Forget it, don't worry about these details with Li Ye. Lin Banxia put the last cookie in his mouth and took another sip of water, saying, "Where did you find this thing."
"There are many other scattered items on the edge of the swamp." Li Ye said, "They may have been hit by a beast and then fled to the swamp side."
"They have a total of eight people, right?" Alexei felt a little unreliable. "It should be well prepared. What kind of beasts can scare them like this?"
Li Ye said: "There is always something beyond common sense."
Speaking of which, Lin Banxia told everyone what he and Alexei found last night, Li Ye was again an interpreter, and Sergey and Jelena cast their eyes on Alexei while listening. , The eyes don't know whether it is fortunate or sympathetic, or both.
After eating breakfast with no appetite, everyone quickly decided the next trip-go to the swamp that suddenly appeared, it is best to find some clues to the previous team.
Today's weather is pretty good, clear skies, the cold air makes people feel shocked.
The village is still as quiet as yesterday, but there seems to be something unpleasant hidden in this silence.
They followed Li Ye to the southeast corner of the village. Sure enough, as Li Ye said, there was a reed-bundled water beach, and the water beach was covered with thick moss and green grass. The fluffy lawn seems to have a lovely taste.
Song Qingluo asked: "Where did you find the skull?"
Li Ye pointed, Lin Banxia looked in the direction he pointed, and only saw a piece of lush grass with colorful flowers on it. At first glance, it was very pleasing. No one would think that there was such a thing hidden in the lush grass.
"It's impossible for this swamp to pass." Alexei whispered next to him, "We don't know how big it is here, nor do they know where they are going, so rushed up ..."
Li Ye gave him a glance, and his green eyes showed a sense of coolness.
Alexhene shut up.
Song Qingluo did not speak. He observed the swamp in front of him for a moment, then picked up a stick from the roadside and went towards the swamp.
Seeing this, Lin Banxia was overwhelmed and quickly said: "Song Qingluo, are you going up like this? Very dangerous--"
Song Qingluo lightly said: "It's okay."
He said it was okay, but it seemed that there was really no danger. The horrible swamp was like a flat ground at his feet, but in a flash of time, he walked to the center of the swamp.
Although Lin Banxia saw this kind of landform for the first time, he also knew that the grass above the swamps could not be stepped on, because the following probability is blisters, but Song Qingluo did not avoid these places at all. Walked all the way flat.
The three recorders were very surprised. Lin Banxia looked at him, but suddenly remembered that Song Qingluo was pulled in the mountain village last time-Song Qingluo's weight seemed to be much lighter than ordinary people. Is this why he did not Reasons for fear that the body will fall into the swamp?
Song Qingluo walked about ten minutes before starting to look back. When he came back, he began to probe the mud under his feet with a wooden stick in his hand. It seemed that he wanted to find a way for people to pass. I went back and forth for half an hour, but everyone waited on the spot and did not dare to go around.
"This swamp is not too big." Song Qingluo returned and gave the message, "Walk a bit slower, and you can get to the end in twenty minutes."
"Did you find anything?" Li Ye asked.
Song Qingluo calmly said: "No."
Although he gave a negative answer, Lin Banxia strangely tasted something else from his tone. Li Ye really glanced at him, but in the end tacitly chose silence.
"I knew it in the past." Song Qingluo said, "Follow me."
"Is this really okay?" Alexei was still a little worried, but Li Ye was standing next to him, and he didn't dare to complain loudly, so he had to mumble with Lin Banxia, ​​"This kind of place If you go on, people will really be gone. "
"It's okay." Lin Banxia's heart is very big, "He will not let us deliberately die."
A group of people slowly walked through the swamp, and the village behind them was getting farther and farther from them. They stepped on the dark mud, and the mud exuded an unpleasant odor, not fishy, ​​but like something. It seems rotten. Lin Banxia didn't think much at first, but thought that his feet were ordinary mud, but after walking a distance, he suddenly realized what Song Qingluo's silence meant just now.
This black mud, like the strange liquid they saw on the TV last night, was dark, sticky, and as thick as asphalt. I wonder if it was Lin Banxia ’s illusion, he even felt vaguely These things are undulating slightly, as if they were alive.
Fortunately, it seemed that only he had discovered such a strange thing. Also seeing Alexey at night scene, he just walked forward and did not notice the unusual soil under his feet. This made Lin Banxia breathe a sigh of relief-if he let him find out, he didn't know if he would walk in fear.
Following Song Qingluo, a group of people passed this bizarre swamp in silence.
