Chapter 219 Crisis
Lin Chuchu looked at the bed carefully.
A simple villager with gray hair on his temples lay quietly on it.
In doubt, the pair of eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened wide and stared straight at Lin Chuchu.
Wisps of black mist wrapped around the pupils, slowly wriggling as if they had life.
The black mist occupied most of the white of the eye, making the entire eye look extremely strange.
In the dead of night, Lin Chuchu stared into that pair of eyes for a long time.
After a while of stalemate, she raised the corners of her mouth, and a smile slowly bloomed on her cold face:
"Tell me, who are you?"
As soon as she spoke, a strange sound wave came over:
"A friend from another dimension."
"I can help you."
“We are the same people.”
Lin Chuchu's smile faded, "Who is the same as you?"
She saw it clearly. The villager on the bed didn't even move his lips, but a voice sounded in her ears:
"Come to me, become one with me, and you will be reborn."
The means of bewitching people are really exactly the same... It's strange to believe it!
"Are you a high-level alien?"
She took the opportunity to ask, "What's the purpose?"
"Alien? Alien is just a name given by you humans. Follow the instructions and you will know the answer."
Before he finished speaking, the controlled villagers had already closed their eyes, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Lin Chuchu was a little confused. They had gone to great lengths to get her here, but she just left after saying a few words?
She felt it over and over again, but where was the guidance?
How can she find it?
I even asked the system again without giving up, but got the same negative answer.
The clue is broken.
Lin Chuchu sighed and had to go back first.
He pushed the door open a gap of a body's length, slipped out, then immediately turned around and gently closed the door.
Before he could even let out a breath, a low voice suddenly came from behind:
"Don't move!"
Mixed in with the "click" sound of bullets being loaded.
This sound seemed to turn on a switch, and Lin Chuchu moved and turned quickly.
By the time the man reacted, he snatched the gun, elbowed him, and gently knocked him down by the shoulders of the unconscious man with both hands. The whole movement was smooth and without making any sound.
Finally, exhale the foul air from your mouth.
When I looked up, my eyes met the man who was leaning against the edge of the cabin.
Lin Chuchu: “…………”
Misunderstanding! What a misunderstanding!
Shen Xinglan was silent for a while, then slowly looked away, pretending not to see anything. He took a few quick steps and went around to the other side of the quarantine center.
"etc!"
Lin Chuchu bent down, pulled the unconscious person aside, and sat down. She put the gun she had taken back into the gun bag and chased after Shen Xinglan in the direction he left.
As soon as I turned, I was stopped by an arm.
"Don't move!"
Shen Xinglan looked around alertly before continuing his action.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Chuchu followed behind and asked in a low voice.
"Something personal."
"You want to investigate privately?!"
She was startled and grabbed the clothes of the person in front of her: "Are you crazy? Go alone!"
Shen Xinglan paused, turned back and stared into her eyes and said, "Assaulting a teammate is a serious crime. What are you going to do?"
Lin Chuchu's expression suddenly became unnatural.
"That was my reflex..."
"Stop changing the subject! Do you want to investigate privately?!"
"no."
Shen Xinglan suddenly attacked her.
Lin Chuchu was held down on the shoulders with almost no resistance, and her back hit the smooth deck surface.
A slight chill passed through the special protective plate and onto her back skin. She shuddered subconsciously: "You..."
Her darkening pupils reflected her stunned expression.
"Your conditioned reflex is different for different people?"
Shen Xinglan took back the arm that was holding her down, "Don't follow me anymore."
He did want to investigate the place where he had fainted before, but he couldn't tell Lin Chuchu about this as it was too dangerous.
"Of course it depends on the person! He's pointing a gun at me!"
"Maybe I am subconsciously afraid of death?"
Shen Xinglan's eyes flickered slightly. Is she afraid of death?
He had never seen anyone less fearless than her.
"Should we go investigate?"
Lin Chuchu followed behind, muttering, "Take me with you!"
Being rejected outright.
"no."
She grabbed his arm and said, "Why not?"
Shen Xinglan had no choice but to turn around, and with a slightly critical look, he spoke the truth:
"You don't have the stamina."
Lin Chuchu: “…”
It’s true!
But that's not a problem.
"I have information you don't know!"
Seeing that his expression had relaxed, Lin Chuchu raised the stakes, "Do you know why you were unconscious and how you woke up?"
"You don't know anything. It's useless for you to go there."
"I don't need to tell you how important intelligence is, right?"
Shen Xinglan looked at her thoughtfully.
Lin Chuchu doesn't have much time left, so she won't miss any clues that can be traced.
"Follow me first."
He turned and led the way.
The two climbed over the wall and left the camp, then walked along the path in the dark until they reached the end, where a black car was parked quietly by the roadside.
This was all arranged in advance!
Lin Chuchu asked in confusion: "Why didn't you report it? He Jiuran is not so stubborn, right?"
"What do you think we've been patrolling these past two days?"
Does that mean it's been checked?
Shen Xinglan opened the car door and said, "Get in!"
——
The surface of the winding plank road was wet with moisture, and the flashlight light reflected a watery glow on it.
After climbing just over fifty steps, Lin Chuchu couldn't bear it anymore and was panting like a cow.
Seeing the person in front of him stop, he said bravely between taking a breath: "I can do it, keep going."
Shen Xinglan walked down two steps in silence, put his hand under her armpits, and half-held her. "It's not far, we're almost there."
"………Thanks."
With the extra support, Lin Chuchu felt much better, at least she no longer had difficulty breathing.
At the end of the plank road, a huge black shadow dominated the entire field of vision, and light could not penetrate the thick fog outside.
