Fear is the most vulnerable part of the heart, and no one wants to suffer a heavy blow in the weakest place, which will only make them more unbearable. In the dark forest, there is a pool of stagnant water, and the turbid undercurrent spreads silently in this barren place, once touched, it will corrode people's minds and confuse human nature. What people fear most is not to die at the hands of others, but to end themselves with their own hands.

Upon entering this terrible place, life is also gone, and the withered branches are intertwined, like a moldy dry corpse, their bare limbs, lurking behind the branches and leaves like scales, snakes, insects, rats and ants passing by, which will make them sway, they wait for the opportunity to move, full of murderous intent on outsiders who have entered the realm, and the hidden smell of blood fills the darkness.

"I wonder, where's the damn mark?" He Yongqiang couldn't suppress his uneasiness, everyone present was shrouded in darkness in their hearts, but no one was willing to express it, and people with a short temperament were often the first to have a psychological reaction. "I've been walking along this road for almost an hour, and I haven't encountered any ghosts! Can anyone tell me that there is anything living in this forest besides us? "He brandished a saber more than a foot in his hand, stood in front of a scarred stake, venting his violent and uneasy emotions, and the sharp blade was not growing anywhere he went." Bastards, not even humble reptiles. ”

"Yongqiang, calm down." Applejack gasped and unloaded the heavy package he was carrying, wiping the sweat from his forehead and whispering, "I know the current situation is not optimistic, the simulated satellite positioning map before shows that our trip is not wrong, not to mention, we are also following the mark of Muyu." As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at Tan Lin, who was preoccupied.

"I believe this is the right path and keep going." Tan Lin said, and strode forward.

"Wait, I don't think I should have gone up to the single-plank bridge before." Lu Ming, who was at the back of the team, said suddenly. About twenty minutes ago, they came across a deep ravine with a span of about twenty meters, and the rock formations on both sides were rugged. Here two paths appear, one leading to the bottom of the ditch, the path is clearly identifiable; The other way is a single-plank bridge with a huge tree trunk about one meter in diameter that falls horizontally on both sides of the crack. The wooden pier is engraved with the character "M", which indicates that it is in the Mu language, but similarly, the rock next to the path below is also engraved with the character "M". In the end, after some discussion, they chose the route across the rift valley. "We should follow the road, it is less and less like a road, and I think we should turn back."

"Go back? Walking the eerie path underneath the ditch? No! I don't think it's wise to do that. Applejack expressed her opinion, glancing down at the watch on her left wrist and saying, "Right now, maybe just after one o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is hovering over our heads." He raised his head with the searchlight in his hand, and the huge and vast forest trees, rich and dense branches and leaves, the light was difficult to penetrate through. At this rate, it is not surprising that you will be able to walk out in four hours. ”

"Four hours? Another four hours to go! He Yongqiang angrily slashed at the tree stump in front of him, and a thick viscous green liquid overflowed from the rotten wood. He clutched the semi-automatic rifle in his right hand, and he really wanted to shoot at this dark and strange jungle.

Xiyuan next to her ignored it, she stared at Applejack and asked with a puzzled face, "You just said that the time was about one o'clock in the afternoon?" She stared directly at the watch on her left wrist. You ......"

"It didn't work." Applejack looked at everyone's surprised gazes and sighed, "I thought that even if the magnetic field was unstable, the mechanism would still operate automatically, but I was wrong. ”

"And what time is it on your watch now?" Xiyuan asked uncertainly, his heartbeat increasing sharply, and everyone was expecting his answer.

"Say, what time is it?" Lu Ming scolded angrily, and his legs trembled inadvertently.

Applejack took a step back, swallowing and spitting, her voice low but still resounding in everyone's minds deep in the secluded forest. "Eight, eight-twelve."

"Eight-twelve!" He Yongqiang exclaimed, his body trembled violently, the blade in his hand slipped and plunged into the weeds, and the green viscous liquid infected the barren ruins under his feet. "Hmph, we've been walking for more than ten hours? Hum. In disbelief, he sat limply on the stump of the tree, the overflowing liquid taking the opportunity to hit the crotch of his waterproof fabric.

"No, it's eight and twelve in the morning." Applejack faces everyone's panicked looks, and he is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. "As soon as we stepped into this dark forest, the hands stopped turning. But I hope you can believe me, I have a better control over time than the average person, and the correct time is about 1 p.m. We have to act quickly and get out before it gets dark. "Everyone was silent, lost their direction, lost their main initiative. The signs of Mu language can appear almost every ten minutes, but at this time I haven't seen them for more than an hour. "Listen, any more stalemate like this will only make the situation worse, or we'll go back the way we came." Applejack points in the direction she came. "I'm talking about going back to the jungle the way you came, going back to the camp, and waiting for the next day to make a decision. But God knows what will happen tonight, and we will still follow the signs of Muyu, and for at least a few hours, we have not lost our way and have not met again. I believe in him! Applejack nodded firmly. Either we'll move on now! ”

Everyone was silent, and Lu Ming no longer refuted, what Ajie said was not unreasonable, but at this moment, He Yongqiang suddenly got up and said in a hoarse voice: "You decide, I'll go to the toilet." ”

"Don't do it!" Tan Lin saw that he was leaving, and immediately said.

"If you two women don't mind, I can settle it right here." He Yongqiang sneered, his hands fiddling with the belt buckle under his waist, and his flirtatious expression was disgusting. "I don't care, hehe."

Tan Lin was very repulsed, and her disgust dropped, so she stopped and said, "Okay, whatever you want, but don't go too far, I, I'm just for everyone's safety." ”

"I'm also going to find a convenient place, I've been holding back for a long time." Sun Lei, who had not spoken, turned around and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

"Okay, I'll go too." Xiyuan's pleading gaze looked at Tan Lin.