When stepping on the solid ground, Lin Banxia's heart lightly relieved.
It was just Alexei ’s face that did n’t look good. He whispered: "So come here, what to do when I want to go back, in case he is not ..."
Li Ye gave him an indifferent glance: "You said earlier, you don't have to come over, are you doing the task for the first time, so unprofessional?"
Alexei didn't dare to refute and shut up.
Lin Banxia finally looked back at the strange swamp and did not think about it. Why was it there, and what formed it.
On this side of the swamp, there were more trees, and the surrounding conifers were lush and a dense jungle. Wanting to find Li Su and their whereabouts in the woods is no different than finding a needle in a haystack, but even so, they have to move on. Several people walked into the woods and took out their daggers for the path. However, soon after entering the woods, Lin Banxia felt a strange sense of disobedience.
At this time, the sun was just right. Through the layers of treetops, it fell to the ground to form a dappled shadow. The grass was full of fine flowers. Lin Banxia even saw some dark red roses in it, which looked very romantic. It stands to reason that the scenery in front of you is as beautiful as the picture scroll, and the people you see should also have a good mood, but none of the six people in the group showed a relaxed expression.
"How do I feel that it's a little uncomfortable." Alexei was lively. At first glance, he was unstoppable. He began to whisper to Lin Banxia again.
Lin Banxia said: "It seems a bit."
"Where is that?" Alexei picked a wildflower by the road and sniffed it between his noses. "But I can't say it ..."
Lin Banxia watched his movements and turned his attention to the flowers and grass beside the road. The clusters of flowers were flamboyant, and each flower blossomed soft stamens, exposing the delicate flower heart, and the color on it. It looks like it has been washed in water, and it is tender like a treasure that is carefully cared for in the flower room. At this point, Lin Banxia finally realized the strangeness in this flower bush, and everything he looked at was perfect. Every flower and every leaf grew in the best posture, without defects or withering. , The green color looks like the spring. Where they stepped on their feet, they couldn't even see a fallen leaf. Lin Banxia tried to find a torn leaf from the nearby trees, but when he looked closely, he found that each leaf was almost the same length and length Consistent, the whole body is green, not like the product of nature, but like the uniform plastic products processed in the factory.
Every corner of this forest is perfect, and for this reason, it is full of false taste. It seems to be something deliberately created. All of a sudden, everything in front of it is lost, its original anger changes into It was so lifeless that it made people stand upside down.
Alexei saw the change in Lin Banxia's expression, and his reaction was slower, but he still found something strange, and said with a strong smile: "How can the flowers and grass here look similar."
Li Ye said: "It's all the same."
Alexei: "So, does this forest appear on the map?"
This question is a bit stupid. Everyone else laughed. Elena didn't know what she said to Alexei. Alexei showed an embarrassed expression and responded in Russian.
In nature, nothing is perfect. The perfect things are all created by humans. Lin Banxia is thinking, who in the end created this forest, caught a strange noise in his ear. It seems that there are giants moving deep in the forest, the sound is too obvious, and Lin Banxia can't do it if he wants to ignore it. Everyone's movements stopped, and Song Qingluo's face changed slightly, and he said, "Alert." At the next moment, everyone quickly took out the weapons they had prepared.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and even accompanied by the tremor of the earth, Lin Banxia was looking around with a dagger, and felt that the top of his head was black. It seemed that something covered the majority of the sun. A scene that I will never forget.
It was a creature he had never seen. He was two or three meters tall. At first glance it looked like a bear, but there was a large piece of black mucus attached to his head. At this time, the mucus was falling on the ground a little bit. At the place where the mucus is, a twisted face was formed. Some of these faces were howling and crying, and some were laughing, and they were suddenly creepy. The giant bear's head was mostly eroded by mucus. On one side, it looked like a bear, but on the other side, it was and fluffy, exposing the bones. It opened its mouth, revealing a scarlet tongue and sharp teeth. Above its teeth, there was some broken flesh-
"Bang!" A piercing gunshot sounded, but Sergey had already taken it out-and fought towards the terrible monster. It is reasonable to say that such a distance is powerful enough, but the bullet hit the monster's body like a rock sinking into the sea. The monster's fur offsets most of the attack, but only causes a small amount of scrape.
But his actions angered the terrible creature in front of him. It made a terrifying roar and ran towards several people!
"Run !!!" I was afraid that a few Russians would not understand, Li Ye shouted in English, and the people scattered and fled.
