"Maybe it's the wind or the echo?" Wu You deliberately guessed in a less scary direction.
"No matter what it is, everyone should be alert at night." Ke Xun didn't even guess, he waved his hand, "Eat first, you can do it if you have the strength."
Everyone ate some yak jerky and dry food wrapping their stomachs in their cars. It was only after seven o'clock in the evening, but the sky outside was as dark as late at night. The snow waves, and sometimes tornadoes swept up countless huge pillars, and the sharp howls roared from all directions, and the entire valley seemed to be filled with hundreds of thousands of ghosts, wreaking havoc in front of everyone.
Hua Jiqiu suffered from a headache due to altitude sickness. After taking the medicine given by Qin, he fell asleep on the seat with a thick blanket on. After driving for a long time, Shao Ling was also a little tired. After leaning on the back of the seat for a long time, he fell asleep with even breathing.
Luo Meng couldn't fall asleep. He leaned on the steering wheel and looked at his mobile phone. Although the mobile phone had no signal, it did not prevent him from watching the video stored on the machine. Zhu Haowen glanced at it and found that he was watching the daily life of his home with his girlfriend.
In the picture, the beautiful and lovely girls and sunny and handsome boys are holding their beloved pet cats and dogs in their arms, talking, laughing and hugging together. The background is a room full of life, looking out through the bright windows of the room, it is A small, well-tended garden with lush greenery.
The thin golden sunlight sprinkled warmly in the room, on the soft bodies of cats and dogs, and in the carefree eyes of the young couple.
Zhu Haowen had no way of guessing how Luo Yao said goodbye to his girlfriend. Maybe he laughed and cried, maybe cried and laughed, maybe he just waved goodbye and told the other party that he wanted to eat a bowl of her own hands when he came back again. Egg fried rice.
And which of these companions around him is not like this
"Radish, rest early," Zhu Haowen averted his eyes from looking at his red nose, "You drive all day and keep your spirits up. I'm on the first shift night."
Luo Meng rubbed his eyes in response, and was about to wrap himself in a blanket to rest when he suddenly pointed to the blizzard and snow in front of the car window, his voice was terrified: "Brother Wen'er—then—who is that—"
Zhu Haowen also saw it - in the turbulent wind and snow in front of the car, there are a dozen black shadows moving rapidly towards the depths of the canyon!
In such a big snowstorm, it is impossible for normal people to move an inch, but those shadows seem to have no obstacles, the upper body is stiff like a ghost, there is no communication with each other, nor look around, and there is no unnecessary movement, just silently moving forward. , and soon disappeared into the chaotic sand and snow storm.
"This-what is this-" Luo Meng opened his eyes wide in horror and looked at Zhu Haowen, "Is it my hallucination? Is it my hallucination!"
"It's not an illusion," Zhu Haowen picked up the gun and reached out to open the door. "You are guarding in the car, the door is locked, I'll go to Ke Xun and their car to discuss."
Hua Jiqiu and Shao Ling in the back seat slept soundly and were motionless at the moment.
"Brother Wen'er—I'm afraid—" Luo Meng grabbed his sleeve.
Zhu Haowen casually handed him the Ipad that was in the car: "Let's watch a small movie, it's from Ke Xun." He opened the door and went out.
Luo Yao: "..." No, even if I'm scared to death, I don't want to watch calcium movies...
Zhu Haowen walked to Mu Yiran's car against the wind and snow. Before he could reach out and knock on the window, the car door opened from the inside, and a hand stretched out and quickly dragged him into the car.
"Have you seen it too?" Zhu Haowen wiped the sand and snow from his face and looked at the few people who were still awake in the car.
"Seeing the scumbag, it's a goddamn ghost!" Wei Dong wrapped himself tightly in the blanket in shock.
Li Xiaochun stared at Zhu Haowen with wide eyes: "Haowen'er, you are so bold, how dare you get out of the car like this!"
"What do you think?" Zhu Haowen asked Ke Xun and Mu Yiran.
"We want to follow along and have a look." Ke Xun said.
