The twelve people had various expressions after reading the task.
The hot wind mixed with green grass blew by, but some people were shivering from the cold.
"Why don't you come inside and sit for a while?" Ding Zhen was very tired carrying his bag. No matter how many people were willing to enter the room, he was the first one to walk in anyway.
"Brother, there are people outside who are yawning and talking happily. Is it that you still haven't figured out the situation?"
Mo Mo followed closely and sat on the old floor next to Ding Zhen and complained a few words.
"Don't worry about it!" Ding Zhen reminded Momo because she was an acquaintance, "Go and call Yu Niao in."
Yu Niao and Gao Yuan walked into the wooden house one after another. The three of them sat on the floor. You looked at me and I looked at you. At the same time, they revealed their respective tasks——
When it gets dark, draw lots or nominate yourself as the "ghost" to climb halfway up the mountain and start catching the "ghost". If you fail within one hour, you will be killed by the ghost.
You are not allowed to leave the mountain, the absolute safe zone disappears, there is a hiding place on the mountain, and you are the winner if you survive.
In other words, catching ghosts has a limited time, but being killed by ghosts has an unlimited time. The game ends by itself at the end, and you can only leave if you are alive.
Ding Zhen and Yu Niao stared at their respective backpacks, and they actually carried the relevant equipment by mistake. But, is it useful in this abnormal world?
"Big guy, what are you thinking about? Why are you still laughing?"
Momo stared at Gao Yuan with frightened eyes and said without any modification that he was nervous.
Gao Yuan was born with smiling lips and an optimistic face, but he still has no time to explain.
Ding Zhen blamed Mo Mo for being rude.
Gao Yuan looked at his friends and Yu Niao both speaking for him. The corners of his mouth froze and he thought: It would be great if my mission was the same as theirs.
When he was talking about the mission before, his voice was drowned out by Momo's loud music, and his body nodded out of habit, causing them to misunderstand.
He wanted to start again, but the small group of four people dispersed because the tallest man suddenly kicked the door open.
"Who is it? It's so noisy, please turn off the sound!"
Liu Chuanfeng is at least 1.9 meters tall, with a narrow face, slender facial features, and two fleshless arms with green dragon and white tiger tattoos.
In Yu Niao's eyes, this man was like an explosive bamboo pole, so thin that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Mo Mo instinctively leaned towards Ding Zhen and turned off her phone in panic.
"You'd better be quiet!"
Liu Chuanfeng turned around and pointed at the pudgy girl kicking stones, "And you, please stay calm! Don't mess with me!"
In front of everyone, he easily picked up a huge stone and smashed the door of the wooden house.
Chen Jiu, who had been dozing against the wooden house, stood up with sleepy eyes and wrinkled nose, and soon fell asleep again.
Zhang Tiantian, who was equally tall but had eight-pack abs, was startled and quickly found a safe place to stand and watch.
Li Ye and Wang Sisi knew each other, so they shut up when they saw this. They were the ones who had been talking and laughing before.
"If you are sick, go get treatment. Don't go crazy here. You, and you, you, you should be very familiar with this place. Aren't you going to reveal it to me?"
Du Li is a standard beautiful beauty with an unexpectedly cold and arrogant temperament, and her words are direct and vicious.
Among the newcomers, in addition to her constant observation, there is also the fat girl who was accused of kicking rocks, Mei Sheng.
Everyone looked at Du Li, then glanced at Niao, Mo Mo, Ding Zhen and Shang Yu.
"Well, you misunderstood. We are here for the first time, and we are as unfamiliar with this place as you are."
As expected, more people means more things to do. Yu Niao was about to find an opportunity to give them some kind reminders, but was preempted.
Past experiences may be blurred, but what is danger seems to be imprinted on Yu Niao and their hearts.
She was very specific, but there was no sign of acceptance on their faces. The explosive bamboo pole was placed directly in front of her, accusing her of deliberately intimidating her.
"Friend, if you hit a woman, I won't stand it. You need to be an honest person."
Ding Zhen pushed Liu Chuanfeng away. Although his words were polite, he was not afraid of him at all.
With that strength, and the abdominal muscles that showed through his sweatshirt, Liu Chuanfeng raised his eyebrows, nodded, smiled evilly, and walked away knowingly.
The wind is getting stronger, and the previously clear sky has been covered by thick dark clouds, and the sky is getting darker.
The wooden house is surrounded by empty flat land, and ethereal and resentful echoes break the silence.
The sound that everyone hears is different, like a wolf howling, an oriole crying, or a baby crying...
The new people began to believe that Yu Niao's words were not fabricated to scare people.
A chill came over me.
Even if everyone gathered around the bonfire to keep warm, they could not drive away the chill that penetrated the bones like dodder.
"The mission should start soon. Let's eat something to fill our stomachs first."
Yu Niao took out all the food he had brought, and no one touched anything except water.
Time is up.
Twelve people were divided into two waves and went directly up the mountain: Shang Yu, Gao Yuan, Liu Chuanfeng and Li Ye.
Those who stayed: Yu Niao, Mo Mo, Ding Zhen, Zhang Yitian and Du Li, Mei Sheng, Wang Sisi and Chen Jiu.
Draw lots or nominate three ghosts.
Yu Niao thought for a long time. If he failed, he would be killed by the ghost. On the other hand, if he could catch the ghost more easily, the game could end early.
The logic is simple and everyone else can figure it out.
In this way, just pick three that are easy to catch.
Several people unanimously chose: Mei Sheng, Chen Jiu and Wang Si.
The names of ghosts appeared on the red book of the other four people, and on another line, the name of another person also appeared.
Everyone knew that as soon as they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the chasing and killing of humans and ghosts would officially begin, and they all slowed down in unison.
The mountain is nearly 1,000-1,500 meters above sea level and is overgrown with weeds.
The self-growing cypress branches are lush and leafy, occupying a large area. The other trees, tall or thick, are all nameless.
There was no road on the mountain, so the group could only explore the path with their feet and walk out of the way.
"We should go separate ways."
Du Li stopped and grabbed Yu Niao who was walking in front of him, "Divide into three pairs, and each team will lead a ghost. You must know that the tasks of the other four people must be different from ours. The goal for us all together is too big, we have to avoid them
, to minimize the risk.”
Yu Niao was the first to object.
"That's why we should go together. There's really something going on. There are so many of us."
Ding Zhen and Mo Mo stood there.
Chen Jiu hadn't woken up yet and looked confused.
"What do you two think? Should you follow me another way or continue to follow them?"
Du Li insisted on her opinion and looked at Mei Sheng and Wang Si's hesitation. She spread her hands and sneered, "You and I, follow me. Let's go this way."
She wanted to take away Wang Sisi and Zhang Yitian.
"Please don't be so willful. We have to separate halfway up the mountain. There are many people and there will be someone to take care of you. What should you do if you are in danger while walking alone?"
Du Li didn't hear how worried Yu Niao was about her, so she retorted: "If a group of us get screwed together, will you be responsible?"
Without even saying anything, Du Li turned around and left first.
Zhang Yitian's flashlight was clearly pointed in her direction, and in the blink of an eye no one was seen and no movement was heard.
Chen Jiu suddenly woke up and stood upright. His pupils dilated and he turned around and asked Yu Niao: "Did you hear anything just now?"
