"Zhongyi, what's wrong with you?" Li Xin reached out and touched my forehead.
I looked up at her and said, "It's okay, I just have a little headache."
At this time, Mai Lao and the big man returned.
Jenny quickly asked, "How's it going, Mr. Mai? Can we pass by the shore?"
Mai Lao sat down and said, "No, we can't make it. As soon as Big Man and I walk out of this jungle, those red bugs will immediately crawl out from all directions. There is no way to go."
The big man also said, "Yes, it's a good thing that we both run fast, otherwise those ghosts would have caught up with us."
"Don't worry, that weird insect won't dare come in. We're still safe here for the time being." I said quietly.
"Zhongyi, are you okay?" Mr. Mai smiled at me. He was very happy to see me waking up.
"It's okay, Mr. Mai, we can't hide in this jungle all the time. We have to find a way to get out of here. Let's discuss it."
Now that everyone was here, after waking up the others, everyone sat on the ground and began to discuss how to escape from here. I also told Mr. Mai and others what happened before.
Everyone felt very strange. They originally decided to leave, but there was definitely no way to go back to the shore. So the only hope was to go up the mountain to see if there was any other way out.
Furthermore, I also want to investigate the wizened old man and this mysterious island. I always feel that all this is not a coincidence, as if someone is pushing the development of things.
Maybe this small island is really the next stop destination, and there is no need to vote this time. The way out is blocked, so this is the only way to go.
Everyone decided to rest until early tomorrow morning and march to the top of the mountain. But if you want to go up the mountain, you have to go through this large jungle. This is the only way you must pass. No one knows how big this jungle is.
But I feel the danger is getting closer and closer to us.
After the matter was discussed, the others lay down and continued to rest. I got up and looked for some thick branches nearby that I could hold in my hands. "Zhongyi, what are you doing?" Mai Lao patrolled around.
, seeing me holding a bundle of branches, he asked me a little confused.
"A temporary self-defense tool." The first guard was Mai Lao and I. To survive in the wild, we have to be vigilant at all times, and someone must stand guard.
I sat on the ground and used a diving knife to sharpen the front of the branch so that it could be used as a spear. The diving knife was too short and difficult to escape. Apart from the two spearguns, the only ones we had were grenades.
.
Mr. Mai came over, took a branch, sat next to me and said, "What a great idea, I'll help you."
The two of us were very fast, and in about half an hour, we were sure that we could each have one. I took it in my hand and tried it, and said, "The thickness is just right. It will definitely be no problem for killing people."
Mai Lao put down what he was holding and said, "Zhongyi, the mysterious old man you told me about today, does he have any characteristics?"
"Characteristics? Didn't I tell you all? He is very skinny, hunched over, and has a bad smell." I put all the prepared weapons together and waited for them to get up.
Just give it to them.
"What I mean is, apart from this, are there any other characteristics, such as...such as appearance?" Mai Lao said, gesturing with his hands.
"No, I can't see his face. Why did you think of asking me this?" What did he mean by asking?
"Oh, it's nothing, I just feel weird. I heard you talk about a person before, but I didn't pay much attention at the time. I always felt like how could there be anyone living in this deserted island?" Mai Lao said, stood up and walked around.
took a look.
I leaned under the tree and said, "I also want to know. I always feel that this island is special. It is not such a simple desert island."
"Yes, I originally thought it was a deserted island, but I didn't expect that so many things would happen. Lao Wang died miserably." Mai Lao said a little sadly.
I stood up and walked over and asked, "By the way, Mr. Mai, tell me...what are those strange red insects?"
Mai Lao shook his head and said, "I don't know, this is the first time I see such a terrifying creature. This kind of insect has never been recorded in human history."
"But I heard Chang Shan say today that these strange insects seem to be brought about by a curse. Have you heard of it?" I asked him tentatively. I have always remembered Chang Shan's words very clearly. This man's actions and words
They are very principled and generally don't talk in vain.
"Curse? Did Chang Shan tell you?" Mai Lao asked with a frown.
I nodded and said, "Well, he told me personally. Is there really such a thing as a curse?"
"It's hard to say. Since we went to sea, nothing can be explained according to common sense. However, I have heard of some so-called curses, but many of them are legends or rumors, and their credibility is not high."
