Chapter 327: Pause Forward(1/2)
Dr. Du made a single dog-like resentful eye attack. Heaven is above, I just want to follow the large army!
When we go to the city center, follow the route of Wang Le and Gu. If we are lucky, we may be able to pick up their bodies halfway.
Of course, I didn't say this idea. Dr. Du and Huang Zaijiang thought they could find the "normal" Wang Le, but I didn't have such hope.
Chen Qinghan thought for ten minutes before he decided to go to the city center. He said that the situation in the ancient city was more complicated than he had thought before, and even if we looked back, we would probably not be able to get out.
Huang Zaijiang wanted to save Wang Le, but he was also curious, or if he didn't believe it, we couldn't get out.
He said we had just walked back to the city wall and had no resistance. If we wanted to leave, we could go out at that time.
Chen Qinghan said that if the purpose of the cowboy hat was to lead us to the city center, when we refused, he would not stop him and not even try to persuade him, which was strange.
At that time, we did not doubt his motivation, so we felt that nothing was wrong. Now that we have new assumptions, his reaction cannot be explained.
"You think he's sure we can't get out?" Mike asked.
"He knows the ancient city, but does he know if there are cracks under the city wall? A person who wants to go out always has to try to go down and see if it leads to the outside." Dr. Du told Chen Qinghan the key points he had doubts.
In terms of time, the cowboy hat stayed in the ancient city much longer than us. Maybe when the ancient city was still underground, he knew the existence of the transportation line.
If this is the case, if we don’t stop the cowboy hat, we will let us leave. Isn’t it a bit abnormal?
Unless he knows, we will definitely not be able to get out, and we will have to come back after a long walk.
However, Mike didn't believe what Chen Qinghan said, thinking that he was too suspicious and had too many twists in his mind, so he just walked around himself.
What is the truth of the matter? Maybe we will reveal it when we arrive in the city center.
But instead of turning back to the cowboy hat, we walked along the footsteps of Wang Le and Gu, hoping to find them both.
After walking for about ten minutes, fog suddenly appeared in the city. Chen Qinghan and I were quite familiar with the fog. The fog rose and the evil spirits came out!
Chen Qinghan asked us to get closer, so it is best to keep our hands on the distance from each other. Of course, it is okay to grab our backpacks.
"Professor Chen, why don't we find a place to rest and wait until the fog is gone before leaving." Huang Zaijiang said with some concern.
After the heavy rain, the sky was still as dark as the bottom of the pot, with no signs of clearing.
At this time, there was fog in the city again, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed. It felt like a black cloth was on its head and a layer of white gauze was covered in front of it. Chen Qinghan, who was on the head, deliberately slowed down, afraid that the people behind him would not be able to keep up.
"What's up?"
I was walking, looking at the buildings on the left and right to prevent anything from suddenly jumping out to attack the team. Dr. Du, who was walking in front of me, suddenly turned his head and asked.
"ah?"
"Didn't you call me just now? Is there something wrong?"
"I didn't call you." I didn't even make a syllable, nor did I hear any other sound.
"That... I might have heard it wrong." Dr. Du turned around, but his brows were frowning tightly.
After walking a while, before the end of the street, Dr. Du turned around and his eyes first stopped on my face, then looked around.
I was confused by her behavior, and I followed her to look left and right, asking, "What are you looking for?"
This time she was moving a lot. When the people in front heard the sound, Chen Qinghan stopped first, and Mike and Huang Zaijiang behind him stopped together.
"What's wrong?" Huang Zai asked immediately.
"Did you see anything?" Dr. Du didn't reply to his words, but looked at me and asked.
"No." The distance between Dr. Du and me was just a backpack, and I walked almost against the backpack behind her.
Her eyes looked back and forth in this small area between us. With such a small space, there was nothing at a glance that even a mouse could not hide it.
"What did you hear? Or did you see something?" Huang Zaijiang was quite impatient and continued to ask questions when he saw that Dr. Du did not reply to his words.
"For the first time, I heard Xiao Leng calling me from behind; for the second time, not only called me, but also patted my shoulder." After Dr. Du said, the others' eyes saluted me in one go.
"I don't." I shook my head and looked at Dr. Du's backpack.
Some of the things in her backpack have been used up, so the bag is deflated. You can tell whether there is anything else at a glance, and this little space cannot be hidden.
"Are you sure it's not an hallucination?" Mike came again, "we didn't hear any sound."
"The distance is very close, and I screamed against the back of my head." Dr. Du said with a strange expression.
Normal people should not talk to others close to the back of their heads. Either they have secrets and are not convenient to be heard by others, or they deliberately want to scare the people in front of them.
These two possibilities are not true between me and Dr. Du. I have nothing to say about her and I, and it is impossible to scare her in such an environment.
"Did Xiaofu hear it?" Chen Qinghan asked me.
"No, no one." I shrugged.
If we are so close, if we can still put someone in the middle, it can only be a photo.
"Be careful, the hallucination is coming." Mike reminded seriously.
But when he said this, I smiled a little. When the wolf comes, you can prepare for the battle. What should I do if the hallucinations come? Will I blow my head?
Chen Qinghan decided to stop moving forward for the time being. We retreated into a building on the street. The space that was too large would be unsafe. Because we had few people and were difficult to defend, Chen Qinghan chose a small house.
