Chapter 440 Scream(1/2)
"wrong."
Yan Shiwen stood on the spot, turning his feet, and his eyes slowly swept around, not missing a tree or a stone.
His sudden exclamation startled Lin Hao.
"Lao Yan, what are you doing? Don't scare people, okay?"
Yan Shiwen ignored him and walked quickly to a big tree on the left. After turning around twice, his expression changed slightly and he said, "We have indeed been staying where we are."
"impossible……"
Lin Hao waved his hand before speaking, but was interrupted by him. He pointed to a big tree on the left and said, "Look first."
Lin Hao took a look and said inexplicably: "What are you looking at? A tree? What's there to see?"
"Did I get knocked down by a quagmire when I came here just now?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Have you forgotten? We rested in a place for a while before. At that time, I was covered in mud and rested under a tree. Look,"
Yan Shiwen pointed to the big tree and said: "This tree is still stained with mud, and there are also my fingerprints."
When Lin Hao heard this, he immediately ran over, lay down on the tree, stretched out his hands to pull at it, and sure enough he saw a large mud stain on the trunk of the tree where two or three people were hugging each other.
It was left by Yan Shiwen's back just now, and there was also a mud fingerprint. Lin Hao grabbed Yan Shiwen's hand and pressed it up. Sure enough, it was the same size, it was his hand.
"How...how could this happen?"
Lin Hao turned his head and looked around as if he had seen a ghost.
"But the place where we just rested is obviously not like this. I remember that there is a small river opposite this tree. Yes, there is a river! This is definitely not the original place."
Lin Hao said with certainty.
"It should be...the direction...is wrong, the position is wrong."
Lin Xie beside him said weakly.
Lin Hao frowned: "What do you mean?"
"It's just that the front, back, left, and right are all upside down."
Yan Shiwen explained through the interface.
"The route we took was a straight line. This tree used to be on the right, but now it appears on the left."
"Also, if you look carefully, the positions of other things have also changed, and they may not appear in the opposite direction,"
Yan Shiwen said in a deep voice: "At that time, the river was about a hundred meters away from the tree. The river flowed through the tree. If it really changed its position and direction, it might not be visible, but it should be able to move at the same time.
Within the range, find the river.”
"I'll go take a look!"
Lin Hao said something and ran out.
"Be careful!"
Yan Shiwen wanted to hold him back, but was a step too late and he had already jumped out.
"It really does!"
Not long after, Lin Hao's shouts came from the front, making him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Holy shit! The river has gone ahead!"
Lin Hao hurried back, looking like he had seen a ghost.
His words also made everyone change their colors.
Kong Sisi couldn't help but move closer to Chen Qingqing, and said a little scared: "We won't run into ghosts and hit the wall, right? The information given to us by the college said that this place is not far from a dangerous place, and there may be wandering ghosts.
...Wouldn't it be possible for us to bump into each other..."
Even if they have become awakened people, they will still be afraid of this kind of thing.
After all, although the name has been changed, in essence, it is still the same as the dirty things in the past, making people instinctively afraid.
Kong Sisi came into contact with the world of awakened species earlier than anyone here, but she was also a young girl with no real experience. She was no better than the others because she knew more and was even less courageous than the others.
Yan Shiwen stood up and reassured: "Don't worry, everyone. The rat just ran out and will come back soon, right? It proves that this is not as terrible as we thought. No matter how bad the result is, we can try to mark the whole way. Since I
If you can leave mud prints on trees, you can mark other places, and you can always find a way out."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. This place is a slut."
Chen Qingqing said coldly.
Yan Shiwen sighed secretly.
What didn't he expect? He just wanted to comfort everyone and calm down the morale of the army. This is fine.
Sure enough, Kong Sisi was even more frightened and started to cry: "The information provided by the college said that a C-level awakened person has died from being trapped in a trap..."
"Stop crying."
Chen Qingqing said coldly: "Our trial mission is to investigate Liwu Village. Liwu Village is in chaos. Since the academy wants us to come, it will not deliberately let us die. What are you afraid of?"
Although her voice was cold, it was actually comforting. It was not as cold as she appeared, as if she didn't care about anything.
"Classmate Chen is right, the college will not assign us tasks that require death,"
Yan Shiwen said: "However, for everyone's safety, it is best for us not to be separated from now on, and no one should be too far away."
Having said this, he turned around and glared at Lin Hao fiercely.
What this kid did by running out just now was obviously causing trouble.
"Also, just in case, everyone leaves marks where they pass."
Although Chen Qingqing didn't say anything, she acquiesced to his words.
Naturally, other people have no objections.
Under his calmness, he was also affected by it and was not so panicked.
However, this calmness disappeared after a few hours.
What was originally a trace of panic turned into intense anxiety and fear.
The five people once again saw the big tree with mud stains, and this time, it was just right, as it was the tenth time they returned to this place.
Not only this big tree, but other trees, rocks, and even the ground are covered with the marks they left.
"It's over..."
Kong Sisi couldn't bear it anymore, her legs gave out, and she collapsed on the ground.
She has reached her limit, both physically and mentally.
"How could they do this? How could they let us come to such a terrible place..."
She collapsed on the ground, crying and cursing.
The others were not much better. Lin Hao, who was always startled, could not scream now.
Yan Shiwen, who has always been calm, also showed a hint of anxiety on his face.
Although Chen Qingqing was still cold, her chest was heaving and she was breathing heavily, and she was obviously not feeling well.
On the other hand, Li Xie has always had no sense of existence, and others don't pay much attention to him, and even look down on him, which is a bit surprising.
At this time, although he was still shrinking submissively, he couldn't see any change.
"I'm not leaving! Damn!"
Lin Hao kicked a stone away angrily and sat down on the ground.
"If this continues, let alone whether it's weird or not, we will be exhausted ourselves."
"Okay, let's take a rest first and let's think of a solution together."
Yan Shiwen let out a long breath and said.
Strangely enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone fell silent, and Kong Sisi stopped sobbing.
They each found a place to sit down and rest in silence.
On the other hand, Chen Qingqing glanced at him thoughtfully and then looked away.
For a moment, there was only the heavy breathing of a few people in the dead silence of the forest.
"ah--!"
Not long after, a sharp cry suddenly broke through the dead silence of the forest.
The five silent people were shocked.
Yan Shiwen and Chen Qingqing stood up at the same time, noticing each other's movements and looking at each other again, and both could see the joy in each other's eyes.
What they fear most is this endless, ever-changing cycle.
But a scream that had never appeared before broke this cycle of death.
To be continued...
