Chapter 032 The Edge of Collapse

I looked around the camp before and after, and it was no different from when I left. It seems that no one but me has come back until now.

I felt very hungry. I went to the tent to find two compressed biscuits and sat there to chew. I felt very wronged and desolate, as if the whole world had abandoned me, and I was weak and impulsive to cry.

After eating, I shouted around a few times. All I answered was the sound of birds, and I looked around the forest around the camp until noon, but I still didn't see anyone.

When I return to the camp again, I don't think it's a way to go on like this. Zhou Huanliang and Liangzi are many people and have advanced weapons. It should not be possible to be destroyed by the whole army in any danger. There must be some reason why they didn't come back. The most I should do is wait here...

Thinking of this, I felt a little more comfortable, so I quickly collected firewood everywhere. In case they haven't come back after dark, it's definitely impossible not to make a fire.

Every half an hour or so, I will shout around the camp and comfort myself that if they are lost, they can be found when they hear my shouting.

After collecting firewood that was estimated to burn overnight, I went to find a few flashlight and a longer dagger, and then sat on the mound next to the bonfire and began to be in a daze.

I recalled the experience of going to the mountain this time.

Wild boar herds, piranhas, inexplicable attacks, shouts of others, and the weirdo with a big cake face still feel clueless after thinking about it, and nothing is reasonable.

It seems that the big cake face must have saved me last night, but why did he knock me unconscious? Who will he be? Why do I have someone to help me every time I encounter danger, and who else will those scream?

This series of question marks made my head big. I simply closed my eyes and rested for a while. Thinking that if they didn't come back at night, I would have to watch the night alone until dawn to make up for it was dark.

When I woke up, the sun had set. I got up and shouted again but there was no reply. I began to be slowly nervous. Before dark, I lit the bonfire. After eating something, I began to look around with a flashlight and a dagger in the other.

As the sky gradually became dark, my tension began to increase. Soon I found a strange phenomenon. This deep forest looked nothing strange during the day. The worms and birds sang were also very harmonious.

But after dark, it seems that all the creatures have fallen asleep. Except for the faint wind, there is really no sign of life, which makes people particularly panic.

Thinking of the danger I encountered last night, I didn't dare to shout after dark. It was horrible to look in either direction, as if there would be a strange hand reaching out to catch me at any time.

As time passed, I felt that I was about to collapse. At this time, I especially miss the time when there were many people. Even if there was a puppy in me, I could feel much more at ease. I don't know what happened to Liang Zi. Did he chase them last week? He sweated for him.

Although I'm very scared now, it's particularly easy for a person to feel sleepy when sitting quietly like this, and I feel that my eyelids are getting heavier and heavier. In the end, I still can't help sleeping...

When I woke up, I found that it was dawn and the bonfire in front of me had gone out. I didn't encounter any danger, but no one had come back in the camp.

After standing up and shouting like a few programs, he began to repeat yesterday's work. In this way, it was like a walking corpse, and it seemed that he was not so afraid over time.

Day by, I almost wanted to give up several times. Do I think I should go back along the river and ask someone to help? They haven't come back for so many days, and there is still some possibility of survival?

I didn't encounter any danger for so many days. I also relaxed my vigilance. As usual, I shouted a few times to the surroundings and prepared to eat and then watch the night. However, when I came back from shouting and just lit a bonfire, I suddenly felt that a tent seemed to have moved, just after a moment. He returned to normal and stared at it for a while without any reaction. I thought that I was beginning to have hallucinations.

Just as I was about to continue to add some firewood, I heard a slight 'sounding, crashing sound'. A spirit looked up and saw one of the tents shaking gently there.

I was so scared that I immediately began to get nervous. I quickly held the dagger and flashlight in my hand and walked towards the tent little by little, constantly thinking: "My own people, my own people must have come back."

After walking halfway, the shaking stopped again. At this time, my palms were full of sweat, and I didn't dare to step forward again. I shouted at the tent, "Oh, who's in there..."

After waiting for a while, I didn't see an answer. Then I took a few steps forward and shouted, "Who is it? Is it Liangzi? Don't scare me!" There is still no reply.

This feeling almost drove me crazy. I wanted to go there but I didn't dare, but it was not a way to stand so stupid, so I gritted my teeth and prepared to go in and have a look.

I raised my dagger and gently came to the tent. I found that the curtain of the tent was hanging down, and I couldn't see it clearly with a flashlight. I trembled and just wanted to lift the curtain, and I heard a 'bang' that the curtain was lifted, and then a shadow rushed out and knocked me directly to the ground.