"What if it's a trap to lure us into a trap?" Zhu Haowen said.
Ke Xun smiled: "Wen Erzai, have you forgotten what we are here for? We know that there are tigers in the mountains and we have to go to the tiger mountains. If we want to protect ourselves, why are we here? We came here originally. Even if they knew there was a trap, they had to jump into it. If those shadows were bait, then at most they wanted to lure us into the painting again, or to find the final answer. If it was to kill us halfway, that would be too much. It makes no sense, we entered so many paintings, and finally died in this wilderness? What's the point?"
Zhu Haowen was speechless for a while.
He found that today's Ke Xun has become more and more unstoppable.
A long time ago, I was a fool and sweet, but after just a few months, my words are well-founded, my actions are measured, my thinking is orderly, my understanding and brains are flying together, and I am domineering and arrogant... he is.
"But those shadows have disappeared just now. Is it too late for us to chase after them?" Li Xiaochun asked.
"If it's a bait, there should be a backhand," Mu Yiran said, "If it's just this one time, then we don't need to keep up."
Zhu Haowen nodded, and without rushing back, he sat in the back seat and stared out of the car window with the four of them.
One after another, the gust of wind continued to roll in from all directions, and several people needed to constantly wipe off the moisture on the side windows. almost twisted.
The mountains in the distance are looming in this twisted wind screen and snow. Sometimes they look very far away, and sometimes they seem to be suddenly crowded in front of me. The continuous mountain peaks were like the fangs of a savage ghost for a while, and this winding and twisted canyon was like a cold and sticky ghost tongue, wrapping everyone on the back of the tongue. A small and fragile human being swallowed into the belly.
The gust of wind outside the car window made a "woo woo" sound. At one time it was howling like a hundred beasts, and at another time it was crying like a thousand ghosts. When it was sharp, it seemed like it was about to pierce the thick car skin. layer of chill.
I don't know how long it took to torment everyone's body and mind like this. Zhu Haowen was a little worried about Luo Wei. He said hello to a few people, and was about to go back to the car when he heard Ke Xun suddenly pointing out the car window and whispering. A sentence: "Come on!"
Several people were shocked together, and quickly looked in the direction he pointed. Seeing the wind and snow, a group of black shadows quickly and silently walked deeper into the canyon.
"Sure enough!" Ke Xun narrowed his eyes, "If we didn't keep up, these things would probably appear again and again."
"It seems that we must follow." Wei Dong said, clenching the gun in his hand.
"Have you found it?" Mu Yiran suddenly said, with a slight strangeness in his voice, "thirteen black shadows appeared these two times."
A few people couldn't help being startled when they heard the words, and after a while, Zhu Haowen also spoke in a strange tone: "You mean, these shadows are probably... the former artists?"
When Wei Dong and Li Xiaochun heard the words, they slammed together again.
"He, are they still alive?" Li Xiaochunrao had always been bold, but at this time, he felt a little bit out of reach.
"Not sure," Mu Yiran pondered, "Even if the last batch of people who entered the painting were alive, they are now at least 110 or 20 years old. At such an age, it is impossible to walk in such a violent wind and snow. As smooth as we have just seen, even light, I am more inclined that those shadows are a kind of reflection, maybe the reflection of a certain group of people who entered the painting before, or maybe…”
Looking up at the few people who were looking at me eagerly, I vaguely heard someone swallowing because of nervousness, so he spit out the remaining half of the sentence: "...It's our own image."
Li Xiaochun let out a heavy gasp, Wei Dong shook his body in a trance, Zhu Haowen didn't speak for a long time.
"No matter what it is," Ke Xun's calm and steady voice sounded, "Let's follow. Hao Wen'er, go back to your car, wake up Mr. Shao, let him go to the girls' car, and group them by day. Take your place, the next time the shadows appear, follow Yi Ran's car, and I'll use the tow rope to connect the three cars now."
"I'll go with you." Wei Dong rubbed his face fiercely to cheer himself up.
