Chapter 21 Scarlet as Blood

Just after telling the two of them to shut up, Qin Shuying immediately frowned slightly and said:

"It's not impossible! The combination of neurotoxins and some physical effects"

Just as he was talking, there was suddenly a "dit beep beep beep beep" sound, just like the sound of a mobile phone automatically shutting down when it ran out of battery.

The three of them took out their mobile phones in their pockets together.

However, their mobile phones are all working normally except for no signal.

"There are people, or corpses, nearby!"

Yun Qianfeng immediately concluded.

Then he stood up, jumped up on the spot and looked around.

"Over there!"

The three people squeezed through the dense vegetation and soon came to a large banyan tree no less than three meters in diameter.

The leafy banyan tree blocks out the sky and the sun, and its countless aerial roots are like long hairs, stretching out from the branches and swaying in the wind.

The corpse was sitting with its back against the big banyan tree. There was an intercom with a broken screen next to it. It was probably this intercom that made the shutdown sound just now.

The clothes on this corpse were the same as those of the previous mummies, and they all showed signs of fleeing for their lives.

"Another mummy!"

"Same smile!"

"This is a man, Miss Qin, do you think it can also be a physical effect?"

"The same principle, but more direct."

The same procedure, the same result, something still penetrated all the holes, causing rapid dehydration inside and forming mummies.

But there are differences.

Qin Shuying pointed at the skin of the mummy and said:

"This corpse died much earlier than the previous mummy. You can see that his skin and internal organs have been extensively affected by moisture and fester, and the corpse smell is obvious. Judging from the temperature and humidity here, the time of death should be about two months."

Jiang Roujia endured her nausea and carefully observed the mummy. When she was sure it was not Jiang Yulin, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Shuying thought:

"I still remember Meng Rao said that there were two waves of people entering the jungle before us, one was Jiang Yulin and the others two months ago, and the other was a few days ago. These two mummies probably belong to this group.

Two teams.”

Yun Qianfeng said in a deep voice:

"This is not the key, the key is that they all encountered the same danger!"

Qin Shuying and Jiang Roujia were both shocked.

Because this means that they will almost certainly encounter the same crisis.

They couldn't imagine how terrible it would be to become such a mummy, especially those invisible scars, which made their scalp numb just thinking about it.

"Let's get out of here quickly!"

Yun Qianfeng looked at the setting sun that had submerged into the mountainside, slowly shook his head and said:

"It's too late. It's going to be dark soon. We can't go far. We have to find a way to hide. Come with me!"

As he spoke, he strode towards the triangular stone cave, with the two women following closely behind, almost jogging to keep up.

Returning to the Triangle Stone Cave, Yun Qianfeng first put away the map stuck on the stone wall and put it on the waterproof layer of his backpack, then put away a notebook placed on the stone, then pointed to the traces on the ground and said:

"Look at these rotten and moldy sleeping bags, the zippers on them are torn and cracked, which proves that these people were preparing to sleep when they escaped, which means that the danger must have occurred at night.

Looking at the scattered charcoal from the campfire, they are all scattered into the cave from the direction of the cave entrance. This shows that the danger comes from the cave entrance with the campfire. If ordinary wild beasts are afraid of fire at night, then they should sneak attack from the cave entrance at the back.

People should escape from the hole on the side of the bonfire, but here it is the opposite, which proves that this danger is not afraid of fire.

The two groups before and after both escaped from the cave without a bonfire guard. This means that when the two groups encountered danger, they came from the direction of the bonfire at the main entrance. Therefore, I suspect that the source of this danger is not only a lack of fear of fire, but also

Tendency to light.”

Qin Shuying nodded and said:

"In other words, as long as we don't light a bonfire and turn off the solar lights, there is a high probability that we will not attract the source of danger."

Unexpectedly, Yun Qianfeng slowly shook his head and said:

"No, we need to build a big bonfire!"

Just as he was told, Yun Qianfeng immediately began to collect dry firewood, apparently preparing to race against time to light the bonfire before dark.

