If I hadn't asked about the location in detail, I guess it would be impossible for me to find the ancient well.
Because it's been too long without people. The ancient well has been covered by thick fallen leaves. Turned into a trap-like existence. It took me a while to get the well head out.
The sun is good today, and I can clearly see the situation at the bottom of the well. As the boss said, the bottom of the well is dry and cracked loess, and there is nothing the same.
However, I felt something was wrong. The surrounding leaves were piled up, and there was a lot of water below. The bottom of the well was obviously the lowest, but it was so dry, which was unreasonable.
I thought of what the boss said, many people disappeared immediately after going down the ancient well. I was a little hesitant, wondering if I should go down and have a look.
While hesitating, my phone rang. I picked it up and looked at it, and I was stunned.
The name that appeared on the phone was Huang Qichao, whom I believed to be missing.
I frowned and picked up the phone.
Huang Qichao's voice came from the phone.
"Wu Rui, where are you? Everyone is waiting for you at the hotel. Hurry up and gather in the lobby."
I said "hmm" casually and hung up the phone. I felt that my mind was a little messed up, and Huang Qichao's appearance interrupted all my thoughts.
I didn't get entangled in Gujing, but got up and returned to the hotel. If Gujing is the source, I still hope to learn more about the situation before making a decision.
After all, my mission is zombies, and when it is determined that this world is not the real world I want, my patience is slowly being worn away.
Soon, back at the hotel, Huang Qichao was walking back and forth at the gate, looking at his watch from time to time. After seeing me, he showed a happy expression.
"You are finally here, we are going to a scenic spot, and we are waiting for you."
I looked Huang Qichao up and down, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, I asked, "What scenic spot?"
"Xijiaoxi, the name doesn't sound good, but it is said to be very interesting and the scenery is not bad. Let's go."
Huang Qichao started to turn around and call for people, and his colleagues came out one by one, all looking very happy, as if nothing happened at all.
The so-called Xijiaoxi River is not far away, and after walking for about half an hour, we arrived at our destination. As Huang Qichao said, the scenery here is really good.
On one side is an antique building, on the other side is a dense mountain, and a clear stream 6 or 7 meters wide flows through it. On the stream just below the ankles, there are many tables and chairs, and many people are already playing cards while stretching their feet in the water and stirring them constantly.
Occasionally, small fish the size of a thumb can be seen, avoiding pairs of big feet and swimming downstream.
"Is this place nice?" Huang Qichao stretched his waist: "Let's go."
Colleagues seemed very excited, one by one ran towards Xijiao Creek like wild horses running wild.
At this moment, I even had an illusion, as if what happened that night really didn't happen, and everything was just my own dream.
"What are you thinking, go on. Alas, it's a pity that the water is shallow, and I can't see the bikini."
Daniel patted my shoulder, pretending to sigh. I looked at Daniel and asked tentatively: "It was foggy that day..."
"Fog, what's wrong with the fog?" Daniu gave me a strange look, and then complained: "You too, I asked you to go with everyone, but you were still lost. We didn't see you when we returned to the hotel, and we were scared." I'm confused, I want to go out to find you, but the fog is really too big. I didn't find the hotel until dawn, I was convinced, you are blind."
The big cow croaked a lot, then let out a strange cry, and rushed towards the creek.
There was a helpless smile on the corner of my mouth, it turned out that I was the one who got lost in the fog. This weird world, weird fog.
I took off my shoes and stepped into the water. The water was cool but not harsh, which made people feel very comfortable.
I delayed for some time, and my colleagues had already divided into two groups, and most of them started playing cards and splashing in the water. A small number of people walked upstream.
I ignored it, found an unoccupied sun lounger, and lay down. I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time. Empty your mind, your feet sway unconsciously with the water. Before I knew it, I just fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but I was awakened by the conversation around me. I sat up and saw that the explorer had returned and was chatting about his experiences.
Not far in front of Xijiao Creek is a huge cave, and the stream flows out of the cave, so it can be kept so clear.
The expedition colleagues entered the cave and walked a long way without finding the end. Because I was not prepared, it was already too dark to see the road. Worrying about accidents, I returned.
The water in the cave is much deeper than here, but it can only submerge to the knees. However, the water has not been irradiated by the sun, and it is a bit cold. The further you go inside, the colder it becomes.
According to the locals, the hole is so deep that there is no bottom at all, and if you walk inside and put on a cotton coat, you will be unbearably cold. There will even be ice cubes.
This last sentence was refuted by everyone. Immediately, the discussion became louder.
The result of the debate is to go again. Many people started to take coats and flashlights. Although they don't believe in freezing, everyone knows that the temperature in the deep cave is very low.
I also stood up, I don't know what's in the deep hole, but I saw on TV before that zombies are always hiding in the hole.
But I didn't go with them, but took advantage of them to set off first.
The cave is not far away, but it is indeed huge, about 6 meters wide. With the help of outside light, the smooth and wet mountain walls around the cave can be seen.
Without hesitation, I walked in directly.
The stream water has been slowly rising, and the temperature has dropped a lot. Soon the light outside the hole could no longer provide enough brightness. I also understand why colleagues returned. It's too dark here, and there is an icy stream below. If there is a deep pit or something, I guess I will explain it directly.
As I walked forward, the cave began to narrow slowly, and the stream had reached my thigh. Now I have some doubts whether there will be zombies in this hole. After all, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the water will be even deeper in the future.
I don't think zombies are soaking in water.
But I have reached this position, and I have not given up. I have to go to nowhere before I can make a final judgment.
What I didn't expect was that when the water exceeded the lower abdomen, it began to slowly become shallower. Quickly back to just knee-deep.
Going further inside, whether it will become deeper or shallower, I was thinking, when suddenly a hard object hit my calf.
