Xiao Jing stepped on the land at the entrance of the village with the help of a thick tree root, and his wet foot tube hung up in the water.

Everyone climbed up with each other, then took off their shoes, poured out the water in the shoes, and twisted the water on the trouser leg by the way. When the wind blows, it is really cool from the bottom to the top.

Shi Wei looked at the entrance of this village, exactly the same as the village before they entered, the tall trees at the entrance of the village were entwined with strangled banyan trees, countless aerial roots hanging down, and moss-covered houses...... The only difference is that the houses are still intact and not damaged.

"Guo Enming......" Mo Mo pulled Guo Enming's hand, a little nervous.

"What's wrong?" Guo Enming held her hand and saw that her face was a little ugly, "Is it cold?" ”

Momo slowly pulled up her trousers, only to see several leeches stuck to her white ankles and calves, sucking greedily.

"Leeches!" Guan Yang hurriedly pulled up his trousers to check it, but fortunately, his legs were clean.

"Don't be afraid." Guo Enming wanted to help Mo Mo catch these leeches, but as soon as he caught one, she left a small bite mark on her foot, and she was still bleeding.

"Does it hurt?" Guo Enming asked her.

Momo shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, but it's a little numb." ”

"Don't catch it." Cao Xi walked over, took out a small bottle of white liquid from his backpack, and sprayed it on the leeches, they quickly tightened their bodies and fell off their legs naturally.

"What is this?" Guo Enming just asked, thought for a moment and said, "Salt water? ”

"Saline." Cao Xi put the bottle away, took out an alcohol swab from his bag and wiped Momo's injured skin, and finally used a cotton swab to smear some iodine wine on her.

"Thank you." Momo said to her.

"It's fine." Cao Xi packed up his things and walked to Shi Wei's side, "Have we arrived at our destination?" ”

"Maybe." Shi Wei took out a notebook from her backpack, flipped it open and checked it carefully, Cao Xi leaned over to take a look, there was a hand-drawn book in it, which looked very much like this village.

Could it be that is what led them here?

Cao Xi was just about to walk forward, but Shi Wei stopped her: "Wait a minute." ”

Everyone was still in the same place, and it was no longer urgent to reach the entrance of the village.

"What's wrong? Isn't it here? Cao Xi asked, "Why are you all hesitating?" I always thought you were very decisive. ”

Everyone looked at each other, as if they were looking for the right person to answer the question.

"That's because I'm afraid." Xiao Jing was the first to stand up and said with a smile, "No one knows what is here, and people will inevitably be afraid." ”

"If it's just an ordinary village, do you have anything to fear?" Cao Xi couldn't help but ask, "Is it really as you guessed before, there will be zombies here?" ”

Xiao Jing shifted her gaze to Shi Wei, and she just smiled slightly as relieved: "Because we haven't been here before, and this place has been abandoned for more than fifty years, so we must be cautious, otherwise it is easy to get lost in the village." ”

Cao Xi looked at Shi Wei, her eyes were as sincere as her words.

"Okay." Cao Xi looked serious, "I don't have as much experience as you. ”

Shi Wei was still smiling: "It's okay." ”

"Then can you find a place to light a fire first?" Guan Yang couldn't help but urge, "The pants and shoes are wet, it's very cold." ”

"Then let's go inside."

Xiao Jing said, leading everyone to the village. He picked up a pointed stone and scraped a cross on the front of the village.

The first thing you feel when you enter this village is that it is almost exactly the same as the previous village, as if it had not been destroyed. The walls are intact, and the glass on the windows reveals their thin images.

In the canal beside the road, there is a clear stream.

"Is the water here drinkable?" Guan Yang asked.

"I don't know yet." Guo Enming filled a bottle of water, which looked much cleaner than the previous village, "Observe it and talk about it." ”

Cao Xi looked at this village, there was no human population, but the plants were growing very well. Almost every front was covered with creepers, trying to hide these white houses inside.

Without going through a corner, Xiao Jing would make a mark in a conspicuous position, much more cautious than the previous village. Mo Mo walked a little slowly because of the wound on her foot, and Guo Enming kept supporting her.

"This is the village you are coming to in Shuixi Village?" Cao Xi walked a few steps briskly and rushed to Shi Wei's side.

"Looks like it should be." Shi Wei continued to walk, but in Cao Xi's opinion, they didn't seem to have a goal.

"Why is this called Shuixi Village?" Cao Xi asked.

"The name of Shuixi Village comes from the fact that there are many streams flowing in the town because it is backed by mountains and waters. Later, it was rebuilt, and a water tank was built around the life distribution of the whole town to guide the flow of these streams, so that one part of it flows into the reservoir and becomes the domestic water of the local residents. Xiao Jing explained, "Look at the canals here, they all flow along the house. ”

"And what about the village we entered earlier?" Cao Xi questioned, "Isn't it also like this?" ”

Shi Wei stopped, and everyone also stopped.

