Boy friend
Tangning didn't expect that he would bring his partner with him again this time. He also wanted to know the questions the other party asked. The driver was dead, what would happen to the people in the car? When could they return home
Call the police? Take a taxi? Ask friends or family to pick you up
But the place where the car was parked was deserted and surrounded by mountains. She didn't know if she could get a car. Just as Tangning was struggling with how to respond to her boyfriend, he came to the side and complained, "What should we do? There's no signal here and we can't make calls. Are we going to be trapped here overnight?"
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment. He checked his phone and it showed no signal. However, he did receive a message from Geng Xi. Did Geng Xi send the message before the message disappeared
If it was during this period when there was no signal, then what was sending him messages
A subtle chill crept up Tang Ning's spine, causing him to feel cold all over.
At this time, Du Feng, who had finally regained his composure, explained, "Because the poisonous qi overwhelmed the human qi, it couldn't smell anything, and it had its back to us, so there was nothing to stimulate it."
This obviously refers to the driver who turned into a zombie, but what about the poisonous qi
"Is it a worm-dish Gu?" Tang Ning asked subconsciously. After asking, he realized that he asked the wrong question. Du Feng was illiterate and didn't understand the example he gave.
"Yes." Du Feng nodded, contrary to Tang Ning's expectations.
If it was Gu Qi, it could only have come from Du Feng.
Tang Ning discovered that Du Feng was sitting in the first seat behind the driver's seat. It should be Du Feng who resolved the crisis this time.
"So what should we do next? Should we get out of the car and walk? Or is there anyone who can drive such a big car?" Someone asked, as they didn't want to spend the first night in the wilderness.
"I will." Lin Yun stood up and walked to the driver's body. He frowned and asked, "How should we deal with this?"
Everyone looked at Du Feng, and Du Feng said, "It cannot be placed in the car, nor thrown in the mountains. It belongs to you, and its soul must return to its hometown after death."
Du Feng pronounced the somewhat literary phrase "returning to one's hometown" accurately and clearly, just like when he said the word "gu" just now, his pronunciation was exceptionally standard.
He said in a clear and precise voice: "Let's drive the corpse away."
Tangning had heard of corpse-driving before, but she had never seen it in action. Du Feng did not waver when he saw Tangning's curious eyes. He said seriously, "I've already told you the rules. You are not allowed to film or watch the corpse-driving."
Du Feng said this, and Tangning took note of their involvement. The system said that they were going to Xiangxi to film a show, and it was likely that the people from the show had asked Du Feng similar questions before.
Du Feng got out of the car with the driver's body and fiddled with it alone. The players abided by the agreement and did not look. Now the players just wanted to survive and did not have much desire to explore these things.
There was no signal and it was impossible to create a group, so Da took advantage of Du Feng's absence to chat face to face.
"My name is Chen Yan, and I'm the photographer for this program." A man in a black T-shirt said, "I think maybe we provoked something or violated some taboo during our trip to Xiangxi, which has caused us to have a hard time surviving for the next week. Instead of being confused, why not review what we filmed and see if we can find any clues."
Another player named Huang Shen retorted: "How do you know if this video has a curse? What if something happens to you after watching it like Sadako's video?"
Huang Shen's tone was not polite. After all, they were now like playing Minesweeper, and no one knew which step would lead to a landmine. If most people acted according to their personalities, then the video would definitely have to be watched by the person with the photography card. Now Chen Yan suddenly proposed this suggestion, perhaps with the intention of sharing the risk.
"The first person to die was the driver." Lin Yun said calmly: "Why did the driver die? If he died after getting in the car, then the biggest difference between him and us is that he was sitting in the driver's seat."
Having said that, everyone looked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun said calmly: "I did such a risky thing by myself, it would be unreasonable not to get some compensation, right?"
This time no one raised any objections. The players each took out something to give to Lin Yun as compensation. They could use these props while Lin Yun was driving. When it was Tang Ning's turn, she took out a belt from her red wedding dress from her backpack.
It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Thinking that the red belt almost made him unable to breathe, Tang Ning volunteered to help Lin Yun tie it.
Seeing Tangning's expression, Lin Yun helplessly spread out her arms, exposing her waist, "Tie it."
Du Feng stepped into the car, and the tassels on his waist chain and shoulder ornaments made pleasant sounds. From his angle, he could not see the red belt at first glance. He could only see Tang Ning standing in front of Lin Yun, stretching out her arms as if to hug Lin Yun's waist.
"What are you doing?" Du Feng asked.
A chill ran up from the soles of Lin Yun's feet. Lin Yun resisted the urge to slide down and said cautiously under Du Feng's gaze: "Today is my birthday, so let's put on some red and festive colors."
