From the day of the first change to today, only a few days have passed. However, the speed of deterioration of Didi Paradise is too exaggerated. Walking in, you can feel a sense of decay as if it were a world away.
These tall cartoon images have bright colors and cheerful themes. They should be full of joy and celebration, but at this moment they look dark and faded. Instead of having any sense of celebration, they give off a feeling of decay.
Each cartoon image is like an old man hunched over, aging.
Several people passed through the reception area at the gate, followed the directions on the map, and went straight to the "Jungle Tour" project.
The Jungle Tour is an adventure-themed project that is highly stimulating and has a certain story theme. Among all the adventure-themed projects in Didi Park, it is also considered one of the more fun ones.
This project is in the southeast corner of Didi Park.
Entering from the gate, you cannot reach it directly. You have to pass through several other entertainment projects to find that area.
"Is this really Didi Paradise? We won't go to the wrong place, right?" Xu Chunru felt her scalp numbing as she walked.
Everything I saw was too desolate and dilapidated.
How does this look like a paradise that was open a few days ago? It looks like this place has been deserted for at least three to five years.
If we talk about the damage caused by the earthquake to the paradise, it can be understood as dilapidated, but the damage caused by the earthquake will never create such a feeling of desolation.
The traces of corrosion caused by time, the mottled walls, the dilapidated and rusty entertainment facilities, the fallen billboards, and other details are not caused by the destructive power of the earthquake at all.
"Sister Ru, Didi Park was put into operation only two years ago, so it should be at least 80% new. This place doesn't look like Didi Park at all." Yu Siyuan also whispered.
Du Yifeng followed the map instructions and led everyone here. He was quite confident at first.
But at this time, his heart was pounding.
As long as your brain is not broken, you can find that everything you see is obviously wrong.
Could the map be wrong?
Can't go wrong.
This must be Didi Paradise.
If this wasn’t Diddy Land, who would be so bored as to build an archaeological version of Diddy Land in the Ecological Park?
If this is Didi's Paradise, how on earth did it deteriorate into such a horrible state in just a few days?
Without a period of desolation of three to five years, it would never have reached this level.
Han Jingjing held Jiang Yue's arm tightly and said cautiously: "Jiang Yue, is this a trick on the wall?"
There seems to be only one explanation for the absurd scene in front of me, and that is that vision has been deceived.
Is this the legendary ghost covering his eyes?
Jiang Yue shook his head. Based on his many experiences of ghosts breaking into walls, this extremely unreal scene was undoubtedly real.
It's not some kind of trick at all.
There is no such thing as beating the wall.
To say that this place is weird is indeed an incomprehensible weirdness. But why isn’t the B&B hotel area weird?
Entering a strange era, which strange event does not break through human cognition?
"arrive."
Everyone was suspicious, a dangerous place appeared in front of them, and the entrance to the jungle journey was already in front of everyone's eyes.
The design of the park is very unique, making perfect use of the terrain. Although the entire jungle tour project only covers an area of more than 100 acres, the first visual effect makes people feel as if they have truly entered an endless expanse.
of jungle.
As everyone walked through the entrance, they immediately felt like they had entered an isolated world.
Before entering, the sun was shining brightly outside. After entering, they were immediately locked into the dark and cold jungle, and everyone couldn't help but tighten their clothes.
Originally, this adventure project was very rich in content, with various visual, auditory and even olfactory effects, various props, and park employees playing various roles to create a variety of thrilling on-site effects, while also incorporating escape elements.
Game-like elements, with the goal of finally finding the exit smoothly.
In the final analysis, this is actually just an entertainment project, and it is not particularly difficult. After all, it is only more than 100 acres of land. No matter how well the terrain is utilized and no matter how exquisite the design, after all, it is a dojo built in a snail shell, and it cannot be a particularly big one.
Task difficulty.
But now, Jiang Yue didn't dare to look down upon him.
With the advent of a strange era, even a small room of more than ten square meters may pose a fatal threat.
Not to mention the more than 100 acres of jungle.