In the middle of a tall building, it is like a child, with stone shelves on the walls of the house and a counter.
This small house may be similar to the "console". There are doors in front and back, but only windows next to the front door.
There is a corridor in the middle of the front and back doors, and the people guarding the door can see each other. Chen Qinghan arranged for Mike to guard the front door and I guard the back door.
Dr. Du, who had just had an "illusion", was resting in the house. Although Chen Qinghan did not say it clearly, his words to comfort Dr. Du were implicitly that she did not have an "illusion".
In other words, Chen Qinghan did not think that the sounds that Dr. Du heard and the touch that was photographed were hallucinations.
Because it was not an illusion, there might be danger in the fog. This is how Chen Qinghan thought about it and called us into the house to stay.
Chen Qinghan didn't speak to Dr. Du in foreign languages. Mike didn't quite understand Chinese with "hidden meaning", otherwise he would have a dispute with Chen Qinghan again. He now determined that some of us had begun to have hallucinations.
Their team was almost wiped out due to hallucinations last time. His psychological shadow area was probably covered by the entire soul. If there was no strong evidence in front of him, he would not believe Chen Qinghan.
At this time, I heard something outside the back door, so I quietly approached the door and gestured at Chen Qinghan, telling them not to speak for now.
The room quickly became quiet. I quietly moved outside the door with a hook and stick. The door panel at the back door had decayed and there was only one door hole left, so someone needed to guard it.
I took out the door. The alley behind was very narrow, maybe a place where debris and garbage were piled up. At the dead corner at the end of the alley, a man squatted on the ground with his back facing me, his shoulders twitched slightly, his head sank and sank, and his mouth made a chewing sound of eating hard.
Although I can't see this person's face, I recognize the clothes on him and the background is familiar. We line up every day, and I am familiar with the backs of everyone in the queue.
"Wang Le?!" I called out the man's name, and he paused, and it seemed that he had heard me call him.
He slowly turned his head and his body came to his side. His eyes were covered with blood, his mouth was covered with stains, and he was holding a bunch of wriggling bugs in his hand. Obviously, these things were just chewing.
He had hidden half a bottle of water on the road before, and now he is eating insects alive. When we separated, the food in his backpack was enough to last for a few days. It was not long before, why did he lose ammunition and food?
"Wang Le?" Huang Zaijiang heard my name from the room and jumped out a few steps. Seeing Wang Le's appearance, he hurried forward and knocked out the handful of insects.
"Old Huang, what are you doing? The roasted sea cucumber that I finally grabbed after snatching it!" Wang Le was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he said anxiously.
"Are you crazy? What is this?" Huang Zaijiang stepped on the insects on the ground and crushed them twice.
"Ah-you're crazy, you're wasted your talent!"
Huang Zaijiang grabbed Wang Le and shook him hard, probably hoping to wake him up.
But Wang Le easily broke free from Huang Zaijiang's hand. After all, the latter can use one hand to force it, so it is easy to break free.
"Why are you here? All the delicious foods are snatched up." Wang Le finally focused on us without mentioning the sea cucumbers.
"Where is there any delicious food? Come in quickly." Huang Zaijiang pulled him into the hut, calling Dr. Du as he walked.
Huang Zaijiang asked Dr. Du to check Wang Le quickly, saying that he had just eaten insects outside and said that it was sea cucumbers.
Dr. Du took out her needle, pricked Wang Le's head a few times, and then a few more shots elsewhere. After a few minutes, Dr. Du pulled out the needle, and Wang Le immediately rushed out of the hut and vomited wildly at the base of the wall in the back alley.
It seemed that he wanted to vomit all his stomach. Dr. Du explained that he was afraid that he would be poisoned by food after eating unclean food, so he induced him to vomit.
The more Wang Le vomited, the more fierce he became. Dr. Du was a little worried, so he went out to check the situation.
After a while, she helped Wang Le back. Wang Le's face looked particularly ugly. Huang Zaijiang handed him food. He waved his hands repeatedly and only drank a few sips of water.
"It's okay, I feel disgusted twice when I see what I vomit." Dr. Du said.
Being able to see what you vomit clearly means that your consciousness has recovered and you no longer use insects as sea cucumbers for nourishment.
"What's going on?" Wang Le slowed down for a long time before speaking.
"We should ask you, Brother Gu? You two are not staying in the stone house, and you run out without leaving a mark. What's the matter?" Huang Zaijiang said a long string of words like a machine gun.
"What's the situation? We followed you to the city center. Professor Chen asked me to keep some water and food along the way. Then we met another team. They were so comfortable here. There was..." Wang Le suddenly stuck as he said, his eyes were frightened and a little confused. "The food is fake, that person..."
Huang Zaijiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, I'm not stupid."
"That's your illusion." Mike twitched.
Wang Le's eyes changed, he stared at us nervously, his eyes widened, and he looked at our faces carefully.
"Doctor Du has given you an injection, but what you see now is not hallucinations." Huang Zaijiang said helplessly.
"That's not necessarily true. Is the needle acupuncture true?" Wang Le shook his head, "I think it's true when you came back before."
"How much? Will you feel pain when you beat you?" Huang Zaijiang said, punching Wang Le twice on his shoulder.
I saw that he was using his finger joints to attack him. Although these two strokes would not be hurt, they must be very painful.
