Chapter 13 Cameras
These things happened a little barely able to resist for a few of us, and we didn't make too many mood swings, but Tan Jingya and her party had no dealings with this aspect, and when they saw such an unbelievable strange thing, they couldn't help but be frightened.
The man in the stone had been dead for a long time, and as we left, Aya kept looking back, as if she thought the man inside would suddenly pop out.
However, this bizarre way of death has also raised the vigilance of several of us to a very high level, after all, we all came to those weird and terrifying places, and we know that some unknown mysterious forces are controlling all this. And it is very likely that it is from the poor cicada, for this information, we tacitly did not disclose it to Dongfang Xu.
After leaving the people in the stone, in the forest not far from here, I finally saw the cruel place of death that Weizi guessed, and I saw the broken clothes and fabrics hanging on the bushes or branches fluttering in the distance, a miserable atmosphere that made people feel miserable when they saw it. Everyone walked over cautiously, and when they reached a distance of two or three meters, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The scene was messy, with broken cloth hanging quietly from the branches, but there was not a single body in sight, not even a drop of blood.
After exploring the surroundings, Dong Bing said in surprise, "Where have these people gone?" I just compared the number of clothes, and there were seven or eight of them, but there was no blood, as if they had torn them up and left naked. ”
Lei Hong on the side also walked over after surveying and said: "No, judging from the messy traces here, these people should have had a battle, look here." ”
Lei Hong walked to a tree and pointed to an arm-thick branch, with a small scratch at the end of the branch, which was not easy to detect. He explained: "This should be left by the kind of military thorn in Dongfang Xu's hand, which means that the person holding the military thorn found that there was someone or something hidden on the branch, and it was aggressive, so he stabbed it with a first blow." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the footprints under the tree and said, "The footprints are deep after all, this person's weight should be above that of a normal person, and from the angle from which he stabbed out, his height is about one meter eight." Roughly summed up, a very strong man did not succeed in one blow, but was easily subdued by the opponent. Then it is very likely that people in other positions will be attacked in the next few seconds after the strong man is attacked. ”
Weizi observed back and forth and said, "It is also possible that the other party is not just one person, but a group. ”
As a police officer, Aya also has her own ability to analyze the exploration site, she said: "The person who attacked the strong man was not necessarily the person or anything else in the tree, you look at the back of the tree under the rhizome. ”
On the other side of the tree, two deep footprints were also stepped on, and the distance between the two footprints was at least about one and a half meters. Aya continued to analyze: "According to the height and width standard of a normal human being, it is impossible to step on such traces, the distance between the other party's feet is assumed to be one meter five, then his shoulder width is at least about one meter two, how tall do you think this person must be?" Then the blow stabbed by the Z9 member holding the military stab was actually not a stab at the tree, but the monster's chest, but it was missed by the other party. ”
Weizi pondered for a moment and asked, "How do you know that you were missed?" ”
"The other hand's hand." Aya raised her chin triumphantly, led us to the broken pieces of cloth, and continued, "Do you think these pieces of cloth look like they can tear them apart themselves? ”
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fabric and handed it to us, "The gaps are flat, but the edges are hairy, as if they had been whipped by a weapon like a whip. ”
After that, she said with some distress: "If it is whipped with a whip, how can these fabrics not have blood on them?" It's weird, it doesn't make sense. ”
"There is no blood on the flesh, there is another possibility."
Old Tang, who basically didn't talk much, suddenly spoke: "That is, these people were already dead before." ”
As soon as his words came out, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves in my heart, and secretly said: This old Tang usually rarely speaks, how can he have such thoughts today, but what he said is just to stop with the whip on the flesh and skin without seeing blood, but it is worth scrutinizing when the person is already dead, and it appears here again.
Could it be that these people have all been turned into corpses, and they have not forgotten to complete their tasks and continue to explore the mountains? It's simply... I was about to say that this was nonsense, but suddenly I thought of the dried corpses in the palace on the clouds, those dry corpses that were still serving Liu Lei, or the dry corpses living in illusion. So will the Z9 expedition continue to wander the jungle without knowing that it is dead?
In the whole team, except for Dongfang Xu who didn't speak, only Aya thought that this was Lao Tang's whimsical statement, as for us, we would more or less associate everything with the palace on the clouds, which basically believed half of Lao Tang's words.
After continuing to search in place and unable to find any other clues that could be deduced, they were ready to go on the road again, and Old Tang and Aya also believed that the last two expeditions were estimated to have no chance of survival.
Dong Bing, who was walking in front, suddenly rushed out, and before he had time to ask, Dongfang Xu beside him also noticed something, and his skills were much more vigorous than Dong Bing, running like a cheetah, and he disappeared in the jungle in the blink of an eye. The rest of the people kept up at an even pace, led by me and Rejon.
After a few minutes, I saw Dong Bing standing alone panting, and when he saw us coming to meet, he said, "Just now... There was a figure peeking at us in the dark, and I didn't know if this guy was a dog, and he was running too fast to catch up. I just don't know if Dongfang Cool Brother will catch up. ”
Weizi gently tugged at me and whispered, "I saw that black shadow, but I feel that guy is running like he is floating, and I will tell everyone to be vigilant later." ”
I nodded, beckoned Dabao over, and said, "Let the monkeys out and help us keep an alert." I'm worried that this thing will come again, so by the way, I will inform everyone to wipe their eyes and report loudly if they find anything abnormal. ”
Dabao nodded again and again and went down to complete the task.
The whole team kept on guard and slowly moved in the direction that Dongfang Xu chased out, and after more than ten minutes, there was a commotion in the forest in front of them, and everyone held their breath and raised their guns to stare at the location where the movement sounded.
"Don't shoot, it's me."
This was Dongfang Xu's voice, and he slowly walked out of the bushes, "That thing is gone." ”
With that, he walked back into the group and continued, "But I found a corpse. As he spoke, without waiting for us to ask, he beckoned and led the way.
Passing through a short section of the forest, I saw a large, damp black rock, covered with moss, and a naturally formed crevice under the boulder.
Everyone immediately covered their noses, and I looked up, and there was a decomposed corpse stuck in the gap, but it was not difficult to see from the fabric on the corpse that it was exactly the same as the rag I had just seen, and even the color was almost the same, but because of the dampness, there was a faint fading change.
Dabao whispered in the team, "Could that black shadow be the ghost of this corpse that led us here?" So that we can find his body and put him in the ground? ”
No one agreed, because there was something strange about it, and whether it was a ghost or not, we had to bury this corpse.
While cleaning up the corpses, Dong Bing accidentally found something.
A small video camera.
Dongfang Xu took it in his hand and looked at it, nodded and said: "It's ours, we will record the whole process of each mission, and Lao Tang also has one there, but it is a button type, so that it can be used as the basis for completing the task after completing the task, and at the same time, some information or information will be provided for the analysis and reference of the people above." ”
Weizi stared at the camera and said, "Will it record everything that this expedition has experienced?" ”
Everyone suddenly felt a thrill in their hearts, and they all looked at the small camera in Dongfang Xu's hand, if there was really a picture in it, then everything that happened to the expedition team would have a result.
"Let's see if there's any electricity." I reminded.
Dongfang Xu fiddled with it, his pupils shrank, and said, "It can be activated." ”
I only heard a squeak, the sound of mechanical power, and the power light on the camera suddenly lit up.
