Ghost Breath - C37
“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.
“What about the other two students who went with them?”
“I don’t have their number, but I’m guessing …”
“Stop estimating, I’ll call Miao Yue.”
Therefore, Yang Jie contacted the person in charge of the Qin Mu Club, the young girl Miao Yue, and asked for Faang Zexi and Lili’s cell phone numbers. She called her again, but no one answered.
“Let’s analyze this… Their cell phone’s signal is normal, just that Zhou Yang’s call was connected, what’s going on? Why would they not pick up the phone, and not talk to me even after receiving the call? ” Qiao Mu asked Yang Jie.
“This is rather strange. Could it be … Did they lose their cell phones, or were they stolen? ” Yang Jie speculated.
Qiao Mu thought about it and replied, “For the time being, I can only explain it this way.”
“But… Zhou Yang, Old Fan and the others should not have encountered such a thing. ” Yang Jie felt that it was strange.
“Forget it, let’s not discuss it anymore.” Qiao Mu stood up. “We’ll try contacting them tomorrow. If it’s still not possible, I might as well go to Flower Snake Village. Think about it, the Mr.Guo was somewhere that we don’t know about. There’s nothing we can do about it if something happened, but I know the general location that Zhou Yang and the others are at. If something happened to them, I would definitely be responsible! ”
Yang Jie was clear that Guo Yong’s matter had touched Qiao Mu, so she only lowered her head and did not think of stopping him.
The night was getting deeper and deeper.
Zhou Yang and the others had already stayed in the bus for more than three hours. Besides thirst and hunger, they also felt extremely cold as the temperature dropped. But the most important thing was that the movement outside the carriage did not stop. Apparently, the cadaver had not left yet.
In addition, Faang Zexi’s injured leg had become swollen, some green spots had even begun to appear.
Zhou Yang was depressed. He thought that as the vice president of the Qin Mu Club, the leader of this expedition team had actually caused this team to fall into such a predicament. If the remaining players were unlucky enough to die, the result would be a huge blow to Qiao Mu and the entire club.
He suddenly felt that he had let down the trust Qiao Mu and Old Qin had for him and angrily punched the window next to him.
Instantly, he saw that outside the window, there was an extremely ugly face that looked like it was made of moldy bread staring at him through the glass and a layer of night mist.
Zhou Yang shouted in shock, he jumped up like a spring, and as the others saw the situation, they immediately asked what had happened.
“Someone is standing outside the window!” Zhou Yang pointed. But that big ugly face was gone again.
“Someone’s here? Is it the rescue team? ” Chen Ya was filled with anticipation.
“No, no, definitely not!” Zhou Yang quickly shook his head.
Just then, Lili, who was sitting on the window seat, let out a scream as well, and left the window in a hurry.
“There are two shadows …” Two shadows passed by the window! ” Lili was so anxious that she almost choked on her saliva.
“Who’s outside?” Fann Wenqiang asked loudly.
Chen Ya and Faang Zexi also sat on the carriage window and watched from the sidelines.
“You guys be careful, those outside might not be people!” Zhou Yang reminded. Because he really couldn’t relate the face he had just seen to a normal human being.
Just as they were hesitating, that extremely ugly face that Zhou Yang saw appeared outside the car window once again. It stuck closely to the window, as if it couldn’t feel the window’s glass, and desperately struggled to get in.
At this point, everyone could clearly see what was going on. They were all dumbstruck.
The face was not only fat and large, but also full of knobbly pustules, puffy cheeks, and jowls. The neck was completely invisible, and the eyes were strangely hollow.
Fann Wenqiang tried his best to stay calm, and just as he was about to go closer to ask, the other windows suddenly revealed strange people. Some of them even had their hands on the windows. What made them alarmed was that the hands of this kind of weirdo were also fat and full of pustules. They even had sharp and long black nails like cadaver s.
Seeing this bizarre scene, the five of them were shocked speechless. They quickly pulled away from the window and gathered in the middle of the car. Fann Wenqiang did not dare to ask, because the answer was obvious.
These ugly freaks were definitely not humans!
In the next moment, they felt the body of the bus gently sway. It turned out that the strange people outside the car were working together to push the bus forward.
“What should we do?” Chen Ya asked nervously.
“Don’t worry, they’re trying to force us to get off! As long as you stay in the car, you’ll be fine! ” Zhou Yang said.
“What if they break down the windows and come in?” Faang Zexi asked.
Zhou Yang looked at the broken window on two sides that were no longer strong and was at a loss for words.
“I don’t know, just leave it to fate!” Fann Wenqiang sighed.
After the shaking continued for a while, the body of the car slowly came to a stop. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the weirdos should be the same as the cadaver, they shouldn’t have climbed in through the window.
But now, other than the cadaver, they had another group of enemies.
“Look!” Chen Ya suddenly pointed to the side of the window and said, “Do you guys feel that … “Do these two look like the old couple we saw in the picture of the old house?”
Lili hurriedly looked over. As expected, there was a male and a female who were both old and eccentric. They had their hands out of the window and their eyeballs were rolling around without focus. She was stunned for a long time before she finally said, “Yes, my two neighbors, old man Pang and old lady Sun, sigh … “They …”
“Didn’t you say they didn’t die?” Faang Zexi asked.
“That’s right!”
“But they look like this. Could they be alive?”
Not just Faang Zexi, even the others were puzzled. An answer appeared clearly in everyone’s minds.
“From what I see, this villager is not missing, but mutated!” Chen Ya said.
“I actually feel that… Corrosion is more appropriate to describe it as corrosive. ” Zhou Yang suddenly thought of Flower Snake Village, which had a strange color, reeked of a stench, and was connected to the waters of the Great Serpent Island. It was possible that the villagers had been drinking the river water for a long time, which was the reason for this sudden change.
The Great Snake Island was where Guo Yong’s highly rotten toxic water was, and the people of the village came over to see the mutated river near Small Snake Island. The two places weren’t too far apart, yet they were both rumored to be haunted and full of unknown mysteries. Just what kind of connection did they have?
However at this critical moment, Zhou Yang had no time to think about it carefully, he only felt that if he was lucky enough to leave the Flower Snake Village, he would have to investigate a lot of things.
Just as he was about to ask Lili if he had seen any other familiar faces, he saw that Lili was holding onto the car window with both of his hands, and was crying bitterly.
Outside the window, there were two weirdos. They seemed to be an old couple like the other weirdos, with their bodies leaning on the window as their eyes rolled around.
Lili was extremely hurt, she even started to cry, and for a moment, she forgot to be afraid.
“Lili, what are you doing? Get away from the window!” Chen Ya anxiously reminded.
“This is …” My Dad… “My mom …” Lili finally spoke the truth.
