Chapter 051 Mid-mountain Highway
Zhou Huan obviously did not expect such an accident. Captain Blackface had a vital position in this operation, and now he suddenly lost his memory, which is a very serious blow to Zhou Huan.
She listened to my question, looked back at the black face, and then said to me, "This task is very important to me. After experiencing so many dangers, so many people have died here, and I will definitely not give up."
What Zhou Huan said was very resolute. I suddenly felt like the Eight Rings in Journey to the West. As soon as the master was arrested, he wanted to divide his luggage.
At this time, I will definitely not let her go by herself, so I said with a wry smile, "Well, since you have decided, let's continue to go, but what about the captain?"
Zhou Huan smiled bitterly at me gratefully and said, "He hasn't been hurt. There should be no problem in action. Now there are only a few of us left, so we can only take them together."
"Who do you think will make him like this? Will it be Zhang Zhuang's team?"
"No, Zhang Zhuang himself is in trouble. It's impossible. Besides, even if the flower shirt is better to reach out, it is impossible for the captain to fight back."
"Is it possible that there are other teams in this mountain besides Zhang Zhuang?"
"I don't know, but it seems that this person may be friends and not enemies, so we don't have to worry too much. With the skills of that mysterious man, if we had wanted to do it, we would not have waited until now at all. I guess he just wanted to stop something and didn't want our lives."
I think Zhou Huan's analysis is reasonable, and I feel much more relieved. We discussed it for a while and decided to spend the night here tonight and wait until dawn to officially climb the mountain.
Back to the black face and Liang Zi, I saw that the black face had already lie down and fell asleep. Liang Zi shrugged his shoulders at me, indicating that he was helpless.
In addition to the black face, the three of us changed shifts and vigil. I guarded the first shift, Liang Zi second, and finally Zhou Huan.
Everyone was exhausted from the previous toss. They packed up and lay down to rest. After a while, Liangzi snored.
After so many things, I was not as scared as before. I lit a cigarette and sat down to see the skeleton grass. I felt particularly doubtful and sighed.
I really can't figure out what happened in this mountain. What happened along the way is too weird. Nothing can make me fully understand.
Spiders, insect forests, gossip ancient houses, super giant insects, Zhang Zhuang disappeared, skeleton grass, corpse-eating moths, driving away our ghost children, and finally the black face that lost their memory.
All this has gone through is too strange. According to common sense, nothing should have happened, but it has really been encountered by me.
Although I don't understand the purpose of Zhou Huan's trip, I can be sure that something very important must have been found in this mountain. Only in this way can we explain the strange things we have encountered.
I smoked and analyzed hard for a long time, and finally found that I still had no clue. I looked at the few left in the cigarette box. I thought that I didn't know how many days it would take to go back, so I was reluctant to smoke. Since I couldn't figure it out, I simply didn't think about it anymore. There must be a way to get to the mountain. Where is my road?
sighed for a while. Looking at the watch, it was already in the middle of the night. I went to push Liangzi a few times and wanted him to take over the shift, but he had no intention of waking up. I guess he was also tired. In addition, the soles of his feet were injured, so I didn't call him again. I supported two more. Then Zhou Huan woke up.
When she saw that the night watchman was still me, she understood what was going on. She smiled bitterly and asked me to rest. I didn't want a woman to watch the night alone, but when I thought of climbing the mountain tomorrow, I was not polite. I yawned and lay in Zhou Huan's original place. I was immediately sleepy and soon fell asleep. In the past.
One night was safe. When I woke up the next day, I found that everyone else had woken up before me.
Zhou Huan was checking our equipment, and his black face was still in a daze alone, while Liang Zi was sitting on the ground checking his foot injury.
I came to Liangzi to check and found that the wound on the sole of his foot had a scab. I guess it's not a big problem. It seems that Zhou Huan's medicine is still relatively effective. As long as you walk carefully, there should be no problem.
I saw that Liangzi had nothing to do and came to Zhou Huan again. I saw that she divided the equipment into three parts. Liangzi's backpack was full of ropes, engineering shovels and some related tools. Most of my backpack is full of food and drinking water, while Zhou Huan's bag contains some weapons and ammunition.
Seeing that I didn't seem to understand, Zhou Huan said with a smile, "This is the most standard distribution method. Liang Zi is physique and strong, but he is too greedy, so these heavy tools are let him carry. You are more careful, but you lack attack ability, so the food is given to you. Now the captain has lost his memory, and he is sure It's me, so I carry the weapons and ammunition, do you understand?"
Although what she said made me very uncomfortable, it was indeed very reasonable. She gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are awesome", and then went back to tie a bandage for Liangzi.
