Chapter 168: The Fog of Ecstasy
The big man looked up at him and said, "Didn't you kid hear what Company Commander Wang said clearly, let's not go to the deck, for fear of danger......... ”
The thin man Huo stood up and said to him: "Then you can nest here, Lao Tzu is going to go out to let off steam, if you stay any longer, you have to make Lao Tzu crazy, you have to ......... it!" After saying that, he didn't listen to anyone's persuasion, turned around, took the machete, grabbed the submachine gun and rushed out of the cabin, and his hurried footsteps sounded in the aisle, and soon he couldn't hear it, apparently out of the cabin.
"Damn, this kid has this bear temper, and he will never be able to change his .........!" The big man Lao Hu scolded on the side.
"Brother Xu, Sister Xinyu, you wait, I'll go and persuade Qiangzi, I think he will listen to me........." Xiaoting stood up uneasily, ready to go out to find him.
Xu Jiandong motioned for Xiaoting to wait for a while, and said to her: "Don't worry, with the cleverness of the strong son, there will be nothing wrong, besides, there are so many heavily armed special forces outside.........." ”
He paused and continued: "Otherwise, Lao Hu, let's go out to let the wind out, it's good to breathe, just half a little, and it's not too late to rest after coming back, what do you think?" ”
The big man Lao Hu heard what he said, nodded slightly in agreement, and the four of them got up and walked out of the cabin one after another.
For the sake of safety, the big man Lao Hu brought the SVD sniper rifle from under the bed before going out.
On the deck, the thin man was chatting with a special soldier, and when he saw Xu Dong and the others also coming out, he walked over to say hello.
At some point in the night sky, a bright moon hung up, many stars blinked with sly eyes, and all around was silent, except for the dull and low roar of the engines of the freighter and the sound of the stern propeller churning the waves.
Looking up at the moon in the night sky, Xu Jiandong exhaled deeply, as if he was making a breath, and then said: "It seems that tonight is still a fifteenth full moon night......... Unfortunately, we are still out rafting and can't go home........."
Xinyu walked over, snuggled in his arms, and in order to adjust Xu Jiandong's homesickness, he deliberately smiled and said mischievously: "Mr. Xu, I don't think it's necessarily fifteen, maybe sixteen, haven't you heard such an old saying, is the moon sixteen round in fifteen?" ”
Xu Jiandong gently stroked her jet-black hair, and said to her with a smile: "That's right, maybe tonight is really sixteen......... Alas! I don't know how my parents and the two elders are doing now......... We really shouldn't have traveled so far this time to .......... ”
Xinyu raised his head, looked at him affectionately, and comforted: "Jiandong, I think something has happened, and there is no need to blame yourself anymore, that can only add unnecessary troubles to yourself, what do you say?" She paused and said, "Alas.........! Don't know when you'll be able to get back home? ”
"If it goes well, I won't be able to get there for another ten days and half a month........." Although Xu Jiandong himself couldn't say clearly and couldn't make a decision, he still had to comfort her, because she was weak, he could only panic with kindness.
"I hope so.........." How could the clever Xinyu not know the current situation.
The two of them hugged each other tightly, as if they were afraid of being separated by other people, and they just stood there motionless.
On the sea at night, there is a gray darkness, and the visual distance is more than a few tens of meters to see anything clearly, and the energy-saving lamps used for temporary lighting on the freighter are more and more cold and bleak in the quiet night, giving people a ghostly feeling.
The moon in mid-sky quietly disappeared into the clouds at some point, revealing only a small half of its face, and even the stars disappeared like farts one by one.
Xinyu leaned into Xu Jiandong's arms, looking a little cold.
Of course, Xu Jiandong felt it, so he whispered to her with concern: "Honey, are you cold?" Or...... Let's go back to the cabin and rest, I don't think it's too early......... ”
Xinyu smiled at him and nodded.
"Lao Hu, Qiangzi, don't stay outside for too long, let's go back and rest first......... Xu Jiandong turned his head and instructed the two of them.
When the big man heard this, he raised his hand at him, signaled that he had received it, muttered a cigarette in his mouth and didn't say anything, and then put the SVD sniper rifle in his hand on the protective fence.
The thin man and Xiaoting were a little farther away, hugging each other and whispering, they didn't hear what Xu Jiandong said just now, and they didn't even know when Xu Jiandong and Xinyu left, men and women in love may be like this, they don't care about anything that has nothing to do with them, the world is so big that they can only accommodate the two of them, and the others are just invisible air.
Because the navigation system on the freighter has lost its due function and role, Xinyun does not dare to sail at full speed, can only tentatively grope forward like a man walking, the speed is naturally much slower, anyway, the fuel on the freighter is enough to use, at least there is no need to worry about the situation of running out of fuel halfway.
In the second half of the night, only a few special forces veterans and big men on the deck were left.
Recently, a series of strange things have happened one after another, so that people like the big man Hu He who can pull out his asshole often lose his eyes.
He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out how he could still encounter those incredible strange things and monsters that he couldn't even dream of in this era, and sometimes he really wondered if he was in a dream or if he was deep in the prehistoric animal kingdom, and then, he didn't know what strange things he would encounter.
On the sea, I don't know when there was a heavy fog, the fog was thick and thick, like billowing smoke, completely encircling the entire Xinyun 10,000-ton freighter and its surroundings, and even the big man Hu himself.
He didn't understand why the fog had risen, but he felt that some ominous omen was quietly coming over him.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the stern of the Xinyun freighter.
In this strange fog, there are two green lights the size of a ping-pong ball, like two small green lanterns, hanging in the air at the tail of the freighter, floating uncertainly, appearing and disappearing, looking particularly strange and mysterious.
