Chapter 5: Departure for Exploration
"Don't worry, someone will come to our rescue. Xu Zheng saw that everyone had lost the courage to survive, and he was not in a hurry to explain to Guo Jing, so he stepped forward and encouraged loudly, "Many people are trying to find us, we must not give up, as long as we live, there is hope." ”
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him, and some people even choked angrily, "It's easy to say, you can take us back." Aren't you a cop?"
"Yes, didn't you say that you came to save us? you've been here for a day, and I haven't seen you take us back!"
"That is, as much as you can talk big, you have the ability to be practical. ”
"You've only been here for a day, and of course you've been stuck here for over a month. ”
"yes, if we don't go out, we're all going to starve here!"
"I don't want to die! I've just graduated, I don't want to die in a place like this!"
"What are you, my son is only six months old, I don't go out, what will they do?"
"And me, my family is the only one of my sons, I die, what will happen to my parents?"
"Me ...... too"
The more everyone talked, the more desperate they became, and the cry of only one person instantly turned into a collective cry. Xu Zheng wanted to say a few more words of encouragement, but Guo Jing noticed the angry eyes of everyone looking at him, and hurriedly grabbed the person.
"Forget it, let them vent and vent!" continue to persuade them not to be beaten, and see that they still have the strength to cry, proving that there is nothing wrong with their bodies, "You tell me about the situation here first." ”
Xu Zheng also knew that the excited crowd couldn't listen to him at all now, so he sighed and pointed around before explaining to her.
It was still a forest, but it was clearly not the maple forest it had just been, and it was surrounded by towering trees that had never been seen before, so tall that you couldn't see the top. Moreover, the forest was full of fog, and the visibility was only two or three meters.
Xu Zheng said that the situation was similar to what she guessed, they suddenly appeared in this forest, all around was foggy, communication was interrupted, and they couldn't see the daylight, couldn't tell the direction, and couldn't get out. Someone once went into the fog to explore, but either they turned back to this place, or they disappeared directly in the fog, except for Xu Zheng, who only came in yesterday. The rest of us have been stuck here for at least a little more than a week.
Liu Xian, who they talked about before, was the first person to be trapped here. He didn't want to sit still, so the day before Xu Zheng was trapped, he took a few people out to find the way, and now he hasn't come back, and everyone guesses that the other party is more than lucky.
Guo Jing asked some other questions, and he already had a guess about this formation in his heart. Judging from the number of missing people, as I guessed before, this should not be a complicated formation, let alone a killing formation, just an upgraded version of the isolation formation. In the previous immortal cultivation world, this kind of formation was generally made by people in retreat, in order to prevent outsiders from suddenly entering and interrupting the practice.
This formation should have been here a long time ago, thinking that there are newly developed real estate near Minghu, it should be this reason that the formation is defective, so many people will be trapped in.
In this situation, if you are lucky, you can find the person who arranged the formation inside to unlock the formation, or you can only break the formation. Judging from the movements in this, it is obvious that the former point can be ruled out, and the formation can only be broken.
Although she doesn't know anything about formation, she usually breaks inside the formation, which is much more convenient than breaking outside. At least there are no surveillance cameras here.
Guo Jing had an idea in his heart, and turned his head to look at Xu Zheng, who was anxious, in case he was dragged to another two-hour ideological education class, but he still didn't tell him the truth.
"Brother Xu, it's not a way to stay here, or I'll go around to see the situation, maybe I can get out of this formation...... Where's this place?" she had to find the base.
"No!" Xu Zheng hurriedly shook his head, "It's too dangerous, in the current situation, waiting for rescue is the best way." ”
"Brother Xu, we don't even know how we got here, do you think people outside can find us for a while?" Guo Jing continued to persuade.
Xu Zheng was a little hesitant, taking the initiative to go out was indeed a way to save himself, but they didn't know what was out there at all, plus those who were missing, which proved that this place was not completely safe, and although they were passive in staying in place, their lives would not be in danger. But just like Guo Jing said, if the people outside can't find them, then they are just waiting for death here.
