Chapter 86
"Let me go first, cough cough!"
Chu Huaiqin tried to push away the young monk, who was nearly breaking his neck, but the moment he did, the monk's grip tightened. Seeing Chu Huaiqin's distress, Xia En rushed to help, using all his strength to tear the monk off.
Seeing that he was about to jump on Chu Huaiqin again, Xia En said coldly, "If you dare to strangle me again, I will throw you out."
The little monk was so frightened that his face turned pale again, and then he went to hug Su Huaichen.
"Let's go and take a look!" Chu Huaiqin could vaguely hear where the sound came from. If he didn't go and take a look, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"It's night time now, Huaiqin, what if it's not tomorrow?" Su Huaichen was not afraid of being hugged by the little monk, because he was also afraid. Instead, he felt safer when hugged by the little monk.
"There's no sound during the day, so we might not be able to find where it's coming from."
"But……"
"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look. I won't get close."
Chu Huaiqin tore Lin Zhinan off and wanted her to hug Su Huaichen, but she shook her head and stopped hugging Chu Huaiqin. Instead, she reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes, as if to say, "Wherever you go, I will go."
The livestreamers were also in a state of panic. Chu Huaiqin and the others could hear the sound clearly, so they could hear it too. The sound, clearer than before, nearly made the tens of millions of viewers online jump up and down. They couldn't help but look behind them, as if something was behind them.
"Here it comes, it must be the devil's call."
"I wonder if anyone has heard of the legend of the watchtower. Legend has it that during a certain war, this was a military base. A woman was abducted and trapped atop the watchtower. After the world was liberated, the army withdrew, leaving only her. Due to the watchtower's unique structure, she couldn't descend. So, every day, she stood atop it, lighting the beacon to guide passing ships, while waving banners in the hope of saving her. But she waited and waited, ship after ship passed by, but none of them would land on the island to rescue her. Two months later, her food ran out, and she died in the watchtower. From then on, every night, the sea would be filled with the woman's cries, like a cry for help, and any ship or plane that heard her would suffer an accident."
“…”
"The legendary cursed sound. Whenever this sound is heard, planes will crash and ships will sink to the bottom of the sea."
"I've heard that, too."
"You're not thinking that this voice came from that woman, are you? Pfft, what's with all that street literature? It's not popular anymore."
"Civilized, prosperous, friendly, and destroy evil and drive them away."
"I've heard of it, but it can't be true! After all, there have been several accidents in this area of the sea."
"The bullet screen protects the body. If you don't believe it, it won't work. If you don't believe it, it won't work."
While everyone in the livestream room was sharing horror stories about this inexplicable "crying," Chu Huaiqin and the others had already decided to go and investigate. Turning on the light from their watches, Chu Huaiqin led Lin Zhinan in front, Xia Entropy beside him, and the little monk joined Su Huaichen. They slowly made their way towards the sound.
The beach was long, and the trees grew erratically, so the view was often blocked. The five of them held their breath as they walked side by side. As the sound grew closer, even the slightest sound of wind startled the little monk and Lin Zhinan. The live broadcast room was also very nervous, afraid that the computer would suddenly display something unbearable, and they were sweating with nervousness.
"Look, what is that?" The little monk had good eyesight and was the first to exclaim in the dark.
They paused and looked ahead. They saw only a gravel beach. Under the moonlight, the ebb and flow of the waves revealed a prominent barrier reef. On the shore, a massive rocky mountain stretched into the forest, towering and blending in with it.
"It's not there, it's above." Seeing that everyone was looking at the sea, the little monk anxiously pulled Chu Huaiqin and pointed to the depths of the grove.
"Isn't that a stone mountain?" Su Huaichen asked curiously.
"No, it's a boat." The little monk looked at Su Huaichen in disbelief. It was clearly a boat, but why did he see it as a mountain? "Brother."
The little monk called out, seeking approval.
Chu Huaiqin coughed lightly. He couldn't say that when he saw the black shadow, he actually thought it was a stone mountain.
"Let's go and take a look first." The distance was a bit far, and Chu Huaiqin didn't know what was going on.
The five of them approached slowly, guided by their watch lights. In the dim moonlight, the outline of the boat the monk had mentioned could be discerned; it must be a stranded ship. As they approached, the inexplicable wailing became clearer and clearer. They could tell it was blowing from the rocky mountain, passing through the stranded ship. Whether it was the mountain or the ship that was causing the wailing was unclear.
The dark night, the stranded ship, and the unknown crying sounds, this combination is quite devastating. Someone in the live broadcast room even said that he saw someone in the stranded ship.
It's obvious that the person who said this was just trying to join in the fun and scare people, and he was almost driven into autism by the scolding from the people in the live broadcast room.
Chu Huaiqin continued walking, and the frightened little monk quickly grabbed him.
"Let's not go!" The little monk was so scared that he almost fainted. To him, this ship was like a monster, no, it was something more terrifying than a monster.
"Now that we're here, let's go take a look!" Chu Huaiqin was quite interested in this ship. "Don't worry! We won't go in."
The five people were not far from the stranded boat. When they came under the boat, they startled a group of hermit crabs.
The ship was a medium-sized ship, its hull rusted, two stories high, and tightly pressed against the rock. One could imagine the scene at the time of its departure: it must have lost control during a storm, hit a reef, and crashed into the island.