Tan Lin nodded and followed her footsteps. "Let's go, I'll accompany you."

Seeing this, Applejack sighed and shouted, "Hurry up, everyone, we'll leave in five minutes." ”

The subtle symptoms of the jungle were faintly ringing, and the entire dense forest above the head was agitated with the yin wind, as if something was about to come out, which made people shudder. Lu Ming stared, even if he was distracted, he deliberately asked himself to calm down, he regretted that he took this job, even in the face of heavy compensation, compared to his life, these are not worth mentioning. I thought that this operation would be much simpler, and there were a few bloodthirsty wolves lurking in the depths of the jungle, but they could not withstand the deterrence of firearms. It only takes two seconds, and even a ferocious beast can be shot through its body with a few bullets, disrupting its internal organs and killing it instantly.

At one end of the tree trunk, Tan Lin looked at the darkness in the distance, and she heard Xiyuan's voice on the other side. "I don't know when I'll be able to get out."

"Maybe soon."

"We haven't been able to find the mark, is it him, something happened?"

"No, it won't." Tan Lin shook her head. "He'll be fine." Seeing Xiyuan come over after going to the toilet, Tan Lin whispered to her: "You may not believe it, but I think he must not be simple, I just can't explain what happened last night, but it did happen, it's too weird." ”

"Okay, don't think too much, maybe all these secrets are hidden in Kennel Town, and when we face it, we will be able to solve it." The two women turned to leave, groping their way through the barren and rugged slope by the light of the searchlight.

Suddenly, Tan Lin in front of her stopped, she turned to Xiyuan and asked in a whisper, "You, did you hear any sound?" ”

"Voice?" Xiyuan frowned, shook his drowsy brain, and his ears were indeed buzzing. "What sound?"

"The voice of the voice, as if someone is talking." Tan Lin looked somewhere behind Xiyuan, probably a few dozen meters away from the source of the sound.

"Talk?" Xiyuan was shocked, because at this moment, she also heard the voice, it was a man's voice. "Turn off the lights!" The two of them turned off their searchlights almost simultaneously, and lay behind a hill in panic. Oh my God, there are still people in this jungle, could it be ...... "Sister Tan Lin, it must be the team you dispatched before." "The only thing I can think of now is the 14 military personnel who came here two months ago to investigate. Despite this speculation, Xiyuan still held a Derink 41 in his hand.

(The Derlink pistol series is the most classic of the 43 and 41 models, and the 43 model is a large-caliber single row with a load of seven rounds, and Zhou Meng, the leader of the serious crime team, holds the firearm.) The Type 41 is a small-caliber double-row with a 15-round reload, which is mostly used by police enforcement officers. ）

"Shh Tan Lin was emotional, panting and lowering her voice. "No, it can't be, it can't be them, they're all dead, there must be someone else." Fourteen military personnel were ordered by Tan Lin's father to go to Kennel Town to investigate, and they were all injected with locator detectors on the right side of their waists. The communication equipment can carry out real-time positioning through satellites, and even if the signal is blocked and cannot transmit data, it can also reflect the basic situation of the investigators. Each location detector corresponds to a heartbeat sensing device that can reflect the signs of life in a hostile environment. Tan Lin remembered very well that all fourteen heartbeat monitors were extinguished at that time, and it was impossible for them to survive.

"These people can't escape from the palm of my hand, I will kill them and finish them one by one, as for Tan Lin and Xiyuan, I will play to death and enjoy the fun."

"Do you know what pain is? Tie the body to the torture table, even if it is hanged, pierce the eyelids with hooks and wires, and then flip them around and tie them in place. You can clearly see the pupils torn by the twitching, the blood soaked in the white tender flesh, and before that, it was often pleasure to close their eyes, and after that, I want to let the intense pain sink deep into their fragile memory nerves. Crying and screaming, screaming and screaming, and not dying! No, it's not over yet, it's not over yet! The pain is so great that it can paralyze people's nerves, so we need to slow down the whole process and let the ants understand. The nerves of human pain are connected to the thighs, so the thighs are always shaken by panic, tearing a piece of flesh on the inner thigh, covering it with the remnants of the broken blade, and then a bonfire is lit next to it. The heat increases blood flow, and the scorching flesh can heat up the blade fragments. The wound was so itchy that they tried desperately to scratch it, but there was nothing they could do, they only trembled even more, and the trembling of horror intensified the splitting of the flesh. Even though the nerves in the brain are gradually paralyzed, the closure of the heavy and sleepy eyelids can make the patient more awake. This is called pain and death. ”

"Such a cruel punishment is more painful than cutting open their chests and gouging out their hearts."

"No, dig out the heart, only a mad person can do it, we are not that kind of people."

"And who are you?"

"I'm a sheriff." No one would believe that the two people talking were He Yongqiang and Sun Lei.

Xiyuan trembled, and the guns in her hands kept clashing, and she pressed them against the stone wall before the sound stopped slightly. "Oh my God, yes, it's Yongqianghe, and Sun Lei."

Tan Lin was also stunned, she didn't expect these two people to be so murderous and lurk beside her. If Sun Lei doesn't know it, after all, it's the first time I've seen him, but He Yongqiang and Xiyuan have already known each other. She took a step back with a slight trepidation, wary of Xiyuan. "You, you ......"

"No, it's not me, believe me, I don't know the true face of He Yongqiang. We've been working together for two years, and although he has a short temper, he's definitely not that kind of person! It's weird. "The so-called time has seen people's hearts, and in the past two years, she has never found a single scene of this trick in the other party." Let's go back first and tell them about it. ”

"Uh-huh......" The two slightly trembling figures finally turned into nothingness in the dark depths.
