Chapter 21: Mountain Ghosts
Xiaolu didn't really want to leave, he really liked this kind of environment away from the crowd, but because of Wang Wei's repeated begging, he took a step back and said to Wang Wei: "It's dark now that I can't go, I'll accompany you home early tomorrow morning." ”
Unexpectedly, Wang Wei didn't comply, I don't know what medicine he took wrong, he had to leave immediately, no matter how much he persuaded him, it didn't work. The back and forth annoyed the deer, and the deer said angrily: "If you want to go, I'll leave tomorrow!" ”
Wang Wei was impulsive, he really ran out directly, he carried a high-intensity flashlight, he didn't pack anything, he didn't want anything, he just wanted to walk out of the mountain at night immediately.
Xiaolu saw him so stubborn, he really couldn't do anything about him. I really didn't feel at ease, so I chased him out, and chased him for a mile or two before I caught this kid.
After arguing for a long time, the two finally reached a settlement, but when they turned around and looked around, they found themselves in a very unfamiliar environment. Wang Wei was also strange, and the deer was puzzled, because they were indeed on the way out of the mountain, even if they were in a hurry, they shouldn't get lost.
At this time, both of them were a little panicked, and the fawn's brain was a little faster, so he said: "Let's look and see if there are any landmarks around, maybe it's because the light is not good at night, so I think this place is very strange." ”
Wang Wei always admires Xiaolu, and Xiaolu's words are his weather vane at this moment. So the two of them wandered around, looking for something they were familiar with.
They searched for a long time, but they didn't find anything, but they stumbled upon a tree, which was not too tall, and the fruit on it could be reached by jumping. It resembles a grapefruit tree, with many head-sized fruits hanging from it, but all of them are black.
The fawn was curious, so he wanted to climb the tree and pick two to see if he could eat them. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched the trunk of the tree, he was cut an inch-long opening, and blood flowed. When Wang Wei saw it, he quickly pulled the strip of cloth from his body and came down to wrap it for him. But as soon as the wound was wrapped, the fruit tree next to it suddenly trembled violently, and the whole tree trembled, as if it had been shaken. What's even more terrifying is that the fruits on those trees do not shake with the trees, but slowly rotate.
Soon after, the fruit completely turned around, and Xiaolu and Wang Wei suddenly saw that there was a black human face on the fruit!
The faces of the men were carved into the fruit, their eyes were half-closed, their eyes were pale, and they had a mouthful...... Amazing fangs.
Xiaolu and Wang Wei couldn't stand this scene, and they were stupid all of a sudden, and they didn't dare to move the pestle there.
But just because they don't move doesn't mean the fruit won't move. Suddenly, the shaking of the trees stopped, and at the same time the faces of the fruits suddenly became more hideous, and their eyes opened suddenly, as if they were about to fall out, and then they grinned like a demon.
At this moment, Xiaolu and Wang Wei seemed to be frightened awake, and began to run desperately with a scream, and ran for more than two miles in a panic, when suddenly a light attracted their attention.
They looked at each other, thinking they had touched the village, so they cautiously approached the light.
When I got closer, I realized that the light did not come from the ground, but from the sky in the distance. The weather was fine tonight, it was cloudless and starry, but the sky in front of them was shrouded in dark clouds, and many blood-red rays of light were unusually shining out of the dark clouds, hitting all corners of the mountain.
Xiaolu and Wang Wei can be regarded as newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, so after thinking about it, they decided to go over and have a look.
That's a big look! I saw that there was a person standing under the dark clouds, he looked up at the sky, and the expression on his face looked evil and strange under the light penetrating through the dark clouds. Gradually, gradually...... The dark clouds in the sky turned into a face.
It was at this moment that in an instant, strong winds began to blow around, and thunder and lightning began to blow.
The fawns realize that they can't stay any longer, and who knows what will happen if they are discovered. However, when he went to pull Wang Wei, he found that Wang Wei was wrong, he was like being immobilized, and his two eyes looked directly at the face on the dark clouds, with a blank expression. No matter how much the fawn barks, it can't wake up......
In the end, there was really no way, and the deer almost dragged Wang Wei away. However, since then, Wang Wei's whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes, his expression is sluggish, and what he says does not match the preamble. When he eats, the fawn feeds him to his mouth, and he knows that he can open his mouth, let alone go to the toilet, and if the fawn doesn't take off his pants for him, he won't move at all.
In this way, more than a month has passed, and the fawn has thought of everything, but it is useless. Until one day, Xiaolu went to look for food, and when he came back, he found that Wang Wei was suddenly gone, and he couldn't find it no matter how he looked for it. He hasn't seen Wang Wei since......
