Chapter 14: An Inexplicable Way to Die

(There is another chapter in the evening)

The man who equipped us with the equipment had planned to go with us, but the fat man refused, and only told him to prepare a car and let us go by ourselves.

This time, it was really me and the fat man who set off. Although I knew that there was still an orchid in our team, Kelan didn't follow us after all. This made me more or less apprehensive about this operation. And especially the sentence that Lan said before leaving, I still haven't figured it out yet.

What do you call dead man's things? And I remember Lan saying that the box was supposed to contain a dead man's heart.

What does this mean? I remember mentioning in my grandmother's diary that there didn't seem to be anything related to the "heart" in what happened the day after my grandfather woke up. Of course, the first thing that came to my mind was whether the dead man's heart that Lan was talking about could be the female ghost sitting on the back seat of my grandfather's bicycle at the time. If it is, then what follows is easier to explain. But now the problem is coming again. I believe that there are zongzi in this world, but what about female ghosts? Does this ethereal thing really exist?

I was still thinking about it, and the fat man who was driving on the side said, "Don't think about anything you can't figure out." The fat man shuddered slightly, and then said, "The temperature is starting to drop." ”

I looked out the window and saw that the vegetation had slowly thinned as I pondered.

The car drove forward for a long time, and the fat man stepped on the brakes, and the whole car stopped in place. I was defenseless, and I pushed forward, almost hitting the windshield.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I asked the fat man.

The fat man pointed with his chin to a few people who were walking towards us not far in front of him: "There are people." ”

I looked in the direction the fat man was pointing and saw that there were really three people walking towards us. It's three men. But what they have on them shows that they are here to explore.

"Dude," a man with a beard walked up to the car and knocked on the window, "can you drink water under an excuse?" ”

The fat man lowered the window, looked at the other party, and then handed the kettle over. At the same time, he asked, "Brother, did you come out of it?" ”

The bearded man took a sip of water, then turned to hand the kettle to his companion behind him, and said, "The three of us escaped." ”

"Run?" The fat man was stunned. Obviously, the fat man didn't expect this person to use the word "escape". Then he asked him, "What happened inside?" ”

The man behind the beard took the kettle and took a sip, then handed it to a young man with glasses on his forehead. The young man took a few big gulps and gasped for a few breaths before saying, "We are an amateur expedition. When I went in, there were more than a dozen people, but I encountered a lot of incredible phenomena inside, and many people died inside. ”

I was stunned when I heard the guy with the eyes. The heart said that the information I found before only showed that the sound in this valley of death was not susceptible to lightning. How can there be anything else?

"Hey, buddy," I pushed back the jug of water that I had handed back to my beard, "and I'll give it to you." With that, I took something out of the back seat of the car and handed it to him, and asked, "Can you tell me what is going on inside?" ”

The beard wiped the sweat from his face and said, "In addition to some swamps, there is also a kind of insect in this canyon. We've never seen this bug before, and we don't know what it's called. And this insect is so long," the bearded man paused as he said this, and the look on his face told me that he couldn't think of any words to describe it for a while.

"It's very exaggerated." The eyed guy took over and said.

When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How can you exaggerate?" Is it that big? As he spoke, he gestured with his hand.

The beard shook his head: "It's not because of its size. It's what it looks like. ”

"Looks?" The fat man repeated, "What does it look like?" ”

"I don't know what to say." "But if you do want to go in, you'll only know when you see the bugs." He paused as he spoke, and changed his tone to a persuasive tone: "But buddy." I advise you not to go in again. Those bugs are horrible. As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and his face changed. If you touch it, you'll die."

"Then how do we know that what we see must be the kind of bug you are talking about?" The fat man asked. I could tell from the fat man's expression that he was not moved by what these people said.

"I can't describe what it looks like right now." "But if you see it, you'll recognize it." As he spoke, he accentuated: "Moreover, it has almost no natural predators. ”

After a few more words, the fat man was about to leave. During this time, the three crowds of people made us many times, trying to keep us from going in. The fat man finally got tired of hearing this, and simply waved his hand, saying that we must go in anyway. They shook their heads helplessly, then thanked us and prepared to leave. But just as the fat man started the car, the bearded man came over and knocked on the window. The fat man lowered the window and asked him what else was the matter.

"A lot of people died in the valley." Said the bearded man.

"I know," said the fat man. "As you said, there are more than a dozen people in your team."

"Nope." Bearded shook his head, "I'm talking about someone else." As I spoke, I noticed that he looked at me and said, "You are so insistent on going in, I guess you two are not just just exploring." After saying that, he looked at the equipment we had put on the back seat of the car, and said, "But for the sake of the water and food you have given us, I still have to tell you about it." ”

As soon as I heard it, I immediately understood the other meaning. The heart said that these people really happened or encountered something else in it.

Sure enough, the bearded man said, "Actually, the mystery of death in Death Canyon was solved a long time ago. To put it bluntly, the geomagnetic field is particularly strong, combined with the surrounding rocks rich in quartz, which is prone to lightning strikes. However, the way those people died was not killed by lightning at all. ”

The fat man and I were stunned. The fat man asked, "Didn't you die by thunder?" How did that die? ”

The bearded man shook his head: "I don't know either." We went up to check and found no signs of lightning strikes. And there were no signs of external injuries to those people. ”

I shook my head, not understanding.

The bearded man looked at me and said, "That is, they died for some reason." ”