"This... is this Bailongtan?"
Lin Chuchu tried hard to search for some scattered images from her memory, "Why is there such heavy fog in Bailongtan at night?"
She still remembered that she only thought the scenery here was unique, but she didn't expect it to be a little too creepy at night!
Everything in front of them was blurry and it would be easy for them to go astray if they were not careful.
She grabbed Shen Xinglan's sleeve to prevent them from getting lost.
Shen Xinglan responded to her: "It's quite foggy here during the day, it will be fine after we get through this area."
He took the opportunity to hold her hand that was holding her clothes.
Lin Chuchu raised the end of her eyebrows, a strange feeling flashed through her heart, and she let him lead the way.
After crossing Bailongtan, the fog gradually thinned and the road under our feet became narrower and narrower. The trees on both sides were very dense, and when the wind blew, there was a rustling sound.
Lin Chuchu shuddered and couldn't help but hold her hand tighter.
Shen Xinglan turned the flashlight and shone the beam towards a small mound not far away, reflecting half of the black hole.
"I was lying there when I was found."
The two of them came closer, and Lin Chuchu bent down to look inside the cave. She could see the end of it at a glance.
"So shallow?"
It looked nothing special, and I didn't sense any guiding force.
"And before that? Where else have you been?"
Shen Xinglan recalled:
"It was around here. I was tracking it at the time."
track?
Lin Chuchu took her phone and took pictures around the cave entrance, then began to circle around the mound:
"What are you chasing?"
As she spoke, she noticed that there were long and thin indentations among the weeds, and the grass surface reflected a little light. She squatted down and picked up a little on her fingertips. The sticky touch mixed with a fishy smell hit her nose.
Σ_(」∠) vomit
Lin Chuchu was choking and retching, and her shaking phone captured a pair of reflective red eyes.
!!!
She didn't dare to move and called out softly, "Shen Xinglan! Where are you?"
"Here, what's going on? What did you find?"
The sound of footsteps came from the other side of the mound. As soon as Shen Xinglan's fair face appeared, Lin Chuchu rushed over.
“Run!”
The black-striped snake hanging upside down on the branch spat out its blood core and "whoosh" - rushed behind the two of them, so fast that only a shadow was left.
In the chaos, Lin Chuchu relied on her foresight of danger to rush forward with her men and avoid the fatal blow.
The moment he lay on the ground, Shen Xinglan turned sideways and fired several shots.
With a "click", something fell into the haystack.
He was shot, I don't know if he is dead or not.
Lin Chuchu stood up quickly, trying not to hold back.
"It's a mutant, run!"
They didn't even look at the mutant who was shot, and ran back towards the path.
As we all know, snake species live in groups, and these gunshots might alert the snakes.
By then, a bunch of them will crawl out!
Lin Chuchu was shocked and ran while shouting, "Don't tell me that the tracking you mentioned before was about these things!"
Don’t want to die!
Shen Xinglan was holding her, trying to light up the direction while also keeping an eye on the road ahead, so he had no time to reply.
Because the fog near Bailongtan has become thicker.
"Chu Chu, hold on to me!"
Lin Chuchu nodded instinctively, panting heavily, her eyes almost blurry.
Suddenly, a familiar chanting sounded in her ears. She was in a trance for a moment and actually listened carefully.
After a moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong and came back to his senses.
She was like a stone thrown into a lake.
With a "gulp", the icy cold water immediately covered his head.
Lin Chuchu can't swim.
I could only flap around in the water, but it was like I was in a dense quagmire and I couldn't float up no matter what.
Soon her strength was exhausted and Lin Chuchu felt something wrapped around her ankles, dragging her to the bottom of the pool.
Her arms suddenly tightened, and then her armpits, and someone lifted her up...
The moment he surfaced, he came back to life.
Before he had finished spitting out the water, it was thrown onto his back.
Lin Chuchu was carried down the plank road.
Their car was parked at the entrance of the plank road.
After getting in the car, Shen Xinglan immediately started the car and turned on the heater.
"Can you hold on?"
She curled up in a ball in the back seat, "Yes, yes, yes, yes..."
It's too dangerous here, they can't stop here!
Shen Xinglan stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and only dared to stop by the roadside until he drove out of the mountain road, opened the back door, and checked on her condition.
"neat"
He squeezed in and grabbed her still shaking shoulders, and pushed the hair that was clinging to her face behind her ears, and asked softly,
"Is it getting better?"
Lin Chuchu shook her head and felt that the air she exhaled was cold.
She raised her eyes and looked at his handsome face.
"Your face is frozen white."
His amber eyes looked down at her, misty.
"I was scared."
I couldn’t imagine what would have happened to Lin Chuchu if he had discovered it a step later.
The two people's eyes intertwined silently.
From time to time, drops of water flowed down the ends of Shen Xinglan's hair, across her cheeks, into her collar, and disappeared.
I don’t know if it was because of the adrenaline rush during Speed or the environment.
Lin Chuchu suddenly wanted to kiss his lips.
This impulse kept rampaging in her chest, causing her blood to boil and her eyes to feel hot.
She just leaned forward a little with trembling eyelashes, and Shen Xinglan lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips gently.
It is as light as a feather passing by, and as soft as a cloud.
Lin Chuchu never thought that her lips would be so sensitive. Her breathing suddenly became disordered and her whole body was trembling.
The next second Shen Xinglan let her go.
"neat……"
His voice had long since become hoarse, and he thought she was shivering because she couldn't stand the cold.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that at this time..."
Lin Chuchu had already pulled down his neck and kissed his slightly pale lips again, making a silent invitation.
A light kiss is not enough to soothe a throbbing heart...
