Chapter 20: The Sacrificial Man
Huang Jun couldn't see the expression on his face, and after listening to Zheng Hua's speech, he didn't seem to be interested in what Zheng Hua said at all, but just asked: "Okay, let's not discuss these first, I just ask you, how should we escape now, or rather, is there no way at all?" ”
Zheng Hua didn't understand why Huang Jun seemed to be indifferent to what he said, originally he thought that Huang Jun should at least show surprise, but he didn't know that Huang Jun had already seen similar things, and now Zheng Hua was not more dangerous than before. However, Zheng Hua didn't think much about it, and said: "The situation is very bad now, I think if we want to leave, the only chance is that altar." ”
Huang Jun said: "Altar? You mean, the altar? That is, those altars that those things are guarding? What's in there? ”
Zheng Hua said: "I don't know what's inside, I just know that there are things we are looking for in it, and only by entering that altar can we really get rid of these damn things and really get out."
Huang Jun said: "So, have you ever been inside before?" ”
Zheng Hua said: "No, I haven't gone in, if I had gone in, I would have left a long time ago, but I have tried to go in countless times, but after being almost caught a few times, I never tried to go in again"
Huang Jun thought for a while and said, "So, do you have any impression of the things in there?" ”
Zheng Hua thought for a while and said, "That little girl should have seen it, I don't know how to describe that kind of thing, it's that kind of skull, the very small kind, I was once entangled by one, and I finally got out."
Huang Jun said: "Is that what Fang Li said?" ”
Zheng Hua nodded and said, "That's right, it's the kind of thing, I don't know what it is." We can only get in if we join forces, otherwise, we don't have a chance."
Old man Zhu interjected at this time: "There is a question that I still can't understand, why do you have nothing to do here?" Won't they come here to look for you? ”
Zheng Hua shook his head and said: "It's safe here, this is the original place, those things can't get in, but if we want to get out, we have to get out of here, otherwise we will be like me, trapped here forever."
Huang Jun said: "So, the other one, I mean where is the Zhengjia Village they saw?" ”
Zheng Hua didn't speak, just made a gesture to follow him. Huang Jun and the others slowly followed behind Zheng Hua, and after a while, they came to the periphery of Zhengjia Village, but Zheng Hua didn't dare to go out in the end, he just looked into the distance, and finally pointed to the front, and said: "Look, that's where they are, that is, where we want to go, if we can get to that place, then everything will be easy, if we want to really go out, we must go there"
Huang Jun and the others looked into the distance, and at some point, they saw lights in front of them, and dense people walking around, which looked very lively, and there were all kinds of noise coming from inside, as if they were talking inside. Fang Li didn't know why, and said excitedly: "That's, village?" Someone's village? ”
Zheng Hua said: "No, that's their world, not our world, we can't go over it easily."
Huang Jun squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and sure enough, he found that it was unusual, first of all, although those who were walking around inside on the surface, as if they were not aware that anyone was looking at them at all, but Huang Jun had a feeling, then it was an intuition, feeling that everyone in the village was looking at him, as if they were all paying attention to this side. Looking at the furnishings inside, although it was so far away, Huang Jun could still vaguely distinguish that the terrain layout inside was exactly the same as the Zhengjia Village where they were standing now, and it was exactly the same.
"Look, what's that?" Shu Yao suddenly shouted, Huang Jun looked in the direction Shu Yao pointed, and sure enough, not far from where they were standing, there seemed to be something faintly moving. Old man Zhu said: "It's them, they haven't died yet, they've been there."
Fang Li was puzzled: "Who are they?" What are you talking about?? ”
Huang Jun said: "It's those things that have been following us, they didn't give up, they didn't dare to come in, and now they are guarding outside, it looks like they are waiting for us"
Old man Zhu said: "What the hell are those things, wait, no, here it is again, there are a lot", just as Old Man Zhu spoke, they saw a group of people or a group of things coming out of another village in the distance, they slowly converged with the previous guard outside the village, and then looked at Huang Jun and the others fixedly, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, but Huang Jun and the others could still clearly feel a feeling of being targeted.
