with not only that, behind them, the trees on the mountain also swayed, and several figures appeared behind the trees, some covered in blood, some dark, and some with scratches on their exposed skin.
Without exception, they all stared quietly at the dim lights in the camp, or in other words, at the people slowly walking out of the tents with solemn faces.
Unknowingly, the dead had surrounded their temporary camp.
Yu Xing stood up vigilantly and silently put his fingers on the lid of the painting tube.
There were too many dead people. If they all rushed towards him, the short weapon dagger in his hand was not suitable to fight against them. Only Tang Dao could break through.
Outside the tent on the side.
Brother Sun was shivering all over and did not dare to make any big moves. He lowered his voice and said, "We are in a dead man's nest... Don't move, don't make a sound, let's see if they are targeting us..."
"Is there a second possibility? We checked before setting up camp and there was no one else in the area for several miles." Cold sweat flowed from Finley's temples, and he clenched the weapon in his hand, "Also, are you sure these dead things are there?"
Is it to confirm the target through sight and hearing?”
Look at that bloody man, all his facial features are gone, does he look like he has senses?
Of course, Brother Sun was not sure, but this was the only thing he could do to comfort himself when he was extremely anxious.
"Stop talking, we can't be nice tonight, we can't stay in this place." Scar looked at the dead people who were getting closer and closer, and said in a deep voice, "Let's run, let's put the camp here first, and then we can come back and clean it up at dawn tomorrow.
."
“Run to where?” Ellie asked.
Everyone is in very bad condition now, and some of their injuries have not even been disinfected. After running, the wounds may become inflamed, and if they have a fever, they will basically be doomed.
Scar said: "Run back. Although there are bugs and vines on the mountain, at least we have walked the route, and there are marks I made along the way. We won't get lost, and we don't have to run too far. We just need to get rid of these ghosts."
"
Aaron dragged his injured arm and listened silently.
Finley looked at everyone's expressions of embarrassment and spat fiercely: "I agree with what Scar said, leave quickly. If you don't leave, you'll be surrounded and you won't be able to leave! Why do I just follow you guys?
Team up and go to the grave, damn it.”
It is true that if the dead people get closer, their speed will not be enough to break through.
Yu Xing frowned as he listened to their discussion.
These people are so tired that they cannot see the dead people in the direction of the deep valley. Is the nearest one almost at the distance where "Ade" pounces?
Sure enough, as soon as he had this idea, the bloody dead man pounced on everyone in the silence like a cat pounces on a mouse. Everyone had already noticed it and got out of the way. Brother Sun said: "Run!"
The first bloody man seemed to be a signal to attack. After it, the dead people suddenly accelerated their speed, approaching the team one after another, and pounced upon them when they reached a certain distance.
The people in the team chose the direction to rush into the mountain the moment Brother Sun said to run. Most of them only brought weapons. Aili had some medicine in her pocket. Scar didn't know when he took out the flame gun and held it in his arm.
, running behind Brother Sun and Yu Xing.
He naturally saw all of Yu Xing's equipment, and while feeling nervous, he felt that it was hard to explain.
When did this guy bring all the supplies? He even has the painting tube!
Yu Xing ran wildly with a clear conscience. There were five or six dead people in front of them, standing relatively scattered. Finley pointed to the right, where there was a straggler bloody man: "Get away from this one!"
Scar immediately overtook Yu Xing and Brother Sun and took the lead. In a hurry, he pointed the flame gun directly at the bloody man and opened fire!
The flames sprayed towards the bloody man. Although the bloody man could not feel the pain, his body was inevitably scorched and his joints lost the ability to bend. It opened its mouth wide and tried to bite, but it could not close its mouth in the flames.
There was a smell of barbecue.
Ellie retched in disgust.
They passed over the bloody man and reached the edge of the mountain, but the dead man behind them had also caught up.
Even though the movement of one dead person was silent, the rushing of a group of dead people brought out a gust of wind, and the sound of fallen leaves being trampled to pieces on the ground, both of which made the team members tremble like drums in their hearts.
“This way, this way!” Brother Sun kept shouting to guide everyone. Unfortunately, the lights were dark, the moonlight was obscured by the branches and leaves of the trees, and there were so many roots and rocks on the ground that Luke tripped and fell to the ground before he could run very far.
