Chapter 34: Warm Resort (6)

"Hmm......? My purpose? Jin Haiping raised his eyebrows, "Hehehe~ I just think your obsession seems to be too deep, so I'm kind enough to enlighten you......"

"Heh, you don't have to worry about it." Yun Lan snorted coldly, turned around and picked up Xiao Hei with an inexplicable face and sat back in the chair. Jin Haiping smiled absently, stood up and poured himself a glass of water.

A few hunters standing on the side also smiled helplessly when they watched the end of this farce.

The tour guide seemed to notice the abnormality of several people, and after serving all the food to the table, she walked over with a smile on her face and asked them why they didn't eat something. A few people could only excuse themselves and say that they had eaten in advance, and then the tour guide had to walk away disappointed after persuading one or two to no avail.

After everyone had finished eating, the tour guide smiled with satisfaction, and after a brief roll call, he took the 21 people alive out of the resort. At this time, the bus carrying several people was parked in front of the resort. The driver on the bus maintained a posture of grasping the steering wheel, and Yun Lan kept staring at him when everyone was queuing up to get on the bus, but found that he was simply frozen and motionless, not only his body, but also his gaze.

This driver ...... There are problems too! Yun Lan couldn't help frowning, but got into the car without saying a word, and then sat in the last row when she came.

If you don't know each other well when you come, you can't help but sit in the seats. Then this time the seat layout has changed, several hunters have a tacit understanding to sit in the back row, while the ordinary passengers in the front row choose to sit with acquaintances or friends, so that they can still chat with each other during the journey.

Yun Lan still sat Xiao Hei beside her, while Jin Haiping chose to sit in the front row of her. Yun Lan turned her head to look out the window and let out a dissatisfied snort.

One seat away from Xiao Hei was another female hunter, Wang Xinru. After she got into the car, she had nothing to do, so she looked at Xiao Hei curiously. Xiao Hei, who felt her gaze, wagged his tail at her in a friendly manner.

Yun Lan also noticed the situation here and looked over. Wang Xinru, who was discovered by Yun Lan, touched her nose a little embarrassed, thinking of her attitude towards Jin Haiping, and couldn't help but smile apologetically.

Yun Lan smiled, and her attitude towards her was completely different from Jin Haiping's. Yun Lan stretched out her hand, touched Xiao Hei's head, and asked in a gentle tone, "Aren't you afraid of it?" ”

"Ahh Well...... Don't be afraid......" Wang Xinru was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved her hand.

"It seems to like you too, you can pet it." Yun Lan smiled softly, and then pushed Xiao Hei in the direction of Wang Xinru, "It's a very friendly child, you can interact with it boldly." Don't look at it big, it's just a child. ”

Wang Xinru was stupid now, she looked at Yun Lan, and then turned her head to look at Jin Haiping, who didn't seem to care much in front of Yun Lan.

This woman ...... Her attitude towards the relationship between men and women...... It's too much, isn't it? Wang Xinru complained in her heart, but on the surface, she showed a happy smile and rubbed a handful on Xiao Hei's head. Yun Lan smiled, she didn't mind at all.

At this time, the car started. The female tour guide stood in front of the car, adjusted the megaphone tied to her waist, and then introduced loudly to the passengers:

"Dear passengers! The place we are about to go to now is a place called the Cliff of Forgetfulness. This place is in a valley and cannot be driven by car, so please be prepared to climb the mountain. The climb lasts for 4 hours, and everyone's lunch is already in my backpack. We will spend 3 and a half hours on the cliff before descending back to the resort. The scenery on the cliff is beautiful, and during this period, you can take pictures or have fun to your heart's content, but ......"

"However, although there are mountain roads for people to climb, there are certain dangers on the mountain itself, so please follow me closely when climbing, do not get lost or messy, and pay attention to your personal safety."

The female tour guide sat back in her front row after admonishing the tourists on one side. She had a bulging bag and didn't know what lunch to bring.

Yun Lan didn't care much about this, she looked at the villages and towns outside the window, it was obviously morning, but there were few people walking on the road, which was very different from the number of people she saw when she came. Yun Lan observed the rare interaction between a passer-by in a straw hat and the vendor in front of a fruit stand, and found that their mouths opened and closed like a machine, and their bodies were stiff and making simple gestures.

Not at all like a normal person.

Yun Lan looked up at the self-moving tour guide in front of the car, and at this time, the corners of her mouth were shallow curved, staring at the window in front of her. For a while, Yun Lan actually felt that this tour guide who was undoubtedly a ghost was more popular than the villagers on the street.

Why is that...... It's because the villagers on the road are also ghosts...... Or are those villagers obviously alive, but they have been turned into this by something?

"Cursed ......" There was a low murmur from the side, and Yun Lan looked for the voice and found that it was Xu Wenlong's voice. Everyone looked at him, waiting for his explanation, Xu Wenlong didn't dare to talk out loud, so he took out a black pen and a small notebook from his pocket, and wrote on the paper:

I observed the actions of the villagers on the street, and found that they were stiff and unusual, but they did have ordinary communication and logical behavior.