This time was so sudden that I was pressed under my body and shouted, and I wanted to take the dagger to prick it. Seeing that the shadow didn't care about me, it jumped directly from me and ran towards the bonfire.

I quickly got up and looked in the direction of the bonfire. I was stunned just by a glance and couldn't believe my eyes...

Because what I saw was not a demon and monster, and even made me feel more horrible than a ghost. I found that this shadow was actually a team member in Zhou Huan's team who was called Xiaowu. His clothes were as torn as rags, and his whole body was a mess, except for the thick soil, which was covered with blood.

What makes me feel more cautious is that Xiaowu is now squatting around the bonfire, holding a compressed biscuit in his hands, chewing with a particularly exaggerated mouth, and staring straight at the fire in front of him.

"Xiao Wu, is it Xiao Wu?" I asked weakly.

He is still chewing biscuits, as if he didn't hear me at all.

At this time, I was a little anxious and shouted, "Xiao Wu, what are you doing? Where are the people and the others?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw him jump up, throw away the biscuits in his hand and turn around and run to the woods behind the tent.

'Damn, what the hell.' I didn't have much time to think about it, so I got up and chased after it.

Because the sky was not completely dark, and I held a flashlight, I vaguely saw Xiao Wu running around in the forest like crazy and brainless. I didn't dare to neglect it. While chasing, I shouted, "Why are you running? I'm Qiu Ye, it's Qiu Ye..."

He was as if he couldn't hear me shouting. He ran ahead desperately. I also risked my life. He survived alone for so many days. It was not easy to meet a team member and couldn't let him run away.

I followed Xiaowu up a small hillside and went around again. I haven't been to this place. When I was considering whether I would get lost after chasing down, I saw the figure of Xiaowu in front of me and disappeared...

What's the situation? I quickly chased to see what was going on, but I didn't think that there was a pit here. I was not prepared at all and fell in directly.

The pit was inclined downward and slid in more than ten meters before it stopped. I didn't care whether I was injured or not. When I saw the flashlight falling not far away and lit up, I quickly picked it up and took photos everywhere.

I feel that this cave should not be man-made. It looks like the nest of some beast, with a smell and unpleasant smell. The walls of the cave are very irregular everywhere, and some various tree roots are exposed.

This hole is not very high and can't stand up at all. I squatted down and rubbed it step by step. The more I went in, the worse the smell became. After a certain distance, the space seemed to be taller, and I could bend down and move forward.

I walked boldly for a while and found something like a spider web in front of me, wrapped around the messy roots of the trees. I reached out and felt sticky, and I didn't know what it was.

I began to get nervous while holding the dagger. Is it possible that this is a spider hole? If that's the case, I guess the spider will definitely not be small. When I was thinking about whether to go out, I faintly heard the sound of "woo, woo-woo" from the depths of the hole, as if someone was humming somewhere.

Although I was scared, I still decided to go in and have a look. In case our team members are injured and trapped, I will regret it when I go out now.

Continue to walk in, and the space has become more spacious. I can walk upright. As the sound shines, I see that it is indeed Xiao Wu. He squatted on the ground and trembles all over his body, saying something 'wooning'.

I quickly ran over and helped him and asked, "Xiao Wu, what are you running for? What's going on? What happened to the others?"

Xiao Wu still didn't pay attention to me. I listened carefully and felt that he seemed to say again: "All, all dead... all dead..."

I felt that his eyes were particularly helpless, as if he had been greatly stimulated, but he stared straight in one direction.

I turned around and took a flashlight. After seeing it clearly, I was almost scared and broke down. In this seemingly 180-square-meter underground space, it was covered with white silk threads. Some were round, flat, and some were exactly the same as the human body shape, but it was full of mesh things, and I couldn't see it at all. What's inside?

I came to a hanging human figure and scraped those silk threads with the dagger in my hand. It was very sticky. As I scraped, I prayed, "God bless, don't be our people, don't be Liangzi, don't be Zhou Huan..."

Although I was absolutely psychologically prepared, I couldn't help taking a few steps back when the human face appeared.

Yes, this is really a corpse wrapped in it. When it was illuminated by a flashlight, I saw that the man's face was extremely pale, his mouth was open, and his eyes were wide open. Obviously, he was suffocated to death. He was pushed by me with a dagger and oscillating back under the light of the flashlight. How horrible it was.
