A large number of black insects emerged from the dried corpses, and then entrenched themselves in the sky, watching me and An Keke eagerly.
And I don't know if it's because these bugs stayed in the mummy for too long, or because they are like this in the first place, but there is a very pungent rotten smell emanating from them.
The rancid smell was so strong that it gave me a dizzy feeling. I could only pinch my nose, otherwise I would faint sooner or later.
"Zhao Dongfang, what should we do?" An Keke shouted anxiously, "What on earth are these bugs? They are so disgusting."
I smiled bitterly, thinking that if you ask me, who should I ask? This thing is just like the T-virus in the movie "Resident Evil", which can turn dead people into walking zombies.
Even judging from the current situation, these bugs are more terrifying than the T virus.
However, although these guys are difficult to deal with, it does not mean that there is nothing we can do against them.
I threw the lighter to An Keke, "Haven't you seen it yet? These bugs are afraid of fire. Just like me, light a branch and hold it in your hand, waving it from time to time so that the bugs won't come close to you."
"Okay." An Keke nodded, then picked up the lighter from the ground and quickly lit a branch that fell on the ground.
Just as I guessed, after seeing the torches in our hands, the originally aggressive bugs suddenly did not dare to move forward.
Right now, I shouted, "An Keke, run away."
The situation was urgent, and An Keke and I didn't have much time to think. After choosing a path, we ran wildly.
While running, An Keke and I kept waving the branches in our hands.
It wasn't until we were actually running and there was no "buzzing" sound coming from behind us that An Keke and I stopped.
I rested on a big tree, then I took out a bottle of water from my backpack and drank half of it. "An Keke, where have we been?"
I was just running away without checking the traffic, and now I don't know where I am.
An Keke looked around and thought for a while before saying, "It seems we have entered the interior of Qiaoshan."
I nodded, but I didn't expect that I would run further by chance.
"This Qiaoshan is really an evil place! As soon as we came in, we encountered a large group of mummies. If we hadn't run fast, we would have been bitten by those insects until only the bones were left."
I also have lingering fears. Sister Hong really did not misadvise Wang Xiaoyong at first. This place is really weird!
"Hey, Zhao Dongfang, who do you think those mummies are, and what's going on with the black bugs in their bodies?" After his physical strength slowly recovered, An Keke began to discuss with me.
"I don't know." I shook my head. "The black bugs were probably attracted by the putrid smell of the mummies. I guess those mummies were either villagers from Lushan Village or were visiting the mountains."
However, I think there is a greater chance that those mummies are tourists. If they are villagers in Lushan Village, it is impossible that so many people died in Lushan Village without some news spreading.
After running for such a long distance, I was a little hungry, so I simply took off the backpack behind me and placed it on the ground, then took out bread and beef jerky to eat.
Upon seeing this, An Keke also took out something to eat. While she was eating, she asked me, "What do you think we should do next?"
I looked back at the way I came, not sure if those black bugs were behind me. It was too risky to run back now.
After eating a piece of beef jerky, I said, "Let's continue walking inside as we agreed before! Let's make peace with what we have come here. Even if we go back now, it may not be safer than walking ahead."
An Keke finished the food neatly, then stood up and clapped his hands, "Okay, in this case, let's rest for a while after eating, and then continue walking up the mountain."
I took out my cell phone from my pocket and saw that there was no signal at all, so I had to cancel my plan to call Meng Shiyu.
After fully recovering our physical strength, An Keke and I continued on the road.
This bridge mountain is much bigger than I imagined. An Keke and I went up the mountain at 10:00 noon and didn't go out until dark.
An Keke and I usually walk very slowly, mainly because the mountain roads are difficult to walk. In order to prevent accidents, we can only walk a little more carefully, which naturally makes us unable to walk fast.
After dark, An Keke and I felt that we could not go forward, so after some discussion, An Keke and I decided to rest in the mountains for one night and continue on the road at dawn tomorrow.
It took several hours to walk to Qiaoshan. Except for encountering a group of moving mummies at the beginning, most of the time it was peaceful.
Suddenly, An Keke and I gradually relaxed and became less nervous about the choice we had been making.
As night fell, An Keke and I each set up a simple tent and lit a fire. An Keke and I sat around the fire and warmed ourselves up.
The warm firelight shone on our bodies, and all the chill of the night was driven away at once.
Leaning behind an old tree, he added firewood to the fire from time to time, making a "crackling" sound from time to time.
An Keke stretched lazily, and inadvertently revealed a perfect arc around his waist.
"Zhao Dongfang, when you go to bed tonight, please don't sleep too hard. Pay attention to what's going on outside, otherwise we may not even know that we are dead." An Keke said solemnly.
I smiled and said, "Don't worry. Don't look at me, I am always laughing and joking. When the critical moment comes, I am more reliable than anyone else."
An Keke pouted, "We still can't be careless."
I thought about it and felt that it was a bit inappropriate for two people to sleep at the same time at night, so I suggested, "I think when one of us is sleeping at night, the other person is sitting outside looking at our camp, and one person is guarding it for three hours.
Wake up the other person after three hours and continue to guard the camp. This way we can all have a good rest and ensure safety."
An Keke's eyes lit up, "Okay, actually I think so too. It seems we have come up with something together today."
After joining the Paranormal Investigation Bureau, An Keke and I experienced a lot of things together. We became very familiar with each other and our relationship became much closer.
We kept chatting until my eyelids started to fight and I really couldn't stand it any longer.
An Keke smiled sweetly, "If you're sleepy, don't hold on any longer. You go to bed first. I'm not sleepy yet, so I'll just sit here and watch for a while. I'll wake you up in two and a half hours."
Take my place."
Because I was really sleepy, I stopped being pretentious and went straight into the tent to sleep.
As soon as I lay down and closed my eyes, I fell asleep.
I don't know how much time passed while I was asleep, but I suddenly felt a little cold. I subconsciously grabbed the quilt to the side, trying to wrap the quilt more tightly around my body.
But when I touched it like this, I wiped it out and touched nothing.
My consciousness was vague, and I seemed to hear a slight sound coming from around me, as if someone was walking around me.
I wanted to open my eyes and see clearly what was going on around me, but my upper and lower eyelids seemed to be glued together. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open them completely and could only squeeze out a crack.
I glanced to both sides with my peripheral vision, and there was a white light floating beside me.
That white light slowly approached me. When the distance between the white light and me got closer, the white light became clearer. It turned out that it was not a white light, but a human figure.
It's just that my eyes can't be fully opened, and I can't see the figure clearly.
The figure slowly walked towards me and hovered beside me.
I opened my mouth to say something, but my lips moved for a long time, but no sound came out.
My mind suddenly became confused. Is that figure An Keke?
I wanted to stand up, but for some reason my body felt like it was covered by a stone weighing several hundred kilograms, which was crushing me to death. My body simply refused to obey my orders.
Suddenly a thought emerged from my mind, could I have also encountered a ghost?
But even if I encounter a situation where a ghost is on the bed, what is going on with that figure?
