Chapter 16 is A-level
"Why is there such a thick fog? I can't see anyone. Is there anyone there?"
"The weather forecast didn't mention heavy fog. Oh my god! Why is there so much fog? How are we going to get down the mountain later?"
"Director Wang, I can't make a call. Do you have a signal?"
"I have no signal on my phone."
“I don’t have any signal on my phone.”
"Are we entering a place filled with smog? I've never heard of heavy fog in Kongping Mountain."
Halfway up Kongping Mountain, fog was spreading. At first, you could see some human-shaped trees, but now no shadows can be seen at all.
Even the sound was intermittent, and the crew members panicked and quickly took out their cell phones to call the police.
The fog was too thick and they couldn't see the phone screen at all. They could only judge by the feel of the screen close to their eyes.
After finally recognizing the interface, everyone found that there was no signal at the upper right corner of the phone and they could not make calls.
Lin Jin jumped down from the tree and took two tentative steps based on her memory of how she came here.
The ground was flat and she groped her way forward.
As she walked further, she felt the air becoming more and more humid. She could feel water stains on the tree trunks, and her coat stuck to her arms with dampness.
The feeling I had when I made the decision just now came back again. There was something in the fog. This was Lin Jin's intuition.
She took out her cell phone and tentatively dialed the police number, and surprisingly the call went through.
"Hello! This is the 110 emergency center."
Lin Jin said hurriedly, "Hello, I'm lost in Kongping Mountain. It seems to be foggy here. I'm trapped inside and can't get out."
"Kongping Mountain?"
The operator repeated it again.
"Hello, Miss. Are you sure you are in Kongping Mountain? Do you know where you are? Are there any people or signs around?"
Lin Jin answered honestly.
"I'm sure I'm at Kongping Mountain, about halfway up the mountain. I want to come here to exercise, but I don't know why I can't get out. And the fog is so thick, is it some kind of smog?"
The operator immediately recorded the information and said, "OK, ma'am, we've already been informed. I'll send someone there right away. Please stay where you are and keep the line open at all times."
"OK."
Lin Jin hung up the phone and waited where she was according to the operator's instructions.
After waiting for about ten minutes, she suddenly felt uneasy and anxious, as if something bad was about to happen.
Lin Jin listened carefully and discovered that there was a faint scream coming from the fog. The scream came from time to time, sometimes far away and sometimes near, sometimes beside her ears and sometimes from all directions.
She judged based on the instructions and the fog, and quickly decided to take the initiative and run after the sharp sound.
.....
There was heavy fog on Kongping Mountain, and some people were trapped and lost inside, so the relevant branch immediately went out to rescue them.
A group of policemen drove to the foot of the mountain. As soon as they got off the car, they suddenly found that the place had been surrounded by another group of people. The foot of the mountain was full of soldiers armed with live ammunition, and there was even a helicopter overhead.
The officers were stopped by a middle-aged man with four stars on his shoulders.
"What are you doing here? Didn't we inform you that this place has been taken over by us?"
The police from the branch saluted and reported the situation in detail.
"Reporting to the leader, we received a call from the police. A tourist said he was lost in the mountains. We also heard that a film crew was also lost in the mountains."
"The crew said they lost contact with the director after noon, and they haven't seen him coming down from the mountainside yet."
The man's hand tightened, "I know, there is smog in Kongping Mountain, and our people have gone in to search. Don't worry, go back without worries!"
Several policemen looked at each other and wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing that their leader's face looked strange, they had to salute again, get in the car and leave.
As soon as they left, the man quickly took out his walkie-talkie and reported the situation to the base.
"Reporting to the chief, the divisional police just said they received a call that some tourists were trapped in the mountains, and a film crew went into the mountains to film and lost contact since noon."
Shen Peirong ended the call with a serious expression and looked up at Shen Lingyu who was being bandaged nearby.
"Xiao Yu, there are about 20 to 30 people trapped in the mountains. Can you still hold on?"
Shen Lingyu nodded, and with the help of a female soldier, she wrapped her injured arm with several layers of gauze to apply pressure.
"I can still hold on."
She changed into the costume handed to her and put the night vision goggles on her head.
Fortunately, although the fog in the forest was thick, they could still see the road clearly with the night vision goggles.
The soldiers who climbed up the mountain all had grim faces. Although the commander did not say what the specific mission was, judging from the unusual fog, it was definitely not a good thing.
A group of people held tightly onto wooden magazines filled with live ammunition. They felt heavy, but fortunately they still felt a little safe.
Shen Lingyu finished his equipment, picked up the sword again and headed into the fog again.
Where she had been, a pit had long stopped secreting juice, and the chopped-off dead branches had also been collected by someone.
Shen Peirong watched the group leave with concern. She stayed where she was, staring at a palm-sized screen.
Just now, after the human-faced tree root attacked them, it did not bother them for too long, but left quickly.
Although they failed to find it at the first time, fortunately the entire mountain was covered with molecular detectors. Whenever there was a fluctuation in the values, they would know where the roots of the human-faced tree had gone.
This time, the human-faced tree root has taken the initiative to hurt people, and its level must be redefined.
No longer D-level, but...A-level!
.....
Lin Jin walked in the fog for half an hour and found that she seemed to be going deeper and deeper.
The clothes became heavier and heavier, and water dripped from the hem.
Fortunately, the further she walked in, the less fog she felt, and at least she could see her fingers again.
Lin Jin took out her cell phone and saw that there was still a signal on the interface. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and stopped at the alarm interface, ready to call the police at any time if anything went wrong.
“Wow!”
After turning around a few times, the sound of the baby crying suddenly rang out again.
This time the sound was very close, and seemed to be not far ahead.
Lin Jin looked around cautiously, "Who?"
Looking around following the mist in front of me, my heart, which had just been pounding, slowly calmed down.
No one answered Lin Jin. The crying stopped immediately after she finished speaking, but not long after, another rustling sound was heard.
The sound was very strange, like someone walking on the grass, or like something was moving back and forth across the grass.
Lin Jin stared at the source of the sound suspiciously and asked again: "I saw you."
As soon as he finished speaking, something emerged from the fog.
The man had a very strange figure, with a large arc-shaped head with many small leaves hanging on it, and his hands on his waist formed the shape of two teacup handles.
Lin Jin took out an iron rod from the space and placed it beside her, holding it tightly and staring at the person who came.
The fog gradually dissipated, and finally, a figure walked out of the fog.
