Chapter 2: The Abrupt Woods

The night sky is as dark as ink, and a bus is driving smoothly on the silent wild road, and the bright headlights look as insignificant against the background of the entire night sky.

"Squeak-" The sharp sound of braking broke the silence of the night, and the bus brushed two meters under the action of inertia, and finally stopped.

The originally quiet car was suddenly chaotic, with noises, inquiries, and complaints mixed with the sound of ping-pong drops from some debris.

The driver was a slightly chubby middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, and in the face of the noise of the car full of people and angry inquiries, he was stunned for three or four seconds before he seemed to come to his senses, and explained a little distractedly: "Ahead...... There's no way ahead......"

"No way?" everyone was a little puzzled, and they all poked their heads forward to look ahead. Chu Wen was sitting in the second row, and at this time, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked ahead.

With the help of the bright headlights, Chu Wen could clearly see that the road about ten meters in front of him was abruptly disconnected, he squinted his eyes and looked farther away, the light of the headlights could only let him see the distance of dozens of meters, however, the strange thing was that as far as his eyes could see, the front of the disconnected road was faintly visible as a forest! There was no trace of the highway at all!

"Big brother, are you on the wrong path?" Behind Chu Wen sat a young couple who looked like twenty-year-old students, and at this time, the boy asked, obviously, he had also seen the situation in front of him.

The middle-aged driver still looked a little distracted, but he still retorted very firmly: "Impossible, I have been running this car for seven or eight years, and I walked this road the day before yesterday, even if it is a temporary construction, it should not be like this! We're afraid we've run into an evil ......."

Hearing what the driver said, the car was a little suspicious, the men were looking out the window, talking in twos and threes, and most of the women were a little scared, urging the driver to turn around and leave quickly.

Chu Wen was also a little suspicious in his heart, his eyes slowly adapted to the dim light of the night at this time, and he could see more clearly, the forest was lush and lush, and the vegetation was luxuriant, and he could vaguely see the outlines of some towering trees, which was incompatible with the somewhat barren environment around him, but had the feeling of a primeval forest.

"Listen to me, in my opinion, since there is no road, don't care what the reason is, let's turn around and leave for another way, don't delay the trip. A middle-aged man in a white shirt sitting in the middle stood up at this time and said in a loud voice.

Most people agreed, and the middle-aged driver also agreed: "Well, I can only change the road." With that, he started the car.

"Hey, master, wait a minute, I'll go down for convenience!" At this time, the boy sitting behind Chu Wen shouted.

The driver stopped his movements and seemed to hesitate for a moment before he spoke: "Hurry up, you don't have to run too far, just be on the side of the road." ”

The boy didn't reply and walked out through the open car door.

The driver started the car, turned the front of the car, and did not turn off the engine again, in the hum of the engine, the car gradually quieted down, most of them closed the curtains again, closed their eyes and prepared to continue sleeping, but Chu Wen found that the driver had been looking left and right since just now, and seemed to be a little nervous.

Two or three minutes passed, but the boy had not returned, and the driver was a little anxious at first, complaining, "Why is it so slow?".

The boy's girlfriend was also a little anxious, and shouted out the window: "Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai, what's the matter with you? Hurry up!"

There was no sound outside the car, and the silence was unusual.

The girl's face was not very good-looking: "Zhang Kai! Don't make trouble! A carload of people are waiting for you! Hurry up!"

At this time, everyone's faces were not very good, some people scolded the young people who were playing too much, and some people were afraid that Zhang Kai would encounter some danger, and planned to get out of the car to look for it.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'll call him!" the girl said, dialing her boyfriend's mobile phone, and everyone waited silently.

"No one ......answered" for a moment, the girl's crying voice sounded, she was really anxious, with her understanding of her boyfriend, he shouldn't make such an excessive joke, then the answer is likely to be that he was accidental!

"You keep dialing him, and I'll go down and look for it. Chu Wen comforted at this time, he and the couple had known each other along the way, and in the afternoon, the boy was also enthusiastic about giving himself fruits to eat, and he felt that he should stand up and help them.

Chu Wen stood up as he spoke, but he didn't see the driver open the door, so he reminded, "Master, open the door." ”

"That, little brother, you better not go down, let's wait a little longer!" the middle-aged driver looked a little speechless and stopped.