Lin Banxia turned around and ran daringly, he didn't even dare to go back. He felt a gust of wind blowing over his head, but Yu Guang saw the strange bear slap in the direction of him. Anyone who has hunted in the mountains knows what is a bear, two pigs and three tigers, which means that bears are the most threatening human beings among wild animals. Not only is the power huge, but they can also run on trees very quickly. Once they anger it, It ’s almost nine deaths, not to mention the monster in front of you who does n’t know what it is.
Running in the jungle was not easy at all. Lin Banxia didn't dare to turn back, but although he didn't look back, the overwhelming sound of trees behind him was getting closer and closer to him.
However, when that terrible shadow appeared on Lin Banxia's head, two harsh gunshots sounded behind him again-"Bang! Bang!" At the next moment, the shadow above Lin Banxia's head quickly faded away It was apparently attracted by the person who shot behind him. Lin Banxia staggered two steps, gave a heavy gasp, turned his head, but saw the monster bear heading in the opposite direction to him.
There is no doubt that someone fired, and pulled the bear's attention abruptly, saving Lin Banxia's life. Lin Banxia did not dare to stay, and continued to run forward, not knowing how long he ran, only to hear that horrible sound gradually went away, and the silence in the forest resumed again.
He stopped and staggered a few steps, sitting on the ground in embarrassment, there was no sound around him, there were no insects and birds, and it was uncomfortable.
After a few minutes of rest, Lin Banxia got up from the ground, took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Unsurprisingly, there was no signal on it. He took out the walkie-talkie equipped for them again, tuned to a specific channel and tried to get in touch with the lost person, but still found nothing.
Lin Banxia stood on the spot and thought for a while, originally wanted to return to the original place to see if he could merge with Song Qingluo, but he was afraid to run into the bear again. After thinking about it, he took it out of the bag Compass and map. Fortunately, the compass can still be used. He simply determined his position and started to head south. Judging from the map, there is a river in the south of the town. At least he can go to the river to get some supplies that can survive. If he can find other people on the way, it is naturally better.
What is the black slime on the strange bear?
Along the way, Lin Banxia was thinking about the scene he saw. Could it be that it would have a strange effect on the biological body? But it doesn't make sense. If so, how could the mucus appear on the TV? As he thought, he walked, and it was so dark.
It was obviously unwise to rush in the strange forest at night. After thinking about it, Lin Banxia decided to take a rest nearby. He used flintstone to start a bonfire, and simply ate some dry food to feed his hunger.
As night fell, the forest was silent, and Lin Banxia sat next to the fire and didn't dare to sleep. He is not only worried about his situation, he is still worried about Song Qingluo. The one who helped him to evacuate the strange bear must be Song Qingluo. I don't know how he is now, whether he will escape or not, and will be injured.
Lin Banxia was a little tired, but he still didn't want to close his eyes. He didn't know what would happen this night. He was afraid that he would never have the chance to open again after closing his eyes.
I do n’t know when a full moon hung on the sky, Lin Banxia looked up and saw the starry sky that appeared in Li Su ’s video.
The galaxy is deep, and in the dark night sky, a bright trace is thrown. The moonlight is like water, and the light light is slanting down, laying a soft layer of tulle for the world. In this layer of tulle, the grim forest also seemed to be much gentler, but in Lin Banxia's eyes, this layer of false tenderness concealed a terrible killing intention.
In the middle of the night, Lin Banxia became more and more sleepy, he yawned, reached out and slapped a few times on his face, trying to keep himself awake. The campfire in front of him crackled softly, and in the deep night, the sleepy Lin Banxia heard someone calling his name in a trance.
He thought he had heard it wrong at first, but soon discovered that there was indeed someone calling him in the depths of the forest— "Lin Pinxia, ​​Lin Pinxia, ​​Lin Pinxia ..." The voice was a little vague, but it sounded It seems familiar.
Lin Banxia stood up from the ground and moved closer to the location of the sound source. Finally, he saw a person walking slowly from the lush jungle. It was in the daytime because of the strange bear and the team Alexei of the fall.
"Lin Banxia, ​​is it really you ?!" Alexei appeared in front of Lin Banxia.
Through the campfire, Lin Banxia saw him in a state of embarrassment. He seemed to have been injured, limped under his feet, and his body was covered with dirt. His face was full of surprises. Obviously he was very happy to finally find a teammate.
"Are you injured?" Lin Banxia asked.
"Well," Alexei said, "sprained foot."
"Sit down, let me take a look at you." Lin Banxia said.
