The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Chonghai County. The terrain of the tourist county is flat, backed by a crescent mountain. Although it is still some distance from the seaside, there are many coconut trees planted around it, and the buildings in the city are relatively concentrated. Most of them are colorful two-story buildings.
A small building.
"I bet no one has been here for at least ten years..."
Tourists walked into the county town with trepidation. The colorful buildings were already dilapidated. The yellow and moldy walls were cracked like spider webs. Weeds grew wildly from the cracks in the ground, covering the shops and glass windows on both sides of the street.
It was also so dirty that I couldn't see clearly inside.
"Hmph~"
The dominatrix held the steel knife and sneered: "It's not a matter of whether you come to this place, but...don't you see?"
"What's the problem? I didn't see any mummies or skeletons, and there don't seem to be any traces of monsters..."
The tourists all looked around blankly. There was a thin layer of sea sand on the ground, but there were no traces of insects, let alone suspicious footprints. Moreover, the county town was not in a mess. The banners welcoming tourists fifteen years ago were all vaguely visible.
distinguish.
"No! It's too neat. This place has never been messy..."
Officer Zhang suddenly shouted in shock. He was startled by the crowd of more than a hundred people, but he immediately came to his senses. Before, there was chaos outside the hotel, luggage and clothes were scattered everywhere, but this place was not even
Not a single shoe is visible.
"Officer Zhang! Don't be so surprised..."
A female literary youth pushed up her glasses and said: "Back then, some residents were evacuated in an emergency. This place is so close to the island pier. They must have gone to the pier after being notified. They thought they could come back, so it's not surprising that they locked the door and left.
ah!"
"Nonsense! If you have no brains, don't mislead everyone..."
A young man said angrily: "There is no convenience store in front of me. They don't even open the rolling shutter. There is a sign on the barber shop that says it is open. If the residents have time to evacuate calmly, they will leave the salty goods outside without collecting them."
Are you leaving?"
"That's right! There are also sausages and salted fish hanging out to dry..."
Everyone immediately shrank into a ball in fear, but when they heard a "crash", they saw Zhao Guanren accidentally breaking a glass door of the seafood restaurant. He shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment, but he walked out of the restaurant door.
Came back.
"Mummy! So many mummies..."
Everyone collectively gasped. There were more than a dozen mummies in the restaurant. Some fell dead on the ground, some were leaning on the sofa, and some were even still sitting at the table, holding chopsticks in their hands and preparing to eat, as if they were eating.
He died suddenly and quietly in an instant.
"How could this happen? What killed them..."
Everyone huddled together in confusion, and Yu Qin also opened the door of a barber shop. Unexpectedly, it was the same in the barber shop. Two customers were sitting on the barber chairs surrounded by white cloths. They had already turned into half skeletons, and their hands were upside down on the ground.
Barber holding scissors.
"Not a werewolf, just a pure mummy..."
Yu Qin stabbed the two mummies with a knife. There was no sign of corpse transformation or werewolf transformation. She then dragged one out and threw it on the street. Several people turned it over in the sun to check, but there were no wounds at all.
, the expression on his face also looked very peaceful.
"Invisible woman! That invisible female ghost did it..."
An uncle exclaimed in shock: "These mummies are the same as those in the villa. There are no scars on their bodies and they remained the same when they died. But with so many people dead at once, this place must be their home. The ones in the villa are just one."
A lone wolf!"
"Insightful! What this uncle said makes sense..."
Zhao Guanren turned around and gave a thumbs up, but immediately a girl shouted: "Brother Ren! Let's not stay here anymore. It's safer to go camping than here. It's going to be dark soon, we have to leave quickly."
That’s all right!”
"Camping? You will die faster in the wilderness..."
Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "The best defense is to attack. If we don't find the Invisible Girl, we will not be safe no matter where we go. Don't forget that this is already the fifth circle. Everyone quickly collect the supplies and we will follow in a quarter of an hour.
I'm leaving!"
"Quick, quick! Get food, medicine, and candles..."
Everyone hurriedly scattered around to search. This was the end of the road after seeing too many mummies. They packed all the food they could still eat. Electronic devices were still not available in this place. They could only search for candles and fuel, and some people marked the tricycle.
Angry.
"Fourth brother! Where are we going? We can't run around..."
A team of more than ten people left the main street. The leader was a man in his forties with a mustache. He was accompanied by two young men who always called him boss. And their team was full of young adults, including
Four women and one girl.
"We can't just listen to others..."
The fourth brother held a tourist map in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The origins of the six boys are unknown. Yu Qin and the other six women also have evil intentions. We must guard against them. Don't say anything later, just say that we are here to look for you."
From the tent!”
"Police station?"
The team members were suddenly stunned. There was a police station in a small courtyard in front of them. The fourth brother ran in without hesitation with a knife and quickly found six pistols and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
All the men in the team got excited.
"boss!"
A young man said: "They have magical weapons in their hands, especially Shu Yu's flying sword. We are no match for him in a fight!"
"Idiot! Why should we fight with them? Guns are for self-defense..."
The fourth brother stuffed the pistol into his lower back and said: "We will comply with normal requests, but if we are really forced to die, they will have to weigh the gun in hand. If there is a chance to come across a magical weapon, we will take the initiative.
It must be in your own hands!"
"That's right! Only with the barrel of a gun in hand can one have the right to speak..."
