Chapter 33: The Grasshopper Shakes the Tree

Xu Rui rushed into the mountain in one go, and he didn't know how long he ran, until he used his last strength and fell to the edge of a tree. He struggled to sit up, took out the diary from his bosom, bit open the cap of the pen, and quickly wrote his last message on it.

"Die, this fucking everything!" Xu Rui threw the pen in his hand as if venting, then thought about it again, took out a few old yellowed pieces of paper from the pocket in his arms, and sandwiched them in the diary.

"If someone can pick up this diary, I hope it can help you." Xu Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I knew that it was better to follow them up the mountain, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it." ”

After doing this, he threw the diary to the ground not far away.

There was a cold chill in his arms, and Xu Rui took out the close-fitting bronze mirror with a miserable smile and smashed it beside him. A large amount of thick black blood flowed from the shattered mirror, and slowly, a miserable white slender hand stretched out from the blood.

"Hahaha, even if Lao Tzu feeds the ghosts, it will never be cheap for you brutes!" Xu Rui leaned against the big tree behind him and laughed loudly.

A sticky, cold, cold mist drifted slowly, like waves rolling on the treacherous green sea. And that terrible laughter was soon drowned in the sea of fog......

I don't know how long it took, but in the fog, a staggering figure appeared. The shadow was like a pencil sketch on white paper, which became clearer and clearer as the pen and ink intensified.

.

The man's clothes were worn out, and half of his body was stained with dark blood, but on closer inspection, the blood didn't seem to be his. His cheeks were sunken, his chin was covered with blue stubble, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole person was like a Sphinx statue in the desert that had been exposed to the wind and sun for thousands of years, lonely and tired.

Lu Qing was like a soulless walking corpse, he stumbled and walked, until he smelled the faint smell of blood in the air, he turned his head numbly, and found a pile of blood-stained clothes under the tree not far away.

The dress was unfamiliar to him, and it was obvious that it should have been someone who had stayed in the town at the foot of the mountain. Lu Qing noticed the diary in the bushes on the side, so he walked over, picked up the notebook, and began to read the contents carefully.

Soon, he learns the identity of the journalist's owner, and what happened down the hill after they left.

However, for these, Lu Qing was not surprised. Long before he decided to go up the mountain, he had already anticipated the later developments. Akai had told himself that these mythical creatures had an evil force in their own right, and although they did not interfere with humans and animals, and only entrenched in the mountains, as long as they existed, no animals would appear within a hundred miles. Animals instinctively have an aversion and fear of them, and they are afraid to avoid them.

And there are ghouls in the town, which are low-level creatures, mainly carnivorous, and in the long run, there will naturally be no living creatures on this island. In this case, it is necessary to take a detour before entering a dead end, otherwise, continuing to stay will only consume all lives.

Lu Qing finished reading the diary and was quite embarrassed about what happened to Xu Rui. People like him are still tired of their kindness in the end. However, this is all his own choice, and Lu Qing is not qualified to comment on his wrongness.

He sighed, and then noticed that at the end of the diary, there seemed to be a few pieces of paper in it.

Xu Rui once mentioned in his diary that when he was in good health, through searching, he would record some discoveries in the town every day. He summarized all of this and wrote it down on a few pieces of paper, and Lu Qing took out the yellow paper and read it carefully.

His pupils dilated as he read a certain line of information.

"I see...... That's ......" Lu Qingmeng shuddered, and the diary in his hand also slipped to the ground. He bent over in pain, clutching his head, feeling nothing but something tearing every inch of his body apart, and he was in pain. Physical pain and mental torture are nothing. What is even more difficult for him to accept now is the cruel truth behind it.

"Brother Xu Zhen, Akai...... Wait for me, you must wait for me to come back to save you......"

Xu Rui had not been dead for long, judging by his wreckage, the time of death had not been more than five hours. Therefore, the survivors in the town now should be the same as what he wrote in his diary, namely Lin Jie, Yin Xiong, Liu Dequan, Ni Ya and Meng Yu. As for the mentally deranged Zhou Qiong, she should already be more than lucky.

Lu Qingqiang endured the pain and got up from the ground, he stuffed the diary into the backpack behind him, and after unzipping it, his eyes stayed on a crumpled piece of stationery. Lu Qing's eyes showed a rare sadness, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and his lips couldn't help but tremble.

This was given to him by Chen Shuo before he died, and he asked Lu Qing to transfer the money in the bank card to his parents after he went back, and what was written on this letter was his last words.

"Brother, don't worry, I won't let you die in vain." Chen Shuo is one of the very few close friends in the space who can be close to Lu Qing, they have experienced life and death together, and watched the third district grow from the initial weakness to the strongest in the space. Chen Shuo, as a veteran of the third district, died in this mission in order to save people.

Lu Qing was grief-stricken, he carefully put the letter away, pressed it to the bottom of his backpack, and then stumbled down the mountain.

In the end, all the hopes of whether everyone can return smoothly or not fall on his shoulders.

At the beginning, there were a total of twelve people in the team that went up the mountain, including Lu Qing, but now only he escaped alive. In this deep mountain, everyone encountered an unprecedented crisis. The horrors they encountered were far more terrifying than the ghouls in the town.

Therefore, the death and wounding of this group of elite veterans, and the dispersion of some people and teams, their lives and deaths are still uncertain. However, even so, the remaining small number of people still found clues about the way to survive in this mission.

And now, Lu Qing has discovered the hidden space in this mission, as well as the true secrets of this island.

Far from being the master of this world, in the unknown universe that has not yet been explored, there are hidden unimaginable and unspeakable horror truths, which can make people fall into madness or death just by seeing them.

Lu Qing knew that his existence was too small, and he was just an insignificant grain of sand in this vast universe.

Suppose there is an ant crawling at your feet, you don't care if you step on it or not, because it's so small, dead or alive, it doesn't matter to you in the slightest. In the eyes of those ancient evil gods, humans were the ants.

In the eyes of space, they are just poor "victims" who were sacrificed in this bloody killing.

When Lu Qing knew this secret, he understood that he was destined to be unable to leave this mission.

"The grasshopper shakes the tree, which is ridiculous. Even if I die, I must rescue the other companions. ”