Alexei sat next to the campfire. Lin Banxia squatted down to help him check the wound on his foot. Using the remaining light, he carefully looked at this sudden teammate. The backpack on Alexei is gone, which is normal. After all, the probability of taking off the weight will escape. His jacket is cut a few times, but it is not serious. It is just a bruise, but an ankle injury More serious, swollen old and tall, and a piece of blue and purple, I do not know if it hurt the bone.
Lin Banxia checked him and took out the medicine from his backpack to make a simple bandage.
Alexey said: "Did you not see them? You alone?"
Lin Banxia glanced at him and said nothing.
"Why ignore me." Alexei muttered.
Lin Banxia spoke, and he said, "Yes, just me, where did you go before? Why did it suddenly appear."
Alexei said, "I was running in the same direction as you, and I was almost caught by that thing. Fortunately, someone shot it and led it in-but you run so fast. Can't catch up, watching you run away. "
Lin Banxia said helplessly: "Don't run fast at this time, don't you wait for death."
Alexei said with a smile.
"You rest for a while." Lin Banxia helped him deal with the wound and said, "I'm vigil."
Alexei: "Okay." Although he said okay, he had no sleepiness and couldn't help but said again, "What the is that? Is it a bear? And the mucus on him ..."
Lin Banxia shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
"Your relationship with Song Qingluo is good?" Alexei was envious. "I saw the gun he shot. After the shot, Xiong went to him."
Lin Banxia's heart was indeed like this, and his concern for Song Qingluo was a bit stronger.
Alexei said, "What are you doing this for?"
Lin Banxia honestly said: "Money."
Alexei said with a smile: "It turns out this way, then we are almost the same, and I also need a lot of money ..." When he talked about money, he immediately got up, and he said, "With money, I can marry I like the girl, and I have to buy one of the most expensive motorcycles and carry her around for a ride. "His young face shone with joy, but the light quickly dimmed and became A bit of bitterness, "If I could go back alive ..."
"It must be." Lin Banxia patted his shoulder.
Alexie smiled bitterly: "It's okay, even if it doesn't work, I still have a lot of insurance money if I die."
Lin Banxia didn't know how to comfort him. He always looked at things like life and death very lightly, otherwise he wouldn't do it.
The two chatted to the sky, and soon it was dawn. Fortunately, there were no other accidents this night.
After dawn, Lin Banxia went on the road again, and there was an Alexei who was not able to move around. Lin Banxia found him a trunk as a cane, and he limp and followed Lin Banxia.
I do n’t know if there are any other living things in the forest. Lin Pinxia did n’t dare to care about it. He was afraid of stepping on reptiles like snakes. I don't know how long I walked, but the surrounding scenery hasn't changed. It's still the woods or the grass. Alexei began to get anxious, saying that they would wander in place.
Lin Banxia thought for a while and thought what he said made sense, so he tore some bandages and tied the cloth to the tree trunk as a marker.
But it ’s okay if you do n’t mark it. If you mark it, you ca n’t deceive yourself. When you see those bandages again, Lin Banxia is sure that they are lost.
"What can we do about it." Alexei's anxiety began to escalate. "We are turning around in place."
Lin Banxia frowned: "Even in this way, you have to try to go forward, you can't wait to die in place."
Alexie said: "Otherwise I will lead the way?"
Lin Banxia glanced at him: "Are your feet all right?"
Alexie said: "It's okay, anyway, I grew up in the forest, certainly more experienced than you."
"Also." Lin Banxia thought for a while and thought what he said did make sense.
So Alexei walked ahead, wondering if he really had experience or good luck, but he really didn't turn around again-at least Lin Banxia didn't see the mark he made again,
However, because Alexei's foot was injured, their journey was forced to slow down a lot. He couldn't rest his mouth. He had been chatting with Lin Banxia for a long time, and all his words were cravings for money. Lin Banxia is okay. Although he likes money, he is not obsessed with Alexei and can earn as much as he can, but he will not be full of it.
So slowly walked for a day, when the night was coming, Lin Banxia found a dilapidated log cabin in the depths of the forest.
"There is a house there !!" Alexei was surprised, "Will anyone?"
Lin Banxia said: "... It doesn't look like someone."
Alexei said: "Whether there is anyone, let's take a look?"
Lin Banxia agreed.
The hut is located among the dense woods. At a glance, it can be seen that no one has been here for a long time. Both the corridors and the windows are covered with traces of dust. Lin Banxia was still watching through the window, but Alexei had broken the lock of the hut with a tool and opened the door of the hut.
Before Lin Banxia had time to stop it, he opened the door and entered the house. Fortunately, nothing happened, but he was choked by the dust inside.
