Fine raindrops fell in clusters and landed on the dark soil. The air was extremely dull and silent together with the standing tombstones.
A strange crow flew low in the air, its blood-red eyes turned strangely, and it was unknown what it saw. It suddenly flapped its wings and took off into the air, screaming in surprise and leaving the area.
The cry was noisy and harsh, as if it was fearing something.
This is a cemetery, surrounded by desolation, with no green plants to be seen. The nameless tombstones are neatly arranged and very close to each other, leaving only a path for one person to pass.
A deep square pit is dug behind each tombstone, and a pair of dark coffins are placed.
The wind was so strong that it rattled the door of the small house at the end of the path. All the dust accumulated on the door handle was scattered, and only a large piece of yellow talisman paper was still clinging to the door tenaciously.
I don’t know how much time passed.
"Crunch——"
The door that had not been opened for a long time was opened by a pair of pale arms, and the pale-skinned young man stretched out and walked out of the door. The darkness behind him was extremely deep, making it difficult to see the scene inside the house clearly.
Bai Mo was wearing a black sportswear. He stood quietly at the door for a long time, looking up at the dark sky, with a relaxed smile on his face.
"The weather is so nice." He said with emotion.
The sky was still gloomy, it didn't look like early morning, but more like dusk. It was not a good weather at all.
The strange thing is that both the howling wind and the continuous rain have stopped without knowing when.
After a simple wash, Bai Mo picked up a wooden stick from the house and patrolled around the cemetery to confirm whether there was anything abnormal last night.
As a gravekeeper, his main job is to be responsible for the safety of this cemetery, more specifically, to ensure the safety of the corpses in the cemetery.
Of course it wasn't because he was worried about being haunted, he was a staunch atheist.
What you need to be wary of is people.
After all, there are everyone these days, including those who are brave and thrill-seeking. Some may even sneak into the cemetery and steal corpses, so we have to be careful.
Seeing that everything was normal, Bai Mo walked into the house, and then he noticed that the door was covered with dense yellow paper. He couldn't help but frown and said: "Who posted this small advertisement? The writing is like a ghost painting."
"I remember it wasn't available yesterday..."
Perhaps because he didn't sleep well last night, Bai Mo's thoughts were a little confused. He didn't go into details, but cleaned the room carefully.
I don't know what happened, but the food and water he had just bought a short time ago were inexplicably broken. He could not eat or drink. Even the toothpaste he had just used for washing had a strange smell.
It looks like it has expired.
This was no small matter. While it was still early, he had to go shopping nearby.
"A group of unscrupulous merchants dare to sell such black-hearted products without fear of retribution..."
Bai Mo muttered to himself, closed the door, and walked out of the cemetery along the path, gradually disappearing into the morning mist.
…
At the same time, on a desolate road, a team was slowly advancing with full vigilance.
There are about seven or eight people in this team, including men and women. Most of them are fully armed and have cold expressions. At first glance, they are not easy to get along with.
At the end of the team was a strong man. He was carrying a camera, adjusting his body shape from time to time, and filming everyone all the time.
In front of him, a long-haired girl holding a miniature microphone took a deep breath, smiled sweetly at the camera, and spoke in a low voice.
"Hello everyone, I am Cheng Zi, a reporter from the forbidden area. As you can see, six explorers and I have now entered the forbidden area."
"This is an unexplored C-level restricted area, codenamed 'Buyu Village'. The information inside is completely unknown. We will be the first batch of explorers to let everyone clearly see the situation in the restricted area."
"Without further ado, the exploration is about to begin. For the sake of safety, I will turn off the microphone and try to stay quiet."
The smile on Chengzi's face softened slightly, and he decisively turned off the microphone, his expression becoming alert.
In a restricted area, keeping quiet is the most basic survival rule.
What's more, the restricted area this time is called Buyu Village——
Anyone with any sense knows to shut up.
The forbidden area first appeared more than two hundred years ago. Black stone monuments fell from the sky and swallowed up large areas of land, forming strange and unpredictable forbidden areas. Only less than one-tenth of the human activity area remained.
There are many dangers in the restricted area. Mutated animals and plants, terrifying monsters, and even weird life beyond human cognition have brought huge threats to human safety.
Fortunately, these things cannot leave the restricted area, and many powerful individuals have emerged among humans, who have been exploring and cleaning the restricted area.
Crisis and interest coexist in the restricted area. Putting aside the new things in the restricted area, as long as someone can bring out the information alive, they can get a huge windfall, so it attracts many people to go.
