Chapter 247: The Night of Terror (Today's fourth chapter arrives, this chapter is for the alliance leader Holy Trode)
Chu Nan took off his helmet, revealing his true face, and said, "Why don't you stay here and not go to the city?" It's close to the mountains, but I'm afraid it's not safe. ”
Seeing that Chu Nan was really a human being, these people were all relieved, and they could hear Chu Nan's question, but everyone showed a strange look.
"I was about to ask you about this, you came from there." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and carefully pointed to the road Chu Nan had come over before, with a strange look on his face.
Seeing Chu Nan nodding, the expressions on the faces of these dozen people became even more weird.
"How is it possible, haven't you come across a haunted house?" One of the young men couldn't help but whisper.
"Haunted house?" Chu Nan frowned slightly.
"It's a small log cabin that looks like it's been abandoned for a long time, and it used to be a place where the forest rangers patrol and rest...... However, after the death of the last ranger there, it has become a haunted house that no one dares to approach. The young man said this, with a look of fear on his face: "You came from that side, didn't you bump into it?" If you do, how can you survive it? ”
Chu Nan understood that the haunted house they were talking about should be the somewhat weird wooden house he encountered on the way before, a large number of ant corpses were piled up around, and he heard these people call the wooden house a haunted house, Chu Nan also had some faint hairs in his heart.
"I did see a small wooden house on the way, surrounded by corpses of various mutant ants, is that wooden house what you call a haunted house?" Chu Nan opened his mouth to ask, and continued: "What do you mean by saying that the ranger died there?" ”
The middle-aged man had a look of fear in his eyes. "That happened before the earthquake. No one knows why. The ranger hanged himself in the hut, and the police said it was a suicide, but it was ...... But the hands are tied behind their backs, how can a person who commits suicide tie his hands behind his back, there are private rumors in our area...... He said that he encountered something unclean and was hanged by that thing...... Since then, strange things have often happened in that room. After the earthquake...... It's even more terrifying, we, not because we don't want to leave here, but we don't dare to approach the haunted house, strange, why can you come over safely? ”
Chu Nan frowned and said, "Even if there is the haunted house you mentioned here, then, you can leave on the other side." After speaking, Chu Nan stretched out his hand and pointed ahead. This direction is also the direction he is going to go.
These dozen people. Shaking his head almost at the same time, signaling that he could not walk there.
"No way, you can't go here." When the middle-aged man said this, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and said with wide eyes: "Are you going to go here?" ”
Chu Nan looked at their watch, and faintly realized that there must be something very dangerous ahead, so he turned around and said, "Could it be that there is something similar to a haunted house in this direction?" ”
These people looked at each other, and for a while, the middle-aged man spoke: "There, there is a place called mass graves, as long as there are living things in it...... They will not come back alive, and they must not go in there. ”
Chu Nan frowned.
One of the young men suddenly cried out, "I see, I understand why you can get here safe and sound...... What the hell ...... The haunted house...... Intentionally letting you in...... And then...... Will you be the same as us...... Stuck here...... Endure ...... every day This fear torments us ...... We're stuck here...... In the beginning, there were more than 200 people...... Right now...... Now only a dozen of us are dead...... We ...... every day All suffering from this invisible fear, no one knows who will die next...... You...... You're just like us now......"
The young man, staring blankly at the sky, muttered to himself, trembling and frightened.
Chu Nan looked at these people, all of them had deep eyes, yellow faces and thin muscles, and seemed to have suffered great torture to live to this day.
"It's going to get dark...... Everyone...... Let's make a fire, or ...... Otherwise, something terrible will happen. The middle-aged man looked at Chu Nan and said, "Young man, you can't go to the mass grave, although I don't know how you got in, but ...... Want to escape...... But it's impossible to ......"
Chu Nan shook his head and said, "I have something to do, I have to go there, what kind of grave is this, just go and see it." ”
Seeing Chu Nan's insistence, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "That'...... Or you stay here all night, tomorrow is dawn, and then go to the mass grave, during the day, there is the sun, and your chances of getting through guò will be greater, and the night will be ...... Don't go. ”
Chu Nan looked up at the sky, the sky was indeed about to be completely darkened, and although Chu Nan was not afraid of the haunted houses and mass graves they said, he was also a little hairy in his heart.
After all, he had seen the haunted house halfway, and it was indeed a little weird, which made him faintly afraid in his heart and did not dare to approach.
