Chapter 231

Today is Christmas, and my friends invited me to hang out with them, but I remember that I don’t have any friends. What’s going on?

Maybe I was dreaming, I turned over in bed thinking this, but the alarm beside me suddenly rang, it turned out to be the alarm clock to celebrate Christmas.

I got up from the bed, and the sky outside suddenly changed from black to white, as if it was daybreak. It was strange, if the sky was still black just now, it should be very early now.

I checked the time. The alarm had set to 6am, but it was now showing 8am.

I got up from the bed and I felt that I needed to start washing up now, but when I finished washing up, I looked at the time and it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.

I picked up my phone and found a missed call. I was wondering whether to call back when the phone shook and rang again. This time it was not an alarm, but a phone ringtone.

I checked the phone number and saw that it was the same number as the missed call. Maybe the person who called was the same. I hesitated for a moment and then picked up the phone.

"I thought you were fast asleep. Even though you said yesterday that you wanted to have a good rest, I didn't expect you to be still asleep at this hour."

"What do you want from me?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I came to talk to you about something. We are going to go out and play. You can come with us. The car is very wide and big, and it can accommodate everyone."

"Where are you going to play?"

"You can go anywhere.

However, this time we are going to go somewhere farther away, so it definitely won’t be in the city, maybe to the suburbs or somewhere further out.

Don't worry, it definitely won't be the countryside. The countryside is too boring, we don't know what the hygiene is like, and we are unfamiliar with the place. We won't go there.

What if your life is in danger there? You might even die before being found. Isn't that right? That would be terrible."

"Have you decided where to stay?"

"We have not only booked a place to stay, we have also booked rooms, restaurants, and an amusement park. We just need to go and have fun. Are you really not going? It's fun to play together."

"So when are you leaving?"

“It’s today.

If you come here alone, you may not know the way. Let me come to find you. How about I drive to the downstairs of your building?

I have my own car, I will drive to pick you up, and then we will get on the big car together and go to the destination together. Don't worry, you won't get lost.

If you agree, I will be downstairs of your house right now."

"Okay then, I'll wait for you downstairs now, you drive downstairs to pick me up, and we'll go play together.

How long will it take?"

"One day and one night is too boring, so everyone said we should play for three days and two nights. If you have a lot of fun, you can extend it. You have money, right?"

"good."

I agreed.

When I got downstairs, my friend's car was already waiting for me. I didn't expect him to be so fast.

I got in the car and asked him how come we arrived so quickly. He said he had been waiting for me downstairs.

Because he knew I would definitely say yes.

I felt like I was being placed on the table as a dessert.

Weird.

But he smiled at me, gave me a bag of snacks and asked me to eat them in the car. Suddenly, I felt that it didn’t matter since we were just going to have fun.

It's not like I'm going to die.

My friend took me to meet other friends, and we got on a big car, singing and swaying towards our destination.

The car suddenly stopped halfway. After checking, the driver said that it had stalled and needed to be repaired by a professional before it could continue moving forward.

Everyone found this episode annoying, but there was nothing they could do. Someone took out some food and planned to have a picnic on the spot, which might put everyone in a better mood.

Everyone thought this was a good idea and started to make arrangements, but a thick fog blew over, followed by a strong wind.

Everyone thought that strong winds would blow away the fog, but this turned out not to be the case.

The driver was gone, but the car was still there, but it still didn't get better. Some of the people were gone, while others were sitting there screaming.

Because they realize that this trip may not be as happy as they imagined.

People started arguing and split into two groups.

Some said they should stay where they were, while others said they should walk around because the fog was clearly not what they had just seen.

Those who were about to leave said they must have been carried away to another place by the strong wind and heavy fog.

The people on the other side thought this statement was alarmist and did not believe it.

My friend and I planned to follow the group that left, and as we walked, we came to a big mountain.

The mountain is tall and majestic, with many lush green trees.

"Are we really going in now?"

My friend asked others.

I stand by my friend.

Those people discussed with each other and found that half of the people were missing on the road they were walking on, and they became a little panicked.

