Chapter Seven: Into the Lonely Mountain Village at Night (I) (Revised Version)
The mountain road was stained with blood, and several groups of people fell to the ground with painful expressions, their limbs were pierced by bullets, and the scene instantly evolved from extreme chaos to dead silence.
Jiang Yuan made me understand a life truth, that is, on the surface, the more Sven is not necessarily Sven in his heart, this academic master brother, he is ruthless and ruthless.
Li Laosi asked someone to carry these injured people into the dense forest behind, and I had an ominous premonition and asked him: "Fourth master, where are you sending them?" ”
Li Laosi sat on a big stone and "snorted" with his eyes closed, and said, "A disobedient dog will bite his own people." ”
The meaning of these words is obvious, but I turned my head to look at Jiang Yuan, who was standing at the front of the mountain road at this moment, looking down at the "battlefield" that belonged to him, and then swept over the crowd with cold eyes, and said, "Rest in place and set off in half an hour." ”
More than 30 old men sat in a pile in camouflage clothes again, no one dared to say a word, and the big girls who seemed to be forced to marry by creditors bowed their heads silently.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, we were ready to cross a dense forest, because there would be swamps or earth shells "ambushed" under the fallen leaves in the deep mountains and old forests, and it would be difficult to get out once we stepped into it, so we walked very carefully, and the speed was not fast.
He said that he had been to the deep mountains and dense forests of the Great Khing'an Mountains before, and then he got lost and met the mountain god, and then it was the mountain god who showed him the way to get out safely, I asked him what he meant by saying this deliberately, and he said that it was to remind us not to touch the stone sculptures or boundary monuments or other things at will, because it was likely to be the mark of the gate of the mountain god's grandfather's cave.
Everyone laughed, and although the words went with the wind, the matter was remembered.
There was a sudden whistle in front of me, three long and one short, it was a typical distress signal, I guessed that Jiang Yuan and they had an accident, so I immediately quickened my pace, and when I caught up with the first team, the scene in front of me made everyone stunned.
The open space of twenty or thirty meters long and wide has no grass, and it is so clean that there is not even a single fallen leaf.
From time to time, there will be some pinhole-sized holes on the ground that is as smooth as a mirror, but these holes will disappear in just a few minutes, and then other places will pop up, I used a high-powered telescope to observe this place, and suddenly goosebumps rose all over my body, only to see dense black small insects crawling out of the holes formed in the ground, the number of them is so fast that it is terrifying, and in less than ten minutes, the yellow "mirror" of has become a piece of "black black iron".
One of the people in the second team was standing on a rock, and I don't know what was going on, he suddenly screamed, and then fell straight into this black area, I thought this thing was like an ant, there was no threat to people, so I didn't feel anything at the moment he fell, it was a big deal to find a stream or waterfall to wash it up.
But what I never expected was that when I was still thinking about this here, I was already screaming over there.
Jiang Yuan dragged a tree branch with one hand, his whole body hung in the air, and below was a piece of black press, obviously he wanted to save that person, but everything happened too fast, and the guy who fell just now was already dead at this moment.
I took out a mountaineering rope from my backpack and threw it out just to be picked up by Jiang Yuan, who tied the rope around his waist, and then with the help of my pull, he crossed a parabola in the air and finally landed safely.
"What's going on?" I helped Jiang Yuan to check whether he had any other external injuries on his body.
"The larvae of the ghoul monster." He squeezed out a few words weakly, saying that it would be bad to be a whole person.
Jiang Yuan's face was pale, leaning against a big tree of unknown breed next to me, and at this moment, I noticed his feet, dense black larvae almost crawling all over his right foot.
"Grasshopper, go and call Dr. Kang."
"Got it." The grasshopper agreed and trotted away.
Following Jiang Yuan's instructions, I took out a bottle of brown medicinal wine from his backpack and poured it on his right foot, and the black larvae disappeared in an instant as if they had seen a ghost.
I helped him take off his shoes and socks, and his right foot was unusually red and swollen, and I could clearly see that there was something black squirming on the surface of his foot, especially the subcutaneous tissue in the red and swollen area.
After about ten minutes, the grasshopper arrived with Kang Yan, and when she saw Jiang Yuan's foot injury, she immediately pulled out a black silk thread, then cut her finger with a dagger, smeared the blood on the black thread, and finally tied the bloody black thread to Jiang Yuan's calf.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"The larvae of corpse monsters are bloodthirsty, but they are very afraid of women's blood, especially women like me who have been injected with corpse poison serum, my blood can play a certain role in repelling."
I nodded as if I didn't understand.