Du Feng, who didn't understand this, narrowed his eyes and almost caught a glimpse of the red on Tang Ning's face. The red made Tang Ning's skin look even more beautiful, as white as snow.
He walked over to Tang Ning and saw ten white fingers entangled with a red ribbon, and the fingertips seemed to be stained with a light red.
Due to her frail body, Tang Ning couldn't do much. Even though she was trying hard to strangle Lin Yun, it still didn't hurt Lin Yun. This made Tang Ning think of phrases like "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water".
When Tang Ning was about to give up, a person tied with a cloth belt took over the red belt, pulled it to the tightest position, and tied a knot without mercy.
It was Du Feng who moved it.
Lin Yun gasped, her facial expression completely out of control. Seeing Lin Yun's frustration, Tang Ning couldn't help but smile at Du Feng. She smiled like a little fox that had stolen honey, and her thick eyelashes couldn't cover up the tiny light in her eyes.
Du Feng once again stared at Tang Ning without blinking, as if his gaze was captivated by Tang Ning's smile.
Lin Yun, who was gasping for breath, also saw this smile. He sighed resignedly and turned to the driver's seat.
The car started.
Because it was not convenient for Tang Ning to take off his inner clothes, he put on his red wedding dress and looked out the window. There was not much life on the desolate mountain. Although the soil and stones were covered with dark green, this green only made people feel cold. Some mountains would have some earthen houses, but the most common thing on this mountain was tombs.
Tang Ning saw from a distance that there was a stiff shadow standing at the edge of the overgrown dirt road. It was the dead driver. He was walking slowly with his head down. Each step was extremely stiff, reminding people of a rusty machine.
The bus was driving fast and immediately got rid of the body.
Tangning looked at Du Feng who was standing beside him. Before he could ask anything, Du Feng had guessed his confusion and took the initiative to explain, "It will catch up on its own."
Tang Ning nodded and looked out the window again. It was already getting dark and it would probably be completely dark in another two hours.
Although Lin Yun was a good driver, driving on the mountain road still made Tang Ning dizzy. He pressed his forehead against the car window, and his head kept hitting the glass, making a banging sound. Tang Ning leaned back in the seat uncomfortably, closing his eyes to conserve his strength. The biggest thought in his mind was to drive the car out as soon as possible.
Although Tang Ning didn't seem to do anything, enduring the nausea caused by motion sickness and maintaining his insignificant dignity had already drained most of his energy.
In the real world, Tang Ning also suffered from motion sickness when he went to Xiaohei Mountain, but at that time, Shadow was always taking care of him.
Tang Ning missed Shadow.
He touched the wedding dress and closed his eyes, enduring the long and torturous feeling of dizziness and nausea.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Ning opened his eyes and looked out the window again. It was even darker. The barren mountains looked even more desolate in the dim light. In the gloom, Tang Ning saw a stiff figure standing on the side of the road. It was probably the driver of the corpse, and there seemed to be another dark shadow following it.
Tang Ning blinked his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things, otherwise how could he have seen two bodies standing on the side of the road
He wanted to take another look, but the car quickly left the body on the roadside.
As the sky darkened, the temperature also dropped. Even with the car windows closed, a chill seeped in. Tang Ning was so cold that she wrapped herself tightly around her red wedding dress.
A red shadow flashed on the car window glass, a hazy red.
Tang Ning felt depressed, as if something was pressing on his chest. This dull feeling mixed with the weakness and dizziness in his body made Tang Ning a little breathless.
"It's finally out!!!" Then came the cheers of the players.
Tang Ning touched his chest and saw that the scenery outside the window had turned into an empty road.
The car was on a flat road, Lin Yun stepped on the accelerator, and the numbers on the dashboard soared. It was about to get dark, and Lin Yun didn't care about speeding or safety issues. He was still outside in the middle of the night, and if things went wrong, the car would be ruined.
The flying speed made Tang Ning feel as if the car was floating, as if something was pushing the car up, making Tang Ning feel unsteady even with his feet on the board.
He looked at the people around him and found that everyone was in a good mood. Someone whispered, "We just drove in the mountains for half an hour and couldn't get out. I thought we were trapped in a ghost wall." "Yeah, we finally got out." "Do you have a signal now?" "The signal is poor, but there is a little bit. We should be out of the influence range of that thing."
A new message popped up on Tang Ning's phone, still from Geng Xi.
Now that the signal is almost restored, it makes sense for Gengxi to send the message.
"Xiao Ning, if you're going to be late at the TV station, can I pick you up at your workplace? I'm a little worried about you going back alone at night."
