The shadow was too fast. As the mustache pierced the air, the shadow jumped forward several meters. Old Zhao easily picked up the machete we used to open the road. This sloppy man didn't seem to be much slower than the mustache. The sharp blade followed
The alloy tube shines like a cold light
But the shadow ran very fast against the ground. If Mustache's speed index was ten, then this shadow was at least twelve or thirteen. Old Zhao slashed the air with his sword. When he raised the sword again, the shadow had already
Ran away from the crowd.
"What the hell is this?"
The shadow jumped past the crowd for only a very brief moment, and several people couldn't even catch it with their eyes. There must be some beasts that can hurt people in this dense forest, but from my observation, I couldn't identify what they were.
.It is about seventy or eighty centimeters long, and its body is dark.
But knowing that it was just a wild animal, at least we were not so panicked. A few people dispersed around to be on guard, and the bitten guy began to disinfect and apply medicine. We went over to see his wound, which was on the calf of his right leg.
, it wasn’t big, and the bleeding stopped after a while.
Originally, in such a jungle with lush vegetation, it was relatively normal to be accidentally attacked by wild beasts, at least it was not outrageous. We saw that the guys had taken care of the wounds, so we didn’t pay much attention to it, and next, the camp
It calmed down. But when daybreak came, something was wrong with the injured guy.
He was in a trance, even a little confused, as if he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north after standing up. His body was shaking slightly, but this shaking might not even be noticed by himself. Everyone else was drinking water.
While eating, he sat there shaking non-stop. Mustache and Lao Zhao had already set their sights on him, but they were still observing. Zhang Houhou saw that his back was turned to us and his shoulders were moving like chaff, so he went over to call him.
But after shouting several times, the boy didn't respond. Zhang Houhou was such a shrewd person that he immediately noticed something was wrong. He stopped shouting and patted the boy lightly.
call!
The guy's reaction was very fierce. He raised his arm and directly pushed Zhang Houhou out. The force was a bit weird. Although Zhang Houhou was thin, he had some kung fu in his body. Even a strong ordinary person couldn't push him out.
How about it.
The rest of the people were stunned, wondering what kind of medicine this guy had taken. The guy slowly turned around, and I felt that he was not him at all. His eyes were a little dull, and his eyeballs seemed to be fixed in his eye sockets.
It won't rotate.
This scene immediately reminded me of what happened in the old forest in Kaiyang, when Li Tai was disturbed by brain lice.
The others were in a daze, standing there, not knowing what to do. At this time, a noose flew over from behind the guy. At some point, Lao Zhao sneaked over and used the noose to trap the guy.
Stop. The boy's reaction became fierce again, and his strength became so great that Lao Zhao couldn't control it. But the noose was a slip knot, and the more he struggled, the tighter it became. Gradually, the boy was tightly bound.
Tangled up.
"Hold him down." Lao Zhao clapped his hands, and the two of them ran over to try to subdue the trapped guy.
"It's interesting." Lao Zhao said as he walked towards us: "So much has changed overnight."
"Look at his wounds." Mustache immediately understood what Lao Zhao meant, and it also made me feel a chill down my spine. From yesterday to now, except for the guy being bitten by that unknown thing, there have been no accidents.
If there is a problem, it can only be pushed to the wound.
At this moment, the man who was trapped somehow broke free of the noose. One of the two people holding him was thrown several meters away, and he stretched out his hand to strangle the neck of the other one, and strangled him very hard.
tight.
"This person can't stay anymore." The mustache did not move, but just said one sentence to Zhang Houhou.
Zhang Houhou was a little shocked. He looked at his mustache and then at me. I couldn’t say anything more, but I knew how Li Tai died, and I also knew that the matter might be more serious than we thought. For a mentally disturbed person,
He said that taking him away would be a big trouble and might lead to even more uncontrollable consequences. If he couldn't be taken away, it would be better to give him a happy life.
And we suspect that this guy’s mutation is related to the bite he received yesterday. This situation immediately made me think of the word infection. Will he infect others?
Zhang Houhou usually scolded his clerks harshly, but he still took good care of the people below him. He couldn't bear to take action, so he tentatively asked if there was any other way.
"Yes." Lao Zhao said as if nothing was wrong, holding a cigarette in his mouth: "You carry him on your back."
While we were talking, the guy was already being held down by several people. Mustache walked over and used an alloy tube to lift up his trouser legs. The wound didn't seem to have changed much, it was slightly swollen, and there was nothing unusual about it.
There is really nothing we can do about this situation. We don’t know why he became like this, and there is no way to cure him. Zhang Houhou hesitated for a long time, became cruel, and raised his head to give some instructions. The guys below couldn’t bear it either, but the two of them
I was forced to dig a hole.