"Because there's nothing we're looking for." Shi Wei turned her head and looked at Cao Xi and smiled slightly, the smile was a little different.

"What's that?"

Guan Yang stepped forward and pulled Xiao Jing's arm: "It's getting dark, let's make a fire here, our feet are cold." ”

Xiao Jing looked around, and there seemed to be a piece of ground in front of him that was more spacious, so he camped in front and burned the fire.

"Then you girls wait here, and a few of us will look for any dry branches." Xiao Jing greeted Guo Enming and Guan Yang, and led them to look for a place with many trees on the side.

It was already getting dark, and the lonely village was constantly exuding a cold and terrifying atmosphere.

"What are you looking for?" Cao Xi looked at Shi Wei.

Shi Wei put down the backpack on her body and replied to her, "We want to find that laboratory." ”

"Lab?"

"Yes." Shi Wei took a deep breath, "It is said that the collapse of Shuixi Village was due to a laboratory leak, which not only polluted the entire town, but also infected hundreds of people, including the experimenters at that time. ”

Cao Xi suddenly felt a chill in his back, opened his eyes wide and asked, "That'...... Are there really zombies? ”

Shi Wei smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, it was indeed the infected crowd that turned into the walking dead at that time, but when the army entered, there was nothing here." ”

"None?"

"Yes, all of a sudden, the entire Shuixi Village is a lifeless and no-man's land."

Cao Xi stood stunned until the boy picked up the branch and started to make a fire.

"What are you talking about?" Guan Yang sensed a strange atmosphere.

"Nothing." Shi Wei squatted down and helped live.

Cao Xi took out the mobile phone in her pocket, which should have made her even more scared, there was no signal at all.

"Did you bring your cell phones?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Why don't you bring it?" Cao Xi suddenly became angry, "How do you contact people outside?" ”

"Don't be nervous." Shi Wei stood up, "I have a phone with me, and I have contacted the driver, he will come to pick us up." ”

"But, there's no signal!"

"Don't worry, you'll have it when you leave the village."

"How can I not be in a hurry?" Cao Xi's speech quickened, "There has been no one here for more than fifty years, if there is really something, how can you contact people outside?" ”

Everyone was silent at the moment, watching how Shi Wei solved her question.

"We're here for thrills." Shi Wei smiled and said, "Aren't you the same?" ”

Cao Xi gasped, feeling that he was completely cheated this time: "That's what I said, but I didn't expect to lose contact......"

"Okay, it's all here, don't be afraid of anything, investment is the most important thing."

"Where you come, you are safe." Guo Enming also spoke, "At present, we haven't found a laboratory yet, if we do, that's the main thing!" ”

"Hmm." Cao Xizhi pouted, thinking that he was thinking too much, "Okay, then so be it." ”

The fire finally burned before dark, illuminating their surroundings, and Guan Yang sat close to the fire to make his feet comfortable.

"How did you know about this place?" Cao Xi hugged his knees and looked at the firelight.

Shi Wei took out the yellowed and old notebook and said to Cao Xi: "This is my grandfather's notebook, they used to be the first batch of people to enter here to investigate, and it has been thirty years since the leak. It is said that those who come here still hear footsteps and talking at night. ”

Everyone listened attentively, holding their breath.

"Later, some people who like to explore the supernatural began to learn about this place, but these people entered Shuixi Village, and they all went and never returned, which made this town even more confusing."

"Can we go back then?" Cao Xi asked nervously.

"Don't worry." Shi Wei smiled and picked up the notebook, "Isn't my grandfather coming back?" Brought back this notebook. ”

"What's in there?"

Shi Wei briefly flipped through it and told her: "In addition to marking this village, he also said that there were many kinds of experiments left in the laboratory that were used for research at that time, as well as various magical potions...... He also wanted to know what experiments they were doing at the time. ”

"He didn't find out?"

"At that time, there were eight of them, and only two people came back, one I don't know who it was, and the other was my grandfather."

Shi Wei said calmly: "But he has never told me about the investigation. It was also on the day he died of old age that I found this notebook among his belongings. So I started researching. ”

"And you all want to know the secrets of this lab?" Cao Xi glanced at everyone.

"Yes." Xiao Jing replied affirmatively.

"Okay." Cao Xi looked at them, "It's really exciting, but I don't have a clue at all, I don't have such experience." ”

"None of us." Shi Wei replied, "The previous hiking expeditions were all training, for this moment to solve this big problem." ”

"Are you sure then?" Cao Xi looked at Shi Wei.

