"We're going straight to where the weird stuff is happening."
As soon as he got on the bus, Gu Mingtai explained to everyone on the bus.
Soon, the military truck followed the car in front for nearly half an hour before stopping.
At this moment, the place where they were standing was exactly at the foot of the mountain where the strange incident happened.
At this time, the middle-aged man came over again, looking worried. "Everyone, I'm leaving this matter to you. You must find out what's going on with this mountain. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will die from this mountain."
Ye Shiping asked in confusion, "How could someone die? Can't you stop them from going there?"
The middle-aged man glanced at him and sighed deeply, "You think we didn't do that? But I don't know what's wrong with those people. When we're not paying attention, some of them will sneak up on us. I don't know if they're possessed by some evil spirit. They won't listen to any warnings."
Zhang Meng glanced at the mountain, then quietly walked over to Gu Mingtai and whispered, "Gu Mingtai, it's really as the mountain spirit said. There's a lot of resentment on this mountain. I guess those people couldn't help but climb up this mountain. It must be the resentment that's causing trouble in this area."
"To be honest, it's not just the villagers nearby who don't listen to advice. Sometimes even our staff guarding the mountaintop will secretly go up the mountain. We've lost several staff members because of this incident." The middle-aged man sighed and looked sad.
After listening to Zhang Meng's explanation, Gu Mingtai immediately interrupted the middle-aged man and said, "He Shi, we want to go up this mountain to check the situation above."
When He Shi heard this, panic flashed across his face. "How can we not go up there? It's really evil up there. No one who goes there will come down alive. You guys shouldn't go. Just wait here and find a way to solve it."
After hearing what he said, Gu Mingtai immediately raised his hand to interrupt him, "He Shi, I know you are doing this for our own good, but if we don't go up and find out what's going on, we can't help you."
After hearing this, He Shi showed a conflicted expression on his face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded in agreement. "Okay then. Be careful. This mountain is really scary."
Gu Mingtai nodded and immediately looked at Ye Shiping and the others. "Divide into two groups. One group will stay here and wait for orders. The other group will come with me up the mountain to investigate."
Following his order, Ye Shiping and Wang Qingliu both raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to go up together.
Gu Mingtai glanced at the two of them and said, "Ye Shiping, you stay here and guard."
"Boss, I want to go too." Ye Shiping shouted with a look of dissatisfaction.
Gu Mingtai immediately shouted at him with a serious face, "Comrade Ye Shiping, this is an order. You are a soldier, and soldiers must obey orders. Do you hear me?"
Ye Shiping's face turned red and white, and he finally responded in a muffled voice, "I understand. I obey."
After explaining the situation, Gu Mingtai and his group quickly walked towards the mountain.
Just as they were climbing the mountain, before they had gone very far, someone pointed at a big tree and shouted, "Captain Gu, come over and take a look."
This shout immediately attracted everyone to gather around.
As the couple approached the big tree, they found several human skins hanging next to the tree.
"These should be the missing villagers." After looking around, Gu Mingtai said with a serious face.
"Captain Gu, who is so terrible that he actually peeled off a person's face?" A young soldier said with a pale face.
Gu Mingtai looked around and slowly explained to them, "This place is filled with resentment. Once a person dies here, their spirit will remain here, corroded by this resentment. Even a good spirit will become an evil spirit if it is corroded by this resentment for a long time. These human faces must have been the work of the evil spirits on this mountain. Be careful, everyone, and don't fall behind."
After hearing his explanation, everyone present was extremely nervous.
After looking at these human skins, the group continued walking towards the mountain.
Not long after they started walking, the sky above them suddenly darkened.
"What's going on? It was daytime just now, how come it suddenly got dark?" Someone asked in confusion, looking at the night sky above his head.
The sky suddenly darkened and everyone became nervous.
"Gu Mingtai, it seems that this mountain is no longer a normal mountain. We seem to have come to a ghost space." Zhang Meng quietly walked to Gu Mingtai's ear and whispered.
Gu Mingtai didn't say anything, but just gently shook her hand. Then he immediately turned around to comfort his men around him, "Don't panic, let's find a place to rest first."
Finally, everyone found a place on the mountain suitable for temporary camping.
Under Gu Mingtai's command, everyone quickly moved from panic to completing the task at hand excellently.
In the quiet, dark night, everyone gathered around a fire and ate the dry food they brought with them.
"Tonight we will be divided into three groups to take turns on night watch. When it is your turn, be alert. If there is any disturbance, you are not allowed to act on your own and must report to me. Do you hear me?" After eating the dry food, Gu Mingtai began to assign tasks.
In the first half of the night, everything was quiet and nothing happened.
In the second half of the night, it was Zhang Meng, Gu Mingtai and a young soldier's turn to keep watch together.
Not long after they started keeping watch, Zhang Meng realized that the young soldier who was keeping watch with them this time was quite a chatterbox.