Jiang Roujia was a little confused and whispered to Qin Shuying:

"What's wrong with Yun Qianfeng? I guess the danger is phototactic. Do you want to build a bonfire and commit suicide?"

Yun Qianfeng returned to the cave entrance with a large bundle of dry firewood and said to Qin Shuying and Jiang Roujia:

"You two go cut down some branches with lush green leaves and collect them at the foot of the hillside. Be careful of the poisonous snakes in the plants. Don't get bitten. You have to be fast!"

Qin Shuying and Jiang Roujia didn't know what Yun Qianfeng wanted to do, but they believed that Yun Qianfeng was neither anti-intellectual nor crazy. There must be a reason, so they hurried to work.

The bonfire was very large, occupying almost one-third of the cave entrance. In order to keep the bonfire burning, Yun Qianfeng deliberately placed some rough wood that was rich in grease but not completely dry.

Then he took down the solar lamp and the solar panel, placed it under a big tree thirty meters away from the triangular stone cave, rearranged it, and turned on the light.

Then, in a position without backlighting, two small cameras with external sound playback were placed slightly away from the campfire and solar lights. Yun Qianfeng set up a portable router in a hidden position between the two cameras and the tent.

Use LAN to connect the mobile phone and camera.

Finally, the three people's coats were placed on a tree where there was no light.

After finishing all this, he carried his sleeping bag and tent to the foot of the hillside where the two women had placed their branches, quickly set up the tent, and then tightly covered the tent with the branches with dense green leaves.

After everything was completed, Yun Qianfeng looked at the darkening sky and said to the two women:

"Go farther to the toilet and then enter the tent. There is a high probability that we will not get out of the tent again this night. If we don't clean up, we will have to deal with it in the tent."

The two women hurriedly ran to a backlit stone far away from the tent to relieve themselves.

Everything was ready, and the three of them got into the tent. Yun Qianfeng stretched his hand out of the zipper, moved the branches to cover the entrance of the tent as completely as possible, then closed the zipper and whispered:

"Don't ask why, you can survive. I will explain to you tomorrow. From now on, we don't talk, don't make any noise, keep quiet, and sleep when we are tired."

Jiang Roujia pointed to her belly, indicating that she hadn't eaten dinner.

Yun Qianfeng whispered:

"Do you want to eat and drink? Just endure it all night!"

As night falls, the dense jungle turns dark almost instantly.

Everything is so quiet that even a cricket beating on the grass blades can be heard clearly.

Such a quiet environment made the three of them involuntarily breathe softly and use their ears to follow the world outside the tent.

Yun Qianfeng held the mobile phone in his hand and stared at the dark screen above.

Time passed by minute by second, and the atmosphere we saw during the day and now was tense. The two women were not sleepy at all. They lay on both sides of Yun Qianfeng, staring at the dark screen together in a daze.

This tent was too small, and it was a bit cramped for two people to sleep in. With three people lying inside, almost half of Qin Shuying and Jiang Roujia's bodies were pressed against Yun Qianfeng.

I don’t know how long it took, but just as the three people’s eyelids were growing heavy, a strange sound suddenly came from the speaker of the mobile phone that made people feel chills all over. It was indescribable, just like the ghost cry of “woo woo” in a Chinese fairy tale movie.

Yun Qianfeng hurriedly turned his cell phone to silent.

Immediately afterwards, the dark and still picture on the mobile phone screen changed. It was the halo of light that was shaken by the bonfire being blown by something. This was the real-time picture taken by the camera Yun Qianfeng placed beside the bonfire.

Almost at the same time, a pale white face floated in the screen of the mobile phone, half smiling but not smiling. The eyes were like two curved thin lines, the cheeks were as white as if they had been shaved off, and the cherry lips were as scarlet as blood.

The background of the video is pure black at night, with the dark red glow of a bonfire swaying on one side. Against this white face, it looks like a ghost from hell has appeared.

The strange face fluttered across the screen, and then another strange face appeared. I don’t know how many such terrifying things there are.

The moment the three people saw that strange face, they almost simultaneously covered their mouths with their hands to prevent themselves from screaming out of fear.

"That's a ghost! It must be a ghost!"
