Ghost Breath - C36

“Lili, since you said it like that, we should go over and take a look. Also, that Small Snake Island, the reason we are here, isn’t it precisely to expose the feudal superstition, to look for the reason behind all these strange happenings.” Chen Ya said.

“I understand, I understand, but I think that since the Flower Snake Village is so large, there are still many places that we have yet to investigate. We don’t need to go to dangerous places first, right? Besides, we don’t have a boat. ”

“Lili is right.” Zhou Yang said, “Stepping by step, is the main theme of the exploration. We should indeed search through the Flower Snake Village for clues, but as for that island, we definitely need to go there. It’s late today. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go back to town and ask the locals if they have a way to get a boat here. How about it? ”

“Sure, it’s settled then.” Fann Wenqiang said.

In the end, after Lili’s persuasion, they still did not cross the stone bridge.

In fact, Zhou Yang understood that girls like Lili, who had grown up in the countryside, were very sensitive to local superstitions, so his actions now had the intention of taking care of Lili’s emotions.

The six of them walked along the river bank for a while as the sky gradually darkened.

When humans look at all things in the world, the feelings they feel day and night are completely different. The dark night was equivalent to a pressure. At this moment, the six people who were persevering within the Flower Snake Village were currently enveloped by this pressure.

Following the arrival of the night, the wind blowing from the Flower Snake Village became stronger. Trees and branches lightly swayed, and occasionally, a few black tiles were blown down from the roof.

The six of them walked all the way to the edge of the Flower Snake Village area. Seeing how sparse the houses were, when they went over a small hill, Sun Miao suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the picture in front of them.

“Hey, look, that bus!”

Indeed, not far from them was the bus that had overturned the mountain road and lost more than twenty people.

Now that the incident had been reported repeatedly on the news and had been investigated, there was still no clue to the disappearance of the passengers and the driver.

Zhou Yang received Yang Jie’s call long ago to know about this matter, and then he used his phone to search for the relevant news.

The six of them slowly approached the bus. Zhou Yang raised his head and looked up. He could vaguely see a mountain road and a large amount of trees that extended from the mountain road to the foot of the mountain. Zhou Yang thought that it was probably because of this that the bus did not suffer as much damage.

In addition, Zhou Yang noticed that the bus was standing right there. It did not flip or flip, but because the left front wheel had fallen off, the bus was tilting towards the left front. He guessed it was the rescue team.

“Have you guys seen the news? The people on this dead bus are all missing.” Chen Ya said as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, chilled by the wind.

“Look, there’s a total of twenty-something people including the driver. If you say there’s nothing, then there’s nothing.” Faang Zexi was also carefully sizing him up.

“In this respect, it’s quite strange.” Sun Miao said.

“Aiya, this village is too strange. People often go missing.” Faang Zexi said again.

Zhou Yang did not say anything, but instead, he circled the bus, and suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

“Something’s not right!” Zhou Yang returned to his original position and frowned.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Ya asked anxiously.

“I don’t know. When I first saw the car, I felt something was wrong. Something must be wrong!” While talking, Zhou Yang thought hard.

“There’s nothing wrong …” Faang Zexi imitated Zhou Yang’s actions and said slowly.

“No, no, there’s definitely something wrong with it. My intuition can’t be wrong!” Zhou Yang said firmly.

Suddenly, an image appeared in his mind. It was the scene of the accident that Yang Jie had previously sent him.

He quickly took out his phone from the side pocket of the big backpack that Faang Zexi was carrying, and looked for the photo. For ease of movement, therefore, everyone’s cell phone is kept in the outside pocket of the large backpack.

When he saw the photo again, Zhou Yang’s expression was extremely strange, as if he had been possessed. He switched on the wireless network on his cell phone and looked at the pictures on the news.

“This doesn’t make sense …” Zhou Yang muttered to himself.

“What is it? Tell me quickly!” Chen Ya urged.

The others looked at Zhou Yang cautiously.

Zhou Yang directly handed the phone to Chen Ya, and said: “Take a look at the live picture of the news, see how different it is from here.”

After that, Zhou Yang went back to circling around the bus, while the others gathered behind Chen Ya.

After looking for a bit, Sun Miao noticed that something was amiss and asked loudly: “Eh? The scene of the accident in the photo, why is it different from here? ”

“What do you mean?” Faang Zexi was slow to react, he did not understand yet.

“Look at the series of pictures of the scene of the accident on the news. The bus is right next to the foot of the mountain and there’s a lot of trees nearby. But now, the bus we saw was on a flat, empty piece of land. There was nothing around us, and it was quite a distance away from the foot of the mountain. ”

“In other words, this car has been moved somewhere?”

