Following the guidance of the van driver, the expedition team led by Joseph did not take long to reach the end of the loess path.

In fact, the last loess path can not be regarded as a 'road', all the way to the waist of weeds, in the past Changsheng Village and several other villages in the mountains have not been relocated, this road will occasionally be maintained by the villagers of several villages, but with the relocation of the village, this road into the mountain that no one has walked anymore has gradually abandoned into the current overgrown weeds.

"It's time to enter the mountain next......" Joseph took out the map to confirm their general location, "The mountain road may not be easy to walk, and there may be a lot of mosquitoes, so prepare before entering the mountain, wait for Chen Weilun to follow me in front of the road, Shi Yu and Yang Xin are in the middle of the team, Wan Qi You two palaces are okay with this distribution, right?" ”

Saying that, Joseph looked at a few people around him, the autistic man Chen Weilun nodded without an opinion, Shi Yu and Yang Xin also agreed with his allocation, and Wan Qi patted his chest and said, "No problem, it's safer for girls to walk in the middle." ”

"Okay, let's get ready to enter the mountain first." Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Joseph took out a multi-functional sapper shovel and mosquito repellent water from his backpack, and told him to pay attention to a matter after entering the mountain, "The team will follow closely, if you feel that your physical strength is not enough, or you can't keep up with the team, you should quickly call the people in front of you not to hold on, don't panic in case of emergency, calmly move closer to me, and don't use trekking poles to drive it away when you see a snake, just leave it to me to deal with......." ”

"Generally speaking, it is unlikely that these beasts will haunt this vicinity, because this area is still a long-term human activity, even if there are any fierce beasts, they will be driven or dealt with by the state, but it is difficult to say if you go deeper and get closer to Changsheng Village, which has been abandoned for at least ten years, and it is not impossible for some mountain beasts to wander there occasionally......"

"Of course, if you really encounter any bears, wolves, leopards, tigers, and other beasts, don't turn your head and run in a panic, when you are not attacked, you have to keep an eye on the beast, bow your body and roar as loudly as possible, if this still can't stop it from attacking you, hold your trekking poles with both hands, muster up momentum and courage, and knock him!"

Zhao Chensi didn't feel anything when he heard the previous words, but the last sentence made him wonder if Joseph's approach was really useful: "I can understand if you don't turn your head and run, many felines will trigger their predatory instinct when they see creatures smaller than them and weaker than them turn their backs to them, staring at the beast and arching its body to roar to deter the other party, and at the same time notify the surrounding companions to support, I can also understand it, but is it a bit redundant to hit them with trekking poles in the end?" Shouldn't you run now? ”

Joseph raised his head and thought for a moment: "Usually there is such a thing as encountering a beast in the jungle...... By the time you notice the beast approaching and threaten you, you'll have a hard time running away. ”

Shi Yu asked with some curiosity: "Then can you get out of trouble by knocking on them?" ”

"Generally, you can't, but even if you die, you can die with more dignity." Joseph said with a serious expression, "If you are lucky enough to delay until I come over, it is not without a chance to live......

Shi Yu and Yang Xin suddenly showed frightened expressions when they heard this.

Zhao Chensi also felt speechless for a while, turned his head and muttered in a low voice: "If you really want to jump out of a tiger, are you still going to stage a modern version of Wu Song fighting a tiger?" ”

"That's not going to happen, tigers are basically protected animals, and it's illegal to kill them......" Joseph, who was deaf and clear-sighted, shook his head again and again after hearing Zhao Chensi's words, and then saw that the two little girls were a little scared by his words, he hurriedly waved his hand to comfort: "But don't worry so much, generally speaking, this kind of beast will not take the initiative to attack people, and the probability of appearing is not large, as long as you follow the team, there will be no problem......"

…………

The Truth Society, a secret stronghold unknown to outsiders, where the president of the Truth Society and its clerk are staying to deal with the entire operation of the Truth Society.

The middle-aged man in a white coat who was called the president threw away the reports and various written materials from his subordinates, and stood up from the desk full of research materials and books: "It looks like I have to go to the immortal settlement......

"Does the president want to be himself?" The blonde clerk on the side pushed her glasses, stopped writing on the record board, and frowned invisibly after receiving an affirmative answer from the middle-aged man, "With all due respect, now is not the best time for you to leave, many of the plans launched by the Truth Society at the same time require your participation, and the 'master' side also needs you to deal with it, and the failure of those impostors last time has also had a big impact on our plans......"

The chairman brushed back the black hair on his forehead with one hand, and showed a charming smile without any disapproval, trying to fool through: "Don't worry, everything is still in my plan." I'm just going to fill in the gaps...... Besides, there will be no problem for you to preside over the situation here in a short time, after all, you are my right-hand man, and you can do well with the 'master'! ”

After saying that, his figure rippled like waves on the surface of the lake, and he waved at the clerk to cheer her up, and then the president's body dissipated in front of the stunned clerk.

"Huh! Wait for the president......" Seeing that the president didn't explain anything to her at all, couldn't listen to the advice and even disappeared as a phantom, the clerk's young lady suddenly reached out to grab the other party, and even called the boss's name: "Qin Mian!" Don't run! You give the old lady back! ”

She didn't catch anything but a dusty cloud of fine dust.

The road in the mountains was even more difficult than Zhao Chensi had imagined, full of gravel, uneven rocky pavement, wet and soft muddy ground, vines and low shrubs, even though Joseph and Chen Weilun opened the way in front of them and cleared a lot of low shrubs and weeds and vines that got in the way, but the mountain road was not much easier to walk.

As the small villages in the mountains moved out decades ago, the road was abandoned and maintained by the villagers, and was gradually covered with weeds, gravel and mud after small landslides.

And there was a strange feeling of stuffiness and humidity throughout the forest, making people feel as if they were in a tropical jungle area, and many people in the team were in a strange state of intense sweating, and had to stop after walking for a while to replenish water and regain strength.

It was originally a three- or four-kilometer mountain road, and it took them nearly five hours to reach their destination.

Most of that time was spent exploring, repairing the team, eating, and rehydrating.

Luckily, along the way, they were not attacked by the poisonous snakes or beasts they imagined.

The only thing that was a little thrilling was that when the little girl Shi Yu stepped on the mossy rock and slipped a little, she almost fell backwards with her head up, but fortunately, Zhao Chensi, who was following behind, quickly supported her, and finally there was no danger.

After a five-hour trek, led by Joseph, they finally arrived at the deserted village of Changsheng.