Seeing the driver's expression in his eyes, Chu Wen's uneasy feeling in his heart became heavier, and he felt more and more that this matter was probably not so simple, thinking of what Mu Xiaoyue had said to him the day before yesterday, could it be that this abrupt forest was the change she mentioned? If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, and this driver is likely to have discovered something before, which is why he behaved so strangely.

Thinking about it like this, even if Chu Wen was not small, he didn't dare to get out of the car alone, he hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Okay, wait a minute!" In fact, Chu Wen really wanted to ask the driver if he saw anything, but he was afraid that if the driver really said it, it would cause people to panic, and once it was chaotic, I was afraid that the situation would be even worse.

After another two minutes, Zhang Kai's phone was still not answered, everyone was a little impatient to wait, and a yellow-haired young man in the back row took the lead in speaking: "If you want me to say, he must be hiding and playing tricks on us, let's leave him alone, drive forward for a while, I'm afraid he will catch up in a hurry!"

"What if he's in any danger? I can't wait, I'll go down and see. The middle-aged man in the white shirt stood up, and the driver understood that this was not the way to go, so he opened the door.

"I'll come with you!" Just when the middle-aged man walked to the door of the car, Chu Wen stood up again and got out of the car after him, he couldn't suppress his curiosity for a long time, and he didn't dare to get out of the car alone, at this time, someone took the lead, of course he had to come down to find out.

At three o'clock in the morning, the night sky outside the car was still pitch black, and none of the street lights on the side of the road were on.

Chu Wen turned on the lighting of his mobile phone, followed the middle-aged man and walked towards the side of the road on the right side of the bus, many people saw it just now, Zhang Kai walked this way after getting out of the car.

But the two looked for four or five minutes along the side of the road, but there was no trace of Zhang Kai.

Chu Wen's heart sank, this time I was afraid that he was really in trouble, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the abrupt forest, because the front of the car was turned around, there was no car lights to illuminate, it was pitch black, but Chu Wen always felt that there was a terrifying monster lurking in the woods at the moment, and it was staring at him coldly. The sensation sent chills down his spine and made him stare at the woods even more nervously.

Suddenly, Chu Wen noticed that something was shining from the place where the forest was, the light was not strong, but it was very conspicuous in the dark environment.

"Look!" Chu Wen stopped the middle-aged man walking in front of him and pointed to the light.

"That's ?......"

"Mobile phone!" The next moment, the two of them thought of something at the same time and spoke together.

"But how could his phone be there? Why did he run there for no reason? If it's just convenient, it's not necessary, right? It won't be just out of curiosity to check it out, right?" Chu Wen said thoughtfully.

"It's a little strange, but I can't take care of it too much, it's likely that he is really in danger, it's important to save people, let's go and see!" said the middle-aged man, who had already walked towards the woods first.

Chu Wen gritted his teeth and followed, in fact, he still had a guess in his heart that he didn't say: Zhang Kai might have been dragged there by some monster or beast! He didn't want to approach that forest in his heart, but he had come down, so he couldn't die without help.

The two of them followed the light source in the woods, one after the other, carefully entered the woods, the further they went, the more frightened Chu Wen became, relying on the light of the mobile phone flashlight, he could see that all around were lush shrubs and ferns, and there were even big trees standing tall in the sky, and there was no top in the dark night.

Despite their curiosity and fear of this strange wood, neither of them said much, for fear of disturbing the beasts or monsters that might exist in the woods.

In this tense and depressing atmosphere, the two finally came to the place where the light was shining safely, and when they looked closely, sure enough, a mobile phone happened to be stuck in a dense thorn bush, and the screen happened to be on, and from Chu Wen's point of view, it was just right to recognize that the screen was showing the avatar of a beautiful girl at this time, which was Zhang Kai's girlfriend!

The two glanced at each other, their faces were a little ugly, the phone fell here, but the person was not there, I'm afraid it's really bad luck!

Chu Wen's uneasy feeling in his heart became more and more intense, he raised his mobile phone and took a picture of the tree on the height, but suddenly saw a strange red face flashing behind the branches!
