Returning from the abyss

Chapter 40 The Gathered Explorers

The morning of July [-]th was not peaceful.

After Shu Xingruo and several stars participated in the first rehearsal, they had lunch in a local restaurant at noon—it was nothing at all. black mist.

"There... what's going on?"

Following Shu Xingruo's pointing out, several other celebrities also looked over.

"Is it on fire? It's summer now, so wildfires are more likely to happen." A male movie star chuckled, "Don't worry, such a mountainous city has experience in dealing with wildfires, and it won't hinder us."

"But that's not smoke, is it? It looks more like fog..."

Another female star who was a bit timid did not agree.

"Should we ask the organizer? It's a safety hazard."

An assistant was sent out and recovered quickly: "There are tourists in the mountains who have a picnic and did not follow up. The fire is not serious, and it will be resolved soon. Don't worry."

The male movie star laughed with a guessing look on his face, and the rest of the people were also relieved.

Except for Shu Xingruo.

The black mist didn't take long to rise, and the response was that it would be resolved soon, which means it hadn't been resolved yet. In this case, how did they know the cause of the fire?Neither the speed of response nor the details were right.

Although he was a little anxious in his heart, Shu Xingruo still had a relaxed expression on his face. While chatting with everyone without a trace, he quietly observed the fog on the mountain.

After about 5 minutes, the black mist disappeared, and everything returned to calm. Shu Xingruo picked up the wine glass, pressed the emergency call button of the mobile phone in his pocket while drinking, and cut off the call after five seconds.

At the same time, Han Yin, who was in the lobby outside, held his mobile phone and made an apologetic expression with several managers around him, and left to "answer the phone".

The target of his communication is another mystery explorer, who is a reporter from Danma Daily, named Shen Xinyue.He had already confirmed the identities of several other secret explorers before, and this one was easier for him to contact.

As the other party, the amount of information he can get access to is much more than that of himself as a foreigner. Although the other party still has doubts about his identity, he still agrees to cooperate with Han Yin's efforts.

The "mountain fire" this time was naturally within the scope of the news. When the call was connected, Shen Xinyue was already driving to the scene.

"The situation is unknown."

Before Han Yin could speak, Shen Xinyue told about her situation.

"About 10 minutes before the newspaper received the news, I took the initiative to ask for the opportunity to go to the scene to interview. The police and firefighters were also dispatched, but it is impossible to arrive at the scene now. However, the black smoke has disappeared."

"Be careful, another ally warned me that something is wrong."

Shen Xinyue was waiting for the red light, and just hearing Han Yin's words, she couldn't help chuckling.

"Han Yin, how many testing grounds have you passed?"

"Two games, is there a problem?"

The female reporter flicked her long hair, saw the signal light turn green, shifted the gear, released the clutch, and slowly started the car.

"After four rounds, my biggest insight is that if you don't actively face these things, you can only die in ignorance. Therefore, even if you may die, I will be a sensible ghost."

"us……"

"I don't mean to accuse you, but since you have enough free time, there is no need to waste it in boring entertainment. Pretending to be sick, or finding an excuse to fall out with others, in short, don't stay in one place. The way is Walked out by myself."

"Why... why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

"Ha, do you need a reason to want others to live? I need teammates who can help. Can you be that kind of person?"

Shen Xinyue drove the car out of the urban area and turned into a side road.

"We will help you as much as possible, we are one camp."

Han Yin is still a little naive. Having only experienced two games, he doesn't have a precise concept of confrontational scenes, but this is a good thing for Shen Xinyue.

There is no shortage of malice and intrigue in this intrigue scene, but it should also be neutralized with some trust and kindness.

Humming happily, she drove on the Panshan Highway.Since the slope is not particularly steep, and the turn is only [-] degrees at most, this road is not as difficult as I thought.However, when the traffic on the road gradually decreased and the lane was reduced to two lanes, Shen Xinyue suddenly heard a loud noise from the roof of the car!
As soon as she raised her head, she saw from the rearview mirror that the roof of the car was obviously dented a little, as if something heavy had fallen.Immediately afterwards, two hooded men wearing gas masks suddenly appeared on the road ahead, holding fire axes in their hands and blocking the middle of the road!
"This set doesn't work anymore!"

Shen Xinyue stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the car increased instead of decreasing. It was over [-] in an instant, and rushed straight towards the two hooded men!
The collision of a person and a car did not make a loud noise, but instead made a "puff" sound as if it had hit a bag full of fluid. With the sound of brakes, it hit the guardrail, and pus, mixed with blue, white, red, and yellow, was squeezed out from the gaps in the clothes of the two hooded men, and sprayed all over the windshield.