Kang Yan burned a silver needle red, then looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Corpse monster larvae left in the blood will infect you with viruses, I have to clean them all out, you bear with it." ”
Jiang Yuan nodded silently, then looked at me and said, "Boss Xiao, you go and help me notify the members of the first team, let them stay away from that area and change the route." ”
I nodded in agreement, and then trotted all the way over to inform his men, and when I came back, I happened to see Kang Yan stabbing Jiang Yuan's ankle with a silver needle, this needle went down, bright red blood mixed with black larvae flowed out, after a few minutes, the redness and swelling had greatly improved, but there were still remnants in a few places, Kang Yan took out a small packet of powder, let us mix it with water and make a paste, and then put it on the surface of our feet and wrapped it in a white cloth.
During the whole process, Jiang Yuan just sat quietly, his facial expression was very calm, and when he was done, he just gave a simple order, "Set off in an hour."
Before leaving, we counted the number of people again, and now there are 27 people, obviously someone escaped without permission, but Jiang Yuan didn't pay much attention to it, just told everyone to change into rainforest protective clothing to avoid poisonous insects.
I got dressed and sat next to Kang Yan to watch her sort out the medicine box, and I calculated in my heart that except for the three members of the fourth team and two doctors, there were only 22 people left who could really fight.
The sun is in the west, and mist begins to appear in the woods, although it is a faint layer, but in this kind of deep mountain dense forest, it is enough to make people lose their way, which is a mortal danger.
We turned on the satellite positioning receiver, received the signal from the air, and followed the instructions on the satellite map all the way south, and by the time it was dark, we should be able to reach the first predetermined camping site.
But now, it's dark, it's all dark.
We were still walking through the woods, all seventeen miner's lamps turned on, plus three bright flashlights and a few ordinary flashlights, as if a glowing centipede was walking through the woods.
Suddenly, Jiang Yuan, who was walking in the front, asked everyone to stop in place, and at this time, I vaguely saw an unusual black shadow in front of me.
It was a big triangle, not a tree crown, but a very large building, which could not be seen in the dark, Li Laosi asked the guy to light a few flares, and with the help of the strong light, I finally saw its appearance clearly.
It is an archway, looking at the nature and specifications, it should not belong to the Han culture, and its shape is very similar to an oversized matsutake mushroom.
"Boss Xiao." Jiang Yuan called me over the walkie-talkie.
I pressed the switch, and just as I wanted to reply, I was snatched by the gnats and thrown on the ground, and the people around me didn't know why, and looked straight at us.
"What are you doing? What kind of wind is smoking? "I'm a little dissatisfied.
The grasshopper looked up at the sky and said, "It is impossible for the walkie-talkie in this place to have a signal, even if there is, why is the indicator light not lit when Boss Jiang speaks." ”
As soon as he said this, I noticed this detail, and I couldn't help but feel a little hairy, the gnats are a craftsman, and the delicate mind is a necessary mental quality in his industry.
"Boss Xiao, come over here." Jiang Yuan's voice continued to come from the walkie-talkie.
One of the guys around me picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, "Boss, where are you?" ”
The other man said, "I found it here in the woods in front of you to the left." ”
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at the dense forest in front of me on the left, but the road we were going to walk was on the right side of the mountain road, I used the binoculars to look at the second team in front, their flags were fluttering on the mountain road on the upper right at the moment, I said to the people in my team: "Brother, it seems that we are in trouble, a team is in the front, which of you will run for me, stop them, remember, we must personally tell him the situation on our side after meeting Boss Jiang, remember, we must tell him face to face." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and finally the lottery decided, and the grasshopper was lucky and won the draw.
Actually, I don't feel at ease if anyone goes, but this inexplicable thing is aimed at me by name at the moment, so I can only stay put, so as not to bring trouble to the rest of the team.
I checked the grasshopper's equipment, and when everything was ready, I asked him to take a piece of jade around my neck to see Jiang Yuan, while I myself picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Boss Jiang, what are you doing there." What do you see? ”
After being silent for about a minute, there were a few screams on the walkie-talkie, and then I heard a woman's voice, saying, "Boss Xiao, I'm Kang Yan, come here, there's something wrong here." ”
At this time, Kang Yan was walking towards me with a medicine box, and she walked in a strange posture, swaying from side to side, like a zombie in a movie.
"Boss Xiao, what should we do?" One of the guys, Ah Bing, asked me.
brushed his hair and shouted: "Brothers, copy guys, prepare for battle." ”
My gun was a short gun that Jiang Yuan had prepared for me, while everyone else had heavy submachine guns.
Kang Yan continued to walk towards us with a strange expression, shaking as if there was something thorny on the soles of her feet.
