern with a rumbling sound. There must be another end to this cave, otherwise it would have been filled with a lake. Xiao Nuoyan said excitedly: "This is it, they must be hiding here." Ghosts are actually quite afraid of water, so they hide here. Li Dong, we have found the right place! ”
I was also very excited, I didn't expect that it was only the first day, and the effect would be so good. I took out a cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile, "Let's go and have a look in the cave." ”
We entered the natural cave, where the water could only reach our calves, because the cave was very large, and the little water in the creek was not enough to impact it, so it looked quite calm.
"Click, click."
There would be a sound as we walked, and Xiao Nuoyan smiled: "It's really lucky, although the cave is very dark, it is definitely a good place to hide from ghosts and contestants." ”
It's dark in the cave......
Wrong! There was one thing we overlooked!
"Promise, we seem to have forgotten one thing......" I shuddered, muttering.
Promise asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
I shuddered, and as I stepped back, I muttered, "At night, ghosts really don't like to come, because ghosts are afraid of water...... But they are more afraid of sunlight than water, so during the day, they need a place to hide from the sun. ”
Xiao Nuoyan was stunned, he was also too scared: "What do you mean......"
"Whoa!"
At this moment, a pale hand suddenly stretched out from the calm water and grabbed my foot tightly!