As expected of a jungle, everyone entered along the opening, and after walking a few steps, they felt as if they had entered a psychedelic forest. All kinds of trees that covered the sky firmly blocked their eyesight from the outside, and the cold atmosphere suddenly enveloped them.
Inside.
The grass beneath my feet made it impossible to tell where to stay and where danger might lurk.
Various shrubs and vines are intertwined with each other in an irregular manner, making it easy for people to conjure up many terrifying scenes.
In the Sunshine Era, everyone has also watched many jungle movies, covering various themes.
The war themes are okay, but the scariest ones are those of the supernatural horror genre, involving jungle themes, which are generally very weird.
As a group of living people walk along, one of them will disappear inexplicably.
Then the team was frightened, suspicious, divided, and seeking death. In the end, there were not many left, and the team was even destroyed.
The further down we go, the less path there is under our feet. The shallowest grass can almost bury our calves, and there is no ready-made path to walk on.
Some people couldn't help but raise questions: "Are the adventure projects in Didi Park so original? Why is there not even a normal road? Doesn't it mean that the adventure projects here are all carefully designed based on the original terrain?"
"I can see the terrain, but I really can't see the design."
After walking for less than three minutes, everyone felt serious discomfort.
That suffocating claustrophobic feeling, the sense of confusion that can never find a way out, slowly grew in the hearts of everyone.
Indeed, as they complained, this is not like a tourist adventure project at all, but it is really like being plunged into an endless primitive jungle.
For normal adventure projects, no matter how the park retains its original ecology, there must be at least some human factors. It is impossible to keep the original flavor without any changes at all.
If this can be called an adventure project, then you can just find a wilderness and sell tickets for money.
Moreover, this project is not described in the information at all.
What I see and hear now is completely different from the information.
"Yifeng, are you mistaken? Why would anyone come to a place like this? What kind of nonsense adventure project is this?"
"There must be something wrong. Even if you pay money to this place, I will never come."
"Shut up, are you all illiterate? The sign at the door is clearly written, and you are not blind." Du Yifeng was furious.
The claustrophobic atmosphere can easily cause panic.
Panic can easily cause severe mood swings.
If emotions are too intense, quarrels may easily occur, and quarrels may lead to internal strife.
Internal strife leads to disaster.
Everything at the scene seems to be developing towards the plot of a bloody horror thriller.
"Calm down, everyone." Jiang Yue always wanted to treat himself as a tool, but none of these people stopped. If he didn't come out to put out the fire, the situation might get out of control in minutes.
"In the final analysis, you have not mentally accepted the strange era until now."
Jiang Yue sighed: "The first principle of the strange era is that anything that seems unreasonable in the sunshine era must be mentally persuaded to accept it."
Du Yifeng echoed: "That's right. Do you still think this is the sunshine era? Do you think we come to the ecological park for tourism?"
Fortunately, Zhang Jiye was not here, otherwise the team's negative emotions would have doubled.
Xu Chunru and others were just complaining, but they really had no intention of making a fuss.
"This place must have mutated, and it must be completely different from the previous entertainment projects. We must accept this."
"Don't forget, our mission in the ecological park is to investigate various strange incidents. Therefore, everyone must adjust their mentality and be energetic. Remember, this is not a tour or a game. Everyone here
Every step may cause danger."
"Think about Zhang Jiye, think about those people who disappeared last night. Don't you want to be one of them?"
Great principles are boring.
The threat of life and death is real.
"Jiang Yue is right. We must adjust our mentality now, especially without internal strife. There are only five left out of seven, and I don't want to reduce the number of people anymore."
After some communication, everyone's suppressed emotions were slightly released.
The engineer shovel in Jiang Yue's hand was slashing left and right, barely opening a way to get off.
Others also imitated Jiang Yue's example and kept their engineering shovels busy.
"Have you noticed that apart from plants, there seems not to be even a single insect in this jungle?" Du Yifeng suddenly said.
It is said that in such a pristine and dense forest, even if there are not all kinds of wild beasts entrenched in it, there will always be various insects and small animals.
But so far, they haven't seen even a small animal, or even heard the sound of insects.
It seems like they are the only living creatures in this jungle.