When Geng Xi said this, Tang Ning's heart skipped a beat. That was right. Lin Yun would definitely drive him to the TV station and then they would go their separate ways. Lin Yun had been driving for such a long time that the car was worn out. Tang Ning didn't feel comfortable asking Lin Yun to drive him back.
So will he take a taxi back home late at night? Or take the last bus back late at night? Or ride a shared bike or walk back home
No matter which option he chose, Tang Ning didn't want to try it alone. He felt that it would not only scare himself, but also the innocent passers-by in this world - after all, he was now wearing a red wedding dress.
Geng Xi seemed to have a good relationship with him and might be the prince in the Princess and the Pea card. After all, in Tang Ning's previous experiences, the NPCs who protected him were mostly his boyfriends, crushes, and husbands. Even if Geng Xi was not a prince, having Geng Xi's company was better than him groping around in the dark.
"Okay." Tangning replied.
After sending this message, Tangning continued to look out the window. Looking out the window can make you feel better when you are carsick. He realized that even though they were on the highway outside, maybe because there were fewer people on this road or what, Lin Yun drove like a speeding car for most of the way, but there was still no car around. It was extremely lonely.
No.
Tang Ning's pupils shrank as he saw the driver's body standing on the roadside through the glass again.
It was not known whether it was because Lin Yun was driving too fast, causing afterimages of things outside, or if something really unusual had happened, but Tang Ning saw two more people behind the original driver's body!
A total of shadows stood on the dark highway! The first person seemed to have a strange light flashing on his head!
The car whizzed past, and Tang Ning's heartbeat accelerated. He wanted to tell himself that it was an illusion, but what he saw in a quick glance was firmly imprinted in his mind.
There were two straight shadows, the person standing behind was leaning on the shoulder of the person in front, everyone lowered their heads, walking stiffly and slowly in the night. This scene was indescribably weird and could scare car owners who passed by unintentionally.
If you see it once, it is an illusion, but if you see it twice, you must definitely take it seriously!
"I just saw someone standing outside. Did you see him?" Tangning asked.
As these words came out, the excited conversations of the players in the bus became quieter. They all looked out the window, but did not see anyone. The bus continued to speed on the empty road, with the whistling sound of the wind.
Is there someone standing outside
"Is he a passerby?" Youwan asked.
"They weren't passersby. I saw the first person clearly. It was the deceased driver." Tangning said seriously, "At first I only saw the driver following the car. Then I fell asleep for a while, and when I opened my eyes I saw another person following the driver. At that time I thought I was seeing things, but just now I noticed that there were two more people behind the driver."
"I didn't see anyone. I found that Lin Yun had been driving for so long, but the road was still so straight, without even a fork." Huang Shen's tone was filled with uneasiness.
The atmosphere became tense, and someone asked Lin Yun: "How long will it take to get there?"
"According to the system's navigation, I should have driven out by now." Lin Yun said in a deep voice.
The system he mentioned, everyone present knew that it was the system of the card game.
The pictures given by the system cannot be false, they have not escaped the influence of the mysterious quantity!
Tang Ning looked at Du Feng, wanting to ask if he had any solution. He frowned as if he was thinking about something, so Tang Ning did not bother to interrupt him.
Lin Yun's car was driving faster and faster, so fast that it seemed like it was about to fly over. Tang Ning's fear and panic became more and more intense.
After a long while, Lin Yun suddenly slowed down. If Tang Ning hadn't grabbed the edge of the seat, she would have been thrown out.
"What are you doing?!" someone who accidentally bumped into the back of the seat in front shouted.
Lin Yun's cold voice came from the front of the bus: "Look ahead."
Everyone looked forward at the same time. The cold lights of the car shone on the things in front of them. They saw a group of people appearing not far away! They were walking slowly forward with their heads down and shoulders linked!
The car slowed down to a speed almost as slow as walking, and everyone in the car looked at those things with wide eyes.
Tang Ning is the same.
He spotted the fourth person in the corpse-driving team at a glance, because that person was wearing a red robe that fluttered in the night wind. This was a red that Tang Ning had never seen before. It was said that the most ferocious ghost was the one in red. The red robe could make people tremble with fear just by looking at it from a distance.
As Tangning was thinking this, the car drove up to the corpse-driving team. Under the pale light, Tangning could clearly see the face of the man in red.
It turned out to be him!
how so?!
Tang Ning's head buzzed. A huge panic and shock overwhelmed him, making him feel cold from the bottom of his heart to his fingertips. Before he could recover from the shock, Tang Ning saw something familiar again, Miao silver shoulder ornaments, and a red belt tied around the waist -
The fourth person standing in the team is Tang Ning!