"The sea breeze is strong at night, and it blows into the gaps, creating vortexes of gas, which is why it makes this strange sound. You don't have to be afraid now, right?" Chu Huaiqin said, and when he saw the little monk and Lin Zhinan breathe a sigh of relief, he smiled. Only these two kids would be afraid of these things.
"Don't be afraid anymore." The two children said in unison, one letting go of Su Huaichen's arm, and the other letting go of Chu Huaiqin's clothes. The former's arm was pinched blue, and the latter's clothes were wrinkled to the point of being unshaped.
The livestreamers breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out the noise was caused by the rocky mountain! Nature is truly bizarre. So the person who told the strange story was dragged out and scolded by everyone, saying, "You're just trying to scare people on purpose."
After understanding the principle, several people returned to the camp.
Even though they knew what was going on, the sound was still very scary, so the two little ones slept close to Chu Huaiqin tonight, and Xia En laid down beside him again, gritting his teeth.
After a long sleep, the sun didn't come out. The sky was overcast and the wind was picking up. Chu Huaiqin sensed something was amiss. The director's team was also surprised and called the weather officer over. He was completely bewildered. Director Li was irritated by the Peacock Nation employee, who was clueless.
"I'll contact the local meteorologists," Director Li said gravely. The Peacock Country staffer called. The three directors were collaborating on the Asian season, each bringing their own team and then splitting up to handle specific areas of the work. Peacock Country was responsible for weather matters.
"You don't believe me?" The Peacock Country staff stared at Director Li in surprise and said angrily, "They did say the hailstorm ended yesterday. This is their problem."
"Give me the phone." Director Li didn't want to talk to him.
"Director Li, you can't help but believe it..."
"That's enough. Now it's not a question of whether to believe it or not. It's a phone call."
Director Li's voice became cold, and the staff of Peacock Country stammered and took out their phone number.
"Brahmin, it seems your staff still needs some professional training." Director Li said coldly, took the call from his assistant and started communicating with the local meteorological bureau.
As the communication deepened, Director Li's expression eased a little. It was indeed not the fault of the Peacock Country staff. This weather information was only obtained by their meteorological station in the early hours of last night. Fortunately, it was just heavy rain, not the hail he had imagined.
The weather in Bermuda is so active, spiritual and inhumane.
Director Li took a deep breath, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said that there would be heavy rain in two hours.
Everyone was stunned and didn't come back to their senses for a long time, especially Peacock Kingdom and others who were still running in the woods. They almost thought they had heard it wrong.
Peacock Nation: "Oh my God, they don't want us to build wooden houses now!"
Goryeo: "What should we do? What should we do? It's too late!"
Live broadcast room: ...
It was indeed too late to build the wooden house. The live broadcast room kept scolding the director team for not understanding the situation. There was a lot of noise both on the scene and in the live broadcast room.
"What should we do?" Su Huaichen looked at the dark sky and felt like the sky was about to fall. The waves were getting bigger and bigger, and his heart was pounding. Although it was raining heavily, judging from the strength of the wind, it was unrealistic for them to build the wooden house before the rain. If it was just a simple shed, it would be blown away by the wind.
Chu Huaiqin said in a deep voice: "Pack your things immediately, let's go hide on the boat first."
"Ah, it's not that ship!" The little monk stared at Chu Huaiqin in surprise, his mouth wide open.
"Yes, that's the boat," Chu Huaiqin nodded, and then said, "Hurry up, it's going to rain heavily. Xia Entanglement, little monk, go collect some dry firewood, and we'll collect the things. Hurry."
Chu Huaiqin gave the order and everyone moved quickly. Meanwhile, the six teams in the woods looked at each other and turned around anxiously.
"Let's build as many wooden houses as we can first." The sheep team spoke up. They had originally set out together with the camel team, but they didn't expect to meet up again while wandering around in the forest.
"Look at the sky," the camel caravan members said, looking at the sky that seemed to be covered with lightning nets with bitter faces, almost crying, "We will be struck by lightning before the wooden house is even built."
"What should we do? We can't get out of here even if we want to find a place to lie down! The Rolling Team is too selfish." The people of Goryeo gritted their teeth, as if if Chu Huaiqin stood in front of them, they would definitely pounce on him and take a few bites.
The Japanese looked at the director team, who were as still as a mountain and seemed to have no intention of taking any action. So they discussed with the team members for a while, and then raised their hands, "I want to ask for help."
When the Japanese said this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Only then did they remember that they had an opportunity to ask for help on the ABC islands before, but they didn't use it!
Someone in the live broadcast room suddenly realized, yes!
"Oh, oh, thankfully they didn't think of using up their chance last time they crossed Crocodile Bay, so now they've finally used it."
"Thank Chu Huaiqin!"
The director looked at the number of people present and saw that they were all people with this authority, so he asked, "What is your request for help?"
"Go directly to the watchtower?" The people of Goryeo said this whimsically.
Everyone was stunned. If we talk about shamelessness, the Peacock Monkey is external and naked, while the Goryeo team is definitely the Emperor's New Clothes.
"What a shame, they should have just given me the championship."
"My brother's thick skin was so thick that the hailstorms from the past two days couldn't break through it even after hitting him for so long. He's really amazing."
"How could he have the nerve to say that? All the friends were stunned."
Now several groups of directors almost rolled their eyes uncontrollably. Director Huang came out and said patiently, "It's not within the scope."
The monkey captain, who looked like a monkey with a pointed chin, stepped forward and said, "Our team demands to reach the rolling team."
Chinese audience: So shameless.