“Help me!” Luke felt the dead man approaching behind him and called for help in horror.
Brother Sun gritted his teeth and stopped to go back to pull him. Luke's foot seemed to be sprained, and his face turned pale in pain when he moved.
“Scar, block it!” Brother Sun shouted to Scar. Scar didn’t seem to agree, but he still used a dagger to cut off the claws of the nearest dead man.
“Hurry up!” Scar frowned, “If you delay any longer, we’ll catch up with you all.”
Brother Sun supported Luke, and Luke gritted his teeth and jumped forward on one leg, but it was too slow.
Seeing more and more dead people, Brother Sun asked with difficulty: "You have a sprained foot? Can you run?"
Luke's eyes were red: "Run, I can't run..."
Brother Sun’s eyes flashed with fierceness.
"Since you can't run away, I can't let you drag down the whole team." Scar couldn't resist for long. Brother Sun knew it. He shook his head regretfully and let go under Luke's shocked eyes. "I'm sorry Luke."
, you are out of luck!”
Scar understood and retreated back. Luke immediately lost his cover and was exposed to the dead man's attack.
“Brother Sun,” Luke yelled sadly, barely raised his dagger to block it twice, and then was torn apart by the dead man, and the screams reached everyone’s ears.
They didn't have time to mourn for Luke, and their minds were filled with the thought of not being caught by the dead. However, they wasted some time just now in order to help Luke up, and the distance between them and the dead was shortened.
Yu Xing opened the lock of the painting tube and realized that the level of this team was really not good, especially the decision-making was very messy. The leader, Brother Sun, wanted to find a balance between interests and loyalty, but failed to do both.
If he had been following this group of people, I am afraid that similar dangers would happen countless times. He might as well break away from the group and then hang quietly behind the group, knowing the route and not being restricted.
Now there is only one chance to leave the team.
He silently ran a little to the left, predicting in his mind when the team would be overtaken by the dead and forced to disperse. He had already hooked the Tang Dao hidden in the painting tube in his hand, and the moment he held the handle of the Tang Dao,
He felt an urge to kill.
It is indeed a blood-stained Tang sword. In such a crisis, it is particularly easy to evoke violent emotions in people's hearts. Fortunately, the emotions it triggers are not obvious. Even if it is not Yu Xing but someone else holding it, it can still
Restrain it.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, and after a while, the gap between the teams widened.
Finley ran at the front, followed by Yu Xing, then the companion whose name was unknown, and finally Ally, Aaron, Brother Sun and Scar. The last two saved half of Luke, so
Although he was slightly behind, he was able to catch up quickly, while Aaron was covering his arms, feeling almost exhausted.
He lost too much blood just now and he couldn't hold on anymore.
But he didn't want to be left behind like Luke.
Aaron exerted the greatest willpower in his life and kept up with everyone, but even if he could survive tonight, he would not choose to stay in this team anymore. Brother Sun is cruel to others and also cruel to himself.
He is amiable but full of evil inside, and he doesn't want to be used as cannon fodder.
The dead person closest to the team's object was only one meter away. Scar had to fight back continuously to barely prevent the team from being overtaken. Finally, a broken wall appeared in front of them. Under the broken wall was another layer of mountain, with a height difference of about three meters.
They didn't take this road when they came. When they returned, they didn't know where they were running. They could only understand the general direction. Yu Xing curled his lips. Following this road, the team would use the rocks in the middle.
Jump off the broken wall and he can take the opportunity to disappear!
"Jump!" Finley at the front warned. Yu Xing jumped, but he didn't jump at all. Instead, he rolled and hid behind the bushes after landing, and then kept moving away from this straight path.
Several dead men discovered him and followed him relentlessly, but the people in the team did not notice anything unusual and ran away, leaving Yu Xing alone and lurking in a low-key manner.
When the voices of everyone in the team faded away, Yu Xing plucked at the leaves and dead branches, and finally pulled out the blood-stained Tang Sword.
The longer cold weapon was very heavy and cold and solid in the hand. The straight blade reflected the light of the moon. Several dead people attracted by him found him stopped in place and stood still, seeming to be preparing to attack again.
"Finally, I can cut open you bunch of ghosts and study them." Yu Xing held the knife in front of him, turned his back on the guest, and slashed diagonally at the dark poisonous man on the right. With a flash of cold light, the knife cut off half of the poisonous man's chest.