The first person dressed in Miao style is Du Feng!
The second person wearing a red belt is Lin Yun!
The thing walking in front is the driver!
The four people sitting in the car suddenly appeared outside the car at the same time!
Tang Ning couldn't believe his eyes. He looked up at the other people in the car in panic. Lin Yun was driving with his back to him, Du Feng had a frown on his face, and the other people in the car looked at them in confusion, as if they were staring at some monster.
Tang Ning understood this look. If the people he had just seen were Chen Yan, Huang Shen and the others, he would also be looking at them with such vigilance.
"Du Feng, do you know what's going on? What should we do now?" Tang Ning was panicking. He asked Du Feng.
Du Feng, who was silently observing the outside of the car, did not speak. Instead, Huang Shen suddenly shouted, "Stop the car!"
Everyone looked at Huang Shen.
"Stop the bus! If you want to die, don't take us with you!" Huang Shen, who was sitting behind Du Feng, said excitedly. He stood up and ran to the last seat on the bus and sat down. Then he said, "Didn't you notice? Every time this car overtook them, there would be one more person in their team next time!"
"The first one is the driver, then he, he, he." Huang Shen pointed at Lin Yun, Du Feng, and Tang Ning one by one, "From front to back, from left to right!"
After Huang Shen finished his analysis, the other players' faces changed color, especially Chen Yan. He was sitting behind Tang Ning. If the situation really happened in the order Huang Shen described, then he would be the next person to appear in the team!
The other players also reacted. They did not immediately scramble for the seats in the back row, but planned to wait and see what would happen. If something happened to Chen Yan, it would not be too late for them to change positions later.
At this moment, the silent Du Feng finally said slowly: "Get out of the car."
get off?!
Tangning didn't expect to get this kind of answer, "Why do you want to get off the bus?"
Du Feng didn't explain. He just stood up and walked to the door of the car and shouted to Lin Yun, "Open the door!"
Although their car had already driven to the front of the corpse-driving team, if they got out of the car at this time, they would definitely collide with those things!
Lin Yun did not open the door immediately. Instead, he looked at Tang Ning, wanting her opinion.
"Get off the car quickly, or it will be too late." Tang Ning found that Du Feng's speech speed had become faster, and his anxious state did not seem fake. Since Du Feng also appeared in that team, they should be grasshoppers on a rope now, and Du Feng should not take them out of the car and die together.
Besides, they have been in this car for so long and can't get out, so why not get out and try
Thinking of this, Tang Ning nodded to Lin Yun. Lin Yun did not hesitate any longer and opened the car door. Du Feng, who was standing by the door, got out first, followed by Tang Ning, and then Lin Yun and Chen Yan.
The temperature outside was low, and Tang Ning was surrounded by a chill as soon as he got off the car. What made Tang Ning even colder was the strange team not far away!
The distance of less than two meters allowed Tang Ning to see more details. The leading driver lowered his head, a shadow covering his pale face, his hands drooping naturally, with another person's hands on his shoulders, and then the second, third and fifth pairs of hands were placed on the shoulders of the person in front of them, and the team became five people!
The figure that appeared at the end of the team was Chen Yan!
Tang Ning's scalp exploded when he saw this. He wanted to run away, but Du Feng lowered his voice and said to him, "Put it on my shoulder."
Du Feng put his arm around Lin Yun's shoulders as he spoke. Tang Ning quickly followed Du Feng's example and Chen Yan put his arm around Tang Ning's shoulders without anyone saying anything.
They stood on the roadside in the same posture as that team. Tang Ning looked up nervously at the players on the bus. Five players were hesitating on the bus. They seemed to want to observe what would happen when that strange team bumped into Tang Ning and his team.
Rustle, rustle.
Heavy feet made a harsh friction sound as they walked towards Tang Ning step by step. Every step seemed to step on Tang Ning's heart, giving Tang Ning a strong sense of oppression.
Tang Ning was tense as he stared at the gradually approaching corpse-driving team. Suddenly, one of the five creatures looked up and stared straight at Tang Ning. The red wedding dress draped over it made it look like a ghost that had died tragically.
If Tang Ning hadn't already been carrying his hand on Du Feng's shoulder, and Du Feng had no intention of moving, he would have probably run as far as he could.
Not everyone can be as calm as Du Feng when seeing another "self" approaching step by step.
Du Feng did not move, and their team also remained motionless like a mountain.
Those things were getting closer and closer, one meter, half a meter, ten centimeters
No!
Don't come over here!
Every cell in Tang Ning's body was screaming!
Under everyone's nervous gaze, they passed by Tang Ning's team.
Then I got on the bus parked on the roadside!