Shen Xinyue reached out and lifted the backpack on the passenger seat, then took out a crowbar from under the seat, opened the door and got out of the car.

The thing that hit the roof of the car has been thrown down more than ten meters. It is also a hooded man, and now he is struggling to get up.Shen Xinyue saw that bubbles were gradually emerging from the meat paste on the car body, and immediately understood that the body fluids of these monsters were poisonous or acidic, and immediately ran up the mountain along the road.

After confirming that there was indeed a problem on the mountain, Shen Xinyue became even more excited.

As a veteran who has passed four testing grounds, she has already accumulated enough points, and she is not hesitant to spend part of it on improving her physical fitness and fighting skills. Even if the opponent is a superhuman monster, she doesn't believe in herself at all. No ability to resist.And the experience of surviving many times of near death also told her that if she chooses to leave now, some things will never be known.

After walking along the mountain road for less than a quarter of an hour, she turned into the dense forest and searched in the direction she remembered, and soon found signs of people passing by in a bush area.

At the same time, two figures suddenly emerged from behind the opposite tree. Shen Xinyue hid behind the tree, poked her head out slightly, and found that they were two people dressed as hunters, both around forty years old, with big arms and round waists, Each held a shotgun.

"Little girl, don't hide, we are not bad people." A man wearing a bamboo hat on the left lowered the muzzle of his gun and raised his hand to show that he did not have any malicious intentions. "My name is Li Zhongxin, and I am a hunter on the mountain."

"Wang Zongxiang is also an Orion." The man with a short beard next to him also put away his gun.

"Are you really hunters? I was attacked by strange people at the foot of the mountain just now, do you know what happened!" Shen Xinyue shouted.

"How could we know that you were attacked, the mountain is not safe recently, little girl, it's not good for you to go up the mountain alone." Li Zhongxin replied.

"Can you take me down the mountain?" Shen Xinyue asked tentatively.

The two men looked at each other, and Li Zhongxin replied: "It's not impossible, but we still have to hunt today, why don't you go for a walk with us first?"

"Hunting? I can pay you, it's not a day away, right?"

"Little girl, you are worried about us. Have you brought your mobile phone? The signal on the mountain is okay, you can call someone to pick you up." Li Zhongxin suggested.

Shen Xinyue pondered for a moment, and sent a message to Han Yin. After receiving the reply from the other party, she walked out from behind the tree, and the three of them walked up the mountain together.

The cannibal cave looks like an ordinary cave on the outside.However, there is a deathly silence around the cave, not only is there no sound of birds and cicadas, even the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops has disappeared.If it wasn't for talking to each other and still being able to hear each other, it would make people think that this is a world without sound.

This kind of abnormality undoubtedly further shows that there is a problem here. After Lu Ning confirmed that the cave was indeed a cannibal cave, no one dared to go in and take a look.

"Exploring and courting death are two different things." Fei Yunwei plausibly said, "A place like this looks like a place where we must die. Either we all go, or we don't even enter."

"We've all gone in. If something happens, who will be responsible for sending out the news?" Yuan Xi turned on the flashlight and took a photo inside.Xiao Shifan took out two button-type walkie-talkies from his mountaineering bag, handed one to Yuan Xi, pinned it on his collar, and got into the hole first.

As a result, the three young people were a little embarrassed.

"Ah...then I'll go in too, and take care of me." Liu Changan smiled at Yuan Xi, and followed Xiao Shifan's footsteps into the cave.

Lu Ning leaned against a tree without expressing any opinion.

The rest of the people also basically ignored her, and they would deal with such a person who didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend as long as there was no change, but they were probably all vigilant in their hearts.

At this time, in Lu Ning's eyes, the female ghost did not follow Liu Changan into the cave, probably she followed one of Gao Yunji and Fei Yunwei.The female ghost's expression is gradually becoming anxious, and the evil spirit on her body is getting stronger. Although it can't be felt by people yet, it is beginning to faintly wrap around the people around her.

Suddenly, the sound of someone pushing away the bushes came from behind, and the few people who had just been attacked immediately put on a vigilant posture.

Shen Xinyue and the two hunters also saw several people at the same time.

"Hey! Wait, we are humans, not beasts!" Li Zhongxin called out quickly, "Are you tourists lost in the mountains?"

"We're just here to play." Yuan Xi didn't put down his gun, "Who are you?"

"We are Orion! This lady is a reporter, we—"

Before Li Zhongxin finished speaking, Yuan Xi's expression changed suddenly, and he pulled up his collar suddenly: "What did you say? What's going on over there? Is it dangerous?"

After listening for a while, Yuan Xi yelled directly:
"Run!"
