As the saying goes, what you think about every day is what you dream about every night, but what I had was a nightmare.
In the dream, there was a female ghost with disheveled hair chasing me. After all, I couldn't outrun the female ghost. The distance between me and her was getting closer and closer. Finally, a cold hand grabbed my neck. .
"Ah!" I woke up from my dream and stood up suddenly. After I realized it was a dream, I relaxed.
I looked at my phone and saw it wasn't even five o'clock yet.
The one who was keeping vigil now was Xu Xue. When she saw that I woke up, she smiled at me.
I smiled back.
"You go and take a nap." I said, "I'll keep watch for you."
"Thank you." Xu Xue smiled and said, "But I don't need to trouble you, I'm not very sleepy."
I smiled and nodded, then counted the number of people.
There were seven of us, not one more, so it looked like we had a safe first night.
"Is it because the ghost didn't find a chance to take action, or is it the calm before the storm?" I thought to myself.
Also, what does it mean that the middle-aged driver’s final vision may not necessarily be true? The general meaning of this sentence is that what the eyes see may not be true. What did the middle-aged driver want to tell me?
But maybe he just said it casually and didn't mean anything at all. Maybe it’s just me, the listener, who took this sentence as a life-saving straw.
I opened my backpack, took a sip of water, licked my lips, and then put the water into my backpack.
I asked everyone last night and found that everyone only had two bottles of water in their backpack. If you don’t save on drinking, it would be almost impossible to last six days with just this amount of water, so I am actually more inclined to complete the task of killing ghosts. this goal. The second goal seems safe, but in fact it is not. Even if we can really stick to it, as time goes by, can we, who are extremely short of water, really be able to save our lives when the ghosts are chasing us?
During the day, we discussed our next plan again.
Cui Shiyu believes that sticking to the situation is the safest way now, so he suggests that we strengthen our vigilance in place, retreat instead of advancing, and wait and see what happens.
I think we should be both offensive and defensive. We must guard at night, but we might as well go out and take a look during the day. As long as we are careful and don't leave alone, we should be fine. Then I patiently analyzed the current situation for everyone. I probably said that if you keep watching, it will be no problem for a day or two, but after five or six days, it may be difficult for us who are extremely short of water to fight against ghosts, so it is better to take advantage of the situation. Go out and take a look during the day, maybe you can find some clues.
Seeing that everyone still looked a little worried, I said: "We won't go far. At worst, we can make some marks on the way there, and maybe we can find a water source."
At this time, everyone nodded. Cui Shiyu snorted, but did not object.
In fact, there is one more thing I haven't said, that is, I want to take this opportunity to learn more about it. Now we are simply ignorant and can only silently accept the orders of the class teacher, and the final outcome is probably death. Knowing more information now may give you a chance to survive.
So we carried our backpacks and held ghost sticks in our hands, and walked cautiously in one direction. We would carve a cross-shaped mark on a few big trees separated by them.
We walked very slowly because we had to be wary of ghost attacks and mark the place.
The further you go, the more terrifying you become, because the surrounding flowers, plants and trees become weirder as you go further. For example, not far ahead, there is a tree that looks like an umbrella. The outer edge of the umbrella tree is covered with unknown heart-shaped red fruits. The bright color does not make people feel beautiful, but has a certain meaning. A strange kind of horror. There is also a plant that looks like a morning glory, but it is much larger. It is larger than an adult man.
"Ye Yan..." Zhang Xinyu swallowed and said, "Are you sure we want to continue walking?"
In fact, I was a little timid when I came here. I had never seen these weird plants before. I said, "Let's go back. I always feel that something bad might happen if we continue going down..."
Just as we were walking back, Chen Ming suddenly screamed.
We turned around and looked at Chen Ming confused, asking what happened?
"You...did you see that the umbrella tree was moving just now?" Chen Ming stammered.
Hearing this, we immediately looked at the umbrella tree, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual.