After everyone packed it up, I took my backpack and looked at it. I saw that there were more than a dozen bags of compressed biscuits, some chocolate and beef jerky, and a few bottles of drinking water. I guess it would save three to eat. It should not be a big problem for four days, so we took out some food for everyone for breakfast. After eating, we officially climbed the mountain.
Although the black face doesn't remember us, it seems to be better with Liang Zi. Although he lost his memory, he seems to understand very well. Unexpectedly, he knew that he was very embarrassed to support Liang Zi and thanked Liang Zi.
Zhou Huan and I walked in front, followed by Liang Zi and black face. We couldn't see far when we looked up in the forest. Although the mountain was relatively steep, fortunately, we could grab the tree trunk hard, and it was not difficult to walk.
This seems to be a little like mountaineering and traveling, and everyone is obviously in a much better mood. Liang Zi has been nagging at the black face, and I don't know if the black face can understand it.
We rest for ten minutes every hour forward. At the beginning, we feel better. Our eyes are slowly green. The trees on this mountain seem to look the same, and our eyes feel particularly painful after looking at them for a long time.
I didn't look around anymore. The four people kept climbing up like this. Nothing changed all morning, and there was no accident.
At noon, we found a slightly flat place to stop eating and rest. Our clothes had already been soaked in sweat, and it was particularly dirty, and a bad smell came out.
When people are tired, they are particularly sleepy when they eat something, but at this time they can't sleep. After they are full, they rest for a while and continue to climb up.
After moving forward for more than an hour, the environment began to change. First of all, the temperature dropped a little, and then a layer of fog slowly appeared in the forest.
At this time, I remembered that when I was still by the river at the foot of the mountain, and the sky was clear at that time, but when I observed this mountain, I found that the mountainside was all shrouded in dark clouds, as if it had been inserted into the sky. I guess we have climbed to a position covered by dark clouds now.
It's really good. The higher the fog, the thicker the fog becomes, and the vision begins to blur. Finally, I can only see the distance of about ten meters in front of me. It feels like entering a fairyland.
After so many things, of course, I won't regard this place as a fairyland. I thought to myself: I won't be more comfortable, as long as I'm not particularly haunted, thank God.
Without the black-faced captain to lead the team, Zhou Huan seemed to be much more stressed. She actually hung the gun in front of her early, which was probably convenient to raise a gun and shoot at any time.
I looked back at Liang Zi and the black face. I saw that Liang Zi also hung the gun on his waist like Zhou Huan. The black face did not change at all and held Liang Zi silently.
I felt very comforted when I saw that the two brothers were doing well. After everyone continued to walk up for more than an hour, the fog became very thick. Although there was no need to turn on the flashlight, the line of sight was only a few meters left.
We were afraid of falling out. Zhou Huan and I waited for a while and sandwiched the beam and black face in the middle. As we walked, I suddenly found a change in front of our eyes, and the trees seemed to suddenly disappear.
When we thought that the thick fog had completely covered the line of sight, we found that our feet suddenly stepped on the flat ground, and then all our bodies stood up straight.
Looking up, I strangely found that there was a road built along the mountain halfway up the mountain.
I remember that when I was in that river and mountain village, the old man once said that there was a highway on the mountain. At that time, he thought he was deliberately exaggerating, but he didn't expect that this road really existed.
I let Liang Zi and Blackface rest in place, and then went to check the road with Zhou Huan. I took a few steps forward and squatted down to see and found that the road was very flat, and the width was estimated to pass through three trucks side by side. Except for not laying asphalt and cement, it was no different from the road we usually saw.
This road has obviously been abandoned for a long time, and the ground of gravel and soil has been covered with a layer of moss and other plants, which looks a little strange and cautious in this thick fog.
I am very puzzled that this project looks not small. Who will build this road halfway up the mountain? What is its purpose?
Zhou Huan and I checked around and found nothing abnormal except this road. On the way back, I asked her, "Have you recorded this road in the information you collected?"
Zhou Huan seemed to be thinking about something. He frowned and replied after a while, "I only know that there should have been some projects here, but I didn't expect it to be a highway."
At this time, I suddenly remembered the bones buried in the grass. Could it be that those people were arrested to build the road? But where did the road lead to and why did those people die in the end?
I told Zhou Huan what I thought, and she also felt it was possible, but these guesses are of little practical significance to us now. After walking back and reconverging, we began to move towards the right side of the highway.
The ground is full of mossy plants, and it is soft. Although it is very easy to walk, it makes people feel very uncomfortable and the visibility is very low. I began to slowly get nervous.
No one said anything, just walked side by side along the road. Gradually, I felt that the road began to show a slight slope, and I guess it should be built on a mountain.
Originally, I thought that the end of the road would not be too far, and something like architecture would appear soon, but I didn't expect that it would be a long road.
We walked all afternoon, and the road under our feet did not change at all, but the sight was getting darker and darker, and it was estimated that it was going to be dark.
