Chapter 233: Outpost 17
……
The journey behind was very easy, and it took Lin Chen and Li Xiao a while to reach the location of the No. 17 outpost.
It's just that Li Xiao's face is a little ugly, after all, he almost fell to his death under the cliff several times halfway.
"Huh? The sound of an explosion? Lin Chen suddenly stopped, turned his head to look behind him, but in the snowstorm where the visual clarity was extremely low, there was nothing abnormal at all except for a piece of black pressure.
"Lin Chen, did you hear that too?" Li Xiao bit her bloodless lip and looked up and asked.
Because of the extreme cold, even the body of the soul remover suffered from hypothermia.
"The explosion sound from the wind, it may be that Chen Chuan and they are in trouble." Lin Chen stared solemnly into the distance, trying to see through the layers of wind and snow to see the other side.
"Ahh Isn't that dangerous? Li Xiao's tone was quite nervous.
"That's not going to happen, Chen Chuan is a decent person, oh no, smart man." Lin Chen shook his head, and then walked forward, "Don't worry about them, the mountain people have their own tricks, let's go." ”
"Oh."
……
Outpost 17 may sound like a big one, but it's actually just two rooms.
One was where the sentries slept and cooked, and the other, slightly smaller room next to it, was the watch room.
The weather here is cold all year round, and all the food is brought up from the bottom of the mountain.
For easy storage, the vast majority of food here is canned food, compressed biscuits, instant noodles and the like.
"The stuff is still there, and the cans are all dusty." Lin Chen stared at the storage cabinet with food in front of him and said to himself, "It's been a while since I disappeared. ”
"Lin Chen, look! I found something that seems to be a private diary! Li Xiao's voice came from another room, quite joyful.
"Oh? Diary? That's a good thing! ”
……
The diary is a bit old, and it looks like it's been around for a while.
On the cover is written the name, Zhao Junguo.
Skipping the previous incident, Lin Chen looked directly through the diary from back to front.
……
In the middle of the night on December 11, the newcomer Xiao Li said that he heard what seemed to be a wolf's howl, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he went out to lock the door of the courtyard. ’
I didn't take it seriously, saying that it was normal for a wolf to bark, and it was okay, so Xiao Li went to sleep by himself. ’
Actually, I didn't say anything, I didn't hear any wolf howls at all. ’
In the middle of the night on December 12, Xiao Li said that he heard the wolf howling, and he persuaded him to talk badly. ’
On the evening of December 13, it was my turn to be on duty this time, and to be honest, although I have been working at the outpost for so long, I am still very cowardly every time I am on the night shift alone. ’
"What's the wolf howling, Xiao Li Jing said blindly, and punish him for twenty squats tomorrow morning." ’
……
"Wolf howl?" Lin Chen pondered for two seconds, there are indeed plateau wolves, but at this altitude, wolves don't dare to come up.
"Let's take a look at the next page," Lin Chen said and turned the page.
But when Lin Chen read the contents of the diary clearly, Lin Chen felt that his breathing was a little stagnant.
The handwriting in the diary was neat before, but by this page, the handwriting was not only sloppy, but also the tone was a little wrong in some places, as if the person who wrote the line was not the author of the diary at all.
……
'Midnight on December 14th! It's probably the middle of the night! God, I really heard the wolf howl! Seems to be right outside the courtyard! Hell yes! Sounds like a bunch! These brutes! ’
'Morning of December 15th...... I specially asked Xiao Li, did you hear the wolf howl last night, and Xiao Li even asked me where the wolf howl came from?! ’
'How is this possible!' Last night's wolf howl was going to be dead! This bastard slept so hard?! ’
'December 16th...... The wolf howls again! It's too close! It's too close! It looks like it's in the courtyard! What's going on! I locked the door before evening! ’
'Would you like to go out and have a look?' ’
'Forget it! ’
'Morning of December 18th!! Lose your marbles!!! It's all crazy!! Last night I heard brutes scratching the door of the duty room with their claws!! The wolf is out there!! How can it be!!! ’
'Xiao Li and Lao Wang both said they didn't hear it, strange, too strange......
'No!! How do I feel that Xiao Li and Lao Wang have been peeking at me, that feeling is very wrong! ’
The smiles on both of them were so weird! Wrong! I'm going to sleep alone in the duty room today......'
'Something is wrong! Wrong!! Wrong!!! ’
……
"The owner of this diary on this page wrote a lot of things wrong in one breath," Lin Chen guessed, it is estimated that from this time, Xiao Li should have been parasitized, and as for Lao Wang, it is estimated that he was parasitized a long time ago.
"Let's take a look at the next page," Lin Chen cautiously turned to the next page, and surprisingly, there were only two lines left unfinished on this page.
……
'In the middle of the night on December 19th, the wolves came again, I had to do something, the guns and bullets were hidden during the day, and I had to go out tonight to check what was going on...... I hope it's all my delusion! ’
……
"Gone?" Li Xiao exclaimed a little on the side, after all, this diary did look a little depressing.
"Well, no, it's not written in the back," Lin Chen quickly flipped through the blank page behind him, and said cautiously after confirming it, "It seems that this Zhao Junguo should be more than lucky." ”
"There were no signs of a fight outside, and there were no bullet casings," Li Xiao said after going out to take a look.
"Well, as expected," Lin Chen sighed and put the diary on the table, at this moment, Lin Chen suddenly remembered, if the beginning of the incident was that Lao Wang was parasitized first, then, where did Lao Wang go in the first place?
"If that's the case, it should also be in Zhao Junguo's diary," Lin Chen quickly opened the diary, turning forward from December 11 at a glance.
"No. 10 is not, No. 9 is not...... No. 1 is not, wait, it should be this sentence. Lin Chen's hands were stunned, his eyes were fixed, "On November 30, Lao Wang said that there seemed to be a nest of snow rabbits in Shigouzi, I said where did the rabbits come from in this ghost place, Lao Wang felt that he could take Xiao Li to practice guns, shoot targets, and add a meal if there are rabbits, and it is not good to eat canned food like this." ”
"Shigouzi?" Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked up at the map behind the duty room, and after more than ten seconds, his eyes locked on a place drawn with a red pen, "It's not far from here, go out of the door and walk straight to the right for three hundred steps." ”
"Hmm," Lin Chen nodded, and put the diary into the space on the back of his hand, in case it was useful.
"Lin Chen, what's the wolf howl?"
"I don't know," Lin Chen shook his head slightly, "Next, pay attention, we are estimated to face the crack." ”
"Okay."
Saying that, one big and one small, two people disappeared outside the door.
It's just that what neither of them knows is that at the moment they disappear.
The red blood slowly seeped out from the map, and little by little, the stone ditch circled by the red pen was dyed bright red.
Hoodoo.
