"Afraid?"
In the silence, Xiang Wan heard Mei Xin's voice.
During this journey, Mei Xin rarely spoke.
Hearing her question suddenly, Xiang Wan felt a little conflicted.
"Not afraid."
To comfort someone, Xiang Wan spoke calmly.
She looks up at the sky.
Let's call it heaven.
There were no tops of those dark shadows.
"If I die here, I won't be reconciled." Mei Xin said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xiang Wan listened with a hint of interest on his face.
"I just thought about it. In my life, I seem to accomplish nothing. There are still many things I want to do, but I have never had time to do them. I am always very busy. I always think, after this busy time, I will do it. Wait for this After the matter is over, I will do it... In the end, I didn't do anything." Mei Xin turned her head silently, "Also, I didn't say goodbye to my mother. I don't want to die."
"..."
Mei Xin quietly looked at the fire.
That expression made Xiang Wan's heart twitch.
"We won't die."
So confident.
Her calmness infected Mei Xin.
"You are so calm!"
At this moment, how can an ordinary woman not be afraid
Xiang Wan's heart... was also afraid.
She chuckled lightly, a little innocently.
"I don't think we should die like this. We are all good people. The bad people are not dead, so why should we die?"
This…
Mei Xin was amused by her serious look.
"I'm a forensic doctor. What I see most is life and death. I'm not really afraid of death. I even thought that if I die one day, I will lie on the dissecting table and be studied piece by piece like animals..."
Xiang Wan: "..."
The scene she described was too horrifying for Xiang Wan to imagine.
After thinking about it, Xiang Wan asked Mei Xin curiously.
"If you could choose, would you like that?"
"I don't want to!"
Without thinking about it, Mei Xin answered without hesitation.
"I don't want anyone to see what I look like after death. I don't even want to be dissected in such an ugly way."
"..."
It's hard to say whether it's ugly or not.
But when a person dies, without a soul, he is just a pile of flesh.
Being said, being seen, can no longer be felt...
It didn't matter at all.
But why is it still so scary when you think about it carefully
"You're right." Xiang Wan agreed, "I also think that if you die peacefully and without pain, you will actually be very happy... Hey! It's just such a small luxury, isn't it too much?"
Mei Xin looked at her.
In the eyes, there is no sparkle at all.
"Excessive!"
"..." Xiang Wan rolled his eyes.
"Death is a kind of pain, how can you ask for a painless death?"
"..."
Is there no kind of death that is painless
Thinking about it, Xiang Wan felt dizzy and felt a little pain.
However, after taking the medicine given by Cheng Zheng just now, her condition is still stable.
"Let's change the subject."
If we continue to discuss, the spirit will collapse.
Mei Xin glanced at her, and then looked at the sky in her direction.
"I've never been in a relationship!"
"..."
This topic is really not scary.
But it sounds, why is it a little sad
"Then do you think that you should have a good relationship so that your life is not in vain?"
"...At least you have to feel what it feels like to be loved?" Mei Xin was thinking, holding a branch in her hand, drawing carelessly on the mud floor, and suddenly sighed, "No one has ever loved me. And no one is chasing me."
"!"
To be honest, if it weren't for the special circumstances tonight, Xiang Wan wouldn't believe that Mei Xin would say such a thing.
As far as Xiang Wan knew, Mei Xin... was really not easy to get close to.
It doesn't matter if you are cold and cold, you deal with corpses every day.
Ordinary men would really dare not pursue her casually.
…
Before Xiang Wan could answer, Mei Xin asked suddenly, "Do you feel fear?"
Xiang Wan was startled, and closed his eyes, "Well, I've never been afraid before!"
The whole heart is cold.
The whole person seems to be isolated in this world by the world.
The threat of death is infinitely magnified.
"Lieutenant Ma!"
Beside the fire, Cheng Zheng's voice suddenly came.
Quan Shaoteng stayed behind to be the person in charge of security for everyone. He was a lieutenant of the armed police.
Hearing the sound, he was surprised: "What's the matter Cheng Dui?"
Everyone was startled and turned their heads hastily.
Cheng Zheng didn't answer, and slowly stood up, looking into the deep night.
"Those who are on duty at night should not doze off, and those who are resting should not fall asleep—we must be careful, in case the person at the secret door suddenly appears?"
Everyone's heart shrank.
Not without this possibility.
The jungle is too big, no one knows what kind of "demons and ghosts" are hidden in it, and it is not impossible for the missing secret doorman to appear.
"Heh! Let's just be a few disabled soldiers and wives, be careful..."
As Cheng Zheng said, he suddenly frowned and looked at the people by the fire.
"Let's not just sit and wait! Get up and move around, let's make a simple fortification!"
"Ok?"
"it is good!"
"Okay! This makes me feel safe!"
Simple fortifications are not necessarily useful.
But there is something in front of it, which can always make people feel more at ease.
Let's do what we say, and act quickly!
The crowd fell silent.
The fire burned slowly.
Gradually, a part of it went out, and it was not as prosperous as before.
A soldier silently came over to add a handful of firewood, coughing from the smoke.
"Change the direction!" Cheng Zheng said, "The mountain wind is blowing towards you!"
The soldier who added firewood slapped his face, coughed, barely opened his eyes, and moved a position—
Just as he turned around, his face suddenly changed color and his eyes widened.
"Team Cheng—"
Everyone's heartstrings here are tense.
As long as there is a slight disturbance, it is enough to make them terrified.
Upon hearing the voice, a group of more than a dozen people all looked in the direction he pointed.
There was a fire here just now, and it was impossible to see things in the dark.
But at this time, the fire was hit by the fallen branch of the man, and it was almost extinguished. Everyone saw the fire coming from the depths of the dense forest——
— the light of a flashlight.
Not one, but a group.
Like fireflies, dotted with dots, coming towards them—
Cheng Zheng suddenly took a tree branch and extinguished the fire completely!
The whole world suddenly fell into darkness and silence.
The cold wind blows over, shivering.
"Ready to fight!"
Someone took a breath in a low voice, "Aren't you one of us?"
"It's not like. It's one of our own, I've already called it!"
…
Encountered the plague, and met the enemy.
Everyone was thrown into despair in an instant—
There are too few of them!
There were only a dozen people in total, including women and patients.
Lieutenant Ma glanced nervously and picked up the police walkie-talkie.
Whether it is useful or not, call out in a low voice.
"Team Quan, Team Quan! We have met the enemy!"
"Quan, Quan! Please reply!"
"Captain Quan! If you receive it, please answer—"
"Team Quan! Call for support!"
The last sound, melted into the mountain wind, seemed to tremble.
At this moment, a voice finally came from the intercom.
"Number of people?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"About twenty or so!"
This number was counted by them from the firelight.
At the same time, this number is also watery - what if someone didn't use a flashlight
"Fuck!" Quan Shaoteng cursed angrily, "How many people can we fight?"
Lieutenant Ma glanced at his companion in the dark and frowned.
"Less than ten people!"
"Enough!" Quan Shaoteng said calmly, "Hold on, I'll-"
Before he finished speaking, there was a "beep" on the walkie-talkie, which turned into a burst of electric current.
It's over! No signal again.
This also means that they will face the danger alone.
