quadruple sleep

Chen Yezhou contacted the other team first.

The signal was very poor and the interference was severe, but from the intermittent voice on the other party's phone, they probably knew that they had no clues about Jiang Yu, and they didn't encounter any moving vines.

Chen Yezhou gave instructions for them to continue deeper along the road, but to pull back immediately if the signal was interrupted.

At the same time, the two cars here started to move forward one after another. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. No matter how luxuriant the trees were in winter, there was no cover from the leaves. The snow was like goose feathers, and soon the forest road was covered. The wheels squeaked under the snow.

They drove forward for about ten minutes. The speed was very slow. Firstly, the forest road was too narrow and difficult to walk. Secondly, they needed to find clues about Jiang Yu anytime and anywhere. It was snowing again at this moment. , it does not affect Lu Nanshen, but the sight of the other three people will be blocked.

Suddenly, Lu Nanshen said, "Stop the car."

Nian Baixiao reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes the next second. They all thought that Lu Nanshen had discovered Jiang Yu, but Lu Nanshen looked back and asked, "Where is Officer Chen's car?"

……

In the small space, a man wearing a sweatshirt squatted on a large seat, with the hood of the clothes covering his head. The brim of the hood was quite large, hiding the man's face in the darkness.

The man looked very weak, his face was pale, and his lips had no color at all. His knees were pressed against the edge of the table in front of him. On the table were several pill bottles and an empty box of instant noodles. There is an ashtray next to it, filled with cigarette butts.

A cigarette was held between the man's fingers. His hands were almost skin and bones, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands were clearly visible. He slowly exhaled the smoke, and through the large bluish-white mass, he stared at the time above his head, beating frame by frame.

The man under the brim of the hat grinned slightly and chuckled, "Come soon, soon... Lu Nanshen, it all depends on your ability. I'm really looking forward to it..."

The man became more excited and laughed out loud as he talked, but at the same time the smoke choked his throat, causing him to cough violently.

Coughing and laughing at the same time——

Lu Nanshen, Lu Nanshen... What will happen when you are afraid and desperate...
-

Chen Yezhou disappeared, along with his car.

Lu Nanshen and Nian Baixiao got out of the car, but for a long time they didn't see Chen Yezhou's car following them.

It was snowing heavily, and the night was thick with snow and fog. No matter how bright the flashlight was, it could not shine through and illuminate further sight lines. Seeing Lu Nanshen's brows furrowed, Nian Baixiao realized something was wrong and asked him, "Can you hear the movement of that car?"

can not hear.

Not only could he not hear the sound of Chen Yezhou's car, he could not even hear the sounds outside the radius. The only sounds that could reach his ears were the surrounding sounds.

Nian Baixiao was shocked when he heard this, "You can't even hear it? Isn't that right..."

If Lu Nanshen can't hear it, then Chen Yezhou's car must be thrown far away, but a few minutes ago he glanced at the rearview mirror and Chen Yezhou's car was following closely behind. This is their consensus. The situation in this mountain is special. The two cars must not be too far apart.

Hang Si got out of the car and asked Lu Nanshen what happened, where was Officer Chen? Lu Nan looked deeply at the vast surroundings, turned to Hang Si and said, "Can you sense his car?"

She was faintly surprised when she heard Lu Nanshen ask this, then squatted down and touched the ground with her hands. The ground was cold and hard and she couldn't feel anything. Shaking her head deeply at Lu Nan, she stood up.

"Is it because his car can't be detected, or is it that no matter how far away it is, it can't be detected?" Lu Nanshen asked softly.

After Lu Nanshen reminded Hang Si, he immediately came to his senses. He knelt down and sensed it for a moment. After he stood up, his expression became serious, "I can't sense anything anymore."

Nian Baixiao was confused, "What do you mean?"

"It means..." Hang Si thought for a moment, "It's like something is blocking the sound. You can only hear the sounds next to you, but you can't hear the sounds further away." "To be precise, the sound is Not at all." Lu Nanshen corrected.

He was sure of that.

Although Fang Sheng didn't get out of the car, he heard these words and leaned against the car window and asked, "It's like a barrier?"

"Yes, barrier." Hang Si felt that this description was very appropriate.

A barrier separates the connection between here and the outside.

Nian Baixiao didn't understand what they were talking about.

Lu Nan understood the meaning of this word. After hearing the words, his expression changed and he said to Nian Baixiao, "Get in the car and try driving back."

It ended in failure after five or six minutes.

Their car could not go back.

No matter how you drive, you end up going back to the starting point. It's like a barrier has been set up here. People from outside can't get in, and they can't get out. No matter how good Lu Nanshen's ears were, it was useless to rely on precise positioning.

We can only move on.

Lu Nanshen carved a mark on the tree trunk, which was convenient for them and also left a signal to Chen Yezhou.

Continuing to walk along the forest road, Hang Si glanced back subconsciously and took a breath. Lu Nanshen followed her gaze and looked back. The snow and fog behind the car was very thick, and it looked like a vast expanse. Even the trees within sight could not be seen.

It was as if they were on a path they never came upon.

"No matter how heavy the snow is, it can't be so blurry." Hang Si was surprised.

Lu Nanshen gave a possibility, "We previously suspected that this was a huge magnetic field. From this point of view, this is indeed the case, and the magnetic force here is quite strong. It can not only mess up the direction, but also isolate sounds for miles around. , the snow has most likely been affected as well, and the snow and fog have condensed severely."

At this point, he looked at her and asked softly, "Are you afraid?"

Hang Si's heart was slightly touched.

Not to mention how scared I am, but it’s not like I’m not scared at all. Some of the places she walked through were not as dangerous as Death Valley. During that trip to Death Valley, she actually had the mentality that she couldn't get out. She hid in Xi'an for more than half a year. The original intention of deciding to go to Death Valley was not the high commission, but to stimulate herself with more extreme emotions. , allowing yourself to completely get out of the past.

The current dangers were no less than those in Death Valley. It would be false to say that she was not afraid, and now she gradually found that she began to cherish her life.

Lu Nan seemed to have read through her thoughts, smiled slightly, crossed his arm and held her hand, "It's okay, I'm here."

His palms were warm, and there was a steady smile in his eyes, as reassuring as obsidian. Hang Si thought of the previous scene where he protected her. It was not her who protected him at the critical moment, but he who protected her thoroughly. My heart felt warm, "Okay."

"Lu Nanshen!" Nian Baixiao suddenly said.

Then he braked the car and gestured diagonally forward not far away, "Have we found a place?"
