I used my flashlight to carefully look at the seams of the notebook, shook my head and said, "Everywhere with content has been torn away."
A group of people shook their heads and sighed, including those they didn't know and those who were part-timers. They all felt it was a pity, let alone us, the real owners, that it would be okay if we didn't give people hope. The most uncomfortable thing is to give people hope and then give it to them.
obliterate.
Zhao Dakui took the notebook from my hand and opened it page by page without giving up. Just when I was about to tell him not to waste my efforts, he suddenly shouted in surprise: Look! There are words here!
After hearing this, I immediately stood up and thought to myself, is it impossible? How careless did my friend say it? But so many people just looked through it, but not a single word was found in it?
I moved closer and looked over according to Zhao Dakui's light, and found that there was still nothing on it. Where did the words come from?
What Zhao Dakui turned to was the middle part of the entire notebook, which was relatively well preserved. This was relatively good, but the paper was still in tatters.
Zhao Dakui pointed to the broken marks on the paper and said: There should have been writing on it, but because it was written with a pencil, the writing was missing, and the writing may have been done with a lot of force.
After saying that, he opened a few more pieces of paper and said, "Look, these chapters have almost the same signs of damage. They were scratched by using too much force when writing."
I took it and took a look, and it was really like this. Several pieces of paper were connected, and the damage marks were all the same, as if someone had scratched them all at once with a sharp instrument. In this case, I took out the pen and followed the damage marks on it.
, trace it on the paper like a gourd.
Finally, it became two words: human and snake.
Of course, when he wrote these two words, he wrote very heavily. When do people write very seriously? They only show such expressions when they are very emotional, which can be excitement or fear. Moreover, he wrote
These two words have no punctuation.
Human snake.
What is a human snake? In the end, we discussed that maybe they were attacked by a snake. After all, no one knew what happened specifically, and these two words alone gave us too little information.
I put the tattered notebook into my backpack, thinking that when I went back, I would ask my friends to restore it and see if there was any hidden information on it. Then I said to them: Bury these two people.
Zhao Dakui raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and exclaimed: Oh no! It's too late. Let's leave quickly. If we come back, we will have the chance to bury these two people. After saying that, he directly greeted people and said: Get out quickly, Tianma is coming.
It’s getting dark! We must get out of this forest before it gets dark!
Normally, if Zhao Dakui said anything, I would definitely confront him, but his performance along the way made me like him twice as much. Well, maybe it was just because of the previous antagonistic relationship that made me unhappy with him. In fact, he is a person
, it was pretty good. Seeing that he was so nervous now, he also called to Buck Teeth Si and the others: "Let's follow, let's go first."
We left the shabby house, and I looked at my watch. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhao Dakui's pace had accelerated a lot this time. I don't know why he kept emphasizing that he must leave before dark.
In this forest, I caught up with him and asked: Actually, it's not bad to spend the night in the woods, isn't it? Show me your map. When we get out of the woods, will there be a five-star hotel?
Zhao Dakui glanced at me and said: Let's go on our way first. To be honest, I don't know why I have to get out of this forest before dark, but you have to believe me. My boss is definitely not someone who talks nonsense.
Since he explained it this way, he must have his reasons.
I decisively kept my mouth shut and followed them closely. It was summer now, it was getting dark late, and the sun would normally set around six o'clock. We still had more than an hour to go on our way. I looked up.
Below and overhead, towering trees almost completely blocked the sunlight.
In this forest, is there any difference between day and night?
Ten minutes, half an hour, an hour. Because I was in an urgent mood this time, I didn’t feel how long the time passed. Fortunately, our group of people are in good physical condition. Even with half of my combat power, in these few days
After doing this for several times, my body has obviously improved a lot. Even so, I am still tired and out of breath.
While he was talking, a man in a suit under Zhao Dakui suddenly exclaimed: Boss, look!
A group of us followed his hand and saw a telephone pole made of a rotten tree trunk.
This kind of thing appears again? Last time, I found a broken house with an old generator inside. I couldn't figure out what their team did in such a place where no one can shit.
? They still use generators. Could it be that they are preparing for long-term stationing?
What will appear at the end of the telephone pole this time? Will it also be the corpses of two previous people?
We were on our way in a hurry, but when we encountered this, we had to catch up and have a look. So I asked Zhao Dakui: How far is it to go out of this bird forest?
Zhao Dakui opened the map and handed it to me to look at this time. He said: I calculated the scale on the way here. It stands to reason that we can already walk out of this forest by now. I guess it won't be very far.
I took this opportunity to look at this map. At first glance, it was not the kind of silk book we used to find the Rainforest Mountain Tomb for the first time, but a rather modern map. Here, a forest was drawn. On the forest, there was a drawing.
A big exclamation point was drawn on it, which meant danger. In front of the map, a river was drawn. On the other side of the river, there was a majestic palace, shrouded in clouds and mist, like a heavenly palace.
I pointed to the palace and asked Zhao Dakui: Is this the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang?
He nodded gloomily, looked at the telephone pole, and said: Let's quickly follow this telephone pole to take a look. We don't have much time. No one can say what will happen after the sun goes down. We can't take that risk.
But then, the man in a suit said: Boss! Something is wrong! We seem to be going in circles? When he said this, he was holding a compass in one hand and scratching his head with the other, with confusion on his face.
I said: What's going on? How do you know we're going in circles? Don't we always follow the compass?
The man in the suit said: This is the right way to go, but this telephone pole is the one we encountered last time. There may be other mistakes, but the mark we made next to it is still there. If you don’t believe it, look at it.
We followed him and saw the mark they carved on the telephone pole, a navigation arrow.
circle?
Zhao Dakui's face turned livid, he shook his fist and cursed: Damn his ancestors, we can't go out at night! Come on, let's get to that wooden house first!
I saw that his expression was abnormal, and instead of gloating about his misfortune, he comforted him with words: It's okay, there are so many of us, so many guns, we are not afraid of anything. Besides, we can still use a broken house as a position, right?
Zhao Dakui said: This is the only way. Damn it, I knew this forest was not that simple! Do you know what my boss told me when he came?! He said this forest is a forest of death!
But when we followed the telephone poles back to the dilapidated cabin, we opened the rickety door. The kettle was still inside, the broken generator was still there, and there were even traces of our last troubles.
Only the two mummies from the previous team were missing.
The body disappeared! My scalp went numb instantly and I cursed: Damn that grandma! There are other people in this forest! (To be continued)
