death row

Chapter 4 The Land of Evil Spirits
Seeing the strange situation in the forest area, the four of us looked at each other. After a long time, Gou Changqing said, "What do you think?"

"Could it be that the mercenaries are scaring us and setting up doubts?" I asked.

"This man was not killed by those mercenaries. Judging from the degree of freezing, he should have been dead for a long time." Lei Zhen took off the bell from the corpse's hand and said: "The bell hanging on the corpse is to attract people. The attention of people entering the forest area, it seems that some people don't want us to go in."

"Then who is this person? Lily is no man's land?" Gou Changqing said.

"Who knows? International criminal organizations, terrorists, and drug cartels may all create a secret passage in this no-man's land. This is their usual method, and I am too familiar with it." Speaking of this, Lei Zhen suddenly revealed With a puzzled look on his face, he leaned in front of one of the trees and took a closer look: "I can also provide you with a piece of information. The group of mercenaries who entered before us may have come for the people who wrote on the tree."

"Evidence?" Gou Changqing also joined in.

"There are bullet holes on the tree pole, and the degree of ice in the bullet holes is not high, which means that it was shot not long ago. No one would shoot a tree for no reason. The reason why he did this may be after seeing these words. He became angry and expressed his contempt for the warning in this way, from which it can be further inferred that those soldiers may have come to this forest to trouble the writers."

The ability of the agents to dig out clues is indeed much stronger than ours. After Lei Zhen’s analysis, Bo Yun’s treacherous situation suddenly became clear. It just happened to be a fisherman's profit. He completed the mission and captured two gangs of illegal armed elements. This is the first time he has performed a mission. Is there a more powerful team than ours?" Thinking of this, I couldn't bear it. Can't help laughing.

"Don't be too optimistic, brother. In addition, there are three groups of people in our woods. Maybe who is the fisherman, and the mercenary still has our people, so he must not be harmed."

As we walked, we said that we soon entered the depths of the forest area, but it was just after twelve noon, and the forest was as dark as night. In addition to the darkness, a thin layer of mist was formed, although it was not very thick, but It definitely affects the viewing angle, and we dare not use lighting equipment. In order to avoid encountering traps, the four of us crawled slowly on the ground like dogs.

I didn't climb far when I heard a wolf howling. I didn't have the slightest mental preparation and almost jumped up like a corpse. I saw a few green light spots in the darkness not far in front of me. We encountered A pack of wolves.

All the hair on my body stood up nervously, and I subconsciously grabbed the Type [-] assault rifle on my chest, but Lei Zhen pressed my shoulder and said softly: "Don't act rashly, a full wolf will not be interested in people , we are all passers-by, don't provoke each other."

After all, the four of us quietly lay down on the snow, not daring to move. I kept thinking about God's blessing, and quickly let these beasts do what they should do. However, those wolves had no intention of leaving. The eyes are always staring motionlessly in the direction where we are.

Just when I was ready for the worst, I suddenly heard a deep voice saying: "Are you dying here? Walk quickly." The dark environment completely covered the speaker, we could only hear the voice, and we didn't know who he was. After saying this, the pack of wolves who had been standing still ran forward immediately, and the "creak, crunch" sound of snow being trampled continued to be heard in the darkness.

It took a long time for the sound of footsteps to disappear completely. Judging from this alone, what we just encountered is definitely a large number of wolves.

It is unbelievable that there are people living with a whole pack of wolves in this world, because wolves are not dogs, and wolves are the only wild beasts that cannot be domesticated among all mammalian wild animals, so even a circus that is good at taming ferocious beasts There is no place where wolves are raised, because it may launch a surprise attack on you at any time.

It seems that in addition to the four people in white gauze and carrying the red coffin, there must be another "werewolf raiser" in Lily.

"Brothers, I have an ominous premonition that if we continue to go deeper, we may be fucked." I whispered my worries.

"Do you have a tendency to be abused? Are you crazy?" Lu Yufan was obviously very uncomfortable with the word "explosive chrysanthemum", and was a little angry.

"I'm just expressing my concerns. It's up to everyone whether you listen or not. It doesn't count if I say the decision to retreat alone. Think about the four soldiers outside the forest. If it wasn't for special circumstances, why would they rather freeze?" Even if you die, you will not retreat."

"If you really want to talk about soldiers, you have to learn their spirit of preferring death to surrender."

Gou Changqing's words made me roll my eyes, and it took me a while to retort: ​​"I'm just a prisoner on death row. Is it so serious to be a human being?"

"If you did something wrong before, you should know how to atone. We are just four dead people. I think it's worth it to exchange for a living soldier."

This sentence is sonorous and powerful, and it also makes me feel ashamed. Lei Zhen quickly smoothed things over and said: "Now is not the time for debate. There are too many strange things in the forest. We can't split ourselves first."

"A person who only thinks about himself at critical moments is the same without him." Gou Changqing said mercilessly.

I don't say anything, after all, the reason is on the other side, but I feel a little strange, after experiencing the death penalty, why did the gang boss suddenly become a model worker who cares and loves comrades?
Perhaps in order to ease the tense atmosphere, Lu Yufan said: "Third brother, if you can use your tomb-robbing skills to show us a more peaceful path."

I said unhappily: "The most peaceful way is to go back. Are you sure that our missing comrades are on the way to retreat?"

As time goes by, the light in the woods is getting darker and the temperature is getting lower and lower, so we decided to find a safe place to rest, and then go on the road at dawn. I muttered to myself while chewing on tasteless compressed biscuits : "I ate roast pork, braised tenderloin, fried sea cucumber with scallions..."

"Third brother, please stop talking, the more I eat, the hungrier I become," Lu Yufan said.

I smiled and said, "You're not very promising, so you can swallow this kind of food? You can only imagine that what we are holding is a big chicken drumstick, which is sizzling and oily, and then sprinkle a handful of it. However, that fragrance..." Before I finished speaking, a strange fragrance suddenly poured into my nose.

I twitched my nose twice and said, "Is it my hallucination?"

Lei Zhen said in a low voice, "It's not a hallucination. Someone is baking food near us. It seems that we are going to meet those mercenaries." Hearing what he said, everyone packed up their equipment, Lu Yufan put on the night vision goggles, and we followed behind him. action.

Passing through the gap between several big trees, we came to a relatively open forest glade. The fragrance in the air became more and more intense, but Lu Yufan stopped and said, "Fuck, are these people crazy?"

"What did you see?" I whispered.

"It's safe here, turn on the flashlight and see for yourself."

The surrounding area was really quiet and there was no sound at all, only the crackling sound of the dead branches burning. After confirming that it was safe, I lit a flashlight, and with a beam of snow-white light shot out, I clearly saw A huge brown bear carcass was hung on the grill. Its body was still steaming. Below it was a pile of burnt charcoal fire, and the dripping fat made a "sizzling" sound.

I couldn't help but exclaimed: "I've heard of roast suckling pig and roast whole lamb. Today, I really opened my eyes. There are still people who rely on whole bears." When we were in the dark area, we suddenly saw a face that was as pale as death. His eyes were only white, without pupils, and he stared at us stubbornly.

The most terrifying thing is that there are two heads on his neck, one of which is actually a skull.
