"Hello Mr. Luo, do you need me to help you do something?"

"No, you don't."

Luo Xin drove all the way forward according to Cao Xi's final positioning. There was a humanoid robot sitting next to him, which made him a little unaccustomed.

"Mr. Luo, you can tell me where the destination is, and I can find an accurate and fast route for you more quickly to help you get there as soon as possible."

Robot DL-03 kindly reminded, but Luo Xin still refused. It's just that Professor Cao told him to bring a robot to ensure his safety, and he will apply to bring a robot with him. When he left GL Hospital, the hospital was already preparing to introduce robots, and he didn't really want to work with robots, which became the reason why he was more determined to leave the city.

Although Helong Town is backward, at least people are still people.

In the meeting with Professor Cao, Professor Cao also gladly accepted the care of the robot, so he should be able to adapt to this robot during this time, although he is still not sure, why take it, is there really something here that may hurt him, and only the robot can solve it?

And Luo Xin and this robot don't have time to run-in, he is already in a hurry to get on the road.

At the same time, the robot has also observed his actions for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will put forward some "professional opinions".

"Mr. Luo, aren't you going to go outdoors? Why don't you have the right outdoor gear? ”

"What is needed?"

"Tents, flashlights, and ......," it glanced at Luo Xin's casual attire, "You didn't change into outdoor clothes." ”

"I don't intend to stay long." Luo Xin was a little impatient.

"But the lease you're applying for is for a week." It continued, "Do you have any other travel plans? ”

Luo Xin sighed: "Can you let me be quiet for a while?" ”

"Okay, Mr. Luo."

It finally shut up, giving Luo Xin a moment of silence to calm down and find the final location.

When the car drove to the desolate suburbs, according to the location route, there was no road.

Luo Xin parked the car on the road, got out of the car, and looked at the surrounding villages. From the direction he had pointed to, through the barren grass beneath the road, there was a small forest, could it be that the shadow of the village was hidden behind it?

Luo Xin jumped off the highway and entered this overgrown field, a goldenrod beside him blocked his vision, and when he pulled away, he suddenly noticed a rollover van next to him, the whole body had been scrapped, only a thin frame, and the grass passed through the body, growing wantonly.

consciously told him that this should be the car that Ma Hui overturned back then.

As soon as Luo Xin was about to walk over to take a clear look, the robot came to him one step ahead of him and said politely: "Mr. Luo, for the sake of safety, please let me inspect it for you in front." ”

Luo Xin is not used to this kind of "care", but since he brought it, let's do it.

"Okay." He replied, letting the robot, codenamed DL-03, investigate for himself.

The car, which had been turned over in the grass for decades, had become a pile of scrap metal, and half of the body had been hidden in the dirt. Everything in the car was rotten and blackened, barely noticeable, and there were some messy parts hanging down there.

There is still half a mobile phone case in the dirt, Ma Hui said, at that time, their mobile phone was crushed when the car overturned, and there was still a mobile phone left, because of the low battery, no signal, it was also discarded, and they could only look for help from others, so they strayed into Shuixi Village.

"Mr. Luo, this car has been scrapped for more than 20 years."

"I know."

Luo Xin left the vicinity of the car and continued to walk in the direction of positioning, in fact, he didn't know how to find them quickly.

"Mr. Luo, where are you going? Tell me your name and I'll help you locate it. "DL-03 has always been very pertinent, but Luo Xin can't reveal that the destination is Shuixi Village.

"No, I can find it myself."

Passing through the grass, they went up to a small grove, and there seemed to be some footprints in the muddy earth, and he crouched down to take a closer look, and it was exactly a row, leading to the exit of the other wood.

"These footprints ......"

"Do you need me to break it down for you?"

Before Luo Xin could finish speaking, DL-03 spoke, and he looked at the robot beside him suspiciously: "Is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely." It smiled and replied, "Judging by the completeness of these footprints, and the weather conditions of the past few weeks, it's been a week." ”

"A week?" Luo Xin was stunned for a moment, this time was unconsciously longer than he realized, but he calculated carefully, it should only be five days from the departure time that Cao Xi said. "You're sure it's been a week."