As time went by, a profession that made a living from exploring forbidden areas gradually evolved, that is, the explorer.
They may have superior intelligence or amazing force, and they are constantly active in restricted areas for profit or fun.
Instead of stopping it, the parliament vigorously supported and launched a program called "Secrets of the Forbidden Zone", which exploded in ratings as soon as it was released.
There is no editing, no mosaic, injuries and bleeding are commonplace, and death is also commonplace. This is the cruelest reality show, and it also reveals the secrets of life in the restricted area from close range. Every time it is broadcast, it will cause a craze——
If the program is complete enough.
The dangers of the restricted area are not just talk. In fact, most of the mystery programs have no beginning or end, because few survivors can leave the restricted area alive.
According to incomplete statistics, less than one-third of the expeditions have survivors.
It is worth mentioning that insurance companies have already stipulated that they refuse to apply for insurance for explorers, and they are not responsible for deaths related to the restricted area.
Chengzi retracted his thoughts, forced himself to calm down, and the team moved forward along the path.
Not long after walking, the road ahead suddenly opened up. Everyone looked at each other and walked along the road.
The strong photographer carried the camera and captured the scenes along the way.
Not long after, a village suddenly appeared in front of it. On both sides of the road were large areas of abandoned farmland. The weeds were extremely lush, almost as tall as a person.
The explorers were not surprised. When the Forbidden Land appeared, a large number of cities were destroyed. The village in front of them should also be one of the towns that unfortunately fell.
Then the next second, something shocking happened to everyone. They actually saw an old man under the big tree at the entrance of the village!
The old man was lying on an old recliner with a moldy cattail leaf fan on his lap. He exuded a withered smell, his eyes were closed, and his chest did not rise at all, just like a corpse.
Everyone was shocked. How could there be anyone in the restricted area?
Unless other explorers entered before them, there would be no living person in the restricted area... But this old man is so old that he can even walk, so how could he be a explorer?
And...is he dead or alive?
Chengzi suddenly became nervous. She was just an ordinary person with no strength and no firearms. If something happened, she would definitely be the first to suffer.
If she hadn't been forced to do so, she would never have come to the C-level restricted area to die.
Being blocked at the entrance of the village by such a strange old man, everyone hesitated for a moment. While hesitating, they heard someone whisper:
"This man's chest didn't rise and fall, and he didn't move for a long time. He should be dead... He was probably a victim two hundred years ago, but for some reason his body was not rotten."
Everyone nodded secretly, this guess was not unreasonable, because from beginning to end, the old man did not show any abnormality.
It seems to be a real corpse...
They still didn't dare to be careless and quickly looked back at the speaker, waiting for his next analysis.
The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked very steady. He stared in the direction of the old man with a confident smile on his face.
As a reporter, Chengzi naturally knew relevant information about the participants of the program. He knew that this person's surname was Chen. He was not only smart and decisive, but also a capable person. He could be said to be both wise and brave, very powerful.
You must know that he is a senior explorer who has left the C-level restricted area alive.
Thinking of this, Chengzi couldn't help but feel hopeful, but gradually realized something was wrong.
Everyone stared at the middle-aged man.
Time passed minute by minute, but the middle-aged man did not speak for a long time. He was motionless, his eyes were gray, like a sculpture.
Deathly silence.
Chengzi gradually felt creepy. Something was obviously wrong with Mr. Chen. She saw the faint fear and doubt remaining in his eyes.
The explorer was very decisive and stepped back to keep distance from the middle-aged man, ready to take action at any time.
Just when everyone was suspicious, blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and his body slowly fell to the ground, but there was still a confident smile on his face, completely lifeless.
he died.
This weird scene made everyone present feel numb. It was just a matter of words, but this guy actually died?
He is a capable person!
The more terrifying thing was yet to come. As the middle-aged man fell to the ground, everyone discovered that there was a little girl standing behind him, with a cute bun, red lips and white teeth, like a porcelain doll.
A chill ran down their spines, because in the girl's hand... she was holding a tongue that had been pulled out by the roots!
"So Mr. Chen died after his tongue was pulled out by this child?"
Chengzi reacted instantly, his whole body trembled, he quickly took a few steps back and hid behind the group of explorers.
When everyone was on guard, this weird little girl also tilted her head and looked at everyone, her gray eyes full of cold death.
The next second.
She threw her bloody tongue on the ground like trash, grinned, and gave everyone a malicious smile.
Putting the bloody index finger of her right hand between her lips, she first licked the blood on her finger, and then softly uttered a syllable.