"Maybe." Shi Wei put the notebook back in her bag, "At least we have the manual." ”

After a few words, everyone began to prepare for the night, set up tents, and prepared some food.

"Why don't you live in the house?" Cao Xi asked again, "At least it's still intact, it can block the wind." ”

Guan Yang laughed: "These dangerous buildings, aren't you afraid that they will collapse in the middle of the night?" ”

"Not really, right?"

"It's not going to collapse, but the condition of the house is unknown, and he's afraid that there are ghosts." Guo Enming said as he set up a tent.

"I'm not that timid." Guan Yang was not convinced, "I'll ...... today" but he quickly shut up again, "It's nothing, let's set up a tent." ”

When everyone was done, the sky became clammy and cold with darkness.

Guo Enming took out the water he received in the village and studied it carefully against the bonfire.

"How?" Guan Yang asked, "Can you drink it?" ”

Guo Enming is not very sure: "It seems to be much cleaner than before, but for the sake of safety, let's observe it again." ”

"Why?"

"Aren't you afraid of anything strange?"

"What then?" Guan Yang hung his head and became dejected.

"Huh." Guo Enming laughed, "I'll burn a cup tonight and try it, if I find a laboratory, I can compare living water with boiled water and study it." ”

"Okay, okay." Guan Yang waved his hand and sat down outside his tent.

Cao Xi watched the light of the bonfire flickering on and off, shining on everyone's faces in the night, and his expression was not the same as last night.

"I'll go to the door and get some stones, and make the fire a little bit bigger, so that it won't be easy to extinguish." Xiao Jing said.

"I'll help you." Shi Wei followed to help.

Cao Xi sat in the corner on the side, looked at Shi Wei's hand that rolled up her sleeves, revealed the hand band, gently pulled Mo Mo's clothes in front of her, and asked secretly: "The strap on Shi Wei's hand is very special." ”

"Well, her boyfriend sent it." Momo replied casually.

"She has a boyfriend?" Cao Xi followed and asked.

"Hmm......" Mo Mo glanced at Guo Enming and realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, "yes." ”

"That'...... Why didn't he come along? ”

Guo Enming saw that Shi Wei was still busy on the side and didn't notice them, so he approached Cao Xi and whispered: "Her boyfriend killed someone and went to prison......"

"Huh?" Cao Xi's eyes widened subconsciously, a little shocked.

"Their relationship is a little unclear, so don't guess." After Guo Enming finished speaking, he made a gesture of shutting up, signaling that the problem would stop.

Cao Xi shifted his gaze back, Xiao Jing and Shi Wei seemed to be chatting on the other side, and they didn't know what they were talking about......

"Guo Enming." Mo Mo shouted at him behind Guo Enming.

"What's wrong?"

"I seem to be bleeding...... Momo whispered into his ear.

"On the feet? Show me. Guo Enming hurriedly helped her roll up her trouser legs to her knees, carrying the light on her back, and she couldn't see it very clearly, but she could feel that her trouser tubes were a little wet. It wasn't until the skin of her calf was exposed that they could see that there was indeed blood from the place where she had been bitten.

Guo Enming was stunned for a moment: "Is it because I used too hard to catch it before?" Caused a wound? He slapped himself on the head with self-reproach, "I was really confused, I was in a hurry." ”

"It's okay." Momo comforted him, "I don't hurt again." ”

Hearing their conversation, everyone gathered around to see what was wrong.

"How?" Shi Wei asked.

"It's fine, it's just a little bleeding, I don't feel anything." Mo Mo comforted everyone.

Guo Enming casually took some paper to wipe the blood stains for her: "The wound doesn't seem to be big, but it keeps bleeding." ”

Xiao Jing turned on a flashlight and shone it on the wound, observing that there was some redness and swelling around the wound: "Is it inflamed?" ”

"Leeches have a little toxin, but they don't poison people to death." Shi Wei replied, "Leeches will only suck blood with their mouths on the surface of their skin, and when they are full, they will leave." But if it is torn off, its mouth will remain in the skin, and it may become infected. ”

"Then why is it still bleeding?" Guo Enming was a little worried, "Will there be something?" ”

"Probably not, the blood flow is also to remove toxins from the blood, and the blood flow should heal when it is clean." Shi Wei could only let them settle down first.

"Momo, don't move, rest early, it's conducive to recovery." Guo Enming bandaged her briefly, and then comforted Mo Mo to go to sleep quickly.

Cao Xi watched them take care of Mo Mo together, and Xiao Jing also surrounded the fire with stones. Everything was pretty much ready, and it was their first night here. In addition to the unfamiliar tension, there was also a constant gust of cold wind coming from the broken wall behind him, which was sending out a mournful wail.