Mai Lao touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"You also know that Chang Shan doesn't like to joke. There must be a reason for him to say that." Mr. Mai did not make a clear statement this time. Is he pretending to be confused? Or does he really not know?
"Maybe, the matter will be found out sooner or later. It's almost time, wake up the big man and Jiao Ba, and let us both take a rest."
It was the turn of the big man and Jiao Ba to stand guard. I fell asleep leaning against the tree in a daze. I didn't know if it was a dream or something. I could always hear the old man's voice in my ears. There was no sound in that voice.
Emotions are just the peace of death.
After this sound, we were surrounded by those strange red insects. They shuttled back and forth in my body. There were countless holes in my body. They crawled out from my eyes and mouth.
.....
I opened my eyes suddenly, and Jiao Ba was sleeping soundly next to me. Jenny and the others were also sleeping across from me. Shunzi and Changshan were standing guard. I have to say that these two brothers are quite dedicated and have always been
Watching back and forth around us.
"Brother Yi, are you awake?" Shunzi saw me waking up and nodded to me with a smile.
I took a look at the time. It should be around one o'clock in the afternoon. Why do I say that? Since I landed on this island, I have found that my watch is disturbed and always goes faster and slower. The watches of several of us have time lag.
, so the time may not be accurate, and there is no sun here, so the specific time cannot be seen at all.
"Call the others, we should get ready to go."
I raised my head and glanced at the sky. It was still gray and gloomy. Although the dense branches blocked the sky, it was still easy to distinguish. Since I landed on this island, I have never seen the sun for a day, let alone felt it.
Beyond the warmth brought by the sun, this damn ghost island is indeed not a normal place.
After waking up everyone else, I gave everyone the weapons I made from tree branches yesterday, and then gave Mai Lao four grenades.
I have been in the military and know how to use this thing.
After we packed up our things, we prepared some baby-faced fruits to satisfy our hunger, and then we started to march. The goal was to go straight to the top of the mountain through the jungle. We walked forward all the way. When we walked for a while, I suddenly discovered
, this jungle is much bigger than I imagined.
It's even scarier than the virgin forest. It's very quiet all around. Those strange big trees seem to be alive. I feel like they are spinning while we are walking. Maybe I am too worried and nervous.
Over-photographed.
In the depths of the jungle, you can't hear the sounds of any animals. Except for the footsteps of our group, you can't even feel the wind. Without the sunshine, the jungle is extremely dark and eerie.
All trembled with fear.
Mr. Mai led the way, and the others were in the middle. Jiao Ba and I were at the back. Jiao Ba muttered, "How fucking far do we have to go? I'm exhausted. It feels like the mountain isn't far away either."
, why does this go on forever?"
"Wangshan is so tiring. You see, the mountain is very close to us. It's a long way to walk, especially in this kind of jungle, which is rugged and difficult to walk." I walked at the end, holding the fish.
Gun said.
Jiao Ba gasped and said, "Oh my god, brother-in-law, can we take a break? I can't walk anymore."
In fact, I was a little tired, but we didn't walk for long at all. The main reason was that we didn't have a good rest in the past few days, and there was no food to eat. In addition, the night Lao Wang died, he was so tortured by those strange insects.
, even more physically and mentally exhausted.
"Then let's take a rest. I'll inform Mr. Mai and the others." I shouted forward loudly, "Old Mai, let's take a rest. We're tired."
Mai Lao stopped, turned around, waved his hands and said, "Everyone, take a rest where you are."
Jenny and Li Xin were both sweating. Li Xin wiped his forehead and asked Jenny, "How is it? Is it okay?"
Jenny nodded reluctantly and said, "It can be done, I'll be fine."
I cut open the baby-faced fruit, walked over and handed it to them and said, "You two, have something to drink. Don't get exhausted."
Li Xin took it, looked at me and said, "Thank you, we still have to go far."
"I don't know either. Through this jungle, we should be able to reach the bottom of the mountain."
This island doesn't look big, but walking in this jungle is really hard. The ground is full of hills and almost no place is flat. People have fallen down several times. Fortunately, there are no strange creatures in it, otherwise
This is really troublesome.
Just as we were resting, Shunzi suddenly called me, "Brother Yi, come quickly and see what this is."
I hurriedly walked towards him again, "What's wrong? Is this a surprise?"
"What kind of flowers do you see in this row?"......