"Yes, Mr. Luo." It replied, "Judging by the depth and size of these footprints, there must have been about six people." ”

"Hmm......" Luo Xin couldn't help frowning, maybe he miscalculated the time, starting from receiving Cao Xi's text message......

They walked through the woods, pointing to a wasteland, where they ended.

He looked around, under the mountains, a world of black oppression. Are they really here? Or is it because the signal is cut off and the trace is lost?

……

The crisis seemed to be solved, and in the last struggle, the vine circled Shi Wei's leg hard, and then lost its vitality and broke away from Shi Wei's leg. Shi Wei was finally rescued. But her foot was also cut by the thorns of the vines, leaving three long blood marks.

It must have been extremely painful at that time, otherwise the strong Shi Wei would not have shouted out.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Guan Yang asked on the other side of the fog.

"It's all right!" Xiao Jing replied.

"Shi Wei, how are you?" Cao Xi hurried over to help her, only to see that the pants on her calf had torn, and from those holes, you could see that her broken skin was oozing blood. Cao Xi helped her untie the torn trouser leg with a knife to see if there was anything left, but fortunately there were no vine spikes left on the wound, only blood slowly flowed out.

Cao Xi became worried: "The wound must be treated." She raised her head to look at Xiao Jing and said anxiously, "We have to find a place to bandage her wounds." ”

"Then find a place to go in first, it's not safe outside!" After Xiao Jing finished speaking, he picked up Shi Wei and walked towards the place where everyone was staying.

"I'm fine." Shi Wei endured the pain, and was still a little stubborn, "Let's hurry up and find the laboratory!" ”

"No, what if your wound becomes infected like Momo?" Cao Xi said angrily.

"It's fine." Shi Wei smiled reluctantly, proving that she was fine, "It's just a plant, it won't be anything." ”

"Who knows if this plant is poisonous or not!" Cao Xi was very resolute, "These days when I came here, I see that no matter what is normal, I can't take it lightly. ”

"Okay, okay." Shi Wei shook her head helplessly, "Then let's go after bandaging." ”

In the fog, Xiao Jing led them to quickly touch the wall and enter the nearest house. When I entered the house, the fog finally cleared a little, and I saw that the house was empty, only a few stone countertops, and a lot of weeds grew in the corners.

Cao Xi hurriedly helped Shi Wei sit down and inspect her wounds.

"Momo hasn't woken up yet, and now Shiwei is still injured." Guan Yang began to talk about frustration again, but this time everyone didn't talk about him, anyway, he was used to it.

"Shi Wei's wound should not be deep, and it should not affect our itinerary today." Xiao Jing comforted everyone and said.

Guo Enming on the other side slowly put down Momo's body and let her sit against the wall, but her consciousness still did not recover, and her whole person was paralyzed.

"The question is, when will she wake up?" Xiao Jing squatted in front of them and asked.

Guo Enming shook his head, he really didn't know.

Momo's body temperature has been confirmed, it is normal, her pulse is stronger than before, it stands to reason that she should have recovered, but she has never woken up.

While everyone was talking, Cao Xi had already opened his backpack, first disinfected Shi Wei's wound with salt water, then wiped the iodine wine, and prepared to take a clean cloth to bandage her, and his movements were particularly pulse.

Fortunately, Shi Wei's wound was not too deep, but the thing was like a nail, and the marks on the skin fell off, and it hurt when you touched it.

"You can, I thought you'd give me a bow when you bandaged it. I didn't expect it to be so neat, and I didn't think it was creative enough. It should be that the pain has passed, Shi Wei joked, wanting to relieve the tense atmosphere.

"Creativity?" Cao Xi couldn't laugh at it, just looked at her: "Do you want me to tear it down and start again?" ”

"Then you don't have to, I'm afraid of pain." Shi Wei shrugged, "Your technique is okay, it looks very skilled." ”

"I also read books and sometimes practice on my own."

