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 is another world.
These tall cartoon images, with bright colors and cheerful themes, should have exuded joy and celebration, but at this moment they looked dark and dark. They looked seriously faded. Instead of having any sense of celebration, they gave off a feeling of decay.
The cartoon images are like hunched old people, aging.
Several people walked through the reception area at the gate, followed the directions on the map, and went straight to the "Jungle Tour" project.
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 located 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 for business 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 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 this way. 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?
It’s impossible to make a mistake.
This must be Didi Paradise.
If this wasn’t Didi Paradise, who would be so bored as to build an archaeological version of Didi Paradise 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 three to five years of desolation, 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 one's eyes?
Jiang Yue shook his head. Based on his many experiences of ghosts breaking into walls, this extremely unreal scene was undoubtedly real.
This is not a trick at all.
There is no such thing as beating the wall.
To say that this place is weird, it is indeed weird that is hard to understand. But why isn’t the B&B hotel area weird?
In the age of weirdness, which weird event doesn’t 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.
Everyone walked through the entrance and immediately felt that they had entered an isolated world.
Before entering the door, the sun was shining brightly outside. After entering, it was as if they were locked in the dark and cold jungle. Everyone could not 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 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 inside a snail shell, and it cannot be a particularly big one.
Task difficulty.
But now, Jiang Yue did not dare to look down upon him.
In a strange era, even a small room of more than ten square meters may pose a fatal threat.
Let alone 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 under 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 scary pictures.
In Sunshine Times, everyone has also watched many jungle-type movies, covering various themes.
War themes are okay, but the scariest ones are those of the supernatural horror genre, involving jungle themes, which are generally very weird.
In a group of large living people, while walking around, one of them will disappear inexplicably.
Then the team became frightened, suspicious, divided, and committed suicide. In the end, there were not many left, and the team was even destroyed.
The further down we go, the less and less there is a path 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 ask: "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.”
Everyone felt serious discomfort within less than three minutes of walking.
The suffocating claustrophobic feeling, the sense of confusion that can never find a way out, slowly grew in everyone's minds.
It is 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 a normal adventure project, no matter how the park retains its original ecology, there must at least be 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 to collect money.
Furthermore, this project is not described in the information at all.
What you see and hear now is completely different from the data.
“Yifeng, are you mistaken? Why would anyone come to a place like this? What kind of bullshit adventure project is this?”
“There must be something wrong. Even if you pay extra, I will never come to this place.”
"Shut up, you can't even read? 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 happening 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 yet accepted the strange era mentally.”
Jiang Yue sighed: "The first principle of the strange era, anything that seems unreasonable in the sunshine era, you must mentally convince yourself to accept it."
Du Yifeng echoed: "That's right. Do you still think this is the age of sunshine? Do you think we come to the ecological park for tourism?"
Fortunately, Zhang Jiye is not here, otherwise the negative emotions of the team 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 events. 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 to life and death is real.
“Jiang Yue is right. We must adjust our mentality now, especially without internal strife. There are only five people 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.
Jiang Yue's engineering shovel was slashing left and right, barely opening a path that he could get off.
Others also imitated Jiang Yue’s example and kept their engineering shovels idle.
“Have you noticed that apart from plants, there seems to be no insects in this jungle?” Du Yifeng suddenly said.
Normally speaking, in such a pristine dense forest, even if there are not all kinds of wild beasts entrenched in it, there will always be a lot of insects and small animals.
But so far, they have indeed not seen even a small animal, or even heard the sound of insects.
As if they were the only living creatures in the 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 man-made 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 feeling is very strange, as if they are not entering the game project in the introduction 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 this leap, but for those who are awakened, 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, a dark brown stone surface is exposed.
“Hey, there are words 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. With Jiang Yue’s knowledge, he didn’t recognize any of the characters.
“Is this a word?” Xu Chunru couldn’t help but reached out to touch it out of curiosity.
As soon as he got close, his delicate hand twitched, and he immediately pulled it back as if it was being burned.
He let out a cry 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, so he also reached out.
As soon as it touched the surface of the stone, it was quickly taken back.
Jiang Yue also stretched out his hand and felt it. There was indeed a chill that penetrated his bones, but this chill was a bit strange.
Logically speaking, with such a freezing 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 have been deliberately pranked by someone, right? It looks like the characters, but is it actually a trick?” Du Yifeng gave his own speculation.
However, although he said he was pretending to be a ghost, 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.
Others couldn't see what was going on, so they spread out and looked at the surrounding terrain.
Xu Chunru was more courageous. He 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.
At the moment, 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 standing by the stream, suddenly screamed and retreated, her eyes filled with fear, and her face became extremely pale.
Xu Chunru retreated until she was halfway up the slope and collided with Yu Siyuan. Only then did 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 you say that the water only reaches the calf? How could there be anyone?
If someone really wanted to stand on the slope and have a clear view of such a narrow stream and shallow water, right?
"There is really 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."