The fawn felt uncomfortable, and began to investigate the matter, and he found that the man under the dark clouds that day had raised some strange bugs, which he would scatter all over the mountains. It starts out as a very small bug, and then grows bigger and bigger. Wherever the bugs crawled, all the vegetation grew unusually densely.
Later, he discovered that those insects were not just high-tech pesticides that allowed plants to grow densely, they were also a poison, a living virus. This insect is like a bait, it has an absolute temptation for animals in the mountains, and once you eat this bug, you will be infected with this virus. At first, there are no symptoms, and gradually there will be a reaction of subcutaneous bleeding, but the animal still does not feel it, and it will not die painfully until the skin and flesh on their body are completely separated.
However, it is difficult to open up the wasteland here, so you can only grow some small vegetables in a small area, and most of the humans living here are still mainly hunting. Once humans eat these poisoned animals, they will experience the same symptoms as these animals, but the results will not be the same. Human beings are destined to be beings with the aura of the protagonist, and instead of dying, they will appear in a rare parasitic relationship. Plants grow in their bodies, feed on their internal organs, and in the end only a piece of skin is left to wrap around the plant that grows from their bodies. The fawn calls those monsters soul eaters,
I've always wondered what the Soul Eater in Mo Chenchen's mouth looks like. But at this moment, after listening to Xiaolu's description, I only felt a chill on my back, and the hairs on my whole body stood up, as if I had returned to that time......
Kong Xian pushed me behind with a gun, and he told me that the trees were full of people, so the two of us walked slowly to one of the big trees to see who was behind it......
When I think of that moment, I can't describe the feeling of fear in my heart.
The Soul Eater described in the fawn's mouth is exactly the same as the skin-wrapped treemen we saw at the time. The horror was still lingering in my heart, but now I suddenly knew that those things were still alive, how should I describe the feeling of escaping death. At that time, as long as we moved a little bit louder, we disturbed those treemen, and the consequences were really unimaginable, so we had to accompany them to a deadly party......
"These two people have also been poisoned, and I don't know how long they will live. But I discovered a secret, these poisoned people will gradually dissipate their minds in the process of completely becoming soul eaters, I can brainwash them, they will obey everything, but ...... Don't provoke them. ”
As he spoke, Xiaolu pointed to the two ancient-robed people whispering next to him. Mo Ranchen and I just started to pay attention to them.
As soon as I came, I felt that these two people were very strange, and they had no interest in me and Mo Ranchen, two sudden strangers, and the two old men bit their ears for a long time, and they didn't know where so many private words came from.
"How do they wear this kind of clothing? cosplay?” I asked the fawn bluntly.
Xiaolu looked at the two people and replied with some pity: "This disease is irreversible, and there is no solution. In order not to contaminate the environment with the virus, I instilled in them the idea that they would help dispose of the corpses and pile up the dead animals in the valley. And the two clothes on their bodies are actually made by myself, so that I can distinguish them after they are completely turned into soul eaters by this virus. ”
I nodded my head to show understanding, and after listening to Xiaolu's explanation, I looked at the two people again, and I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, inexplicably sad.
The space we are in is not large, with an unobstructed view, and the boxy is the kind of cellar that ordinary farmers make wine. In the corner, there was an area made of dry grass, a makeshift bed for the men to sleep on at night, if I guessed correctly. The fawn has been living with these two poor people in this cold underground, which is really indescribably desolate.
"Don't stain the dust." I called him, and he "yes." "Wait for me to continue.
I wanted to ask him why he was here, and I thought it was straightforward, he wouldn't necessarily be honest with me. So he turned a corner and asked, "You've been here since you left the hospital?" ”
He shook his head and denied it, and said, "Before continuing to send me a message, I went to Zhengzhou. ”
"Report safety to Boss Bai?" I blurted out.
Mo Ranchen didn't hide it, nodded yes, "Bai Zechen asked us to enter the mountain as soon as possible and go to the location on the map, and he asked someone else to send us something, and the address was filled in with the foothold we selected before." It should be some equipment. ”
"It won't be long." I looked at the top above and replied: "I made an appointment with Liu Yang, and now I count it, there should be five or six more days, and I will go to Weicheng in these days." If you can't wait, you can go there yourself. ”
"You guys don't play interrogation games anymore, okay, isn't Mu You here for a purpose? I've been here for so long, I'll take you where you're going. Xiaolu reminded me, and I remembered his previous warning.
So he asked him suspiciously: "You haven't told me why you can't go to the uninhabited village on the mountainside, why?" Is there any danger there? ”
Xiaolu stared at me for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Mu You...... Your destination, it won't be there. In fact, I don't know why I can't go there, except for not being able to look up at the clouds, which I personally experienced, the rest of these three warnings are the tips given to me by these two people when they are occasionally sober. Why...... I don't know. ”