"Why?" Shi Wei asked, "You are not a nursing professional." ”

Cao Xi hesitated for a moment: "I just want to learn." ”

"Okay." Shi Wei was not embarrassed.

But Cao Xi squatted in front of her, but his expression was not relaxed. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Shi Wei, but asked softly, "You...... Will it be because of the injury...... And is it the same as Momo? ”

"Me?" Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, and wanted to laugh it off, but Cao Xi's expression reminded her that she didn't ask casually, "This little injury shouldn't be enough." ”

"But Momo was only a minor injury at first." Cao Xi took it seriously, "These injuries are nothing in the place where we used to live, but when we come here, I feel ...... will be life-threatening. ”

"Don't worry." Shi Wei smiled and said, "We shouldn't split casually." ”

"What about you...... Have you ever split? Cao Xi finally raised his eyes and looked at her.

"I haven't." Shi Wei replied, "So far, I should be the only one who hasn't experienced it." With that, she glanced at everyone.

"No?" Cao Xi raised his head, "Then can you be sure that your life will come again?" ”

Shi Wei gently shook her cold hand and comforted her, "Fool, none of us know if we will be so lucky next time, not all of us can get endless life. Maybe the next moment, there will really be only death. ”

Cao Xi suddenly felt that his nose was sour, and he became inexplicably sad. Even though I wasn't close to them originally, I suddenly felt a sense of sympathy. I can already empathize with them and feel such a fate.

"Okay, don't think about it, no matter what, just protect yourself." Shi Wei patted her on the shoulder and finished speaking, then came down from the stone pile and took two steps with difficulty.

"Is that okay?" Cao Xi asked with concern.

"No problem." She laughed and faced Xiao Jing, "Let's hurry up, we've wasted a lot of time." ”

"Then let's get ready to go." Xiao Jing shouted, but Guo Enming didn't get up.

"I'm not going to leave." He said.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jing asked.

"I'll stay here with Momo." Guo Enming said calmly, "Her current appearance will only become a burden for everyone, I will stay here with her, and when you find the laboratory and complete the task, it will not be too late to come to us." ”

Xiao Jing and Shi Wei glanced at each other.

"Are you sure?" Shi Wei asked.

"Yes." Guo Enming is sure, "The things that are experimenting are what Shi Wei knows best, and she can help solve all the problems." The situation is such that we shouldn't be holding you down. ”

Xiao Jing looked at Shi Wei and agreed.

Shi Wei looked at Mo Mo who was unconscious, and she was not reluctant, she could only do this: "Okay, you wait for us here, but you must pay attention to safety, and when the fog does not disperse, don't leave." ”

"I know."

Shi Wei confirmed the room, the glass of the windows was still intact, and the doors were there, but there was something needed to fix it.

"I'll stay too." Guan Yang also spoke, "Guo Enming has always been with Momo, and I can protect their safety." ”

It looks like they've made a decision, and it's useless to say that.

Xiao Jing was already sure that he would be able to find the laboratory right away, so they might really be able to do it a little faster.

"Okay then." Shi Wei promised them, "We will definitely come back as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, Cao Xi had already taken Shi Wei's hand and helped her move forward. This surprised Shi Wei and looked at her with wide eyes.

"Let's go, I'm here, and I want to know what this place has to do with me." Cao Xi said seriously.

Shi Wei smiled lightly, very pleased.

"Okay."

So they went their separate ways, and Xiao Jing walked out of the house with them and returned to the fog. Guan Yang tried to close the door, which should have been installed with a wooden latch lock before, but only the nose on the door frame remained, and there was no movable rod.

Guan Yang searched around the house, found a piece of wood about the same thickness, tried to insert it, and it was just right. The door was finally locked, and his heart was relieved.

"Okay, that black thing is either infinitely powerful, or he won't be able to get in." He comforted himself.

Guo Enming helped Momo, but just "um" for a while, and didn't talk.

Through the glass window, the outside world is white, and it has become a mystery when it will disperse and when it will be able to get out of here.

Fortunately, they can still find the most important mystery, and I hope that this trip of life and death will not be in vain.