"If Brother Xu is worried, why don't you go with me!" Anyway, there is no monitoring here, just pay attention when she breaks the formation.
Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, but agreed to her suggestion. Maybe because he was the first person to bring Guo Jing back to the house, and then helped her find a house, find a place to live, and pay living expenses, etc., after a few months, he gave birth to a little bit of an old father's sense of responsibility, of course he would not agree to her walking alone.
He turned to look at the dozen or so other people and asked if they wanted to go along.
I don't know if it's an illusion, as soon as his voice fell, the faces of more than a dozen people present turned pale for a moment. Then they shook their heads and refused, and no one was willing. Xu Zheng didn't want to force them, so he turned his head to look at Guo Jing and said, "Then let's go, let's take a look around." With that, he turned around and walked towards the opposite side.
"Wait!" Guo Jing pulled him, pointed to the right, and said, "Let's go this way!"
"Why?" asked Xu Zheng.
"Uh...... That's where I'm lucky!" she casually made a point.
The right side is exactly the front square, and the base of the isolation array will generally be in that direction.
Xu Zheng didn't think much about it, turned around, and explained while walking, "Then you go behind me, it's foggy here, don't lose it." ”
"Okay!"
"Wait...... Wait a minute. Just as he was about to leave, a man in a suit hurriedly walked over, his eyes glanced at Guo Jing intentionally or unintentionally, gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, "Otherwise, I'll go with you too! ”
"Okay, let's go!" Xu Zheng didn't think much about it, he still walked in the front, leading the two forward.
Guo Jing glanced at him strangely, this person looked like he was in his forties, wearing a black suit, although there was a lot of mud, but it was not difficult to see the breath of a large pile of RMB on it, he was not tall, and he was a little fat, although his hairline was obviously receding, but it was not to the extent of retreating into a desert, and there was a kind smile on his slightly swollen face, with a bit of inexplicable familiarity.
"You look like...... Sound familiar?" she blurted out.
"I'm Jin Zhenge. He replied with a smile, "The Minghu Development Zone is built by our Shengzhen Group, you may have heard of it." ”
"Shengzhen Group ......" Guo Jing remembered where he had seen it, in the silent TV of the café, most of the real estate near Minghu Lake was built by Shengzhen Group, and the houses were built high and expensive. Xiao An, a colleague who is in a hurry to buy a house and get married, is forced to be helpless by the soaring housing prices, and scolds the developer every day when he has nothing to do, and Jin Zhenge's name appears most frequently.
Every time I see an interview with the other party on TV, I have to say, "All evil capitalists, what kind of house they build, obviously the blood and sweat of our house slaves!"
Guo Jing was a little surprised, "You are the president of Shengzhen Group!" Why is this kind of rich person here?
"Yes. He nodded good-naturedly, as if to see his doubt, and explained, "I came here suddenly two months ago when I was inspecting the construction site. "They have a real estate near Maple Grove.
"Oh......" Guo Jing felt a little strange and glanced him up and down, "So, you're the first person trapped here." "The disappearance started two months ago.
"It's not just me. Jin Zhenge added, "There are a few workers with us, there are six or seven in total, and Li Xian, who went out to investigate yesterday, is the foreman of the nearby construction site, but he is just ...... Now I'm the only one left here. ”
His eyes darkened, and when he was first trapped here, several of them were still huddled. In addition, he is the boss of several people, and everyone took some care of him at first, but after a long time, some things slowly turned sour. Human nature is like this, and he actually doesn't blame those people, after all, he is the worst physical strength among the several, so he can only drag his feet, until yesterday they decided to leave, taking everything that could be used, and did not ask his opinion.
Jin Zhenge is naturally reluctant to leave the safe zone, but as the president of a multinational company, Jin Zhenge can see the long term better than anyone else. Humanity cannot stand the test, and if these people continue to be trapped, they don't know what will happen. He will definitely be the first person to be sacrificed if he has poor physical strength.
If there are so many people, if you want to choose a reliable one, there is only Xu Zheng, who is a policeman. So although he gritted his teeth and followed. It may be dangerous, but it's better than sitting back!