The six men quickly put away their guns, and the five women also hid the extra bullets. But just as everyone was walking out together, the fourth brother grabbed a beautiful young woman and handed her an old backpack.
Then he gently opened the zipper.
"Gun? Fourth brother, I don't know how to use it..."
The beautiful young woman found that there was a microflush, two boxes of ammunition and three magazines in the bag, but the fourth brother took out a few more cans and stuffed them in.
"Hu Na! You have to carry this spear for me, otherwise those people will be able to see it at a glance..."
The fourth brother whispered: "Only long guns can scare them. Small pistols are useless. I will also take care of you mother and daughter in the future. As long as I am alive, I will never let you be bullied. Monsters on the island
Don’t even think about hurting you!”
"Fourth brother!"
Hu Na said in surprise: "You, how do you know Xiaohui is my daughter? I always said she is my sister?"
"Your daughter told her friend, and I accidentally overheard it..."
The fourth brother smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that you got pregnant when you were seventeen years old, and the father of the child was your teacher. He was disgraced and committed suicide. You gave the child to your mother and went to other places. A few years later, you married a colleague again.
Can you come back to see your children occasionally, right?"
"Oh~ I didn't expect the child to know about it. I always thought she didn't know about it..."
Hu Na nodded helplessly and said: "Fourth brother! I am a woman who has suffered a lot. My husband cheated on me and was violent. Now our mother and daughter are like this again. I can only ask you to take care of me from now on. I will definitely hide your gun."
, I won’t let my daughter find out!”
"You are a good woman, I believe in you..."
The fourth brother hugged her very gently. Hu Na also stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the face. Then she transferred all the contents of her satchel to her backpack and ran out with the fourth brother one after another.
I returned to the main street as if I didn't recognize him.
"Run forward, pay attention to both sides and roofs..."
After Zhao Guanren counted the number of people again, he took the lead directly across the entire county. Tourists in large and small bags followed, and there were two tricycles pulling supplies. But everyone thought he was going up the mountain, but he ran in instead.
A primary school.
"Why are you here? It's not safe here either..."
Everyone looked around nervously and confusedly. The courtyard of the primary school was not small, but there was only a dilapidated three-story teaching building and a one-story office building.
Although it is located at the very edge of the county, there are many self-built houses around it, and it is surrounded by wasteland on three sides. The thatch is more than half a person deep, and it is difficult to spot a hidden tiger.
"The women carried the food up to the third floor, the classrooms were cleared, and the toilets were taken care of on the second floor. The men all followed us in groups..."
Zhao Guanren unloaded his treasures and naturally threw them to Sister Han Qiu. He immediately called a group of men to leave the campus. Xia Buer and others also left with a group of people each. The women had to carry the food up.
,Fortunately there are no mummies in the school.
"Sister Ruo!"
A girl walked up to the third floor and asked: "What are the six brothers doing? Isn't it better to live in a ruined temple on the mountain than here?"
"Do you think you can escape by hiding? This is the fifth circle..."
Sister Leopard Spot stood on the guardrail overlooking the county town and said: "This place has a wide view. As long as you can see something, you will be discovered once you get close. Only when we find out what the enemy is, can we adapt to local conditions, otherwise we will hide."
You'll die faster, let's go!"
Sister Leopard Print also got busy with her sisters, and even opened the cover and climbed to the roof. The women could only clean up and cook. Soon it got dark, but they heard the roar.
With a bang, a raging fire suddenly broke out outside.
"It's on fire! Everyone, come out quickly..."
The women screamed and ran out of the classroom. Unexpectedly, fires were ignited in the wasteland on three sides, but it was obviously deliberately released. The men also dug fire trenches, pulled thin iron wires on the campus walls, and installed them.
Empty cans that buzz when touched.
"Awesome! With such a big fire, the monsters will definitely not dare to come near..."
The women were all lying on the guardrail and were excited. The fire burned all the surrounding weeds. Not only did the field of vision become wider, but the lighting problem was also solved. Moreover, the invisible man had to leave a trail when he stepped on the charred land.
footprint.
"Boom~"
Two houses on the left and right also burned. Zhao Guanren and the others were all experienced arsonists. They didn't care whether it would cause a bigger wildfire, as long as the darkness could be dispersed. Although the fireworks were a bit pungent, they could endure it for a while.
It's over.
"Move the table and block the corridor..."
Zhao Guanren led a group of men back and moved the desks into the corridors at both ends to block them. They could move freely on the second and third floors. Lin Tao also led people to pour flour and liquid containing fluorescent agents, covering the playground in front and behind.
It was sprinkled all over.
"Everyone, please feel free to eat. The fire is so strong that we won't be able to come for a while..."
Zhao Guanren walked into a classroom in disgrace. Women were rushing to bring him bowls and water. No one dared to live separately anymore. The four classrooms on the third floor were all covered with cardboard, so sleeping together would make you feel safe.
, no one wants to die inexplicably again.
…
Time passed by. Except for the people on guard on the roof, everyone did not dare to go out after eating. They all sat in the classroom and talked in low voices. No one was even playing cards. Everyone was there.
Waiting for something unknown to appear.
"Ring ring ring..."
suddenly!
A piercing bell rang, like a boulder dropped on a calm lake. The men and women were frightened and screamed. But when they rushed outside the house in panic, they discovered that the school bell was actually ringing, and there was also a bell ringing downstairs.
Dense footsteps...