“Yes!”

“No wonder. I was wondering how a car that was flipped over from the mountain could land in such a place.” Fann Wenqiang also said.

“Is it possible that the rescue team pushed the car over here before they left?” Chen Ya asked.

“Impossible!” Zhou Yang turned around and directly denied it.

“Why?” Chen Ya looked at Zhou Yang.

“Squat down and take a look, one of the front wheels of this bus is missing. I think it was hit and the tire and wheel hub flew out together. In this situation where there were only so many wheels, it was impossible to push a bus by relying on manpower! Besides, there were no traces of it being carried out on the ground. The only way was with the help of a large trailer, but the news said that because of the narrow mountain road, the trailer would not come in. If they did send a trailer, they could just directly drag the car away. “What’s the point of dragging it here?”

The others were silent for a moment, thinking that Zhou Yang’s words were reasonable. Zhou Yang looked at the foot of the mountain and noticed that a large part of the ground had caved in, he pointed and said: It should be the original location of the bus.

“Yeah, I saw it too. They are only dozens of meters apart, is there a need to move the car here?” I even thought it would be better to park at the foot of the mountain. ” Sun Miao also said.

“According to your analysis …” Chen Ya placed her hand on her waist, looking very tired, “The rescue team wouldn’t move the carriage here, who moved it?”

“That’s right …” Who would have the idea to move a bus? ” Sun Miao was also at a loss.

Zhou Yang thought for a moment, then said: “The crucial question is, how did you do it?”

“If it were me, I would definitely be unable to find a solution no matter how hard I try.” Fann Wenqiang said as he kicked the bus.

“This kind of bus must weigh at least seven tons, and if we add on the missing front wheel, it would definitely be unrealistic to rely on manpower to push the bus over, unless we use tools.” Sun Miao said.

“Then why are there no marks on the ground?” Lili asked.

“There is only one possibility.” Zhou Yang concluded, “There’s someone … or many people used some sort of method to carry this bus here. ”

“My God! Was there a need to carry it? How much manpower would that require? ” Chen Ya did not dare believe it.

“It sounds incredible, but it’s the answer to the current situation.” Sun Miao said.

“But… What’s the good of it? ” Even Faang Zexi had a serious expression on his face as he covered his chin.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, they felt a strong gust of wind that gave them goosebumps. It was also because of the open area that there was no shelter from the wind or rain.

“How about we… Shall we go somewhere else? ” Lili said with an almost pleading tone. She really didn’t want to be here anymore.

“Fine, whatever happens to this car, it’s none of our business.” Chen Ya said.

After making up their minds, they left the side of the bus and walked towards a patch of forest. Zhou Yang was not willing to give up and turned to look at the bus again. He realized that the bus was shrouded in darkness, almost like a coffin.

When they entered the forest, Chen Ya looked at the time, which was six in the afternoon. It was almost dark, and there was only a faint light.

When they reached the forest, they were surrounded by true darkness. Zhou Yang took the lead, while the others followed closely behind him.

“Speak… What are we doing here? ” Chen Ya asked.

“Yeah, it’s already dark now. Boss, let’s hurry up and find a place to set up our tent.” Faang Zexi said to Zhou Yang.

“Do you know the essence of exploring? Don’t let go of any corner.” Zhou Yang joked.

After walking for a while, Zhou Yang felt that they had reached the depths of the forest, so he led the way and stopped, looking around.

Although the sky was completely dark, Zhou Yang could still see that there were a lot of different types of trees in the forest. Beside them, there were a few big ginkgo trees.

Just as Fann Wenqiang was about to make a torch on the spot, he heard Faang Zexi shouting, “Aiyo, Sister Chen, stop messing around, I’m very tired!”

Fann Wenqiang was startled, he approached Xiao Fang and asked: “Xiao Fang, what did you say?”

“I say, Sis Chen, she’s making a ruckus with me again. She’s poking me in the back with a branch.”

Fann Wenqiang looked at the thing beside him and felt a chill in his heart. He realised that Chen Ya was standing beside him, and was looking at him in shock.

“Xiao Fang, I’m not behind you …” Chen Ya tremblingly said to the Faang Zexi who was in the darkness.

Faang Zexi’s back instantly felt a chill, and he slowly turned around. Behind him, there was actually a large ginkgo tree. Just like the ginkgo tree he had seen before, there was also a piece of black cloth pinned to the trunk of the ginkgo tree.

He thought back to what Lili had said before, that the gingko that was nailed to the black cloth was used to bury corpses.

