A vast white fog shrouded the jungle, making it impossible to see even one's fingers. The two lights and bonfires in the camp could only illuminate a small area, and a little further away was a white barrier.
Four people sit around a campfire.
The rabbit and fish were freshly roasted without any seasonings. Sprinkled with instant noodle seasoning packets, the taste turned out to be just fine.
Song Yiyuan was eating roasted rabbit and looking at the fog around him, always feeling like he was in a dream.
"The fog is too heavy and there is no signal on the mobile phone." Song Yiyuan said, "For safety's sake, let's take turns keeping watch at night."
Jiang Ke didn't seem to care about the fog, but he agreed with Song Yiyuan's opinion in words: "You and Chi Shi will stay for the first half of the night, and Mo Qing and I will stay for the second half of the night."
Song Yiyuan nodded: "Okay."
Chi Shi and Mo Qing were noncommittal.
The fog came suddenly, and although few people didn't discuss it too much, they all knew that if there was a real danger, it would be detrimental to them.
After the four people finished finishing the food, the satellite phone suddenly rang. It was Xiao Yuqun's call.
The four of them looked at each other.
In fact, the place where Xiao Yuqun and his group camped was less than thirty meters away from them.
Sitting here, they could not only see the lights on Xiao Yuqun's side, but occasionally hear the noise coming from there. They didn't need a satellite phone to communicate.
Mo Qing clapped his hands and said, "Take it, let's see what he wants to do."
Jiang Ke answered the phone.
"Have you encountered any unusual situations?" Xiao Yuqun's voice came from the satellite phone.
Jiang Ke: "No."
Xiao Yuqun reminded: "We have sent more than a dozen teams into the mountains one after another. When there is no mountain fog, we just can't find Xiwu Village. But once we encounter mountain fog, we will occasionally encounter poisonous fog and occasionally encounter attacks."
Jiang Ke asked: "A wild beast attack?"
"I don't know." Xiao Yuqun paused for a moment, "I have only seen one person who survived an encounter with a wild beast in the mountain mist."
The sound is very clear.
The three people present, including Jiang Ke, all looked at Song Yiyuan.
Song Yiyuan was unhappy at first when he heard Xiao Yuqun's voice, but when he saw the three men's eyes sweeping over him, he suddenly realized it.
He said nothing and shrugged his shoulders.
——He is truly a miracle.
"Anyway, I'd like to give you a heads up." Without waiting for their response, Xiao Yuqun continued, "In addition, according to our experience, if the fog is thicker, the satellite phone will be useless."
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but as soon as Xiao Yuqun finished speaking, there was a "sizzling" sound of electricity coming from the satellite phone.
The phone was forced to hang up.
Jiang Ke tried to call Huos, but the call was connected, but intermittently. He briefly explained the situation to Huos, but before Huos could say anything, the call hung up again.
This time, the call couldn't be dialed directly.
There is no signal at all.
"This mountain fog is indeed a bit weird." Mo Qing took the satellite phone and played with it for a while, then asked Song Yiyuan, "Do you remember any details?"
"I've said everything I can." Song Yiyuan spread his hands, "I lived in a single-person tent. I slept until midnight when I suddenly heard them shouting that there was a pack of wolves attacking. When I came out of the tent, people were running
, the camp is already in chaos."
"A dozen of you, you didn't even put up a fight when you encountered a pack of wolves, and just ran away?" Mo Qing was suspicious, "Besides, the pack of wolves won't attack you for no reason, right?"
Song Yiyuan shook his head: "I don't know, I actually didn't see the wolf."
"Then why are you running?"
"In the dark, I planned to go back to the tent to get a flashlight, but suddenly a wild beast attacked me, so I had to run away." Song Yiyuan paused for a while, "...because they all said it was a wolf, so I defaulted to it as a wolf.
.However, I reserve my opinion as to what kind of beast it is."
As a person who has personally experienced it, and even walked on the verge of death, Song Yiyuan has lingering fears.
He didn't want to think too much.
When Hoss and others asked, he defaulted to being a wolf and kept the same name as the others.
"Why do you say that?" Mo Qing continued to ask.
"...I can't say, I just don't think it looks like a wolf." Song Yiyuan hesitated for a moment and said an unexpected situation, "Actually, I didn't see it clearly, but I estimate that the beast is at least two meters tall.
.”
"Blind Bear?"
Mo Qing blurted out.
Jiang Ke shook his head: "There are no records of bears in this mountain."
Song Yiyuan was helpless: "I really don't know. But when I was attacked by it, I did feel that it was higher than me."
"Is it possible that the poisonous mist can cause hallucinations?" Mo Qing threw dry branches into the bonfire. "Actually, there were no wolves or wild beasts when the incident occurred. It was just the hallucination of seeing wolves that caused a commotion. And you were running away.
After getting lost, I did encounter a wild beast, but because of hallucinations, I thought it was different from what I thought?"
Mo Qing's guess opened up a new way of thinking for Song Yiyuan: "It is indeed possible."
"Xiao Yuqun said that only Song Yiyuan survived after encountering wild beasts." Jiang Ke frowned, "But all of you encountered wolves at that time, but you were only poisoned."
Song Yiyuan suddenly realized: "So, are the wolves real or fake?"
"It may be an illusion, and Xiao Yuqun also knows it is an illusion." Jiang Ke said, "However, it is also possible that someone deliberately fabricated it in order to create chaos and make you act separately."
Song Yiyuan was puzzled: "What's the purpose?"
Mo Qing raised an eyebrow: "I have to ask Xiao Yuqun."
The words fell.
The four of them looked at the camp thirty meters away.
It's quiet in the mountains.
The movement coming from over there was particularly obvious.
"Judging from what Xiao Yuqun said, the former travelers must have been here many times and have rich experience." Mo Qing clapped his hands, "Don't give up this information. I'll go and inquire about it."
Jiang Ke was about to get up.
Mo Qing stopped him: "It's more convenient for me to be alone."
Jiang Ke hesitated for a moment, unable to find a reason to argue, so he could only warn: "Pay attention to safety."
