The four words - shut-in, fair-skinned, short, and weak - perfectly describe Mo Shuwan.
Until one day, she boarded the mysterious dimensional bus and gained a group of变态 teammates...
Th...
At this moment, Yang Zhou was talking to Mo Shuwan about this matter, "Captain, although the temperature here is low, these dinosaurs have been dead for two whole days, but their bodies are still intact, which feels too strange."
Mo Shuwan frowned. "I understand. Let's rest first."
Yang Zhou wanted to say something more, but noticing that Mo Shuwan seemed a little tired, he nodded and swallowed the rest of his words.
After Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo returned, the passengers finally felt more at ease, even though the eerie atmosphere from the previous night reappeared as darkness fell. At least with so many people gathered here, they dared to speak and communicate loudly.
Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo sat around a fire with the other passengers, listening quietly to their conversation.
"Captain, we're not exaggerating, but this place was really eerie last night. This primeval forest is so big, it can't be that only dinosaurs survived here, but last night we didn't hear a single sound. The sounds of birds, beasts, and insects were completely nonexistent."
When this topic came up, Cai Zhongqi and the others subconsciously lowered their voices again.
Mo Shuwan pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Wen Zuo instead of answering immediately. "Did you encounter this situation last night when you were on night watch? I didn't."
Wen Zuo also shook his head.
After this exchange, Cai Zhongqi and the others felt a chill run down their spines, and their voices trembled as they spoke, "So, this is only the place where we are now?"
"I'm afraid so."
Suddenly, only the crackling of the burning flames remained between them, the silence unsettling. Lu Xingkai forced a smile, but couldn't hide the fear in his eyes. "What are we still standing there for! Let's get out of here!"
"I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Mo Shuwan rejected the suggestion again, and apart from Yang Zhou and Qi Hao, the other veteran passengers were getting impatient. "Captain, what are we waiting for now! It will be too late if something really happens!"
"Yes, let's hurry up and go before it gets completely dark."
Mo Shuwan silently threw a few branches into the fire, and only spoke after Lu Xingkai and the others had finished speaking, "You all received the messages I sent you before, right?"
The excited group was rendered speechless by Mo Shuwan's casual remark, their faces turning red. Just as they were about to bring up the topic of leaving again, Yang Zhou, who had been silent all along, spoke up first, "I received them all. I've also walked around this area these past two days, but I probably didn't dare to go too far, so I didn't find the plant you mentioned in your message."
"Well, it's good that you didn't find anything."
Yang Zhou glanced at Mo Shuwan's face and, seeing that she was calm, dared to guess, "Captain, you had a very dangerous night last night, didn't you?"
As soon as Yang Zhou asked this question, everyone's attention turned to Mo Shuwan. No one was anxious to leave anymore; everyone wanted to know if Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo had encountered anything terrible while spending the night outside.
"It's alright." The veteran passengers breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then they heard her say, "However, there was a plant that tried to eat us in the middle of the night, but it was discovered in advance, so nothing bad happened."
The passengers shuddered slightly: "..."
After a moment, Cai Zhongqi hesitated before speaking, "Okay, it seems safer here than outside, right?"
Mo Shuwan glanced around and saw that everyone was nodding. She smiled and said, "But we can't let our guard down. Don't take any chances. There is no place in this world that is completely safe."
After talking with Mo Shuwan, the old passengers gave up the idea of leaving overnight, and their spirits, which had been relaxed because of Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo's return, tightened up again.
If the regular passengers don't make a move, it's even less likely that the new passengers will leave.
After traveling all day, Mo Shuwan exchanged messages with Wen Zuo for a while, then yawned, leaned on Wen Zuo's shoulder, closed her eyes, and prepared to take a nap before getting up to relieve Wen Zuo on night watch.
Seeing that Wen Zuo didn't intend to sleep, Cai Zhongqi quickly volunteered, "Wen Zuo, you should get some sleep too. I've had enough sleep today. I'll keep watch."
Wen Zuo gently shook his head.
Cai Zhongqi wanted to persuade him further, but Yang Zhou, who was sitting next to him, reached out and pulled him back. The words he was about to say suddenly changed, "What are you doing?"
"Stop talking and let the captain rest."
Upon hearing this, Cai Zhongqi glanced at Mo Shuwan, who was sleeping against Wen Zuo, and swallowed his words, thinking to himself, "I was just trying to be helpful, why are you stopping me?"
Seeing that Cai Zhongqi was silent, Yang Zhou also shut his mouth, silently looking at the fire, thinking about how he could gain Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo's complete trust and become a partner they could support.
As Mo Shuwan and her group quieted down, the new passengers who had been chatting enthusiastically also fell silent one after another. Even those who were still talking kept their voices very low. Amid the crackling of the fire, their conversations could only be heard by those nearby.
A hundred miles away from Mo Shuwan and his group, the pungent smell of blood drew nearby dinosaurs and plants to the scene of the incident.
"Damn, we can't stay here anymore."
The masked woman, panting, turned to look at the young man beside her. "I told you long ago that this place has a lot of problems."
The young man snorted coldly, then abruptly pulled out a barb stuck in his arm. The hooked barb was pulled out, bringing with it bright red flesh, which made the young man's face twist for a moment. "What's the use of saying all this now? Go see if there are any left alive."
The masked woman didn't move, standing still and staring straight at the young man. "How can I be sure you won't attack me when my back is to you?"
The brief silence made the bloody, gore-filled scene even more eerie. After a moment, the young man moved his arm, from which he had just removed the barbs, and said, "I have no reason to lay a hand on you."
The masked woman didn't speak again, but stared at the young man for a long time. "Fine, I believe you."
After saying that, he walked directly into the pool of blood, quickly walked to his companion whose legs were sticking out of the grass, bent down, grabbed the ankle of one of the legs and pulled it out. The next moment, his temple twitched.
Because what she pulled out wasn't a whole person, but half a body. The person's upper body had completely disappeared. Strangely, the wound at the waist where it was broken was very neat, looking like it was man-made, but that was impossible. Both the masked woman and the young man knew that the murderer was not human.
The masked woman didn't linger long in front of the half-corpse; she quickly turned to find the next person, and as expected, all five died.
"They're all dead."
"Walk."
The two left without lingering and immediately departed from this horrific place. After they left, the once-deep earth suddenly began to ripple, and in less than five seconds, the land stained with blood returned to its original state, with no blood or corpses remaining.