"Mass graves, it's not a good place to listen to the name, go to the ...... at night It's really too dangerous, this world can't be solved by common sense, it's better to be cautious. ”
After thinking clearly, Chu Nan nodded and agreed, preparing to spend the night here temporarily before making a decision.
Of course, Chu Nan is not completely trustworthy about these people, who knows if they are playing tricks, but he fused a magnifying glass, whether it is poison, drug or other negative states, he is generally immune, which makes Chu Nan not afraid that these people will secretly do anything.
Seeing that Chu Nan agreed to stay, these people led Chu Nan into the humble house that had not been built long ago.
It was empty, almost nothing, except for the remnants of burned wood in the center.
These people watched as the sky darkened, and busily took out a lot of prepared wood and piled it up in the center, raised it in the air, and then began to make a fire.
The oldest middle-aged man asked for Chu Nan's name, and at the same time introduced himself.
Chu Nan truthfully said his name, and also knew that his name was Wang Yizhong, and everyone else habitually called him Uncle Wang.
The fire was raised, and all ten people gathered around.
On the November night, although it was a little cool, there was no need to raise a fire to keep warm, but Chu Nan obviously felt that the surroundings were unusual.
As the sky completely darkened, the temperature in this area dropped rapidly, and even the water mist could be seen in Haqi.
Many people shivered with cold and could only huddle around the fire to keep warm.
Although Chu Nan's body is almost superhuman compared to ordinary people, he also feels the cold, and he is slightly better when he is roasted by fire.
"Now you know why we're building a fire." Wang Yizhong smiled bitterly: "This time, at night, it's getting colder and colder, and we can't stand it anymore, and we want to escape every day, but ...... Those who tried to escape were dead, and it was useless to go in either direction. ”
"You said that there were more than 200 people here at the beginning, and they all died?" Chu Nan asked.
Wang Yizhong nodded and sighed gloomily: "Yes, now only we are the ones who are dead, and we don't know when we will die again, because this place is too remote, we can't escape, and there are almost no outsiders coming in, these days, you are still the first outsider to come in." ”
Chu Nan asked, "What is the terrible thing about the mass grave you are talking about?" Why can't you get out? ”
When Wang Yizhong heard him mention the mass grave, a trace of fear welled up in his eyes, and he was about to say something, when suddenly a gust of wind blew into the outside of this simple house.
The wind howled violently, shaking the flames of the fire.
Suddenly, everyone stopped talking and looked out together, their eyes showing fear.
The wind outside was whining and howling, and the temperature of the air dropped further, making people feel colder and colder, and even huddled around the fire, everyone was still shivering from the cold.
Chu Nan squinted, took the jade sword, and suddenly stood up.
Wang Yizhong looked frightened and said in a low voice: "Don't ...... Don't be impulsive...... No matter what's going on outside, it's ...... Don't even look at it...... Don't go out ......"
The door was tightly closed, and the wind blew the door and made a continuous "pop" sound, Chu Nan ignored Wang Yizhong's words, approached the crack in the door, and looked outside.
The others all showed frightened expressions when they saw Chu Nan being so bold, but they all covered their ears and even covered their heads, not daring to speak.
Chu Nan put on a blue helmet, shrouded his whole body, and through the crack of the door, he could deeply feel the whining sound of the wind blowing outside, like a ghost howling.
The wind was howling, the sand was flying outside, and at night, this area seemed to have completely turned into a ghost domain.
By the fire, Wang Yizhong and the others were huddled together, full of fear, and Chu Nan stood by the crack in the door, without saying a word.
Suddenly, in the whining wind, there was a sound of crying.
Chu Nan's ears moved slightly, revealing an awe-inspiring look, and suddenly, his hairs stood on end, his eyes widened suddenly, and he pressed against the crack in the door, looking outside.
I don't know when, the wooden house called a haunted house by Wang Yizhong and others actually appeared not far away.
It was like this, standing alone and pitiful in the darkness, no more than twenty meters from them.
The wind was howling, the wooden door of the wooden house was constantly shaken by the wind, and the sound of squeaking kept ringing.
What's even more strange is that there is a bright fire shining out of this wooden house.
It seemed to be a candle flame, and Chu Nan could vaguely see through the window of the wooden house that there seemed to be a shadow of a candle shaking inside.
The sound of the woman crying was coming from the wooden house.
Through the bright window, Chu Nan could see clearly that the candlelight reflected the dark shadow of a woman, stretched long on the window.
Chu Nan clenched the jade sword, and there was a faint cold sweat on his back. (To be continued......)