I've seen a similar case on a mission where people were changed or restricted by a curse.

So I doubt it...... The villagers outside are still alive, but because of a certain curse, they have become like this. As for the source of the curse...... It is likely to be emanating from the core of what we are looking for in this mission.

The booklet and the pen were passed to each other, and when Yun Lan saw the words on it, she couldn't help but think of the "Dumb Mantra" written by her good roommate in the "There is a Ghost Outside the Window" task. The villagers inside are also confined by a demon-spread curse, and if they speak at night, they will be killed by the demon.

Yun Lan glanced out the window, and the villagers' movements were as stiff as machines and as slow as turtles. What kind of existence would be able to make such a curse? What is its purpose?

Yun Lan handed the pamphlet back, and the group stopped talking.

The roads on the streets are getting more and more remote and rudimentary. Finally, the bus came to a section of mountain road. The first section of the mountain road is quite wide, but the more you get to the back, the narrower it becomes, and it is not suitable for the bus to reverse at all.

The bus stopped, the doors opened, and the tour guide took the lead in standing up and leading everyone off. Yun Lan still chose to be the last to get out of the car, she got out of the car, and the car drove away again, without the intention of waiting for tourists to go down the mountain at the bottom of the mountain.

The female tour guide counted the number of people and made sure that the number was correct, and then continued: "Friends! Now the road in front of us is our way up the mountain! We still walked this kind of ramp in the first part, and after about half an hour of walking, we will start to go up the mountain completely, and then the road to the top of the mountain will become a staircase! ”

"Since the ascent time is expected to be four hours, in order not to waste the time for tourists to play on the top of the mountain, we will not have too much rest time, almost every hour to rest for fifteen minutes, you should be acceptable, right?"

After getting an answer that everyone had no objections, the tour guide took everyone up the mountain with satisfaction.

This time, the hunters are tasked with protecting the travelers, and although it is still daylight, there are no accidents in the future. So the six hunters simply worked in pairs, and three groups of people were scattered in the front, middle and back of the team, so as to ensure the safety of ordinary passengers to the greatest extent.

At the beginning, the arrangement was for the two female hunters to go in the middle, but unfortunately Xiao Hei was really scared, and it also hindered many ordinary travelers, so Yun Lan had to go to the end of the team and join the panting little fat Liu Changdong. Yun Lan is happy to be idle, and her own physical endurance is not very good, so she and Liu Changbo have the same disease.

Climbing a mountain used to be one of Yun Lan's most hated sports, although Yun Lan itself didn't seem to have a favorite sport except walking. It's Xiao Hei, who is very excited to climb the mountain, if it is not afraid that the owner will be angry, it may rush to the front of the line.

The process of climbing a mountain is always boring, especially for those who are tired. For example, Yun Lan and Liu Changdong are so tired that they can't breathe, their legs are shaking, they just don't want to fall behind, and they don't have any extra energy to enjoy the scenery along the way, or chat with each other.

Liu Changdong beside her was tired of scolding, and Yun Lan was also very painful in her heart, but in order not to be surprised on the way up the mountain, she could only clench her palms and stare at the travelers in front of her with her head raised.

The first hour of rest finally arrived, and everyone was very tired, but fortunately, all the passengers knew the travel process in advance, and had already prepared mineral water and some food, and they all sat on the stairs to replenish their strength at this time.

Only Yun Lan, the hunters who didn't know anything, didn't bring anything, and they didn't eat anything, so they could only sit down on the spot to recover their strength.

There was an unbridled rumbling in Liu Changdong's stomach beside him, Yun Lan looked at him in surprise, thinking that his obsession to live was to eat, otherwise as a hunter who had already weakened his hunger, how could he make such an exaggerated stomach scream.

"Harm...... I knew that I would eat and drink in the morning...... What a sin......" Liu Changdong rubbed his stomach and wanted to cry without tears.

Yun Lan was a little curious, so she asked him in a low voice, "How did you die?" ”

Liu Changdong was stunned, glanced at Yun Lan with a "are you polite" look, and then sighed helplessly, and said, "Harm...... Don't mention it...... I used to be a farmer...... But because of the avian flu epidemic in our country, all the chickens and ducks in the house were cleaned up. ”

"No, I didn't take much in compensation, and there were not enough chickens and ducks to supply the partner's orders, and I lost millions of liquidated damages, so wouldn't the family go bankrupt all of a sudden...... My wife and children also ran away, and I was desperate, so I didn't ...... ...... harm"

Speaking of this, Liu Changdong's deep helplessness and melancholy left a sad wrinkle on his face, Yun Lan expressed deep sympathy for him and wanted to comfort him, but he felt that he did not have that qualification, so he was just silent with him after all.

Fifteen minutes is a short time, especially when people are resting, every minute and second counts. Time passed in silence between the two, and with a greeting from the female guide, the team went up again.