"We have to go in now. It was still daylight when we arrived. If we delay any longer, it might be dark. It will be more dangerous inside when it's dark. How can we get in?

If we were to go back the same way, we would definitely be looked down upon by those people.

Do you want them to laugh at you and say that all your choices were wrong?"

A man in red shouted.

The people around him looked at each other, sighed, nodded, and planned to follow him into the mountains.

Of course my friend and I followed in without hesitation.

A woman in blue clothes walked slower and slower, and when she was at the end she suddenly sprained her ankle, sat on the ground, fell to the end of the team, and started shouting.

"I sprained my ankle and I can't walk. How can I follow you? What should I do? Is there anyone who can help me?"

The woman in blue shouted.

A woman in yellow clothes came over and helped her up.

"I'll take you with me, so stop shouting. Save your energy so you can climb the mountain, or you'll end up lying on the ground halfway, and no one will be willing to carry you."

The woman in yellow said to the woman in blue.

The woman in blue nodded quickly and stood up with the help.

There are fewer and fewer people.

When we got deeper into the mountain, there were only five people left.

The woman in blue and the woman in yellow, the man in red and my friend, and me.

"Do you feel how they disappeared?"

My friend asked me.

"I don't know. If I knew, maybe I wouldn't be here."

I replied.

"That's true."

My friend nodded.

Suddenly someone shouted in the mountains.

All five of them heard shouts for help.

"Should we go look for someone? It sounds like there are a lot of people."

my friend asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the countless shouts died down, leaving only one.

"It sounds like the person shouting for help is not one of ours."

The woman in yellow said.

"Whether they are ours or not, whether they are human or not, I don't want to look for them. My ankle is sprained. I can't walk that fast, that far, or that much. I am so tired that I am broken.

If any of you want to go find it, go find it yourself. I'm not going anyway."

The woman in blue was holding the woman in yellow tightly.

"You don't have to go either, okay? They might want to harm us, but as long as we stay together, they can't do anything to us. If you stay with me, we'll both be safe.

You are running out of energy. Don't follow them. They are big and strong, and they don't care about us when they walk. If they get lost, we will be alone.

Isn't this a common thing in horror movies? Whoever is left alone will die. I don't want to be alone, and neither do you. Why don't we go home alive and well? "

The woman in blue asked the woman in yellow.

The woman in yellow hesitated and nodded.

"Well, I'll stay with you. You just sit here and rest. We'll wait for them to come back, if they are willing to come back."

The woman in yellow said to the woman in blue.

The woman in blue was very grateful. She nodded repeatedly and kept saying thank you.

The two of them sat down.

The man in red looked at me and my friend.

"What do you two think?"

asked the man in red.

"I want to find someone, what about you?"

I looked at my friend and asked.

My friend said, "Then I'll follow you. We are friends."

My friend and I nodded and looked at the man in red.

"That's great. I'm going to look for someone too. Let's go together. It'll be safer this way."

The man in red clothes said this and walked out.

He led the way, and my friend and I followed behind him, walking on the mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The road here is a little wet, as if it had rained a little not long ago. If you are not careful, you will slip.

"Look, my watch isn't moving."

While walking on the road, my friend poked my shoulder and said to me with interest.

"I noticed the other day that you look like a very energetic Samoyed."

I glanced at his watch and replied.

The man in red in front of us suddenly took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and said to us with a serious expression: "Time has stopped."

The man in red and my friend both looked at me, obviously asking me to take out my phone so they could compare.

"No need to look, you have confirmed it, what else do you want me to see? I trust you, okay?"

I yelled.

The two of them looked at each other and nodded.

I almost thought their next move would be to pin me to the ground, tie me up, and then perform an exorcism on me, but they stood by calmly and did nothing of the kind.

I had to say to my friend sourly: "You two have such a good understanding. If someone didn't know you, they would think you two were just friends. How long have you known each other?"

My friend laughed, put his arm around my shoulders and patted me on the shoulder. "We just met today, right? Of course you're the one I've known the longest. Don't say such things over such a small matter, as if we don't have any friendship today at all."