The big man roughly estimated that the distance between himself and the pair of green glowing things was about fifty meters, and the other scenery could not see anything, maybe the light could penetrate the fog.
The pair of green lights, which looked like small lanterns, might have been larger than an apple if they had come closer.
He stared vigilantly at the pair of green lights coming from the stern of the ship, because he thought that it would not be some alien flying machine, but most likely the huge creeping monster that Company Commander Wang had encountered before.
While thinking like this, he quickly checked the ammunition in the magazine of the SVD sniper rifle in his hand, and after confirming that the ammunition was sufficient, he opened the safety bolt of the gun, and there were still 50 rounds of ammunition in his military backpack, but that had to be picked up in the cabin, and the 10 bullets in the magazine should be able to deal with it at the moment.
The fog was getting bigger and bigger, and the whole freighter was permeated, and the moon in the sky had long since lost sight, and there was only a gray sky all around, and nothing could be seen clearly from ten meters away.
The unexplained fog was a little choking, and it kept tumbling and rolling like some unknown monster hidden in it, with the breath of life.
The walkie-talkie on the special forces ten meters away suddenly rang, and then one after another was conveyed, and the current communication tools can reflect their unique role at this time, listening to what they say, it is nothing more than too much fog, pay attention to vigilance and strengthen defense, and so on.
The people standing on the boat couldn't see the corridor clearly when they were ten meters apart, but at this time, the pair of mysterious and strange green lights disappeared, and they disappeared into the fog and disappeared without knowing where to go.
It's good if he can continue to keep what he saw, but now he suddenly disappeared, so that he was overwhelmed, because the lost unknown object may go away, maybe it will come quietly, and suddenly attack himself, thinking of this, his heart can't help but be secretly surprised, although there are weapons in his hand, but, listening to what the company commander Wang said, these weapons can't compete with the hard leather armor of this monster that has never been seen before.
Due to nervousness, he didn't know when a fine layer of cold sweat had broken out on his back, and that layer of cold sweat was like someone brushing a layer of cold water on your back with a brush, and the cold seeped straight into the bone marrow of the people.
He held the SVD sniper rifle tightly, as if he was afraid of being snatched away, he felt his breathing become heavy and abnormal unconsciously, and he could even clearly hear the thumping sound of the heart in his chest, and his palms were full of sweat, so that he felt a little unable to hold the weapon in his hand, because the sweat was very wet and slippery.
He had never felt this kind of fear, it was an invisible murderous aura, a murderous aura that was enough to make his opponent retreat without a fight, it was completely different from the fear he had encountered before, it was a fear and a sign before death came.
"Am I going to die here today?" He suddenly uttered such a sentence from the depths of his heart, and then gritted his teeth again, feeling that he would not die so easily.
Suddenly, he felt a strange itch on his right forearm, which was several times better than a mosquito bite, and the itch reached the depths of his heart, and he felt the urge to cut off his arm with a knife.
Subconsciously, he used his left hand to scratch the affected area on his right forearm, and when he scratched it, even he was so shocked that he almost screamed, he didn't understand in his heart how his right arm could become like this.
With the faint light, he looked down and observed the itch of his right arm, vaguely as if there was something, like the scales of a fish, touching it with his hand, and the surface was very rough.
"What the fuck is going on?! What the hell is this?! ........." The big man cursed secretly in his heart.
In order to figure out what was going on, he hurriedly took out a strong flashlight from his pocket, opened the Tianguan, and a snow-white light shot straight into the affected area of his right arm.
At that moment, he didn't think about anything, just stood stupidly there for a long time without moving.
It wasn't until he heard a faint, rhythmic sound of footsteps in the distance that he suddenly came back to his senses.
He listened carefully with his ears sideways, analyzing and seeing if he could hear who the footsteps were.
Although the footsteps were very soft, they could not escape the ears of Lao Hu, who had gone up the mountain hunting with his grandfather, and he felt that the sound would definitely not come from the kind of Marine Corps boots worn by the special forces standing not far away, and the footsteps seemed to be made from stepping on the deck with bare feet and no footwear on.
"Slap, slap, slap........." seems very regular, unhurried and unhurried, as if someone is walking on the deck.
The big man Lao Hu thought to himself: "In the middle of the night, who will not sleep in the cabin and run to the deck to hang out, is this lord like himself who can't sleep and loses his eyes.........?" But when I think about it, it's impossible, even if someone goes out for a walk, at least they have to put on their shoes, so the footsteps ......... Unless it's not human!。
Although he doesn't believe in ghosts in the world, he is also a little hairy at this time.
For a moment, he forgot about his itch, maybe it wasn't that itchy at all, and quickly flattened the SVD sniper rifle, more than twice as vigilant, staring at the footsteps hidden in the fog in front of him, and the objects that made it.
From the sound, it can be heard that it is coming from the stern direction of the freighter.
Although the footsteps sounded slight, they were amplified several times in his heart, and there was even a feeling of heavy stepping on his heart.
He was so nervous that his fingers on the sniper rifle had stretched to the limit, and he was afraid that if the footsteps didn't stop, he would shoot.
The strange footsteps suddenly stopped about ten meters in front of him, and the fog enveloped everything around him, and it was impossible to see whether it was a person or a ............ who was coming.
"Who is it?! Who's there? Speak.........! The big man asked in a low voice.
He listened with his ears sideways for a while, but there was no movement, but, judging by the vague shadow reflected in the mist, it was supposed to be a creature walking upright, and the edges of the shadow were obscured by the mist, taking on a very strange shape.
