Chapter 197: Swamp
The two of them sat on the roof and watched the tide of corpses pass slowly below, and they didn't hear a single noise during the whole process, not knowing if it was because the corpses didn't have the ability to make a sound or because they were disciplined.
But if the guess is correct, there is no discipline, if these are all controlled corpses, and all actions are under the command of the same super soul, then it is normal that no sound is made.
But in addition to the lack of sound in the corpse group, there is also a little bit that makes the two of them feel strange is that they actually have a normal reaction, when Fan Wu and Xiaozhu were talking just now, all the corpses in the vicinity looked up at the roof.
Although the footsteps were still following the same route, the eyes were fixed on the two people making noises on the roof, and it was not until they left a certain distance that they resumed their movements of concentrating on walking in front of them.
However, although the corpses reacted to the sound, they did not have any interest in the existence of the two, and they did not even stop for a moment, and still moved forward according to the original rhythm.
The scene is quite weird, with the two people as the center, and all the corpses within a radius of about 10 meters look up, and they return to their original state after leaving this range.
The movements were uniform, as if some program had been set up, and after a while, the two of them also found out about the situation, and they were a little embarrassed to continue chatting, always feeling that it was a bit impolite to harass other people's marches like this.
simply stopped talking, and quietly watched the tide of corpses pass, this time it was a whole day, the number of corpses was too large, and the speed was slow, and the tail of the team had not appeared for a day.
In the middle, the two couldn't help but whisper a few times, but then found that no matter how low their voices were, they would still attract the attention of the corpse, and the difference was only in the range.
However, the smallest range also covers a radius of 5 meters, indicating that these corpses are very sensitive to sound, and even the slightest movement cannot escape their induction.
The two had to use their brainwaves to communicate again, which avoided the possibility of disturbing the corpses, and after waiting for a long time, the corpse tide finally passed.
After the two of them watched the tide of corpses go away, they returned to the ground, looked at the town with almost no traces of destruction, and once again admired this super soul who controlled the corpses, it was really not a simple matter to be able to do it to this extent.
Roundabout to the end of this area again, the two finally saw the swamp in Xiaozhu's dream after another month of journey.
Seeing a place with water and grass in an almost desolate and lifeless area is no less than seeing an oasis in the desert, and the two of them are immediately in a good mood.
Even though this is a swamp, it is quite easy for the two of them to be careful and move on it.
According to his dream, Xiaozhu wanted to take Fan Wu to the depths of the swamp, but the two had to retreat to the side after entering the swamp for a distance.
Because the interior of this swamp is like a huge quagmire, there is no place to settle at all, if it wasn't for the cautious turn of the two just now, it is estimated that both of them would have fallen into it now.
At that time, it was Fan Wu, but fortunately, Xiaozhu was still standing in the field range, and a flyaway gave Fan Wu a little help, so that he could return to the field, otherwise he could only stand there and wait for death.
The two of them returned to the edge of the swamp to discuss, and decided to go around the edge of the swamp to find a new opportunity, because according to Xiaozhu's dream, he had been in the heart of the swamp, and he remembered that there was something that seemed important to him, but he couldn't remember what it was.
Originally, he didn't care what it was, but Fan Wu felt that he should go in and take a look, after all, Xiaozhu's background was as strange as his, and he would try his best to figure it out if he had the chance.
And there is another key reason, that is, after Fan Wu felt that after approaching the swamp, the familiarity he felt from the tide of corpses began to appear again.
As the distance from the swamp narrowed, it became clearer and clearer, and after entering it a little earlier, the familiarity was not only clear, but also very strong.
Not surprisingly, this is probably the starting point of the corpse tide, whether it is for Xiaozhu's dream, his own familiarity, or to figure out the source of the corpse tide, he should go in and explore.
If it doesn't work here, they will change sides, and the two of them have walked around the edge of the swamp for several days, going in wherever they think it is possible, and finally finding a magical path in one of the directions.
It would also be wrong to say that it is a road, because it is a bridge, a very long bridge that stretches deep into the swamp, a wooden bridge with no visible head on the opposite side at a glance.
This bridge seriously violates the common sense of physics, there are no piers underneath, only the bridge deck that looks like it is wirelessly extended, and the two of them can't believe the scene they saw for a while, because it is too unreal.
How could there be a wooden bridge in a swamp that leads to the depths?
Fan Wu was standing on the edge of the bridge, and the sense of familiarity reached its peak after entering, and he felt that there was a voice calling him on the other side of the bridge.
But at the same time, he felt a dangerous aura forming in the air, which made him feel that if he stepped on this bridge, he might encounter unimaginable things, which could be mixed results.