The man was executed, shot through the heart, and then dragged into a pit and buried. This was our first real crisis, and it was unbearable. I lit a cigarette and stopped looking.
After seeing too much life and death, I take these things lightly. It may seem inhumane to do this, but the starting point is for other people, and I can't judge whether it should be done.
The rest of the people were not willing to stay here any longer. Three to four hundred meters away was the top of the hillside that inserted into Baozi Mountain. We immediately moved there with all our things. We originally planned to walk directly from here to the vicinity of Baozi Mountain.
I went over and looked for possible traces. Because I did a useless job yesterday and it was already dark when I went around from there, so I didn't look carefully at the Baozi Mountain side. However, after a quick look, I saw some problems.
I don’t know if this problem is closely related to our actions. The specific situation was first noticed by Xiaozhu. From the surrounding highlands approaching Baozi Mountain, there are three slopes with small slopes. We chose the nearest one.
There were many stones on the hillside. Xiaozhu discovered that these hillsides had been trimmed by people. If those stones were cleared away, the hillside would be as flat as a road.
Moreover, the sections where the hillsides have been repaired are about four to five meters wide. If you are just passing people, there is no need to put in so much effort. These repaired hillsides are the same as the incomplete and damaged simple roads we saw before, and they are for vehicles.
Passage means that there are a lot of things that need to be hauled away from the mountains or brought in from outside the mountains.
There is a difference between these repaired hillsides and the previous simple roads. The roads can be destroyed, but the roads on the hillside are built on the basis of the main body. Even if they are destroyed, they cannot be destroyed so completely. If you observe carefully, they are still
You can find that the road originally built extends along the terrain.
"Does it lead to the foot of Baozi Mountain?"
"Let's see and then talk."
Lao Zhao and Xiao Hu did not take anyone with them, so they searched all the way down the hillside themselves. At first, the traces of the road on the slope were more obvious, but after reaching the bottom of the slope, these traces gradually became blurred and needed to be identified. I thought
It took a long time for Mustache and Lao Zhao to judge the final direction of the road, but within half an hour, Lao Zhao ran back by himself.
"You stay up there and be careful." Lao Zhao told everyone who stayed up there: "Take cover."
"What's going on?"
"I found this in the cracks in the rocks below." Lao Zhao opened his palm, and there was something about an inch long in his palm. It was brown and looked like a piece of plastic: "It should be a broken spectacle leg."
"Has anyone been here?"
"That's inevitable." Lao Zhao looked back and said, "I don't know the other party's details, so it's better to be careful."
Lao Zhao went down again and continued to search with Mustache. We were all obedient, so we dispersed here and hid. I stayed with a buddy, and each of us was responsible for observing one direction. I stared closely at Mustache and Old Zhao.
Zhao's figure moved further and further away, but I could still tell that they were constantly approaching Baozi Mountain.
I have a feeling that the final end point, or starting point, of that simple road or even the road on the slope should be here at Baozi Mountain. The vehicles passing on the road are either transporting things from here, or transporting things to
Here. In short, some of the clues in front of us point to Baozi Mountain.
But this is just my feeling and cannot be calculated. The specific situation needs to be analyzed by Xiao Hu and Lao Zhao after investigation.
I stared at their figures, and the guy next to me kept turning his head to look at them. I had an impression of this guy before, he was stubborn, and he was a bit of a loser, but he knew some blasting techniques and was responsible for these things when he was working in the past.
After sitting for a long time, he couldn't sit still anymore. It seemed like there were nails growing under his buttocks. He was twisting back and forth, and his hands and feet were not honest. The shaking made me a little upset.
"Can you live in peace for a while?" I said to him, staring down without looking back.
My status is quite special, so people under Lei Yingxiong are very respectful. This guy nodded repeatedly after listening to my words, but he was a fool, so he sat a little more honestly and reached out to me for a cigarette. I gave it to him.
He ordered one and started smoking.
But while smoking, he suddenly became quiet. This silence made me feel a little surprised. I glanced at him and immediately saw that he was motionless, and the sweat on his face was pattering down like rain.
He dropped the cigarette, and the cigarette in his mouth trembled continuously with his two lips.
His appearance immediately startled me, because something like that just happened in the morning, which made me a little nervous. I immediately distanced myself from him.
"What’s wrong with you!"
"Boss Wei, let me ask you something." He suddenly asked me: "If a person is shot through the heart, can he still live?"
"I can live forever!" I felt that his words were a bit garbled, and I became more alert, so I turned over and got up.
As soon as I moved, the guy seemed to have been stabbed hard by a needle in his butt. He jumped up, pointed his hand behind him, and said tremblingly: "Then why is he still crawling!"