"No one is inside," Alexey said broadly. "Let's stay here at night."
Lin Banxia did not answer, he followed Alexei into the house, and saw the furnishings in the house. It looks like a hunter's house. There are some old specimens hanging on the walls. At first glance, it's true that no one has been here for a long time. It was only after Lin Banxia entered the house that he felt something was amiss. He took a closer look and immediately pulled out his weapon. He warned: "Be careful, someone has been here."
"Ah? Has anyone been here?" Alexei froze.
"The fireplace has been used by people." Lin Banxia said, "the burnt wood inside is fresh."
"Will it be Li Ye them?" Alexei said, "How could anyone else come in this forest ..."
"This is not true." Lin Banxia said, "Be careful, it is better."
Alexey responded with a mouthful, but his expression was very careless. Lin Banxia glanced at him and said nothing more. He searched around the house and found no useful information. The only certainty is that someone did come here, because not only the fireplace has been used, but the contents of the house are still being moved. In situ, but the vandalized dust can be seen faintly.
It was too late at this time, after considering the pros and cons, Lin Banxia decided to camp here.
He went to find some wood outside the house, raised the fire in the fireplace, and inspected every corner of the house to make sure there were no other people in the house.
Alexei was very relaxed during the whole process, sitting in a chair and eating dry food happily.
Lin Banxia did all this well before he began to rest. He took out the food and simply nibbled twice, saying, "Are you afraid now?"
Alexey said: "What are you afraid of? Having a house is better than sleeping outside."
Lin Banxia said: "Also."
"You go to bed tonight." Alexei said with a smile, "I'm here to watch the night, and I'll call you anything."
Lin Banxia hadn't rested for almost two days, his body was already a little tired, and staying in it may affect the itinerary the next day, so he didn't refute, but silently agreed with Alexei's proposal.
As night fell, Lin Banxia lay on a bed with only one plank left, and soon fell into a sound sleep. In the haze, there were some slight noises in the room, as if Alexei was moving something.
Lin Banxia was awakened by this voice, and he opened his eyes confusedly, and saw Alexei sitting in the living room with an exaggerated smile on his face, staring at a wooden box in his hand.
Lin Banxia immediately woke up, he sat up, grabbed the dagger on his side, and said, "Aleksey, what is that?"
Alexey smiled slightly and looked up at Lin Banxia. His eyes seemed to be pondering something. After a while, he came to a thoughtful answer. He smiled and walked to Lin Banxia, ​​his voice trembling with excitement, He said, "Lin Banxia, ​​come take a look, what good thing did I find?"
Lin Banxia looked up and saw the contents of the box, which was a tantalizing and attractive yellow, and the boxes were neatly arranged in the box, just a glance, Lin Banxia knew their identity-gold .
Lin Banxia said: "Where did you get it from?"
"Just next to the fireplace!" Alexei said. "I saw the box through the bricks of the wall ..."
Lin Banxia hesitated and said: "Don't you think this thing appears here, is it strange?"
Alexei said: "Strange? What's strange, no, to be precise, what's not strange here, I tried it, it's solid gold." He took one and bit it with his teeth For a moment, there are obvious teeth marks on it, "You see it, this thing is not an illusion."
This is indeed not an illusion, no illusion will be so real.
The gold held by Alexei exudes an attractive light. Lin Banxia has never seen so much gold. There is no doubt that for him, it is indeed an irresistible temptation, so his face is involuntarily. Has a smile-
It was probably his smile that gave Alexei some kind of signal. Alexei looked at Lin Banxia excitedly and said, "Anyway, we all come for money, and so much money is enough for us to divide. , This thing is half for you and half for me, we split it and leave here ... "
Lin Banxia refused without thinking: "No."
"Why, do you still want to swallow alone?" Alexey looked at Lin Banxia vigilantly.
"No, you found this gold. You can handle it whatever you want. Even if you go back, I won't stop you, but I still have to move on. My friend is still inside. I can't leave him. Just go back like this. "Lin Banxia expressed his opinion very calmly-if his eyes were not fixed on the gold, it might be more convincing.
Sure enough, Alexeis didn't believe Lin Banxia's words, he said coldly: "You really don't want gold, just want to go in and find your friends?"
Lin Banxia: "Really."
Alexei: "So what do you stare at my gold for?"
Lin Banxia smiled, thinking how people are like this now, Liu Xi is like this, so is Alexei, who can not stare at so much gold in front of him, he has tried to restrain his smile, Did n’t even let him see more? !
"Because it looks good." Lin Banxia angrily answered this angry question.