"I'll go too." Li Xiaochun also regained his courage.
A few people jumped out of the car, woke everyone who fell asleep, and then even took the car, changed cars, and made nervous preparations.
When the group of thirteen shadows reappeared in the blizzard, the three cars started their engines at the same time in a tacit understanding. The shadow drove towards the depths of the canyon.
The speed of the shadows is neither fast nor slow, but that is definitely not the speed that humans can walk out of. They always stay in front of the vehicle, but even with a telescope, they cannot see their bodies clearly.
They move forward silently, the wind does not sway, the snow does not sway, it is obviously a state of indomitable progress, but they are filled with thick silence and frustration.
Ke Xun put down the binoculars he had been holding, and tugged at his hair.
"What?" Although Mu Yiran was driving the car with all his attention, he still did not ignore him who was sitting beside him.
"You can't keep staring at them like this," Ke Xun's voice was a little hoarse, "If you stare at them for a long time, you will be filled with a particularly suppressed sense of despair, and it will be... very uncomfortable, there is an unspeakable pain and sadness. …”
Mu Yiran stretched out his arms, put his hands on the back of his neck, squeezed gently, and said, "Take a deep breath, don't look at them again, you won't lose them."
"Yeah." Ke Xun Yiyan took a few deep breaths, and Yue Cen handed over a thermos cup from the back row: "Ginseng oolong tea, nourishing Qi and calming the nerves, a few sips will be better."
"Thank you, Sister Cen." Ke Xun took it and took two sips. He lowered his eyes and stared at his knees without raising his head.
After driving like this for an unknown period of time, Ke Xun suddenly felt that the sound of the wind outside the car seemed to be much less. Then he looked out of the car again. He saw that the strong wind had weakened into a strong wind, the blizzard had reduced to fine snow, and the sand and gravel gradually changed from high to high. The air dropped to the ground, but the team of shadows was still looming and blurry.
As we continued to move forward, the wind and snow became smaller and quieter, until it returned to normal, and the team of shadows disappeared completely into the canyon in the dark night as if the special effects were faded.
Mu Yiran stopped the car and looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist. It was specially brought for this operation. All the electronic instruments on the car have failed, and even the time and kilometers can no longer be displayed. " We're probably in the middle of the canyon." He did a mental calculation of the speed and time to get a rough distance.
"Is this the destination they're trying to lead us to find?" Wu You, who had been so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, finally said a complete sentence with his upper and lower teeth.
"It should be." Mu Yiran unfastened his seat belt and took the flashlight, "I'll go down and have a look."
Ke Xun also opened the car door, turned around and instructed the two ladies, "Sister Cen, grab your gun and pay attention to the outside."
"Okay." Yue Cen held the gun in his hand.
Zhu Haowen, Shao Ling, and Qin Ci also got out of the car, and the others stayed in the car to guard. All three of them held guns and flashlights and joined Mu Yiran and Kexun.
"It's strange, it's been snowing for a long time, but what about the snow on the ground?" Qin Ci looked at the grass and withered rocks under his feet in surprise. Although there were some snow stains in the distance, but with the amount of snow in that period of time, the ground There shouldn't be just such a little trace on it.
"It may have been blown away by the wind." Zhu Haowen didn't care about the snow, "or it was all an illusion at all."
"Look." Ke Xun suddenly raised his chin at several people, pointing to the desolate and cold ground not far away.
Where the white light of the flashlight irradiated, a piece of high and low strange rocks stood up, under the action of light and shadow, showing a ferocious appearance.
Around this strange rock, and even farther away, there are corpses and skeletons that seem to be animals. Some of these corpses seem to have just died recently, while others have different degrees of decay. , Some have long since become a pair of incomplete bones, and some even have only tattered and broken fur.
Several people raised their flashlights and irradiated them in all directions, turning the brightness of the light to the highest level, but what they saw was shocking.
The author has something to say:
Luo Yu: Brother Wen'er, I'm afraid!
Howen: Let's watch a small movie, Ke Xun downloaded it.
