When it cracked, it made a slight "beep" sound, one after another, accompanied by the boiling sound of "cuckoo cluck", it became the only movement in this area.
The surface of those black wet mud is not smooth, and when the mud bubble bursts, some other strange things will be brought out, floating black on the surface, and swallowed quietly by the soft mud after a while.
There is no vegetation around the swamp for a radius of more than ten meters. Most of them are some long-shrunk stems, drooping and half-hanging in the mud.
Before I got close enough, I could feel the steaming heat from the swamp and the smell of corruption mixed with the damp smell of the soil, which was very pungent.
But the whole team didn't seem to realize that they were approaching danger, they just walked forward mechanically and blankly, as if they only had the destination in their minds, and didn't even know the turns and detours.
A wind swept through the woods, bringing with it the sickening smell of the boiling swamp, and slapped the faces of the crowd.
Probably because the smell was too irritating, a few young men dressed as soldiers at the front of the line frowned suddenly, and blinked a few times in succession. At that moment, their numb and empty eyes finally found a little focus.
In a semi-conscious state, they were intimidated by the swamp in front of them, and they stopped abruptly.
However, the crowd behind still walked forward unaware, pushing the soldiers forward for another distance.
On the one hand, those soldiers fought stubbornly in their minds, trying to make themselves more conscious and able to control their limbs freely enough. On the one hand, it is necessary to compete with the crowd pushing and shoving forward.
Driven by their ability, they almost broke away from the crowd and moved aside to avoid being squeezed into the swamp. However, the moment one of the soldiers with a baby face struggled to turn his head, he happened to see a group of old and young behind him. The youngest cub was being held in his hands because he couldn't even walk.
The cub's eyes were much clearer than others, but he was equally unaware of danger.
When the baby-faced soldier's eyes met the little thing, the toothless cub stared at him with black eyes, and then suddenly gave him a silly, kid-specific smile.
"I... grab my... hand!" Seeing the smiling soldier suddenly became sober, he turned around for a moment, and shouted at the soldier next to him in a not-so-clean manner: "Quick! Stop... Stop them!"
The soldiers in the front row stretched out their hands one after another in response to his shouts, clasping their wrists, trying to pull up a thin human wall when Zhi was not quite sober, trying to stop the soldiers who were still advancing. people who do.
However, it is almost impossible for just a few of them to fight against the nearly thousand people behind them.
While trying to keep themselves awake, they yelled and tried to wake up the people behind them, but they were pushed closer and closer to the boiling swamp by the crowd...
"Stop, stop!!" The toes of the soldiers in the middle almost touched the edge of the swamp, and the shouting suddenly became louder, almost shrill.
However, even so, he didn't think about it, he could still choose to put his hands down and hide himself aside.
"Wake up!!" A very tall soldier on the far side looked anxious, raised his foot and stomped hard on the foot of the person behind him.
Hearing a howl of "嗤—", the order of the crowd became chaotic, and several civilians were awakened by this voice. The crowd was like fire bees gathered around the nest, and the buzzing sound gradually spread from the front to the back.
However, this is only a change at the front of the team, and the large troops behind are still squeezing forward like flesh.
"Ah!!" There was a scream, and one of the soldiers in the front finally couldn't stop it and was squeezed into the swamp.
His eyes widened and he struggled frantically, but in the blink of an eye, most of his body sank, leaving only the position above his chest. Boiling Swamp, as the name suggests, is extremely hot, and just being hot can scald a person alive and peel off a layer of skin.
The soldier's scream became weak, and finally broke at the bottom of his throat, and together with his whole body, sank into the black mud of the swamp.
Once there was a gap in the human wall, several people followed and pushed into the swamp. Three of the soldiers pulling the human wall went down in a blink of an eye.
For a while, the screams continued in this area, which made people's hearts tremble.
The baby-faced soldier persisted and persisted, almost putting all his strength on his heels, but he still failed to block the people behind him. He was pushed and shoved by two waves of people, unable to stay, and accidentally stepped on the swamp.
The black mud of the boiling swamp is like a blood basin for beasts to eat people
