The scorching sun hangs high in the sky above the world, and its vicious sunlight shines onto the ground.
In the empty carriage, Lu Zeyu tugged at his clothes impatiently.
The long and bumpy journey exhausted all his patience, and he was drenched in sweat and had no mood to look at the scenery outside the window.
The originally full signal on his phone had disappeared. Lu Zeyu stared at the screen. A message was sent to his phone three days ago.
"help me!"
A location was also sent to Lu Zeyu's mobile phone.
The person who sent the message was a taciturn girl in the class. She rarely communicated with others, and most people didn't even know there was such a person.
Just like grass, no one would notice her at all.
Her WeChat account happened by chance. While serving food in the canteen, he turned around and bumped into Lu Zeyu. That was the first time Lu Zeyu knew that there was such a person in his class.
Maybe he was the first boy she added.
After receiving the information, Lu Zeyu rushed to the city immediately. After arriving in the city, he immediately went to the police station to report the matter.
However, no matter what, I can't tell anything about this matter.
Without anyone's help, he had no choice but to go to the village in the coordinates alone.
The scenery outside the window passed by in a flash, and Lu Zeyu was so confused about the unknown that he could not appreciate it.
The sky gradually darkened, bringing a bit of coolness to Lu Zeyu.
In the blink of an eye, there was a powerful thunderbolt, and raindrops fell with crackling sounds.
As if something hit him twice on the neck, Lu Zeyu looked up.
A few drops of water dripped from the ceiling. I wiped my neck and tried to sit down in a different position.
I felt a wet feeling on the soles of my feet and looked down.
The originally brand-new bus became dilapidated and squeaked as it moved.
His sneakers were already soaked with water. Seeing this, Lu Zeyu bravely walked to the cab and tried to question the driver.
"Master, why is it leaking?"
There was no answer. There was no other driver in the cab.
A blistered, white and swollen corpse sat on the driver's seat, its dark eyes staring forward.
"Ahhh!"
Seeing this, his legs were no longer able to support him and he continued to stand.
With a thud, he fell to the ground and rushed towards the car door.
Water gurgled in from every corner of the car.
Lu Zeyu slapped the glass hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it at all.
The water level in the car gradually rose and soon reached the neck. Seeing this, Lu Zeyu shouted:
"Is there... pfft... anyone? Save someone! Pfft..."
The phone in the pocket without any signal vibrated again, and several messages appeared.
"Don't come."
"leave me alone!"
"Don't trust anyone!"
"Run!"
Lu Zeyu no longer had the mind to think about the content of the message. The water had already covered his head.
Darkness gradually occupied everything within the field of vision, floating upward feebly.
Is this the end? Obviously everything hasn't started yet.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Lu Zeyu, who floated to the shore, gasped for air. The joy of surviving the disaster made him forget about the corpse next to him.
Observing the surroundings, it was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a river passing through the middle.
Lu Zeyu was washed ashore by this river.
When I pressed the power button on the phone, nothing happened. It was waterlogged and can no longer be used.
“It’s a waste of time to come here and use a mobile phone.”
Lu Zeyu complained.
The dilapidated bus was lying on its side by the river and kicked a few times.
"You were the one who brought me here!"
Five meters away from the corpse, Lu Zeyu did not dare to move forward and could only keep saying harsh words.
Suddenly, the corpse's palm opened and its swollen fingers pointed to a certain place.
Lu Zeyu quickly took a few steps back after seeing it.
Two words appeared under the palm.
Save Bai.
Seeing these two words, Lu Zeyu remembered his purpose.
After recalling everything that happened before, I realized that there were so many unreasonable things, but I didn’t even have the slightest doubt!
Why would I come here for the first time for a person I met by chance?
Why can't I explain to others what happened here?
Doubts welled up in his mind. At this time, Lu Zeyu no longer wanted to find the answers to these questions.
He just wanted to leave this damned place as soon as possible and walk in the opposite direction where the corpse pointed.
After walking a few steps, the footsteps stopped and he glanced at the ground viciously and said:
"I really owe you."
Lu Zeyu felt very uncomfortable with the wet clothes sticking to his body.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Lu Zeyu's pace gradually accelerated.
Holding his shoulders with his hands, Lu Zeyu thought with a shiver, who knows what he would encounter in a place like this at night.
Orange-red firelight lit up in front, and Lu Zeyu walked forward cautiously.
Pushing aside the grass, a stream of people holding torches passed by.
The orange fire illuminated the faces of the crowd, and strange smiles appeared on their faces.
There were no words, everyone was walking numbly, with weird expressions on their faces.
After Lu Zeyu saw this situation, he followed the crowd.
Walking in the queue pretending to be a weird smile similar to that of people.
Orange lights pointed the way ahead, and a village appeared in front of them.
It can be seen that the village is in good condition with many two-story buildings standing on flat land.
The village is surrounded by large areas of farmland and ripe corn surrounds the village.
Dark gaps are exposed between the tall corn stalks, and the rustling sound echoes across the fields when the wind blows, which is especially scary at night.
The flow of people began to break up after entering the village. Seeing the flow of people gradually disappearing, Lu Zeyu had no choice but to follow the footsteps of the man holding a torch in front of him and head towards the interior of the village.
Arriving at a small courtyard located inside the village, the man holding a torch pushed open the door and entered, locking Lu Zeyu out.
Looking at the locked door, Lu Zeyu knocked helplessly.
No matter what, it was better to have a place to stay than to be outside at this night.
"Who?"
A middle-aged man's voice came from the inside of the door, asking cautiously.
"Uncle, my car overturned when I got here on a tour. I'm not familiar with this place, can you let me stay for one night?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Zeyu added:
"I can pay for it."
After hearing this, the door was carefully opened a crack and cautiously looked out.
Outside the door, a young man wearing white casual clothes stood outside the door with a smile.
Lu Zeyu quickly took out a few red bills from his pocket and handed them through the crack in the door.
After receiving the banknotes, the middle-aged man slowly opened the door.
"Come in, but do as I say."
After hearing this answer, Lu Zeyu quickly smiled and said:
"Okay, uncle, I'm just an obedient person."