"Are you so scared that you are hallucinating? Maybe it was just the wind, so don't be suspicious..." Li Qing sneered. Just as he was about to mock, his voice stopped abruptly, because the umbrella tree was right next to us. There was movement under my eyes, and the morning glory seemed to have grown legs, moving quickly towards us.
Li Qingbei was so frightened that he screamed. He no longer cared about the taunts and even ran and crawled in the direction he came back.
We ran back as hard as we could, and halfway there, we heard Chen Ming scream.
I looked back and saw that Chen Ming's upper body was bitten by the morning glory, and Chen Ming's faint cry for help came from inside. As the morning glory trembled, Chen Ming's body also followed the morning glory's trembling, and was sucked in bit by bit. The two of them held on tightly with their hands outside, trying to break free. But it was obvious that his strength was not enough to push the morning glory away, and his body was still sucked in at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Since the person is still alive, no matter what, I can't just ignore him. I immediately ran back, grabbed one of Chen Ming's legs, and pulled him out hard.
Even with all my strength, I couldn't pull Chen Ming out, but it also stopped the giant morning glory from sucking in.
Zhang Xinyu saw me running back, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, ran to my side, and grabbed Chen Ming's other leg.
"I shout one, two, three, count to three, and we both pull together." I said concisely.
"good!"
"one two three!"
Following my command, Zhang Xinyu and I used our strength at the same time to finally pull Chen Ming out of the giant morning glory's mouth.
Chen Ming's face was covered with red mucus at this moment, and a fishy smell floated out.
"Let's go." Zhang Xinyu and I dragged Chen Ming from left to right and ran forward desperately.
When they reached a certain range, the plants shook their huge bodies unwillingly a few times and then stopped.
Even though the weird plants didn't catch up, we still ran forward for a long time, and we didn't stop until we couldn't see the plants at all.
"Grass, this smells really disgusting." After Chen Ming ran out, he coughed heavily.
"Are you okay?" I stepped forward and asked.
"It's okay, you're paralyzed." Chen Ming came up and punched me in the face, cursing while hitting me.
I didn't fight back.
"Chen Ming, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Zhang Xinyu stopped Chen Ming and glared at him: "Are you fucking crazy? Without Ye Yan, you would have become the nourishment of that morning glory."
"Oh? You mean I have to thank Ye Yan?" Chen Ming sneered and said, "Don't forget, it was Ye Yan who asked to come out and take a look."
"X Damn it, can you blame Ye Yan for this? Besides, didn't you agree to it at the time?" Zhang Xinyu cursed angrily.
"Okay, Ye Yan also saved your life. It's even. If you have any dissatisfaction, wait until you get back to school. Now is not the time to quarrel." Guo Mengqi persuaded.
I lowered my head and said sorry.
"Humph." Chen Ming glanced at me angrily, but stopped taking action.
Cui Shiyu looked at me, snorted coldly, and said: "What about Ye Yan, it's still my direction, right? At least it's safe."
I have no words.
Seeing that I remained silent, Cui Shiyu said proudly: "You have all seen that wandering around will only lead to your death in vain, so you should just guard it honestly, so as not to die without knowing how."
So we went back the way we came. On the way, Chen Ming cursed: "What the hell is this? It stinks."
Chen Ming wanted to wash his face with water, but it was impossible for him to use the drinking water that saved his life to wash his face, so he could only endure it.
Following the way we came, we finally found traces of yesterday's fire. Compared with the place just now, this place couldn't be safer.
Like yesterday, we broke many branches and used them as firewood. Then he sat there and watched carefully.
We kept watch all day and into night, and we built a fire.
Still keeping vigil in the same order as yesterday.
I concentrated on holding on for an hour, and after waking up the next person, I leaned against a tree to sleep.
In my daze, I seemed to hear a scream.
I stood up holding on to the big tree and looked at Chen Ming with a confused look on his face.
At this time, Zhang Xinyu came over and said something to me with an ugly face, which made my sleepiness disappear immediately.
"Li Qing is dead!"