As for whether to go to the bridge, Fan Wu was a little entangled for a while, if it was just himself, it was estimated that he would choose not to be cautious, but this time there was another person with him.
Xiaozhu has become a little strange since he approached the wooden bridge, and he seems to have an incomparable desire for things on the other side of the bridge, and his eyes have never left the place on the other side of the wooden bridge.
And his expression began to be a little confused, as if he was affected by something, and it looked like he was about to fall asleep, could it be that the thing on the other side was really so important to Xiaozhu?
When Fan Wu was still struggling, he heard Xiaozhu speak like a dream:
"Brother Wu, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep... Sleep..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiaozhu was about to lie on the ground and fall asleep, and Fan Wu hurriedly supported him with one hand, so as not to fall into the swamp.
The place where the two of them stood was just a small piece of ground in the middle of the swamp, just enough to stand for two people, which was not enough for Xiaozhu to lie down and sleep, but fortunately his body was very light, and there was no problem in holding it for a short time.
Fan Wu is no stranger to Xiaozhu's second sleep skill, which has happened several times in the past two months, and sometimes he will suddenly fall asleep while walking.
Xiaozhu doesn't need to sleep every day, he only sleeps three times in two months, but he has several characteristics of sleeping, second sleep, can't wake up, and long time.
Sleep in seconds is anytime and anywhere, as long as he sleeps and feels that nothing can stop him, no matter what he is doing at the time, he can immediately enter a state of deep sleep.
Needless to say, Fan Wu didn't try to give him a heavy blow, anyway, the regular shouting and slapping couldn't wake up the sleeping Xiaozhu, so he could only wait for him to wake up naturally.
And although Xiaozhu slept for different lengths each time, it was never less than three days, and the longest time he slept was 5 days.
What's also a little strange is that Xiaozhu didn't breathe normally when he slept, and if he couldn't still feel the breath of life in his body, he thought he was asleep.
It's okay in other places on weekdays, but today I actually fell asleep in this place, Fan Wu was a little speechless about this younger brother's second sleep skills.
Originally, I was still thinking about not being able to get on the wooden bridge, but now it's okay, even if I want to go up, I have to wait until Xiaozhu wakes up, it's impossible to take him to the other side in this environment full of uncertainties.
It was also troublesome to take him back and go out, Fan Wu decided to simply rest here, but it was not a way to keep supporting him like this, so Fan Wu picked up Xiaozhu and jumped directly to the bridge.
After going up to the bridge deck, Fan Wu cautiously observed everything around him, fortunately nothing happened, waited for a few minutes, and made sure that there was nothing unusual before putting Xiao Zhuping on the bridge deck, and he sat next to him to rest.
It didn't take long for him to sit down, not from the swamp, not from the wooden bridge, but from the small bamboo lying beside him.
In the past, Xiaozhu slept like sleeping, and there was no other abnormality except for the suspension of breathing, but now Fan Wu saw him suddenly stand up and walk towards the other side of the bridge.
Fan Wu didn't stop him, because Xiao Zhu's body was still lying beside him, and the one who stood up was just a phantom Xiao Zhu, like his soul.
What's going on?And Fan Wu also noticed a detail, Xiao Zhu was still breathing when he first slept, and stopped immediately until the phantom left his body to breathe.
Could it be that every time he sleeps, his breathing stops because this soul-like phantom leaves his body? Then why hasn't he seen this phantom before, even if he didn't pay attention when he left, he should be able to see it when he returns.
And it's happened so many times, how can you not see it every time? Unless you really can't see it at all, then why can you see it here? Is it because of the environment? Wooden bridge?
It was because he thought that he had never seen the appearance of the phantom before, that Fan Wu was not sure if it was Xiaozhu's soul, because if it was a normal soul, it was impossible for Fan Wu not to see it.
So he suspects that this is not Xiaozhu's soul, but he doesn't know what it is, could it be that Xiaozhu's previous dream, the so-called dream outing, is the itinerary of this phantom?
Fan Wu thought of a lot of possibilities after seeing the phantom appear, but he didn't come up with an accurate conclusion, so he could only wait and see what happened now, and wait until Xiaozhu woke up to discuss things about this phantom with him.
After the phantom left Xiaozhu's body, he didn't face Fan Wu, as if he was attracted by something, he flew directly towards the other side of the bridge, and soon disappeared from Fan Wu's sight.
After it crossed the bridge, the scene environment suddenly underwent some unexpected changes, and a burst of mist slowly drifted out of the swamp under the bridge, and the bridge deck that could have been seen to the end was slowly covered by this layer of mist.
As the concentration of the mist increased, the visibility became lower and lower, and finally even the place where the two of them were was completely obscured by the thick fog.