At this time, sounds of straw echoed from the trunk of the ginkgo tree. Apparently there was something moving inside the tree.

Faang Zexi was about to shout, but who knew that his two calves were suddenly bound by some kind of force. He looked down at the tree trunk and saw that there was another tree hole at the bottom.

In truth, Faang Zexi was not that brave, so he nearly fainted from the fright. As he shouted, he struggled to free himself, but luckily he had enough strength and was able to shake off the black thing.

“Xiao Fang, what’s going on? Were you bitten by a snake?” Zhou Yang asked.

“No!” No! There is something that is like a human being! ” Faang Zexi held onto his leg, and retreated quickly.

“Like a human?” Chen Ya supported Faang Zexi and asked nervously.

“En!” Faang Zexi nodded his head heavily, and swallowed his saliva, “It’s only that tree that came out from the tree, don’t get any closer to it!”

“Over there!” Sun Miao suddenly found her target and pointed.

Because it was too dark in the forest, the crowd could not see clearly. They could only see something especially dark, constantly crawling and moving on the ground.

“It’s the cadaver! The cadaver! ” Lili shouted.

“What’s a cadaver?” Zhou Yang asked loudly.

And at the same time, Zhou Yang asked this question, the several ginkgo trees closest to him all started to move. At last they could see that black, clawed creatures with hands and feet were coming out of the trunk.

In an instant, accompanied by a soft rustling sound, several cadaver crawled on the ground.

Faang Zexi was so scared that his face turned pale white, and he froze on the spot.

“Let’s go!” Don’t be in a daze! ” Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, Zhou Yang ordered loudly.

Therefore, Zhou Yang took the lead and escaped, returning the way he came. Chen Ya and Lili supported Faang Zexi together, while Fann Wenqiang and Sun Miao were in charge of the rear.

The group of people ran in the forest, all of them panicking, until the sound of the cadaver s crawling completely disappeared, only then did they relax. At this time, Zhou Yang saw that it was a little light in front of him, and thought that it should be the exit of the forest.

“Let’s get out of this forest, fast! Quick, catch up one by one! ” Zhou Yang turned his head and said loudly.

Just as the others were about to respond to Zhou Yang, suddenly, Sun Miao, who was at the very back of the group, let out a blood-curdling screech. A large tree behind Sun Miao shook violently, and a few cadaver fell down from the tree like monkeys, while grabbing onto Sun Miao’s head and neck.

The most tragic scene immediately occurred. One of the cadaver firmly grabbed Sun Miao’s hair with one hand while the other used its sharp and long fingernails to instantly pierce through Sun Miao’s throat. Blood surged and dyed Sun Miao’s entire body red. At the same time, the other cadaver extended its fingernails into Sun Miao’s mouth, fiercely grabbing onto Sun Miao’s tongue and forcefully pulling him out.

Facing such a terrifying situation, even the female warrior, Chen Ya, let out a heart-tearing and lung-splitting cry. Lili was so scared that not even a sound came out from her throat, it was as if her legs were stepping on cotton. Faang Zexi acted like she had gone mad and screamed in shock. Zhou Yang and Fann Wenqiang were also trembling in fear.

The cadaver almost killed Sun Miao with its fastest speed, leaving them with no time to react. Very quickly, there were three other cadaver crawling towards Zhou Yang and the others, waiting for the right opportunity to make a move.

Zhou Yang was the fastest to recover his rationality. He clearly understood that this was not the time to be sad, Sun Miao was already dead, but the threat had not been removed, so he had to make a prompt decision!

“Let’s go!” Sun Miao won’t be able to save it! ” Zhou Yang roared. At the same time, he grabbed onto Lili with one hand and Chen Ya with the other as he retreated quickly.

The cadaver also noticed that Zhou Yang and the rest were trying to escape, so after making it difficult for it to watch, it quickly crawled towards them.

Fann Wenqiang picked up a few stones and threw it at the cadaver, stalling for time for the others to retreat.

Luckily, they were close to the exit of the forest, so they were not lost. Zhou Yang and the others successfully returned to the flat area, but Faang Zexi’s calves were really in great pain. There was a slope in front of him, so it would be difficult to climb up.

“Xiao Fang, give me your bag.” Zhou Yang noticed that Faang Zexi was still carrying his big backpack, so he acted in an even more inconvenient manner. Thus, he helped Faang Zexi take off his backpack and helped him climb the slope, but just at this critical moment, a cadaver that was sticking out of the ground suddenly shot towards Zhou Yang and Faang Zexi. The two of them panicked, and the big backpack actually got snatched away by the cadaver.
