Chapter 323: The Vortex
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly, the whole car shook violently, and everyone was shocked. Fax, "Yanshi" immediately turned to look at Ren Yi.
"There's an Adventist up ahead?" The fax was shocked.
"No," Ren Yi shook his head.
"You still don't believe them?"
Ren Yi stopped the car, silently took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to the two of them, "Look at it, what is this?"
The note seemed to have been hastily torn from a certain print, and the handwriting was already blurred. I don't know what dye was used to draw a crooked circle pattern with burrs at first glance.
"Huh?" "Yanshi" tilted his head and leaned up, looked at it for a long time, and gestured with his hands, "It seems to be ...... Looks like a sea urchin?"
「…… What kind of sea urchin is it," Ren Yi gritted his teeth helplessly, "What do you think of faxing?" Isn't this pattern familiar?"
"It's ......" Fax stared at the note, the expression on his face changing drastically from blank to blank.
"You can see it, right," Ren Yi sighed, "It's a stick figure of a 'whirlpool'."
"Where did you find this?!" Hearing the conversation in the first car, Lao Li and "Falling Moon" in the two cars behind also changed their expressions drastically and shouted.
Ren Yi said slowly, "I found it when I was repairing the car, and it was under the car."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, "How can you get under the car?" No one approached the car but you? Who threw this note in, and for what purpose? Is it one of those outcasts? Would it be nice to just say no?"
"Unless...... Unless he has something inconvenient to say." Lao Li said.
"That group of people is ostensibly a group, but secretly they are divided into two groups. Maybe the leader has the intention of harming us, but the rest of the team can't bear it, but they don't have the opportunity to be with us alone, so they can only communicate it in this way."
"Perhaps...... There's another answer." Ren Yi held the note and said slowly.
"Does this thing have to be written by a "human"?"
"What if it weren't? The meaning of this note is clear," everyone retorted, "who else but a human being can express himself so accurately? And also use pen and paper?"
"You say no one has ever come near this car, it's because you've overlooked a ...... No, or rather, "one." Ren Yi said slowly.
"Huh?" A look of surprise gradually appeared on Fax's face, "You mean, this note was stuffed by the monster who destroyed the engine?"
Ren Yi nodded, "Except for it, nothing else has ever come closer."
"No," Lao Li laughed dryly, "That thing, how can it draw." It's also scary. Could it be that they have developed intelligence under the influence of radiation? Then they should also be on the Adventist side, how can they help us?"
"yes...... Didn't they chase us all the way?" "Yanshi" was puzzled, "Why did you suddenly become one of our gang again?" Give us a message back?"
"I can't figure it out either. Perhaps, it is trying to prevent us from approaching the maelstrom?" Ren Yi pondered.
Whew......
At this moment, the rustling sound of the jungle sounded one after another, and all the shadows of the trees were shaking, and the whole forest seemed to be spinning.
Yanshi's pupils turned red for a moment, and she looked into the distance and muttered, "These things are here again."
"It's okay," Ren Yi said calmly, "Let's not make a move, slowly exit the forest and go back the way we came."
"If they really tried to dissuade us, they would let us go."
Ren Yi didn't speak again, turned around, and turned back. The two cars behind followed, their headlights briefly illuminating the darkness in the jungle and disappearing into the place where they came. The fluttering in the grass continued, and many colored eyes poked out, staring motionless as they left.
The three cars were driving on the road where they came, "Sure enough, it's fine. I don't know if that's what they're trying to convey." Fax said.
"If so, I'm afraid it's going to be a tough battle."
Ren Yi held the steering wheel and looked ahead.
"Why?"
"If those monsters are on our side, then the group of people who show us the way must have some ulterior motives. Once you see that we are not fooled, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain. If we're going to get to the lab, we're going to have to go the same way, where the whirlpool came from."
"I have a way to make a simple temptation." Ren Yi said slowly.
The road in front of them became more and more familiar, and the dilapidated residential building reappeared in front of them.
The group of more than 20 people was still resting in place, and when they saw the lights getting closer and closer, they all stood up in surprise.
"Huh?" When he saw the oncoming car clearly, the leader stopped at the intersection and waved vigorously, "Why are you back again?"
Ren Yi slowly slowed down and stopped beside their convoy. Lowering the window, Ren Yi smiled helplessly, "We have gone far away, and we have encountered that group of monsters again. Another car broke down."
After that, Ren Yi pointed to the car that Lao Li drove at the end, with a tow rope tied to the front and the other end hanging on the back of the "Falling Moon".
Ren Yi secretly observed, and the expressions of this group of people were not unusual.
"We don't dare to stop on the mountain road, there are monsters everywhere. Luckily, I didn't have a long way to go, so I had to go back."
The group didn't say anything, but went on patrol. Ren Yi untied the wire rope and began to pretend to repair.
The sky was getting darker, and it was night after the speed of time had increased. The sky was unusually dark, not suitable for hurrying, so I had to rest in place.
That night, although everyone lay down in the car, no one was left on duty for the night, but they were all secretly tense.
They won't use the same trick twice, and in order to prevent long nights and dreams, they will definitely do it tonight.
Ren Yi remained motionless and listened to the sound of his watch ticking in the closed and narrow car, there was a dead silence outside, and the night fog was filled, gradually surrounding the entire building.
Zizi ......
After an unknown amount of time, a distorted ripple of radiation floated out of the mist.
"It's the Advent." The goddess's voice rang out suddenly.
Da, da.
An eerie footstep kept approaching in the mist. A yellow glow lit up in the gray-white, constantly drifting towards this direction. Ren Yi was already vigilant, and the "Heaven is Round" kept spinning.
Bang!
Suddenly, a hand fell on the window in front of Ren Yi's eyes!
Ren Yi rolled over and bounced up.
"Hey!" A face shrouded in an earthy yellow hood leaned close to the car window, lowered his voice and shouted to Ren Yi, "There is another whirlpool ahead!" Let's go!"
The white mist was slightly blown away by the wind, and Ren Yi vaguely saw that the two dozen or so homeless people were all carrying their weapons and ready to go.
Ren Yi looked sideways into the distance, and sure enough, a small gray cyclone had just appeared in the sky, and a slender tentacle popped out of it, which was constantly writhing!