, the dead man was split into two parts from his chest, but a horrific scene appeared.
The dead man fell to the ground from his chest up and rolled several times in the dirt. He slowly raised his arms and crawled towards Yu Xing.
Every few steps he climbed, one of his hands waved upward, fiercely and oppressively.
The same goes for its legs. Although the upper body is missing, the legs bend up as if with autonomous consciousness and begin to perform the power-accumulating action before taking off.
The next moment, half of its body rushed towards Yu Xing, but unfortunately it had no means of attack.
Yu Xing used his knife to block the half-dead man's attack in disgust, then lowered his head to avoid the claws of a bloody man, and leaned forward to dodge the attack of a poisonous man on his waist and abdomen. The knife was fast and hard.
He stabbed the dead man's knee that was separated from his chest. As soon as the handle of the knife was turned, the knee was crushed by him.
Then, he decisively cut off the upper half of the body's arm.
The body of the poisonous man covered in pitch black remained motionless, behind it. The other dead men were not afraid of Yu Xing's knife at all, and rushed towards the blade.
He followed the same method, using his flexible skills to dodge the attacks of the dead people one after another, while finding one of them and destroying its joints. In just two minutes, he completely smashed the mobility of several dead people.
Yu Xing lowered his head and looked at Tang Dao... Since the blood in the dead people's bodies had long dried up and there would be no bleeding at all, Tang Dao's blood-drinking tank had not changed.
This is good news, it proves that his Tang Dao can be used many more times.
From Yu Xing's point of view, the horror of these dead people is no different from that of poisonous insects and vines. They are just more numerous, quieter, and unexpected.
Anyway, those people have to run when they encounter a swarm of insects, they still have to run when they encounter a swarm of vines, they still have to run when they encounter a crowd of dead people... they still have to run.
He knelt down and looked at the clothes of these dead people. The dead person who was better preserved was wearing dark blue work clothes, with disheveled hair, and turned out to be a female corpse.
But the female corpse had nail marks all over its body. It seemed that it lost its mind in extreme pain and finally killed itself.
One more thing, that is, the bloody man corresponds to the vines, the black poisonous man corresponds to the poisonous man, and the corpse is the corpse. Which one corresponds to the female corpse's way of death?
“Flower”?
Yu Xing kept an eye on it and guessed that the flower's attack method had a lot to do with hallucinations... Only hallucinations can easily make people go crazy and kill themselves alive.
There was nothing on the female corpse that could prove her identity. Yu Xing planned to guess her origin after seeing this kind of work clothes in the future. The top priority was to climb Chongyin Mountain quickly and find the entrance to the tomb, or meet Carlos as soon as possible.
Team, get a better ride.
He estimated that Carlos's team should have found the precise area of the tomb that was not written on the map by now. Maybe they were making preparations to go down to the tomb. If he moved faster, he could still catch up.
Standing there and thinking for a while, Yu Xing made a bold decision and returned to the Valley of the Dead.
Now that Brother Sun's team has entered the mountain, he can only ensure that he can find this team after dawn tomorrow if he first goes to the Valley of the Dead, which is the only way to climb over the mountain. He needs these people to make a living map, otherwise it will take a long time for him to find the location of the tomb.
long time.
He didn't know if there were any dead people in the Valley of the Dead. Anyway, he could handle it, and it wasn't something he needed to worry about.
Just do it. While he was still not sleepy, Yu Xing walked for about ten minutes and returned to the camp in the valley. He found a nearby tree that could shield him and climbed up.
This is a leafy tree, and the green leaves can hide him well. He is lying astride among the high branches, looking at the depths of the valley with some interest, while paying attention to Sun.
Did your team send anyone back to get supplies?
After a while, no one came, but a signal flare was fired into the night sky.
Thirty seconds later, at a different location, another red signal also rose into the sky, as if in response to the first signal.
"Two?" Yu Xing looked at the conspicuous red signals facing each other in the dark night, and realized that the people in their team might have become separated themselves, so they needed to send off flares to confirm their respective positions.
There was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Has he gotten separated...Then there are more things he can do~
Also, other teams nearby must also be able to see these two signals. If Carlos is smart enough, they might find someone to pick him up.