Generally, various spiders and crawlers will be very active in such deep woods.
"Look, what's over there?"
Han Jingjing suddenly pointed forward and shouted.
Everyone followed her gesture and looked over, only to see a slope in front of them, with some huge rocks lying irregularly on the edge of the slope.
These boulders look very old, and are covered with wet green moss. Their original color can hardly be seen clearly, but they appear dark green.
These boulders are tilted here and there, and there is no trace of any artificial arrangement. They don’t look like the scenery of the park.
But no one is surprised. After walking for so long, no one has found any artificial set design in the jungle.
They have not encountered any of the props, mechanisms, and various so-called stimulating factors mentioned in the game introduction.
This feels very strange, as if they are not entering the game project that was introduced at all.
When everyone got closer, they realized that there was a small stream going down the slope. The stream was not wide, only about two or three meters.
Ordinary people may not be able to cross it in one leap, but for awakened people like them, it is just a small step.
However, everyone was not in a hurry to cross the stream, but circled around these boulders, trying to find some clues.
Jiang Yue's engineer shovel gently scraped the surface of the boulder, slowly scraping off a layer of moss.
After the moss falls off, the dark brown stone surface is exposed.
"Hey, is there writing on it?"
Jiang Yue squatted down in surprise and used an engineering shovel to scrape out a larger area.
There is indeed something carved on the boulder.
It looked like it was indeed a written expression, but with Jiang Yue's knowledge, he didn't even recognize any of the words engraved on it.
"Is this a word?" Xu Chunru couldn't help but reached out to touch it out of curiosity.
When he got close, his delicate hand twitched, and he immediately pulled it back as if it was being burned.
He screamed and blurted out: "It's so cold."
ice?
This is a stone, not an ice cube. How could it be ice?
Yu Siyuan was a little distrustful and reached out.
As soon as it touched the surface of the stone, it was quickly pulled back.
Jiang Yue also stretched out his hand and felt it. There was indeed a bone-chilling chill, but this chill was a bit strange.
Logically speaking, with such an icy cold, the surrounding mosses and grasses should have been frozen to death, so how could they still grow so lushly?
The moss on the surface of the situation is constantly being scraped away, and more and more characters are revealed.
Several people took turns to come up to identify it, but no one could recognize even half of the word.
"This must be someone who deliberately wrote and carved randomly, right? It looks like the characters, but is it actually a trick?" Du Yifeng gave his own speculation.
However, although he said he was being arrogant, his actions were very honest. He took out his mobile phone and took pictures of these boulders, especially those weird characters, and took several close-ups.
Jiang Yue walked to other boulders and scraped away the moss again to see if other boulders were also engraved with such characters.
The others couldn't see what was going on, so they spread out and looked at the surrounding terrain.
Xu Chunru was more courageous. She walked slowly down the slope with an engineering shovel and slowly approached the stream.
Obviously, everyone's mood at this time is more cheerful than before.
Right now, everyone is on the slope, and the distance between each other is no more than twenty meters. There are not many tall old trees blocking the view, and the field of vision is relatively wide, so there should be no danger.
Yu Siyuan followed suit and wanted to follow Xu Chunru down the slope, but was a little worried.
"Siyuan, come down, what are you afraid of? The water is not deep, and you can't even cover your calves." Xu Chunru had already walked to the edge of the stream and roughly observed the situation of the stream.
When Yu Siyuan heard what she said, he smiled and started to follow her.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chunru, who was on the edge of the stream, suddenly screamed and retreated, her eyes filled with fear, and her face became extremely pale.
After retreating halfway up the slope and colliding with Yu Siyuan, Xu Chunru stammered: "There's someone in the water... there's someone in the water!"
Is there anyone in the water?
Jiang Yue also rushed over at this time. Hearing what Xu Chunru said was so weird, he couldn't help but look down the stream.
Didn't it say that the water only reaches the calf? How could anyone do it?
If there really was someone there, standing on the slope of such a narrow stream and shallow water, one could have a clear view of it, right?
"There really is someone. I just got closer. The water was so clear, like a mirror, with reflections. In the water... besides me in the water, I... I also saw another face."
