C37 (1/2)
”Forget the bag for now, let's go!” Chen Ya stood on the slope and shouted to the two of them. It was because she saw the cadaver chasing after them from the forest.
Since the situation was critical, Zhou Yang knew that he would not be able to snatch the bag back. After that, he dragged Faang Zexi and ran up the slope with all his might.
Just then, Fann Wenqiang saw the bus that was not far away. Without thinking too much, he shouted loudly: ”Go to the bus!”
The group then went down the hill and rushed towards the bus. As the speed down the hill was obviously faster, they left the cadaver some distance behind.
When they arrived at the front of the bus, Fann Wenqiang opened the door first and allowed the others to get on one by one. Waiting until inside the carriage, Fann Wenqiang hurriedly locked the machinery lock on the inside of the carriage, and even pressed his back against the door, afraid that the cadaver s would break in.
It was dark inside the bus. Everyone was panicking.
Zhou Yang supported Faang Zexi and sat down, then checked the window. He noticed that several of the windows had shattered, but from this height, the cadaver should not have been able to jump into the car from the window.
Very quickly, sounds came from the outside of the bus, Zhou Yang carefully stuck his head out of the window, only to see a few cadaver s lying down, trying to climb up the window. The other two cadaver s used their long and sharp nails to scratch the door of the carriage, causing an ear-piercing sound.
”It's fine, they can't come in.” Fann Wenqiang was finally relieved and left the carriage.
”Hmm, these monsters don't seem to have much strength. They can only crawl around and randomly scratch around with their nails.” Zhou Yang agreed.
Lili and Chen Ya stuck close together. Lili's face was ghastly pale and she stared blankly. She was still thinking about the scene of Sun Miao's tragic death just now, and the psychological impact it had on her was just too great.
Faang Zexi held onto his leg, the pain was unbearable. Zhou Yang and the others all noticed that Faang Zexi's injured leg was obviously swollen, and some pitch black blood was seeping out.
Chen Ya quickly took out a pack of paper towels and wiped the wound on Faang Zexi's body again and again.
Hearing the sounds coming from outside the carriage, Zhou Yang realized that although they were safe inside, it would not be easy for them to leave since the monsters had already set their eyes on them. In other words, they were trapped.
It was not even 7 in the evening yet and daybreak was still a long way away. Zhou Yang was worried that these monsters would have to suffer for the entire night if they did not leave and that even if they left by dawn, it was unknown whether they would leave or not.
Moreover, Faang Zexi was injured on top of that.
Looking at his companions, Zhou Yang suddenly realised that this was the most difficult test of his life.
”Oh right, Chen Ya, are all our things inside that bag?” Fann Wenqiang asked.
”Yeah, including our cell phones.” Chen Ya said dejectedly.
”What did you say? None of your phones are on you?” Zhou Yang was stunned.
”Hmm, isn't this all handed over to Xiao Fang?” It was originally placed in the outer pocket of the backpack, so it's easy to pick it up. ” Fann Wenqiang said.
”Blame me! Blame me! I didn't manage that bag properly!” Faang Zexi blamed himself beyond belief.
”Then what should we do?” It was stolen by the cadaver! ” Lili said in grief.
”That's right, he couldn't even make a phone call.” Fann Wenqiang also complained.
”Wait, Lili.” This was the second time Zhou Yang had mentioned the two words ”cadaver”, ”The cadaver you mentioned, are it those monsters?”
”Yes, that's right.” Therefore, Lili told them that the cadaver s were the corpses that their Flower Snake Village had always been buried in trees. It was because before burial, there was an immersion ceremony to shrink their bodies so that they could be stuffed into the ginkgo tree, which was why the pitch black cadaver s were so small.
”You mean, those monsters outside were all dead in your village?” Chen Ya asked.
”Yeah, originally, they were buried in trees, but for some reason, they are alive now. Many of them even dug holes in the trees to crawl out. Their nails are sharp, long and poisonous, so don't let them get caught.” Lili replied.
”Lili, you should have known a long time ago that there was such a thing in Flower Snake Village, right?” Zhou Yang realized that Lili had a lot more information than them.
Lili lowered her head and did not answer.
Zhou Yang could tell that Lili was hiding something, but he immediately felt that there was something wrong with the whole thing.
”My Leg... It should be because of their fingernails, right? ” Hearing Lili's words, Faang Zexi became even more worried.
”It's possible.” Lili stared at Faang Zexi's calves that were swelling gradually, and said unwillingly.
”I think the biggest problem right now is not that we're stuck in a car, but that our backpack is missing. Almost everything we eat, everything we use, is in that bag. ” Fann Wenqiang concluded.
”Yea, this time I'm really unlucky!” Chen Ya complained.
”Do you think that if we wait until tomorrow, someone will come and save us?” Faang Zexi asked.
”Not necessarily.” Zhou Yang shook his head, ”For the time being, no one knows that we are trapped here. Only Qiao Mu and the others and some of the fans in our club know that we are here for Flower Snake Village exploration, but they might not take the initiative to contact us. Only after a few days, when they see we're not back yet, when they call us, do they realize that something has happened to us. So most of us can only hope that the rescue team will take a look at where they're going. ”
”If we wait for daybreak, the things outside …” Will you go away? I also haven't heard of any journalists or rescue teams discovering anything at Flower Snake Village. ” Chen Ya asked Lili.
”I don't know about that.” Lili replied.
”Sigh …” But can we make it? ” Chen Ya glanced at Faang Zexi's lower leg again, and said in a discouraged tone.
In fact, Qiao Mu had been worried about the safety of their trip from the start, so at the same time, Qiao Mu who had just arrived at home was dialing Zhou Yang's cell phone.
Just as he was about to hang up, Zhou Yang's phone suddenly connected. Qiao Mu quickly asked: Hey, what are you doing? You haven't answered the phone in so long. ”
There was a silence on the other end of the phone.
”Why aren't you talking?”
There was still no answer, but the call was not cut.
Qiao Mu's heart skipped a beat and he held his phone close to his ear. At this moment, he heard some noise. After a while, he heard the sound of wind and leaves.
Qiao Mu would never have thought that the one holding the phone and answering his call was a cadaver that was as black as coal!
”What is it?” Yang Jie saw that Qiao Mu was sitting on the sofa and did not speak so she asked hurriedly.
Qiao Mu hung up the phone and called back. This time, he was not answered.
”To Zhou Yang?” Seeing Qiao Mu put down the phone with a serious expression, Yang Jie sat down beside him.
”It's really strange. Someone picked up the phone but didn't say anything.” said.
”Maybe the signal is bad, or the phone is broken. Try calling someone else.”
Qiao Mu did as Yang Jie instructed and continuously called Fann Wenqiang. Sun Miao.
”Old Fan and the others aren't answering the phone?” Yang Jie asked.
”Yes.” Arbor felt more and more uneasy.
