Chapter 11: Miasma
The lush trees showed that there were definitely a lot of creatures here, but the whole island was extremely quiet, and several people seemed to understand that there was a danger hidden here.
I'm nervous, but I haven't encountered anything yet, but it's always a good idea to be vigilant.
But some people don't know anything, they still have curious expressions on their faces, and some people even enjoy it. It's a pity they didn't know, and the nightmare soon began. They will face despair and hell.
A few men were left on each ship, while others were equipped and ready to explore the island.
Yun Xian looked at the island and felt more and more uneasy, and before leaving, he ordered everyone to bring more things.
Lan Yan and Yunxian walked behind the team, and the more they walked inside, the more strange the atmosphere became, and the more uneasy they became.
The surrounding trees were rich but did not feel much life, Yun Xian looked around and said the doubts in his heart, "We have been walking for so long, but you have found that there do not seem to be animals here."
"That's right, there are so many plants here, how can there not even be a single bird or insect. Lan Yanxi stopped and looked around.
"There's no monster, I think it's eerie. Zhao Qing wiped her arms and shrunk her neck.
"Yunxian, should we let them stop first, I think this island is too weird. Lan Yanxi tugged at the strap of his backpack.
"They won't listen to us, you all keep along, it's so foggy here, be careful of getting lost. ”
Although they had been walking around the island for most of the day, they felt that they could not finish their journey, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was foggy.
Professor Wang, who led the team, was on crutches and helped his glasses, trying to return the same way, but when he took out the compass, he found that the compass was constantly spinning, and it seemed that it was no longer usable, and the magnetic field was chaotic.
Everybody has a compass, but it's no longer working.
Seeing that the compass suddenly failed, these rich children who had never seen the world panicked all of a sudden. No more excitement and curiosity from the beginning.
Professor Wang can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, so let everyone rest in place immediately.
The fog is getting heavier, the sky is getting darker, and the temperature is getting cooler.
Some people wanted to make a fire to keep warm, but the fog on the island was too heavy and humid for a fire to start at all.
"What kind of place is this...... Some pampered people began to can't stand it anymore and scolded.
"Classmates, calm down, don't stir up everyone's emotions, we're trying to figure out a way. Professor Wang was comforting.
And the others seem to be starting to get dissatisfied, although not so loudly.
It's better to make a fire in this unknown place, Yun Xian began to try to make a fire again, although it took a while, but it was finally lit.
The sun had not yet completely set, but the forest had completely darkened, but no one dared to sleep at all, because the surroundings were so strange and surprisingly quiet, and the trees here were lush but there was no life at all.
But after a day's walking, I gradually fell asleep.
The forest is quiet at night, except for the sound of the waves and the crackling of matches.
The firelight flickered and danced strangely, and the timid people had already rushed into the crowd.
Yun Xian didn't fall asleep, and kept his ears on the situation around him.
I have to say that Yun Xian is not bad.
The nights are getting deeper and the temperatures are getting colder. Gradually, Yun Xian fell asleep in a daze.
"Ah......h
A scream broke the silence of the island and woke up the people who were sleeping.
"What's wrong?" said Bu Hao, rubbing his eyes and squinting his eyes.
"Dead people, all dead people............" The two female classmates stumbled back, stammering.
Yun Xian and a few people hurriedly went over to take a look, this time a few people instantly felt numb in their scalps, and a cold sweat broke out all over their bodies, several people had already trembled, Yun Xian pretended to be calm, but he himself was also trembling.
"How can there be so many dead bodies here. Professor Wang lifted his glasses and looked at the dead man in the pit in front of him.
The corpses had begun to decompose, emitting a foul stench.
Several people thought that they had been resting not far from the corpse pit yesterday, and now that they thought about it, they broke out in a cold sweat.
"Quick, everybody, get out of here, let's get back to the ship. ”
After all, Professor Wang has seen a lot of knowledge, so he asked everyone to go back quickly, and a dead man's pit suddenly appeared on a deserted island with no one, and everyone knew that it would definitely not be safe here. After packing up his belongings, Professor Wang prepared to take everyone back to the ship.
Early this morning, Professor Wang found that the compass could be used again, but since yesterday, he has not been able to contact the people on the boat, because there is no signal on the island, so everyone is equipped with a pager, but it is impossible for no one to be able to contact Now that this kind of thing has happened again, he is becoming more and more worried.
