Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and a full moon hangs high in the sky.
After leaving the town, the car drove more and more sideways.
The rice in the fields on both sides is drooping and heavy. It is almost the harvest season. The mountains not far in front of it are undulating, and the clouds are shrouded above, with a hazy meaning.
There are many mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and hills and peaks can be seen everywhere. Many villages and towns are built along the mountains.
Chen Shouyi looked at the time. It was only eight o'clock in the evening.
"When did you arrive?" Chen Shouyi suddenly asked.
"Five o'clock in the afternoon!" Jin Feiyan said.
Then only three hours have passed, and it should be in time.
The car went all the way along the path at the foot of the mountain, bypassed a big circle, and drove towards a mountain depression. The light mist gradually filled the road.
He noticed that a village along the road had been moved away, and it was dark.
"Is there fog during the day?" Chen Shouyi asked.
"Yes, Meijia village is located in the front of the mountain depression. Originally, the fog was large, but it used to be only in the morning and evening, and now it even has fog at noon." A local mayor said with an uneasy face.
Chen Shouyi was surprised when he heard the speech. It's summer now. The weather is hot, and the temperature can reach 40 degrees during the day. No matter how thick the fog will dissipate when the sun shines. In this environment, the whole village can be covered with fog, which is obviously not an ordinary alien creature.
This mission is a little tricky! Chen Shouyi frowned slightly.
It didn't take long for the truck to reach its destination.
This place has been sealed off. About a battalion of soldiers and a helicopter are stationed around, circling in the sky constantly.
Chen Shouyi and other people jumped out of the car and looked ahead.
A foggy village loomed in the distance.
Chen Shouyi keenly noticed that the soldiers stationed here did not do special protection. Obviously, the fog itself was not a problem, but a normal fog.
The instructors here rushed to hear the news.
Chen Shouyi chatted with the other party, trying to obtain more detailed first-hand information.
The other party must answer all questions, no matter how big or small.
But not much was gained.
In fact, the army arrived here at noon today to carry out its mission. A company of soldiers were sent into the village one after another, but none of them has returned so far.
I only know that there are many people alive inside, and I can often hear the cry for help.
Moreover, the magnetic field is abnormal. As soon as it enters the dense fog, the compass immediately rotates disorderly.
Seeing this, Chen Shouyi no longer asked. He opened the bow bag, assembled a belligerent bow, and put the arrows into the quiver. He put three bags of 60 arrows on his back.
Then he was ready to enter. Seeing that Jin Feiyan meant to follow, he turned his head and said, "you don't have to go, and you can't help."
For him, it doesn't make any difference whether he is a warrior or a big warrior.
Jin Feiyan didn't want to go to this strange and dangerous mountain village, but she came to perform the task after all, and it was too obvious that it was not easy to paddle. At this time, hearing Chen Shouyi's so explicit, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed the good example: "be careful!"
Chen Shouyi nodded slightly, crossed the warning strip and walked forward.
The thick fog rolling in the distance, like countless fierce ghosts with teeth and claws, is faintly cold.
He pressed his sword and felt the rapid spread.
As soon as he frowned, he keenly found his perception. As soon as he touched the fog, he was greatly disturbed, and the picture kept shaking and jumping, becoming blurred. It seems to be in a fierce struggle with some force.
Fortunately, the intensity is not big enough to completely interfere with his perception.
He took a deep breath, and after a few steps, his whole body was deep in the fog.
The fog is as thick as milk, which is abnormal at first sight.
Even with his eyesight, ten meters away, it becomes hazy.
He walked slowly along the village path, paying careful attention to the surroundings.
Several plastic bags rolled on the road. I don't know if it was an illusion. It seemed that countless whispers sounded in my ears, as if they were the whispers of the devil.
bravado!
Chen Shouyi sneered.
At the same time, we should also raise our vigilance to the extreme.
After walking for a while, buildings appeared on both sides.
"Have you entered the village?"
There was no light around. It was dark, as if it were a ghost village without people.
Chen Shouyi was surprised.
How come I haven't met anyone yet!
Where are the villagers here?
In addition, there are soldiers, fighters coming here!
But Chen Shouyi didn't meet anyone at all along the way, not even the body.
The air was filled with a thick smell of blood and corpses.
Chen Shouyi walked to a three story building next to him. The iron gate on the wall was open, and the gate inside seemed to be open. It was dark.
He stepped in, the smell of the corpse getting stronger and stronger: "is anyone there?"
In the living room sat a dark figure, slightly moving, as if doing something?
In the thick fog filled darkness, it looked extremely strange.
The artist was brave, and Chen Shouyi calmed down, pressed the handle of the sword and stepped forward.
It was found that this was an old woman, with wrinkles all over her face and a completely bent body. She was sitting at the table, holding something in her hands and constantly chewing.
When he came closer, even if he was used to seeing death and corpses, his heart couldn't help beating violently.
Shit, it's an arm.
The arm was highly rotten, dripping with pus and blood, and even covered with maggots, and the thick stench came from here.
The old woman has no teeth. She just chews hard on her gums, and her mouth is full of blood.
Chen Shouyi slowly pulled out his sword, hesitated, and then inserted it into the scabbard.
He could feel that the old woman was still alive.
The heart is still beating and the chest is still undulating.
This is a living person, although his performance is somewhat abnormal.
"Grandma!"
"Grandma!" Chen Shouyi tried and shouted a few times.
It seemed that when she heard the call, she turned her head and looked at Chen Shouyi. Her expression was blank, her muddy eyes were full of holes, and she looked as if she had lost her soul. Before long, she lowered her head and chewed her arm again.
Chen Shouyi looked for a while, then withdrew here and walked out of the iron gate outside. He glanced back. In a thick fog, he vaguely saw that the old woman had stood up and seemed to be looking at him.
"Shit, what the hell?"
He cursed in his heart, turned away from here, and continued to search.
The road was quiet, and occasionally I could see a pool of black and smelly blood.
"Song Yingjie!"
"Song Yingjie!"
"Who else is alive?"
He shouted as he walked.
But he didn't get the slightest response at all. He could only hear countless whispers in his mind. Occasionally, there was a noisy and sharp abnormal noise, which made Chen Shouyi's heart slightly agitated when everything went wrong. At this time, a person's shadow was in front of him in the thick fog.
Chen Shouyi was delighted and immediately caught up.
Ps: there will be another chapter later, which is being revised