Huang Jun suddenly said: "Oops, I really can't go now"
Old man Zhu was puzzled and said, "What's the matter, what did you find?" ”
Huang Jun said: "Didn't you find out? At the beginning, they were still following us, refusing to show up, no matter what method we used, they wouldn't show up, but now they are in front of us, and they are looking at us, you see, there are more and more of them, it seems that they are indeed coming for us, and now, they are not afraid of us."
Zheng Hua smiled bitterly: "No, you are wrong, they have never been afraid of you, but their purpose before was to keep you in that state of high tension, and then let you in, and now, their purpose has been achieved"
Huang Jun said: "What's the matter? Did they come here on purpose? Are they who want us to come in here? ”
Zheng Hua said: "Don't you still understand? They're just going to drive you here, that's what they're trying to do."
Huang Jun was puzzled and said, "But, why, why did they do this?" Why don't they do it outside? ”
Zheng Hua said: "It's very simple, they are out there, and they are not sure to deal with you at all, and they may even let you run away, and now, after you come in, do you think it is still possible to run?" ”
Huang Jun said: "But, aren't they afraid of this place and don't dare to come in?" How did they drive people here? ”
Zheng Hua said: "I don't know, but that's how I got in, and now I think about it, if I didn't come in at that time, maybe I could still find a way to get out, and now, if I want to get out, I can only take risks like that."
Huang Jun said: "I understand, you mean that although this is a place they are afraid of, it is also a dead end for them. For us, this seems to be a way to survive on the surface, but it is also very likely to be a dead end, which means that when we come here, we can get rid of them for a while, but if we want to move on, then we can't rush out, and the only way to get out is the altar of the village opposite, right? ”
Zheng Hua said: "That's right, that's it, if you still don't believe it, you can look ahead, besides that village, is there any other road?" ”
Huang Jun and the others looked around, and sure enough, although they could still see the woods around, they couldn't see any road for a long time, they could only see the village on the opposite side, and they only needed one road to go there, except for that road, there was no other way to go, and the road when they came had already disappeared.
When Shu Yao saw this, he couldn't help but say hatefully: "These things are really vicious, what do they want to do, no, we will probably be finished if we continue like this, now we have to think of a way"
Zheng Hua said: "Of course, we have to find a way, but there is only one way, and there is no other way to speak of it."
Huang Jun suddenly said: "Then, we can only follow you\/"
Zheng Hua said: "It's not to follow me, but that we all have to do it together in order to survive, otherwise, you will have to stay here like me until now."
Huang Jun said: "But this is the first time we have met, how can we believe you?" ”
Zheng Hua said: "How can you believe me? Needless to say? You have no way out, I have no way out, if you have a second way, you can not believe me, but now, you can only trust me, and in the same way, I don't really trust you very much, but now I can only trust you, don't I? ”
Huang Jun said: "Okay, let's discuss it first, and then talk about it tomorrow, now, we are going to rest, you come from there or go back there, we will reply to you tomorrow morning"
Zheng Hua nodded, but didn't say anything more, in this situation, it is redundant to say anything, many situations are beyond expectations, but there is no way at all.
Huang Jun and the others returned to their previous foothold after Zheng Hua left, although everyone was very tired, but they didn't make any sound, because they were in a bad mood, anyone in the current situation, I'm afraid they wouldn't be in a good mood, at this time Huang Jun seemed to have been pondering, thinking about something, suddenly, he broke the calm, and said: "No, no, there is a problem?" ”
Shu Yao said: "What's the problem?" What's going on? ”
Huang Jundao: "That Zheng Hua has a problem, there is definitely a problem"
Shu Yao said: "What's the problem?" ”
Fang Li was unhappy and said: "However, that uncle saved me, if it wasn't for him, I would have died a long time ago."
Huang Jundao; "I just can't figure it out, you see, we're running out of food, right? What if we run out of food? ”
Fang Li said: "After eating, there is naturally no food, and now that we are going out again, it doesn't look like there is food in this village."
Huang Jun said: "That's the problem, we've only been here for a few days, and the food is about to run out, and now, that Zheng Hua, however, seems to have been here for decades, how did he survive?" If he really didn't go out? ”
Shu Yao said: "Yes, this is weird, so it seems that he must have a way to get out, he is lying to us, otherwise he will not survive, or rather, there must be communication with the outside here"