Lan Yanxi found that Yun Xian looked around cautiously all the way, as if there was something hidden nearby, so he pulled Yun Xian and said, "Is there something nearby?" ”
When a few people heard this, they turned around and looked at the two of them, "Shhhhhh
Yun Xian made a shushing gesture, and then whispered: "I think this island is too weird, obviously it is a desert island that no one has set foot in, and now there are so many dead people, there must be something wrong with this." Before we came, Haiyou said it was a trap and told us not to go, but now I believe it. ”
"But how would Haiyu know?"
Lan Yan said in confusion, Yun Xian shook his head and continued to keep up with the large army.
Because of the corpse pit in the morning, everyone's morale was very low, and now they just want to go back quickly.
But when they came to the sea, they were dumbfounded, what about the boat?
Such a big ship, not yet one, why is it missing. The sudden disappearance of the ship made everyone panic.
"What's going on? How could the ship be gone? ”
Looking at the empty seaside, Lan Yanxi also became anxious.
"Did you notice, the plants on this island are noticeably much larger than what we normally see, and we haven't found anything alive along the way. Yun Xian thought calmly.
As a scholar, he must always keep thinking, and by the way, he can pretend to be ......
"Could it be eaten?" As soon as Zhao Qing finished speaking, he found that his voice was a little loud, and he immediately covered his mouth.
"But what do you say about the corpses?"
"Yunxian, the most important thing now is how to go back. Lan Yanxi hurriedly interrupted Yun Xian's analysis.
"We won't be able to get out for a while, so we can only take one step at a time. ”
Everyone looked around here, hoping to find a ship, or any clues, but there was nothing, which made everyone completely desperate.
Luckily they still had mercenaries, so when they decided to find a place to stay and wait for help, they found a natural cave that was just big enough to accommodate them all.
The fog became heavier and heavier, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the fire in the cave dispersed slightly outside the cave through the fog.
Everything outside of the fog began to blur, except for the occasional crackling of burning branches in the fire, and everything was replaced by silence, which seemed to be surrounded by a layer of danger.
Ahem......
A few coughs broke the dead silence, and after a while, more and more people began to cough and even have a fever, and Yun Xian realized that something was wrong.
The mercenaries, who had rich experience in field operations, hurriedly came over to check, but there seemed to be no other symptoms except cough and fever, but so many people were suddenly like this, and they had to worry, just in case, some of them were isolated. It is said to be isolation, but now there is no such condition, which can only keep those people away from the normal population.
The night was not destined to be peaceful, and as soon as the sky turned white, they found that the situation was more difficult than they had imagined. A few people who had a cough and fever last night now have red skin and make the others look numb in their scalps.
"What's going on? How did it suddenly become like this. ”
Professor Wang was also very anxious when he looked at the situation of the few people who had changed in vain.
"Boss, I suspect there's something wrong with this fog?"
"Huh?"
"Miasma...... It's a miasma......," Professor Wang said suddenly, "These fogs contain toxic gases and become miasma." ”
"But we've all walked through the fog, and we've definitely inhaled the miasma. The mercenary head said.
"That's right, but they may be weaker, so they are more likely to be poisoned than others, and if we don't hide in this cave, I'm afraid we'll all die. ”
Call......
After listening to Professor Wang's explanation, everyone gasped, if they were still wandering in the forest, I am afraid they would have to do the same.
"We don't have enough conditions now, so we can only isolate them first and tell everyone not to go into the fog. ”
Soon the crowd obediently stayed in the cave, and the people who had been clamoring to go out now shrank in one by one.
On the other side, Oni Shi has already reported the situation on the island to Haiyu.
"The corpse pit, according to your description, is like the place where the guy dumped the body, there is no one there at all, so the police can't find out how many people are missing. But why did you go there?"
"I don't know, but I found out that there is another group of people on the island besides them, and they should have taken the boat, and those people should have been stationed on this island to dispose of the corpses. ”
"Interesting, I guess he must have used some means to stay here for so long. ”
"Indeed, the corpses, their blood drained, their faces withered. ”
"Murderous dementors, hum, death does not change. Hai You said coldly, the killing intent in his eyes flashed, "By the way, those fogs are miasma, right?"
"Yes, I didn't feel anything at first, but slowly I would cough and fever, and after a while, my skin would start to fester. ”
Speaking of this, Hai You frowned, and suddenly remembered those people in his heart, and he didn't know if they would be fine.
"Young master, this method may not be suitable for him now, so he has done it frequently, and he can't wait to get rid of you now. ”
"In that case, then it's time for us to do it, you give the design drawings to Mu Xinlan and let her destroy the laboratory building for me. And send a few ships over. ”
"Understood. ”
Gu Feng, the show is about to begin, enjoy the last period of your life.
